Gov. Bobby Jindal (R) has suspended his presidential campaign and will stay in Louisiana as the state deals with the aftermath of Thursday night’s tragic movie theater shooting.

“We are going to do whatever we can to support our community; this is a time for us to come together,” Jindal said Friday morning on “Fox and Friends,” where he confirmed his campaign’s suspension.

“It was an awful, awful night for our community.”

The presidential hopeful did not expand on how long his campaign will be suspended, and his campaign did not immediately return a request for comment.

“This could have happened anywhere, and one of the things you hear over and over is why here. You never want this to happen anywhere but you would never imagine it would happen in Louisiana,” he said. He added that he’s heard “amazing stories of heroism” from law enforcement who ran into the theater to confront the shooter.

God bless Bobby Jindal he is a good man.

RNC Chair Unveils Two Debt Clocks to be Used During 2012 Republican National Convention - video

RNC Chair Unveils Two Debt Clocks to be Used During 2012 Republican National Convention

Here is video of RNC Chair Reince Priebus unveiling two debt clocks that will appear all week at the 2012 Republican National Convention in Tampa. The one debt clock shows the National Debt, which may cross over to $16 Trillion during the Convention, thanks to Barack Obama’s massive spending. The other clock will show how much debt has been wracked up just during the few days of the Convention.

Wild Thing's comment...........

I am so glad they did these two clocks. The media will be seeing them as well as a constant reminder of what Obama has done.

Christie says he's open to 2016 presidential bid ~ Please NO!

Christie says he's open to 2016 presidential bid

Examiner

OCEAN CITY, N.J. (AP) — New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie says he's open to running for president in four years if the job is open.

The first-term Republican says he hopes fellow Republican Mitt Romney beats President Barack Obama in November and seeks re-election in 2016. But if the presidency is open, Christie says he'll "certainly think about it."

Christie rebuffed an opportunity to seek the GOP nomination this year. He was asked Wednesday at a boardwalk stop in Ocean City about running for the top spot in the next election.

He said: "If there's an opportunity for me to serve in another capacity and I think I have something to add to the mix, I don't think I'd back away from it."

Christie has been mentioned as a possible Republican convention keynote speaker.

Wild Thing's comment...............

Christie will never be President. His brash personality may be acceptable in the North East States but it will never be a hit in a lot of other States.For the same reason in reverse that Bobby Jindhal or Bob McDonnell , Rick Perry, Portman and many others would never be elected in Christie's state. Christie's rants are already getting old even if they are made at jerks.

Plus he was all for the mosque at Ground Zero. When conservatives protested his strong stance on the mosque by sending him emails etc. Christie verbally attacked conservatives in a press conference.

He will not support Jessica's Law in his State. Bill O'Reilly even has a petition for people to sign to try and get Gov. Cuomo and Gov. Christie to change their minds.

He supports Obamacare He refused to join the other 26 States to sue ObamaCare. He supports gun control While he cut spending, Christie relied on stimulus funding for his state

One last thing, his saying maybe 2016 is saying that he does not Romney to get two terms if he wins and this is negative and shows how phony Christie's endorsement was for Romney. I am praying hard that Romney wins and we get Obama out of office for good. I also pray if that happens we never have another democrat president in my lifetime.

When Whitney Houston died Christie put the Flag at half staff and I posted about a Marine that spoke out against what Christie did.

Editor of Germany’s Leading Business Daily: “Obama's the Wrong Guy in the Driver’s Seat”

The editor of Germany’s leading business daily – Handelsblatt – responds to President Obama’s recent testiness at one of their reporters at the G20 Summit as a result of an editorial written in the paper by Mitt Romney’s Chief Economics Adviser Glenn Hubbard.

The editor, Gabor Steingart, explains how Barack Obama has dramatically and dangerously accelerated America’s descent into unmanageable debt, and suggests Obama is right that there can only be one President at a time – “But maybe he’s the wrong guy in the driver’s seat.”

Mitt and Ann Romney were on with Sean Hannity tonight. The Republican nominee and his wife got a good chuckle out of Joe Biden’s latest gaffe. And, Mitt said this on the the Obama economic plan,
“Everything in his lexicon related to employment and job creators relates to punishment of some kind. How can we penalize you for doing things we don’t like. No Mr. President, make America the best place in the world for small business and you’ll see jobs again.”

Obama DOJ to Florida: Let The Dead Vote! …Update: Florida to Obama DOJ: Buzz Off ~ GOD Bless Florida!

Obama DOJ to Florida: Let The Dead Vote! …

On Friday, the Holder Justice Department ordered the State of Florida to halt its purge of dead, illegal and ineligible voters.

Townhall:

A simple way to help prevent voter fraud and election abuse is for states to purge voter rolls. What does this mean? Getting rid of names on voter rolls of people ineligible to vote such as illegal aliens, dead people, duplicates, etc. For nearly a year, Florida election officials have asked the Department of Homeland Security for access to the Immigration and Customs Enforcement database in order to take illegal aliens and non-citizens off Florida voter rolls. Not surprisingly, DHS has been dragging its feet and has yet to comply with the request and now, the Department of Justice is stepping into the purging process and ordering Florida, a vital swing state, to stop.

The Justice Department sent a letter to Florida Secretary of State Ken Detzner Thursday evening demanding the state cease purging its voting rolls because the process it is using has not been cleared under the Voting Rights Act, TPM has learned.

DOJ also said that Florida’s voter roll purge violated the National Voter Registration Act, which stipulates that voter roll maintenance should have ceased 90 days before an election, which given Florida’s August 14 primary, meant May 16.

Five of Florida’s counties are subject to the Voting Rights Act, but the state never sought permission from either the Justice Department or a federal court to implement its voter roll maintenance program.

Update: Florida to Obama DOJ: Buzz Off

Florida state officials responded to the request today. They will continue their quest to purge purportedly ineligible people from voter-registration rolls, a representative of Secretary of State Ken Detzner said Saturday.

Florida state officials will continue their quest to purge purportedly ineligible people from voter-registration rolls, a representative of Secretary of State Ken Detzner said Saturday, in defiance of objections from the U.S. Justice Department and county officials who say the policy violates two federal voting laws.

On Thursday, T. Christian Herren Jr., the head of the Justice Department’s voting section, said the effort to remove voters appears to violate the 1965 Voting Rights Act, which outlaws discriminatory voting practices that disenfranchise minorities. On a list of almost 2,700 voters the state suspects are noncitizens, blacks and Latinos were disproportionately represented, according to an analysis by the Miami Herald, which concluded Democratic and independent voters are the most likely to be targeted.

Despite the warning, Detzner’s representative said on Saturday the state intends to go forward with its campaign. “We have a year-round obligation to ensure the integrity of Florida’s elections. We will be responding to (the Justice Department’s) concerns next week,” Chris Cate wrote in an email to Reuters.

I am so glad Florida is sticking to what they need to do. Every election the democrats mess with and it makes it hard to win when they have dead people voting. sheesh

Romney Wins Texas and Clinches Republican Presidential Nomination ~ Congratulations!!!!

The former Massachusetts governor, the only candidate who actively campaigned in Texas, won 71 per cent of the vote, according to Fox News, CNN and NBC television.

US congressman from Texas Ron Paul won 10 per cent in his home state, Catholic conservative Rick Santorum seven per cent and former House Speaker Newt Gingrich five per cent, according to CNN.

In Texas 155 delegates were at stake -- which added to Romney's tally of 1,064 should take him well over the 1,144 nomination threshold.

Former GE CEO: Romney More Qualified to be President Than Someone Who Handed Out Leaflets as a Community Organizer

The Blaze

Former General Electric CEO Jack Welch appeared on CNN’s “Piers Morgan Tonight” to discuss the economy and the race between President Barack Obama and the presumed Republican presidential nominee, Mitt Romney.

Morgan challenged Romney’s claim that, by virtue of the fact that he worked in private equity, he created jobs.

“That’s not why any private equity company buys a company,” Morgan said, “They don’t buy it to create jobs. They buy it to turn it around and make a profit.”

“I agree with that,” Welch immediately.

“So is [Romney] wrong to say ‘it’s about job creation?’” Morgan asked.

Welch conceded that the former Massachusetts governor’s current “job creator” argument may not be the correct one, but he also pointed out that Romney is not wrong when he says private equity helps create good, durable, and well-paying jobs.

“You don’t create scads of jobs, but you do create good paying jobs in a continuing industry,” Welch said.

Morgan moved on and asked Welch whether he thinks the discussion over who’s more qualified to create jobs will be the thing that decides the election.

“If it is, Romney oughta’ wipe it out,” Welch said, “When you look at those things I gave you for the qualifications, compare it to someone who was handing out leaflets as a community organizer, the global experience of doing all this — Piers! It’s not even close!”

And in regards to who’s better suited to handle the economy, Morgan asked Welch if he could think of anything President Obama should be credited for.

“What do you give him credit for in terms of the economy?” Morgan asked.

Welch’s answer, though non-verbal, speaks volumes

Wild Thing's comment................

Romney may not be what many started off wanting as a candidate at the beginning of thiis election,, but one thing for sure he is vastly different then Obama.

Mitt Romney Event in Hillsborough, NH ~ full video impressive

Mitt Romney Event in Hillsborough, NH

Mitt Romney used a 19th-century stone bridge here today to anchor his attacks against President Barack Obama, calling the 2009 economic stimulus the “largest one-time careless expenditure of government money in America’s history.”

“We have behind us a Greek chorus. And I say that because they remind us that this president is leading us toward Greece, and one reason we need to get rid of [Obama] is to make sure we don’t continue [to] have the kind of deficits that lead to Greece,” Romney saod. “So I hope that they keep up with their Greek chorus over there. My guess is that when the president speaks at the Democratic convention in Charlotte this year, he will not have Greek columnsTHIS RIGHT? behind him because he won’t want to remind people of Greece.”

“This is the absolute bridge to nowhere if there ever was one,” Romney told supporters as he motioned to the stone bridge behind him. “That’s your stimulus dollars at work — a bridge that goes nowhere. And so I hope that the president comes here, and takes a look at some of the stimulus program, there’s a long list by the way.”
Known as Sawyer Bridge, the Granite State’s bridge isn’t the same “bridge to nowhere” that was repeatedly invoked during the 2008 presidential race as an example of government waste. That bridge was in Alaska.

“It is without question the largest one-time careless expenditure of government money in American history, and the bad news is it was not just wasteful spending,” Romney continued. “It is wasteful borrowing as well because we still are going to be paying on that debt for years and years and years.”

Disgusting Ron Paul-Nuts Boo Romney’s Son Josh Off Stage in AZ (Video)

Ron Paul-Nuts Boo Romney’s Son Josh Off Stage in AZ

AZ Central news

Supporters of Ron Paul booed the son of presidential hopeful Mitt Romney off the stage Saturday at the Arizona Republican Party convention as he sought to solidify support for his father’s nomination.

Hundreds of state GOP members were gathered at Grand Canyon University to elect delegates for the national convention in August in Tampa, which is expected to select Mitt Romney as the official Republican nominee to challenge President Barack Obama.

“We cannot afford four more years of President Obama,” said Josh Romney, the third of Mitt Romney’s five sons. “We need someone to step in there and turn things around.”

But Josh had to stop repeatedly as people booed and yelled for Paul, who has continued campaigning in the Republican primary. All other challengers, including Rick Santorum and Newt Gingrich, have dropped out of the race, and Romney has a commanding lead over Paul in the estimated delegate count.

Wild Thing's comment...........

This is so absolutely disgusting to me. You may not like Romney, you may not agree with him but for those of you that are for Ron Paul shame on you. Ron Paul is not going to be president and this kind of behavior and many other things from his followers show how horrible Ron Paul would be as President. Freaks every one of them.
Ron Paul wants to mess with the GOP convention as well, he encourages his followers to be radical and cause trouble, he has no shame and then he trys to act so innocent.

Don't just belittle the opposition. Search for the truth. We all need to pull together or watch the demise of a free democratic society.

It's your decision. I believe it does matter. How about you?

WHEN - November 2012 comes, it will matter who you vote for!

"When you see that in order to produce, you need to obtain permission from men who produce nothing; when you see that money is flowing to those who deal not in goods, but in favors; when you see that men get rich more easily by graft than by work, and your laws no longer protect you against them, but protect them against you… you may know that your society is doomed." … Ayn Rand

“Everybody knows that Speaker Gingrich is not going to get the nomination, probably,” Cain explained. “It would have to take an absolute long-shot mix-up of everything that would happen at the convention. I don’t know what’s going on in his head, so I can’t comment.”

Major Pro-Life Groups Endorse Mitt Romney: “Now is the Time to United behind Gov. Mitt Romney to Defeat the Most Ideologically Pro-Abortion President in our Nation’s History”

Mitt Romney received the endorsement this week of two of the nation’s major Pro-Life groups. They are calling on people to “unite behind Gov. Romney” in order to defeat the radically pro-abortion President, Barack Obama:

GOP presidential front-runner Mitt Romney got back-to-back endorsements from prominent pro-life groups Thursday, signaling that anti-abortion forces will overlook his previous pro-choice positions in their shared desire to defeat President Obama in the general election.

The Susan B. Anthony List threw its support behind Mr. Romney in a morning news release and National Right-to-Life, the nation’s oldest and largest pro-life organization, followed suit with a news conference at the National Press Club in Washington.

“Now is the time to unite behind Gov. Romney in order to defeat the most ideologically pro-abortion president in our nation’s history,” said Marjorie Dannenfelser, president of the Susan B. Anthony List. She added that her group plans to spend $10 million to $12 million in Senate and presidential battleground states “mobilizing pro-life voters to ensure victory.”

The group had endorsed Rick Santorum’s president bid in February, but the former Pennsylvania senator dropped out of the race this week, prompting the group to swing its support behind Mr. Romney, who says he has moved from pro-choice to pro-life over the course of his political career.

Wild Thing's comment..........

As it states these are the same groups that had endorsed Santorum earlier.

Santorum Drops Out As He Should and Egomaniac Newt Gingrich Stays In

“Ladies and gentleman, we made the decision to get into this race at our kitchen table against all the odds. We made a decision over the weekend that while this presidental race for us is over for me and we will suspend our campaign effective today. We are not done fighting.”

Santorum did not endorse Mitt Romney, and never mentioned him by name.

Newt Gingrich Issues Statement on Santorum’s Departure, Tells Mike Huckabee He’ll ‘Finally Get to Be 1-on-1 With Romney’

Former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich was just on the Mike Huckabee Radio show, and commented on Santorum suspending his own presidential campaign just moments ago. On the show, Gingrich discussed finally getting to be ’1-on-1′ with Romney, how he will campaign going forward, and a possible debate in North Carolina with the current front-runner.

Newt Calls on Santorum Supporters to Join His Campaign

“I am committed to staying in this race all the way to Tampa so that the conservative movement has a real choice. I humbly ask Senator Santorum’s supporters to visit Newt.org to review my conservative record and join us as we bring these values to Tampa. We know well that only a conservative can protect life, defend the Constitution, restore jobs and growth and return to a balanced budget."

Wild Thing's comment........

Santorumdid not mention Romney at all. But he did do something or say something that showed his problem with the truth. Santorum while making his speech said he had never been negative during the campaign. And yet he has been the most negative of all the candidates from the very beginning. His attacks on Rick Perry, and Romney were over the top and he lied about both of them. But if that is what Rick Santorum wants to believe that he is some mr. nice guy I could care less. He is his own worst enemy since he would rather lie then just say they all fought hard or something like that. sheesh.

Newt Gingrich LOL I am sorry but this guy is a joke imo. He has been at the bottom even sometimes below Ron Paul in the votes and polls. Newt's ego is so huge he has lost reality. He is determined to go to the convention no matter what. If I were Romney I would ignore Newt and just keep moving forward with ads about Obama and the heck with egomaniac Newt. Newt is NOT about America, Newt is about Newt.

Mitt Romney Wins Wisconsin, Maryland and D.C. Primaries ~ CONGRATULATIONS!

Visit msnbc.com for breaking news, world news, and news about the economy

Romney’s speech contrasted his desire to “restore America” as opposed to Barack Obama’s effort to radically “transform America.” Romney said what America needs is an “opportunity” society, not Obama’s “Government-centered society.”

Romney: “President Obama thinks he's doing a good job, I'm not kidding. He actually thinks he's doing a great job.

"It's enough to make you think that years of flying around on Air Force One, surrounded by an adoring staff of true believers telling you what a great job you are doing, well, that might be enough to make you a little out of touch"

Wild Thing's comment.........

If you get a chance to watch the entire speech he gave it is excellent!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am so glad he won all of them. We need this thing to get to the point where our candidate can concentrate on Obama and that is what Mitt is doing.

"Romney said what America needs is an “opportunity” society, not Obama’s “Government-centered society.” ....I like this.

Gingrich Begins Charging $50 for Photos at Events ~ Oh my Gosh!

Gingrich Begins Charging $50 for Photos at Events

National Journal

HOCKESSIN, Del. – In a sign that his campaign is in need of fresh funds, Newt Gingrich on Monday began charging $50 to have a photograph taken with him following a campaign speech to Republican groups here in the northernmost part of the state.

It was the first time that the former House speaker has charged those attending one of his public speaking events to pose for a photograph with him. Lately, a member of his campaign staff has been snapping photos of any interested attendee and later posting them online at the campaign’s website, newt.org.

On Monday night, those paying for a photograph were also told they could find their photos on Gingrich’s website, after they had filled out a form providing their credit card information.

The campaign limped out of the month of February posting more debt than cash on hand. And poor showings in the recent primaries of Louisiana, Mississippi, and Alabama – all southern states Gingrich had once expressed optimism he could win – are likely to not help any fundraising pushes.

Gingrich held only one public event on Monday – in Hockessin, located in a state that votes on Apr. 24. He was scheduled to travel to North Carolina on Wednesday, but that trip was cancelled today in favor of campaigning in the Washington D.C. area. The speaker will spend his next two days there and in Maryland before heading to Wisconsin at the end of the week.

NOT Presidential Santorum Curses on Rope Line in Wisconsin

Rick Santorum got testy with reporters following a campaign speech Franksville, Wis. in which he said GOP rival Mitt Romney would be "the worst Republican in the country to put up against Barack Obama."

Surrounded by reporters seeking clarification on that comment after the speech, Santorum said he was only talking about the issue of health care.

"That’s what I was talking about, and I was very clear about talking about that. OK? C’mon guys, don’t do this. I mean you guys are incredible," Santorum said.

"I was talking about Obamacare, and he is the worst because he was the author of Romneycare,” he added.

But questions on the "worst Republican" statement kept coming as the senator worked the rope line, and Santorum eventually let loose with an expletive.

"Quit distorting our words, it's bulls---," Santorum told New York Times reporter Jeff Zeleny. "Come on man, what are you doing?"

Wild Thing's comment......

Sorry everyone but there is nothing about Santorum that is Presidential. I am not a prude, heck I am married to a Navy Veteran. heh heh But Nick is not running for President and Santorum is and can you imagine Ronald Reagan responding like Santorum has done....no way. Of course Reagan would not have said the stupid comment Santorum said in the first place about voting for Obama.

Sen. Jim DeMint calls for GOP assessment of race, praises Mitt Romney!!!!

Sen. Jim DeMint calls for GOP assessment of race, praises Romney!!!!

ABC News' Michael Falcone reports:

"I can tell conservatives from my perspective is that, I'm not only comfortable with Romney, I'm excited about the possibility of him possibly being our nominee," DeMint said. "Again, this is not a formal endorsement and I do not intend to do that right now but I just think we just need to look at where we are."

DeMint said Thursday he was "impressed" after his meeting with Romney.

"His leadership skills, the fact that he hasn't lived his life in Washington. There's a lot to like there," DeMint said.

The other candidates in the race – including former House Speaker Newt Gingrich and former Pennsylvania Sen. Rick Santorum – need to make an honest assessment of where the race currently stands, DeMint said.

Rick Santorum prefers Barack Obama to Mitt Romney

Here is video of Rick Santorum today speaking in San Antonio, Texas

In Texas yesterday, Santorum suggested he’d reelect President Obama over Romney. "If you’re going to be a little different, we might as well stay with what we have instead of taking a risk with what may be the Etch-a-sketch candidate of the future,” he said.

Romney responded in a statement, “I was disappointed to hear that Rick Santorum would rather have Barack Obama as president than a Republican. ... Any of the Republicans running would be better than President Obama and his record of failure.”

Wild Thing's comment.........

That was great from Sen. DeMint, he did not endorse Romney but he did pay him high compliments as to how he feels about him.

Regarding Santorum he has lost his senses. His jealousy or whatever it is toward Romney has become an obsession it seems. Either that or he hates him more then he hates or dislikes Obama. I can't imagine anyone saying they would vote for Obama when we have a chance to get him out of office.

Plus Santorum is supposed to be a candidate in the Republican party, my gosh!!!

Santorum Compared Welfare Programs To the Tuskegee Medical Experiments ~ OMG Santorum is DISGUSTING!

Rick Santorum Was Warned That 2005 Book Could Become Fodder For Political Attacks

Rick Santorum was warned more than a year before his decisive 2006 Senate re-election defeat that the controversial book he was writing would provide his opponents with damaging ammunition to use against him.

A review of the manuscript of Santorum's book, "It Takes A Family: Conservatism and the Common Good," conducted by political operatives several months before it was published found what the reviewers called "a fair amount of political opportunities," for Santorum's rivals.

The operatives identified nearly 30 "problematic excerpts" and suggested that some of them "might want to be edited or removed from the book."

One of those passages identified in the three-page memo written in 2005, a copy of which was obtained by ABC News, compared welfare programs to the Tuskegee medical experiments that began in the 1930s.

"The Tuskegee experiments denying black men treatment for syphilis were wrong and horrific, an example of the government using its power for evil," Santorum wrote. "But in terms of the sheer numbers of people, of all races, whose lives were destroyed, pre-1996 welfare was worse."

According to the memo, those lines appeared in a pre-publication manuscript of "It Takes A Family," but were removed from the final version, which first hit store shelves on July 4, 2005.

In the book, Santorum called the enactment of welfare programs before the 1996 reforms, "the greatest social policy debacle in American history."

John Brabender, who advised Santorum on his 2006 Senate race and is a strategist for his presidential campaign, did not deny the existence of the vetting document, but emphasized that "the only thing that is based on fact is the actual book, itself."

"Everybody who was only focused on winning the political campaign were giving us much advice on moving to the middle and moderating our message, but that's not something Rick Santorum would do," Brabender said in an interview with ABC News. "On the other hand, I'm sure Mitt Romney probably would have taken advice to move to the middle if he thought there was political gain because Romney seems to focus on the next election rather than what's right for America."

Santorum went on to lose his Senate race to then Pennsylvania State Treasurer Bob Casey that year by a more than 17-point margin. And the Democrats did use some of the more controversial ideas in the book to attack Santorum. On the campaign trail Casey criticized what he called his opponent's "harsh and intolerant" writings.

Since he launched his 2012 presidential bid, Santorum's 449-page book, which includes chapters on "The Meaning of Family," "Faith-Based Transformations," and "Culture: Ally or Adversary?" has been getting a second-look from newfound opponents in his own party and from the press.

Santorum's comments in the book about women in the workplace have drawn particular scrutiny.

"Sadly the propaganda campaign launched in the 1960s has taken root," Santorum wrote on page 95. "The radical feminists succeeded in undermining the traditional family and convincing women that professional accomplishments are the key to happiness."

In a February interview on ABC's "This Week" Santorum said that his wife, Karen, had actually co-written the chapter. "What I was calling for -very clearly calling for - is a treatment of, an affirmation of whatever decision women decide to make," Santorum said in the interview.

Whether or not his wife wrote it, the passage was one of the excerpts the operatives who scoured the book for potential areas of controversy, pinpointed.

"Sen. Santorum's opponents will probably focus on what they see as its divisive undertones," the reviewers wrote in the memo, which sources familiar with its writing said was given to Santorum and his aides before the book was published. "Sen. Santorum takes on long standing elements of the Democrat base and his opponents could use this book to rally their base."

The reviewers also highlighted an excerpt in which the former Pennsylvania senator compares pro-choice Americans to Nazi Germany - a passage that made the cut.

"One of the first phases of the (Nazi) German negative eugenics movement was active euthanasia of newborns and young children with congenital malformations and mental retardation," he wrote. "Prenatal diagnosis and selective abortion of fetuses with malformations or genetic disease can be considered an earlier phase of the same philosophy - namely, the elimination of lives not worth living."

In another case, it appears that Santorum tweaked a line in which he addresses economic differences between black and white Americans.

According to the memo, the original manuscript read: "Yes, there remains a very troubling economic disparity. But for the most part, this is not due to the continuing reality of discrimination."

However, the published book reads: "Still, there remains a very troubling economic disparity between whites and blacks. And this is really the result of a missing economic fundamental: business building and wealth creation."

But much of the book's content, including many of the passages indentified by those tasked with vetting it seven years ago, have become standard Santorum talking points - like this one:

"The truth is that liberal social policy has helped to dismantle the traditional family and failed the poor individuals they aimed to liberate," he wrote in the book's second chapter titled "The Liberal Vision: No-Fault Freedom."

It appears that in the vast majority of cases, Santorum did not take the reviewers' advice to tone-down the rhetoric, nor did he heed another warning.

"It is critical that this book not include an index," the operatives noted. "An index is an easy tool for lazier political operatives and reporters to use to dig up more controversial topics in this book."

The 2005 hard-cover printing of "It Takes A Family," includes a 13-page index.

Wild Thing's comment......

For Santorum to compare the Tuskegee medical experiments with welfare in anyway is disgusting. So what if they took it out of the book, the fact that he wrote it and feels that way is what matters.

Mitt Romney Gets the Endorsements of Congressman Aaron Schock and Missouri Senator Roy Blunt

Illinois Congressman Aaron Schock made the following statement on the upcoming Illinois primary:

“Last night, Republican voters across the country sent a strong message that Mitt Romney is the only candidate who can unite our party and defeat Barack Obama in the fall. Governor Romney has a bold plan to reform our tax code, streamline the federal government, and put this country back on a path to prosperity."

"Perhaps more importantly, he has the record and the experience to back it up. Four years ago, Barack Obama launched his bid for the Presidency from Illinois. After a first term fraught with chronic unemployment, record deficits, and a skyrocketing federal budget, it’s time to unite behind Mitt Romney and bring Barack Obama back home in November.”

Senator Roy Blunt Endorses Romney

Source

Blunt says Romney best prepared to put America on path to economic prosperity

“As we saw during last night’s primaries, Mitt Romney's plan to help put people back to work and rein in out-of-control spending is resonating with voters nationwide. Thanks to his experience as governor and in the private sector, Mitt Romney is clearly the best prepared candidate to help put America back on a path to economic prosperity.

“In a few weeks, Missourians will make their choice during our state caucuses. I’m proud to support Governor Romney's bold agenda to jumpstart our nation's economy, and I urge my fellow Missourians who are looking for a fiscally responsible leader to support his candidacy for president.”

Ron Paul: No Federal Financial Aid for Tornado Victims

Rep. Ron Paul, R-Texas, stood by his libertarian beliefs on Sunday, saying that victims of the violent storms and tornadoes that have battered a band of states in the South and Midwest in recent days should not be given emergency financial aid from the federal government.

"There is no such thing as federal money," Paul said, on CNN’s State of the Union. "Federal money is just what they steal from the states and steal from you and me."

"The people who live in tornado alley, just as I live in hurricane alley, they should have insurance," Paul said.

Paul said there was a role for the National Guard to restore order and provide care and shelter in major emergencies, but that the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) led to nothing but "frustration and anger."

"To say that any accident that happens in the country, send in FEMA, send in the money, the government has all this money—it is totally out of control and it's not efficient," Paul said

Wild Thing's comment.....

What a horrible person. He has no sympathy for people that have gone through a natural disaster. WOW!
It is not like these people did this to themselves. And just to use their insurance will not be enough to recover. Entire towns were destroyed and many lives.

Sen. Tom Coburn Endorses Mitt Romney ~ Another Conservative For Mitt

Sen. Tom Coburn Endorses Mitt Romney!

Sen. Tom Coburn: Mitt Romney best equipped to solve problems facing our nation.

BY SEN. TOM COBURN

America faces the greatest challenges of any in my lifetime. Our debt is now the size of our entire economy. If we don't change course in the near future, we will face an economic catastrophe far worse than our recent recession.

At the same time, we're facing a crisis of leadership in Washington. The problems and solutions are widely understood — and far from impossible to implement — yet our so-called leaders have shown little interest in solving problems. President Obama campaigned as a transformational leader, yet he has rejected transformational solutions such as the Simpson-Bowles plan that gave Washington a framework for averting a debt crisis.

Elections are about choices. This November, the most important choice facing the American people will be whether we will demand a solution and avert a debt crisis or whether we will continue to accept the status quo and hope for the best. I'm confident the vast majority of Americans on both sides of the aisle want a solution. The next choice, then, is deciding who is best qualified to enact a solution.

In life, and especially politics, our choices are seldom perfect and often difficult. But it is critically important to make a choice and support the person who is best equipped to solve the urgent problems before us. In my view, that person is Mitt Romney.

From my experience, Washington tends to be divided between two groups — leaders and career politicians. Leaders tend to have a wealth of real-world experience outside of politics and are in office to give rather than take something from their position. Career politicians, on the other hand, mean well but are ill-equipped to solve problems. Their greatest skill is getting re-elected.

I'm proud to support Romney because he is a leader. What Romney has done in his 25 years in the private sector is precisely what we need a president to do in Washington. Romney has done hard things. He has turned businesses around, told people hard truths about what needed to be done, inspired confidence and overcome excuses. Romney is not a career politician or a career legislator. As a former governor and business leader, he is an executive who knows how to use executive power.

My endorsement is in no way an instruction on how Oklahomans should vote. Yet having served with the other candidates, I do know something about the field. Each candidate has admirable qualities. However, on too many occasions I have seen each behave like career politicians rather than leaders. The most important test for anyone in public life is what they do with power. Too often, the other candidates displayed political expediency rather than moral courage and rationalized poor decisions that put Republicans ahead of the republic.

Just last week, Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke said we are about to go over a massive fiscal cliff. We can't afford to elect a career politician at this decisive moment in our history. We need to elect a leader. I'm confident that leader is Mitt Romney.

Wild Thing's comment.........

Sen. Coburn's a good man and a tuff fiscal conservative . Many of you will remember the video that many of us posted before of Sen. Coburn saying:

“There’s a lot of candidates out there. I’m not inclined to be a supporter of Newt Gingrich’s having served under him for four years and personally experienced his leadership, There’s all types of leaders. Leaders that instill confidence, leaders that are somewhat abrupt and brisk. Leaders that have one standard for the people that they’re leading and a different standard for themselves. I just found his leadership lacking,” Coburn said.

Beautiful Ann Romney Wife of GOP Presidential Candidate Mitt Romney on Fox & Friends This Morning

Ann Romney – wife of GOP Presidential Candidate Mitt Romney – on Fox & Friends this morning, where she hit back at former President Bill Clinton, who recently said Mitt Romney’s Dad would be “turning over in his grave” because he opposed the bailouts of the auto companies.

Ann Romney said, “Oh no. Mitt’s father would be cheering – would be with Mitt 100%. . . So no, Mitt’s father would be cheering, cheering with Mitt.”

Ann Romney is a great asset to Mitt Romney’s Campaign – maybe his best asset! They need to keep her in front of the cameras as much as possible.

Mitt Romney, like the other presidential candidates, opposed the bailout, even penning a 2008 op-ed titled "Let Detroit Go Bankrupt." Romney has explained that letting the auto companies go bankrupt wouldn't mean liquidating them, "but allowing them to go to the bankruptcy court to reorganize and come out stronger. That's what happened."

Romney says he would have given banks federal loan guarantees so they could loan Detroit the necessary money, instead of having the government offer the loan directly. But the financial crisis created an environment in 2008 in which banks were reticent to give huge loans to the auto companies, and the White House insists the private capital wasn't there to save the companies.

Please take a minute and watch this short video by Neil Cavuto about Ann Romney.

Wild Thing's comment..........

I like her a lot, she speaks well, is pretty, smart, and has a lot of class. I also agree with what Mitt has said about the auto bailout. It is one thing to help out a company and another to just hand them a ton of money ( our tax dollars) and take the chance of them not making big changes that got them into trouble in the first place.

I lilke Neil Cavuto. It was good to see Neil Cavuto speak about Ann Romney. They are both inspiring examples of ongoing courage through their chronic health issues.

Mitt Romney Wins Michigan and AZ. ~ Congratulations!!

by Jennifer Rubin at The Washington Post

Mitt Romney was as relaxed and loose in his victory speech as we have seen him since New Hampshire. He had dodged a bullet in his home state (he conceded that he had not won by a lot) and steadied his campaign in time for Super Tuesday.

Romney went after the president’s record and the anemic recovery. “We need a recovery from this so-called recovery,” he cracked, reminding the crowd that President Obama had two years with a Democratic majority in Congress to enact any policies he wanted.

In ticking of the contrasts with the president on everything from Obamacare to taxes, Romney used the time to focus the race on the economy. He marched through his own fiscal and tax agenda, and in some detail. In doing so, he was plainly seeking to connect with Republicans around the country with the fiscal conservative message that helped him win in Michigan.

He also won by 38 to 31 percent over Rick Santorum voters who made up their minds today, suggesting there may have been a backlash against Santorum’s robocalls to Democrats. Moreover, Santorum went to Ohio while Romney stayed and battled for the final votes in Michigan.

As for other demographic groups, Santorum lost Catholic voters, perhaps offended by his remark that JFK’s 1960 speech made him “throw up.” Santorum lost male voters by one point and women by five, suggesting the gender gap is still an issue for him.

Although Romney lost the very conservative vote, he won the somewhat conservative vote handily.

Wild Thing's comment.......

I am so glad Santorum did not win. During ithe afternoon yesterday they were showing a lot of democrats that had voted for Santorum and each one said they did it because they can Santorum to win and then they will vote in the General for their guy......OBAMA. They all said basically the same thing, they want Obama to win another term.

Desperate Santorum Robocall Urges Democrats to Come Out & Vote Against Romney ~ DISGUSTING!

Santorum Robocall Urges Democrats to Come Out & Vote Against Romney

LANSING, MI — Rick Santorum’s campaign is locked in a tight battle with Mitt Romney ahead of Tuesday’s Michigan primary. On Monday his camp started openly courting a demographic that’s not often reached out to in GOP primaries: Democrats.

Michigan’s primary rules allow Dems to vote in the state’s GOP primaries.

Following some speculation that the robocall may have been a “false flag” effort designed to harm Santorum, a spokesman Hogan Gidley confirmed to TPM that they were indeed footing the bill, and reaching beyond party lines. “If we can get the Reagan Democrats in the primary, we can get them in the general,” he told TPM.

It’s a controversial tactic. Bill Ballenger, a longtime Michigan politico and the editor of Inside Michigan Politics, spoke with TPM about the call earlier in the day. He said the call piqued his interest because it sounded like it could have come from a union targeting Romney ahead of the Feb. 28 primary. The call focuses on Romney’s opposition to the auto bailout and calls on Democrats to vote for Santorum Tuesday because of it.

“It went on and on like this and I kept listening because I kind of smelled a rat,” Ballenger said. “And finally at the very end, in a tagline it says, ‘this call was paid for by the Santorum for president committee.’”

I asked Ballenger, who’s followed many elections in Michigan, if the Santorum call classifies as playing dirty.

“This is a dirty trick,” he said. “I mean, first of all you know how these robocalls are. You get one, generally speaking, you kind of after the first couple of sentences you know what they’re after. If you don’t hang up right away you get the message, right? Well, most people don’t listen all the way through [and] you have to listen to the bitter end of this one to get the clincher. Otherwise, you’d hang up and you’d be convinced this came out of UAW Solidarity House or the Obama reelection campaign.”

What’s more, Ballenger said, the messenger delivering an attack on Romney for opposing the auto bailout is a little disingenuous.

“You talk about chutzpah: here’s Santorum who’s just as opposed to the bailout as Romney is, but he’s putting out robocalls to Democrats urging them to crossover and vote in the Republican for Santorum,” Ballenger said. “The only thing intellectually in the whole message that it seems to be the Santorum committee could use to justify this tactic is the one line that, you know, ‘Romney was all too happy to support bailing out Wall Street, but not Michigan.’ Santorum is in the position all along of ‘a plague on both their houses. No bailouts for anybody.’”

Wild Thing's comment......

Santorum truly is a disgusting person. Santorum is nothing but a hypocritical self-righteous moralist.

Governor Jan Brewer Endorses Mitt Romney ~ Thank You Gov. Brewer!!

Visit msnbc.com for breaking news, world news, and news about the economy

Two days before her state's primary, Gov. Jan Brewer of Arizona on Sunday endorsed Mitt Romney for the Republican presidential nomination.

"I'm going to publicly endorse Mitt Romney. I think he's the man that carried the day," Brewer said on the NBC program "Meet the Press."

The endorsement is considered a boost for Romney in Arizona, a conservative state where he is favored in Tuesday's primary against rivals Rick Santorum, Newt Gingrich and Ron Paul.

"I think he has that pro-business background and he has that political history that I think he would serve America the best of all the candidates," Brewer said, adding that Romney also has the best chance of defeating President Barack Obama in November.

Wild Thing's comment.........

Well I am glad! Of all the candidates left the ONLY one I could vote for and not be sick to my stomach is Romney. The next lesser sick feeling would be Newt and I rate Santorum and Ron Paul on the same level of over the top sickening and dangerous.

Of course Rick Perry is and always will be my first choice....deep sigh. One day I hope he runs again. He is the one true rock solid conservative that was in the presidential race.

Gingrich Campaign Warned 2nd Time for Financial Dealings

The Washington Times

Newt Gingrich’s presidential campaign has received a second warning from the Federal Election Commission (FEC) for widespread financial irregularities, saying the campaign must disclose why nearly $1 million was paid to the candidate, staff and a small group of fundraising consultants for questionable reimbursements.
But hours after the FEC letter on its 2011 finances became public, the campaign filed a report for a newer time period, January, that indicated that the problems have become far worse.

The campaign transferred Mr. Gingrich $88,000 last month for unspecified “travel” expenses, a pace far higher than he paid himself over the course of 2011, a federal report filed Monday showed. It was part of $220,000 in mystery money that month that went to people close to Mr. Gingrich on top of their salaries, raising the issue of potential self-dealing.

The FEC warning letter was issued the day The Washington Times documented the suspect reimbursements.

Gingrich spokesman R.C. Hammond had told The Times that the payments were a result of Mr. Gingrich footing bills early in the campaign and getting reimbursed because no bank would give the campaign a credit card. He had said the campaign was finally able to obtain a credit card late last year, so there would be no reason for the pattern to continue in 2012.

The January payments came in two checks over four days at the end of the month. He would not explain the discrepancy this week.

The FEC’s objections are not to the idea of a candidate and staff fronting costs and getting reimbursed, but because the technique has caused a huge segment of the campaign’s expenditures to become a black box. Rule books say every restaurant, vendor, hotel or other company that receives more than $200 in donated funds must be disclosed, even if a billing conduit is used.

A separate disclosure Monday showed that Becky Burkett, a former top official of a nonprofit Mr. Gingrich headed who now runs a pro-Gingrich super PAC called Winning Our Future, paid herself $220,000 in donated money last month — making more in 20 days than any other super PAC official has made in total since the groups exploded onto the scene, a review by The Times showed.

Santorum Loses

by Rich Lowry at National Review

Rick Santorum’s night was defined by explaining why he voted for things he opposed (NCLB, Title X). He’s right that politics is a “team sport” (at least most of the time), but that’s not the best posture to be defending when you’re occupying his slot in a Republican presidential primary. He didn’t know when to let go on the earmark discussion, which he couldn’t possibly win. He gave the best possible defense of his Specter endorsement, but as Romney said it was convoluted. Again and again Santorum got tangled up in his Senate record. Overall, he was too defensive, too insider, too complicated.

Romney came loaded to bear with oppo and was deft enough to use it effectively, catching Santorum, for instance, apparently having it both ways on Title X.

Wild Thing's comment........

imo Romney was the best in the debate last night. Santorum while others spoke would make a lot of weird faces. He behaved like a spoiled child when confronted. Newty had some funny lines and so did Ron Paul.

There was almost a feeling of relilef from all of them that this debate would be the last one for awhile. I can imagine they are all sick of the debates. I sure would be. hahaha

Tax Foundation Rips Santorum Tax Plan Grade: D+

Tax Foundation Rips Santorum Tax Plan

Report: Santorum’s Fiscal Record Not in Line With Tea Party

An antitax advocacy group zinged Republican presidential candidate Rick Santorum’s tax plan, giving him a grade of “D+” grade and the dubious honor of proposing what “may be the worst idea of any of the Republican candidates.”

The Tax Foundation, a Washington nonprofit that supports lower taxes, blasted Mr. Santorum’s tax proposal in a blog post, just days after the former Pennsylvania senator’s near-victory in the Iowa caucuses.

”The good news is Santorum has gotten more specific about his tax plan since last month when we gave him a D+,” economist William McBride wrote on Thursday. “The bad news is… he’s gotten more specific.”

Mr. McBride said the biggest problem with Mr. Santorum’s proposal is the sharply different corporate tax rates he would establish. Mr. Santorum would halve the corporate tax rate to 17.5% from its current top rate of 35%. Manufacturers, however, would not have to pay any corporate taxes.

Mr. McBride said the idea is “grossly unfair,” and unlikely to gain traction in Washington. If it did, he said, many businesses would “suddenly claim to be a manufacturer.”

The Santorum campaign did not return requests for comment.

The tax group also took aim at Santorum’s suggestion to triple the tax deduction families can take for each child. “This is obviously a big tax cut, and might spur growth, or it might just spur child making,” Mr. McBride wrote. The Tax Foundation echoed concerns expressed earlier this week by the nonpartisan Tax Policy Center that tripling the child tax deduction could push more low-income families off the tax rolls.

While the Santorum campaign has filled in some of the details in recent weeks, big ones remain missing, Mr. McBride wrote. The plan would collapse the current six rates to just two — 10% and 28% — but it doesn’t specify who would pay those rates, he said, adding: ”That’s kind of important.”

Wild Thing's comment.........

This Santorum guy really turns my stomach. The 0 percent for manufacturers is most likely Rick’s way of paying back his union buddies, who will just support the libs anyway. It’s also playing favorites. It’s funny that I heard him call this a “flat tax”, even though it’s 17 percent and 0 percent, two different tax rates. I don’t understand why he doesn’t call for eradicating the Capital Gains Tax. Makes no sense to me at all.

And every tax deduction that favors one person is using government force to take those same tax dollars from somebody else. People should only have children if they can afford them on their own — not by forcing their childless neighbors to carry their tax burden. Santorum has a lot of kids so of course he wants this.

Rick Perry's plan was the best and it received A's and A+ on every write up I read about it.

Excellent Mitt Romney Ad About Obama on the 3 Year Anniversary of the Economic Stimulus (Video)

ROMNEY: President Obama spent $787 billion on his failed stimulus. But instead of seeing an improved economy, we have only seen trillions in deficits and an explosion in the federal debt

Wild Thing's comment.........

While Santorum is busy running ads filled with jealousy about Romney;'s wealth, Mitt Romney is putting out this excellent ad about Obama. I wish Romney would do more of these kinds of ads. I am terrifired people will not feel the urgency of getting Obama out of office.

Report: Santorum’s Fiscal Record Not in Line With Tea Party

Rick Perry's points out that Senator Rick Santorum as a Pennsylvania Senator was a "Big Washington Spender" voting for "Ear Marks" . He voted for the Bridge to Nowhere TWO TIMES and repeatedly voted to protect unions.

Rick Santorum, who has emerged recently as an enduring conservative alternative to frontrunner Mitt Romney, is starting to feel the heat for his record. To start with, an op ed in the Miami Herald takes Santorum to task for multiple violations of Tea Party orthodoxy on fiscal issues:

Supporters of the tea party movement, the grass-roots conservatives who’ve been relentless in demanding tough, lean budgets, are rallying behind Republican presidential candidate Rick Santorum – but Santorum‘s record suggests he’s hardly one of them. [...]

Yet while Santorum was a U.S. senator from Pennsylvania from 1995 to 2007, he was hardly the kind of die-hard fiscal conservative whom movement followers crave.

Among other things, the article accuses Santorum of getting close to $1 billion in earmarks, while voting for similarly wasteful projects like the infamous Bridge to Nowhere. It also points out his vote for the Prescription Drug Benefit as an example of his willingness to spend, and shares the reservations of leaders from several of the major fiscally conservative organizations, such as the National Taxpayers’ Union and the Club for Growth.

Santorum’s record on earmarks and spending, according to these sources, isn’t liberal enough to raise too many alarm bells, but is a long way from the sort of “no new spending” principled conservatism of a Jim DeMint or a Rand Paul. The article also claims that political expediency has been a deciding factor in more than a few cases where Santorum’s voting record is concerned, though he has a consistent record in favor of tax cuts.

Wild Thing's comment......

Santorum has been a big spender of our tax dollars and it will be up to the people to decide how much they care about that. So far what I have seen from the tea party movement and what they said they wanted and what they came through in supporting has been two different things. Perry had it all and my guess is there are a lot of tea party people that wish now they had thrown their support to Rick Perry.

One thing for sure this is the craziest election.

Actress Raquel Welch About the GOP Race

Lincoln Center will be hosting a tribute honoring actress Raquel Welch and her films. Neil Cavuto sat down with the actress who claims she’s, “not very scandalous,” despite being a major sex symbol.

Welch admitted that it wasn’t always easy to be taken seriously when it came to voicing her political views. Instead she says she would rather take action, recalling going to Vietnam with Bob Hope to visit the troops.

On the number of GOP debates, she feels like it allows people to get to know the candidates better. As far as the “mud-slinging” between candidates, “There comes a point where it does cross the line, but I honestly also think that we are educated by this process.”

Without mentioning a particular president, Welch continued, “I think too many times a total stranger without any background or anything that we can really hang our hat on comes along with charm, and a silver tongued devil thing and seems very self possessed. And it’s almost like he should be you know a talk show host or a movie star.”

Wild Thing's comment.......

Raquel is great, I thought you might like to see and hear what she had to say on her appearance with Neil Cavuto.

She is a republican and I am not sure but I think she always has been.

Classless Newt Gingrich Would Not Congratulate Romney Win and NOW WILL NOT Congratulate Santorum On His Win Tuesday

Newt Gingrich, mum on losses, looking South

Billionaire Sheldon Adelson, Who Is Backing Gingrich Relays Assurances To Romney Camp That He Will Support The Governor Should He Become the Nominee

CLEVELAND, Ohio—Newt Gingrich, speaking to workers Wednesday morning at a manufacturing plant here had exactly nothing to say about Tuesday night’s contests.

Republican presidential candidate, former House speaker Newt Gingrich. He didn’t say a word about the how and why of his losses, nor did he mention his rivals.

He didn’t refer to Mitt Romney as a “Massachusetts moderate.” Nor did he cast Rick Santorum as a sort of junior member of Congress, who couldn’t do big things.

In his 12-minute speech at Jergen, a metal plant, it was as if Tuesday never happened.

Gingrch lost badly in three contests, ceding the conversation, energy and the momentum to Santorum who pulled off an upset in Colorado, and won handily in Missouri and Minnesota.

During his two-day bus tour, Gingrich, who pledged to run a more ideas-based campaign, gave his standard speech, weaving together the history of the Wright Brothers, Ronald Reagan, and the raft of executive orders he would sign on day one of his administration

Wild Thing's comment......

Totally classless Newt Gingrich refuses to even congratulate Santorum. Newt would not congratulate Romney either and now Santorum apparently joins Newts hate list....hmmmm shades of Obama.... no class and has a hate list.

So this is what Newt thinks a leader should behave? Shame on him!

Romney Congratulates Santorum, Focuses on Obama

Republican Presidential candidate Mitt Romney congratulated rival Rick Santorum after Santorum's wins in Missouri and Minnesota. Romney, speaking in Denver, kept his focus on President Obama.

Rick Santorum wins in Minnesota, Missouri and Colorado

Last night's delegate-free contests:

Source

"......Republican contests in Minnesota, Colorado and Missouri deserve an asterisk. In Minnesota and Colorado, which will hold caucuses, voters will pick their preferred presidential candidate in a nonbind...ing straw poll, while picking delegates to county and regional conventions in a separate vote. In Missouri, no delegates are on the line at all; the state will hold a separate caucus for that purpose on March 17."

People Stunned By Newt Gingrich's Post-Nevada Speech Last Saturday: ‘This Is What Flailing Looks Like’

Fox News Channel analysts seemed stunned by Newt Gingrich’s post-Nevada speech Saturday, calling it everything from “not pretty” to a “very strange event.”

“For a political analyst I think this will be remembered as one of the most remarkable moments of the entire 2012 election,” The Hill’s A.B. Stoddard said. “He came out and wandered into the minutiae about petty complaints…he was in the weeds. It was a very, very strange event.”

Charles Krauthammer said Gingrich’s speech represented “the best of Newt and the worst of Newt” — describing what he called President Barack Obama’s attack on religious institutions and defending freedom in the country was good, but his attacks on rival Mitt Romney, who won the state handily, were “astonishing.”

Bill Kristol of the Weekly Standard was perplexed by Gingrich’s reference to Nevada as a “heavily Mormon state,“ calling it ”an odd statement” for him to make, and said he was “being a political analyst, not the candidate.”

“This is what flailing looks like,” Weekly Standard writer Stephen Hayes summed up. “This was not a pretty performance I think by Newt Gingrich….He makes these arguments that undermine the rationale for his own campaign. He says ‘well, Mitt Romney was dishonest on the stage next to me.‘ What does he think Barack Obama’s going to be? ‘I was outspent.‘ What does he think Barack Obama’s going to do?”

Wild Thing's comment......

I agree with everything they said about his speech. It was also embarassing as a conservative to hear his whine and also his lies.

Retired Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O’Connor attended the annual elite Alfalfa Club dinner in Washington last Saturday. Reporters weren’t allowed into the event, but according to the Washington Post, she was overheard commenting on the two front-runners of the Republican presidential primary.

“One is a practicing polygamist, and he’s not even the Mormon,” she said.

STING. to Newt Gingrich

I’ll remind you that Newt Gingrich has had three wives and been accused by one of wanting an open marriage. Mitt Romney, on the other hand, is a Mormon and has only had one wife whom he’s still married to.

Romney Wins Nevada Causus, Santorum Says He Will Win Nomination and Newt Continues To Attack Romney

CNN Reporter: Do You Feel You Have a Realistic Path? Santorum: "Oh, I Expect To Win the Nomination"

LAS VEGAS — Sheldon Adelson, the billionaire casino executive keeping Newt Gingrich’s presidential hopes alive, has relayed assurances to Mitt Romney that he will provide even more generous support to his candidacy if he becomes the Republican nominee, several associates said in interviews here.

The signals from Mr. Adelson, whose politics are shaped in large part by his support for Israel, reflect what the associates said was his deep investment in defeating President Obama and his willingness to play a more prominent role in the Republican Party and conservative causes.

Several people who have spoken with Mr. Adelson over the past two weeks said he would most likely continue to help the group as long as Mr. Gingrich remained in the race. But, they said, he is concerned that additional deep-pocketed donors have not joined him. And, they said, his affection for and loyalty to Mr. Gingrich, who met with him here on Friday, have not blinded him to the reality that the nominating contest is tilting in Mr. Romney’s favor.

“He saw a friend who needed and wanted help,” said an associate who talks to Mr. Adelson regularly, speaking on the condition of anonymity to avoid upsetting him. “I don’t think it’s likely that he’s going to fund Newt’s death march to Tampa,” the site of the Republican National Convention, “but if there is a realistic perception that he can help make his candidacy viable, he will.”

Mr. Adelson declined to be interviewed.

Wild Thing's comment......

LOL I got on a roll and put all the items about the Nevada Caucus in one post. haha

Arrogant To The Max ...Newt Gingrich Tells Las Vegas Crowd He Will ‘Win The Nomination’

Gingrich Tells Las Vegas Crowd He Will ‘Win The Nomination’

Las Vegas Sun Newspaper

With less than 24 hours to go before caucus time, Newt Gingrich stood in a Las Vegas bar and told voters not just why they should vote for him, but that if they voted for him he could win.

“Come join us,” Gingrich said. “Tell every friend you’ve got: You go to the caucus and speak up for a people’s campaign ... with your help, together, we will win the nomination and we will then win the election.”

Electability has been a recurring question, especially for Gingrich, who has trailed Romney by at least 20 points in the Nevada polls. In his past few campaign appearances, he has looked like he’s feeling the weight of those numbers.

But whether it was the excited fans, the professional lighting, the presence of his wife, Callista, or the mechanical bull — which he didn’t ride — 30 feet away, Gingrich appeared re-energized for the final campaign push — even joking with some supporters that they looked like they’d been in the bar “since last night.”

Wild Thing's comment......

Yikes....oh my gosh. I don't think I would say this if I was trying to get people to vote for me. hahahaha

2012 Nevada Caucus Today

Nevada will head to caucus sites on Saturday to choose their preferred 2012 GOP nominee.

RENO, NV – After watching all the debates and contests in Iowa, New Hampshire and Florida, it’s finally Nevada’s turn in the political spotlight. Our moment will be brief, but at least 50,000 Nevada Republicans are expected to show up at caucus locations around the state Saturday and make their choices.

For first time participants it can be confusing. A caucus is not a primary. The government's election apparatus plays no part. It is organized and run by the political parties.

By definition it is a meeting of local members of a national party with two major functions, selecting delegates to a convention and registering preference for candidates. Both will be addressed at this Saturday's caucus, but all the attention will be on that second duty. It's called a presidential preference poll.

Unlike the Democrats, Republican officials rejected the idea of same day registration, so, in order to take part, you must have been a registered Republican by January 20th.

Gingrich Whines About Florida Winner Take All ( Delegates) Wants Delegates From Romney! ~ What a Jerk Newt is!

Carl Cameron reports that the Florida primary may not be over. Under the Republican National Committee rules, no state can be winner take all until after April 1, which Florida was. Fox News has learned that tomorrow, the Gingrich campaign will send a Florida campaign official to look into the issue and see if they can get the rules enforced that prevent the state from being winner takes all and require that the delegates be divided proportionally. That could give Gingrich delegates from the state.

Wild Thing's comment........

So Newt is going to try and have the GOP of Floirda give him some hand outs of delegates. Newt the handout rino.
You can't win Newt but you will beg, borrow and steal delegates instead. sheesh

Senator Jim DeMint on Mitt Romney

.E. Cupp and the Blaze panel sat down with Senator Jim DeMint during Thursday’s “Real News From The Blaze” to discuss the 2012 election, particularly Romney’s success with Tea Partiers in the Florida Primary. Of Romney, DeMint said, “he showed that he could stand tough” in Florida and “that’s what made the difference in my mind.”

“I‘m glad we dispelled this myth that Tea Partiers won’t support Romney.”

When asked if he thinks the Tea Party’s credibility will be tested this election, DeMint suggested that there is no one candidate that fits the Tea Party because the Tea Party comprises so many different small groups around the country — from Libertarians to disaffected Democrats to conservatives and Independents.

Wild Thing's comment.......

Interesting. DeMint is not endorseing anyone. I have heard him say he will only be working to get the other elections to elect a Republican and feels it would not help to pick out one presidential candidate.

Gingrich Predicts GOP Race Will Last 6 More Months

Gingrich delivering a defiant speech in the wake of a distant second place finish to Mitt Romney. Gingrich never congratulated Romney on his victory in Florida, but instead made it clear he intends to fight Romney in every state.

Newt Gingrich said to his crowd of supporters in Florida last night:

“I will be back in Florida, as the Republican nominee in August.” He even said that the only way that the race will end much before August’s Republican National Convention in Tampa is if front-runner Mitt Romney drops out.”

Wild Thing's comment.....

I am so glad Romney beat Newt. Not being a big fan of either of most of their politics, but Newt truly disgusts me. augh.Newt = Low class, self absorbed, egomaniac.

At least Romney has some good character traits when it comes to some areas that Newt is lacking big time.

ABC News: Santorum's Daughter Has Pneumonia ~ Please Pray For Little Bella Santorum!!!

Sen. Rick Santorum will stay off the campaign trail, canceling scheduled stops in Florida so he can remain in Philadelphia with his 3 year-old daughter, Bella, who is hospitalized:

ABC News: Santorum's Daughter Has Pneumonia

The reason Bella Santorum was admitted to Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia Saturday night is because she has pneumonia in both of her lungs, a campaign aide told ABC News.

The 3-year-old, who has the serious genetic disorder Trisomy 18, is not on a ventilator, though, which is a very good sign. The family has medical equipment in their Virginia home and because of the risk of infection in hospitals they try to keep her out unless it is absolutely necessary.

She was in and out of hospitals the first year of her life, but since then — aside from besides being admitted for surgeries — she has not spent any time in the hospital before Saturday, Rick Santorum has said on the campaign trail.

Wild Thing's comment.........

This goes beyond politics, I am praying this dear child will get well soon. And prayers for Rick Sanotrum and his wife and the rest of their family.

Newt Gingrich Praises President Obama on the Stimulus & Healthcare

Wild Thing's comment.....

This is VERY scary to hear him saying this.

This is something that Nick wrote last night. ...................

Newt sold out every campaign promise he made in 1994. Newt is the reason conservatism is the state it is in. If Newt had simply frozen spending as Speaker...then George W would have had to follow and we would not be even close to where we are now.(and Obama would not be POTUS) He is a leftist on health care, the environment, the list is long. He is a horrible manager and leader. Being a good communicator and strategist has nothing to do with being a leader. Look at Obama.

In 2003 Newt was the lead pimp/cheerleader for medicare D.He had been pushing for that for years.

As Speaker he was the one who allowed entitlements to get out of control when back then there was a chance of keeping it managed.

As Speaker, Newt whipped the caucus into supporting the creation of the SCHIP entitlement.

Newt has a record second to none among Republicans of advocating for, and or implementing,multi trillion dollar health care entitlements that piece by piece takeover the health care industry.

Newt killed the Reagan Revolution and he ushered in an era of HUGE government. (starting with him ILLEGALLY busting the spending Caps in 96,97,98). Newt takes Socialist positions on every spending issue.Newt makes Romney and George W seem like arch conservatives.

Newt’s Victory In S.Carolina is the Tea Party’s Loss ~ A Must Read Article

Newt’s victory is the tea party’s loss

Sen. Rand Paul has said that Newt Gingrich “goes against everything the tea party stands for.” This might be an understatement.

The tea party originally stood for one simple but important message: Stop spending. For tea partiers, the “Troubled Asset Relief Program” or TARP was the litmus test and any Republican who supported it faced the wrath of the movement. Explained Utah tea party leader David Kirkham in May 2010:

I think it’s a matter of fiscal or financial responsibility … What the tea party people are about and the vote for TARP and the vote for the bailout was, in our opinion, pretty fiscally irresponsible, and that’s what’s raised the ire of most people.

At the time, Kirkham’s group was working to unseat Republican Senator Bob Bennett, who had voted for TARP. Kirkham’s efforts would eventually help elect tea party champion Sen. Mike Lee. When asked if the TARP-supporting incumbent deserved to lose his seat over just one vote, Kirkham replied:

That one vote was pretty toxic. That one vote affected a lot of things, changed the rules of the game. President Bush said that where we have to abandon free market principles to save the free market, and fundamentally, we just don’t agree. There’s just no way.

Tea party support for Newt Gingrich in South Carolina and elsewhere marks a new point — a low point — for the movement. When John McCain suspended his campaign in 2008 to go to Washington to support TARP, Gingrich said, “This is the greatest single act of responsibility ever taken by a presidential candidate and rivals President Eisenhower saying ‘I will go to Korea.’”

The tea party believed that TARP represented Washington at its most irresponsible. Gingrich believed the exact opposite. In fact, if you were to make a list of every big-government issue most tea partiers stand against — bank bailouts, healthcare mandates, cap-and-trade, you name it — Gingrich has been, or still is, on the opposite side.

Grassroots conservatives want a Republican nominee who will fight President Obama on issues like bailouts and healthcare mandates. Saturday, grassroots conservatives in South Carolina championed a Republican presidential candidate who has agreed with Obama on both of those issues. In the debates, Obama could even say that Newt was for forcing Americans to purchase health insurance before he was against it. And the president will be right.

When Gingrich called McCain’s support for TARP “the greatest single act of responsibility ever taken by a presidential candidate,” this was classic Newt-speak — Gingrich is a great talker and often speaks in bold and indeed “grandiose” terms. Newt sounds good. People like that. They respond to it. It inspires them. Ask Barack Obama.

But the tea party was supposed to be better than this. The tea party was supposed to stand for something more substantive.

When Gingrich dressed down CNN’s John King at the beginning of the debate last Thursday, Newt became an instant hero to many conservatives. This unquestionably helped deliver Gingrich his South Carolina victory. Most pundits and probably even Gingrich himself would not disagree with this analysis.

Gingrich won South Carolina because he berated the media — which conservatives rightly see as often being in cahoots with Obama. Gingrich won because conservatives want to see a forceful challenge to Obama. Conservatives don’t see this sort of fight coming from Mitt Romney. Conservatives don’t like Romney. But the divide between these two front-runners is entirely personality-based. On the actual issues, Gingrich and Romney are almost indistinguishable. Writes National Review’s Yuval Levin:

What stands out about Romney and Gingrich … Both of them are fundamentally moderates: Very wonky Rockefeller Republicans … both still very much exhibit the technocratic countenance of the Rockefeller Republican — a program for every problem …

Levin adds:

They’re also essentially in the same place politically — I can’t think of a single major issue on which Gingrich is more conservative than Romney …

Many tea partiers like Gingrich because he seems willing to “fight.” Here is where conservatives are most wrong about Gingrich. Gingrich always talks boldly. He did so when he went after John King. Newt talked boldly when he praised McCain for supporting TARP. Gingrich spoke boldly when he joined Nancy Pelosi on the couch to promote climate change legislation.

Speaking boldly has always been Newt’s “style.”

Gingrich’s “substance” is an entirely different matter. When the rubber hits the road for conservatives — and we come to the moments where Republicans might actually offer real spending cuts or reform — Gingrich always backs down. When the freshmen Republican class of 1994 arrived in Congress promoting the Contract with America, they were quickly told by the leadership (Gingrich) to cool their jets. Class of ’94 Congressman Mark Sanford has said that the GOP leadership stressed the freshmen were no longer in “campaign mode” but “governing mode.” When Rep. Paul Ryan offered an entitlement reform plan last year, virtually every conservative was onboard. Gingrich called it “right-wing social engineering.” When Ron Paul proposed $1 trillion in cuts in October, conservatives like Rush Limbaugh and others cheered. Gingrich called this proposal a “non-starter.”

Gingrich is not a fighter. He’s a talker. Right now is the time when the GOP presidential candidates are expected to at least lie to voters, promising them how much they will cut or shrink government. Yet, Gingrich already considers any of the substantive proposals offered by Republicans toward this end beyond the pale. Gingrich cuts great promos. He will not cut government.

The moment the tea party abandons its trademark “Stop spending” message, the movement loses its original independence and simply morphs back into the GOP machine — something both right and left critics always said would happen. Sen. Lindsey Graham bragged in 2010 that the tea party would “die out” because it had “no governing vision.” I have argued that as long as the tea party stands firmly against spending it will remain an indomitable force in American politics.

But is Sen. Graham now being proven right?

The tea party was a movement founded on the idea that voters should throw politicians’ big-government records back in their faces. The “governing vision” of the movement was to insist that Republicans envision a very small government. The moment tea partiers decide they are no longer concerned with actual limited-government issues and holding politicians’ feet to the fire, they essentially surrender their movement.

With Gingrich, as with Obama, there is a danger in mistaking articulation for wisdom. Yelling at John King is not a political philosophy and certainly not sufficient to win the next election. American politics before the tea party was mostly a popularity contest — and this was precisely what was wrong with much of American politics.

In 2009 and 2010, the tea party wanted America to know it had been seduced by a smooth-talking president with bad policies. In South Carolina Saturday, many in the tea party were seduced in the same manner

Gingrich the Defense Weakling

In his diaries, Ronald Reagan wrote that Newt Gingrich "would cripple our defense program." Elliott Abrams, key Reagan lieutenant on defense and foreign policy, writes that "Gingrich was voluble and certain in predicting that Reagan's policies would fail, and in all of this he was dead wrong."

Limbaugh Letting Newt Know How Wrong Newt Was To Say.." the era of Reagan is over"

Back in March 2009... Newt Gingrich had put down Ronald Reagan saying" the era of Reagan is over"...... and when Rush Limbaugh spoke at CPAC he had some things to say about Newt! God bless Rush Limbaugh and the hell with Newt Gingrich!!!

Wild Thing's comment........

I wanted to let all of you know, Nick and I already voted.

Awhile back Nick and I filled out the absentee ballots in case we might be out of town when it came time to vote. We both voted for the true conservative Rick Perry. At that time we did not mail them in they were only filled out as I said in case we had to go out of town.

Nick always likes to vote early so this week early voting begins here in Florida.

I told Nick I hate to vote because Perry is no longer a candidate and what a horrible day this is going to be. He said we already voted. I asked him what? And he said he mailed in the absentee ballots we had so our vote was made awhile back. He forgot to tell me when he did it. He thought I knew. I know some of you will think this is horrible and maybe get mad, but I am glad Nick mailed our vote in because we got to vote for the best candidate.

This election it will either be Newt or Romney and either one if they campaign hitting Obama hard.

Also I want to share this with you all too. I have heard people say when I am out and about that they might not vote for President. I tell them look if you don't like anyone in the Primary that is one thing. But not to vote in the General and try all you can to get Obama out is a vote for Obama. So please no matter how we might feel sick and angry about the choice we end up with there is no way we can let Obama get a second term.

Presidential Candidate Mitt Romney On Obama's State of the Union Address

...." As Obama delivers his State of the Union address, he will probably fail to mention his actual record over the last three years. Unemployment is still high, our debt is still increasing, and our credit has been downgraded. "

TAMPA, Fla — Republican presidential contender Mitt Romney urged voters here to make President Obama’s State of the Union address Tuesday his last and blamed the Democrat for pushing policies that have raised the nation’s unemployment rate, worsened the housing crises and pushed the nation deeper into a sea of red ink.

Standing under an “Obama Isn’t Working” banner, the former Massachusetts governor said that Mr. Obama, during his first three years in office, has “amassed an actual record of debt, decline and disappointment” and pushed the nation toward a “European-style welfare state.”

Along the way, Mr. Romney said that if elected president, he would approve the Keystone Pipeline project, which he and other conservatives claim will put 20,000 people to work, and pursue tax policies aimed at helping middle-class Americans.

“This president’s agenda made these troubled times last longer,” he said, arguing that it “is critical that we make today Barack Obama’s last State of the Union address.”

didn’t mention any of his Republican rivals and instead chose to aim his fire on Mr. Obama’s speech this evening.

He predicted that the “desperate campaigner-in-chief” will use his speech to offer up his “partisan planks for his re-election campaign” and claim that the “Do Nothing Congress” has tied his hands legislatively.

“But, we shouldn’t forget that for two years, this president had a Congress that could do everything he wanted,” Mr. Romney said. “With huge Democratic majorities in the House and Senate, President Obama was free to pursue any policy he pleased. Did he fix the economy? Did he tackle the housing crisis? Did he get Americans back to work? No.”

Instead, he said, the president gave the American people costly policies that they didn’t want, including the $814 billion stimulus package, the overhaul of the federal health-care system and the “Cash for Clunkers” program.

“He’s spearheaded one of the largest expansions of government in American history. And he’s paying for it with money borrowed from China,” Mr. Romney said.

Romney said that if he were delivering the speech he’d outline his agenda for a “simpler, smaller and smarter” federal government, while also calling on Congress to approve the Keystone Pipeline project, simply the tax code and push back against proposed cuts to the defense budget, which amounts to about one-fifth of national spending.

Newt Gingrich on Obama State of the Union

Newt Gingrich Response to State of the Union

Coral Gables, FL - Newt Gingrich released the following statement responding to President Obama's State of the Union address:

We have a crisis of work in this country and tonight President Obama proposed nothing in the way of policy changes that will get us to robust job creation and dramatic economic growth.

Instead, the president described his conviction that his big government is built to last and should be paid for with higher taxes.

But bigger government and higher taxes will not lead to jobs and growth. Bigger government and higher taxes will instead lead to more people on food stamps, a situation which the President and his party defend as a fair outcome.

Here we have to confront the truth about President Obama. Economic growth and prosperity is not really at the top of his agenda. He will always prefer a food stamp economy to a paycheck economy and call it fair.

For the president and a large part of the political class, it's about their power, their right to rule. They just want to take money from Joe the Plumber - the small business people who makes over 90 per cent of the new jobs -- and redistribute it to the government bureaucracy and their political friends and allies. That's why so much of that nearly trillion-dollar stimulus didn't create jobs but just went into the pockets of special interests who support President Obama and the leadership of the Democratic Party.

No better example of this exists than in the crisis of American energy. President Obama and his political allies - not of few of whom love living in energy inefficient houses or driving gas-guzzling luxury vehicles - openly admit they want gas prices to remain high so that the rest of America will learn to live more modestly. They think it's good for rest of us. Only recently, the president canceled the Keystone XL Pipeline that would have created countless new jobs and helped America on the way to energy independence because he wanted to appease the far left of his party. And yet not a single word on the Keystone XL pipeline tonight.

To create jobs and growth in this country, we must start with dramatic tax reform that lowers taxes and maximizes capital investment and job creation. We must return to a dollar as good as gold whose purchasing power is the same in thirty years as it is today. We must dramatically expand American energy production. We must have smarter regulation at the same time we abolish destructive and costly regulatory systems beginning with Obamacare,Dodd-Franks, and Sarbanes-Oxley. And finally, unlike the current administration, we must have faith in job creators.

With these policies the state of the union will be much better. They will create an explosion in job creation and lead to robust economic growth and a return to prosperity. Furthermore, a paycheck economy will put us on a path to balanced budgets and paying down our national debt.

Newt Gingrich: I'd Support A Muslim Running For President Only If They'd Commit To 'Give Up Sharia'

Newt Gingrich told a South Carolina town hall audience on Tuesday that he would be open to seeing a Muslim-American run for president, as long as the candidate denounced Sharia law and didn't seek to impose his or her views on others.

At a town hall meeting in West Columbia, S.C., a man asked Gingrich if he would ever "support a Muslim-American running for president."

"Would you endorse...a Muslim-American, [who] could possibly be running for president, given that we had a woman running for president in Hillary Clinton, and we had a Jewish-American, in Joe Lieberman, running for vice president?" he asked.

"A truly modern person who happened to worship Allah would not be a threat," Gingrich replied. "A person who belonged to any kind of belief in Sharia, any kind of effort to impose that on the rest of us, would be a mortal threat."

In the past, Gingrich has repeatedly decried Sharia, a legal code derived from Islam, and called for a federal law to pre-emptively bar its use in any U.S. courts. He didn't soften his position on Tuesday, saying his support would be contingent on a candidate's willingness to denounce Sharia.

"I think it would depend entirely on whether they would commit in public to give up Sharia," he said, referencing his support for the bill and drawing cheers from listeners at the event. "If they're a modern person integrated into the modern world, and they're prepared to recognize all religions, that's one thing. On the other hand, if they're the Saudis, who demand that we respect them while they refuse to allow either a Jew or a Christian to worship in Saudi Arabia, that's something different."

Sarah Palin told Sean Hannity tonight that she would vote for Newt in South Carolina

Wild Thing's comment......

Arrogrant Gingrich: ‘I Would Be Delighted’ With a Santorum Endorsement

Gingrich: ‘I Would Be Delighted’ With a Santorum Endorsement

FLORENCE, S.C. — Feeling confident after a well-received debate performance Monday night, Newt Gingrich said Tuesday he would be “delighted” if Rick Santorum dropped his presidential bid and endorsed his own.

Mr. Gingrich made clear that he is not asking Mr. Santorum to leave the race, but the remark reflects the boastfulness the former speaker often displays when he feels a sudden boost in momentum.

“I would be delighted if he decided to endorse me,” he told reporters here after being asked if Mr. Santorum should drop out. “I’m respectful that Rick has every right to run as long as he feels that’s what he should do. But from the standpoint of the conservative movement, consolidating into a Gingrich candidacy would, in fact, virtually guarantee victory on Saturday.”

Mr. Santorum essentially tied Mitt Romney in the Iowa caucuses and Mr. Gingrich for fourth place in last weeks’ New Hampshire primary. But Mr. Gingrich often says is the only Republican contender who can run a national campaign besides front-runner Mr. Romney. “I don’t think Santorum could do any of that,” he said. “It’s not because he’s not a nice guy, he just doesn’t have the knowledge that I do.”

Mr. Gingrich also touted his skills as a debater, and said, “It’s fairly obvious that last night some things really struck a chord with the American people.” Among other things, he appeared to be referring to his spat with panelist Juan Williams over whether low-income children should do janitorial work in schools.

Speaking at a town hall in a local art gallery, he told an audience member here that should he debate President Barack Obama, “I don’t want to bloody his nose, I want to knock him out.”

Asked why Republicans should view him as the most electable anti-Romney candidate after his disappointing finishes in both Iowa and New Hampshire, Mr. Gingrich said because “we’re in South Carolina.”

Wiild Thing's comment......

We have had an arrogant president already with Obama, I sure as heck do not want another one. Confidence is one thing...but arrogance is another and Newt once again is arrogant!!

Huntsman Drops Out: Is Set To Endorse Romney, Whom He Called ‘Unelectable’

by Alex Seitz-Wald

Former Utah Gov. Jon Huntsman (R) informed his advisers today that he is dropping out of the presidential race. After his third place finish in New Hampshire’s primary, Huntsman declared that he had a “ticket to ride” but it appears the be on a bus owned by GOP front-runner Mitt Romney, whom Huntsman is now expected to endorse. “The governor and his family, at this point in the race, decided it was time for Republicans to rally around a candidate who could beat Barack Obama and turn around the economy,” Huntsman adviser Matt David said in a statement. “That candidate is Gov. Mitt Romney.”

While the statement was not an official endorsement, CBS reports “Huntsman is expected to throw his endorsement to current front-runner Mitt Romney.”

Last week, Huntsman told CNBC that Romney was making himself “completely unelectable.”

Huntsman’s decision may have been influenced by the fact that a powerful group of social conservatives called on conservative to coalesce around Rick Santorum as the anti-Romney candidate this weekend.

Wild Thing's comment......

Huntsman ius not omy choice but he does seem to have a nice family. I got a kick out of the videos his daughters did for his campaign, they were really well done.

Federal Judge Rules Santorum, Perry, Gingrich, Huntsman Cannot be Added to Virginia’s GOP Primary Ballot

Federal Judge Rules Santorum, Perry, Gingrich, Huntsman Cannot be Added to Virginia’s GOP Primary Ballot Only Mitt Romney and Ron Paul qualified for the ballot:

The Washington Post

federal judge denied a request Friday to add four presidential candidates to Virginia’s Republican primary ballot.

U.S. District Judge John A. Gibney Jr. indicated he thought a provision requiring candidates to only use state residents to gather signatures was unconstitutional, but none of the candidates had collected the required 10,000 regardless.

State officials told him Friday that they did not have time to print and mail absentee ballots by Jan. 21 in order to get them out 45 days before the primary as required by federal law.

Texas Gov. Rick Perry, former senator Rick Santorum (Pa.), former House speaker Newt Gingrich (Ga.) and former Utah governor Jon Huntsman failed to qualify for the Virginia ballot, and filed a lawsuit against the State Board of Elections and the state GOP to challenge the qualification rules.

Only former Massachusetts governor Mitt Romney and Rep. Ron Paul (Tex.) qualified

Virginia’s ballot-access rules are considered the toughest in the nation. Candidates must collect 10,000 signatures, with at least 400 from each of the congressional districts.

Virginia, an increasingly important swing state, will hold its presidential primary on Super Tuesday, March 6.

Wild Thing's comment........

I will NEVER forgive Virginia for what they have done to our election process!!! The VA GOP is no different than Eric Holder or Obama. I’m blaming the idiots who seem to be running the Republican party in Virginia. There is NO "we the people" in Virginia! Very sad!

Rep. Ron Paul, whose supporters include liberals and democrats, told conservative candidates Newt Gingrich, Rick Santorum, and Rick Perry, to get out of the race tonight. Paul believes he is the candidate who should take on Mitt Romney.

BuzzFeed

Rep. Ron Paul’s campaign called on the rest of the Republican field to drop out of the race and unite behind him in order to defeat Mitt Romney.

“We urge Ron Paul’s opponents who have been unsuccessfully trying to be the conservative alternative to Mitt Romney to unite by getting out of the race and uniting behind Paul’s candidacy,” campaign chair Jesse Benton said in a statement.

Santorum compares holding elective office to military service ~ This Is Unforgivable What He Said!

NORTHFIELD, N.H.

Former Pennsylvania Sen. Rick Santorum compared his service in government to serving in the military during a town hall meeting on Thursday.

“I grew up around veterans, I grew up around, you know, folks who loved their country and served their country,” he said, answering a question about what propelled him into government service.

“I didn’t see working in government service and being in politics as anything but serving your country, and doing in some ways — in a civilian sense — what a lot of folks did in a military sense. And I saw it as something that is honorable and good to do.”

“The rest of the country doesn’t function unless the government keeps us free,” he added, “and we need people in politics just like we need people in uniform to do that.”

Santorum has been criticized by former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney for being a career politician. In 1990, at age 32, Santorum was elected to the House of Representatives. He entered the Senate after the 1994 Republican Revolution, where he served until losing to now-Democratic Sen. Bob Casey in 2006.

Santorum’s father served in the military during World War II, but the senator never served in the military.

Wild Thing's comment......

Sorry to any of you that support this man for President. THIS what Santorum has said is unforgivable and there is NO way in hell he can talk his way out of it. NO way!
There is NO comparison to those that have served and someone working in our government....a politician or even a President. Nothing on earth can compare to it.
No one forced him to say what he did, no one put the words in his mouth.

No Conservative Economically Santorum tells CNN: “I’m Proud of My Earmarks” (Video)

No Conssrvative Economically Santorum tells CNN: “I’m Proud of My Earmarks” (Video)

RedState

Just a few weeks before DeMint stood for re-election on South Carolina’s ballot, Rick Santorum showed up in DeMint’s neighborood to tell everyone Jim DeMint was wrong on earmarks. “Former U.S. Sen. Rick Santorum of Pennsylvania said the Constitution gives Congress control of the purse strings and that he supported earmarks for port deepening while a senator – the opposite of the position that DeMint is taking. But former U.S. House Speaker Newt Gingrich of Georgia said DeMint has shown “moral courage” in refusing to support any earmarks, including one that the State Ports Authority says is needed to study the deepening of Charleston Harbor.”

Santorum went on John King USA on CNN tonight and again defended earmarks claiming “Jim DeMint did it too” without acknowledging DeMint repented and has since led the fight against earmarks. When asked about what he may or may not have said about black welfare recipients, Santorum defended himself by claiming he got earmarks for a black community in Pennsylvania.

Now Ron Paul Admits He “Wrote A Certain Portion” Of Racist Newsletters

CALLER: Dr. Paul, how confident were you at the time that the newsletters that bore your name were representative of your views on taxes, on monetary policy, the Second Amendment, the Tenth Amendment, all the things that you hold dear? How confident were you that the newsletter accurately portrayed your views on those things?

PAUL: Well, the newsletters were written, you know, a long time ago. And I wrote a certain portion of them. I would write the economics. So a lot of what you just mentioned . . . his would be material that I would turn in, and it would become part of the letter. But there were many times when I didn’t edit the whole letter, and things got put in. And I didn’t even really become aware of the details of that until many years later when somebody else called and said, you know what was in it? But these were sentences that were put in, a total of eight or ten sentences, and it was bad stuff. It wasn’t a reflection of my views at all. So it got in the letter, I thought it was terrible, it was tragic, you know and I had some responsibility for it, because name went on the letter. But I was not an editor. I’m like a publisher. And if you think of publishers of newspapers, once in a while they get pretty junky stuff in newspapers. And they have to say that this is not the position of that newspaper, and this is certainly the case. But I actually put a type of a newsletter out, it was a freedom report, investment, survival report — every month since 1976. So this is probably ten sentences out of 10,000 pages, for all I know. I think it’s bad that happened but I disavowed all these views, and people who know me best, people of my district, have heard these stories for years and years, and they know they weren’t a reflection of anything I believed in, and it never hurt me politically. Right now, I think it’s the same case, too. People are desperate to find something.

CALLER: But Dr. Paul, many of the newsletters are filled with conspiracies. You had one newsletter from start to finish with fear that the $50 bill, because it was going to be made pink, and it was gonna have all kinds of things that can track us down, so we should all be afraid that maybe tomorrow they’re gonna require us to turn in all of our old money.

PAUL: The paper money now is pink, you know? No, we haven’t had runaway inflation, but I still fear that.

Don't you just love how some of the politicans lie and lie and stand by their lie, then if we wait awhile, we hear them say it differently. The left has called this...... the person misspoke. hahaha....amazing.

2008 video of Newt Gingrich strongly pushing the need for an individual health care mandate – requiring everyone to buy insurance or post some kind of a bond.

Virginia GOP Hand Picks Candidates For Voters ~ Why Are They NOT Checking Signatures Of Romney and Ron Paul ~ Hmmmm Cheat Much??!!

Did the VA GOP change the rules on primary ballot access in November 2011?

by Moe Lane

The VA GOP only certified Mitt Romney and Ron Paul for its primary ballot. Rick Perry and Newt Gingrich both had too many signatures tossed; Jon Huntsman, Rick Santorum, and Michele Bachmann didn’t even try. Of the seven candidates, one (Romney) had more than enough signatures (15K) to bypass the verification process entirely. All of this has caused a lot of agitation among Republicans following the primary process, of course; and not just from people who disapprove of what the VA GOP has done. There has been a good deal of defending of the outcome; and one argument heavily used in this defense has been that the campaigns all knew the rules and that previous Republican campaigns were able to get on the ballot, so clearly a competent current Republican campaign should have done so.

One small problem with that: as Winger argues, the rules were allegedly drastically changed. In November of this year.

Winger’s article is too long to reproduce here, so I’ll summarize it: prior to the 2012 elections it was Republican party policy in Virginia to simply deem any candidate that brought in ten thousand raw signatures as having met the primary ballot requirements under Virginian state election law. So, for example, Alan Keyes (a popular negative example for people making the ‘any competent campaign’ argument) apparently did not actually have his petitions checked in 2000 and 2008; absent going back and looking at the paperwork (assuming that it even still exists), there’s no way to tell whether he would have survived the scrutiny of 2012. And that’s true of every other candidate who has appeared on the primary ballot in Virginia. None of them qualify for an apples-to-apples comparison – and this remains true no matter how many signatures were collected. If you know that your signatures will not be checked if you get above 10K, you are simply operating in a fundamentally different environment than one where you know that your signatures will be checked

So what happened? Osborne v. Boyles. On October 24th independent state delegate candidate Michael Osborne filed suit against the Republican party of Virginia (specifically, Fifth District GOP Chairman Brandon Boyles) because of this policy: as the article notes, “the law simply requires that party-affiliated candidates present their petitions to the local party chairman – in this case Boyles – who is responsible for reviewing the petition signatures on their own. It does not dictate how thorough this review must be or give state officials any power to challenge it.” The case is still pending – interestingly, the election that this lawsuit was ostensibly addressing has come and gone – but according to Winger the VA GOP decided in response to bump up from 10K to 15K the threshold for simply deeming the requirements as being met. The complications of it being the day after Christmas makes final confirmation of all of this difficult, but Osborne v. Boyles is an actual case and Richard Winger is one of the go-to guys on the arcane subject of ballot access: what I can check out about this story I have checked out.

As for the implications… well, I think that John Fund’s general comment is correct: this is going to go to the courts. John was not discussing this specific wrinkle, but his larger point that Virginia’s ballot access policies have systemic problems gets a big boost when it turns out that the state party can effectively increase by fifty percent the practical threshold for ballot access – in a day, and in the middle of an existing campaign. The VA GOP still retains ultimate control over who gets on the ballot, of course. But then, they always have – and under the current system they could in fact brazen it out and certify Gingrich and Perry anyway. Of course, that would probably mean another lawsuit anyway; but then, there really isn’t a path out of here that doesn’t involve lawsuits.

But that’s a matter for the courts and the party leadership. On the activist level; as noted above, there has been a certain argument used to defend the VA GOP. It’s an argument that accuses two Presidential campaigns of being ignorant of conditions on the ground… and it turns out that the people using that argument may themselves be guilty of being ignorant of conditions on the ground. If it is true that the Republican party of Virginia decided in November of 2011 to increase the threshold for automatic certification from 10K to 15K, then it is reasonable to suggest that this was a change that unfairly rewarded candidates who had previously run for President in Virginia. Even if you dispute that, if this story checks out then it is still completely unreasonable to compare the Gingrich/Perry campaigns to any historical Presidential campaign in Virginia: if this was 2008 or 2000, they’d both be on the ballot themselves and the subject wouldn’t have even come up. And anyone who still tries to use that argument needs to understand that doing so simply makes them look foolish, instead of the Presidential campaigns that they’re pretty much trying to assault. Put another way… I know that this statement will grate on some people, but here goes: there are some defenders of the VA GOP decision out there who need to start apologizing for their, ah, over-enthusiasm. Whether or not they think that it’s fair, or whether anybody’s apologizing to them, or really anything else.

Because… karma. It’s what’s for dinner

Big Government blog

It has not been reported is that in the only other presidential primaries in which Virginia required 10,000 signatures (2000, 2004, and 2008) the signatures were not checked. Any candidate who submitted at least 10,000 raw signatures was put on the ballot. In 2000, five Republicans qualified: George Bush, John McCain, Alan Keyes, Gary Bauer, and Steve Forbes. In 2004 there was no Republican primary in Virginia. In 2008, seven Republicans qualified: John McCain, Mike Huckabee, Mitt Romney, Ron Paul, Rudy Giuliani, Fred Thompson, and Alan Keyes.

The only reason the Virginia Republican Party checked the signatures for validity for the current primary is that in October 2011, an independent candidate for the legislature, Michael Osborne, sued the Virginia Republican Party because it did not check petitions for its own members, when they submitted primary petitions. Osborne had no trouble getting the needed 125 valid signatures for his own independent candidacy, but he charged that his Republican opponent’s primary petition had never been checked, and that if it had been, that opponent would not have qualified. The lawsuit, Osborne v Boyles, cl 11-520-00, was filed in Bristol County Circuit Court. It was filed too late to be heard before the election, but is still pending. The effect of the lawsuit was to persuade the Republican Party to start checking petitions. If the Republican Party had not changed that policy, Newt Gingrich and Rick Perry would be on the 2012 ballot.

And then there’s this:

The VA GOP published a letter that announced that any candidate who submitted a petition with more than 15,000 signatures would not be checked (’shall be deemed to have met the threshold for qualification and will be certified’).

Wild Thing's comment......

Beyond disgusting. If it is so important to check each signature then it should be the same across the board and not only the certain ones. That alone tells me this stinks.

The VA GOP is matching the kind of cheating we have seen with ACORN, what is next a Mickey Mouse will vote for Romney or Ron Paul and that is ok with them??

Romney Says He Will NOT Release His Tax Returns If He Wins Republican Nomination for President

Romney says he won’t release tax returns

While in Congress, Gingrich co-sponsored 418 bills with Pelosi

Mitt Romney said he will not release his tax returns if he wins the Republican nomination for president, a rare move for a candidate.

When asked if he would, Romney, in an unaired segment of an interview with MSNBC’s Chuck Todd, said that he doesn’t “intend to” release the returns.

“I doubt it. I will provide all the financial info, which is an extraordinary pile of documents which show investments and so forth,” he said, according to video provided by NBC.

When Todd pointed out that Romney had asked Sen. Ted Kennedy (D-Mass.) to release his returns during their 1994 race, Romney reiterated his remarks.

“Never say never but I don’t intend to do so,” he said.

President Obama’s campaign blasted Romney’s statement.

“By declaring that, if nominated, he would not release his income tax returns, Mitt Romney is defying a practice to which every party nominee, Republican and Democrat, has adhered for decades,” said Obama spokesman Ben LaBolt. “Even his father, George Romney, disclosed his tax returns when he ran for president in 1968. Why does Gov. Romney feel like he can play by a different set of rules? What is it that he doesn’t want the American people to see?”

Nearly every presidential candidate in modern history has released his or her tax returns.

Good grief, we have had enough of this now in the WH, Obama acting like a KING and above everyone else. And now to hear this BS from Romney? sheesh

Mitt Romney Wants His Logo Pro-Romney “Happy Holidays” Tags on Your Gifts this Year - NO Merry Christmas on Tags

The Washington Examiner

Mitt Romney Wants You to Put Pro-Romney “Happy Holidays” Tags on Your Gifts this Year - No Merry Christmas on Tags

The Romney campaign just released a new tag making kit to brand every Christmas present with the Romney for president logo.

"Personalize your gifts and show your support with Romney holiday gift tags!" reads the campaign announcement, "Just download the PDF, print the page, and follow the simple instructions. And don't forget to share these with your friends and loved ones."

But maybe we shouldn't call them Christmas presents. Each Romney branded tag reads "Happy Holidays" instead of Merry Christmas. . .

Wild Thing's comment......

You know these years with Obama and how he has treated the National Day of Prayer and Christmas and Easter and all the Christian holidiays vs. how he has treated the Muslim holidays...I really have had enough of this.

Romney IMO has made a big mistake with these stupid tags. Either do it right or forget it. This is disgusting!!

The other day she insulted tea partiers by claiming the tea party would prefer a candidate who would call Obama a Kenyan.

I am NO fan of Newt, but what Ann is doing and saying will do more harm to the election then anything I could ever do in a post. And Ron Paul will probably use her quotes in his ads.

It should also be noted that Wallace will be one of the moderators at tomorrow’s Fox News debate in Iowa.

“Well, and the Ron Paul people aren’t going to like me saying this, but, to a certain degree, it will discredit the Iowa caucuses because, rightly or wrongly, I think most of the Republican establishment thinks he is not going to end up as the nominee. So, therefore, Iowa won’t count and it will go on.”

Ron Paul made the comments Thursday night, saying the “glee” was because they wanted to use it as a pretext for invading Iraq:

Rush says that Ron Paul’s foreign policy with this attacks on America sound like that of a Democrat. Rush quotes him as saying this on Wednesday night in a packed house of 1,000 students:

“Think of what happened after 9/11. The minute before there was any assessment, there was glee in the [Bush] administration because now we can invade Iraq, and so the war drums beat.”

Rush goes on to say this:

Folks, this foreign policy disastrous and to sit there, to attack the country this way, to say that the Bush administration was in glee, the Bush administration was happy – this is Democrat talk!

Michele Bachmann Becomes Fifth GOP Candidate To Reject Donald Trump Debate

ABC

ABC News’ Michael Falcone reports:

DES MOINES — Another one bites the dust.

Michele Bachmann has officially said “no” to the Donald Trump-moderated Newsmax debate scheduled for later this month.

“We have confirmed that we are not participating,” Bachmann spokeswoman Alice Stewart told ABC News on Thursday.

Bachmann has been especially aggressive in her courting of the real estate and reality television mogul, paying several personal visits to Trump Tower over the past few months in search of an endorsement.

So, this leaves just two candidates — Newt Gingrich and Rick Santorum — who plan to show up at the Dec. 27 event in Des Moines.

Mitt Romney, Jon Huntsman, Rick Perry, Ron Paul have all declined to attend. Perry became the latest to decline Trump’s invitation on Thursday.

While in Congress, Gingrich Co-sponsored 418 Bills With Nancy Pelosi ~ Newt Is No Conservative!

DES MOINES, Iowa — Newt Gingrich has taken heat on the campaign trail from conservatives for filming a 2008 commercial on climate change with House Democratic leader Nancy Pelosi.

But that was hardly the first time the Republican presidential candidate and former House speaker collaborated with Pelosi.

Gingrich co-sponsored 418 bills in Congress with Pelosi during the 12 years they served together in the House, according to the Library of Congress’s THOMAS database.

Gingrich was in Congress from 1979 to 1999. Pelosi has served since 1987.

As a matter of comparison, House Speaker John Boehner, who has served in Congress with Pelosi for more than 20 years, has only co-sponsored 104 bills with her.

Many of the bills Gingrich and Pelosi co-sponsored were hardly divisive: authorizing an award for Mother Teresa, giving a congressional gold medal to former President Gerald Ford and recognizing the 50th anniversary of the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute.

But one piece of legislation could be problematic for Gingrich with conservatives: the Global Warming Prevention Act of 1989, which never made it out of committee.

Wild Thing's comment......

Nancy Pelosi and Newt Gingrich Fighting

Pelosi Plans on Releasing Dirt on Newt… “When the Time is Right”

Former Speaker Nancy Pelosi told reporters this weekend that she plans on releasing dirt on Newt Gingrich… “When the time is right.”

http://www.outsidethebeltway.com/newt-gingrich-was-for-the-individual-mandate-before-he-was-against-it/

House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) is holding back some information on Republican Newt Gingrich that could detract from his presidential campaign, according to a report published Monday.

“One of these days we’ll have a conversation about Newt Gingrich,” Pelosi told Talking Points Memo. “When the time is right. … I know a lot about him. I served on the investigative committee that investigated him, four of us locked in a room in an undisclosed location for a year. A thousand pages of his stuff.”

Gingrich, who served as Speaker of the House, worked with Pelosi in Congress from 1987 to 1999. Pelosi also served on the ethics committee that investigated Gingrich for tax cheating and campaign finance violations in the late ’90s.

Gingrich filmed an ad with then-House Speaker Pelosi in 2008 to urge action on climate change, which haunted him early in his presidential bid this year. Gingrich called the ad “probably the dumbest single thing I’ve done in recent years” last month.

Gingrich: 'House Should Immediately Condemn' Pelosi If She Uses Ethics Panel Materials Against Me

Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich said today that the U.S. House of Representatives should "immediately condemn" House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D.-Calif.) if she uses materials gathered by the House ethics committee to attack Gingrich in his presidential campaign.

Such an act, Gingrich said, would be "a fundamental violation of the rules of the House."

Newt Fires Back at Pelosi: I Would Hope the House Would Immediately File Charges Against Her

House Speaker Gingrich Ordered to Pay $300,000 for Ethics Violation

January 1997

The House voted overwhelmingly yesterday to reprimand House Speaker Newt Gingrich (R-Ga.) and order him to pay an unprecedented $300,000 penalty, the first time in the House’s 208-year history it has disciplined a speaker for ethical wrongdoing.

The ethics case and its resolution leave Gingrich with little leeway for future personal controversies, House Republicans said. Exactly one month before yesterday’s vote, Gingrich admitted that he brought discredit to the House and broke its rules by failing to ensure that financing for two projects would not violate federal tax law and by giving the House ethics committee false information.

“Newt has done some things that have embarrassed House Republicans and embarrassed the House,” said Rep. Peter Hoekstra (R-Mich.). “If [the voters] see more of that, they will question our judgment.”

Rep. Mark Sanford (R-S.C.) said that had he known what was in the ethics committee’s report, he would not have voted for Gingrich as speaker. “The gray got grayer when you read the report,” he said. “When I think of my three boys and what kind of example I want to set for them for leadership in this country, gray is not the example.”

Wild Thing's comment......

"Newt was disciplined in January 1997 by the House of Representatives for ethics accusations, although a full hearing was avoided. He resigned from the House on November 5, 1998, three days after being elected to his 11th term."

Eighty-four ethics charges were filed against Speaker Gingrich during his term

Following an investigation by the House Ethics Committee Gingrich was sanctioned US$300,000.

In the mid-1990s, Gingrich began an affair with House of Representatives staffer Callista Bisek, who is 23 years his junior. They continued their affair during the Lewinsky scandal, when Gingrich became a leader of the investigation of President Clinton

Mitt Romney Spent Nearly $100,000 in State Funds to Replace Computers in His Office to Conceal His Records

Mitt Romney spent nearly $100,000 in state funds to replace computers in his office at the end of his term as governor of Massachusetts in 2007 as part of an unprecedented effort to keep his records secret, Reuters has learned.

The move during the final weeks of Romney’s administration was legal but unusual for a departing governor, Massachusetts officials say.

The effort to purge the records was made a few months before Romney launched an unsuccessful campaign for the Republican presidential nomination in 2008. He is again competing for the party’s nomination, this time to challenge Barack Obama for the presidency in 2012.

Five weeks before the first contests in Iowa, Romney has seen his position as frontrunner among Republican presidential candidates whittled away in the polls as rival Newt Gingrich, the former speaker of the House of Representatives, has gained ground.

When Romney left the governorship of Massachusetts, 11 of his aides bought the hard drives of their state-issued computers to keep for themselves. Also before he left office, the governor’s staff had emails and other electronic communications by Romney’s administration wiped from state servers, state officials say.

Wild Thing's comment......

I don't like this kind of thing, it has to do with beingi honest. Iti reminds me a lot of how the Clinton's did things.

Gingrich: "Life Doesn't Begin at Conception Because That Would 'Open Up ... Very Difficult Questions'"

Gingrich: Life Doesn't Begin at Conception Because That Would 'Open Up ... Very Difficult Questions'

CNSNews

In an interview with ABC News on Friday, former House Speaker Newt Gingrich said he believes that human life does not begin at conception but at "implantation and successful implantation" because if you say life begins at conception "you're going to open up an extraordinary range of very difficult questions."

Gingrich also said that his "friends" who take "ideological positions" that human life does begin at conception "don't then follow through on the logic of" that postion.

Gingrich's statement was criticized by Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-Minn.), who like Gingrich is seeking the Republican presidential nomination, and by commentaries posted on pro-life websites.

Gingrich made his statement in an interview with ABC News's Jake Tapper in West Des Moines, Iowa.

"Abortion is a big issue here in Iowa among conservative Republican voters and Rick Santorum has said you are inconsistent," Tapper told Gingrich. "The big argument here is that you have supported in the past embryonic stem cell research and you made a comment about how these fertilized eggs, these embryos are not yet 'pre-human' because they have not been implanted. This has upset conservatives in this state who worry you don’t see these fertilized eggs as human life. When do you think human life begins?"

Gingrich responded: "Well, I think the question of being implanted is a very big question. My friends who have ideological positions that sound good don't then follow through the logic of: 'So how many additional potential lives are they talking about? What are they going to do as a practical matter to make this real?

"I think," Gingrich continued, "that if you take a position when a woman has fertilized egg and that's been successfully implanted that now you're dealing with life, because otherwise you're going to open up an extraordinary range of very difficult quesitons."

Wild Thing's comment......

Just keep talking Newt, the whole you are digging is getting deeper and deeper. This is a good example of one that does have some smarts to match his blimp size ego .

Sen. Tom Coburn: I Will Have Difficulty Supporting Newt Gingrich as President of the United States

Sen. Tom Coburn (R-Okla.) said Sunday that he cannot support GOP presidential frontrunner Newt Gingrich because the former House speaker lacks leadership skills.

“I am not inclined to be a supporter of Newt Gingrich’s having served under him for four years and experienced his leadership. Because I found it lacking often times,” Coburn said on Fox News Sunday. The Oklahoma senator served in the House of Representatives from 1995 to 2001.

“There’s all kind of leaders, leaders that instill confidence and leaders that are somewhat abrupt, leaders that have one standard for the people that they are leading and a different standard for themselves,” he said. “I will have difficulty supporting him for president of the United States.”

Wild Thing's comment......

Sen. Tom Coburn would have an inside track on what Newt was like. I think Chris Wallace was surprised to hear the answer to his question. But Chris has not done his homework, because Sen. Tom Coburn has spoken out a few other times on how strongly he feels about Newt and not supporting him.

Gingrich is NOT solidly pro-life
Gingrich is NOT solidly pro-2nd Amendment
Gingrich, in spite of his backtracking about the picture with he and nazi pelosi, has NOT stated that global warming is a farce.
Gingrich believes the era of Reagan is OVER

Newt Gingrich Says “I’m going to be the nominee. It’s very hard not to look at the recent polls and think that the odds are very high I’m going to be the nominee." ~ Wow He Is Arrogant!

Newt Gingrich " I will be the nominee" Watch him say uit and has face, his eyes, his attitude!
“I’m going to be the nominee,” the former Speaker told ABC News. “It’s very hard not to look at the recent polls and think that the odds are very high I’m going to be the nominee.”

TAPPER: “How do you respond to Republicans who say if you don’t draw distinctions with Mitt Romney and others who are attacking you, if you don’t point out their perceived vulnerabilities, Barack Obama and the Democrats sure aren’t going to share that same reluctance and you are doing Obama a favor by staying positive?”

GINGRICH: “They are not going to be the nominee. I don’t have to go around and point out the inconsistencies of people who are not going to be the nominee. They are not going to be the nominee.”

TAPPER: “You are going to be the nominee?”

GINGRICH: “I’m going to be the nominee. It’s very hard not to look at the recent polls and think that the odds are very high I’m going to be the nominee. And by the way I don’t object if people want to attack me, that’s their right. All I’m suggesting that it’s not going to be very effective and that people are going to get sick of it very fast. And the guys who attacked each other in the debates up to now, every single one of them have lost ground by attacking. So they should do what they and their consultants want to do. I will focus on being substantive and I will focus on Barack Obama.”

Wild Thing's comment......

Newt’s as arrogant as ever. It does not matter how far ahead any candidate is in the polls, to say what Newt has said imo is way out of line. Besides it being arrogant he is saying our process does not matter. Hello Newt, we have not voted yet and the polls are no guarantee you are the most popular. Not everyone is taking a poll, not everyone even uses the internet, and not everyone gets political phone calls.

As they say buyer beware......this below is from The Natioinal Review it is well laid out with dates.

August 30, 2004: “Everywhere I’ve been, I’ve argued in favor of electing the moderates,” Gingrich said… He even chastised the fiscally conservative Club for Growth — a group that finances primary challengers to Republican incumbents they deem too liberal .

In June 2005:supporting the ill-conceived nomination of John Bolton as the United States ambassador to the United Nations

In April 2007, he raved about the leadership skills of New York City Mayor Mike Bloomberg

In 2007, he accused the Bush administration of fighting a “phony war” on terrorism

In 2008, he hailed John McCain’s efforts in the crafting of the TARP legislation...........

The forum will run from 8:00-10:00 PM ET, and will feature Rick Perry, Mitt Romney, Newt Gingrich, Michele Bachmann, Rick Santorum, and Ron Paul being questioned by Gov. Huckabee and three state Attorneys General – Pam Bondi, Ken Cuccinelli, and Scott Pruitt.

Gov. Jon Huntsman, and Herman Cain have decided not to take part in the forum.

Wild Thing's comment.........

There is something I do not understand. Mike Huckabee this last week endorsed Mitt Romney. Huckabee is going to be the Host of the debate on FOX. Now this imo stinks to high heaven and I don't get it. There are plenty of people at FOX that could do this debate even if they had Bret Baier do it again, he did a fantastic job when he did it.

Newt Gingrich Attacks Conservative Paul Ryan's Plan AGAIN Says He Meant It Calls It Right-Wing Social Engineering

This creep was on Hannity last night. 11/30/2011

Newt Gingrich on Ryan's Plan as Right-Wing Social Engineering: "What I Said Was True"

Sean Hannity: What you said about Paul Ryan and criticized his Medicare plan and “right-wing social engineering?”

Newt Gingrich: Well look it was a technical mistake but what I said was true. I was asked a question, “Should Republicans impose a plan that is deeply unpopular. And, I said something that Hayek wrote about in The Road to Serfdom, rightwing social engineering is as dangerous as leftwing social engineering. I made a lot of my conservative friends mad at me. But, in fact, Hayek wrote this and he’s right. We have an obligation to explain to the country that any major reform that affects their lives until they decide they’re going to accept it… I was trying to say something very profound but I frankly backed off because it was too much noise to communicate.

NOW THIS IS FROM BACK IN MAY 2011

Former House Speaker and current Republican presidential candidate Newt Gingrich called Rep. Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) to apologize on Tuesday, two days after Gingrich criticized Ryan's Medicare reform proposal as right-wing social engineering.

Also from back in May 2011 ...Rush Criticizes Gingrich's Paul Ryan Critique

Wild Thing's comment......

Listen to Newt, listen to his tremendous ego. I know he cannot help it, he truly believes HE and only HE has the answers to everything.

Herman Cain and His What " Is" Is

Herman Cain has got some real problems on his hands this time. The Fox 5 Reporter from Atlanta talked to Shep Smith at 7:00 tonight and he tells Shep that there were 61 calls in and out between the woman (Ginger White) and Herman Cain's private cell phone according to billing records. The reporter calls the number and Herman Cain calls back and talks to this reporter from Fox 5.

Wild Thing's comment......

The last time this stuff came out regarding Cain, true or not, Cain chose to blame Rick Perry directly and then also Perry's team. I went into my attack mode on Cain because I will not tolerate lies like that. This time......... I will wait again to see how Cain handles this before I pounce on him. That is as fair as I can be about Cain.

The person I do feel sorry for or persons are his wife and family. His wife always voted democrat which is a bummer but all the same this is about a marriage so I do feel sorry for her.

One other thiing.....The station also released a statement from Cain's attorney, Lin Wood, who said the allegations of "private, alleged consensual conduct between adults" is not "not a proper subject of inquiry by the media or the public."

If that is the best... denial that a $600 an hour lawyer can issue, then I'd have to say that this story has legs. There are telephone records and text message records.Cain set himself up when he claimed there were no skeletons in his closet.

For me however, the biggest thing about Cain that I just will never think of him as Presidential are three things.

1. his using the race card, and that was all on his own, no one forced him to as they say go there.

2. the constant ad lingo speak he does. sorry but I do not want my president to be sitting with heads of State and speaking in ad lingo.

3. his total lack of knowledge about so many things, including foreign policy and no desire to even try to learn in preparation of his run for president. His constant way he refers to getting advisors omg never in my life have I seen that from a candidate on either side before. It is really bad.

Newt’s Tea Party Comparison Should Put Newt In Tea Party Kettle

RedState blog

I have been a devoted Tea Party advocate since its inception and have witnessed politicians from both parties jump in the mud, but I have never witnessed such blatant and sad arrogance as that of Newt Gingrich.

Gingrich has a long history of debacles and unethical behavior from sideways deals that got him in trouble in the House of Representatives. A few include, while he condemned his colleagues over the House overdraft scandal, it turned out he did the same. As he criticized President Clinton’s personal life, he himself, suffered from similar behavior. As he has been critical of Fannie and Freddie Mac, it comes out that he took nearly two million in consulting fees. As the nation struggles, Newt kept up a half million dollar Tiffanys line of credit and went on luxury cruises as a nation suffers… not to mention his public overtures and embrace of Nancy Pelosi.

None of this compares to the shameless attempt for Newt to pretend to be an advocate of the Tea Party and to suggest that he is our ideal candidate. Quite the contrary, he is the candidate not of the Tea Party but of the “inside the beltway” mentality that has seemingly corrupted him.

Those in our movement cringed when he attacked Congressman Ryan for “social engineering” and many of us were breathless when it became clear that Newt profited from Fannie and Freddie to the tune of almost two million dollars as Americans face record foreclosures.

Gingrich is NO “Braveheart” or a William Wallace but rather is a calculated political tactician, who should be ashamed for this reckless self promotion and appeal to those of us in the Tea Party. Candidly, as Christmas approaches, Gingrich should not embrace the role of Braveheart to compare himself to, but I would suggest Mr. Potter, the corrupt banker from It’s a Wonderful Life whose only interest is lining his pockets no matter how deceitful his behavior is or who it hurts. I encourage all of my fellow Tea Partiers to not be yet another opportunistic species for Newt to try to prey upon on.

I enclose below the shameless attempt of another Gingrich, used car salesperson promotional tactic and encourage all of us to object to his horrific attempt to get our vote.

Gingrich Casts Himself as ‘Braveheart‘ — ‘Perfect’ Tea Party Candidate

I saw this interesting post of opposition research on Newt and although it’s clear it came from some Ron Paul/Alex Jones types who fear the CFR, Bilderbergers, and the Illuminati… save for some of that crazy it does put quite an impression of Newt out there that is in no way favorable to Tea Party support!

Newt Gingrich is a political chameleon that has inexplicably managed to fool conservatives for 30 years. He is a globalist to the bone and supports every opportunity to erode American sovereignty and the constitution. He disguises his statist positions with an abundance of flip-flopping and pandering as needed. He has a long history of expanding the Federal Government and deficit spending. He is the very definition of an Establishment Insider.

Memo to Gingrich: 'Red card' is path to amnesty

by Tom Tancredo

Newt’s New Strategy: Hide in Plain Sight

Memo to Newt: That's not a back-door amnesty program, it's a front-door amnesty program.

If Newt Gingrich is a "policy wonk" as his friends proclaim, he is a very lazy one. He should have read the Kriebel Foundation's "Red Card Solution" before endorsing it as a non-amnesty solution to our immigration conundrum.

The so-called Red Card Solution purports to create a new guest-worker program that solves all of our immigration problems. It strengthens border security, helps employers fill low-skilled jobs, bars criminals from participation and does all of this by "empowering the private sector" without use of taxpayer dollars. Maybe in the fine print it also wipes out the national debt.

The problem is, it does none of those things, and anyone who takes time to actually read the full 41-page "white paper" instead of the press handout will see this.

Buried deep in the proposal is a statement that ought to send a chill up the spine of any American who opposes amnesty. The plan makes endless statements that foreign nationals who participate in our work force through the Red Card non-immigrant visa are "on a totally separate track" from immigrants seeking citizenship. Yet, in the fine print the proposal admits that this is not actually true. Any worker could apply for a green card – and thus a path to citizenship – after completing several years in the program. The sole hitch? They could not go to the head of the line.

So, the Red Card program does not convey citizenship, but it does establish a legal path to citizenship for illegal aliens already in the country. Memo to Newt: That's not a back-door amnesty program, it's a front-door amnesty program.

A true "guest worker" program requires the worker to go home after completing the term of the work visa, but the Kriebel proposal does not do that. In the fine print, we learn that any worker can change jobs or renew the work permit indefinitely – and not by returning to their home country and reapplying, but by simply making a phone call to the private employment agency that issued the permit.

Does Newt Gingrich or any serious person really believe that after legalizing 10-20 million alien workers and welcoming them into our communities as legal workers, they would forever be kept in a legal limbo without a way to gain citizenship? The Red Card Solution is a dishonest non-solution on those grounds alone.

The press release version and the Helen Kriebel video are also deceptive in another respect. Kriebel implies that the program is aimed at assisting employers in recruiting foreign workers, but its real purpose is to allow the millions of illegal workers already in the U.S. to keep their current jobs after a quickie trip to a border "visa processing station."

The third joker in the Red Card deck is the laughable criminal background check that each foreign national will supposedly receive as part of the "job placement process." All applicants will be run through the FBI database and also the criminal database of their native country.

Now, pardon me, but I do have a question about this rigorous background check. How much do you trust the governments of Mexico, Ecuador, Brazil, Cuba, Egypt, Vietnam, China, Syria, Lebanon, Iraq, Pakistan or Russia – to name a few – to maintain an accurate database free of corruption and bribes? Are those databases fingerprint-based to guard against fake names and aliases? And what crimes will be exempted from the background check after the ACLU and the American Immigration Lawyers Association finish their lobbying campaigns?

We can give the Kriebel proposal kudos for a few gems found buried in their plan as "background." They admit we need to eliminate the "birthright citizenship" misinterpretation of the 14th Amendment that gives automatic citizenship to children born to illegal aliens (and foreign students, business travelers and others). And they admit we have 15-20 million illegals in the U.S., not the ludicrously low U.S. Census estimate of 11.3 million.

The Gingrich endorsement of the misnamed Red Card Solution tells us how pathetically stupid the establishment GOP is in dealing with the immigration issue. It has learned nothing since the disastrous debate over the Bush-McCain amnesty proposals of 2006 and 2007. The so-called Red Card Solution is so fraught with loopholes and contradictions that after five-and-a-half years of alterations and refinements, it has yet to be introduced as legislation in Congress. The Secure Fence Act, passed by a Republican majority in the House in December of 2006 was sabotaged by later amendments – but who in Republican ranks is demanding it be implemented?

There is one non-amnesty strategy that has already proven that it works. In fact, it works so well it is continuously attacked by the open borders lobby and undermined by the Obama administration. That is "attrition through enforcement." Illegal aliens self-deport when denied access to jobs, and millions have gone home as jobs dry up in our recession.

Here's the bottom line. Any new guest worker program that offers legal status to illegal aliens without first securing the border is doomed to failure. Moreover, any plan that presumes competent and efficient enforcement of its complicated provisions before we have demonstrated we can enforce existing laws is not a proposal to be taken seriously.

Wild Thing's comment......

I would also like to point out that Rick Perry has said several times that the border has got to be taken care of first above all else dealing with the illegals.

Hermain Cain Makes Major Gaffes and No Knowledge What He Is Talking About In Debate~ LMAO Good Lord!

Cain's plan to impose sanctions against Syria's oil industry would be less than effective as it has more or less ground to a halt because of existing sanctions.

Cain floundered throughout the foreign policy debate, unsurprising given his recent embarrassing interview on the situation in Libya. He also committed another gaffe, adding what is sure to be one more viral video to his impressive collection.

1. "I would work with people that know better to make a plan."

Throughout the debate, Cain avoided giving an opinion on the actions he would take as president, often citing those he would ask for advice over his own theories. Such a strategy is healthy (in part) in practice, but is political kryptonite in a presidential debate.

2. "If you take a look at the people who have tried to kill us, it would be easy to identify what that profile looks like."

Cain, like Santorum, was firmly in favor of profiling, which he called "targeted identification." When moderator Wolf Blitzer compared the profiling of Muslims and Arabs to that of Christians or Jews, however, Cain rejected the comparison as simplistic.

3. "Blitz."

A classic blunder. Cain mistakenly called Wolf Blitzer by an abbreviation of his name. Blitzer's response: "Cain?"

Cain and mountains ...... "That's not good decision-making,” said Cain. ... Bombs! They will not land on mountains. They just bounce right back up in ... You can't explain that!

During World War II, between 1942 and 1945, or approximately 70 years ago, brave Allied aviators flew numerous transport missions over and across the eastern end of the Himalayan Mountains — they called it the “Hump” — to resupply units of the U.S. Army Air Forces based in China.

These pilots had to wind their way between, around and sometimes over mountains as high as 15,000 feet in two- and four-engine propeller aircraft while encountering violent turbulence, winds up to 200 mph, icing, and using 1940s navigation technology, unreliable charts, and having to fight off occasional Japanese fighter attacks.

But they did it, delivering approximately 650,000 tons of materiel to China during their 42-month history.

Mountains have never kept our military from doing their job.

But here comes pizza CEO and presidential wannabe Herman Cainz, on two occasions in the year 2011, claiming that the mountains in Iran would “make it very difficult” to launch a military strike against Iran to stop that country from developing a nuclear capability.

During the most recent Republican presidential candidates’ debate, Cain also said — in addition to the mountains problem — that he would support Israel in an attack on Iran if there was a “credible” plan.

“I would support Israel if it was clear what the mission was,” Cain said.

Two comments, Mr. Cain:

First, the Israeli Air Force or its missiles would have no problem in the year 2011 flying around, in-between or over those Iranian mountains that are between 11,000 and 14,000 feet high. (The highest mountain in Iran, Mount Damavand, located in the Alborz Mountains, along the Caspian Sea is approximately 18,000 feet high and easily avoided in any aircraft or missile raid.)

If there is any problem with finding and attacking Iran’s nuclear sites, it is not the mountains, but the fact that they are underground, hardened and dispersed. But I believe the Israel Defense Forces have a pretty good idea where they are and what to do about them.

Which brings me to the second point.

Believe me, Mr. Cain, that Israel has a “credible plan” to attack the Iranian nuclear sites when and if that becomes necessary. Also, I do not believe that you would have to worry about the mission not “being clear.”

You see, Mr. Cain, even in the open literature one can find detailed, credible plans for such a preemptive strike.

For example, already back in March 2009, the reputable Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS) published in superb detail, accuracy and realism operational “plans” for various Israeli military options to take out the Iranian threat, both by IDF aircraft and by an Israeli ballistic missile attack.

The report, titled “Study on a Possible Israeli Strike on Iran’s Nuclear Development Facilities,” includes detailed mission analyses, mission weapons payloads, strike force requirements, mission route profiles, optimum routes, specific weapons capabilities and effects, and even how the Iranian ground and airborne defenses will react to such attacks.

Also, detailed maps showing locations of Israeli and Iranian nuclear facilities, military and missile bases and sites, and (estimated) numbers and types of weapons—including nuclear—and aircraft and missiles orders of battle — and even the locations of all those mountains.

Finally, assessments of consequent environmental damages as a result of such a strike; of how the Israeli air defense and ballistic missile defense systems would perform against an Iranian retaliatory attack.

There may be many reasons for not launching an attack on Iran, but the “mountains in Iran” is not one of them.

Mr. Cain may want to take a peek at such plans before his next debate.

Wild Thing's comment.......

I am so sorry to anyone that is supporting Cain, the truth is there each time he opens his mouth why he is NOT qualified. He won't even study up to learn anything, he prefers to keep saying he will get those advisors when he wins the election. sheesh Hello voters we can do much better then this and it is RICK PERRY.

You want to know what has really been ticking me off big time???? I am just going to say it. If you are reading and listening to what Perry says he is leading the way in ideas and how to handle things, how to restore our country and make us strong again. BUT Newt is parroting Perry's Social Security stance, his Energy policy...China issues...how convenient that Newt now agrees with Perry but is making like he came up with the stuff. And Cain has been doing this too on some issues. I watch this happening and watch the polls as they ( Can and Newt) go up in gthe polls stealing Perry's ideas and Perry just keeps at it. Perry is the man of strength and the great ideas what to do. I pray one day he gets the well deserved credit for it.
These two Cain and Newt are not even shy about stealing from Perry they do it sometimes even during a debate. sheesh!

Amd the media and rino's just sit back and nod oh yes Newt has good ideas.

Rick Perry and Bachmann Disagree On Suspending Aid To Pakistan

Minnesota congresswoman Michele Bachmann and Texas Gov. Rick Perry are clashing over whether the United States should continue to provide more than $1 billion in aid to Pakistan. (

Wild Thing's comment........

Just watched a Frontline episode about the terrorist who planned Mumbai.
Of course he and his group were supported by the Pakistani military and the ISI.
I would really doubt any intelligence coming out of that cesspool. I disagree with Bachmann that we should give them any money.

Perry and Bachmann disagreed over suspending aid to Pakistan.

Perry would suspend aid until Pakistan demonstrates that it would be a trusting ally however Bachmann believes that to be highly naive and would continue aid to Pakistan because she worries that their nukes would fall into the hands of the Taliban or Al-Qaeda/

Cut them off. Freaking Bin Laden was being sheltered by their government! I agree with Perry! Scrap it out and start all over again after proven negotiations!

I have to share this too. LOL this is so funny.

Rick Santorum said, "Africa is a country on the brink." Ron Paul smirked. Herman Cain nodded in agreement.

My Herman Cain Problem.... by David Stein ~ Excellent Summary

My Herman Cain Problem

by David Stein

Recently, I’ve been having a spate of private arguments with some of my fellow GOPs regarding Herman Cain. I’ve found that, among Cain fans, it’s sometimes (not always, but sometimes) difficult to express reservations about their candidate of choice without getting attacked personally in one way or another. I feel about Cain the way I’ve felt in the past when friends whose opinions I genuinely respect have recommended a “must see” TV show, and after viewing it I find myself having difficulty understanding why my friends are so crazy about it.

So in the spirit of “who the hell needs friends anyway,” here are some of my reservations about candidate Cain.

Let’s begin with an easy one. Cain can’t stop putting his foot in his mouth. He’s damn near pathological about it. The Palestinian “right of return” flub, the “I think we already recognize their democratically-elected government (of Taiwan)” gaffe, the “no Muslims in my cabinet” claim and reversal, the “ban on mosques” claim and reversal, the “Gitmo prisoner exchange” claim and reversal, the “ascribing the most well-known lines of the Declaration of Independence to the Constitution” blunder, the “China is seeking nuclear capability” bungle, the “what’s a neo-con?” stumble, etc., etc. And this is only in the first few months of the primary.

But okay, Cain might become better-informed in the months to come. So let’s leave those concerns behind and move on…

The experience question. In next year’s general election, we have two very strong arguments to make regarding Obama’s failures. One is that Obama’s policies are bad. They don’t work. They’re destructive. But another equally effective argument is that Obama’s near-absolute lack of governing experience made him ill-equipped for the job of president. If we run Cain in the general, we lose the ability to use the latter argument. If we run someone who, impossible as it may be to imagine, actually has less governing experience than Obama, we can’t make Obama’s lack of pre-election governing experience an issue.

Now remember, a large percentage of independent voters – you know, the people whose votes we’ll need to win – don’t hate Obama. After all, a lot of them voted for him in ’08. It’s more that they’ve grown disappointed with him. He’s let them down. They don’t see him (as many of us do) as the bastard child of Mao Zedong and Rosa Luxemburg. They simply see him as a sad, sad failure.

These are the people who will be especially moved by the talking point that Obama was a poorly-qualified candidate ill-equipped for the most important job in the world. These disaffected independents will not be keen on replacing Obama with someone with even less governing experience. We run Cain, we lose one of our most effective strategies.

Cain supporters will argue that their guy’s experience in the private sector will make up for his lack of governing experience. I’m not sure voters will buy that; I’m not sure I buy that. Running a company is different from running a country. More importantly, Cain’s private-sector experience will count for nil if, God forbid, there’s a major terrorist attack in the months before the election, or if war breaks out in one of the world’s hot-spots. Cain has joked about his lack of foreign policy knowledge, and how he’ll learn on-the-job if elected. Heaven help us if we run Cain and, two months before the election, events create an environment in which a joke about not knowing the name of the leader of “Uzbeki-beki-beki-stan-stan” loses all humor.

By running Cain we’d be doing the unthinkable – running a man who’s FIRST TIME being publicly vetted is in a presidential election (Cain did run for the Senate in ’04, but he didn’t make it out of the primary, and was thus spared the scrutiny that comes with competing in a general election). With Cain as the nominee, 2012 would be our “crossed fingers” election. Let’s keep our fingers crossed that he stops making embarrassing gaffes; let’s keep our fingers crossed that he has no more skeletons in his closet (like the sexual harassment settlements); let’s keep our fingers crossed that he can control his temper once the heat really gets turned up; let’s keep our fingers crossed that nothing occurs on the international stage in the months before the election that would make his ignorance of foreign policy a major campaign issue.

In short, if 2008 was the Democrats’ year of “Hope and Change,” with Cain as our guy, 2012 will be the Republicans’ year of “Hope and Pray.”

“Thanks for the sound-bite, Herman. Sincerely, Barack.” Cain has already given the Obama re-election team a gift of immeasurable worth: He’s given them a “Kerry moment.” When John Kerry uttered the now-infamous “I actually voted for that bill before I voted against it” comment, he handed team Bush the best campaign commercial they could have hoped for. Cain hasn’t even waited until election year to give team Obama the one sentence they can play over and over again in their campaign ads: “If you don’t have a job and you’re not rich, blame yourself.”

Assuming, and this is a pretty easy assumption, that unemployment will still be a top (or the top) issue during the campaign next year, how exactly do you think that sound bite is going to play to voters? How can we blame unemployment on Obama’s policies if we have a candidate who’s on record saying that unemployment is the fault of the unemployed, not the government? Cain’s boneheaded comment can single-handedly dilute our most compelling argument – that we can accomplish job creation, and that Obama’s policies are responsible for the dismal job figures.

Cain supporters might counter that his “blame yourself” statement was referring specifically to the OWS protesters, not to the unemployed in general. And that might indeed have been Cain’s intent. But Cain didn’t qualify his statement to make clear that he wasn’t bashing all unemployed. It was a ham-fisted comment. For the record, Kerry also tried to clarify what he “really” meant with the “voted for it before voting against it” remark. Little good it did him. The sound-bite is what matters, not the footnote.

The race card. If Cain had responded to the Rick Perry “Negrohead rock” non-story, and the recent sexual harassment claims, by unequivocally refusing to play the race card, we’d all be applauding his character. Admit it – we would. So what does it say about his character that in both instances he pulled that foul card quicker than Robert Shaw pulling a fifth ace out of a loaded deck in The Sting? Whether on the attack (against Perry) or on the defensive (against the harassment charges), Cain seems to have no problem screaming racism. Personally, I see that as a serious character flaw.

And, frankly, when you can’t run on governing experience, character becomes much more important.

And on the subject of character…

“I did not say what I just said!” Cain seems to have no problem just…well, I’ll be blunt – lying. On camera. About something that happened ten minutes earlier. In June, while holding a press conference at RightOnline, Cain quite clearly said that he would consider taking “extra precautions” when appointing Muslims to his cabinet. He said this on camera, in a room full of reporters. About ten minutes later – at the same press conference, in front of the same reporters – he was asked what he meant by “special precautions” (the reporter said “special precautions” instead of “extra precautions,” but the doesn’t change the legitimacy of the question; what “precautions” was Cain referring to? It’s a completely appropriate question). Cain threw a temper tantrum and screamed “I never said I would use any special precautions.” He then had the audacity to claim that the “precautions” comment was a lie cooked up “by somebody on the Internet.”

Mind you, he said that to a room full of reporters who had, only ten minutes earlier, heard him say that he’d consider using “extra precautions” when appointing Muslims.

That was absolutely irresponsible. We can’t sugar coat what we see on that video. He lied, in a place and manner in which the lie was demonstrable and preserved for the record. What the hell are we supposed to make of that? Is he so easily flustered that he can forget something that happened ten minutes ago? Is he just reckless? Or, as others have suggested, is his entire campaign based on the strategy of “winging it?”

Which brings me to the current sexual harassment morass. Frankly, there’s only one aspect of this controversy that concerns me. Yes, the liberal press is biased against conservatives. Yes, the media would have almost certainly soft-peddled (or ignored) the harassment story if Cain were a Democrat. Yes, the very notion of what constitutes sexual harassment can be vague. Yes, some harassment complaints are baseless.

Yes, yes, yes. I know that. We all do.

Now, most of us can agree that team Cain didn’t handle the harassment scandal in a prepared and professional manner. But my concern is, did Cain lie through his teeth when the story became public?

Cain repeatedly claimed that the harassment charges were “thoroughly investigated” by the National Restaurant Association (NRA) and found to have “no basis.”

“I was falsely accused of sexual harassment and when the charges were brought, as the leader of the organization, I recused myself and allowed my general counsel and my human resource officer to deal with the situation. And it was concluded after a thorough investigation that it had no basis.”

The problem is, as of this writing, there’s absolutely no corroborating evidence of any “thorough investigation” by the NRA that found the charges baseless. In fact, the person who was head of the NRA’s human resources department at the time of the incidents claims to have no knowledge of any such investigation.

Cain has quite possibly wandered into a classic Nixonian “the cover-up is worse than the crime” sand-trap. Many Republicans (myself included) could live with a candidate who, twelve years ago. became embroiled in a “he said/she said” workplace harassment situation. Honestly, it’s not that big a deal to me. But what I can’t live with is a candidate who could look his supporters in the eyes and lie about a nonexistent report that supposedly cleared him.

If Cain lied about the exonerating report, that’s a MASSIVE red flag. As I said, at this point I really don’t give a damn about what happened with his female employees twelve years ago. What I care about is if Cain’s response to the crisis was to lie.

I think enough questions have been raised concerning Mr. Cain’s viability as a candidate to warrant a demand to know whether such an internal investigation exists, and what its conclusions were. Because, essentially, there are four possible outcomes:

1. There was no NRA internal investigation. Cain lied.
2. There was an investigation, but it found that the harassment claims had merit. Cain lied.
3. There was an investigation, but no conclusion was reached as to whether the claims were legitimate or baseless. Cain lied.
4. There was an investigation, and it concluded that the harassment claims had no basis. Cain told the truth.
Three out of four potential outcomes do not favor Mr. Cain. Those are not great odds. Now, for all I know, Cain is telling the God’s honest truth about the exonerating investigation. But he’s already been contradicted by one of the people who supposedly oversaw it. And it’s a simple fact that we really don’t know very much about how Cain would handle a major crisis if he were elected president.

So let’s at least find out how he handled this one. Either there is an internal investigation that cleared him, or there isn’t. If there is, that should be the end of the harassment scandal.

If there isn’t, I’d say the same thing about Mr. Cain’s campaign.

Wild Thing's comment.........

This is so stupid all these debates, there are just way TOO many of them. How the heck our the candidates supposed to raise funds, speak around the country, do the shake hands stuff all of it and at the same time do this many debates. I think the GOP is stupid and could care less about beating Obama, honest to God I believe that.

Never before have there been this many debates.

Mitt Romney Refuses to Call Obama a Socialist,Instead Says Obama Is Just a Liberal Democrat ~ Mitt Is Like McCain!

During his interview with Sean Hannity tonight Mitt Romney would not call Obama a socialist. Instead, the former Massachusetts governor said Obama was a typical “liberal democrat” like other democrats he’s dealt with over the years. Obviously, Mitt didn’t want to offend any of the media elites.

Wild Thing's comment......

I am shaking in my boots Mitt, such strong words.... " lliberal democrat" WOW that will put the fear of God in the enemy within. LOL

This reminds me of when John McCain answered that woman in his audience when she asked about Obama and McCain answered....." Obama is a man of honor, he is a good man and loves America".

Using Race Card (AGAIN) Herman Cain Mailer Tells Iowans He Will Win GOP Race Because Of Black Vote

Herman Cain mailer tells Iowans he will win GOP race because of black vote

Des Moines Register

In a new Iowa mailer, Herman Cain says he believes he will be the 2012 GOP nominee because he’s a descendant of slaves who can garner a large share of the black vote, he didn’t inherit a dime, he has traveled the globe for years, and he’s a believer in Jesus Christ.

“The news media and the Republican establishment are stunned!” says the first line of the seven-page mailer. “I am now the front runner in the race for the Republican Presidential campaign and the highly regarded Rasmussen poll shows me defeating President Obama.”

But then he asks Iowans to tell him which of the other candidates they’re supporting, saying “there are lots of good folks in the race.”

A “poll” asks people to check a box for a candidate among a list of nine in alphabetical order, including Gary Johnson.

Cain lists several points on why he thinks he will win the nomination, including that “as a descendent of slaves I can lead the Republican party to victory by garnering a large share of the black vote, something that has not been done since Dwight Eisenhower garnered 41 percent of the black vote in 1956.”

The letter mentions Ronald Reagan three times. “It’s true that both Ronald Reagan and I grew up poor, worked hard, and put our faith in God,” he says.

Cain says his “grassroots team is unmatched in Iowa” and the other early states, but that Mitt Romney and Rick Perry have a financial edge on him.

The final pitch asks Iowans to send a “personal reply to Herman Cain” with a donation of up to $5,000 per couple.

Wild Thing's comment......

( shaking my head) I am sooooo tired of the race card being played. Obama and the left do it all the time and to see a Republican candidate doing it, is disgusting! It harms our party too, it harms what the Tea Party movement kept telling me we were not about.

Those For Newt Gingrich Need To Read This! Newt’s New Strategy: Hide in Plain Sight

As of 2008, Newt Gingrich’s position on the science of global warming was essentially the same as Al Gore’s. True, he was advocating supposedly “conservative” solutions, as opposed to Gore’s expressly UN-oriented agenda. And of course no one is capable of sounding as moronically maniacal as Gore. Nevertheless, regarding the basic ‘theory’—that human activity is leading to a significant and potentially catastrophic alteration of Earth’s climate—they were absolutely of one mind.

In a previous article, “A Newt for All Seasons,” I explained in detail how the dynamic of this year’s primary race has favored the articulate, acerbic underdog, leading to his sudden rise in favor, as though Republicans nervous about Herman Cain’s personal history had simply turned up the next card, and found Newt. It is therefore vital that conservatives taking a second look at the former Speaker ask him—and themselves—the hard questions about his own history.

There is urgency in this matter, for a reason peculiar to Gingrich’s particular set of ‘issues’. Herman Cain’s supposed indiscretions are of a sort that could, and of course would, be exploited by Democrats and liberals in general, should he win the Republican nomination. The most serious concerns about Gingrich, on the contrary, are matters that can only be addressed during the primaries.

Aside from charges of hypocrisy, which could be used in a presidential race to undermine his support from conservatives, the biggest problem with his recent history is the extent to which he is guilty of pandering to—or even worse, actually agreeing with—leftists. This, then, is a concern that must be raised now, before it is too late, i.e. before he wins the nomination and thereby effectively silences all conservative objections until at least November 7th, 2012. And on no issue is this examination more imperative than the question of climate change.

Gingrich’s obfuscation

On November 16th, 2011, Gingrich appeared on the Mark Levin Show. Levin’s first question was very direct and straightforward. Gingrich’s response was, to be polite, obfuscation. Here is the exchange:

ML: Global warming—yes, no, or you don’t know?
NG: I think, I think that I don’t know, but I do know that I’m opposed to cap-and-trade, and I’m opposed to any kind of massive government response. I think there’s no evidence that justifies a large government centralized response of any kind right now. The most you can argue for, I think, is more research.

Let’s compare this directly to Gingrich’s past statements on this issue. As I have described in my previous article cited above, in 2007 he stood on a stage with John Kerry, one of the Senate’s leaders on this pseudo-issue. In a direct, prepared response to Kerry’s staged question about how to answer those in the Senate who resist the science of global warming, Gingrich said, “the evidence is sufficient that we should move towards the most effective possible steps to reduce carbon-loading in the atmosphere.” To Kerry’s follow-up ‘question’ as to whether these steps ought to be taken “urgently,” Gingrich replied, “And do it urgently. Yes.”

When he said “do it urgently,” what was the “it” he was referring to? More research? And when he said “the evidence is sufficient that we should move… to reduce carbon-loading in the atmosphere,” was this merely an alternative way of saying, “I think that I don’t know”?

Gingrich’s choice of words

Pay close attention, further, to this most articulate man’s choice of words, as he tells Levin that “there’s no evidence that justifies a large government centralized response of any kind right now.” What does he mean by “right now”? Is he suggesting that there might be sufficient reason for such action in the future? And if so, when? In addition, if a “large government centralized response” is not justified (yet), how about a small or medium-sized centralized government response? And how do we know, exactly, when a government response is “large”? Okay, so it’s ‘no’ to cap-and-trade. What about other actions, such as the EPA’s various assaults on individual liberty? Which ones are ‘too big,’ on this new Gingrich standard?

Indeed, if he does accept the Gore/Kerry position on the science, as he certainly did three years ago, then how does he justify his rejection of a large government response? The argument for such a response—or, what’s more, for a global, i.e. supranational response—is that this is a problem that cannot be solved by private, localized action, and that cannot be deferred until market forces come around to finding solutions. And if the science were true, the centralized response proponents would have a point. After all, if the long-term survival of a nation and its people were at stake, and specific types of human activity could be identified as the cause of this danger, then wouldn’t resisting immediate government action related to those activities be analogous to refusing to give the government authority to defend the nation against a known, approaching enemy?

The appearance with Kerry is merely one example, of course. Then came Gingrich’s 2008 public service announcement alongside then-Speaker Nancy Pelosi, paid for by The Alliance For Climate Protection, an organization founded by none other than Al Gore. Sitting on a sofa with the U.S. Capitol in the background, smiling at one another, all but holding hands, Pelosi and Gingrich told viewers about the importance of addressing the climate change problem. Here is the script Gingrich read into the camera:

“... [W]e do agree our country must take action to address climate change…. If enough of us demand action from our leaders, we can spark the innovation we need.”

What action do we need, and why must we demand it, if, as he told Mark Levin, the most the evidence provides grounds for is “more research”?

Lest it be argued in Gingrich’s defence that ‘back then’, a lot of people were caught up in the climate change nonsense, whereas now things are clearer for the rational observers among us, keep in mind the following:

First of all, ‘back then’, in this case, means 2008. Gore’s An Inconvenient Truth was released in 2006, won its Oscar in February of 2007, and Gore, along with the UN’s IPCC, was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in December of that same year. Global warming was all the rage as a liberal issue, to be sure. However, the debunking of global warming was also in full swing. By May 2008, more than 30,000 scientists (including over 9,000 Ph.D.s) had signed a petition rejecting the “settled science” of anthropogenic global warming. Conservative commentators of all sorts had been tackling the matter directly. Battle lines on the issue had been clearly drawn, and the direct link between the science and politics of climate was readily apparent, as symbolized by the UN’s IPCC, a panel made up of a combination of diplomats and scientists, which releases summary reports that expressly omit or bury the dissenting voices within the panel itself. No one as informed and connected to the political scene as the former Speaker could have failed to know this. Hence, his support of the science was not merely an acceptance of a mainstream idea that had yet to be questioned.

Secondly, the simplest tracing of the history of global climate change/warming/cooling reveals that at each stage of the narrative, the scientific claims were tied to specific or general policy proposals—proposals of an explicitly anti-industrial, anti-capitalist, and internationalist nature. Gingrich’s pretense, in his appearance with Kerry, of separating the science from the liberal agenda is bizarrely naive if it is not disingenuous. The science is, and always was, primarily a pretext for the agenda.

(This is not to say that every professional researcher who seeks to present supporting evidence for the AGW hypothesis is a leftist. Most scholars in any field are people who accept the presuppositions set before them as they enter that field. In fact, such acceptance is usually necessary for the sake of professional advancement, in addition to being the path of least resistance for an unoriginal thinker working in an intellectual setting. Every academic paradigm needs its worker bees. This includes politically-motivated academic paradigms.)

Perhaps I have taken the wrong tack on Gingrich’s global warming position. Perhaps he really doesn’t believe in it at all, in which case he was merely dissembling and pandering to liberals and independents when he staged that ‘green conservatism’ appearance with Kerry, or smiled smarmily at Pelosi in that 2008 public service announcement. There is a deeper issue here, regarding Gingrich’s motives and purposes. His coming-out party on climate change was not a small, personal decision which happened to find its way into an interview somewhere. As I have noted, it was a grand, planned event. He used the appearance with Kerry to stage an applause line, just as he has so effectively done during this year’s debates. Both then and now, he has been careful to orchestrate his crowd-pleasing moments so as to seem to be attacking an enemy shared with both the audience and the putative debate opponents on the stage with him. In 2007, it was Kerry, who nodded with sober approval as Gingrich embraced the science of global warming, and a liberal audience, who clapped and shouted their appreciation for his ‘enlightened’ position. In 2011, it is his Republican debate opponents, who nod or laugh on cue, and the audience of Republican voters, who cheer him on, as he eviscerates a common enemy, be it the liberal moderators or President Obama.

What has changed since 2008 is not the availability of opportunities to educate oneself about the science and political history of anthropogenic global warming. What has changed, to put it simply, is the American conservative movement. The difference, to put it even more simply, is the Tea Party. Three years ago, Washington insiders—of whom Gingrich is obviously one—saw the Republicans’ prospects as bleak. They were somewhat directionless, spineless, and, in the waning, unpopular moments of the Bush administration, powerless. They were looking at, and talking about, a generational climb back into majority status in the nation, and in Congress.

In that climate, Gingrich’s prominent photo-ops with important liberal Democrats—Kerry, who had recently received 48% of the popular vote in a presidential election, and Pelosi, the most progressive House Speaker in history—along with his decision to align himself, albeit provisionally, with Al Gore, the popular hero of campus leftists and UN stooges—was a reasonable, if cynical, course for a famously controversial Republican seeking to redefine his image. After the 2010 midterm elections, it became clear to anyone with Gingrich’s experience and wiles that no one could hope to gain the Republican nomination without attracting support from some of the Tea Partiers, and forbearance from the rest. Hence the outright rejection of his own past declarations on global warming. Newt the “green conservative” is no more. The same is true on the individual mandate, his consultancy for Freddie Mac, and even his more recent trashing of Paul Ryan’s budget bill.

In his November 16th interview with Levin, he defended the nature of his consulting work in this way: “[W]e said flatly from day one… I will not take any client who has a position that I don’t agree with, because my position was, if you want to come to me for advice, that’s fine, I’ll give you advice. But any position that I take in public is a position I personally believe.”

That strong statement of principle would be a lot easier to make if one felt that one could just “believe” anything that happened to be convenient at any given moment, and then, if it should become inconvenient, suddenly “believe” the opposite.

Global warming: either he’s lying now, to win over conservatives, or he was lying then, to win over liberals
Gingrich’s campaign strategy from this point on is clear, and is demonstrated in his appearance with Levin: deny the anti-conservative positions he has taken—indeed, offer strong arguments against them—and hope to run out the clock on those who would draw attention to his calculation.

With regard to global warming, at least, either he’s lying now, to win over conservatives, or he was lying then, to win over liberals. Which one is better? Which kind of dissembler do you prefer as the Republican nominee: one who pretended to accept the leftist/globalist agenda’s primary theoretical weapon of the moment, or one who really does accept it, but pretends not to when he sees the Tea Party as his surest path to power?

Wild Thing's comment......

I thought this was an excellent article and I liked the way it walks through the details step by step. It is not saying Newt is as evil as Obama, but it is a wake up call to know the truth.

Trying To Explain His Last Gaffe, Cain Stumbles Again And Says Taliban Posed Threat To Libya

Explaining last gaffe, Cain stumbles again

GOP presidential hopeful Herman Cain committed another potentially damaging foreign policy gaffe on Friday, when he implied that the Taliban posed a threat to the Libyan government.

Speaking at a news conference in Orlando, Fla., Cain was defending his performance in front of the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel’s editorial board earlier this week, in which he searched for words and sat in awkward silence after being asked if he agreed with the Obama administration’s policy toward Libya.

“Do I agree with siding with the opposition? Do I agree with saying that Gadhafi should go? Do I agree that they now have a country where you’ve got Taliban and al Qaeda that’s going to be part of the government?” Cain asked reporters. “Do I agree with not knowing the government was going to — which part was he asking me about? I was trying to get him to be specific and he wouldn’t be specific.”

The Taliban are an Islamist militant group based in Afghanistan and Pakistan, while Libya is in northern Africa.

It’s the latest in a series of foreign policy stumbles for the candidate.

In October, Cain said it wasn’t important to know who was “the president of Ubeki-beki-beki-stan.” And in the Journal-Sentinel interview, Cain said he couldn’t recall Obama’s position on Libya because he had “all of this stuff twirling around in my head.”

Cain has responded to the criticism by saying he would surround himself with worthwhile advisers to help him out with foreign policy.

Wild Thing's comment......

It almost feels like he is in a panic mode watching the video.

Michael Yon has this to say about Cain saying that about the Taliban...........
"That's like saying "Tibetans are invading Brazil, forcing Brazilians to cross the border into Greece." - Michael Yon

Herman Cain Campaign Won’t Allow Videotaping of Newspaper Interviews ~ Not A Good Sign For Cain To Do This

Report: Herman Cain Campaign Won’t Allow Videotaping of Newspaper Interviews

Herman Cain’s campaign will no longer allow videotaping of the Republican presidential candidate’s meetings with newspaper editorial boards.

Campaign spokesman J.D. Gordon says the new edict has nothing to do with the fact that Mr. Cain bumbled for several minutes earlier this week when members of the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel editorial board asked him, on video, whether he agrees with President Barack Obama’s handling of events in Libya.

In a TV interview here Thursday, Mr. Cain referred to his ceiling-staring brain freeze in Milwaukee as a “powerful pause.” He added that that his fumbling, during which he first asked the assembled editors whether Mr. Obama had supported the opposition in Libya, then said he’d gotten confused because he had “all this stuff twirling around in my head,” was a media-manufactured problem and that voters didn’t care. His sinking post-gaffe poll numbers this week suggest otherwise.

Mr. Gordon announced the new policy in the Airport Diner in Manchester Thursday, after reporters asked why Mr. Cain refused to be videotaped by C-SPAN during a meeting with the New Hampshire Union Leader editorial staff. The decision against tapng ultimately scotched the meeting, which had been scheduled for Thursday morning.

All day, both sides have been accusing each other of canceling the interview. The Union Leader called him a no-show, and the Associated Press quoted Mr. Gordon saying the newspaper canceled, citing differences over timing. “We would like to do something with them in the future,” he told The Associated Press.

According to accounts from both, the interview was originally slated to be about an hour long. When the C-SPAN taping was mentioned, the candidate balked. Later, the Cain camp said they needed to cut the time to 20 minutes, which Union Leader publisher Joe McQuaid dismissed as not long enough.

Of course, Mr. Gordon said, that doesn’t mean Mr. Cain will refuse TV interviews–he did three of those before lunch Thursday. He just won’t be doing on-camera sessions with editorial boards, which tend to be far longer, and feature the policy-heavy questions like the one that tripped him up in Milwaukee.

Wild Thing's comment......

For Cain to do this is very bad, is he going to do this if he made it to being President?

Sorry but Cain is a mess, he is just not qualified to be President. I am not saying he is a bad man , just too many things he does not even try to learn about. He keeps saying he will have people to call on as advisors later one when he is President. Now honestly has any other candidate ever repeatedly used that exuse for their lack of knowledge? I don't remember anyone that did this so often as he does. It does not build confidence.

Newt Gingrich Won’t Release His Freddie Mac Records ~ This is NOT Good!

Gingrich Won’t Release His Freddie Mac Records

Iowa Caucuses

It doesn’t appear that Newt Gingrich will be handing over his Freddie Mac records.

Gingrich in Iowa Wednesday defended his role in the troubled federally-backed housing agency that paid him as much as $1.8 million for consulting work.

He told reporters that he would release as many documents as possible.

But late this afternoon Gingrich’s campaign simply released a list of facts they wanted to reiterate. Spokesman R.C. Hammond said: “This is it” when asked when the public could expect the documents Gingrich had earlier said he would try to provide.

Here’s the press release:

Fact Sheet: The Gingrich Group and Freddie Mac
Atlanta, GA – ln response to a Bloomberg News story today about Freddie Mac’s hiring of the consulting firm, The Gingrich Group, over the course of an eight year period, Newt 2012 released the following fact sheet:

Newt Gingrich welcomes scrutiny of his record in public office and as a small businessman. Gingrich believes that properly vetting the potential next president is absolutely necessary in a free society and that a properly vetted nominee for the Republican Party will better be able to defeat President Obama and lead our country in rebuilding the America we love.

Gingrich has never lobbied for Freddie Mac, or any client, nor has anyone in any of the organizations he founded after leaving office as part of their work with them. Gingrich made a decision after resigning that he would never be a lobbyist so that nobody would ever question the genuine nature of his advice and perspectives. This prohibition against lobbying was made very clear to all Gingrich Group clients and strict internal protocals were developed to prevent lobbying. Today’s Bloomberg article confirms that Gingrich and his firm did no lobbying for Freddie Mac.

Nor did Gingrich, as part of his contract, advocate against pending legislation affecting Freddie Mac, as Gingrich was accused of doing by the moderator at the CNBC debate in Michigan. This, too, was confirmed by the Bloomberg News article this morning.

Freddie Mac was a small part of the client and revenue base of The Gingrich Group and Gingrich’s various small businesses. The Gingrich Group offered strategic advice to a wide variety of clients about a wide variety of issues, including IBM, Microsoft, The US Chamber of Commerce and more. Gingrich Group fees were comparable to that of many consulting firms.

Gingrich is broadly favorable of the concept of Government Sponsored Enterprises (GSE) but believes the financial crisis shows that Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac should be broken up and their smaller successors be moved off of government guarantees and into the free market.

Gingrich also is in favor of efforts to increase home ownership in America but as a conservative believes it has to be within a context of learning how to budget and save in a responsible way, the opposite of the lending practices that led to the financial crisis.

Wild Thing's comment......

Newt has demonstrated on going ... he is not to be trusted. He speaks conservative ideas, and votes for liberal ones. Check his record. He is a convincing speaker. Only it is all about showing his super intelligence. He is smart and he desires to be President of the United States of America. BEWARE! and Be Aware that is all I am saying.

RINO Romney on Romneycare: ‘I Am Not Going to Walk Away From That’

Romney on Romneycare: ‘I Am Not Going to Walk Away From That’

NRO

Don’t expect Mitt Romney to backtrack on his Massachusetts health-care plan at any point this election cycle.

“I am sure there are many people who have calculated, and perhaps correctly, that thehealthcare plan I put in place in Massachusetts is not good for me politically, and if I want to encourage my political future, I should say it was a mistake and walk away from it,” Romney told Fox News host Neil Cavuto in an interview set to air later tonight.

“You have seen a lot of candidates look at their biggest vulnerability, call it a mistake, and ask for forgiveness,” Romney continued. “In my case that wouldn’t be honest.”

He affirmed that he believes the health-care program was the “right thing” for Massachusetts then, although he conceded that it hasn’t “worked perfectly.”

“If it hurts me politically, it’s a consequence of the truth,” Romney added. “I am not going to walk away from that. It’s right for states to come up with their own solutions. I doubt other people are going try and follow the one we put together. Maybe learn from our experience. Maybe come up with something better. But the wrong course is to have the federal government impose its will on the entire nation.”

Wild Thing's comment......

I sure hope and pray Ann Coulter and the rest of her rino ilk do not get their wish with their wanting Romney to be President.

Before Leaving Office, Romney Staff Wiped Records From Servers, Bought Their State-Issued Hard Drives

Just before Mitt Romney left the Massachusetts governor’s office and first ran for president, 11 of his top aides purchased their state-issued computer hard drives, and the Romney administration’s e-mails were all wiped from a server, according to interviews and records obtained by the Globe.

Romney administration officials had the remaining computers in the governor’s office replaced just before Governor Deval Patrick’s staff showed up to take power in January 2007, according to Mark Reilly, Patrick’s chief legal counsel.

As a result, Patrick’s office, which has been bombarded with inquiries for records from the Romney era, has no electronic record of any Romney administration e-mails, Reilly said.

“The governor’s office has found no e-mails from 2002–2006 in our possession,’’ Reilly said in a statement. “Before the current administration took office, the computers used during that time period were replaced and the server used during that time period was taken out of service, all files were removed from it, and it was also replaced.’’

Wild Thing's comment......

This reminds me of the Bill Clinton regime,and also Obama. BOTH how they kept things from the rest of us.

No matter that the reason, it proves he is not honest and wants to hide something. Maybe how big a rino he is.

Herman Cain Causes One To Cringe Seeing How Unprepared He Is On Basic Foreign Policy and Domestic Issues

Herman Cain, in the midst of a Midwestern campaign swing, Monday when answering a simple question about whether he agreed or disagreed with President Barack Obama's approach to handling the Libyan crisis.

On Libya (listen for the part where he excuses his hemming and hawing by explaining that he has “a lot of stuff twirling around in his head”)…

The real Cain scandal: He can barely form a coherent thought on Libya when put on the spot and garbles collective bargaining 101 facts.

This Milwaukee Sentinel Journal editorial board session — all on video, in all its prolonged cringe-worthiness — sums up the problem with the Cain Train.

Republican presidential candidate Herman Cain said Monday that he believes public employees should be allowed to bargain collectively on wages and other benefits as long as it does not create an undue burden on taxpayers.

In Wisconsin Monday for two fundraisers, including a tailgate fundraiser at tonight’s Packers game at Lambeau Field, Cain met for a half-hour with Journal Sentinel reporters and editors. In the meeting Cain:

* Struggled to collect his thoughts and explain how his approach to the crisis in Libya would have differed from the actions taken by President Barack Obama.

…On the issue of collective bargaining, Cain said he supported the right of public employees to bargain collectively.

“But not collective hijacking. What I mean by that, if they have gotten so much for so many years and it’s going to bankrupt the state, I don’t think that’s good. It appears that in some instances, they really don’t care.”

Asked about last week’s vote in Ohio, in which the state’s new collective bargaining law was rejected by voters, Cain said that “maybe they tried to get too much and as a result it failed.”

Asked if the Ohio Legislature had gone too far in stripping collective bargaining rights for public employees, including fire and police personnel, Cain said that Ohio legislators “may have tried to get too much in one bill.”

Ohio’s collective bargaining law differed from Wisconsin in at least one key aspect: Wisconsin exempted police and fire personnel from the law.

In an interview with the Journal Sentinel last month, Cain said that he was “right in the corner of Gov. Scott Walker 100%” in Walker’s battle with public employee unions.

Cain also appeared to be unclear on the issue of collective bargaining as it involves federal employees. Asked if he thought federal employees should have the ability to bargain collectively, Cain said: “They already have it, don’t they?”

Told they didn’t, he said, “They have unions.”

The American Federation of Government Employees, which represents 600,000 federal government workers in 65 agencies, says that most federal employees don’t have collective bargaining over pay and benefits.

Cain Is A Lot Like Obama: Herman Cain's 'blame game': 5 enemies he's holding responsible

Herman Cain's 'blame game': 5 enemies he's holding responsible

This Week.com

The GOP hopeful swears the sexual harassment allegations against him are bogus. And he has an idea — many ideas, actually — of who's behind them

Herman Cain's "flailing blame game" has devolved into an utter mess, says Michael Gerson at The Washington Post. Facing years-old sexual harassment allegations that are threatening to derail his campaign, the GOP presidential hopeful has pointed his finger at many, many suspected culprits over the last two weeks while proclaiming his innocence. "I have never acted inappropriately with anyone, period," Cain said this week in a closely watched press conference. Who's behind the recent resurfacing of these (allegedly bogus) allegations? The Cain campaign has several theories. Here are five:

1. Rick Perry
When the story broke, Cain blamed the report on "factions that are trying to destroy me." One top Cain aide pointed the finger squarely at GOP presidential rival Rick Perry. "The actions of the Perry campaign are despicable," Cain's chief of staff, Mark Block, told CBS News. "Rick Perry and his campaign owe Herman Cain and his family an apology." Shortly thereafter, lacking proof, Block backtracked: "We want to move on with the campaign. Let's get over these things that don't mean anything to the American public."

2. The liberal media
Cain says "dishonest" journalists are making something out of nothing. After federal employee Karen Kraushaar revealed that she was one of the women who accused Cain of sexual harassment in the 1990s, Block told Fox News' Sean Hannity that she was the mother of a journalist at Politico, the news outlet that recently uncovered the old allegations. The Cain campaign wants to pawn off this scandal as "a liberal media conspiracy," says Alex Pareene at Salon. But "Josh Kraushaar, the reporter Block is referring to, no longer works at Politico." And he's not Karen Kraushaar's son.

3. Democrats
When Chicago-area single mom Sharon Bialek told the press this week that Cain had groped her after she sought his help finding a job in 1997, Cain found a new enemy to blame. Cain labeled Bialek a "troubled woman" who was being used by the "Democrat machine" to derail his campaign with false accusations. Of course, jokes Frank Michels at Salon, everyone knows a "secret Democratic cabal" called the "Democratic Strike Force" is "using science and espionage techniques to destabilize the Republican Party...."

4. Racists
Early on, a pro-Cain political action committee said "radical" liberals were out to bring down Cain, says Michael D. Shear at The New York Times. "This is what the Left always does," wrote Jordan Gehrke, the campaign director for AmericansForHermanCain.com. "They hated Clarence Thomas. They hated Allen West when he ran in 2010. And now they hate Herman Cain. The Left spews such hatred at black conservatives because they know that if the G.O.P. ever breaks the Democrat stranglehold on the black vote, they are done as a party."

5. People who hate businessmen
One of Cain's latest suspects, say Christopher Palmeri and Lisa Lerer at Bloomberg Businessweek, are unnamed political insiders trying to prevent a businessman from being elected to the presidency. The American people want someone from the business world to run the country, Cain said, but professional politicians are trying to make sure one of their own gets the job. "The machine trying to keep a businessman out of the White House is going to be relentless," says Cain.

Cain is one sick man! Look at the list and it tells a lot about Cain more then anything.

This guy has a lot of chips on his shoulder, much like Obama with his.

Mitt Romney Explaining His Strapping His Dog To The Roof Of His Car For A 12 HOUR Drive !

Pittsburgh, June 28, 2006

Governor Cruelty – Mitt Romney Straps Dog To Car Roof For 12 Hour Drive

Posted by Kevin Farrell on Aug 9, 2011 in Oh Hell No!

Towleroad has us reminiscing about the time the Republic Presidential Candidate Frontrunner, Mitt Romney went all “family values” in a Boston Globe. The Governor of Massachusetts described in detail the 1983 Romney family vacation. Snooze.

He and his wife dressed the kids, packed up the car, and got everyone safely buckled in. Finally, seeing no more room inside the car’s cabin, Romney tied the family dog, Seamus, to the roof of the car and proceeded on a twelve hour drive.

“What happens to a dog in this situation is precisely what would happen to any of us in the same situation: Trapped in a box for 12 hours would be no one’s idea of comfortable,” said Llope.

Dr. Russell Cumming, a professor of aerospace engineering at California Polytechnic State University, got a little more technical.

“At that speed, assuming sea level conditions, the poor little dog would have about 10 pounds per square foot pressing against his head,” said Cumming.

Nobel Prize-winning physicist Douglas Osheroff of physics at Stanford University said the dog crate on top of the car would change the air flow around the vehicle.

“Beyond a certain velocity, the air flow becomes turbulent,” said Osheroff. “The airflow isn’t going to be laminar,” which means it won’t have a uniform distribution.

Cumming said that’s bad news for Seamus.

“Chances are the windshield would only protect the front of the dog, but the air flowing around the windshield would buffet the side of the dog — that would be tiring,” said Cummings. “My wife’s a vet, and she would be more worried by the dehydration of the dog’s eyes under those conditions.”

That ten pounds of pressure buffeting poor Seamus was strong enough and stressful enough to literally squeeze the shit out of the dog.

“A brown liquid was dripping down the back window, payback from an Irish setter who’d been riding on the roof in the wind for hours,” the article said.

After his son noticed the liquid, Romney pulled the car over and hosed down Seamus at a gas station before putting him back into the crate on top of the car and continuing on with the drive.

It is illegal in Massachusetts (and the rest of the country) to tie an animal “in or upon a vehicle, or otherwise, in an unnecessarily cruel or inhuman manner or in a way and manner which might endanger the animal carried thereon.” Of course you already knew that. Because, you know, DUH.

Over 10,ooo complaints were left with the New York Times, after the paper published a follow-up to the Boston Globe’s original story. The general tone of the complaints suggest that Americans do not trust a man who not only tortured his dog, but bragged about it to a newspaper, to run the United States government.

We agree.

Herman Backtracks Once Again, This Time On His Saying “Princess Nancy” in a Republican Debate ~ Continues To Show Weakness As A Leader

Herman Cain, battling allegations of sexual harassment, said he regretted calling House of Representatives Democratic leader Nancy Pelosi “Princess Nancy” in a Republican debate on Wednesday.

Cain criticized Pelosi for not acting on a piece of healthcare legislation when she was speaker of the House.

“You didn’t hear about it in the previous Congress because Princess Nancy sent it to committee and it stayed there,” Cain said at the debate in Michigan.

Asked by CNBC after the debate if he regretted the remark in light of the sexual harassment claims by four women, Cain said, “That was a statement that I obviously should not have made, but I was trying to make a point.”

The former pizza executive has been leading in some polls of Republicans or tied with former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney. Cain's favorability ratings have slipped in some polls.

Wild Thing's comment......

Sorry but one of the thigns I admire about Rick Perry is how he stood strong when he said Social Security was a ponzi scheme. He did not backtrack, backdown or weaken. He would simply go on to explain it in more detail for those that tried to attack him for it.

Cain has backtracked so many times on things he has said and imo it shows weakness and or a person that opens his mouth without thinking more often then not. This is an example of how he tried to make amends with Nancy Pelosi after he called her......“Princess Nancy". He could so easily have brought up even some of the things she has done in acting like a princess, like demanding the doors be locked and keeping Republicans out from a vote, turning the lights off on the Republicans when they wanted to stay and debate Obamacare. The list goes on and on the things she has done.

Mitt Romney Afriad Of Questions??? You BET He is!

This is a Jon Huntsman ad attacking Mitt Romney for running away from tough questions from the media and from voters. Huntsman’s ad uses odd music to accompany video of Mitt Romney running, interspersed with clips talking about Romney not appearing on news shows, or taking questions from voters. The ad suggests Romney is afraid, using the phrase “scared Mittless.”

Wild Thing's comment......

This is interesting to me because on "Special Report with Bret Baier" weekday show at 6:00p.m. he has had each candidate on his show. Each of his panel ask the candidate questions then Krauthammer gets to say what they think to the candidate. Then at the end Brett plays some funny video of that particular candidate. So far several of them have been on Ron Paul, Bachmann, Newt ( Newt was on last nighit).

Rick Perry is scheduled as well to be on the show.

Guess who has refused to be on the show......ROMNEY!!!

Regarding Herman Cain.... it is a he said she said....she said he said....thing. Apparently there are more women, and his smoking gun man on his team went on Hannity last night and said a son of one of the women accusing Cain worked for Politico. That turned out to be a lie. sheesh They just won't stop with the lies and it sure looks like the Cain team want to keep it going. I think Cain himself would like it to stop but who knows.

Cain Accuser Gives Details and Krauthammer,Alex Castellanos and Bill Bennett Weigh In

A woman named Sharon Bialek, flanked by attorney Gloria Allred, said at a news conference Monday that the presidential candidate reached under her skirt and tried to push her head toward his crotch in a parked car in 1997. Bialek is a former staffer of the National Restaurant Association who says she was seeking to regain her job.

The Cain campaign immediately issued a statement declaring that “Mr. Cain has never harassed anyone” and dismissing what it called “bogus attacks.”

Bialek said she told two other people, one of them her boyfriend at the time, about the alleged groping, so corroborating witnesses could emerge. Allred says she has two such affidavits.

Republican Consultant on Herman Cain: You Can't Have As a Campaign Slogan 'Everybody's Lying But Me'
Alex Castellanos on CNN with Wolf Blitzer says "the dots now--you don't have to connect them, they're beginning to connect themselves."

Casellanos says in this clip that he talked to the Cain campaign this morning and they clearly weren't expecting this. "This is at a serious point now" and Cain saying 'I'm gonna ignore this' is not gonna get him there Castellanos says.

Krauthammmer Herman Cain
Krauthammer on Special Report tonight: "For Cain, this is gonna be something he may not be able to actually shake"

Radio Host Bill Bennett: Herman Cain Needs To Give a Full Press Conference Dedicated Exclusively to These Allegations

BENNETT: "Herman Cain and his campaign chief of staff, Mark Block, cannot go on as they have. There has been a pattern now that is both unhealthy for our politics and unhealthy for our polity.

Four women are not an insignificant number. One or two anonymous charges, perhaps. Three anonymous charges (where, as I understand the story, Cain knows of at least two of the women) plus one woman who went very public and opened herself up to all manner of investigation are a lot. It is no longer insignificant. Neither is it insignificant that the Cain campaign discounted the charges in the initial stories, saying they were based on anonymous sources, only to make a mockery by blaming other campaigns with less substantiation than the original stories.

If Herman Cain wants to be taken seriously as a public advocate for anything, never mind running for the chief executive and commander in chief of the most powerful and important and blessed country in the world, he needs to give a full press conference dedicated exclusively to this issue and these allegations.

I have watched long enough and held my tongue long enough to give him the benefit of the doubt, but can no longer say this is a witch hunt, “a lynching” to use his word, or any other euphemism. There are allegations out there that matter and they have stacked up. For we who led the charge against Bill Clinton on a number of related issues to continue to blame the media or other campaigns or say it simply doesn’t matter makes us the hypocrites as well"

Republican presidential contender Herman Cain will address the latest sexual harassment allegations against him at a Tuesday afternoon news conference, his campaign announced late Monday. ( CNN )

Bachmann on Cain: Great on Personality, Bad on Governing

Newt Gingrich on Cain: “The allegations are very serious,” Mitt Romney told Fox News host Bill O’Reilly during a radio interview. “I’ve got no counsel for the Cain campaign. I’ll let them keep their own counsel and I’m going to focus on my message.”“He is going to have to have a clear and compelling explanation for this whole story,” Gingrich said.

Rick Perry on Cain...

Texas Gov. Rick Perry suggested that the scrutiny was to be expected of any front-runner in the race: “Any time that you rise to the top of the polls… you’re going get to get whacked,” Perry told O’Reilly. “As you said” – he told the Fox News host – “it’s Herman’s turn in the barrel.”

Rep. Michele Bachmann has come out swinging with the strongest assault on GOP front-runner Herman Cain, since decade-old accusations of sexual harassment came to light last week.

“Everyone loves him. Who doesn’t? He has a great personality, but this is the leader of the free world we’re talking about,” Bachmann said in an interview with conservative radio host Scott Hennan, set to air Monday. Bachmann did not specifically address the harassment charges, but instead attacked him on a series of inconsistencies in his positions on issues.

“I think the real problem is how inconsistent he’s been on the issues… There’s been 10 instances in the last month where he’s changed his position on significant issues. On the issue of pro-life, he said the government shouldn’t intervene to protect life then he switched and said, ‘no they shouldn’t.’”

Cain has been accused of changing, sometimes in the same interview, his stances on abortion, a Constitutional amendment that defines marriage between a man and a woman, and whether the United States should hypothetically swap imprisoned foreign terrorists for American hostages.

~ snipet~

Stingingly, she said when asked of Cain: “People are looking for an adult in the room.”

Wild Thing's comment.......

Who the heck konws if any of this is true or not. It certainly is werid and it doesn't seem to stop. I have no idea how Cain can make it stop. But so far I don't think it has hurt his campaign.

Of all the candidates responses Michele Bachmann is the one that is self righteous. Bachman needs to sew up her machete mouth. Cain will self destruct on his own if that is what is in the cards. I do have to say that Cain needs to stop blaming others. That is probably the biggest thing for me that I am sick of.

Gingrich and Perry gave better responses imo.

The bottom line is that this election is not about this kind of thing and it is a distraction big time. I hope it stops so people can get back to what this coming year is about. We have got to get Obama out of office and he still has too many that support him and are drinking his stupid kool-aid. Very scary.

AP Exclusive: Third worker says harassed by Cain

WASHINGTON

(AP)

A third former employee says she considered filing a workplace complaint over what she considered aggressive and unwanted behavior by Herman Cain when she worked for the presidential candidate in the 1990s. She says the behavior included a private invitation to his corporate apartment.

She worked for the National Restaurant Association when he was its head. She told The Associated Press that Cain made sexually suggestive remarks or gestures about the same time that two co-workers had settled separate harassment complaints against him.

The employee described situations in which she said Cain told her he had confided to colleagues how attractive she was and invited her to his corporate apartment outside work. She spoke on condition of anonymity, saying she feared retaliation.

Cain's campaign declined to comment.

Wild Thing's comment......

Good grief.

You know Cain has been the only candidate not vetted, not really. Certainly not like all the others. This is why it is so important. We are not democrats and we are not wanting to elect another Obama that has too much hidden in his past. It is better for all of whatever there is to come out now and see what happens then to find out about things if he were to be elected.

Cain Like Obama Blames Others Not Himself, First He Blames Perry, Then Rham Emanuel Who Is Next The Pope or Bush??

Cain Gets Testy With Reporters: "Don't Even Bother Asking Me These Other Questions"

PICKET: Source - Rahm Emanuel involved in Cain sexual harassment accuser attacks

http://spectator.org/archives/2008/10/27/post-defeat-planners

Herman Cain's campaign is revealing suspicions about who is behind the story regarding the former unidentified employees who accused Mr. Cain of sexual harassment in the late 1990's.

According to a source who is friends with the Cain campaign, not only is the Rick Perry campaign involved but also the Mayor of Chicago and former Obama White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel is likely involved with the sexual harassment accuser attacks. A friend of the Cain campaign believes a National Restaurant Association (NRA) employee out of the Chicago office leaked the story to the Perry campaign via information and influence from Mayor Rahm Emanuel's office.

According to Politico's Jonathan Martin, Curt Anderson, the Perry advisor who the Cain campaign is accusing of leaking the damaging information, is denying the charges:

"I’ve known Herman Cain for about 7 years. I was one of several consultants on his Senate race in 2004 and was proud to help him. I'd never heard any of these allegations until I read them in Politico, nor does anything I read in the press change my opinion that Herman is an upstanding man and a gentleman. I have great respect for Herman and his character and I would never speak ill of him, on the record or off the record. That's true today and it's not going to change."

Herman Cain

Krauthammer: Herman Cain "Is Winging It," He Needs To Get The Story Straight or He's In Deep Trouble

“I think he should be prepared for things like this because he’s a serious presidential candidate. In fact what gets me, is look, I’ve talked to people in the news business today and they say this has been going around for at least 10 days. I find it hard to believe that the campaign didn’t know this was coming and was a badly prepared as they were. You don’t start out by saying there’s nothing to this whatsoever and then go into we don’t know anything about and then go yes I know it but I didn’t do it.”

UPDATE: Herman Cain told Greta Van Susteren tonight that his campaign had known that Politico was going to publish the hit piece since October 20th.

Wild Thing's comment........

I did not post about this till today. I honestly wanted to wait until we at least heard from Cain.

What I do not like are the flip flops. Cain was on various shows yesterday and his story changed several tiems.

Other then Cain's flip flops on this, does anyone else think this stinks of Romney???? Remember how he did this??

And here is another one about Romney using surrogates to undercut Sarah Palin Former Mitt Romney presidential campaign staffers, some of whom are currently working for Sen. John McCain and Gov. Sarah Palin's bid for the White House, have been involved in spreading ant-Palin spin to reporters, seeking to diminish her standing after the election. "Sarah Palin is a lightweight, she won't be the first, not even the third, person people will think of when it comes to 2012," says one former Romney aide, now working for McCain-Palin. "The only serious candidate ready to challenge to lead the Republican Party is Mitt Romney. He's in charge on November 5th."

Some former Romney aides were behind the recent leaks to media, including CNN, that Governor Sarah Palin was a "diva" and was going off message intentionally. The former and current Romney supporters further are pushing Romney supporters for key Republican jobs, including head of the Republican National Committee.

Sorry Herman you are dead on wrong!!! Herman Cain has been showing a lot lately that he has no real knowledge of our Constitution and no idea how our governmenrt works. This is just one of the issues he has messed up on.
Not good for this from a candidate. Maybe his team can help him on this for future interviews.

With NO Grasp Of The Constitution Herman Cain Says He Would Autograph Life Amendment

Cain would autograph life amendment

Herman Cain tried to clean up the running confusion over his position on abortion last night, but in the meantime opened questions about his grasp of the Constitution.

In an interview with David Brody last night, Cain said he'd sign a pro-life constitutional amendment if it crossed his desk as president.

“Yes. Yes I feel that strongly about it. If we can get the necessary support and it comes to my desk I’ll sign it," he said. "That’s all I can do. I will sign it.”

The only problem with that statement? Presidents don't sign constitutional amendments -- they're passed in Congress and then need to be ratified by the states, and the president plays no formal role in the process.

Candidates have in the past pledged to support such an amendment, but it's not clear what signing one would mean.

Wild Thing's comment......

Cain has no clue how government functions or what the president does.

I'm ashamed to watch Cain interviewed. He doesn't know what he is talking about. He is not a bad man I am not saying that, but he is just not the person to be in the most powerful office in our land.

Medical Help For Illegal Immigrants Could Haunt Mitt Romney

Medical Help For Illegal Immigrants Could Haunt Mitt Romney

Cain and Romney caught in campaign cash scandal

By Noam N. Levey, Washington Bureau

October 23, 2011

On the Republican campaign trail, he derides any such public aid. But the healthcare law he signed as Massachusetts governor allows it.

he Massachusetts healthcare law that then-Gov. Mitt Romney signed in 2006 includes a program known as the Health Safety Net, which allows undocumented immigrants to get needed medical care along with others who lack insurance.

Uninsured, poor immigrants can walk into a health clinic or hospital in the state and get publicly subsidized care at virtually no cost to them, regardless of their immigration status.

The program, widely supported in Massachusetts, drew little attention when Romney signed the trailblazing healthcare law. But now it could prove problematic for the Republican presidential hopeful, who has been attacking Texas Gov. Rick Perry for supporting educational aid for children of undocumented immigrants in Texas.

"We have to turn off the magnet of extraordinary government benefits," Romney said at the recent Fox News-Google debate in Florida.

The Massachusetts program, which cost more than $400 million last year, paid for 1.1 million hospital and clinic visits. It's unclear how many undocumented patients benefited because the state does not record that data.

The Romney campaign referred questions to Tim Murphy, who served as Romney's state health and human services secretary. Murphy said the governor never intended the Health Safety Net to serve undocumented immigrants.

"Our view when we signed the law was that all benefits would be for people in the commonwealth who were here legally," Murphy said, noting that the regulations implementing the program were written after Romney left office in 2007.

But Massachusetts officials involved in crafting the healthcare law said there was broad understanding when Romney signed it that at least some people who would benefit would be in the country illegally.

That's supported by language in the law. Although it explicitly bars undocumented immigrants from getting certain health benefits, it does not prohibit them from receiving aid through the Health Safety Net.

For example, the law mandates that only noncitizens "permanently residing in the United States under color of law" may receive government subsidies to buy health insurance.

The law also spells out that undocumented immigrants aren't eligible for the state's Medicaid insurance program for the poor, known as MassHealth.

But the Health Safety Net, in contrast, is off-limits only to people who "moved into the commonwealth for the sole purpose of securing health insurance" or who are eligible for another insurance plan.

"There is no question that lots of different kinds of people, including undocumented immigrants, obtain medically necessary services as result of this program," said John McDonough, a former consumer advocate who worked extensively on the healthcare effort in Massachusetts.

Wild Thing's comment......

Wow! This Romney has got a lot of gall to go after anyone on illegal immigration.

Krauthammer on Herman Cain: "Entirely Incoherent"..When You Combine Abortion With 9-9-9, It's Not Just He Hasn't Thought It Out, "He's Winging It"

Krauthammer: I saw him on Stossel. On abortion, entirely incoherent. One the one hand people ought to have choice, on the other life is sacred from the very beginning and abortion ought to be illegal. This isn't a complicated issue, it's either one or the other, it can't be both. Stossel was simply stunned and if you combine it with the 9-9-9 stuff, it's not just he hasn't thought it out, he's winging it and that's a real problem"

Wild Thing's comment......

Charles does not hold back that's for sure. Cain had a back week that's for sure. He can get back on track and more probably will. I think the only candidate that has not had much trouble so far has been Mitt. I wish the GOP would get behind conservatives instead of talking about backing Romneycare Romney.

And what the heck is going on with Ann Coulter, I don't get it. She wants Romney and was pushing for Christie. weird since she has writtien so many books on liberals.

Co-Author of 9-9-9 Plan Says Cain Should Dump National Sales Tax

Newsmax

One of the key economists who helped Republican presidential candidate Herman Cain draft his 9-9-9 tax plan is backing away from its most controversial component. Economist Stephen Moore said the criticism Cain endured during the GOP presidential debate Tuesday night shows his proposed 9 percent national sales tax might have to go, reports Fox News.

Cain weathered a storm of complaints over his tax plan at the debate in Las Vegas. Virtually every candidate took turns accusing him of pushing a scheme that would introduce new streams of revenue and hit the middle class hardest.

Moore said the debate further confirms his belief that the candidate should strip the sales tax out of his plan and replace it with a 9 percent payroll tax.

"They wouldn't be able to attack it," Moore told FoxNews.com. "If he had done that a week ago, then they wouldn't be able to attack the plan last night."

Moore said he likes the sales tax idea and thinks it would be "rocket fuel for the economy," but explained that it's just too much of a punching bag.

Moore first raised the idea of changing the Cain plan during an interview over the weekend on economist Larry Kudlow's radio show.

Wild Thing's comment......

Cain is not a bad man, and he can work on his plan if he feels it is necessary. Like I mentioned before I am not a Cain supporter but I am not anti-Cain. I just think Perry is a better candidate on every level.

Being President, holding the highest office in the land and it used to be the most powerful office in the world, That matters to me and it takes a special person to handle it, to listen to we the people, to have substance and experience as a leader.

Cain and Romney Caught In Campaign Cash Scandal

What would be a race to the role as the Republican nominee for president without a little money scandal?

Thankfully Herman Cain and Mitt Romney have taken care of that as things heat up within the GOP.

Reports began to circulate on Tuesday that presidential hopeful and former pizzaman Herman Cain has spent tens of thousands of dollars on campaign contribution cash towards purchasing copies of his own books. In all, his campaign transferred over $100,000 in cash to his Herman Cain T.H.E. New Voice company, a firm that publishes and promotes literature penned by the former chair of the Kansas City Fed and Godfather Pizza CEO.

David Donnelly of the national campaigns director of the Public Campaign Action Fund has tweeted that the relationship between Cain’s presidential run and business endeavors could open up a can of worms that could crush his campaign. By purchasing copies of his own commercially available books, Cain could climb up best-selling lists and not only personally profit but more or less buy himself extra media attention.

Though initially cast off largely as a joke candidate, Cain has polled favorably along with the other Republican candidates during the last few weeks.

In addition to Cain’s campaign cash scandal, the run of Mitt Romney is raising eyebrows as well as reports circulate over the politician’s ties with a financial consulting firm.

In only three months this year, Romney paid over $2.15 million in fees to the firm of SJZ LLC, who in turn manages the fundraising efforts of his current presidential campaign. Suspicion has arisen given that SJZ LLC founder Spencer Zwick served as finance director of Romney’s 2008 campaign and is currently business partners in Solamere, an equity endeavor run in part with the would-be president’s son. Additionally, John Miller, co-chairman of Romney's National Finance, is also an operating partner at Solamere. It doesn’t end there, however; JRM-C Management, also operated by Miller, has been conducting business transactions with the Romney campaign as recently as late April when the presidential candidate paid the company over $12,000 for air travel accommodations.

Both Cain and Romney have made it a major point of their campaigns that in a time of dire economic conditions in the United States, America needs a businessman to revitalize the country and get it back on its toes. It shouldn’t come as a surprise then that these have funneled money from their campaign into their checkbooks. Maybe these two do know how to make a buck or two?

Wild Thing's comment.....

I don't like hearing this about any Republican. But as far as Romney goes he is much more of a Democrat. It hurts the Republican party.

But it is in the news and needs to be shared so they will clean up their act if it is all true.

Once Again Herman Cain Backtracks On A Comment He Made ~ This Is Concerning If He Were To Be President!

Herman Cain says he may not have understood the question earlier in the afternoon when he told CNN's Wolf Blitzer prior to the debate that he would be willing to trade hundreds of Guantanamo Bay prisoners for a single U.S. soldier. Anderson Cooper asks him about it right after the candidates left the debate stage. "If I said that, I spoke in error."

Wild Thing's comment.......

I think this makes it 3 times or 4 that Cain has had to do this. The other times he said he was joking and one other time he said he did not have enough information or something. Shooting from the hip is ok, but Cain is having this backtrack a lot lately.

Study: Cain Tax Plan Raises Taxes on 84 Percent

On October 20, 2008, Herman Cain wrote, in an article in North Star Writers Group’s

Herman Cain's 9-9-9 tax plan would raise taxes on 84 percent of U.S. households, according to an independent analysis released Tuesday, contradicting claims by the Republican presidential candidate that most Americans would see a tax cut.

The Tax Policy Center, a Washington think tank, says low- and middle-income families would be hit hardest, with households making between $10,000 and $20,000 seeing their taxes increase by nearly 950 percent.

"You're talking a $2,700 tax increase for people with incomes between $10,000 and $20,000," said Roberton Williams, a senior fellow at the Tax Policy Center. "That's huge."

Households with the highest incomes, however, would get big tax cuts. Those making more than $1 million a year would see their taxes cut nearly in half, on average, according to the analysis.

Among those in the middle, households making between $40,000 and $50,000 would see their taxes increase by an average of $4,400, the report said. Those making between $50,000 and $75,000 would see their annual tax bill go up by an average of $4,326.

"It's very, very regressive compared to the current system, and that's largely because we're exempting capital gains, and we're taxing your spending with the sales tax," Williams said.

"People at the top end don't spend all their money and they get a lot of capital gains, so they are doing pretty well here."

Cain's campaign did not immediately respond to a request for comment. In the past, Cain has acknowledged that taxes would increase for some but says taxes would decrease for most.

"Some people will pay more, but most people would pay less is my argument," Cain said Sunday on NBC's "Meet the Press." "Who will pay more? The people who spend more money on new goods. The sales tax only applies to people who buy new goods, not used goods. That's a big difference that doesn't come out."

Cain's plan would scrap current taxes on income, payroll, capital gains and corporate profits. He would replace them with a 9 percent tax on income, a 9 percent business tax and a 9 percent national sales tax.

Cain's campaign has gained momentum largely in response to his tax plan, which is popular in part because of its simplicity. Several polls have the former CEO of Godfather's Pizza at or near the top of the Republican field, vying with former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney.

President Barack Obama told ABC News that Cain's tax plan would impose a "huge burden" on middle-class and working families. The president said Cain's plan would make sure the wealthiest pay less -- and replace the revenue with a sales tax hitting the less well-off.

Romney criticized the plan in a conference call with reporters Tuesday.

"I believe that you're going to find with the 9-9-9 plan Herman Cain has put out that the burden shifts more to the middle class, and I think that's the wrong direction to go," Romney said. "A decision to completely jettison our current tax system for a new system always has some merit, but then you need to get into it, to figure out who's this going to help and who's this going to hurt."

Cain's rise in the polls has brought increased scrutiny, and his tax plan has taken hits from across the political spectrum. Some don't like shifting the tax burden from the wealthy to the poor and middle class; others don't like the new national sales tax.

"Adding a retail sales tax to the federal government's powerful tax armada would be a terrible idea from a small-government perspective," Chris Edwards of the libertarian Cato Institute wrote in an opinion piece for The Daily Caller website.

William McBride, an economist at the conservative Tax Foundation, said Cain's plan to move away from taxing savings and investment "would be a very good thing for growth in the long run."

But, McBride said, the national sales tax would be a nightmare to administer because so many state and local governments already have sales taxes, and the bases are different.

In most states, food and medicine are excluded from sales tax. Cain has said his sales tax would be applied to all new goods -- only used goods would be exempt.

"It's not as simple as having all these jurisdictions simply tack on 9 percent and send it to the federal government," McBride said in an interview.

Cain has said his plan would initially raise as much money as the current tax system but do it more efficiently, leading to economic growth, which would produce higher tax revenues. The Tax Policy Center analysis agreed that the plan would initially raise about the same amount of money as current tax policy, about $2.55 trillion in 2013.

The Tax Policy Center compared taxes on U.S. households under current tax policy, with those imposed under the Cain plan. In using current tax policy, the analysis assumes that tax cuts enacted under former President George W. Bush -- and extended through 2012 by Obama -- would be extended.

The center did a separate analysis that assumed all the Bush-era tax cuts would expire at the end of 2012. Under that scenario, Cain's plan would still impose higher taxes on 77 percent of U.S. households, the report said.

The Tax Policy Center is a research group formed by two Washington think tanks: the Urban Institute and the Brookings Institution. Researchers at the center regularly testify before Congress on tax policy. The center's analyses during the 2008 presidential campaign were widely circulated.

The center said researchers tried to consult with Cain's advisers to make sure they were interpreting the plan correctly, but they had not heard back.

Wild Thing's comment......

During the debate Cain kept repeating " apples and oranges" instead of being clear on an answer to explain his plan. Several of the candidates kept asking Cain to make it more clear and he just kept saying apples and oranges. weird. My husband Nick said when this was all happening, Cain is confusing people and it's not good.

Herman Cain's Position On TARP Not Good! Very Disappointing!

TARP, the Troubled Asset Relief Program (TARP) is a program of the United States government to purchase assets and equity from financial institutions to strengthen its financial sector that was signed into law by U.S. President George W. Bush on October 3, 2008. It was a component of the government’s measures in 2008 to address the subprime mortgage crisis.

Herman Cain’s position on TARP:

Far from Nationalization, Purchase of Bank Stocks Is a Win-Win for Taxpayers

Earth to taxpayers! Owning stocks in banks is not nationalization of the banking industry. It’s trying to solve a problem.

The unprecedented financial crisis has caused the Treasury of the United States to take unprecedented measures to help solve the problem of frozen credit and cash flow for U.S. businesses.

Most of us had dreams of what we wanted to be when we grew up as children. Some of us wanted to grow up and become a fireman, a policeman, a doctor, a nurse, a lawyer, a teacher, an actor, an engineer, a writer, a dancer, a chef or any number of other professions.

But some of us wanted to own a bank because that’s where the money is!

Wake up people! Owning a part of the major banks in America is not a bad thing. We could make a profit while solving a problem.

But the mainstream media and the free market purists want you to believe that this is the end of capitalism as we know it. It is not for several reasons that they have conveniently not explained.

First, instead of buying toxic mortgage-related assets of banks as originally proposed, the Treasury has changed tactics and will buy equity positions called preferred stocks, which gives us as taxpayers an ownership stake in their success for a limited period of time.

Preferred stock means we get paid a dividend before any other stockholders get paid a dividend when they make a profit. You got a problem with that?

Second, the purchase agreement between the Treasury and the participating banks has an incentive for the banks to re-purchase the stock back from the Treasury within five years.

If the banks do not re-purchase the stock in five years then we get a bigger dividend until they do re-purchase the stock. That’s a good deal!

The free market purists’ objection to this is that it smacks at government control of the banking industry, which is called nationalization. They are correct. It smacks, but it is not nationalization because that would require the government to own at least 51 percent of the entity for an indefinite period of time.

The ownership by the taxpayers is going to be relatively small and nowhere near the amount needed to be called nationalization. So what’s the problem?

The problem is economic illiteracy and media incompetence. Some people want to continue to fan the flames of anger and outrage over how we got into this mess in the first place. Anger and outrage will not solve the problem.

Unprecedented problems require unprecedented solutions. The actions by the Treasury are a win-win for the taxpayer. But the mainstream media does not get brownie points for reporting win-win solutions for the taxpayers. Their focus is doom and gloom.

These actions by the Treasury, the Federal Reserve Bank and the actions by the Federal Depositors Insurance Corporation (FDIC) are all intended to help solve an unprecedented financial crisis. Unlike steps taken prior to and during the Great Depression, these actions have a high probability of success.

In order for these collective actions to work, the media needs to calm its crisis rhetoric, and Congress needs to just shut up with its political rhetoric.

Now don’t tell Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid, but if this works, and I believe it will, the Bush Administration will have gotten this one right.

As we say in the South, y’all hush!

Cain’s TARP talk, praise of the Fed could hurt him with conservative voters

Mitt Romney’s Troubling Appointments

Businessman Herman Cain has shot to the top of the polls with support from Tea Party members, but his backing of the Troubled Asset Relief Program and opposition to auditing the Federal Reserve could hurt him with those same voters.

Levi Russell, the spokesman for the fiscally conservative group Americans for Prosperity, said that Cain will have to explain his stances on these issues if he is to remain a first-tier candidate.

“Among the Tea Party audience, the TARP bailout is something they’re adamantly against, and they’re going to absolutely need to hear more from him on this issue to be comfortable with him,” said Russell. “I don’t know one Tea Party activist who’d say it’s a bad idea to audit the Fed, that’s not a popular position for him to be staking out.”

Cain served as chairman of the Kansas City Federal Reserve in the mid-1990s and, in Tuesday’s debate, expressed his admiration for former Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan.

“The way Alan Greenspan oversaw the Fed and the way he coordinated with all of the Federal Reserve banks, I think that it worked fine back in the early 1990s,” Cain said.

Cain’s praise of Greenspan drew a sharp rebuke from Paul, who called the former chairman a “disaster” — to loud cheers from the audience.

At another point, Paul quoted Cain as calling those who wanted to audit the Fed “ignorant.” Cain said he was being misquoted, but that quote has been unearthed and verified.

“I think it is going to hurt him,” Ivers said. “He’s contradicting himself, he’s making false claims to say there’s nothing to learn and it’s going to hurt him in Iowa.”

Craig Robinson, a former Iowa Republican Party political director who now runs the influential conservative news website The Iowa Republican, agreed that those issues could hurt Cain.

“Just like Rick Perry was vetted through these debates, Cain will be vetted through his debate performances and what he said in news interviews,” he said. “Some of the things he said, especially the Greenspan stuff, is really out of line with the Tea Party movement, and at some point that will come home to roost.”

Cain’s Sales Tax Would Hurt Consumer Spending

Bloomberg

Republican presidential candidate Herman Cain’s plan to create a national sales tax would hurt retailers, threaten economic growth and shift the tax burden onto the middle class and poor, tax experts and business groups said.

Cain’s so-called 9-9-9 plan, which would replace the current tax code with a system of three separate taxes of 9 percent each, has boosted his popularity among voters. The former chief executive officer of Godfather’s Pizza has surged in polls in recent weeks, and a Wall Street Journal/NBC News poll released this week put him in the lead.

Tax experts and business groups interviewed yesterday don’t like his tax plan as much as voters. They said it would shift the burden to middle-income and poor families and would hurt sales across the economy, at least in the short term.

“There will be a noticeable decline in consumer spending for some years,” said Rachelle Bernstein, vice president of the National Retail Federation, based in Washington, in an interview. “We know that that has an impact on consumer spending and GDP.”

Consumer spending accounts for about 70 percent of the U.S. gross domestic product.

Cain has proposed a 9 percent sales tax on all goods and services, another 9 percent on personal income and the third on corporate gross income. During the debate in New Hampshire sponsored by Bloomberg News and the Washington Post/

Conotimue article please CLICK HERE, thank you.

Wild Thing's comment......

The more I learn about the 9-9-9 plan the more I do not like it at all. Cain's plan is a deal-breaker for most senior citizens The 9-9-9 plan will not fly with retirees, and that's probably the largest voting block in this country, AND GROWING FAST! My response to 9-9-9 is no. He apparently hasn’t thought through the implications of it.

Also Cain seriously needs to clarify his conception of individual state's laws regarding the Second Amendment.

Mitt Romney Bashes Contract With America

Mitt Romney On The Contract With America (Romney Bashed It)

"Um, let me tell you in my view it is not a good idea to go into a contract like was organized by the Republican party in Washington laying out a whole series of things which the party said these are the things we are gonna do. I think that's a mistake. I think instead that if you wanna get something done in Washington you don't end up picking teams with Republicans on one side and Democrats on the other entering into a contract and saying ok were all gonna do this and if course then that works then the other side feels like they are the loser, but if it wins they feel like they are the winner. I don't like winners or losers in Washington..."

Wild Thing's comment.........

Romney is one of those Postmoderns who think the highest principle is “tolerance”. That supersedes all other virtues....and the only thing that is not tolerated is intolerance (which are people with virtue who won’t cave into evil). He thinks it is “good” to cave into evil ideas....to “get along”.
We used to think that those who would negotiate with the devil were evil. They still are...but Romney thinks it is good to compromise with the devil.

One Of Obama's CZARS, JOHN HOLDREN, Was An Appointee of Mitt Romney!

Mitt Romney’s supporters have been dogging Governor Perry on him acting as Texas campaign manager for Al Gore’s abortive 1988 presidential run as one of the Seven Dwarfs. The critique runs, dishonestly I might add, that Al Gore was an environmental kook then, ergo Perry is an environmental kook. Because something.

This is just balderdash. In 1988, Al Gore was a moderate-conservative senator from Tennessee who was a very attractive candidate. His descent into self parody started much later.

I rarely resort to publishing oppo material circulated by campaigns but I am making an exception today. File this particular story under “sauce for the gander.”

If personnel equal policy we have a hint from Mitt Romney’s appointments while governor of Massachusetts what his administration will look like. Van Jones may not be recalled but it may not make much difference.

In 2003, Romney chose a hard core environmental activist to be Secretary of Commonwealth Development. In this position he was charged with developing a scheme to restrict “greenhouse gas” emissions. According to the Wall Street Journal

Just days after his 2002 election, Mr. Romney hired Douglas Foy, one of the state’s most prominent environmental activists, and put him in charge of supervising four state agencies. … With Mr. Foy by his side, Mr. Romney joined activists outside an aging, coal-fired plant in 2003 to show his commitment to the emissions caps. “I will not create jobs or hold jobs that kill people, and that plant, that plant kills people,” he said

But when it became obvious that he would not win reelection as governor, Romney set his sights on the GOP presidential nomination. In remaking himself he repudiated his own secretary carrying out his own plan.

Significantly, two of Romney’s appointments have how found a home in the Obama White House.

Gina McCarthy, the chief EPA clean air regulator, also worked as an environmental regulator for then-Governor Romney. Her role now is as point guard (nyuk) in the Obama Administrations fight to make coal fired electric generating plants extinct.

EPA Administrator Lisa Jackson has taken most of the fire from Republicans as her agency rolls out a slew of controversial new climate and clean air rules. But McCarthy, the EPA assistant administrator of the Office of Air and Radiation, has taken on much of the heavy lifting of writing, structuring, and implementing the rules.

“Lisa’s the coach and Gina’s the quarterback” in the work of rolling out new clean air regulations, said Daniel Weiss, an energy and climate policy expert at the Center for American Progress, a liberal think tank with close ties to the Obama administration. “She’s running the plays, improvising on the line.

Another Romney environmental adviser in the effort to regulate “greenhouse gases” is now Obama’s Director of Science and Technology Policy, John Holdren. Dr. Holdren has some sick views:

President Obama’s “science czar,” John Holdren, once floated the idea of forced abortions, “compulsory sterilization,” and the creation of a “Planetary Regime” that would oversee human population levels and control all natural resources as a means of protecting the planet — controversial ideas his critics say should have been brought up in his Senate confirmation hearings.

Those plans include forcing single women to abort their babies or put them up for adoption; implanting sterilizing capsules in people when they reach puberty; and spiking water reserves and staple foods with a chemical that would make people sterile.

To help achieve those goals, they formulate a “world government scheme” they call the Planetary Regime, which would administer the world’s resources and human growth, and they discuss the development of an “armed international organization, a global analogue of a police force” to which nations would surrender part of their sovereignty

Wild Thing's comment......

Holdren is a real sicko he is for sterialization and all kinds of things. If Romney wins it will be in some ways a lot like more of Obama imo.

As Cain Continues To Race Bait....Cain Now Also Says He ‘Would Not Be Comfortable’ As Perry's Running Mate

Here is video of Texas Gov. Rick Perry telling Fox News’ Juliet Huddy that he knows “for a fact” that his family painted over the word “Nig*erhead” on a rock at their hunting camp in “1984″ shortly after they began using the camp. Perry said they found the word “very offensive.”

“All of us agree that the word that was on that rock is a very offensive rock and a very offensive word. At the moment we had to move to paint over that rock, we did. . . . I think there were some very much and strong inconsistencies and just infactual information that was in that story. I know for a fact in 1984 that rock was painted over. It was painted over very soon. . . . My family did that. We painted over that rock, and it stayed that way. I have no idea where or why people would say that they had seen that rock, because that’s just not the fact.”

Cain Says He ‘Would Not Be Comfortable’ As Perry's Running Mate

National Journal

Republican presidential candidate Herman Cain said on Thursday that he would definitely consider an invitation to run as the eventual nominee’s vice president, except if the nominee turns out to be Texas Gov. Rick Perry.

Cain, who rocketed to the top tier of the GOP field in several recent polls, was asked by reporters on the campaign trail for his thoughts on a hypothetical invitation to run as the eventual nominee’s No. 2. After offering the obligatory comment that he intends to be the nominee, Cain said, “Quite frankly, based upon Governor Perry’s position on some issues, I would not be comfortable being his vice presidential nominee.”

Cain said his concerns about Perry include "being soft on the border, issues relative to tuition for children of illegal aliens." As governor, Perry supported legislation offering in-state college tuition for the children of illegal immigrants, which has become a flash point in the campaign. "And I haven’t totally gone through all of his positions, but a lot of positions I have questions with," Cain said.

Cain, who is black, was also critical of Perry after the Washington Post reported on Sunday that his family owned a Texas hunting camp once known as "Niggerhead," a word that was painted on a rock near the camp’s entrance. Perry has maintained that his father painted over the word as soon as he bought the property in the 1980s.

Of a vice presidential slot in general, Cain said: "I would not say no to being vice president of the United States. But it would depend upon who got the nomination. I will support who gets the nomination. I know I have said that there are some people right now who I cannot support, but I wouldn’t say no to it. I could say yes. But it has to be someone who I believe I can complement them in their job by being able to bring my skills to the table."

THIS IS WHY WHAT HERMAN CAIN HAS DONE ON THIS SUBJECT ( about the rock) IS DANGEROUS IT PROMOTES THIS KIND OF THING. Herman Cain is in the same league as Rep Jackson Jr. and his attacks on Perry. Cain needs to STOP this crap now. And even make a statement to Jackson as well. Allen West took the high road and spoke out about this was a NON story. Applause for Allen West and Boo's for Cain! I expect this shit from Jackson but not from a fellow Republican. ~ Wild Thing

Rep. Jackson Jr. introduces resolution slamming Perry over offensive ranch sign

Why Cain's Latest Unforced Error Matters

Rep. Jesse Jackson Jr. (D-Ill.) on Thursday introduced a House resolution that calls on GOP presidential candidate Rick Perry to apologize for his family's decision to continue to lease a hunting ranch that once featured a stone at the entrance painted with the racially-offensive name "N-----head."

Jackson's resolution, which he read in its entirety on the House floor, also called on Perry's Republican rivals to condemn his use of the ranch's name, and asks Perry to condemn the use of the word as "totally offensive and inappropriate." It also asks him to supply a list of lawmakers who visited with Perry at the ranch over the years he used it.

Jackson's resolution was based on news reports that said Perry's family continued to use the West Texas hunting ranch for several years when "N-----head" could still be seen on the painted rock. Perry's campaign has said the word was painted over in 1983, but news reports note that others disagree with that account.

The ranch is still referred to by that name by some in Texas.

The resolution adds that when presented with this complaint last week, Perry responded by saying the word on the rock is an "offensive name that has no place in the modern world." Jackson said this implies that "it may have been OK and had an appropriate place in that community when he was growing up."

The presiding officer of the House said Jackson's resolution would be printed in the Congressional Record, but that House leaders would decide the question of whether it can be treated as a privileged resolution later.

From Rush Limbaugh... href="http://www.rushlimbaugh.com/daily/2011/10/03/herman_cain_piggybacks_on_wapo_s_perry_smear_and_obama_s_debate_lie">Herman Cain Piggybacks on WaPo's Perry Smear

"You have the Washington Post with an unsupported nonstory, and here comes Herman Cain piggybacking on it trying to capitalize; essentially letting the mainstream media (in this case, the Washington Post) set the narrative. I'm gonna tell you, this is really disappointing to me. Herman Cain."

And this from Dan over at his own blog:

Regarding: "Herman Cain said Thursday that he would consider an invitation to join an eventual Republican presidential nominee as a vice presidential candidate — unless the nominee is Rick Perry."

It's a foolish statement on more than one level.

I didn't open up my browser thinking, okay, Palin's out, it's time to choose a candidate. In fact, I remain open to any conservative to take the first battle to Romney. Herman Cain's statement above forced that choice on me. He is saying to conservatives, in effect, it's Rick Perry or it's me. While that's not exactly true, as others remain in the race, as regards Perry versus Cain, fine. Cain wanted an answer, he got it as far as I'm concerned. Otherwise, I would have been perfectly content to watch Perry and Cain and whomever else bang heads as we go forward.

If Cain can't keep himself from saying things that only, shall we say, bang himself, fine. As it isn't the first time, I'll just assume he enjoys doing it, for some strange reason.

Romney okay in the White House, Perry not okay? Huh? Herman! What the hell is on that pizza you been eating, or are you just sniffing the fumes as it burns in the oven?

Wild Thing's comment......

Shame on Cain.

Cain is missing an opportunity to send a powerful message to the democrats and the media that says race card politics is no longer acceptable. He just won't stop his race baiting. I sure as heck to NOT want a President that continues the race bating like Obama has been doing and Cain is doing just that.

Then regarding the very stupid comment about being a VP but not Perry's. Good grief. Herman Cain is wrong with you. Also I notice he never attacks Romney only Perry and that is even before his pulling the race card on Perry. Cain is a Romney guy to be sure. He previously endorsed (RINO) Mitt Romney: In 2008 and now would accept his invitation to be Romney’s VP in 2012. Hmmmmm not good.

Cain Jabs Palin Again Over 'flavor the week' Comment ~ Cain Needs To Get Off This Race Baiting

CNN Political Ticker

Rising GOP presidential candidate Herman Cain turned Sarah Palin’s words against her Wednesday, saying he's unconcerned about a potential White House bid by the former Alaska governor as she’d be the “flavor of the week.”

"The thing about Cain supporters is we build, and then we build, and we build," Cain said Wednesday at a book signing in Florida. "They don't defect. My supporters aren't going to run to the flavor of the week."

Palin previously knocked Cain's recent surge in the polls, casting him as the "flavor of the week" after he won a much-watched Florida straw poll nearly two weeks ago.

But this isn't the first time Cain, former CEO of Godfather's Pizza, showed his pique at Palin’s ice cream analogy.

In an appearance on "The Tonight Show with Jay Leno," Cain joked Friday that his "flavor" was Haagan-Daas Black Walnut.

"Substance, that's the difference. I got the substance," Cain told Leno. "I'm the Black Walnut. It lasts longer than a week."

Wild Thing's comment.........

This makes the fourth time that I know of Herman Cain has made a point of bringing this up since Sarah said that about his being the flavor of the week. sheesh.

As you all know I have either party playing the race card. We have seen way too much of it from Obama and his side of the isle.

I have always respected Herman Cain and so I hate this even more coming from him. He needs to let this go including the thing he has toward Gov. Rick Pery about the rock. But so far Cain is using both of these things and not giving up.

Just like the video I posted of Allen West and how he reacted. I wish Cain had done the same thing and taken the high road. The evidence is there that the whole rock thing was taken care of and why Cain has decided to ignore the truth is very troubling.

RACIST CNN's Lemon Asks Herman Cain If He 'Stands a Chance' With 'Mostly-White Party In a Mostly-White State'

CNN's Lemon Asks Herman Cain If He 'Stands a Chance' With 'Mostly-White Party In a Mostly-White State'

Congressman Allen West (LTC. Ret) Warns Hateful, Radical Leftists: Don't Mess with Me!

At the Iowa State Fair, CNN's Don Lemon asked Republican presidential nominee Herman Cain if he could win the Iowa vote for the Republican nomination and for president, given that Cain belongs to a "mostly-white party" and is campaigning in a "mostly-white state."

Lemon had said the two had a "passionate conversation" prior to going on air, where he asked Cain "do you think in a party – in a mostly-white party in a mostly-white state, did you really stand a chance, not only of a nomination, of becoming President?"

A partial transcript of the interview, which aired on August 12 at 12:02 p.m. EDT, is as follows:

DON LEMON: Speaking over on the soapbox, and really giving some interesting – and straightforward talk. And we had a – let's say a passionate conversation afterwards. And the reason we did is because you said you were an against-all-odds person, and quite honestly I said to you do you think in a party – in a mostly-white party in a mostly-white state, did you really stand a chance, not only of a nomination, of becoming President?

HERMAN CAIN, GOP presidential candidate: I really think that I have a chance of – getting the nomination, becoming President, because my experience from 2004, when I ran for the United States Senate, and I've traveled to all 159 counties in Georgia, color didn't matter. It wasn't about color.

LEMON: You will be up against someone who has a majority of the African-American vote, and who has – will have, probably, the majority of the liberal vote.

CAIN: Let's just say he temporarily has the majority of the African-American vote. Based upon my experience of being on the radio for five years, I know that is changing. And so I don't believe he's going to capture the majority of the African-American vote if I – when I get the nomination.

Wild Thing's comment......

IMO that is a horrible racist question. And this CNN jerk knows it too and so does CNN. They also know that the Tea Party movement has many, many blacks in it and many that gave a speech at the various rallies. Plus they fail to remember that Republicans backed and supported Clarence Thomas, JD Watts, Allen West and others. And what did the left call each one of these fine men???? Uncle Toms and all kinds of things.

The LEFT only things a black man is OK if he is a DEMOCRAT.

I am so sick of this race card BS from the left.

And Herman Cain is a good man, an honorable man, I have a lot of respect for him. He also has a great personality and one that just listening to him speak makes a person feel better.

He was on wirth Sean Hannity last night too and he even broke into a song. I looked all over for the video of it but there isn't one yet.

Congressman Allen West (LTC. Ret) Warns Hateful, Radical Leftists: Don't Mess with Me!

Fox News video clip of Congressman Allen West (LTC. Ret)

THIS MAN SERVED HIS COUNTRY WITH HONOR! He deserves FAR better treatment than he's getting from the hate-filled leftist Democrats

West to Critics: Beware Whom You Target

Rep. Allen West (R-Fla.) used an email to constituents to respond to a threat against his Florida office last week and to warn critics to "be careful of whom you are choosing to employ these tactics against."

Last week, West's Florida office received an envelope containing white powder and a letter with derogatory remarks directed at the congressman. A hazmat team later determined the powder wasn't harmful.

"This incident, is just another in several incidents that have occurred over the last couple of years and, have put me in quite a bad mood," West wrote in an email sent to constituents Tuesday.

"He offered the example of a "liberal blogger publicly stating that he wanted to 'skin me alive,' " and a protest outside his office led by Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D-Fla.) "castigating me as a 'misogynist.'

"I find it interesting that in all of these instances, the media simply dismissed the incidents," West said. "One might wonder — is it open season on a principled black conservative?"

West, a retired Army colonel, has become a national figure among Tea Party activists since defeating Democrat Ron Klein last November. The Florida Republican will be a top target of national Democrats seeking to regain the majority in the House in 2012.

"Let me be very clear to all reading this missive, but mostly to liberals who subscribe to this behavior, be careful of whom you are choosing to employ these tactics against," wrote West. "I consider myself an easy-going fella who will always engage in intense intellectual exchange. However, if you choose this path of personal attacks, intimidation, and threats you will encounter a very different Congressman (LTC. Ret) Allen B. West."

West is awesome! I love how he handles each thing as it happens and speaks up for himself and also for America.

Doug Flutie Endorses Scott Brown

Doug Flutie endorsed Scott Brown along with comedian Steve Sweeney

The Massachusetts’ special U.S. Senate election has gotten tighter, but the general dynamics remain the same.

A new Rasmussen Reports telephone survey of likely voters in the state finds Massachusetts Attorney General Martha Coakley attracting 49% of the vote while her Republican rival, state Senator Scott Brown, picks up 47%.

Three percent (3%) say they’ll vote for independent candidate Joe Kennedy, and two percent (2%) are undecided. The independent is no relation to the late Edward M. Kennedy, whose Senate seat the candidates are battling to fill in next Tuesday’s election.

Coakley is supported by 77% of Democrats while Brown picks up the vote from 88% of Republicans. Among voters not affiliated with either major party, Brown leads 71% to 23%. To be clear, this lead is among unaffiliated voters who are likely to participate in the special election.

Scott Brown marched up the road with a banner and a group of supporters, stopping to shake everyone’s hand along the way. There were chants of “Go Scott, go!” the entire time. Coakley, per elitist fashion, whisked up in a stealthy and anonymous car.

One of the union workers actually turned around and said “I’m paid to be here, but I’m voting for Scott Brown. I just need the money, but don’t tell anyone.”

Democrat Witchhunt Going After VP Dick Cheney To Attempt To Cover for Pelosi's LIE

Krauthammer: Dems After Cheney, Just Cover For Nancy Pelosi

And this from Liz Cheney:

"I am really surprised that the democrats decide that that's what they want to fight over. I mean, if they want to go to the American people and say that they disagree with the notion that we ought to be capturing and killing Al Qaeda leaders, I think it's just going to prove to the American people one more time why they can't trust the democrats with our national security."

Wild Thing's comment.........

Liberals cannot stand the thought of Dick Cheney, he inhabits the Col Jessup corner of their psyches.

I guess they are going to say even thinking about killing Al Qaeda is a hate crime.

Fools rush in don't they? No wonder the democrats are such pals of the Palestinians. neither group ever loses an opportunity to lose an opportunity. They always underestimate Dick Cheney. Well, here we go again. Hope they know what they are in for. They are delusional people plain and simple. Go Dick, Go Liz.

People don’t have a clue, God help us. Good grief, that a ride to a library or something. Too bad there isn't a test to find out if the voter is even aware of the issues before they get to cast a vote.

Tolerance Fails T-shirt Test

Catherine Vogt, 14, conducted an experiment in political tolerance at her Oak Park middle school and learned some valuable lessons. (Tribune photo by Nuccio DiNuzzo / November 12, 2008)

As the media keeps gushing on about how America has finally adopted tolerance as the great virtue, and that we're all united now, let's consider the Brave Catherine Vogt Experiment.

Catherine Vogt, 14, is an Illinois 8th grader, the daughter of a liberal mom and a conservative dad. She wanted to conduct an experiment in political tolerance and diversity of opinion at her school in the liberal suburb of Oak Park.

She noticed that fellow students at Gwendolyn Brooks Middle School overwhelmingly supported Barack Obama for president. His campaign kept preaching "inclusion," and she decided to see how included she could be.

So just before the election, Catherine consulted with her history teacher, then bravely wore a unique T-shirt to school and recorded the comments of teachers and students in her journal. The T-shirt bore the simple yet quite subversive words drawn with a red marker:

"McCain Girl."

"I was just really curious how they'd react to something that different, because a lot of people at my school wore Obama shirts and they are big Obama supporters," Catherine told us. "I just really wanted to see what their reaction would be."

Immediately, Catherine learned she was stupid for wearing a shirt with Republican John McCain's name. Not merely stupid. Very stupid.

"People were upset. But they started saying things, calling me very stupid, telling me my shirt was stupid and I shouldn't be wearing it," Catherine said.

Then it got worse.

"One person told me to go die. It was a lot of dying. A lot of comments about how I should be killed," Catherine said, of the tolerance in Oak Park.

But students weren't the only ones surprised that she wore a shirt supporting McCain.

"In one class, I had one teacher say she will not judge me for my choice, but that she was surprised that I supported McCain," Catherine said.

If Catherine was shocked by such passive-aggressive threats from instructors, just wait until she goes to college.

"Later, that teacher found out about the experiment and said she was embarrassed because she knew I was writing down what she said," Catherine said.

One student suggested that she be put up on a cross for her political beliefs.

"He said, 'You should be crucifixed.' It was kind of funny because, I was like, don't you mean 'crucified?' " Catherine said.

Other entries in her notebook involved suggestions by classmates that she be "burned with her shirt on" for "being a filthy-rich Republican."

Some said that because she supported McCain, by extension she supported a plan by deranged skinheads to kill Obama before the election. And I thought such politicized logic was confined to American newsrooms. Yet Catherine refused to argue with her peers. She didn't want to jeopardize her experiment.

"I couldn't show people really what it was for. I really kind of wanted to laugh because they had no idea what I was doing," she said.

Only a few times did anyone say anything remotely positive about her McCain shirt. One girl pulled her aside in a corner, out of earshot of other students, and whispered, "I really like your shirt."

That's when you know America is truly supportive of diversity of opinion, when children must whisper for fear of being ostracized, heckled and crucifixed.

The next day, in part 2 of The Brave Catherine Vogt Experiment, she wore another T-shirt, this one with "Obama Girl" written in blue. And an amazing thing happened.

Catherine wasn't very stupid anymore. She grew brains.

"People liked my shirt. They said things like my brain had come back, and I had put the right shirt on today," Catherine said.

Some students accused her of playing both sides.

"A lot of people liked it. But some people told me I was a flip-flopper," she said. "They said, 'You can't make up your mind. You can't wear a McCain shirt one day and an Obama shirt the next day.' "

But she sure did, and she turned her journal into a report for her history teacher, earning Catherine extra credit. We asked the teacher, Norma Cassin-Pountney, whether it was ironic that Catherine would be subject to such intolerance from pro-Obama supporters in a community that prides itself on its liberal outlook.

"That's what we discussed," Cassin-Pountney said about the debate in the classroom when the experiment was revealed. "I said, here you are, promoting this person [Obama] that believes we are all equal and included, and look what you've done? The students were kind of like, 'Oh, yeah.' I think they got it."

Catherine never told us which candidate she would have voted for if she weren't an 8th grader. But she said she learned what it was like to be in the minority.

"Just being on the outside, how it felt, it was not fun at all," she said.

Don't ever feel as if you must conform, Catherine. Being on the outside isn't so bad. Trust me.

Wild Thing's comment.........

This girl obviously gets her intellect from her father.

Tolerance to liberals means you have to agree with them. This little girl learned all about the great lie of liberalism and how it works. She is impressive and she did all of this on her own.

McCain's Staff Give Up During Campaign and Now Attack Palin

Over Before It Began

The American Spectator

By George Neumayr

According to Newsweek, "On the Sunday night before the last debate, McCain's core group of advisers -- Steve Schmidt, Rick Davis, adman Fred Davis, strategist Greg Strimple, pollster Bill McInturff and strategy director Sarah Simmons -- met to decide whether to tell McCain that the race was effectively over, that he no longer had a chance to win. The consensus in the room was no, not yet, not while he still had 'a pulse.'

This spirit of defeat explains why McCain staffers spent the last week or so of the campaign leaking against Sarah Palin. By the end of the race, the choicest pieces of inside-the-beltway elitism were coming not from Barack Obama but from McCain's own staffers. Palin and family, the staffers let it be known, were clinging to their God, guns, and newfound Neiman Marcus items.

"Wasilla hillbillies looting Neiman Marcus from coast to coast." That is the description Newsweek received from an "angry aide."

That the staffers had given up by October also explains why the most potent attack on Obama came not from the campaign but from pure happenstance outside it: Joe the plumber's accidental meeting with Obama.

McCain acted like that was the first time he had ever heard Obama's thoughts on economic redistribution. Had the campaign exhausted its opposition research budget at Neiman Marcus? To anyone even remotely paying attention, Obama's understanding of taxation as tool of economic redistribution was clear long before Joe the plumber arrived on the scene. Obama had used the word redistribution repeatedly in his writings and speeches.

McCain's last-minute reliance on the gimmick of Joe the plumber made it easy for the media to dismiss his charge of "socialism" against Obama as feeble name-calling. Many months early, the McCain campaign could have been developing that case, and it wouldn't have taken much effort: Obama had let slip socialist, even Marxian, assumptions in his thinking several times, from his Marxian description of religion as an opiate for the masses to his bald calls for "confiscating" the profits of oil companies to his open class warfare.

By the end of the race, the McCain campaign seemed to depend on the latest Drudge Report links for the few talking points it could rouse itself to make. Obama's casual comment about bankrupting the coal industry had been gathering dust for months, only becoming an issue via Drudge at the last moment.

Even when the campaign occasionally stumbled down a promising avenue of attack, it would stop and dart down a new cul-de-sac. Take the ad it ran early on about Obama's work with Planned Parenthood to spread sex-ed propaganda in elementary schools. That ad hit its target squarely enough to generate days of grousing from Joe Biden and, in a rare moment of irritation, Barack Obama. Obama's surrogates in the press also spent days frowning over the ad, another measure of its effectiveness. But where was the follow-up?

The McCain campaign could have rolled out a series of such ads. Instead, social conservatism was henceforth treated by the McCain campaign as a no-go area. For example, the day after the Connecticut Supreme Court imposed gay marriage on the people there, McCain said nothing about the decision. Not a word as far as I could tell was even spoken during the campaign about Obama's de facto support for gay marriage.

Meanwhile, Obama was running ad after ad about his belief in "parental responsibility," crafting an unchallenged image of himself as a centrist. Accidentally, Obama ended up doing more to pass the traditional marriage initiative Proposition 8 in California than McCain: the high turnout of blacks to vote for Obama meant they also voted on Proposition 8, which they supported overwhelmingly.

That McCain lost while traditional marriage amendments across the country, no thanks to him, won is a fitting final note to the haplessness of his campaign.

Wild Thing's comment........

These people that worked on McCain's campaign should be banned from ever again being able to work in politics for one thing. I am so furious about what is happening!!!!!

Nothing would surprise me about McCain.

The main thing I get from this is how awful the campaign workers are, how they threw Palin to the wolves and are bashing her thinking somehow they can look good ...BUT it is totally working the opposite.

Last night on FOX they were saying ( FINALLY ) how horrible the people are that are leaking the lies about Sarah. Finally and maybe after getting enough emails from all of us they are getting smart and realizing it is from McCain's camp and the leaks are lies.

We have had enough of this!!!

McCain could not have had a single chance of a win if it had not been for Sarah. She made the touchdowns, she hit the homeruns and she carried the ball from day one. And God bless her.

Leaker Of Palin Attacks ~ Nicolle Wallace In Her Full Rino Glory

Read this little gem below said by contemptible Nicole Wallace trashing conservative critics of McCain as “crazies.

From February 13, 2008

CBS Political Analyst: McCain Critics are Conservative ‘Crazies’

By Kyle Drennen

PLEASE CLICK HERE TO GO TO THE PETITION

On Wednesday’s CBS "Early Show," co-host Harry Smith discussed the ‘Potomac Primaries’ with Democratic Strategist Dee Dee Myers and Republican CBS Political Analyst Nicolle Wallace, a former Bush Administration Communications Director, who said of John McCain’s conservative critics:

"The more that we see kind of the crazies like Ann Coulter out attacking John McCain, the better Republicans feel about their chances in the general election."

This attack upon conservatives critical of McCain, who include Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, Mark Levin, Laura Ingraham, and others, was prompted by Harry Smith asking about Mike Huckabee’s continued support in the race:

Wild Thing's comment......

Before she was on the McCain campaign staff, Nicolle Wallace was a "CBS Political Analyst" who said that Katie Couric was one of her most admired people in the world...... meanwhile she sneered at conservative critics of McCain during primary season last February as "crazies like Ann Coulter"..........

OOOH, Nicolle Wallace, and now you are (allegedly) trying to destroy Sarah Palin???!!!?? You are going to be persona non grata for any future Republican campaign that wants to get anything more than the RINO vote.

McCain endorses attacking Palin by his refusal to come out and refute it !

Sarah is an awesome lady and she took a bashing from the libtards that no one should have to take all of this from the rino's like Wallace and others. And then spread so joyously by the likes of Cameron and others in the media.

STAND STRONG SARAH!!! YOU HAVE MORE INTEGRITY AND HONOR THAN ANY OF THESE PEOPLE!

And also this.....................

Rush Limbaugh

Rushbo said on his show he was going to declare war on two enemies: Barack Obama and the Republican party. GOOD and I agree!

"Ladies and gentlemen, it is worse than I thought," Limbaugh told listeners. "What the Republican party, led by disgruntled and failed McCain staffers, is trying to do to Sarah Palin, is unconscionable ... There are country-club, blue-blood ... Republicans who want nothing to do with a firebrand conservative [who] can fire up people." He added: "We're going to be taking on two things here [over] the next four years: Obama, and our own party establishment."

Super Rino Nicole Wallace and Anyone Else Bashing Gov. Sarah Palin

McCain Aides Blame Palin, Not Themselves
John McCain took full responsibility for the GOP loss Tuesday night, but there was plenty of grumbling by his top aides Wednesday morning that vice presidential pick Sarah Palin caused his defeat.

Liberal bloggers seized on the raw feelings about Palin among McCain campaign insiders.

Cityfile New York reported that Palin wanted very much to speak during McCain’s concession speech Tuesday night, but staffers shot down her request.

So bitter are some members of McCain’s inner circle that they are trying to get even with Palin and ruin her chances for salvaging her political future.

~ snipet ~

From the minute Palin joined the campaign, she energized a Republican base that was dissatisfied by McCain. She became an overnight fundraising sensation and drew record crowds to Republican events.

It was reported that, when McCain needed to draw a large crowd, he would make sure Palin was with him.

After a pathetic campaign without focus or toughness against the Democratic opponent, it seems natural that top McCain aides would turn their fury on conservative Palin, considered the country's most popular governor.

After joining the ticket, Palin had catapulted McCain ahead of Obama in the polls by mid-September. Palin played a large role in his success. Soon, the mainstream media targeted her with a withering series of attack articles. The AP alone often posted two or three negative Palin stories a day.

~ snipet ~

Despite the multiple fumbles, McCain aides remain fixated on Palin's wardrobe. One upset aide characterized the spree as “Wasilla hillbillies looting Neiman Marcus from coast to coast,” adding that the truth will come out eventually when the Republican Party audits its books.

Reports first surfaced in late October that certain McCain insiders were poised to sacrifice Palin in the event of a McCain loss.

“These people are going to try and shred her after the campaign to divert blame from themselves,” a McCain insider told Politico, referring to McCain's chief strategist, Steve Schmidt, and to Nicolle Wallace, a former Bush aide who took a lead role in Palin’s campaign.

“A number of Governor Palin’s staff have not had her best interests at heart, and they have not had the campaign's best interests at heart,” the McCain insider said.

Nicole's Knifework

NRO

DAVID FRUM'S DIARY

Wow -that is some savage cutting & gutting that Nicole Wallace has just performed upon Sarah Palin. Nicole & I crossed swords once, during the Harriet Miers nomination battle. Watching what Nicole can do when she is seriously annoyed, I am grateful that I got away from that fight with nothing worse than a few bumps and bruises .

That said: Some of these stories do not ring quite true to me, especially the story about Palin allegedly not realizing that Africa was a continent rather than a country. Apparently she did not grasp that "South Africa" was not the same thing as "southern Africa." But there a lot of possible innocent explanations for a mistake like that.

Larger point: Would it not better serve the cause of understanding for Nicole Wallace to give an on-camera interview to Carl Cameron and state these points in her own voice - and allow viewers to asses their credibility? Wallace's fingerprints are all over these leaks anyway, so it's not as if she has any anonymity to lose.

And this..............

A Palin aide said: "Governor Palin was not directing staffers to put anything on their personal credit cards, and anything that staffers put on their credit cards has been reimbursed, like an expense. Nasty and false accusations following a defeat say more about the person who made them than they do about Governor Palin."

Wild Thing's comment..............

This kind of thing makes my heart hurt. I just don't understand people like this. And so the only thing I can see as the reason is they are for sure not conservatives, and more then likely jealous of the love and attention and reaction that Sarah Palin received. This Nicole Wallace is the leak she is behind the whole thing with the help of others.
Don't you just love how these trahsy reports say.... " sources and my sources tell me" and never name names. Great reporting....NOT!

And I am so sick of these rino's these closet Democrats in our party. Including those at the top of the rung of our party. PLEASE GET RID OF ALL OF THEM!!!!!!!!! Let's start from scratch!

McCain was sure quick to criticize someone who used Barack Hussein Obama's middle name. Why doesn't he make a statement in support of his own running mate??? What a jerk!

Nicole Wallace is jealous, and missing a soul.

They are making a HUGE mistake going after Sarah, and there will be repercussions count on it.

Get these petty backbiting self absorbed short sighted elitists OFF the front pages and OUT of my party! Get rid of the rinos! The closet Democrats and we might have a chance to take our country back. Get rid of the likes of Nicole Wallace and her ilk. We need to stop making excuses for these low life's in our party and those that run our party. If we go any further to the left it will be the same as the old Democrat party.

We have a very good chance to win again and not only President but also have conservatives in power. To be in the majority in the House and Senate. I believe that, and we just can't give up. And meanwhile we can purge these jerks out of here. This is dead on serious, it is a take no prisoner time and we owe it to our Veterans and our troops and the future of this Nation is at stake.

There will be days of anger, tears and frustration as welll there should be, we have an enemy that is going to be P...P....P..... I can't say it with his name. He is going to be Number 44. But we will also have laughs to at how his people get upset with him as they already are and will in the future too.

From Rush Limbaugh's show::

They (including McCain) are trying to destroy Palin so conservatives don’t retake the party, we (conservatives) we’re played, the war now is not with Obama, it’s a war in the Party, moderates/rhinos vs conservatives, and Palin is the enemy, they are afraid of her. Basically, staffers are doing this for two reasons:

1) They are not conservatives
2) They need to blame somebody because they were behind the massive loss and want to get jobs in the future.

The attacks on Palin are even worse than he suspected, who is to gain he says? The moderates, they are trying to ruin her 2012 run trying to make her out to be fool, petty, ignorant hick. And all this is coming from our own Party.

....Thank you Mark for sending this to me.

UPDATE November 7, 2008 afternooon

Washington – Today Team Sarah commented on the explosion of post-election attacks on Alaska Governor Sarah Palin:

“I have news for everyone – the campaign is over. Unfortunately, the hateful campaigning against Governor Sarah Palin continues on, perpetuated by those threatened by her meteoric rise,” said Team Sarah Co-Founder Jane Abraham. “Despite the unfounded vitriol and criticism, Governor Palin’s success will endure. Sarah Palin’s success story is just beginning and it will take more than some baseless remarks from a few malcontents to stop her rise in American politics. Governor Palin will continue to influence American politics: her reputation as a fighter against corruption, an expert on energy, and a voice for modern American women balancing work and family cannot and will not be ignored.”

A Vote and Pray For Our Country

We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.

Article. II.

Section. 1.

The executive Power shall be vested in a President of the United States of America. He shall hold his Office during the Term of four Years, and, together with the Vice President, chosen for the same Term, be elected, as follows:

Each State shall appoint, in such Manner as the Legislature thereof may direct, a Number of Electors, equal to the whole Number of Senators and Representatives to which the State may be entitled in the Congress: but no Senator or Representative, or Person holding an Office of Trust or Profit under the United States, shall be appointed an Elector.

The Electors shall meet in their respective States, and vote by Ballot for two Persons, of whom one at least shall not be an Inhabitant of the same State with themselves. And they shall make a List of all the Persons voted for, and of the Number of Votes for each; which List they shall sign and certify, and transmit sealed to the Seat of the Government of the United States, directed to the President of the Senate. The President of the Senate shall, in the Presence of the Senate and House of Representatives, open all the Certificates, and the Votes shall then be counted.

The Person having the greatest Number of Votes shall be the President, if such Number be a Majority of the whole Number of Electors appointed; and if there be more than one who have such Majority, and have an equal Number of Votes, then the House of Representatives shall immediately chose by Ballot one of them for President; and if no Person have a Majority, then from the five highest on the List the said House shall in like Manner chose the President.

But in choosing the President, the Votes shall be taken by States, the Representation from each State having one Vote; A quorum for this purpose shall consist of a Member or Members from two thirds of the States, and a Majority of all the States shall be necessary to a Choice. In every Case, after the Choice of the President, the Person having the greatest Number of Votes of the Electors shall be the Vice President. But if there should remain two or more who have equal Votes, the Senate shall chose from them by Ballot the Vice President.

The Congress may determine the Time of choosing the Electors, and the Day on which they shall give their Votes; which Day shall be the same throughout the United States.

No Person except a natural born Citizen, or a Citizen of the United States, at the time of the Adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the Office of President; neither shall any Person be eligible to that Office who shall not have attained to the Age of thirty five Years, and been fourteen Years a Resident within the United States.

In Case of the Removal of the President from Office, or of his Death, Resignation, or Inability to discharge the Powers and Duties of the said Office, the Same shall devolve on the Vice President, and the Congress may by Law provide for the Case of Removal, Death, Resignation or Inability, both of the President and Vice President, declaring what Officer shall then act as President, and such Officer shall act accordingly, until the Disability be removed, or a President shall be elected.

The President shall, at stated Times, receive for his Services, a Compensation, which shall neither be increased nor diminished during the Period for which he shall have been elected, and he shall not receive within that Period any other Emolument from the United States, or any of them.

Before he enter on the Execution of his Office, he shall take the following Oath or Affirmation:--"I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will faithfully execute the Office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my Ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States."

Wild Thing's comment..........

My thoughts and prayers are constantly on those serving our country during this crucial election.

Think of their amazing accomplishments since 9/11 and to this day they continue VOLUNTEERING, leaving many of us speechless, there are no words sufficient to describe such dedication and love of country.

And the wounded soldiers that we know who say, “I’d go back in a heartbeat if they would let me...”. They wish nothing more than to be part of a successful campaign that they were not able to complete.

Our troops deserve the best Commander In Chief and that would be Sen. John McCain. There just is no way that Barack Hussein Obama would be a good CIC, he has no respect for our military and it goes down hill from there in how and what he would do to our military and to our land of the free because of the VERY Brave!

America has been greatly blessed by God and has stood as the greatest country in the history of the world for over 200 years. America has many foreign and domestic enemies that are seeking her destruction. I pray all of the enemy’s attempts to steal this election fail.

Our Founding Fathers were acutely aware of the importance of elections. They believed that the faith and character of every individual elected to office was vital to the future health of our nation, and they valued the privilege of representative government under the guidance of Almighty God.

Obama Gives McCain The Finger

And then back in April day after losing his Pennsylvania debate with Hillary, Obama in his oh so delicate manner of his, flips Hillary the bird.

And this one...............it was the second time he did it to Hillary.

Wild Thing's comment.........

You know I think everyone has done this, but to do it as a Presidential candidate toward the opposing candidate is just wrong in so many ways. What is Obama going to do when he would have to deal with leaders of other countries and they do not agree. Give THEM the FINGER? OH that will be great. Bring THE HOOD to our White House is what he will do.

I am so disgusting with this communist jerk.

Coal Official Calls Obama Comments 'unbelievable'

Coal official calls Obama comments 'unbelievable'

The West Virginia Record

CHARLESTON

At least one state coal industry leader said he was shocked by comments Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama made earlier this year concerning his plan to aggressively charge polluters for carbon and greenhouse gas emissions.

"What I've said is that we would put a cap and trade system in place that is as aggressive, if not more aggressive, than anybody else's out there," Obama said in a Jan. 17 interview with the San Francisco Chronicle that was made public today first on the Web site newsbusters.org, which calls itself "the leader in documenting, exposing and neutralizing liberal media bias." The story later was linked on The Drudge Report.

"I was the first to call for a 100 percent auction on the cap and trade system, which means that every unit of carbon or greenhouse gases emitted would be charged to the polluter," Obama continued. "That will create a market in which whatever technologies are out there that are being presented, whatever power plants that are being built, that they would have to meet the rigors of that market and the ratcheted down caps that are being placed, imposed every year.

"So if somebody wants to build a coal-powered plant, they can; it's just that it will bankrupt them because they're going to be charged a huge sum for all that greenhouse gas that's being emitted."

Calls and e-mails to West Virginia Obama campaign officials seeking comment for this story were not returned as of Sunday evening.

According to the West Virginia Office of Miners' Health, Safety and Training, the coal industry provides about 40,000 direct jobs in the state, including those for miners, mine contractors, coal preparation plant employees and mine supply company workers.

West Virginia is the second largest coal-producing state in the country behind Wyoming and accounts for about 15 percent of all coal production in the United States. The Mountain State leads the nation in underground coal production and leads the nation in coal exports with over 50 million tons shipped to 23 countries. West Virginia accounts for about half of U.S. coal exports.

In addition, the coal industry pays about $70 million in property taxes in the state annually, and the Coal Severance Tax adds about $214 million into West Virginia's economy. The coal industry payroll in the state is nearly $2 billion per year, and coal is responsible for more than $3.5 billion annually in the gross state product.

"The only thing I've said with respect to coal, I haven't been some coal booster," Obama said in the San Francisco Chronicle interview. "What I have said is that for us to take coal off the table as an ideological matter as opposed to saying if technology allows us to use coal in a clean way, we should pursue it."

The senior vice president of the West Virginia Coal Association called Obama's comments "unbelievable."

"His comments are unfortunate," Chris Hamilton said Sunday, "and really reflect a very uninformed voice and perspective to coal specifically and energy generally."

Hamilton noted other times Obama and vice presidential candidate Joe Biden have made seemingly anti-coal statements.

"In Ohio recently, when Joe Biden said 'not here' about building coal-fired power plants -- this is exactly what will happen," Hamilton said. "Financing won't be directed here. It will all go aboard for plants elsewhere in the world. The United Sates is importing more coal today from Indonesia, South Africa and Colombia than we ever have.

"If we're going to create a situation where coal-fired power plants are at that much of a disadvantage, there will be new ones built. But as Biden said, just not here."

Republican presidential candidate John McCain's state director said Obama's statements are troubling, especially for West Virginians.

"I think this clearly shows the attitude the Obama-Biden ticket has toward coal," Ben Beakes said Sunday. "Rhetoric is cheap, but behind closed doors what they tell their supporters - that's what we have to take as gospel.

"They're definitely not friends of coal."

Beakes noted other examples of Obama and Biden making seemingly anti-coal statements, such as in February when Obama said he'd like to tax "dirty energy" such as coal and natural gas.

"And their cohorts in Congress make similar statements," Beakes said. "(Senate Majority Leader) Harry Reid (D-Nevada) said this summer that 'coal makes us sick.'

"This is an attitude and view that, to me, shows their hatred of coal. And therefore, their view would cost West Virginians thousands upon thousands of jobs."

Beakes touted McCain's view toward coal.

"John McCain has embraced coal," Beakes said. "He doesn't agree with everything in the coal industry, but his view of coal is positive. He will make it part of his energy policy. He's met with leaders in the coal industry and let them know that. He's sought advice from coal industry leaders.

"McCain understands that coal supports about 49 percent of our electricity in this country. He'll continue to make coal important. He wants to reduce our foreign dependency on oil."

Hamilton also said the Obama campaign needs to find varied sources for coal and energy advice.

"If they're victorious Tuesday, they'd better go to someone other than Al Gore on energy and environmental matters," he said. "They've tipped the balance way -- unnecessarily so -- toward protecting the environment."

Please also note this.....................

Here is what Obama said about nuclear energy.

His preconditions make it impossible to expand nuclear energy at this time.

From The Wall Street Journal:

On nuclear power, Sen. Obama says he's open to expanding nuclear energy, which now provides 20% of the nation's electricity, as part of an effort to increase power sources that emit little or no carbon dioxide. But he also has said there is no future for expanded nuclear energy until the U.S. comes up with a safe, long-term solution for disposing of nuclear waste. He opposes the Bush administration's plan for storing waste at Yucca Mountain in Nevada.

Wild Thing's comment..........

Obama should not be allowed any where near the White House. Obama is a blithering Marxist fool.

Glenn Beck’s from Pennsylvania he will not like this one bit either.

Gov.Sarah Palin Slamming Obama's Plan to Bankrupting the Coal Industry! Yeah Sarah!

Barack Obama stated his intention to bankrupt the coal industry in an interview with the San Francisco Chronicle. That would throw countless people out of work, devastate the economy of many coal producing states, and send electricity prices skyrocketing for everyone. Sarah Palin opposes Barack's bankrupt plan and pledges to fight with everything she has for working Americans!

Palin told supporters to listen to the audiotape. “You’re going to hear Sen. Obama talk about bankrupting the coal industry,” she said. The Alaska governor also pointed to comments that Democratic vice-presidential candidate Joe Biden made to an environmental activist, promising no more coal-fired power plants in America. Biden was videotaped, likely without his knowledge.

“In an Obama-Biden administration, there would be no use for coal at all, from Wyoming to Colorado, to West Virginia and Ohio,” Palin said.

"He said that, sure, if the industry wants to build coal-fired power plants, then they can go ahead and try, he says, but they can do it only in a way that will bankrupt the coal industry, and he's comfortable letting that happen,” Palin said. “And you got to listen to the tape.”

"Why is the audiotape just now surfacing?” Palin asked, leading someone in the crowd to shout, “Liberal media!”

“This interview was given to San Francisco folks many, many months ago,” Palin said. “You should have known about this, so that you would have better decision-making information as you go into the voting booth.”

Wild Thing's comment.........

OMG this is GREAT, she is She's telling them to listen to the tape!!!! I love it!

Don't you just love the take no prisoners attitude! OH yesssss!!!

"The MAC is BACK!" ~ McCain Holds Midnight Rally At University of Miami

McCain Electrifies Post-Midnight Miami Rally

Actor Kelsey Grammar and his wife Mrs. Kelsey Grammer (Camille Donatacci, a former Playboy model).
are also on stage with them.Crowd is going wild!

For the late hour almost 1 in the morning the crowd is going nuts!

John McCain is finishing out the weekend with a "Midnight Rally" at the University of Miami. At the rally at the BankUnited Center, McCain will get a final energetic boost from a huge crowd of several thousand supporters.

"McCain has a proven record," Sylvia Millor exclaimed.

McCain supporters waited anxiously for the Senator, talking about their votes. "We're fighting two wars and we need someone with experience. And Obama, he's not experienced," said Steve Jansen.

For other supporters, Obama's pro-choice stance on abortion was enough to decide their vote. "When a person will allow the slaughter of babies, why should you think he will protect you or keep his promises to you?" Carol Thompson asked.

And this was posted on HillBuzz Sunday night:

"Harriet and Betty Jean are back from the airport. They were turned down at the rally for McCain because there wasn't room. So they high tailed it to the airport with their signs in the hope they could see him. They saw McCain's car drive onto the tarmac and were despondent when the car headed away from them. Then, the car abruptly turned around and John McCain leapt out of the car and he ran over to the group with a huge smile on his face. Cindy and Joe Lieberman quickly followed. Betty Jean said McCain was quicker than the Secret Service who had to run to keep up with him. McCain thanked them enthusiastically and hugged Betty Jean. It made her day."

And this from notes from a friend that was also there:

"It holds 8,000 and it is full, packed. Amazing enthusiasm down the stretch. McCain must be so tired. But he doesn't act like it. His voice is going a little he sounds a little horse, but he is bright eyed and so is Cindy she was here too. Srah has given McCain an energy, this is just so thrilling to able to go to one of the rallies. place is absolutely rocking...McCain is on fire at 1 AM. McCain has stamina...unreal...the Cuban-American population is erupting every 45 seconds. They booed loudly when John McCain said that Obama would sit down with Hugo Chavez and the Castro bros."

Wild Thing's comment..........

I am so glad McCain and Sarah jumped on this about coal. It is down to the wire and if this had been brought up months ago it would have given Obama lots of time to come up with excuse after excuse. Now he can't do that, oh he can make a statement but nothing like he could have done if this had come up say 3 months ago.

Intimidation by ObamaNation

by Mark Hillman

Barack Obama says Republicans "are going to try to make you afraid of me." Well, it's hard to imagine how the GOP could conjure up a more fearsome specter of an Obama presidency than the one created by the tactics of his own campaign.

Responding to those who dare commit blasphemy against The One, Obama's campaign has unleashed lawsuits and urged prosecution by no less than the Justice Department, enlisted elected officials to threaten and intimidate his foes, and deployed its vast internet e-mail list to silence bloggers and radio talk shows.

In Missouri, Obama allies, from a U.S. Senator to a local sheriff, threatened criminal proceedings against television stations that air anti-Obama commercials. Such "police state tactics" prompted Gov. Matt Blunt to charge Obama's campaign with "abusing the justice system and offices of public trust to silence political criticism."

ObamaNation used the same strategy against the National Rifle Association when its political fund released ads to educate gun owners about Obama's hostile record. Bob Bauer, attorney for the Obama campaign, urged cable and television stations in Pennsylvania to "immediately cease" airing the NRA's ads, because the campaign determined they were "false, misleading and deceptive."

Well.

Similarly, Bauer pressured the U.S. Justice Department to prosecute the non-profit American Issues Project and one of its donors over an advertising campaign that exposed Obama's alliances with domestic terrorist-turned-university professor William Ayers who has reflected, "I don't regret setting bombs...I feel we didn't do enough."

The Obama campaign also dispatched its thought police to silence the free speech rights of opponents on radio and internet.

First aimed at internet blogs supporting Hillary Clinton, Obama supporters swamp certain unfriendly blogs with "spam" complaints. When those complaints reach a threshold, Google's Blogger platform renders the blog inoperable. Bloggers must then wait for Google to make an individual determination whether or not each accused blog is legitimate.

A more sinister intimidation befell journalists probing Obama's background in Chicago politics, as well as radio stations that provided a platform for those reports. The Chicago Tribune reported that Obama's campaign used its database "listing contact information for millions of people" not only for raising money but "to beat back media messages it does not like."

Milt Rosenberg, a longtime talk show host on Chicago's WGN radio interviewed two prominent Obama critics, author David Freddoso and professor Stanley Kurtz. Freddoso's The Case Against Barack Obama is a best-seller that unflatteringly examines Obama's career, while Kurtz fought the University of Illinois to gain access to files documenting activities involving Obama and Ayers.

In both cases, Rosenberg specifically invited Obama's campaign to participate. Obama's camp not only refused, but it dispatched an e-mail alert instructing compliant Obamabots to bombard the radio switchboard and e-mail in order to fill the lines with scripted callers and block out other voices.

Even liberal commentator Andrew Sullivan called the Obama tactics "a disgraceful attempt to intimidate journalists trying to get at the facts."

If other slimy strategies fail, Obama critics are subjected to the nuclear option ‹ the race card ‹ often by a reliably hypersensitive, sycophantic media.

Associated Press "analyst" Douglass Daniel tied himself in knots explaining how Sarah Palin's comment about Obama "palling around" with terrorists ‹ again referring to Ayers and his wife, both of whom are white ‹ "carried a racially tinged subtext."

Remember, too, the supposed racial overtones ascribed to McCain's ad comparing the accomplishment-free Obama to similarly-credentialed starlets Paris Hilton and Britney Spears ‹ again, both white.

Mentioning Obama's accounts of his own use of marijuana or cocaine is off limits because that's racist, too. And, of course, to vote for someone other than Obama is the telltale sign of racism.

If this is the treatment Obama's critics receive now when he's merely a freshman senator from Illinois there's plenty to fear from an Obama presidency.

Wild Thing's comment..........

In addition to what the article listed, Obama's zealots have also been known to hack into Sarah Palin's private email and threaten a Jewish group with tax trouble unless they disinvited her from their protest rally against Ahmadinejad at the UN.

Then there is Joe the Plumber, that not only made us sick and outraged it also made many democrats mad as well.

Imagine this man with control of the ENTIRE executive branch of the most powerful country in the world: That includes the Justice Department (FBI, U.S. Attorneys, etc.) the IRS, the military, the National Guards of the 57 ( Obama's count of how many States we have) states, and all the rest!

Remember how Obama treated Joe Lieberman on the floor of the Senate?

......during a Senate vote Wednesday, Obama dragged Lieberman by the hand to a far corner of the Senate chamber and engaged in what appeared to reporters in the gallery as an intense, three-minute conversation. While it was unclear what the two were discussing, the body language suggested that Obama was trying to convince Lieberman of something and his stance appeared slightly intimidating. Using forceful, but not angry, hand gestures, Obama literally backed up Lieberman against the wall, leaned in very close at times, and appeared to be trying to dominate the conversation, as the two talked over each other in a few instances.

It’s positively terrifying.

Continued prayers that Obama does not win.

Communist Obama Tells SF Chronicle He Will Bankrupt Coal Industry

Audio Unearthed OBAMA TELLS SAN FRANCISCO HE WILL BANKRUPT THE COAL INDUSTRY

Obama Tells SF Chronicle He Will Bankrupt Coal Industry

pennsylvania@johnmccain.com

Imagine if John McCain had whispered somewhere that he was willing to bankrupt a major industry? Would this declaration not immediately be front page news? Well, Barack Obama actually flat out told the San Francisco Chronicle (SF Gate) that he was willing to see the coal industry go bankrupt in a January 17, 2008 interview. The result? Nothing. This audio interview has been hidden from the public...until now. Here is the transcript of Obama's statement about bankrupting the coal industry (emphasis mine):

Let me sort of describe my overall policy.

What I've said is that we would put a cap and trade system in place that is as aggressive, if not more aggressive, than anybody else's out there.

I was the first to call for a 100% auction on the cap and trade system, which means that every unit of carbon or greenhouse gases emitted would be charged to the polluter. That will create a market in which whatever technologies are out there that are being presented, whatever power plants that are being built, that they would have to meet the rigors of that market and the ratcheted down caps that are being placed, imposed every year.

So if somebody wants to build a coal-powered plant, they can; it's just that it will bankrupt them because they're going to be charged a huge sum for all that greenhouse gas that's being emitted.

Obama: Spike Energy Costs To Make People Go 'green'

Obama: Spike energy costs to make people go 'green'

2007 interview: Proposes government create 'price signals' to control behavior

By Drew Zahn

JOHNSTON, Iowa – In a recently publicized video from the Democratic primaries, Sen. Barack Obama said the government should drive energy bills up through "price signals" in order to force Americans into more environmentally friendly choices.

In the Nov. 9, 2007, interview on Iowa Public Television's "Iowa Press," Obama said Americans like driving SUVs and leaving the lights on, but since "it is undisputable that the climate is getting warmer," consumers would have to change their habits.

When asked what would make consumers change, Obama said government-created "price signals" would make people more mindful of energy costs and compel them to start changing light bulbs and turning off light switches.

Associated Press reporter Mike Glover asked, "How do you convince people to change their lifestyle, to live differently?"

Obama's answer, viewable in the video below, was, "I think it is important for us to send some price signals to change behavior. You know, if electricity goes up, people start becoming more mindful of their electricity bill."

When Des Moines Register reporter David Yepsen asked Obama what part of his campaign Americans may not like to hear, the candidate returned to the theme of price signals.

"Number one, we're going to have to start doing a better job of conserving on energy," Obama said. "Americans like to drive their big SUVs. They like to leave all the lights on in their house. We're going to have to change our habits."

He then clarified how the government could implement the kind price signals that change consumer habits.

"We're going to have to cap the emission of greenhouse gases," Obama said. "That means that power plants are going to have to adjust how they generate power. They will pass on those costs to consumers. … A lot of us who can afford it are going to have to pay more per unit of electricity, and that means we're going to have to change our light bulbs, we're going to have to shut the lights off in our houses."

Sorry but WTF??!!

Barack Hussein Obama literally will destroy our economy, our industries just to make our country into HIS WAY OR NO WAY.

At a rally in Henderson, Nevada, he warned his supporters against complacency.

"At this defining moment in history, you can give the country the change we need," he said.

Sky News' Michelle Clifford, who was at the rally, said Mr Obama was trying to leave nothing to chance.

"He'll be using every ounce of his resources to get the vote out," she said.

Communist Party USA (CPUSA) 2008 Electoral Policy

The Communist Party USA views the 2008 elections as a tremendous opportunity to defeat the policies of the right-wing Republicans and to move our country in a new progressive direction.

The record turnout in the Democratic Presidential primary races shows that millions of voters, including millions of new voters, are using this election to bring about real change. We wholeheartedly agree with them.

CPUSA endorsing the Obamamessiah for President — shocker — even though he isn’t quite the perfect little Communist.

Here is the page at their website that states this below:

"Barack Obama is not a left candidate. This fact has seemingly surprised a number of progressive people who are bemoaning Obama’s “shift to the center.”

But they will not dampen the wide and deep enthusiasm for blocking a third Bush term represented by John McCain, or for bringing Obama by landslide into the White House with a large Democratic congressional majority.

A broad multiclass, multiracial movement is converging around Obama’s “Hope, change and unity” campaign because they see in it the thrilling opportunity to end 30 years of ultra-right rule and move our nation forward with a broadly progressive agenda.

Wild Thing's comment.........

Obama also said this the other day, that we were only five days away from fundamentally and drastically changing this nation.

He means it.

There was an article that was written in September. I just saw it and wanted to point this out. Important read below.

But let us now forget one thing, he has NOT won this battle, and we are a mighty force!!

Barack Obama and Michelle's Boot Camps For Radicals

9/4/2008

Barack Obama was a founding member of the board of Public Allies in 1992, resigning before his wife became executive director of the Chicago chapter of Public Allies in 1993. Obama plans to use the nonprofit group, which he features on his campaign Web site, as the model for a national service corps. He calls his Orwellian program, "Universal Voluntary Public Service."

Big Brother had nothing on the Obamas. They plan to herd American youth into government-funded reeducation camps where they'll be brainwashed into thinking America is a racist, oppressive place in need of "social change."

The pitch Public Allies makes on its Web site doesn't seem all that radical. It promises to place young adults (18-30) in paid one-year "community leadership" positions with nonprofit or government agencies. They'll also be required to attend weekly training workshops and three retreats.

In exchange, they'll get a monthly stipend of up to $1,800, plus paid health and child care. They also get a post-service education award of $4,725 that can be used to pay off past student loans or fund future education.

But its real mission is to radicalize American youth and use them to bring about "social change" through threats, pressure, tension and confrontation — the tactics used by the father of community organizing, Saul "The Red" Alinsky.

"Our alumni are more than twice as likely as 18-34 year olds to . . . engage in protest activities," Public Allies boasts in a document found with its tax filings. It has already deployed an army of 2,200 community organizers like Obama to agitate for "justice" and "equality" in his hometown of Chicago and other U.S. cities, including Cincinnati, Los Angeles, Milwaukee, New York, Phoenix, Pittsburgh and Washington. "I get to practice being an activist," and get paid for it, gushed Cincinnati recruit Amy Vincent.

The Obamas discourage work in the private sector. "Don't go into corporate America," Michelle has exhorted youth. "Work for the community. Be social workers." Shun the "money culture," Barack added. "Individual salvation depends on collective salvation."

"If you commit to serving your community," he pledged in his Denver acceptance speech, "we will make sure you can afford a college education." So, go through government to go to college, and then go back into government.

Not all the recruits appreciate the PC indoctrination. "It was too touchy-feely," said Nelly Nieblas, 29, of the 2005 Los Angeles class. "It's a lot of talk about race, a lot of talk about sexism, a lot of talk about homophobia, talk about -isms and phobias."

One of those -isms is "heterosexism," which a Public Allies training seminar in Chicago describes as a negative byproduct of "capitalism, white supremacy, patriarchy and male-dominated privilege."

The government now funds about half of Public Allies' expenses through Clinton's AmeriCorps. Obama wants to fully fund it and expand it into a national program that some see costing $500 billion. "We've got to have a civilian national security force that's just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded" as the military, he said.

The gall of it: The Obamas want to create a boot camp for radicals who hate the military — and stick American taxpayers with the bill.

Al-Qaida Sites Show Support For Barack Hussein Obama

Al-Qaida sites show support for Obama

Monitor says terrorists wants Democrat to pull troops so they can 'claim victory'

The call this week by an al-Qaida leader for Allah to "humiliate" President Bush and the Republican Party in Tuesday's election was not the first tacit endorsement of Democrat Barack Obama by the terrorist network.

A contributor to a major al-Qaida website last week said the terrorist group will "let the Democrats win the presidential elections, and Obama will take it," according to Joseph Shahda, an Arabic translator who monitors radical Islamic websites.

Obama's "goal is to withdraw from Iraq" over a period of time, but "he will be forced to withdraw his forces from Iraq at a much earlier time," said the Oct. 23 post, written under the name "Wissam" on the Al-Hesbah website.

They called for launching a "crushing strike" after the election.

Shahda explained that all al-Qaida press releases, videos, audios and speeches are first posted on the terrorist forums.

Shahda said al-Qaida will let Democrats win, there have been previous comments on al-Qaida-linked Internet forums speaking in favor of Obama that the media has not covered.

Wild Thing's comment.........

We knew this already but now we have it in print. The terrorists know McCain would go after them and Obama would not. Just as Bill Clinton did nothing really after the first attack on the World Trade Center during his Presidency.

How could Obama go after people that he has so much in common with. Haters of America, haters of our military, wants to weaken the United States, wants to destroy our Consitution, and the list goes on. Yes they have a lot in common.

PURGE: SKEPTICAL REPORTERS TOSSED OFF OBAMA PLANE

The Washington Times reported Friday that they were notified of the Obama campaign’s decision Thursday evening — even though the paper has covered Obama from the start.

"This feels like the journalistic equivalent of redistributing the wealth, we spent hundreds of thousands of dollars covering Senator Obama’s campaign, traveling on his plane, and taking our turn in the reporter’s pool, only to have our seat given away to someone else in the last days of the campaign,” said Washington Times Executive Editor John Solomon.

“I hope the candidate that promises to unite America isn’t using a litmus test to determine who gets to cover his campaign.”

Drudge

The Obama campaign has decided to heave out three newspapers from its plane for the final days of its blitz across battleground states — and all three endorsed Sen. John McCain for president!

The NY POST, WASHINGTON TIMES and DALLAS MORNING NEWS have all been told to vamoose by Sunday to make room for network bigwigs — and possibly for the inclusion of reporters from two black magazines, ESSENCE and JET, the DRUDGE REPORT has learned.

Despite pleas from top editors of the three newspapers that have covered the campaign for months at extraordinary cost, the Obama campaign says their reporters — and possibly others — will have to vacate their coveted seats so more power players can document the final days of Sen. Barack Obama’s historic campaign to become the first black American president.

After a week of quiet but desperate behind-the-scenes negotiations, the reporters of the three papers heard last night that they were definitely off for the final swing. They are already planning how to cover the final days by flying commercial or driving from event to event.

Wild Thing's comment.........

These three newspapers did not endorse Obama, they endorsed McCain/Palin.

The Truth Squad in MO. and PA.
Florida TV station was banned
PA TV station was banned
Joe the Plumber was investigated

The ‘Change’ is starting. All the people on the left that support FREEDOM OF SPEECH better wake and see what is going on. When Obama doesn’t like what is being said about him he freezes them out in all directions. He has 90% of the media on his side but that is still not good enough.

Obama and his Gestapo and it all began during the Primary stealing votes from Hillary with the help of the DNC and has not stopped since.

They said on FOX that the three replacing these newspapers listed in the article will be BET ( Black Entertainment Television), Essence ( Black magazine) and Ebony ( another black magazine).

Obama's New Attack on Those Who Don't Want Higher Taxes: ‘Selfishness’

On the stump this week, Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill., has pushed back against Sen. John McCain's description of his tax policies.

"The reason that we want to do this, change our tax code, is not because I have anything against the rich," Obama said in Sarasota, Fla., yesterday. "I love rich people! I want all of you to be rich. Go for it. That’s the American dream, that’s the American way, that’s terrific.

"The point is, though, that -- and it’s not just charity, it’s not just that I want to help the middle class and working people who are trying to get in the middle class -- it’s that when we actually make sure that everybody’s got a shot – when young people can all go to college, when everybody’s got decent health care, when everybody’s got a little more money at the end of the month – then guess what? Everybody starts spending that money, they decide maybe I can afford a new car, maybe I can afford a computer for my child. They can buy the products and services that businesses are selling and everybody is better off. All boats rise. That’s what happened in the 1990s, that’s what we need to restore. And that’s what I’m gonna do as president of the United States of America.

"John McCain and Sarah Palin they call this socialistic," Obama continued. "You know I don’t know when, when they decided they wanted to make a virtue out of selfishness."

Wild Thing's comment.........

He won't produce his birth certificate, he cries and whines when anyone asks him tuff questions. He can't handle any kind of person or comment that disagrees with him so much that he has not only one webpage for what he calls attacks, but also another page for his followers to turn people in that say or do things from McCain/Palin campaign that make phone calls or send out mailers telling the truth about Obama.

He has never served in our military and made any kind of sacrifices like all of those who serve in our military do.

His relatives keep popping up in places that show all of us Obama could care less about any of them except for his terrorist cousin he flew to see and help with his campaign on our tax dollars.

AND HE CALLS John AND Sarah SELFISH????? Or anyone that does not like his plan and disagree with him.

HERE is what UNselfish is Barack Hussein Obama!!

Supreme Court Asked To Halt Tuesday's Vote

Supremes asked to halt Tuesday's vote

Constitutional crisis feared over Obama's 'qualifications'

The U.S. Supreme Court is being asked to help the nation avoid a constitutional crisis by halting Tuesday's election until Democratic presidential nominee Barack Obama documents his eligibility to run for the top office in the nation.

Democratic attorney Philip Berg had filed a lawsuit alleging Obama is ineligible to be president because of possible birth in Kenya, but as WND reported, a federal judge dismissed the complaint claiming Berg lacks standing to bring the action.

The 34-page memorandum that accompanied the court order from Judge R. Barclay Surrick concluded ordinary citizens can't sue to ensure that a presidential candidate actually meets the constitutional requirements of the office.

Instead, Surrick said Congress could determine "that citizens, voters, or party members should police the Constitution's eligibility requirements for the Presidency," but that it would take new laws to grant individual citizens that ability.

"Until that time," Surrick says, "voters do not have standing to bring the sort of challenge that Plaintiff attempts to bring."

In a statement today, Berg said he is applying to Justice David Souter for an "Immediate Injunction to Stay the Presidential Election of November 4, 2008."

"I am hopeful that the U.S. Supreme Court will grant the injunction pending a review of this case to avoid a constitutional crisis by insisting that Obama produce certified documentation that he is or is not a "natural born" citizen and if he cannot produce documentation that Obama be removed from the ballot for president," Berg said.

"We must legally prevent Obama, the unqualified candidate, from taking the office of the presidency of the United States," Berg said.

Wild Thing's comment...........

I would hate to get stuck with Obama and then find out yet another truth about him. The Supreme Court could make it where his birth certificate question has to be answered.

Obama is the one that has made this a big deal by his actions and not doing what he was supposed to do.

The thing is he has got to be an American running for President as it says in the US Constitution. We have the right to know if he is an imposter or not.

Actress Maria Conchita Alonso Endorses McCain

Today the McCain-Palin campaign announced the endorsement of Maria Conchita Alonso, a Latin American actress who has starred in television and film for three decades. Alonso, who was born in Cuba and raised in Venezuela, recently appeared on CSI: Miami and Desperate Housewives and starred alongside Arnold Schwarzenegger in The Running Man.

"As a Latina and a new American citizen, I believe in this country and its people, and I believe that we need more than just 'change.' We need a leader who can bring about the right kind of change, and John McCain has the experience and judgment necessary to lead us in these uncertain times," Alonso said. "I grew up in Cuba and Venezuela, and I am appalled that Barack Obama apparently wants to emulate the "spread the wealth" economic policies of those countries and negotiate with their leaders. For me the choice is clear, and I believe it is my duty to share my views even though it might not make me popular in Hollywood."

After a successful career in Venezuela as a beauty queen, telenovela star, film actress and singer, Alonso emigrated to the United States from Caracas, Venezuela in 1982. She has appeared in dozens of films and television shows since then and was the first South American star to star on Broadway.

Wild Thing's comment..........

Maria has lived where spread the wealth has been in effect and she knows it does not work. She has been on FOX several times in the past talking about how horrible Hugo Chavez is and also telling off Sean Penn and others how wrong they are do make friends and side with Hugo Chavez.

Richardson Lowers Obama's Definition Of The Rich But NY Times Lowers It Too

The Denver Post

This morning, New Mexico governor Bill Richardson, and enthusiastic supporter of Barack Obama, continued the downward ratchet of the level of income at which Barack Obama intends to confiscate income.

Obama started at #250,000, then said $200,000.

Joe Biden then dropped the bar to $150,000 three days ago.

And now, Bill Richardson is telling us that anyone making over $120,000 will be penalized by an Obama administration.

OH but wait...........Look at this too:

For Incomes Below $100,000, a Better Tax Break in Obama’s Plan

http://www.viddler.com/explore/CitizenSlim/videos/2/9.212/

Independent analyses of the presidential candidates’ tax proposals show that those who make less than $250,000 a year would not see their taxes raised under Senator Barack Obama’s plans. Further, Mr. Obama would generally cut taxes more than Senator John McCain would for households with incomes less than $100,000 a year.

Wild Thing's comment.......

This feels like being at an auction.... like I have seen on TV. hahaha

First Richardson, and now the Tiimes....Do I hear $75,000?

Obama's Campaign Worker Speaks Out!!

sarah p Says:
October 27, 2008 at 5:04 am

Ok, I want to clear my conscious a little. Hopefully you could make a blog post to help some fellow clinton supporters out.

I work for a campaign and can’t wait for this week to be over.

I was doing it for a job. I was not a fan of any candidate but over time grew to love HRC.

The internal campaign idea is to twist, distort, humiliate and finally dispirit you.

We pay people and organize people to go to all the online sites and “play the part of a clinton or mccain supporter who just switched our support for obama”

We do this to stifle your motivation and to destroy your confidence.

We did this the whole primary and it worked.

Sprinkle in mass vote confusion and it becomes bewildering. Most people lose patience and just give up on their support of a candidate and decide to just block out tv, news, websites, etc.

This surprisingly has had a huge suppressing movement and vote turnout issues.

Next, we infiltrate all the blogs and all the youtube videos and overwhelm the voting, the comments, etc. All to continue this appearance of overwhelming world support.

People makes posts to the effect that the world has “gone mad”

Thats the intention. To make you feel stressed and crazy and feel like the world is ending.

We have also had quite a hand in skewing many many polls, some we couldn’t control as much as we would have liked. But many we have spoiled over. Just enough to make real clear politics look scarey to a mccain supporter. Its worked, alough the goal was to appear 13-15 points ahead.

see, the results have been working. People tend to support a winner, go with the flow, become “sheeple”

The polls are roughly 3-5 points in favor of Barack. Thats due to our inflation of the polls and pulling in the sheeple.

Our donors, are the same people who finance the MSM. Their interests are tied, Barack then tends to come across as teflon. Nothing sticks. And trust, there were meetings with Fox news. The goal was to blunt them as much as possible. Watch Bill Oreilly he has become much more diplomatic and “fair and balanced” and soft. Its because he wants to retain the #1 spot on cable news and to do that he has to have access to the Obama campaign and we worked hard at stringing him a long and keeping him soft for an interview swap. It worked and now he is anticipating more access. So he is playing it still soft.

This is why nothing sticks.

The operation is massive, the goal is to paint a picture that is that of a winner, regardless of the results.

There is no true inauguration draft or true grant park construction going on. There will be a party, but we are boasting beyond the truth to make it seem like the election is wrapped up.

Our goal is to continue to make you lose your moral. We worked hard at persuasion and paying off and timing and playing the right political numbers to get key republican endorsements to make it seem even more like it was over and the world was coming to an end for you all.

There is a huge staff of people working around the clock, watching every site, blogs, etc. We flood these sites. We have had a goal to overwhelm.

The truth is here. I could go on and on, but you get the picture.

I am saying this because I know HRC was better for the country, and now realize this. I was too late by the time I connected to her. To me Barack was just a cool young dude that seemed like a star. I didn’t know him or his policies, but now I understand more than I care to and I realize his interests are more for him, and the DNC and all working like puppets with dean. I always thought a president wanted the better good for the country. The end result I see is everyone dependent on the government, this means more and more people voting for the DNC. This means the future is forever altered. I don’t see this as america, so I am now supporting John Mccain.

Sarah Palin is a huge threat, and our campaign has feared her like you can’t imagine. If it seems unfair how she has been treated, well its because she has had a team working round the clock to make her look like a fool.

this is a big conspiracy and I am so shocked that its not realized.

We released a little blurb the other day that the Obama campaign was already working on reelection and now putting our efforts towards 2012. This was to make it seem like it was above us to continue caring about 2008. Trust me, its a lie. David is very smart, but its a sticky ugly not very truthful kind of intelligence.

Its not over yet, but I think the machine is working. And its a hill to climb.

I will be quitting my post on nov 5th and my vote will be for John Mccain. Fortunately, my position has been a marketing position and I don’t feel I had any part of anything I would feel guilty for. But I look forward to getting out of this as the negativity and environment upsets me.

I wish you all well, and goodluck.

PS my name is not really sarah. but I am a female and I understand your plight.

Wild Thing's comment..........

I am so glad Mark sent this to me. This is exactly the kind of thing in part and in whole that the left has done in past elections but nothing in comparison to what they have been donig in this one. It has become even bigger then the left has ever done before. Maybe because this time they have more funds due to Obama's huge amount of backing from Arabs and other places, like Soros etc. But it is huge and it also explains a lot of what we have been seeing.

....Thank you so much Mark for sending this to me.

William Ayers' Forgotten Communist Manifesto: Prairie Fire

William Ayers' forgotten communist manifesto: Prairie Fire

I recommend going to this site and reading the page. It is a quick read, even though it hs a lot of information.

Ann Coulter on Hannity & Colmes discussing about Obama's radical associations and friends and how the media covers for Obama.

Hannity Reveals Shocking Connection between Ayers and Obama

Obama's friend Bill Ayers and his wife wrote a book dedicated to the man who shot and killed Robert Kennedy... the same friend who held fundraisers for Obama a few years ago.

The American people that voted for Obama should be rounded up and imprisoned for putting the country in danger like this. This is a communist takeover of America.

Wild Thing's comment..........

Shaking my head...... never ever in my life, could I have imagined someone like Barack Hussein Obama would be a Senator and then be allowed to run for President. Being part black has nothing to do with it. Obama is a communist and his associations mark him as an enemy of our country.

Obama's Anti-Israel Islamic Pals

Obama's Anti-Israel Islamic Pals

Israel National News

by Sammy Benoit

Khalidi is just one of many.

The controversy surrounding Senator Barack Obama's friendship with Rashid Khalidi, and the tape being suppressed by the Los Angeles Times, is overshadowing the important fact that Khalidi is just one of many Israel-hating Islamic characters that Obama has allied himself with.

For example, these people are connected directly to his Senate office or campaign:

* Cynthia K. Miller, treasurer of his Senate campaign, is a member of a member Louis Farrakhan's Nation of Islam.

* Jennifer Mason, Obama's Director of Constituent Services, is also a member of the Nation of Islam.

* Other Nation of Islam members, including consultant Shakir Muhammad, held important roles in the Obama state Senate campaign.

And they had their influence. When Obama first ran for the US Senate, he gave militant responses to the Chicago Jewish News about Israel. Obama denounced Israel's fence, which he called a "wall" and "barrier to peace." He favored working with Yasser Arafat. When members of the Chicago Jewish community circulated his responses, Obama said that the answers were not his positions, but the work of a low-level intern. He submitted new answers. But that was a lie, an insider says. In fact, they were the work of Obama's Policy Director, Audra Wilson. Moreover, Obama told the insider that he blamed the Mideast conflict on the Jews: "Barack told me that he felt that the Jewish community was too inflexible, and that was why the situation in the Mideast could not be resolved." (Source: Debbie Schlussel)

There are also some "bigger fish" in Obama's Crew of Anti-Israel Friends:

* The Khalid al-Mansour connection: According to former Manhattan Borough president Percy Sutton, Mansour "was raising money for" Obama's expenses at Harvard Law School. Mansour, a Black American (né Don Warden), became adviser to Saudi prince Al-Walid Bin-Talal, CAIR's largest individual donor. Mansour holds standard Islamist views: he absolves the Islamist government in Sudan of sponsoring slavery; he denies a Jewish tie to Jerusalem; and he wrote a booklet titled "Americans Beware! The Zionist Plot Against S. Arabia." (Both Obama and Mansour deny Sutton's account.)

* The Kenny Gamble (also known as Luqman Abdul-Haqq) connection: Gamble, a once-prominent pop music producer, cut the ribbon to the Obama campaign headquarters housed in a South Philadelphia building he owns. Gamble is an Islamist who buys large swaths of real estate to create Muslim-only residential areas. Also, as the self-styled "emir" of the United Muslim Movement, he has many links to Islamist organizations, including CAIR and the Muslim Alliance in North America. (MANA's "emir" is Siraj Wahhaj, an unindicted co-conspirator in the 1993 World Trade Center bombing.)

* The Mazen Asbahi connection: The Obama campaign's first Muslim outreach coordinator resigned after it came to light that he had served on the board of a subsidiary of the Saudi-sponsored North American Islamic Trust with Jamal Said, an unindicted co-conspirator in the 2007 Hamas funding trial. Asbahi has ties to CAIR's Chicago and Detroit offices, to the Islamic Society of North America, yet another unindicted co-conspirator in the Hamas funding trial, and to other Islamist organizations.

* The Minha Husaini connection: The campaign's second Muslim outreach coordinator has an Islamist background, having served as an intern in the Muslim Public Service Network. Immediately upon her appointment by Obama, she met with a group of about 30 Muslims, including such notorious figures as CAIR's Nihad Awad, the Muslim American Society's Mahdi Bray, who has publicly supported Hamas and Hizbullah, and Johari Abdul Malik of the Dar al-Hijrah Mosque in Falls Church, Virginia, who has advised American Muslims: "You can blow up bridges, but you cannot kill people who are innocent on their way to work." (Source: Daniel Pipes) One prominent Palestinian-American will tell you that Obama is hiding his true feelings toward the Jewish State.

So, how can Senator Obama be pro-Israel and have so many anti-Israel buddies? Well, one prominent Palestinian-American will tell you that Obama is hiding his true feelings toward the Jewish State.

Ali Abunimah is a pro-Arab journalist and founder of the Electronic Intifada website. He will tell you that Senator Obama is full of crap when he says that he is pro-Israel: "If disappointing, given his historically close relations to Palestinian-Americans, Obama's about-face is not surprising. He is merely doing what he thinks is necessary to get elected."

Abunimah says that Obama has long been a friend of the Palestinian community, but he knows where the money is. He has changed his position because those in the pro-Israel camp (American Jews?) have the money to get him elected.

So, folks, you see you really don't need the LA Times video to figure out what Senator Obama said at that dinner. It was probably something horribly anti-Israel, like, "Israel has no God-given right to occupy Palestine" or that there's been "genocide against the Palestinian people by Israelis." Either way, it is clear that those who love the Jewish State should not be voting for him next Tuesday.

Wild Thing's comment..........

This is a good article, I know there is a lot around the internet about the protests at the LA Times and when I saw this article I thought it was important to bring these things up as well.

To think Obama would favor Israel and Jews over his Muslim connection and his very close ties to the Nation of Islam is kidding themselves.

Remember the rock group The Decemberists that were openers for that rallty Obama had in Portland, where he supposedly had something like 75,000 people attend? That rock group always plays "the old Soviet National anthem" in its entirety before they come on stage. I think that is where Glenn Beck got the idea to make this video. He or whoever did it for him did a good job on it.

Obama's sheep would be more then happy with what is seen in this video. They might even be hoping for it, at least some of them.

Barack Obama's Plans To Change America

The Plot to Overthrow the United States of America

Barrack Obama has dark plans for this country

When asked recently where Obama plans on getting money for the vast number of plans he has he has said bringing the troops home and not spending the money we are spending on the war. He will rip off our military financially, stop funding them is what I get out of this.

All the other politicians that I can remember they all had a past, friends from childhood, people that spoke up that worked with them, family that actually showed up at the DNC convention or in the news. Obama has had none of this. His family from either side did not come to the convention, and he could have paid their way there is he wanted them there. Even when he went to Hawaii, his wife did not go with him to see his WHITE grandmother, nor did Obama's daughters go to see their grandma. How weird is that.

He was a community organizer and yet have any of us heard from people in his Chicago hood that have come forth to tell us how wonderful Obama was and how he helped them as a community organizer. NONE that I have heard about.

We found out Obama has a brother living in a hut and this week we found out he has an Aunt living in the slums. But Barack and Michelle have enough money to help these relatives if they wanted to. Obama speaks of wanting to help those making less then the middle class income and yet his own relatives live in less then acceptable conditions and he does not extend a hand to help them.

The DNC and their minions react with almost rage when we bring up Ayers like it is no big deal and how wonderful Ayers is now to be a Professor according to them. But Ayers is a Professor of anti-American things and is not doing harmless teaching.

We have seen the many ties Obama has to American hating groups, friends that would be or have been listed to be watched by our government. The Black Panthers, Frank Davis a known communist was on a list by our government and this man was a huge mentor of Obama's.

This video has all of that and more, it is well worth watching and one that really should be sent out to others. The video will have things on it you have already seen but there are also new things and added information.

What Daniel Pipes has to say is VERY interesting it is further into the video.

PA Arabs in Gaza Campaigning for Barack Obama

(IsraelNN.com)

A Palestinian Authority newspaper reported on Sunday that Arab residents of Gaza are randomly calling Americans at home in hopes of persuading them to vote for Democratic candidate Senator Barack Obama in next month's US presidential election.

The article in Al-Hayat Al-Jadida, first noted and translated by Palestinian Media Watch, quotes a young man from the Hamas-controlled Gaza region as saying, "We dial random numbers and try to call people in the United States without knowing their identity or their affiliation...." He reportedly uses "Internet sites that allow making free calls... in order to use them for the campaign supporting Obama."

The Al-Hayat Al-Jadida article said, "Most of the Palestinians feel hatred towards USA, whose administrations have always stood by Israel...." The Gaza-based Obama campaigner, Ibrahim Abu Jayyab, "said that a large number of Palestinians dislike their activity..." Those PA residents "do not see any difference between the American politicians Obama and Republican candidate Sen. John McCain because of the hostility that they feel towards America," the report explained.

"But Abu Jayyab's hope is that their activity will have some impact in support of Obama," according to the newspaper report.

Previous Support From Gaza Abu Jayyab's freelance phone campaign for Obama in the last weeks of the American presidential race has not been the first time the Illinois senator has gotten such help. An Al-Jazeera TV report during the Democratic primaries featured Abu Jayyab as well, when he was busy organizing calls to American voters to persuade them to vote for Obama over then-candidate Sen. Hillary Clinton.

Other types of assistance have also been forthcoming from Gaza. In July of this year, Pamela Geller of the Atlas Shrugs blog revealed documents purporting to show that the Obama campaign received nearly $30,000 from two brothers living in Rafiah, in Hamas-controlled Gaza, during 2007.

Earlier, during an April 2008 interview with WABC radio and WorldNetDaily, Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh's Gaza-based political advisor Ahmed Yousef said, "Actually, we like Mr. Obama. We hope he will win the election and I do believe he is like John Kennedy, great man with great principle."

At the time, McCain commented, "I think it is very clear... why Hamas would not want me to be president of the United States, so if Senator Obama is favored by Hamas, I think people can make judgments accordingly."

Obama campaign spokespeople excoriated McCain and noted repeatedly that Obama has called Hamas a terrorist organization worthy of condemnation. In an interview with The Atlantic shortly thereafter, Obama warned people in the Middle East who were enthusiastic over his candidacy not to be "confused about my unyielding support for Israel's security."

Gun Sales Increase Could Predict Election

HillBuzz

We’re utterly fascinated by this.

In 2004, we don’t remember hearing about anyone scared Kerry was going to take their guns away - and we worked Pennsylvania for Kerry (Pittsburgh area). There were a lot of gun shops and firing ranges there, and we never heard anything about people stocking up on guns because they were scared Kerry was going to try to take them away.

Obama is perceived as more liberal than Kerry, and in fact the most liberal Democrat that’s run for president in as long as anyone can remember. Biden as VP makes this the most liberal ticket that Democrats have ever fielded. There is nothing about it that puts the bitter, gun-and-relgion-people-who-are-apathetic-to-those-not-like-them living in Pennsylvania at ease.

Absolutely nothing.

In fact, the thought of Obama becoming president freaks these people out. So much so that they’re stocking up on firearms.

We just don’t see how this can bode well for Obama. These are “Reagan Democrats” and Republicans. They’re Clinton Democrats too. And they recoil at the thought of an Obama administration.

Have you ever heard of anything like this? We checked, and can’t see any evidence of this in past elections — where the Democrat so freaked rural, working class, sportsman types out that they felt compelled to stock up on weapons to protect themselves.

We think this is a piece of a larger puzzle…one that’s becoming much more clear as we inch closer to November 4th:

(1) Democrats like us at HillBuzz are working with Republicans for the first time in our lives to elect John McCain/Sarah Palin because we do not like or trust Obama/Biden.

(2) Hillary Democrats not openly working for McCain are silently voting for him — and voting Republican for the first time in their lives in most cases.

(3) Early voting has not met Obama’s expectations — Republicans are tied or ahead in most states, and nowhere is Obama enjoying blowout advantages he claimed he’d have.

(4) In all states, there is a marked “enthusiasm gap” between support for Obama and support remembered for Kerry in 2004 or Gore in 2000…lack of yard signs, stickers, posters, and excitement to vote for Obama, despite what the media claims.

(5) Gun owners afraid of Obama, and stocking up on weapons because they are that freaked out by the thought of anyone voting for him.

We’d love your thoughts on that last one, as we think it could be a cultural barometer like the Family Circle cookie baking contest or Halloween mask sales — something that shows a large scale cultural like or dislike of a candidate.

All of these anecdotal signs point to a McCain win…with those gun sales being the most fascinating of all.

Because those gun owners are the heart of the country. If Obama hasn’t won them over, and instead seems to have driven them away, screaming, then we just don’t see how he wins.

Wild Thing's comment.........

Well yes, what does the left expect when they nominate a Marxist Barack Hussein Obama. Like the article from Hillary's Buzz says even some Democrats as well don't want their guns taken away and not all of them are as left as Obama, Pelosi, Reid and others pushing the communist, Marxist agenda on our country. Add in all the Democrats that are upset, rightly so about their vote literally being stolen from them by Obama and the DNC.

Look at this below, it is very telling of how people on the left (Democrats) have reacted to Obama as the candidate.

Obama's Tax Plan - Penn & Teller and Updated with Joe The Plumber

OBAMA's TAX PLAN - Penn & Teller and gang return to comment on Barack Obama's socialist plans to turn the United States into a Marxist wasteland!

If you notice, Barack Obama keeps his distance from the American public and does not let them question him one on one. The few instances he's done it, town hall meetings, have been disastrous and he ends up stuttering a bullshit answer.

Wild Thing's comment........

LOL I love how they make these videos! Wouldn't it be great if someone would slip a video like this in so it shows on a backdrop while Barack Hussein Obama is giving a speech . Oh how I would love that. heh heh

Bill Clinton Speaks At Penn State Small Crowd Compared To Gov.Sarah Palin's

Clinton draws 1,500 people in Penn State compared to the 7,000 plus and 1000's that had to be turned away at Gov. Sarah Palin Rally at Penn State.

University Park

Former President Bill Clinton, in his fourth visit to Penn State in 12 years, campaigned for Barack Obama on Wednesday, saying “we need a president who wants to understand.”

How much have we suffered from people who did not want to understand?” he added.

Clinton delivered a 22-minute speech Wednesday afternoon before about 1,500 people — mostly Penn State students — in Rec Hall, where Republican vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin held a rally the night before that drew about 7,000.

Wild Thing's comment.......

YUK, I wouldn't go to hear any speaker that spoke about how I needed understanding for my suffering. He assumes I suppose that his entire audience is sufffff-errr--ing.... Like some horrible soap opera. haha

How boreing and being a Democrat there is no way Clinton could make a person feel positive. Just more of the hope in the air baloney and how awful America is ......to them anyway!

It would be soooo depressing to be a Democrat voting for Obama, how awful life would be if that is all I had to look forward to. A communist wanting to keep me needy to the big ole government.

BOOM! Obama Speechwriter Switches to McCain

Obama Speechwriter Switches to McCain

How Did America Become Great?

Imagine if a speechwriter for John McCain had switched sides and announced she was going to vote for Barack Obama. Would she not be featured bigtime in the mainstream media complete with new thrills running up Chris Matthews leg? Well, this did happen except that it was an Obama speechwriter, Wendy Button, who became disillusioned with The One and switched to supporting McCain.

Here are the highlights of Wendy Button's explanation of why she made the switch:

Since I started writing speeches more than ten years ago, I have always believed in the Democratic Party. Not anymore. Not after the election of 2008. This transformation has been swift and complete and since I’m a woman writing in the election of 2008, “very emotional."

When we first met, Obama and I had a nice conversation about speeches and writing, and at the end of the meeting I handed him a pocket-sized bottle of Grey Poupon mustard so he wouldn’t have to ask staff if it was okay to put it on his hamburger. At the bottom of the bottle was the logo for “The South Beach Diet” and he snapped, “Oh so you read People magazine.” He seemed to think that I was commenting on his bathing suit picture.

I helped with his announcement speech and others. I worked in the Senate when he was in D.C. One day after a hearing on Darfur, we were walking back to the office. I was still hobbling from a very bad ankle injury and in a very kind and gentle way he offered his arm when we approached the stairs. But later in debate preps and phone conversations and meetings, I realized that I had made a mistake. I didn’t belong. No matter how hard I tried, my heart wasn’t in it anymore.

...The final straw came the other week when Samuel Joseph Wurzelbacher (a.k.a Joe the Plumber) asked a question about higher taxes for small businesses. Instead of celebrating his aspirations, they were mocked. He wasn’t “a real plumber,” and “They’re fighting for Joe the Hedge-Fund manager,” and the patronizing, “I’ve got nothing but love for Joe the Plumber.”

Having worked in politics, I know that absolutely none of this is on the level. This back and forth is posturing, a charade, and a political game. These lines are what I refer to as “hooker lines”—a sure thing to get applause and the press to scribble as if they’re reporting meaningful news.

As the nation slouches toward disaster, the level of political discourse is unworthy of this moment in history. We have Republicans raising Ayers and Democrats fostering ageism with “erratic” and jokes about Depends. Sexism. Racism. Ageism and maybe some Socialism have all made their ugly cameos in election 2008. It’s not inspiring. Perhaps this is why I found the initial mocking of Joe so offensive and I realized an old line applied: “I didn’t leave the Democratic Party; the Democratic Party left me.”

The party I believed in wouldn’t look down on working people under any circumstance. And Joe the Plumber is right. This is the absolutely worst time to raise taxes on anyone: the rich, the middle class, the poor, small businesses and corporations.

...Not only has this party belittled working people in this campaign from Joe the Plumber to the bitter comments, it has also been part of tearing down two female candidates. At first, certain Democrats and the press called Senator Clinton “dishonest.” They went after her cleavage. They said her experience as First Lady consisted of having tea parties. There was no outrage over “Bros before Hoes” or “Iron My Shirt.” Did Senator Clinton make mistakes? Of course. She’s human.

But here we are about a week out and it’s déjà vu all over again. Really, front-page news is how the Republican National Committee paid for Governor Sarah Palin’s wardrobe? Where’s the op-ed about how Obama tucks in his shirt when he plays basketball or how Senator Biden buttons the top button on his golf shirt?

...Governor Palin and I don’t agree on a lot of things, mostly social issues. But I have grown to appreciate the Governor. I was one of those initial skeptics and would laugh at the pictures. Not anymore. When someone takes on a corrupt political machine and a sitting governor, that is not done by someone with a low I.Q. or a moral core made of tissue paper. When someone fights her way to get scholarships and work her way through college even in a jagged line, that shows determination and humility you can’t learn from reading Reinhold Niebuhr. When a mother brings her son with special needs onto the national stage with love, honesty, and pride, that gives hope to families like mine as my older brother lives with a mental disability. And when someone can sit on a stage during the Sarah Palin rap on Saturday Night Live, put her hands in the air and watch someone in a moose costume get shot—that’s a sign of both humor and humanity.

Has she made mistakes? Of course, she’s human too. But the attention paid to her mistakes has been unprecedented compared to Senator Obama’s “57 states” remarks or Senator Biden using a version of the Samuel Johnson quote, “There’s nothing like a hanging in the morning to focus a man’s thoughts.”

...I was dead wrong about the surge and thought it would be a disaster. Senator John McCain led when many of us were ready to quit. Yet we march on as if nothing has changed, wedded to an old plan, and that too is a long way from the Democratic Party.

I can no longer justify what this party has done and can’t dismiss the treatment of women and working people as just part of the new kind of politics. It’s wrong and someone has to say that. And also say that the Democratic Party’s talking points—that Senator John McCain is just four more years of the same and that he’s President Bush—are now just hooker lines that fit a very effective and perhaps wave-winning political argument…doesn’t mean they’re true. After all, he is the only one who’s worked in a bipartisan way on big challenges.

Wild Thing's comment.......

Oh my gosh this is huge. Now we wait and see if the media will pick up on this. Tapping my foot........hahahaha well nothing from CNN yet. haahaha

I bet FOX will cover this later today if they haven't done it so far.

This woman could have just simply left the Obama campaign so for her to speak out and switch like this is awesome. I like the way she broke it down in her reasons for getting fed up with Obama and his camp.

Obama Accepting Untraceable Donations

washington post

By Matthew Mosk

Sen. Barack Obama's presidential campaign is allowing donors to use largely untraceable prepaid credit cards that could potentially be used to evade limits on how much an individual is legally allowed to give or to mask a contributor's identity, campaign officials confirmed.

Faced with a huge influx of donations over the Internet, the campaign has also chosen not to use basic security measures to prevent potentially illegal or anonymous contributions from flowing into its accounts, aides acknowledged. Instead, the campaign is scrutinizing its books for improper donations after the money has been deposited.

The Obama organization said its extensive review has ensured that the campaign has refunded any improper contributions, and noted that Federal Election Commission rules do not require front-end screening of donations.

In recent weeks, questionable contributions have created headaches for Obama's accounting team as it has tried to explain why campaign finance filings have included itemized donations from individuals using fake names, such as Es Esh or Doodad Pro. Those revelations prompted conservative bloggers to further test Obama's finance vetting by giving money using the kind of prepaid cards that can be bought at a drugstore and cannot be traced to a donor.

The problem with such cards, campaign finance lawyers said, is that they make it impossible to tell whether foreign nationals, donors who have exceeded the limits, government contractors or others who are barred from giving to a federal campaign are making contributions.

"They have opened the floodgates to all this money coming in," said Sean Cairncross, chief counsel to the Republican National Committee. "I think they've made the determination that whatever money they have to refund on the back end doesn't outweigh the benefit of taking all this money upfront."

The Obama campaign has shattered presidential fundraising records, in part by capitalizing on the ease of online giving. Of the $150 million the senator from Illinois raised in September, nearly $100 million came in over the Internet.

The Obama team's disclosures came in response to questions from The Washington Post about the case of Mary T. Biskup, a retired insurance manager from Manchester, Mo., who turned up on Obama's FEC reports as having donated $174,800 to the campaign. Contributors are limited to giving $2,300 for the general election.

Biskup, who had scores of Obama contributions attributed to her, said in an interview that she never donated to the candidate. "That's an error," she said. Moreover, she added, her credit card was never billed for the donations, meaning someone appropriated her name and made the contributions with another card.

When asked whether the campaign takes steps to verify whether a donor's name matches the name on the credit card used to make a payment, Obama's campaign replied in an e-mail: "Name-matching is not a standard check conducted or made available in the credit card processing industry. We believe Visa and MasterCard do not even have the ability to do this.

Wild Thing's comment......

This is another reason why the left does not like the Patriotic Act.

My guess is that Obama knows most of his contributions are illegal and he could care less. He does not have to be accountable on anything so why should he worry. Demcorats are the party of not having to be accountable.

This was on FOX this morning. They explained that the Obama's campaign does not have AVS turned on for it's credit card processing on donations (AVS = Address Verification Service).

They said a lot, a ton of money was coming in from Europe and all kinds of other placles. Fox went on to list some of the names: Adolf Hilter, Yogi Bear, William Ayers.

Clinton Appointed Judge Rules Ohio Homeless Voters May List Park Benches As Addresses

Judge rules Ohio homeless voters may list park benches as addresses

The Columbus Dispatch

COLUMBUS, Ohio

A federal judge in Ohio has ruled that counties must allow homeless voters to list park benches and other locations that aren't buildings as their addresses.

U.S. District Judge Edmund Sargus also ruled that provisional ballots can't be invalidated because of poll worker errors.

Monday's ruling resolved the final two pieces of a settlement between the Northeast Ohio Coalition for the Homeless and Secretary of State Jennifer Brunner.

The coalition agreed to drop a constitutional challenge to Ohio's voter identification law until after the Nov. 4 election. In return, Brunner and the coalition agreed on procedures to verify provisional ballots across all Ohio counties.

The coalition was concerned that unequal treatment of provisional ballots would disenfranchise some voters.

Wild Thing's comment.........

Due to ACORN and so much voter fraud this is absolutely just ludicrous. It is not about not wanting Americans to vote it is about making sure there is no way for fraud. This opens up a whole mess if they do this. Wouldn't it be better to have the homeless register at a Homeless shelter or a church, that way it can be more accurate and less chance of voting fraud. What the hell kind of address is a park bench!

What address do they use if they are someone that gets a Social security check?? Maybe that address is one they can use. A person is supposed to be able to verify that you are a resident of the state. How can that be verified using a park bench as an address?

This whole voting thing is so corrupt it is starting to lose it's meaning. I know that sounds radical but this voter fraud is really making me feel insecure about my vote, about all of our votes and I don't like it one bit!

I want to win or lose honestly not because a ton of corrupt democrats and ACORN and Judges put the fix in so they win an election. This is America for pete's sake! Damn, democrats!!! They undermine and destroy confidence in the election process. ACORN will now register 139 people per park bench.

What the heck is next, Federal Judge in Ohio Rules Dead Can Still Vote: “They’re still American citizens and have rights. Just because you’re dead doesn’t mean you give up your civil rights. AND they have a known address

Ohio sure wants to elect Barack Hussein Obama!

With all of this happening, this is another reason I am sooo glad the reaction to Gov. Sarah Palin has been so awesome. McCain and Palin are doing great and I am getting a stronger feeling about how we will do every day. Obama is messing up a lot. And there are people out there that have not voted yet and they also must be noticing all this cutting of interviews with TV stations, the $2 Million Biden is having to answer for he got for his family and the 2001 audio tape of Obama which was huge. Just keep praying!!!!!

Information on Judge:
Clinton appointee

HOMELESS ‘DRIVEN’ TO VOTE OBAMA ACORN OHIO VOTER FRAUD

CLEVELAND - Volunteers supporting Barack Obama picked up hundreds of people at homeless shelters, soup kitchens and drug-rehab centers and drove them to a polling place yesterday on the last day that Ohioans could register and vote on the same day, almost no questions asked.

The huge effort by a pro-Obama group, Vote Today Ohio, takes advantage of a quirk in the state’s elections laws that allows people to register and cast ballots at the same time without having to prove residency.

Republicans have argued that the window could lead to widespread voter fraud because officials wouldn’t have an opportunity to verify registration information before ballots were cast.

Among the volunteers were Yori Stadlin and Vivian Lehrer of the Upper West Side, who got married last week and decided to spend their honeymoon shepherding voters to the Cuyahoga County Board of Elections.

Early today, Stadlin’s van picked up William Woods, 59, at the soup kitchen of the Bishop Cosgrove Center.

“I never voted before,” Woods said, because of a felony conviction that previously barred him from the polls. “Without this service, I would have had no way to get here.”

Obama's Stealth Reparations

FrontPage Magazine

By Paul Sperry

While he was an Illinois state senator, Barack Obama told a Chicago radio show host that he sought "major redistributive change" for the benefit of fellow blacks.

He was speaking in the context of the civil rights movement, and how it had fallen short of "economic justice." Although John McCain and other Republicans are afraid to say it, his remarks can only be interpreted to mean one thing: economic reparations for slavery.

This is yet another example of Obama's lack of candor and deception about his true radical agenda during this campaign, as well as the mainstream media's failure to vet such serious issues and force them out into the open where voters can see them and have a fair chance to evaluate them before they go to the polls.

In 2001, Obama said it's a "tragedy" the Constitution wasn't radically interpreted to force redistribution of wealth for blacks, and it's still an issue of concern for him today. And he suggested he wants to effect "major redistributive change" through legislation.

He complained that during the civil-rights era, "the Supreme Court never ventured into issues of redistribution of wealth" for blacks, and that the Warren Court was not "radical" enough.

"One of the tragedies of the civil-rights movement was there was a tendency to lose track of the political and community organizing activities on the ground that are able to put together the actual coalitions of power through which you bring about redistributive change," he said while serving as a state lawmaker and University of Chicago lecturer. "And in some ways, we still suffer from that."

That was in 2001. Now those coalitions, led by ACORN and other radical urban community organizers, hope to deliver Obama to national power along with a legislative majority working on their behalf.

"Maybe I'm sharing my bias here as a legislator, but I'm not optimistic about bringing about major redistributive change through the courts," he added. "The institution just isn't structured that way."

Obama explained that justices felt uncomfortable forcing school districts to pay the extra expense to make the necessary changes to accommodate their desegregation rulings. They would rather not get involved in issues of direct remuneration. Legislators, on the other hand, would have no such qualms about making people pay.

He said the process of redistributive change and "economic justice" is "administrative and takes a lot of time" -- things that are best left to a federal administration and legislature.

In a separate interview, he said the framers of the Constitution had an "enormous blind spot" regarding slavery -- no argument there. But then he said that the Constitution -- in spite of its subsequent proper amendments giving blacks full citizenship and rights -- still "represents the fundamental flaw of this country that continues to this day."

This echoes what he wrote in his 2006 autobiography about the Constitution being "marred by the original sin of slavery."

Question: Does Obama want to further amend the Constitution in some way? It seems he thinks something is missing, left undone. Does he want to institutionalize reparations somehow? It's a serious question he should be compelled to answer, if he would only give reporters outside his fawning entourage a chance to ask it. (He hasn't held a press conference in over a month.) Remember, Obama was a constitutional lawyer and would know how to get the amendment ratification process started with the right majority in Congress behind such a movement.

Back in August, Barack Obama said Washington shouldn't just offer apologies for slavery, but also "deeds." Don't worry, he said, he wasn't talking about direct reparations.

I wasn't put at ease then, and I'm definitely not now.

"I consistently believe that when it comes to ... reparations," Obama told a gathering of minority journalists, "the most important thing for the U.S. government to do is not just offer words, but offer deeds."

A few days later, he clarified his remarks, saying he was not calling for direct cash payments to descendents of slaves, but rather indirect aid in the form of government programs that will "close the gap" between what he sees as white America and black America.

In other words, stealth reparations.

He says government should offer "universal" programs -- such as universal health care, universal mortgage credits, college tuition, job training and even universal 401(k)s -- that "disproportionately affect people of color."

Obama's 2006 book and Web site outline a plan calling for essentially a government bailout of the inner cities, which he describes as "repositories for all the scars of slavery and violence of Jim Crow."

Among other things, he proposes:

* Doling out federal grants "targeting ex-offenders or substance abusers";
* Subsidizing supermarket chains that relocate to the inner city;
* Creating a "universal 401(k)" in which the government would tax private contributions and match public contributions made into new retirement accounts by low-income families;
* Imposing "goals and timetables for minority hiring" on large corporations whose work forces are deemed too white;
* Ramping up funding for the Community Development Block Grant program, Head Start and HUD public housing subsidies.
* Funding Small Business Administration loans for minority; businesses who train ex-felons, including gangbangers, for the "green jobs" of the future, such as installing extra insulation in homes;
* Doubling the funding for federal after-school programs such as midnight basketball;
* Subsidizing job training, day care, transportation for inner-city poor, as well as doubling the funding of the federal Jobs Access and Reverse Commute program;
* Expanding the eligibility of the earned income tax credit to include more poor, and indexing it to inflation;
* Adopting entire inner-city neighborhoods as wards of the federal government; and
* Spending billions on new inner-city employment programs, including prison-to-work programs.

This is just a down payment on the "economic justice" Obama has promised the NAACP -- financed by "tax laws that restore some balance to the distribution of the nation's wealth," he says in his book.

And the indirect aid he's proposing now could quickly turn into cash transfers once Obama is safely ensconced in the White House -- with perhaps a filibuster-proof majority of Democrats at the other end of Pennsylvania Avenue.

Claiming "blacks were forced into ghettos," Obama is certainly sympathetic to the idea of reparations. His church has actively petitioned for them for decades. And he's strongly suggested there's a legal case to be made for them.

"So many of the disparities that exist in the African-American community today can be directly traced to inequalities passed on from an earlier generation that suffered under the brutal legacy of slavery and Jim Crow," he said. "We still haven't fixed them."

He assumes the economic gap is a legacy of discrimination and largely unrelated to personal responsibility. He also makes it seem things haven't gotten better for blacks, despite statistics showing enormous economic gains and a rising black middle class ("Better isn't good enough," he insists). He also assumes, like his spiritual mentor Rev. Jeremiah Wright, that America is "still run by racism." Obama claims "institutional racism" still exists in America, without offering any evidence that legalized discrimination still remains in this country, even in its most backwater parts.

Another Obama confidante, Rev. Michael Pfleger, has asserted that white people have a moral obligation to surrender their 401(k) funds and other assets, which he suggested properly belong to blacks.

Obama himself has said more needs to be done to "cleanse America of its original sin." He said he cannot "brush aside the magnitude of the injustice done, or erase the ghosts of generations past, or ignore the open wound, the aching spirit, that ails this country still."

"The problems of inner-city poverty arise from our failure to face up to an often tragic past," Obama said.

He also wrote in his recent autobiography that he sympathizes with militant black activists who fear that "white Americans will be let off the hook" for past crimes, such as "a hundred years of lynching under several dozen administrations."

"I understand these fears," Obama said, and agrees that the government has a "responsibility to make things right," suggesting there is at least some legitimacy to militant demands for payback.

In calling for a "new order," he invoked the memory of abolitionists and their "willingness to spill blood and not just words ... that helped force the issue of a nation half slave and half free."

Apparently, Obama is under the delusion such a division still exists in this country, and that radical action must be taken to unshackle blacks from whatever fetters he imagines are holding them back.

"I'm reminded that deliberation and the constitutional order may sometimes be the luxury of the powerful," Obama said. "And that it has sometimes been the cranks, the zealots, the prophets, the agitators and the unreasonable -- in other words the absolutists -- that have fought for a new order." By cranks, zealots and agitators, he is no doubt referring to all the radicals -- from Wright and Pfleger to Frank Marshall Davis and Bill Ayers -- with whom he has surrounded himself.

Just what is this "new order" he and all his absolutist pals have in mind for America? And why keep it such a mystery from voters?

Wild Thing's comment...........

Barack Hussein Obama wants to shred the Constitution, and destroy our Republic.

The lives of brave Americans that fought, were injured and died to stop slavery means nothing to Obama and his ilk. It was not enough, not even close. They keep showing us how it meant nothing to them. So Obama also forgets he is descended himself from slave owners. Hello Obama!

This is as we all know not even a drop in the bucket of what Obama would like to happen.

Socialism is communism and it means the State will run our lives.Obama is stealth alright, he is a stealth Marxist or stealth communist have your pick all bad whichever it is. I sure as heck don't want this, no way. I have been praying so hard Obama does not win.

Obama hates our Constitution because he dismisses it and he doesn't like it, he wants to change it, he doesn't like its limits on government, he looks at that as a problem. The limits of power on government in the Constitution, represents a problem to Obama.

Obama wants to get judges on the bench that will invent law. as Rush Limbaugh explained the other day. I agree, Obama can't just go and change our Constitution he has to do it with Judges messing with it and that will be easy as President, he just has to hand pick Judges that will do it for him.

If you have the time this is soooo good. I wish that each one of you here and those lurking would listen to this. Rush Limbaugh is speaking about ..........

Pennsylvania Rallies Yesterday With McCain/Palin

Sarah gave three speeches in three different towns and would have given a fourth that got cancelled due to bad weather. God bless her. God blessed us with her.

Palin wows crowd at Shippensburg rally

"Our opponent is not being honest on his tax plan," said Palin.

Palin told the crowd, "Sen. Obama has an ideological commitment to high taxes."

"We have a pro-growth, pro-private sector agenda to get our economy back on track," said Palin.

Report on Governor Palin's Shippensburg Rally from Virginia Ridgerunner

"Shippensburg University, featuring Governor Palin and her husband Todd

There had to have been over 10,000 people show up to support Governor Palin. Inside, they all said the Pledge of Allegiance and the singer asked all the veterans present to raise their hands. There were a couple of hundred of them.

In her speech, Sarah talked about Obama concerning that 2001 interview on Chicago Public Radio in which he laid out his "spread the wealth" ideology and condemned the courts for not being more radical in "distributive change." She really took Barry to the woodshed on that, and then began hitting him hard with one issue after another, especially on taxes. In short, she said that both McCain and herself were committed to across the board tax cuts for everyone, including capital gains taxes and small business taxes.

She also announced that she was firmly behind coal as an energy source, and that she thought it was stupid that we were sending billions of dollars overseas in turn for foreign oil from governments which hate us when we could be spending those billions here developing our own internal energy supplies. Her speech was repeatedly interrupted by chants of "Sarah! Sarah! Sarah!" and "USA! USA! USA!", with regular choruses of boos anytime she brought up Obama's shady plans for the future.

PBS Poll Asking If Sarah Palin Is Qualified

PBS has an online poll posted, asking if Sarah Palin is qualified.

Apparently the left wing knew about this in advance and are flooding the voting with NO votes.

The poll will be reported on PBS and picked up by mainstream media. It can influence undecided voter in swing states.

Please do two things -- takes 20 seconds.

1) Click on link and vote YES! I mean if you want to and I hope you do. giggle)

Here's the link:
http://www.pbs.org/now/polls/poll-435.html

2) Then send this to every McCain-Palin supporter you know, and urge them to vote and pass it on.
The last thing we need is PBS saying their viewers don't think Sarah Palin is qualified.

Another One: Obama/Biden Ban Philadelphia Station

Obama/Biden Ban Philadelphia Station After Tough Interview from any further interviews.

This is a new interview that happened between newscasters at CBS-3 in Philadelphia and Joe Biden. Joe Biden expected to be interviewed about the last Presidential debate and the Phillies. Instead, he got quesitons on how come “spreading wealth around isn’t socialist” and about potential inappropriate spending of campagin donations to his family members law firms and consulting practices.

Wild Thing's comment.........

First it was the station in Florida and now this one in Philly. These local stations are doing the job the main media is to chicken to do or to in love with the socialist/ Marxist's to do.

If Obama wins we can see how easily now he will have state-controlled media.

Kind of risky don't you think to do all this slamming of TV stations before Nov. 4th? Well yes I know since it is Obama he will never be called on it. But even so it is so wrong and he should be ticking people off for doing this. Apparently the media does not stick together all that much.

I feel like one morning I will wake up and all of this will just have been some horrible, sick nightmare.

Military Ballots Being Rejected in Virginia aka Democrats HATE Our Military!

Fairfax County Registrar Rokey Suleman is disqualifying an overwhelming majority of the military federal write-in absentee ballots received in his county on the basis that no address had been given for those witnessing the voter signatures on the ballots. According to Springfield District Supervisor

Pat Herrity and four former members of the military who held a press conference on Thursday, over 98 percent of these military absentee ballots in Fairfax County are being rejected.

Fairfax Co. Registrar Rokey Suleman. He has decided to reject absentee ballots from American soldiers stationed overseas. In fact, some of the ballots he's not counting are those from military personnel serving in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Mr. Suleman is using a technicality to throw out hundreds of our brave soldier’s votes. Except that Marc Ambinder reports that the Suleman is getting the technicalities wrong.

Voter disenfranchisement in any form is wrong, but the fact that some are actively seeking to take away the right to vote from the very people that are fighting to defend this fundamental American principal is deplorable.

Furthermore, Suleman is a partisan. He was the founder of the Trumbull, OH Young Democrats. Earlier this year, he ran, and lost, for the Ohio Democratic State Central Committee

“I am getting e-mails from people offering to buy my tombstone,” Fairfax County Registrar Rokey Suleman said Monday about the brewing controversy over his decision to comply with a Virginia law regarding a small class of absentee ballots for next week’s presidential election.

The ballots have fallen victim to the interplay between state and federal law and a rare set of factual circumstances. Federal law allows members of the U.S. military and other voters living overseas to vote in the general election using a federal write-in absentee ballot. The problem has been caused by the fact that when a Virginia voter decides to use the federal write-in absentee ballot both as a ballot to cast a vote and as an absentee ballot application, a separate Virginia law requires that the paperwork submitted by the voter include the address of the person acting as a witness for the voter.

But here’s the issue: neither the federal absentee write-in ballot itself nor its instructions mentions Virginia’s requirement that the witness’s address be included. In fact, the ballot form doesn’t even have a space to write down the witness address which Virginia requires.

You can tell Rokey Suleman to honor our American soldiers and count their votes.

Wild Thing's comment........

This is yet one more trick they pull toss military ballots - but round up the homeless and felons and make sure THEIR votes count.

Only democrats would disenfranchise our military. They are disgraceful.

It is NOT the Republicans that keep the military from voting, NOT the Republicans that protest our military!!!!

We CANNOT let this happen again!!! Our brave military personnel more than anyone else deserve to have their voting rights protected.

Don't mess with our military!!!!!!!!!!! This has happened TOO MANY TIMES, for TOO MANY YEARS!!!!!!!!

Rep. Barney Frank Calls For 25% Cut In Military Spending

Barny Frank vows to Disassemble the US Military

Wild Thing's comment...........

This is what they did during the Vietnam War and then Reagan had to rebuild our military. Then Clinton made cuts in it and now the democrats once again want to make more cuts and less funding. A person would have to be deaf, dumb and blind not to see that DEMOCRATS hate and loath our military!!!

Thinking daisy cutter might be a nice gift to happen to............. well I am only thinking it and it does put a smile on my face. heh heh

Obama civilian national security force.

We cannot continue to rely on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives we've set. We've got to have a civilian national security force that's just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded."

Tito The Builder Introduces Gov. Sarah Palin

Wild Thing's comment..........

I loved when Tito yelled “I was born in Columbia, but I was made in the US” at Woodbridge, VA rally a couple weeks ago. He knows he does not want the USA to go socialist, communist/ Marxist.
How soon the democrats have forgotten why they family came to this country especially if they came from a communist country.

Nicholas told me one time when he was visiting home from the Navy, they were sitting at the dining room table and one of his Uncles started to talk about Communism. Nicholas Dad the man's brother stood up and told his brother off and said.....

" I came here to come to a free country, one that had no communism or socialism and you speak to me about how GREAT communism is? Leave now and never let your feet cross my doorway or shut up and never speak to me of such things again."

Nicholas said his Uncle sat there and did not say one more word.

Obama " Redistribution of Wealth" from 2001 Uncovered

In a 2001 Chicago Public Radio Interview Obama is discussing the best way to bring about a Redistribution of Wealth.....He also Warren Court was not liberal enough!!!!!

Audio Uncovered

"Barack Obama on Chicago Public Radio WBEZ-FM, 2001: The Supreme Court never ventured into the issues of redistribution of wealth, and of more basic issues such as political and economic justice in society... and one of the, I think, tragedies of the civil rights movement was, um, because the civil rights movement became so court focused I think there was a tendency to lose track of the political and community organizing and activities on the ground that are able to put together the actual coalition of powers through which you bring about redistributive change. In some ways we still suffer from that"..

.....watch video.......

The original show is from the January 18, 2001 Chicago Public Radio show Odyssey. Their audio archive is here:
The original is a longer version then the YouTube just to let you know.

http://www.chicagopublicradio.org/audio_library/od_rajan01.asp

The Original audio is here:

http://www.chicagopublicradio.org/audio_library/ram/od/od-010118.ram

TRANSCRIPT:

MODERATOR: Good morning and welcome to Odyssey on WBEZ Chicago 91.5 FM and we’re joined by Barack Obama who is Illinois State Senator from the 13th district and senior lecturer in the law school at the University of Chicago.

OBAMA: If you look at the victories and failures of the civil rights movement and its litigation strategy in the court, I think where it succeeded was to vest formal rights in previously dispossessed peoples. So that I would now have the right to vote, I would now be able to sit at the lunch counter and order and as long as I could pay for it I’d be okay.

But the Supreme Court never ventured into the issues of redistribution of wealth and sort of more basic issues of political and economic justice in this society. And to that extent as radical as people tried to characterize the Warren court, it wasn’t that radical. It didn’t break free from the essential constraints that were placed by the founding fathers in the Constitution, at least as it’s been interpreted, and the Warren court interpreted it in the same way that generally the Constitution is a charter of negative liberties. It says what the states can’t do to you, it says what the federal government can’t do to you, but it doesn’t say what the federal government or the state government must do on your behalf. And that hasn’t shifted. One of the I think tragedies of the civil rights movement was because the civil rights movement became so court focused, I think that there was a tendency to lose track of the political and community organizing and activities on the ground that are able to put together the actual coalitions of power through which you bring about redistributed change and in some ways we still suffer from that.

MODERATOR: Let’s talk with Karen. Good morning, Karen, you’re on Chicago Public Radio.

KAREN: Hi. The gentleman made the point that the Warren court wasn’t terribly radical with economic changes. My question is, is it too late for that kind of reparative work economically and is that that the appropriate place for reparative economic work to take place – the court – or would it be legislation at this point?

OBAMA: Maybe I’m showing my bias here as a legislator as well as a law professor, but I’m not optimistic about bringing about major redistributive change through the courts. The institution just isn’t structured that way.

You just look at very rare examples during the desegregation era the court was willing to for example order changes that cost money to a local school district. The court was very uncomfortable with it. It was very hard to manage, it was hard to figure out. You start getting into all sorts of separation of powers issues in terms of the court monitoring or engaging in a process that essentially is administrative and takes a lot of time.

The court’s just not very good at it and politically it’s very hard to legitimize opinions from the court in that regard. So I think that although you can craft theoretical justifications for it legally. Any three of us sitting here could come up with a rational for bringing about economic change through the courts.

Wild Thing's comment..........

This is nothing less then HUGE!!! It shoots down how Obama has said this is not what he is talking about, he can't deny it when he has actually said the very words. He wants to rip our Constitution to shreds! This man cannot become President of the United States of America!!! God help us if he does!

It is also a great video to forward and send to anyone you know that is a fence sitter, a doubter of what kind of nightmare Obama will be, or anyone that needs the truth to be told to them. I emailed it to a lot of people in the media and others that might have missed seeing it.

Obama's "religion" of 20 years, Black Liberation Theology, is Marxist. Goals are empowerment and reparations (spreading the wealth).

Gov.Sarah Palin Rally's Florida and N.C. on Sunday

Gov. Sarah Palin was introduced by Elisabeth Hasselbeck ( from The View tv show).

Governor Sarah Palin and The View co-host Elisabeth Hasselback walked out onto the stage together. Palin was also accompanied by her husband and children.

And Sean Hannity was also there to support Sarah.

Sarah Palin talks clothes at the Rally

Crowd Sings Happy Birthday to Palin’s Mom in Rally in N.C.

ASHEVILLE, NC

Local news says appx 10,000 in attendance

Sarah Palin walked into her rally today to the music of Gretchen Wilson. She asked the country singer who has performed at several of her stops to sing “one more song.”

Wilson obliged and belted out “Redneck Woman,” which has become her Palin rally signature song.

Clad in jeans, the GOP Vice-Presidential nominee started singing along and clapping to the music. She glanced back at her husband, Todd and waved to the supporters, clearly enjoying herself.

She then asked the crowd for a favor and they happily obliged.

“Again, so good to be here. Asheville, I was hoping that you could do one more favor for me as we just thanked Gretchen for that beautiful song. You guys we’re all one big American family here. Today is my mom’s birthday. And I want to surprise her by singing her Happy Birthday from all of you in North Carolina. And Gretchen is going to join us.”

She grabbed her cell phone and dialed her mother, Sally Heath and held up the phone as Wilson and about 7,500 supporters sang “Happy Birthday” to her mom in Alaska.

After the song, like most daughters it was hard to get off the phone with her mom. “No really mom, I gotta go, I do,” Palin said.

“Those of you who run our factories and grow our food and teach our children and you fight our wars this is where the goodness and the courage, the best of America is.” Palin said, “It’s in these areas where you love Amer–you have never been not proud to be an American you are proud to be an American.”

“We believe that the best of America is in these small towns that we get to visit, and in these wonderful little pockets of what I call the real America, being here with all of you hard working very patriotic, um, very, um, pro-America areas of this great nation.” Palin said, “This is where we find the kindness and the goodness and the courage of everyday Americans. Those who are running our factories and teaching our kids and growing our food and are fighting our wars for us. Those who are protecting us in uniform. Those who are protecting the virtues of freedom.”

CLICK HERE TO SEE ....... Gov. Palin sing along to both “Redneck Woman” and “Happy Birthday:”

Just go to the page and the video is at the bottom of the article. It is really a fun one to watch.

Wild Thing's comment..........

Sarah Palin did two rallies in Florida on Sunday and both went really great. After Florida she went on to to North Carolina on Sunday night.

Sarah is a natural, I think that is another reason many in the media are jealous of her. I think she is great and look forward to her being our VP offically! Tah dah!

McCain on Meet The Press With Detestable Tom Brokaw

Sen. John McCain on Meet the Press today where Tom Brokaw really pressed John McCain on the subject of Sarah Palin. McCain told Brokaw that Palin "needs no defense," and that he is "incredibly proud of her."

I listened to the entire interview and I have to say I was proud of many of McCain's answers. Tom Brokaw on the other hand is the typical phony total jerk freaking LIBERAL true to his agenda. And agenda that he worships more then being a good America, more then making money off the backs of Veterans and war heroes with the stupid books he has written and is imo a waste of good air.

This is just a part of his interview on Meet The Press, it is the part where McCain is asked about Gov. Sarah Palin. McCain does GREAT in his reply. I thought you would like to see it.

How Obama Suporters Show THEIR Support

TO VIEW THE VIDEO ABOVE HERE AT THEIR WEBSITE

"Twenty-five residents of a Gainesville neighborhood woke up this morning to discover their homes had been spray-painted with an obscene comment about the 2008 presidential race. Several businesses were hit as well.

“This is clear voter intimidation,” Corey A. Stewart, At-Large Chairman of the Prince William Board of County Supervisors, said. “The residents targeted by these hoodlums all had McCain for President yard signs in their front yards.”

“Having your home defaced with obscenity because of political beliefs is a hate crime” Stewart said, “This is terrorizing the community.”

“Voter intimidation will not be tolerated in Prince William County. The residents notified the police. I am asking our Commonwealth’s Attorney to investigate. I will seek state and federal investigations as well. Prince William County must be safe for freedom of speech. If we can catch the reprobate who did this, we’ll prosecute them to the fullest extent of the law.”

Stewart added: “We’ve had ACORN and other nuts kicking around down here in Prince William for weeks. I suppose this was bound to happen eventually. But we won’t stand for it.”

Wild Thing's comment........

These people that do this kind of thing can't even respect other people's property. The media should be showing this including the F word painted on property. Yes right on CNN and all the networks, start telling the truth of what kind of low life's Obama brings to power with his low life self.

Michelle Obama and how she has such a hard time being proud of the greatest country in the world and Barack Hussein and his books of white hate and his 20 year church of more white hate and hating America..... I blame all of them for contributing to this kind of behavior.

Liberal seek the lower human beings and do all they can to keep them down and angry. Conservatives seek to raise a person up, support them to be the best they can be...........HUGE difference!!!

Government Computers Used to Find Information On Joe the Plumber

Government computers used to find information on Joe the Plumber

Investigators trying to determine whether access was illegal

The Columbus Dispatch

"State and local officials are investigating if state and law-enforcement computer systems were illegally accessed when they were tapped for personal information about "Joe the Plumber."

Samuel Joseph Wurzelbacher became part of the national political lexicon Oct. 15 when Republican presidential candidate John McCain mentioned him frequently during his final debate with Democrat Barack Obama.

The 34-year-old from the Toledo suburb of Holland is held out by McCain as an example of an American who would be harmed by Obama's tax proposals.

Public records requested by The Dispatch disclose that information on Wurzelbacher's driver's license or his sport-utility vehicle was pulled from the Ohio Bureau of Motor Vehicles database three times shortly after the debate.

Information on Wurzelbacher was accessed by accounts assigned to the office of Ohio Attorney General Nancy H. Rogers, the Cuyahoga County Child Support Enforcement Agency and the Toledo Police Department.

It has not been determined who checked on Wurzelbacher, or why. Direct access to driver's license and vehicle registration information from BMV computers is restricted to legitimate law enforcement and government business.

Paul Lindsay, Ohio spokesman for the McCain campaign, attempted to portray the inquiries as politically motivated. "It's outrageous to see how quickly Barack Obama's allies would abuse government power in an attempt to smear a private citizen who dared to ask a legitimate question," he said.

Isaac Baker, Obama's Ohio spokesman, denounced Lindsay's statement as charges of desperation from a campaign running out of time. "Invasions of privacy should not be tolerated. If these records were accessed inappropriately, it had nothing to do with our campaign and should be investigated fully," he said.

The attorney general's office is investigating if the access of Wuzelbacher's BMV information through the office's Ohio Law Enforcement Gateway computer system was unauthorized, said spokeswoman Jennifer Brindisi.

"We're trying to pinpoint where it came from," she said. The investigation could become "criminal in nature," she said. Brindisi would not identify the account that pulled the information on Oct. 16.

Records show it was a "test account" assigned to the information technology section of the attorney general's office, said Department of Public Safety spokesman Thomas Hunter.

Brindisi later said investigators have confirmed that Wurzelbacher's information was not accessed within the attorney general's office. She declined to provide details. The office's test accounts are shared with and used by other law enforcement-related agencies, she said.

On Oct. 17, BMV information on Wurzelbacher was obtained through an account used by the Cuyahoga County Child Support Enforcement Agency in Cleveland, records show.

Mary Denihan, spokeswoman for the county agency, said the Ohio Department of Job and Family Services contacted the agency today and requested an investigation of the access to Wurzelbacher's information. Cuyahoga County court records do not show any child-support cases involving Wurzelbacher.

The State Highway Patrol, which administers the Law Enforcement Automated Data System in Ohio, asked Toledo police to explain why it pulled BMV information on Wurzelbacher within 48 hours of the debate, Hunter said.

The LEADS system also can be used to check for warrants and criminal histories, but such checks would not be reflected on the records obtained by The Dispatch.

Sgt. Tim Campbell, a Toledo police spokesman, said he could not provide any information because the department only had learned of the State Highway Patrol inquiry today.

Wild Thing's comment.........

It's outrageous to see how quickly Barack Obama's allies would abuse government power in an attempt to smear a private citizen who dared to ask a legitimate question. And the Marxist Obama isn't even "elected" yet, and he already has a Secret Police.

The Left love accessing information they shouldn’t to smear perceived threats to their goals and domination. Ask Lynda Tripp about her personnel file or Michael Steele about his Social Security number.

Obama/Biden Campaign NOT Able To Handle Tuff Questions!

Biden Asked the Difference Between Views of Barack Obama and Karl Marx - Video 10/24/08

Here is video of an interview conducted by WFTV (Orlando, FL) anchor Barbara Waters with Sen. Joe Biden. She asks Biden the tough questions about Barack Obama, which visibly angers Joe Biden. She confronts Biden on Obama's socialist policies, and even asks Biden what is the difference between a Karl Marx quote and what Obama is saying. Biden responded with, "Are you joking?"

In case YouTube is down you o can WATCH THE VIDEO HERE

Barbara West won't be interviewing any more Bidens, or Obama

Orlando Sentinel

The Barack Obama campaign detested an interview Barbara West of WFTV-Channel 9 conducted with Sen. Joe Biden on Thursday. West quoted Karl Marx and asked how Obama isn’t being a Marxist with his “spreading the wealth” comment.

“Are you joking?” said Biden, who is Obama’s running mate.

West later asked Biden about his comments that Obama would be tested early on as president -- and wondered if the Delaware senator was saying America’s days as the world’s leading power were over.

“I don’t know who’s writing your questions,” Biden shot back.

The Obama campaign canceled a WFTV interview with Jill Biden, the candidate’s wife. “This cancellation is non-negotiable, and further opportunities for your station to interview with this campaign are unlikely, at best for the duration of the remaining days until the election,” wrote Laura K. McGinnis, Central Florida communications director for the Obama campaign. McGinnis said the Biden cancellation was “a result of her husband’s experience yesterday during the satellite interview with Barbara West.”

The Barack Obama campaign called Barbara West's interview with Sen. Joe Biden unprofessional and combative.

The veteran WFTV-Channel 9 anchor-reporter says she asked pointed questions and respects Sen. Biden, who is Sen. Obama's running mate.

In a call to me Friday evening, West said of Biden:

"I have a great deal of respect for him. I have a great deal of respect for Sen. Obama. We are given four minutes of a satellite window for these interviews. Four precious minutes. I got right down to it and, yes, I think I asked him some pointed questions. These are questions that are rolling about right now and questions that need to be asked right now. I don't think I was rude or inconsiderate to him. I was probing and maybe tough. I can't believe that in all of his years in politics, and all of his campaigning and such, that he hasn't run into some tough questions.

There is a huge opportunity for reporters who want to differentiate themselves from the Democrat shills currently holding positions in the MSM. Great questions.

Does Obama Have Narcissistic Personality Disorder?

Does Obama Have Narcissistic Personality Disorder?

From the YouTube person that made the video:

" Understanding Obama: The Making of a Fuhrer, which is published in faithfreedom.org. It unravels the mystique behind Obamas authoritative and haughty behavior. Obamas charisma is the result of his superiority complex, which is a mask narcissists wear to hide their devalued and injured self. The article draws the similarity that exists between Obama and other famous narcissists such as Hitler, Stalin, Saddam, Khomeini and Osama. It is intended to be a scholarly paper, but alas, in this politically charged atmosphere it is bound to become controversial."

Wild Thing's comment..........

I can agree with this video, Obama has a lot of the things Hitler had and other people like that. And nothing in it is good, Barack is a dangerous man for our country. IMO if he wins even other countries will regret knowing Barack Hussein Obama, unless they are countries with leaders that say death to America.

Unto this day, November 4th 2008, the Silent Majority shall prevail in Victory with the crushing defeat of the Marxist parasite.I love omy country and I refuse to allow this election be handed over to Barack Hussein Obama.

The Future of the Republic is at risk!

Martina McBride - God Bless America (LIVE)

To Arms, Republicans!

GOPublius

It was June 1940. An undefeated and many thought unstoppable Adolf Hitler rolled across the European continent. From the air, the Luftwaffe dominated the skies of Europe, and would soon lay waste the venerable and ancient English capitol. Fear gripped a British citizenry low on food, ammunition, fighting men, and spirit. The full fury of the Bilitz was only months away, and Britain was all alone in its struggle against NAZI tyranny. In this climate of seemingly overwhelming odds, the dogged and pugnacious British Prime Minister, Winston Churchill, rose before the House of Commons to deliver one of his most stirring speeches. Knowing full well the awful price of defeat, and deploying all his considerable rhetorical skill, Churchill challenged and inspired his fellow countrymen and women to fight on to the bitter end:

“We shall go on to the end, we shall fight in France, we shall fight on the seas and oceans, we shall fight with growing confidence and growing strength in the air, we shall defend our Island, whatever the cost may be, we shall fight on the beaches, we shall fight on the landing grounds, we shall fight in the fields and in the streets, we shall fight in the hills; we shall never surrender…”

Churchill’s speech rallied the British people who fought on alone. But Churchill’s words inspired many hearts. Less than two years later and thousands of miles from the British capitol, men like Admiral John McCain were answering Churchill’s eloquent call in defense of freedom. Rarely since those days has liberty faced such peril, but Churchill’s words have inspired many, no matter the contest or field of endeavor, to fight on. More than simply an echo of trying times, Churchill’s speech reminds us that when an important battle must be fought, it is incumbent upon each of us, individually and in unison, to go above and beyond the call of duty in pursuit of victory.

And so it is, that we find ourselves on the eve of a historic election for America. No elections are without profound consequences, but not since 1980 has America been faced with such a stark political and ideological dichotomy. John McCain is not the perfect conservative, but whatever his faults, John McCain is now all that stands between Reagan’s America and a disastrous turn toward socialism. With Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi in charge of our Congress, and a President Obama ensconced in the Oval Office, leftist redistributionist policy will flow like water. Taxes hikes, profligate spending, and government expansion will unfold like storm clouds. The unionization of our private sector will begin in earnest and the end of the hitherto sacred secret ballot will come to pass. Our most cherished rights will be assaulted: from our freedom to express our religion, to our right to have and bear arms, to the very heart of the American spirit, the freedom of speech - which will wither under government imposed “fairness” guidelines. Our troops who have fought valiantly to secure a new future and a lasting peace in the Middle East will be undermined from home. The fight against Islamic extremism will end. The next justices on the Supreme Court will consider judicial activism their calling and judge-made law their right. Internationalism, foreign law, and sovereignty-undermining treaties will be the order of the day. Extreme environmentalism will trump all economic and business needs, and the promise of energy independence in the form of nuclear power, increased domestic oil production and natural gas will shrivel under draconian green legislation and government mandates. Like Gulliver amidst his captors, the great American juggernaut, already reeling from an economic blow of largely Democratic making, will succumb; death by 1,000 cuts. Not since the days of Carter will America have known such a malaise. The death of liberty by the hand of equality.

But it is not a future that has to be. Hope remains.

John McCain is first to acknowledge that he is the underdog in this present contest, and many have proclaimed a McCain victory nearly impossible. Yet, with a strong final debate performance, a new sense that the American people are at last considering the true consequences of their choice in leader, and climbing poll numbers, a McCain victory remains possible. The odds are still unfavorable, and the task considerable, but in these final days, now is the time that every man and woman who cares about the hard won conservative gains of the Reagan Revolution must stand and fight. It will take more than merely voting, more than a yard sign or a bumper sticker, or a casual comment to a neighbor. It will take a sure and determined effort to mobilize every last Republican and independent vote.

In the end, it is not the media who decides our future, it is We, the People. So let us decide. Let us take our future into our own hands. In the spirit of Churchill, let us call forth every last remaining fighter. Family, friends, neighbors, and colleagues, parishioners, teammates, fellow students, and more. Even complete strangers and sometimes adversaries must be called upon and mobilized in this effort. Ask yourself not merely what you will do come Election Day, but what you can and must do between now and then. The Left is mobilized and organized. They will be bringing to the polls thousands of voters who have never cast a ballot before. On their side stands all the media with its long and duplicitous tentacles gripping the fountainheads of public opinion. Indeed, all the World whose interests lie in a weakened and demoralized America are willing your defeat.

So up with the rally cry! Dig in, mobilize and fight. We can win this election, and save America from a dreadful future, but only if we commit ourselves to delivering, with one resounding voice, the timeless battle cry of the victors: never surrender!

Wild Thing's comment.............

This might be our last chance to fight back in an election for our country. I pray we win and we need to do all we can to make sure McCain and Palin win and thus America will win too.

For me this is the most important election in my lifetime. I have never seen anything like what this one has been like. The media controlling the news and pushing Obama like we have never seen the media promote a candidate.

Out Of State Obama Workers Illegally Voting in Ohio

Obama Staff Withdraw Votes In Ohio

Elections are about winning votes...not withdrawing them. Palestra.net's Tiffany Wilson reports why a dozen Obama campaigners withdrew their ballots in Franklin County today.

COLLEGE REPORTERS break story about 12 people that were OUT OF STATE Obama workers that registered to vote and placed early voting ballots in Franklin County, OH.

ACTUAL lawyers for Obama, illegally voting in OHIO.

And here is more on this.....................

Wild Thing's comment.......

These young reporters are the REAL deal, doing the job the 'real' media will not do. I am so proud of Tiffany Wilson and all of them! This is GREAT.

Obama's campaign tried to say McCain people did the same thing, but Palestra says the Franklin County Elections Board has verified the accuracy of the residency of the McCain campaign individuals. All of McCains people have been accounted for and are in the clear.

These people breaking the voting laws need to be arrested and made an example of. As lawyers, they obviously knew what the registration laws were and went ahead and voted anyway. I’d like to see some jail time for these people.

UPDATE: Police Say HOAX (McCain Supporter Attacked)

Scroll down post for UPDATE! Thank you.

McCain Worker: Attacker Angered By GOP Sticker

kdka.com

Pittsburgh police are investigating after a volunteer for the Republican campaign says she was attacked by a mugger who became enraged after seeing a John McCain bumper sticker on her car last night.

According to police, Ashley Todd, 20, said she was robbed at an ATM at the corner of Liberty Avenue and Pearl Street in the Bloomfield area around 9 p.m. Wednesday after leaving a Republican phone bank.

Todd told police that the suspect, described only as a dark-skinned African-American man about 6'4", stole $60 from her and became enraged after seeing a bumper sticker supporting Republican Presidential Candidate John McCain on her car.

Todd, who is from Texas, said the suspect put a knife to her neck and demanded money.

Todd told police that the man became very angry after noticing the McCain sticker on her car and began punching and kicking her.

After repeatedly hitting, kicking and threatening her, Todd told police that the man carved a "B" in her cheek.

According to the police report, the officer confirmed that he "observed the wound on the right side of [her] face.

Todd declined immediate medical attention last night but said she would go to the hospital today.

The suspect ran off after the attack; but police are hoping that footage from bank surveillance camera may help lead them to the suspect.

In an official statement the McCain campaign says: "We're shaken up by this. It's sick and disgusting."

Governor Sarah Palin reportedly spoke with the victim by phone.

Meanwhile, late this afternoon, the Obama-Biden campaign released a statement, saying: "This is a horrendous act of violence. Our thoughts and prayers are with the young woman for her to make a speedy recovery, and we hope that the person who perpetrated this crime is swiftly apprehended and brought to justice."

UPDATE:

KDKA.COM

VIDEO AT WEBSITE

She calls it a political attack -- a McCain campaign volunteer says she was attacked in Bloomfield.

Patrick Graham, the president of College Republicans in Pittsburgh, told KDKA that Todd works for the National College Republican Committee.

She's been in Pittsburgh about a week.

Graham said Todd was on her way to meeting, when she reported robbery and assault took place.

Among other things, police are checking security cameras in the neighborhood to see what, if anything, they may have recorded.

A photo obtained by the Drudge Report website showed Todd after the alleged assault.

However, KDKA could not verify the authenticity of the photo.

Pittsburgh Police did not take a photo of the woman.

Wild Thing's comment...........

I think Obama should be partly to blame for this. He told his followers to go out and " get in their faces", he tells at his website to go and protest at the McCain/Palin rallies. And his low life follwers obey him. His words of how terrible this attack was mean nothing just as he means nothing as a human being.

....Thank you Mark for sending this story to me.

UPDATE:

ATTACKED GIRL ADMITS IT WAS A HOAX!

Police: Campaign Volunteer Lied, Injured Self

kdka.com

At a news conference this afternoon, offiicals said they believe the woman's injuries were self-inflicted. Ashley Todd, 20, is now facing charges for filing a false report to police.

Filing a false report and interfering with police business , this is really sick!!!!!!

Times have changed, it use to be a scarlet A, now it’s a backwards B.

What she did messes with both McCain and Obama's campaign. I could give a rats ass about the Obama campaign but this is very serious what she did.

What she did deserves a stiff penalty - because she was messing with an election (in that it would probably influence voters) and in the fact that she made a racially charged false statement in a very volatile environment.

Republican HQ Manager's Home Shot Up Over McCain Signs

LONGWOOD, Fla.

The home of a Central Florida Republican headquarters manager was shot up and damaged over his support of Sen. John McCain, the man told police.

Rog Coverely said several pellets pierced his Longwood home. Coverely showed several spiderwebbed-holes in the front windows of his home

The Republican manager said he is convinced he was targeted because of new McCain signs he added around his home.

"All I can tell you is this, I have a very good relationship with my neighbors," Coverely said. "I mow my lawn. The only thing that has changed is I have two McCain signs in my front yard."

Coverely said he has taken about 300 calls concerning stolen or vandalized McCain signs in the area.

"It says this campaign is getting vicious," Coverely said.

Coverely said it appears Democrats are becoming more aggressive in the county.

"I wouldn't say slipping, but I would say the Democrats have become far more aggressive in Seminole County because it is such a heavy Republican area," Coverely said.

Wild Thing's comment...........

I think there needs to be a thinning of the herd. ΜΟΛΩΝ ΛΑΒE

And there is this:

Police prepare for unrest on Election Day

Police departments in cities across the country are beefing up their ranks for Election Day, preparing for possible civil unrest and riots after the historic presidential contest.

Public safety officials said in interviews with The Hill that the election, which will end with either the nation’s first black president or its first female vice president, demanded a stronger police presence.

Some worry that if Barack Obama loses and there is suspicion of foul play in the election, violence could ensue in cities with large black populations. Others based the need for enhanced patrols on past riots in urban areas (following professional sports events) and also on Internet rumors.

Cities that have suffered unrest before, such as Detroit, Chicago, Oakland and Philadelphia, will have extra police deployed.

In Oakland, the police will deploy extra units trained in riot control, as well as extra traffic police, and even put SWAT teams on standby.

“Are we anticipating it will be a riot situation? No. But will we be prepared if it goes awry? Yes,” said Jeff Thomason, spokesman for the Oakland Police Department

Wild Thing's comment..............

Obama is also paraphrasing James Cone the inventor of Black Liberation Theology, Obama's religion for 20 years.

This is more proof he lied about Wright, when saying "the man I saw yesterday was not the man I knew for 20 years".

The DNC has not put Obama up to run because they want to do something for race relations; in fact, they are absolutely exploiting the worst level of racial divide, splitting the country wide open in their drive for ultimate control over US.

Barack Hussein Obama Dictator Mentalilty Plans For Election Night

Flush with cash--and still begging donors for more--the Obama campaign is planning a $2 million dollar election night extravaganza at Chicago's lakefront Grant Park. Mayor Daley had suggested Obama use the United Center to keep the price down--but Celine Dion was already booked there for a Nov. 4 concert

The field is home to softball diamonds, the popular summer Lollapalooza music festival and was the site of the mass pope John Paul held in Chicago nearly 30 years ago.

It would not be the first big outdoor event for Obama. He announced his presidential run outside the old state capitol in Springfield on a very cold day last February and gave his nomination acceptance speech at Denver's Mile High Stadium.

Chicago Sun Times

Mayor Daley today put a $2 million price tag on the cost of city services associated with the giant Barack Obama election night rally in Grant Park.

Mayor Daley suggested the United Center as cheaper simpler alternative but was turned down.

The mayor said the cash-flushed Obama campaign has agreed to reimburse the city for those services because Chicago is grappling with a $465 million deficit and is in no position to pay for it.

Asked if he objected to Obama's decision to hold the rally in Grant Park, Daley said, "Could you see me saying no to Sen. Obama? Give me a break. I'm not that dumb."

The mayor said the indoor United Center "would be much easier but the campaign so far ... wants to do it in the open. They applied for the permit."

Daley acknowledged that the Grant Park rally would create a logistical nightmare. "You'd have to secure buildings, close down buildings," he said.

"You need sanitation. ... You have to secure the CTA. You have to have traffic people. ... You have close streets seven to eight hours before."

FOX news

A huge stage is being constructed in Chicago's Grant Park, where Obama hopes to declare victory before a cheering throng that could dwarf the one at the Democratic convention. Back then, "only" 80,000 fans were in attendance that night. This time, it could be hundreds of thousands in the park and its surroundings

Obama is well on his way to winning the election, according to most polls and electoral vote projections. The campaign may be preparing to set the champagne on ice. But it may want to heed the usual reminder: As Yogi Berra famously said, it ain't over till it's over.

The excitement is palpable at Obama's rallies, a tone the candidate has reflected. "I feel like we got a righteous wind at our backs here," Obama told supporters in Leesburg, Va., Wednesday evening.

He said the Grant Park event will be free and open to the public.

Wild Thing's comment.........

Obama getting cocky and planning another “big” event. Counting those chickens a bit early??

More Of The Obama Rally In Miami

Miami Obama Rally: Supporters Demand Piece of the Pie

Barack Obama rally in Miami, FL......Haitian Ra Ra band marching along with the crowd

More Haitian's for Obama

Not all blacks are voting for Obama. This is the first I have heard of them.

The group of mostly Black men men held signs that read, Blacks against Obama, Jesse Jackson hates Obama, Obama for abortions, Obama for gay marriage and Obama endorsed by the KKK.

They are said to be part of a Miami based group called Blacks Against Obama . They have shown up at all the Obama rallies in Florida, Tampa, Coral Gables, University of Miami etc.

During Obamas speech in Coral Gables, Florida, a sea of protest signs greeted him which interrupted his message. The signs contained various messages on them all under the auspices of Blacks Against Obama.

Although Obama told the crowd it was fine for protesters to be there, behind the scenes his campaign staffers did something else. The entire group was physically escorted out of the political event in a manner resembling Hells Angels security at a rock concert. One moment of the video captures what might be a hand-signal from Obama himself.

Nobody should object to removing protesters from a public event convened to express ideas. The crowd is there to hear Obama speak, and even well-intentioned protests interfere with Obamas own first amendment right to free speech.

What may raise eyebrows is how the large team of security guards descended on the crowd like wolves. Nobody wants to live in a police state where political protests are broken up abruptly simply to allow a political candidate to deliver the usual stump speech.

One expects that Obama will coach his vigilant backers on how to better handle the situation in the future.

Wild Thing's comment.........

Obama speaking like a true socialist! Obama uses his Jesse Jackson voice and intonation when addressing layabouts who see government as a source of largesse.A real demagogue.

A Newscast From a Future I Pray We Never See

A newscast from a future we must never see

Newscast of the future

300 Retired Generals And Admirals Endorse John McCain For President

by Janet Porter

This week, I decided to do something different – my column is in video form. It's a newscast from a future we must make sure we never see. In it, you'll get a glimpse into our nation should Barack Obama be elected president – complete with the kinds of people he'll appoint and policies he'll enact based on Sen. Obama's real promises, positions, record and advisers. It would be comical if it weren't so scary. It is an eye-opening look at what the future could hold if we don't do everything we can to prevent it.

I encourage you to watch it (rather than read it) and forward it to everyone you know in an effort to sound the alarm before it's too late … or the news we watch next January will look something like this:

Very scary stuff, and it is also very well done. I wishi it would be shown on TV.

Iranian Parliament Said Iran Would Prefer Obama ~ Will ACORN Be En-route To Get Them Registered ?

Larijani: Iran prefers Obama (Iranian Parliament Leader Endorsment!)

Ynet news

Iranian parliament Speaker Ali Larijani said Wednesday that Iran would prefer Democrat Barack Obama in the White House next year. Larijani also dismissed any idea that the US would attack Iran.

"We are leaning more in favor of Barack Obama because he is more flexible and rational, even though we know American policy will not change that much," Larijani said at a press conference during a visit to Bahrain.

How to deal with Iran and the crisis over its nuclear drive has been one of the foreign policy issues in the Nov. 4 race for the White House between Obama and Republican John McCain.

Larijani, a leading figure in the conservative camp in Iran, also said the United States was too busy dealing with the global financial crisis to consider waging an attack on Iran.

"The risk was low before," he said. "But now I am 100% certain that the United States will not unleash a war against Iran. The economic crisis has cost the United States $1.4 trillion and Washington is working to resolve its internal problems and not a war."

Wild Thing's comment..........

All of America’s enemies endorse Obama.

Castro, Hamas, PLO, other terroriosts groups, now Larijani....oh let's not forget Powell. hahaha ...Our enemies will always prefer the weaker candidate

We Voted Yesterday and YES for the BEST Candidates McCain/Palin!!!

As much as Obama wants to be President, that is how much John McCain and Sarah Palin love America.

We voted yesterday, the line was not long at all only about 70 people ahead of us, but we had perfect timing I think because as we were leaving the line was very long, cars lined up to pull into the parking lot and down the block.

There were lots of McCain/Palin signs and only one Obama sign within the legal distance they are allowed to have them. Only one for Obama. hahhaa yippee, we out numbered him. The ladies holding the signs many of them had cute Sarah Palin t-shirts on, some in pink saying Sarah Palin and others in red,white and blue saying McCain/Palin.

The men holding up signs, were Veterans and it was so cool they had their caps on with the Veteran pins on them that I love to see.

We gave every one of them a thumbs up and shook their hands when we came back out from voting. They said they were getting a lot more thumbs up then ugly looks so that is great too.

When we got inside to vote, I just had to say something, heh heh, as the lady was looking at my drivers license for ID etc. I asked her if I "may ask a question?". She said yes and I asked her if the voting place had ACORN connected to it in anyway. hahahahaha She said no and the gentlemen behind her standing looked at me and smiled really big like saying I know what you mean kind of look. giggle

We met a really nice couple in front of us. In a quiet voice I said to Nicholas while we were in line, " I loved the shirts for McCain Palin outside" and the couple in front of us turned around to say hi after I said that. It was my let's see if anyone in front or in back of us is for McCain/Palin time. hahaha

Our ballots are paper and we mark them with a black pen they give us like a felt pen. It is not electric at all. Then the slip we have marked goes into a light cardboard sleeve they called "Secret Sleeve" that I had to put into a machine that literally sucked it out of my hand. hahahahahaa ZOOM and my vote was done.

Now we wait and pray our votes get counted and McCain/Palin win.

Hey Obama Keep Your Racist Powell~ McCain Has Stormin' Norman and 300 Retired Generals and Admirals

Nicknamed Stormin’ Norman and the Bear and best known as Com-manding General, Coalition Forces, Persian Gulf War, 1990–1991, General Schwarzkopf had a 35-year military career (1956–1991) that spanned the Cold War, the intervening Vietnam War, and the increasing overseas deployments of the 1980s. A U.S. Military Academy graduate, he served two tours in Vietnam and rose to the grade of full general in 1988.

While deserving his nicknames "the bear" and "Stormin' Norman" because of his impatience, aggressiveness, and confrontational manner, Schwarzkopf displayed outstanding skills in combining the air, sea, and land assets of a multinational force to achieve victory.

Asked on CNN whether America's latest popular culture hero preferred the sobriquet Stormin' Norman or the Bear, Brenda Schwarzkopf, the wife of Gen. H. Norman Schwarzkopf, answered: "I think he prefers the Bear. Stormin' Norman -- I'm not sure exactly where he picked that up. His soldiers gave him both names, but I'm not sure exactly which came first."

In light of Colon Powell's endorsement of Marxism in the upcoming Predidential election, I thought it might be useful to remind us of the endorsement John McCain received from a real American hero, retired General "Stormin'" Norman Schwarzkopf, and this was back in January.

Schwarzkopf, who with McCain in 2004 was openly critical of then-Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld over his handling of the Iraq war, said in a statement the Arizona senator "has served our country with honor in war and in peace."

Stormin' Norman lives in Florida.

Add in to this 300 Retired Generals and Admirals from around the country are endorsing John McCain for president. The retired generals and admirals announced their support with the following letter:

"We have had the honor and privilege of serving as career officers in the United States Armed Forces, and of serving shoulder to shoulder with so many of the fine young men and women who are the backbone of America's Army, Navy, Air Force, Marine Corps and Coast Guard. It is that experience that informs our judgment that John McCain is the presidential candidate best suited to serve as America's Commander-in Chief from the day of his inauguration.

"Our next president will confront national security challenges as significant as those faced by any administration in at least a generation. Success will require a leader with proven tenacity, judgment and courage. It will also require a leader with detailed knowledge of our military and other instruments of national power, and with years of experience dealing seriously with foreign leaders.

"John McCain's entire life has been devoted to the service of America. Throughout a long and distinguished career in the military and in Congress, he has repeatedly displayed the courage and integrity to place America's interests first -- regardless of personal cost. And he has demonstrated the experience and wisdom to lead America -- and, importantly, our allies -- in effectively dealing with complex and vitally important national security challenges around the world.

"We unequivocally endorse him to continue his service to the country as the next President of the United States."

Wild Thing's comment.......

I have posted the list before, but I thought it would be good to mention it again.

Obama can't even compare his wimpy racist Powell endorsement with the hundreds that are for McCain and Palin.

Just something to show you.

Carol Black Bearhearts Original, created on October 5, 1992 in California , Stormin' Norman is named after General Norman Schwartzkopf and is authentically dressed from his desert fatigues right down to his helmet,
two watches, official ID's, his backpack, rations and American flag. He is stuffed with desert sand!

Carol is a friend of mine and she made 5 of these bears. The first one she got to present to Stormin' Norman personally and she has photos of her visit. I was very lucky to be able to get one of the 5 she made.

He sits in my SUV and is about 2 1/2 feet in height when standing position.

So yep, I have liked Stormin' Norman for a long time.

Obama to Media:Pony Up For Election Night Access

Obama to media: pony up for election night access

Chicago Business

The best-funded political campaign in American history says news organizations will have to pay — in some cases almost $2,000 each — if they want to cover Barack Obama’s election-night celebration in Chicago.

A memo sent to news organizations on Tuesday by the Obama campaign says credentials will cost $715 to $1,815, depending on whether electrical and phone lines are needed and whether an indoor or outdoor seat is requested for the event, which is expected to be held outside the evening of Nov. 4 in Grant Park.

The only free admissions are for a “general media” area. But, the memo says, “Please note that the general media area is outdoors, unassigned and may have obstructed views . . . standing room only.”

The area also does not include access to top Obama campaign officials, whose statements likely are to be in hot demand on Election Night. They apparently will be available only in the “press file” tent, to which an additional admission fee of $935 per person is being imposed.

Obama aides declined to answer questions about why a campaign that raised $150 million in the month of September is demanding such payments. But the memo already is drawing some protest.

In her blog on the Chicago Sun-Times’ Web site, Lynn Sweet, the paper’s veteran Washington bureau chief, termed the memo “an outrageous pay-to-play plan that caters to national elite (media) outlets.”

While many reporters can do without the electricity, Internet access, food and other items that come with some event prices, they must “crave” access, and for that they will have to pay, Ms. Sweet wrote.

One Obama spokesman privately likened the Chicago event to how coverage is arranged at national political conventions. But at both the Democratic and GOP conventions this summer, news organizations had to pay extra only if they wanted a dedicated phone line. Most credentials came with assigned seats, all were indoors with views of the stage and all were free.

A spokesman later said that the fees will only pay the costs of, for instance, building risers with a view of the stage. He also said that since the file tent will be located in the middle of the general media area, reporters will be able to stop and question any senior aides who are traveling to the file tent. The tent will include no “spin room” for briefings, the spokesman added.

Media traditionally are charged for out-of-pocket costs in traveling with campaigns. For instance, those accompanying Mr. Obama and GOP nominee John McCain around the country pay their own hotel bills and a fee for air fare. But a fee rarely if ever is charged for the coverage itself.

Wild Thing's comment..........

Unbelievable. Obama's charging the media to cover his concession speech. These dopes will pay too.

So it looks like front row seats for the freak show are expensive.

This is how this Barack Hussein Obama will run the country: Pay for play. A sitting US Senator and would-be president CHARGING the media for access.

The only good news out of this is that the lap-dog media that has done its level best to turn this from an election to a coronation is now seeing exactly what is about to happen: You have all the access you want as log as the money changes hands at the time and in he amounts we demand.

Obama campaign is almost flaunting their election-night celebration planning process.

He is actually doing this to the media that has done their best to give the election to him. LMAO

Does this mean that Chris Mathews will have to pay to get that warm tingle up his leg???

wish he would start his own country and get the heck out of ours. This gets more unbelievable every day.

Waterboarded or pay to see Obama up close and personal........

I would pick to be WATERBOARDED, THANK YOU EVER SO!

Obama Reiterating That He’s a Socialist Has Crowd Chanting "We want Pie"

"We want Pie!"..."We want Pie!"...."We want Pie!"....."We want Pie!"......."We want Pie!"

In Miami, he responded to McCain’s criticism that his economic plan amounts to redistributing wealth and dividing up a static economic pie rather than expanding the pie. “After eight years of Bush and McCain economics, the pie is shrinking, and what’s left of the pie has been eaten by millionaires and billionaires,” he declared. “Everyone here wants some pie.”

To that, the crowd struck up the chant, “We want pie! We want pie!”

Wild Thing's comment............

This is an excellent example of the socialist mentality. And gosh why didn't they ask for ask for lobster and Iranian cavier. heh heh

LOL As Glenn Beck said the other day, “Make your own Pie! America is a freakin bakery!”

You know all this socialsim thinking of these Obama voters, I am really ashamed that these people are Americans!!!!

This Barack Hussein Obama commie rally was next door to a Miami Heat game and he had the rally just before the game. My guess is they gave away free tickets to the game if you showed up for the rally. The park will not hold 30,000 too. Downtown Miami is close to Black neighborhoods , so drawing 30,000 people is not that big a deal. My guess is he pulled 10,000 and probably 5,000 were going to the Heat game right next to the park.

I tried to find a video of the chanting but they don't have one. The only video's from Miami are Obama and his hate filled speech about McCain and Palin.
But look at this below.............Barack and Michelle are both using Pie as a mantra.

...(West Philadelphia, Pennsylvania about the current status of the economic turmoil happening across the world and pie... in fact Barack Obama sets a Philadelphia record for most times Pie is mentioned in one story under 100 seconds!!)......

Michelle Obama used the pie analogy too. "Someone is going to have to give up a piece of their pie so that someone else can have more."...quote by Michelle Obama

Barack Hussein Obama's Indebtedness To Extremist Islam

By Daniel Pipes

FrontPageMagazine.com

The title of the article is : Would Obama Pass a Standard Security Clearance?

I have posted on this I thnk last week but this one is by Daniel Pipes and is excellent and has another take on it too with added information that is really good to know. ---- Wild Thing

With Colin Powell now repeating the lie that Barack Obama has "always been a Christian," despite new information further confirming Obama's Muslim childhood (such as the Indonesian school registration listing him as Muslim), one watches with dismay as the Democratic candidate manages to hide the truth on this issue.

Instead, then, let us review a related subject – Obama's connections and even indebtedness, throughout his career, to extremist Islam. Specifically, he has longstanding, if indirect ties to two institutions, the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), listed by the U.S. government in 2007 as an unindicted co-conspirator in a Hamas-funding trial; and the Nation of Islam (NoI), condemned by the Anti-Defamation League for its "consistent record of racism and anti-Semitism."

Kenny Gamble, or Luqman Abdul-Haqq, "amir" of the United Muslim Movement.

Louis Farrakhan, who calls Obama "the Messiah."

First, Obama's ties to Islamists:

The Khalid al-Mansour connection: According to former Manhattan Borough president Percy Sutton, Al-Mansour "was raising money for" Obama's expenses at Harvard Law School. Al-Mansour, a black American (né Don Warden), became advisor to Saudi prince Al-Walid bin Talal, CAIR's largest individual donor. Al-Mansour holds standard Islamist views: he absolves the Islamist government in Sudan of sponsoring slavery, he denies a Jewish tie to Jerusalem, and he wrote a booklet titled "Americans Beware! The Zionist Plot Against S. Arabia." (Both Obama and al-Mansour deny Sutton's account.)

The Kenny Gamble (also known as Luqman Abdul-Haqq) connection: Gamble, a once-prominent pop music producer, cut the ribbon to the Obama campaign headquarters housed in a south Philadelphia building he owns. Gamble is an Islamist who buys large swaths of real estate in Philadelphia to create a Muslim-only residential area. Also, as the self-styled "amir" of the United Muslim Movement, he has many links to Islamist organizations, including CAIR and the Muslim Alliance in North America. (MANA's "amir" is Siraj Wahhaj, an unindicted co-conspirator in the 1993 World Trade Center bombing.)

The Mazen Asbahi connection: The Obama campaign's first Muslim outreach coordinator resigned after it came to light that he had served on the board of a subsidiary of the Saudi-sponsored North American Islamic Trust, with Jamal Said, another unindicted co-conspirator in the 2007 Hamas funding trial. Asbahi has ties to CAIR's Chicago and Detroit offices, to the Islamic Society of North America, yet another unindicted co-conspirator in the Hamas funding trial, and to other Islamist organizations.

The Minha Husaini connection: The campaign's second Muslim outreach coordinator has an Islamist background, having served as an intern in the Muslim Public Service Network. Immediately upon her appointment by Obama, she met with a group of about thirty Muslims including such notorious figures as CAIR's Nihad Awad; the Muslim American Society's Mahdi Bray, who has publicly supported the Hamas and Hezbollah terrorist groups; and Johari Abdul Malik of the Dar Al-Hijrah Mosque in Falls Church, Va., who has advised American Muslims: "You can blow up bridges, but you cannot kill people who are innocent on their way to work."

Second, Obama's ties to the Nation of Islam:

Obama's long-time donor and ally Antoin "Tony" Rezko partnered for nearly three decades with Jabir Herbert Muhammad, a son of NoI leader Elijah Muhammad, and says he gave Jabir and his family "millions of dollars over the years." Rezko also served as executive director of the Muhammad Ali Foundation, a rogue organization that, without Ali's permission, exploited the name of this CAIR awardee.

Jeremiah Wright, Obama's esteemed pastor for twenty years, came out of a Nation background, recently he accepted protection from an NoI security detail, and has praised Louis Farrakhan, the NoI's leader, as one of the "giants of the African American religious experience." Wright's church celebrated Farrakhan for his having "truly epitomized greatness."

Farrakhan himself endorsed Obama, calling him "the hope of the entire world," "one who can lift America from her fall," and even "the Messiah."

That Obama's biography touches so frequently on such unsavory organizations as CAIR and the Nation of Islam should give pause. How many of politicians have a single tie to either group, much less seven of them? John McCain charitably calls Obama "a person you do not have to be scared [of] as president of the United States," but Obama's multiple links to anti-Americans and subversives mean he would fail the standard security clearance process for Federal employees.

Islamic aggression represents America's strategic enemy; Obama's many insalubrious connections raise grave doubts about his fitness to serve as America's commander-in-chief.

Wild Thing's comment..........

I don't think I will ever understand why information like this does not matter to people deciding who to vote for. Including all the other things we have found out about Obama.

Can there be so many in our country that are pro Muslim, or pro terrorists? The media, most of it anyway had mocked the information about Ayers and the terrorists groups that have endorsed Obama and his money coming in from very questionable groups against America.

Are we overrun by Socialists and communists or just totally determined people to remain ignorant.

There is something inside of me that thinks that many of those saying they will vote for Obama will stand there in the voting booth and just before they mark Obama's name will have a gut wrenching second thought of the facts they have heard, the doubt it has put in their minds, the knowledge that America HAS been the best, most awesome country in the entire world....... and then they will see there is no way they can vote for this phone, liar, communist wanna be dictator whose idea of change is from Capitalism and land of the free and home of the brave to Socialism and communism, and people being terrified to say what their thoughts are for fear of being arrested.

America is awesome and there is a strength to her, we have fought off things before and this may be a HUGE one this time, we can do it and must never give up.

....Thank you Mark for sending this to me.

John Bolton Talks About Joe Biden's Remarks and Obama

Senator McCain at a rally this morning in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, talking about Biden.

MCCAIN: Senator Biden told their campaign donors that when that crisis hit, they would have to stand with them because it wouldn't be apparent that Senator Obama would have the right response! Forget apparent. We know Senator Obama won't have the right response. (cheers and applause) We've seen the wrong response from him over and over during this campaign. He opposed the surge strategy that is bringing us victory in Iraq and will bring us victory in Afghanistan. (cheers and whistles) He said he would sit down unconditionally with the world's worst dictators. (boos) When Russia invaded Georgia, Senator Obama said the invaded country, Georgia -- a small, teeny country -- should show restraint. He's been wrong on all of them.

And here is what Gov. Sarah Palin had to say.

PALIN: I guess the looming crisis that most worries the Obama campaign right now is Joe Biden's next speaking engagement. (laughter) The real problem is that these warnings from Joe Biden are similar to his earlier assessment. Remember, throughout the primary -- it wasn't that long ago -- he said, Barack Obama wasn't up to the job, he's not ready to be president. He said, I quote, "The presidency is not something that lends itself to on-the-job training." The same Joe Biden said he would be "honored to run" on the ticket with John McCain because, he said, "the country would be better off with John McCain."

Wild Thing's comment.........

What a HUGE difference in our side and the socialist, communist, marxist side. I would hate to get up in the morning if I thought like the left does.

Joe Biden Terrified of An Obama Presidency and Shows How McCain Is Better In Crisis!

This one is an updated video has a few more statements included but a little harder to hear.

Biden to Supporters: "Gird Your Loins", For the Next President "It's Like Cleaning Augean Stables"

Sen. Joe Biden, D-Del., on Sunday guaranteed that if elected, Sen. Barack Obama., D-Ill., will be tested by an international crisis within his first six months in power and he will need supporters to stand by him as he makes tough, and possibly unpopular, decisions.

"Mark my words," the Democratic vice presidential nominee warned at the second of his two Seattle fundraisers Sunday. "It will not be six months before the world tests Barack Obama like they did John Kennedy. The world is looking. We're about to elect a brilliant 47-year-old senator president of the United States of America. Remember I said it standing here if you don't remember anything else I said. Watch, we're gonna have an international crisis, a generated crisis, to test the mettle of this guy."

"I can give you at least four or five scenarios from where it might originate," Biden said to Emerald City supporters, mentioning the Middle East and Russia as possibilities. "And he's gonna need help. And the kind of help he's gonna need is, he's gonna need you - not financially to help him - we're gonna need you to use your influence, your influence within the community, to stand with him. Because it's not gonna be apparent initially, it's not gonna be apparent that we're right."

Not only will the next administration have to deal with foreign affairs issues, Biden warned, but also with the current economic crisis.

"Gird your loins," Biden told the crowd. "We're gonna win with your help, God willing, we're gonna win, but this is not gonna be an easy ride. This president, the next president, is gonna be left with the most significant task. It's like cleaning the Augean stables, man. This is more than just, this is more than – think about it, literally, think about it – this is more than just a capital crisis, this is more than just markets. This is a systemic problem we have with this economy."

"I've forgotten more about foreign policy than most of my colleagues know, so I'm not being falsely humble with you. I think I can be value added, but this guy has it," the Senate Foreign Relations chairman said of Obama. "This guy has it. But he's gonna need your help. Because I promise you, you all are gonna be sitting here a year from now going, 'Oh my God, why are they there in the polls? Why is the polling so down? Why is this thing so tough?' We're gonna have to make some incredibly tough decisions in the first two years. So I'm asking you now, I'm asking you now, be prepared to stick with us. Remember the faith you had at this point because you're going to have to reinforce us."

"There are gonna be a lot of you who want to go, 'Whoa, wait a minute, yo, whoa, whoa, I don't know about that decision'," Biden continued. "Because if you think the decision is sound when they're made, which I believe you will when they're made, they're not likely to be as popular as they are sound. Because if they're popular, they're probably not sound."

Biden emphasized that the mountainous Afghanistan-Pakistan border is of particular concern, with Osama bin Laden "alive and well" and Pakistan "bristling with nuclear weapons."

"You literally can see what these kids are up against, our kids in that region," Biden said in recalling when his helicopter was forced down due to a snowstorm there. "The place is crawling with al Qaeda. And it's real."

"We do not have the military capacity, nor have we ever, quite frankly, in the last 20 years, to dictate outcomes," he cautioned. "It's so much more important than that. It's so much more complicated than that. And Barack gets it."

After speaking for just over a quarter of an hour, Biden noticed the media presence in the back of the small ballroom.

"I probably shouldn't have said all this because it dawned on me that the press is here," he joked.

"All kidding aside, these guys have left us in a God-awful place," he then said of the Bush regime, promptly wrapping up his remarks. "We have the ability to straighten it out. It's gonna take a little bit of time, so I ask you to stay with us. Stay with us."

Wild Thing's comment.........

I know Biden is a gaffe machine, but THIS sounds almost like sabotage of the Obama campaign! Keep it coming Joe!!

If the FBI truly is doing a full background on Obama, can you imagine the size of the file and what’s in it? It’s got to scare the living daylights out of the agents doing it.

LOL Biden doing an ad for McCain. The Hamas endorses Obama, the PLO endorses Obama. Now let's see. If you don't want a crisis, elect John McCain, because everybody knows that none of these foreign goverments want to test their luck (they'd be suicidal) by attacking us with McCain at the helm.

Joe Biden, you just torpedoed your candidate!!!

Biden acknowledged that Obama’s lack of foreign-policy experience will provoke America’s enemies into creating an international crisis. Biden apparently thinks this is just terrific. hahaa And it's not just that it's the fact that Barack Hussein Obama hates America and hates capitalism, and sympathizes with our enemies, and wants to see America taken down a peg because it is still predominantly white and capitalistic.

“Mark my words,” the Democratic vice presidential nominee warned at the second of his two Seattle fundraisers Sunday. “It will not be six months before the world tests Barack Obama like they did John Kennedy. The world is looking. We’re about to elect a brilliant 47-year-old senator president of the United States of America. Remember I said it standing here if you don’t remember anything else I said. Watch, we’re gonna have an international crisis, a generated crisis, to test the mettle of this guy.”

Remember I said it standing here if you don’t remember anything else I said. Watch, we’re gonna have an international crisis, a generated crisis, to test the mettle of this guy.”

Not a genuine crisis, but a generated one ... when it occurs, we'd better have the demands of what did 0bama know and when did he know it -- if this isn't telegraphing, I don't know what is.

Obama’s friends, the sleeper cells, are ready and waiting to do their part.

And another thought, is this Biden's idea of preparing everyone for Martial law or something?

Her Hero Sarah!

At the McCain/Palin rally in Virginia Beach..........Sarah Palin Autographs my Prosthetic Leg

Her hero Sarah: compassion in action

By Rebekah Curtis

Frontiersman

I’m a 22-year-old amputee and have had a lot of health and mobility problems over the past couple of years. I just got a new leg and am finally getting back on my feet. (Pun intended!) Even a few weeks ago, standing for fairly short periods of time was impossible without a lot of pain. At the McCain/Palin rally in Virginia Beach Oct.13, my family stood for around eight hours straight, and I wasn’t any more sore than anyone else. But that wasn’t what made the day one of the happiest of my life.

We arrived at four in the morning and were the first in line, out of an estimated 25,000. Since we were in front, we were able to rush like mad when they opened up the area around the stage, so we were only about six or eight feet from it. I had a special request for Governor Palin, if I was lucky enough to meet her.
Courtesy photo Gov. Sarah Palin signing a prosthetic leg belonging to Rebekah Curtis of Chesapeake, Va.

After the speeches, when Sarah walked down the stairs, my mom’s was the first hand she shook. People were already crowding in and shoving things at her to sign, and she started to move away. I was so disappointed, but Mom grabbed her hand and asked her if she would grant my request — to sign my leg. She kept moving, and Mom said, “Sarah!” one last time, and this time asked her to sign my artificial leg. Ha.

Sarah’s face lit up and she said, “Oh, yeah, okay!” She told us she’d never been asked to do that yet. There were several Secret Service men (and one incredibly dour woman) on every side, scowling the way they do, so I jokingly asked her if her guys would pounce on me if I took my leg off and tried to hand it to her, and she threw her head back and laughed. I gave it to her, and she asked how I lost my leg. I told her it was due to a congenital defect, and she said, “Bless your heart.” She pronounced my leg “beautiful,” and asked me where she should sign.

(By the way, there is also a video on Youtube of Gov. Palin signing my leg. It’s at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=imkBID_YOFw , or search for “Governor Palin Autographs My Prosthetic Leg.” We were in such close quarters that the visual is all over the place at times, but you can see most of what’s going on and hear everything.)

I thought she’d hurriedly autograph one ankle, but she signed “Sarah” on one side, then turned it around and signed “Palin” on the other. It was all I could do to keep from turning into a weepy mess — and I would have if I’d looked to either side and realized Mom and one of my sisters were crying.

She said, “I am so honored that you would let me do that!” then gave me a hug and asked my name. I stepped back into my leg, and she leaned over the barricade to check it out, and said I looked beautiful and was inspiring.

I just barely managed, “So are you!” before I started crying, and she said, “Thank you!” and then hugged Mom, too.

When I initially shared the story with some friends who are politically to the left of myself, I said I couldn’t explain why I see a totally different person than a lot of them see when they look at Governor Palin, and I didn’t particularly care to try as I didn’t want to argue. What I see is someone who radiates love and compassion, someone who reminds me of my mother and other wonderful women in my life, someone who makes me want to do great things.

What I wish I’d been able to tell her is that the major reason I consider her a hero is the way she stands in stark contrast to the false compassion of our day, in which otherwise good people believe love means trying to eliminate suffering by doling out death like it’s the ultimate gift.

Modern humanitarians think, “I wouldn’t want to live like that,” and they never have a chance to see that (as Gov. Palin said in her RNC speech) with a special challenge comes a special joy. Even when we can’t see those special joys right away, our faith lets us trust we will see suffering turned right-side-out someday.

I would still be here if my parents had known about my leg before I was born, because my mother is a lot like Sarah Palin, and they both have a heart like Our Lady, Mary: wise and brave; one that “ponders all these things,” when “all these things” includes the promise “a sword shall pierce your own heart, too.”

But thousands of babies with my condition and others — cleft palate, club foot, Down syndrome, etc. — never get the chance to live.

In response to people who said it would have been better if a certain disabled little girl had never been born, the great Southern author Flannery O’Conner wrote, “In the absence of faith, we govern by tenderness. And tenderness leads to the gas chamber.”

If Flannery had lived to see Roe vs. Wade and its effects, I think she would have added “abortion clinic.”

Flannery knew about pain, suffering, and disability — she died of lupus when she was only 39 years old. She lived her adult life dying, and knowing it, and you know how she wrote about it? “I have never been anywhere but sick. In a sense sickness is a place ... and it’s always a place where nobody can follow. Sickness before death is a very appropriate thing and I think those who don’t have it miss one of God’s mercies.”

Sickness and disability aren’t one and the same, but they share that quality of being a place apart — and a mercy, if only we let them.

Wild Thing's comment.......

Sarah Palin is the real thing. God bless Rebekah for writing about this experience. There is a lot of this going on and the McCain campaign does not trumpet it about...but the people involved do, and I am grateful they do.

Obama A Thug ~ "I want you to argue with them and get in their face" Ah But There Is More....

Today is the anniversary of the day Ayers friends killed a security guard and 2 police officers. - October 20, 1981

Obama's Foul Weather Friends

U.S. News and World Report

Second Source

Third Source:

Ayer’s wife, Weather Underground leader Bernadine Dohrn, she’s even more sinister than Ayers, and her sister, Jennifer Dohrn is shown verifying and supporting Dohrns voice telling Americans they will be attacked in the documentary.

Bernadine Dohrn’s sister, Jennifer Dohrn was married to the lawyer for the Black Panthers and was a professor at Columbia at the same time that Obama was at Columbia.

1981 Obama transfers from Occidental to Columbia for his junior year and moves to NYC. He lives at 339 E. 94th St with roommate Sohale Siddiqi.

Bernadine Dohrn made numerous contacts with Fidel Castro’s Cuban Mission at the UN in 1968 and 1969, during which time she arranged for SDS groups to visit Havana.

After returning from Cuba, Dohrn and others met with North Vietnamese and Viet Cong representatives in Budapest, Hungary, to discuss antiwar strategy on US campuses. Speaking a few days later at an assembly of revolutionary student movements at Columbia University, Dohrn reported that the Vietnamese communists she met in Budapest were working with US GIs in Saigon, attempting to obtain military information.

Obama has been less than forthcoming with information that might shed light on these close associations in his past. Until quite recently, researchers have been blocked from accessing the document archives of the Chicago Annenberg Challenge, now held at the University of Illinois at Chicago.

This delay has provided ample time to review and quite possibly sanitize the contents. When Klonsky was identified online earlier this year, all his posts at Obama's website were instantly deleted. Documentation concerning many aspects of Obama's life remains unavailable, including papers from his time in college and law school, medical records, law firm clients, and files as an Illinois State Senator.

Obama's campaign attorney has tried to suppress a TV ad that calls attention to his connection with Ayers, threatening the broadcast licenses of TV station managers and calling for the Justice Department to prosecute those who produced and financed the ad.

Throughout his life, Barack Obama has selected his mentors from the ranks of those who despise the United States. This common thread connects Hawaiian Communist Party organizer Frank Marshall Davis, the Rev. Jeremiah Wright ("God bless America? No, no... God DAMN America!") and the former Weatherman leaders, Ayers and Dohrn.

In 1981, former Weather Underground members along with a few former Black Panthers are arrested in association with the robbery of a Brinks armored truck 20 miles north of Manhattan. A guard is killed and the driver is wounded. $1.6 million is recovered.

One of the Weather Underground members arrested for the Brinks crime is Kathy Boudin, along with her boyfriend David Gilbert. Boudin is sentenced to 20 years-to-life. Boudin and Gilbert leave behind a 14-month-old son, Chesa Boudin, who ends up being raised by Bill Ayers and Bernardine Dohrn while his parents live in prison.

One of the former Black Panthers arrested in connection with the Brinks robbery is Nathaniel Burns, a member of the Black Liberation Army. Burns is also known as Sekou Odinga. Burns/Odinga is sentenced to 25 years-to-life for attempted murder of a police officer. (ODINGA, sound familiar?...also the last name of Obama's half brother)Obama’s Muslim-radical relative, Odinga

The perps of the Brinks robbery rented cars using information obtained from the records of Broadway Baby day care. Manager of Broadway Baby at the time? Bernardine Dohrn!! ( source)

Obama and Ayers later end up collaborating on several controversial projects in Chicago.

They work together to grant funds to Rashid Khalidi, Trinity United Church of Christ, and ACORN, among other “worthy” recipients.

Ayers and Dohrn host a soirée at their home to launch young Barack’s political career. (But we’re now to believe that Barack did not know that Ayers and Dohrn created and starred in the Weather Underground, for which they were tried as criminals.) However it was ruled that the Government’s case was based on illegal wiretaps. Stupid rules!!! So that is why many did not go to jail at all and the ones that did like Dohrn only went for a short time.

“The ties between Dohrn and Barack and Michelle Obama may run deep. From 1984-1988, Dohrn worked at Sidley & Austin, a law firm, which is also where Obama and his wife Michelle worked and met. “For three years after law school, Michelle worked as an associate in the area of marketing and intellectual property at Chicago law firm Sidley and Austin, where she met Barack Obama,” the official Obama campaign website reports. But it says nothing about meeting or knowing Dohrn.”

Valerie Jarrett, was Michele Obama’s boss. She is now Obama’s chief advisor and he does not make any major decisions without talking to her first. Where was Jarrett born? Ready for this? Shiraz, Iran!

Valerie Bowman Jarrett (born 1956) is a Chicago lawyer, businesswoman, and civic leader. She is a senior advisor to 2008 Democratic U.S. Presidential candidate Barack Obama. Valerie Bowman was born on November 14, 1956 in Shiraz, Iran,

Amazing Ayers Audio unearthed from the very same week Obama worked directly with Ayers!
Extremist Ayers and Obama match almost word for word on major issues.

Ayers says everyone around him knows his views, he doesn't hide them!

Compare this:

Weather Underground Mark Rudd, “Gut Check - challenge each other to be more violent”

And Obama:

In Elko, Obama tried to anticipate his critics and called on the crowd of about 1,500 to sharpen their elbows, too.

"I'm skinny but I'm tough," he says.

"I need you to go out and talk to your friends and talk to your neighbors. I want you to talk to them whether they are independent or whether they are Republican. I want you to argue with them and get in their face," he said.

"And if they tell you that, 'Well, we're not sure where he stands on guns.' I want you to say, 'He believes in the Second Amendment.' If they tell you, 'Well, he's going to raise your taxes,' you say, 'No, he's not, he's going lower them.' You are my ambassadors. You guys are the ones who can make the case."

Gadhafi "Says Arab world campaign contributions "may enable him Obama to win U.S. presidency"

Mideast leader: Obama a Muslim who studied in Islamic schools

Says Arab world campaign contributions 'may enable him to win U.S. presidency'

JERUSALEM

Sen. Barack Obama is a Muslim of Kenyan origins who studied in Islamic schools and whose campaign may have been financed by people in the Islamic and African worlds, Libyan leader Muammar Gadhafi said during a recent televised national rally.

"There are elections in America now. Along came a black citizen of Kenyan African origins, a Muslim, who had studied in an Islamic school in Indonesia. His name is Obama," said Gadhafi in little-noticed remarks he made at a rally marking the anniversary of the 1986 U.S. air raid on his country.

All the people in the Arab and Islamic world and in Africa applauded this man," continued Gadhafi. "They welcomed him and prayed for him and for his success, and they may have even been involved in legitimate contribution campaigns to enable him to win the American presidency.

"We are hoping that this black man will take pride in his African and Islamic identity, and in his faith, and that [he will know] that he has rights in America, and that he will change America from evil to good, and that America will establish relations that will serve it well with other peoples, especially the Arabs," Gadhafi said.

Gadhafi went on to lament statements Obama made at a June 4 address to the American Israel Public Affairs Committee in which the presidential candidate stated if he is elected president, "Jerusalem would remain the capital of Israel and it must remain undivided."

But it seems Gadhafi was not aware that the next day, during a CNN appearance, Obama explained he meant Jerusalem shouldn't be physically divided with a partition and was not referring to the city remaining in exclusively Jewish hands.

Stated Gadhafi: "But we were taken by surprise when our African Kenyan brother [Obama], who is an American national, made statements (about Jerusalem) that shocked all his supporters in the Arab world, in Africa, and in the Islamic world.

"We hope that this is merely an elections 'clearance sale,' as they say in Egypt - in other words, merely an elections lie. As you know, this is the farce of elections - a person lies and lies to people, just so that they will vote for him, and afterwards, when they say to him, 'You promised this and that,' he says: 'No, this was just elections propaganda.' This is the farce of democracy for you. He says: 'This was propaganda, and you thought I was being serious. I was fooling you to get your votes.'

"Allah willing, it will turn out that this was merely elections propaganda. Obama said he would turn Jerusalem into the eternal capital of the Israelis. This indicates that our brother Obama is ignorant of international politics, and is not familiar with the Middle East conflict," Gadhafi said.

Gadhafi went on to express his hope if elected Obama will implement a "one state solution" to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, meaning Israel would be flooded with millions of Palestinian Arabs who would terminate the country's Jewish nationality.

He said he was worried Obama may have a "black inferiority complex" whereby he may enact "white men" policies to prove he is no different from "white" America.

"The thing we fear most is that the black man suffers from an inferiority complex. This is dangerous. If our brother Obama feels that because he is black he doesn't have the right to rule America, this would be a disaster, because such a feeling would make him act whiter than the white, and go to an extreme in his persecution and degradation of the blacks.

"We say to him: Brother, the whites and blacks in America are equal. They are all immigrants. America belongs neither to the whites nor to the blacks. America belongs to its original inhabitants, the Indians. Both the whites and the blacks immigrated to America, and so they are equal, and Obama has the right to hold his head high, and say: 'I am a partner in America. This is my land as much as it is yours. If it is not my land, it is not yours either. It is the land of the Indians. You are immigrants, and so are we.'"

Obama was 'quite religious in Islam'

Obama repeatedly has denied he is a Muslim. His campaign site states: "Senator Obama has never been a Muslim, was not raised as a Muslim, and is a committed Christian."

But as WND has reported, public records in Indonesia listed Obama as a Muslim during his early years, and a number of childhood friends claimed to the media Obama was once a mosque-attending Muslim.

Obama's campaign several times has wavered in response to reporters queries regarding the senator's childhood faith.

Commenting on a recent Los Angeles Times report quoting a childhood friend stating Obama prayed in a mosque "something the presidential candidate said he never did," Obama's campaign released a statement explaining the senator "has never been a practicing Muslim."

In a free-ranging interview with the New York Times, Obama described the Muslim call to prayer as "one of the prettiest sounds on Earth at sunset."

The Times' Nicholos Kristof wrote Obama recited, "with a first-class [Arabic] accent," the opening lines of the Muslim call to prayer.

The first few lines of the call to prayer state:

Allah is Supreme!
Allah is Supreme!
Allah is Supreme! Allah is Supreme!
I witness that there is no god but Allah
I witness that there is no god but Allah
I witness that Muhammad is his prophet ...

For the rest of the article continue here..........WND

Wild Thing's comment............

I have posted about Gadhafi calling him a Muslim before, but this one adds in about the money coming in to Obama for hsi campaign from ARABS!

Obama campaign refused to release specifics of $100 million plus received in "small amounts" from foreign contributors.

And then there is all of this going on with Obama as well.

Several reports now of CREDIT CARD FRAUD in connection with Obama Donations, blatant, outright ILLEGAL OVERSEAS DONATIONS, etc,etc.

Obama is running the most CORRUPT Campaign ever run in AMERICAN HISTORY, and our media is willfully ignoring it.

....Thank you Mark for sending thia to me.

Racist Obama Says He Wants An "African-American Senate Successor Appointed"

Obama Said To Want African-American Senate Successor Appointed

Chicago Sun-Times

Sneed hears Barack Obama wants an African American to fill his U.S. Senate seat if he wins the presidency.

U.S. Rep. Jesse Jackson Jr. wants the spot.

That places Gov. Blagojevich, who is charged with selecting Obama's replacement, in a tricky place.

• To wit: Sneed hears Gov. Blago, who dismisses reports of a federal probe, wants to run for office again -- and believes replacing Barack with an African American is a smart political move. But he is being urged to select state Sen. Donne Trotter, a close friend of Obama mentor/Senate President Emil Jones, to fill the spot.

• Another dilemma: Sneed is also told U.S. Sen. Dick Durbin, who is this/close to Obama and was a major Obama supporter from the get-go, is pitching to have state veteran affairs chief Tammy Duckworth fill Obama's spot, and had the ear of Gov. Blago until recently. Blago is also a big Duckworth fan.

Wild Thing's comment..........

Can you imagine the fury that would surround the McCain campaign if John McCain was referenced as wanting a white American selected to take his seat by Arizona's governor if he were elected?

This is how it should be, a natural and sincere and authentic person running for office. Speaking from her heart about her Faith. Thank God for Sarah Palin. Thank God that John McCain chose Sarah for his VP. Prayers for all of them.

Colin Powell Endorses Obama (Racism and Terrorist Ayers)

First let's take a look back and see what ole Powell said about Obama:

September 15, 2008

nbc

"Colin Powell, the first African-American Secretary of State, said this afternoon that electing an African-American US president would be “electrifying” for the world, but he said he still remains undecided between McCain and Obama."

And now for today, October 19th, 2008

Colin Powell endorses Obama

cnn

Former Secretary of State Colin Powell announced Sunday that he will be voting for Sen. Barack Obama, citing the Democrat's "ability to inspire" and the "inclusive nature of his campaign." Former Secretary of State Colin Powell says he is voting for Barack Obama.

Powell, a retired U.S. general and a Republican, was once seen as a possible presidential candidate himself.

Powell said he questioned Sen. John McCain's judgment in picking Gov. Sarah Palin as his running mate because he doesn't think she is ready to be president.

He also said he was disappointed with some of McCain's campaign tactics, such as bringing up Obama's ties to former 1960s radical Bill Ayers.

"I think that's inappropriate. I understand what politics is about -- I know how you can go after one another, and that's good. But I think this goes too far, and I think it has made the McCain campaign look a little narrow. It's not what the American people are looking for," he said.

Powell said he has some concerns about the direction of the Republican Party, adding that it has "moved more to the right than I would like to see it."

Obama called Powell earlier Sunday and thanked him for his endorsement, communications director Robert Gibbs said.

In their 10-minute conversation, Obama said he looked forward to taking advantage of Powell's advice in the next two weeks and hopefully over the next four years, Gibbs said.

Followers of HO-bama

Wild Thing's comment......

I haven’t trusted Colin Powell for a long time , in fact since Bush was running against Gore and Powell made the announcement he would he thrilled to be in either of their cabinets, so this isn’t really a surprise! BUT what a jerk! No loyalty whatsoever! He would be NOTHING if it hadn’t been for Republicans! What a POS!

And I remember when Bush won that election, and Bush put Powell in his cabinet, Powell made a statement in his press conference all about how he was for affirmative action. That made it pretty clear he was more a democrat then anything else.

Powell has also described the Iraq war a failure, declared in front of an Arab audience that the US is losing the war and called the run-up of the war based on lies. He is an abysmal failure and traitor of the level of Wesley Clark. Puke.

"Powell said he questioned Sen. John McCain’s judgment in picking Gov. Sarah Palin as his running mate because he doesn’t think she is ready to be president.”

What in the world is he on. Sarah Palin doesn't have enough experience, but Obama does...?

And by saying electing a black president would be “electrifying” he’s told everyone race is more important to him than the state of the country.

A man who fought Communists in Vietnam is now supporting and endorsing a Communist. Amazing.

Colin Powell the prince of unearned “gravitas.”

John McCain is a war hero who endured hell in order to serve the American people. He did some things I never can forgive him for but compared to Obama, McCain/Palin get my vote.

Obama, on the other hand, is a self serving politician who has never sacrificed for anyone other than himself. He has a radical background, and is associated with people who hate our great country. For Powell to be upset with McCain because he questioned Obama’s associations is truly perplexing. How can we NOT question Obama’s association with Ayers, Wright, and all of the rest of his extremist friends? If Obama were applying for a low level government job, he would need character witnesses. Why should we ask any less of a man who wants to be CIC?

And, as far as Palin “not being experienced”. Well, she has more experience than Obama does. What Powell really means is that Sarah is too pro-life and too conservative for him to like her.

GRRRRRRRRRRRRRR the more I think of him saying bringing up Ayers is "inappropriate". The angrier I get.

Barack Hussein Obama Mocks Joe the Plumber

Fred Thompson on his latest visit to Florida Saturday October 18th, 2008

"A Barack Obama presidency would “change the face of this country” with higher taxes and liberal judicial picks. “There will be no stop-gap. Any amount of spending they want, any amount of taxes they want to pass,” he said. “Do you really think if they have the ability and power when they go to Washington they’re going to only raise taxes on 5 percent of the American people?”

And from John McCain:

"The response from Senator Obama and his campaign yesterday was to attack Joe. People are digging through his personal life and he has TV crews camped out in front of his house. He didn't ask for Senator Obama to come to his house. He wasn't recruited or prompted by our campaign. He just asked a question. And Americans ought to be able to ask Senator Obama tough questions without being smeared and targeted with political attacks."

Wild Thing's comment........

Any American who gets within close proximity to Obama should ask a tough question. How many ordinary Americans can Obama’s Goon Squad smear and still smell like roses to the majority of voters?

Barack Hussein Obama = Socialist Marxist Have Your Pick

James Pethokoukis

October 16, 2008

You're kidding me. Barack Obama actually told that Joe the Plumber guy that he wants to "spread the wealth around." What, did Obama just get done reading the Wikipedia entry on Huey "Share the Wealth" Long or something? Was he somehow channeling that left-wing populist from the Depression? Talk about playing into the most extreme stereotype of your party, that it is infested with socialists.

A while back I chatted with a University of Chicago professor who was a frequent lunch companion of Obama's. This professor said that Obama was as close to a full-out Marxist as anyone who has ever run for president of the United States.

Now, I tend to quickly dismiss that kind of talk as way over the top. My working assumption is that Obama is firmly within the mainstream of Democratic politics. But if he is as free with that sort of redistributive philosophy in private as he was on the campaign trail this week, I have no doubt that U of C professor really does figure him as a radical. And after last night's debate, a few more Americans might think that way, too. McCain's best line: "Now, of all times in America, we need to cut people's taxes. We need to encourage business, create jobs, not spread the wealth around."

And by the way, I just noticed that the IBD/TIPP poll, the most accurate in 2004, has McCain down by just 3 points. If the contest is perceived by the voters as a contest between a wealth redistributor and a wealth creator, then it could be a long night come Nov. 4.

And this article:

Investors' Real Fear: A Socialist Tsunami

INVESTOR'S BUSINESS DAILY

The Crash: "Why has the market dropped so much?" everyone asks. What is it about the specter of our first socialist president and the end of capitalism as we know it that they don't understand?

The freeze-up of the financial system — and government's seeming inability to thaw it out — are a main concern, no doubt. But more people are also starting to look across the valley, as they say, at what's in store once this crisis passes.

And right now it looks like the U.S., which built the mightiest, most prosperous economy the world has ever known, is about to turn its back on the free-enterprise system that made it all possible.

It isn't only that the most anti-capitalist politician ever nominated by a major party is favored to take the White House. It's that he'll also have a filibuster-proof Congress led by politicians who are almost as liberal.

Throw in a media establishment dedicated to the implementation of a liberal agenda, and the smothering of dissent wherever it arises, and it's no wonder panic has set in.

What is that agenda? It starts with a tax system right out of Marx: A massive redistribution of income — from each according to his ability, to each according to his need — all in the name of "neighborliness," "patriotism," "fairness" and "justice."

It continues with a call for a new world order that turns its back on free trade, has no problem with government controlling the means of production, imposes global taxes to support continents where our interests are negligible, signs on to climate treaties that will sap billions more in U.S. productivity and wealth, and institutes an authoritarian health care system that will strip Americans' freedoms and run up costs.

All the while, it ensures that nothing — absolutely nothing — will be done to secure a sufficient, terror-proof supply of our economic lifeblood — oil — a resource we'll need much more of in the years ahead.

The businesses that create jobs and generate wealth are already discounting the future based on what they know about Obama's plans to raise income, capital gains, dividend and payroll taxes, and his various other economy-crippling policies. Which helps explain why world stock markets have been so topsy-turvy.

But don't take our word for it. One hundred economists, five Nobel winners among them, have signed a letter noting just that:

"The prospect of such tax-rate increases in 2010 is already a drag on the economy," they wrote, noting that the potential of higher taxes in the next year or two is reducing hiring and investment.

It was "misguided tax hikes and protectionism, enacted when the U.S. economy was weak in the early 1930s," the economists remind us, that "greatly increased the severity of the Great Depression."

We can't afford to repeat these grave errors.

Yet much of the electorate is determined to vote for the candidate most likely to make them. If he wins, what we consider to be a crisis in today's economy will be a routine affair in tomorrow's.

Wild Thing's comment..........

This is an excellent article!!! I am glad there are people speaking out about Obama and his agenda. Now I jsut wish these same people would get on the media shows and blast away.

Minnesota Congresswoman Michelle Bachmann Speaks Out About Anti-American Obama

Michelle Bachmann Hammers Obama for "Anti-American" Associations

October 17, 2008

Video of Minnesota Congresswoman Michelle Bachmann appearing on MSNBC's "Hardball" with Chris Matthews. Matthews confronts Bachmann with McCain Campaign "robo calls" that are being placed in key states which hits Obama for his association with unrepentant terrorist William Ayers. During her response, Bachmann hammered Obama for his pattern of relationships with "anti-American" people like Jeremiah Wright and William Ayers.

Wild Thing's comment..........

Wow! She was great. She needs to keep speaking out and asking the questions the MSM won’t ask. She said every single thing needing to be said about the anti-American sentiments by Obama’s associates and she reminded about his wife finally being proud of her country. She didn’t waiver once .

I’ve just been surfing around YOUTUBE for Michele Bachmann videos. She’s GOT to be GREAT, because those commie libs REALLY hate her. They hate her more than Bush, Palin and Reagan combined!

Right after that exchange, Matthews had on Lynn Sweet, Washington D.C. bureau chief for the Chicago Sun-Times and Jonathan Martin of Politico.com. All three were ripping into Congresswoman Michelle Bachmann for her unAmerican charges. Sweet said she didn't know what she was talking about. Matthews even called it a return to 1950`s McCarthyism.

The left remains unhinged over anyone who says anything negative against the Messiah.

Sarah Palin Rally In Indiana 25,000 Attend

The head of the Republican party in Indiana, said that there were 25,000 at the rally in Indiana.

After watching Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin from afar for months, nearly 25,000 Hoosiers got their first glimpse of the stylish and feisty vice presidential nominee at the Verizon Wireless Music Center on a perfect fall Friday night.
And she didn't disappoint.

"Indiana, soon the choice will be yours to make, and are you ready to help carry this state to victory? Are you ready to make John McCain the next president of the United States of America? Are you ready to send us to Washington, D.C., to shake things up?" she asked.

She said the choice for Hoosiers is between a politician who puts his faith in government and a leader who puts his faith in the citizens.

"It's the choice between a politician who wants to raise taxes and redistribute your hard-earned money according to his priorities, versus a true reformer who wants to lower taxes and create jobs and get this economy going," Palin said.

It was her first visit to Indiana as GOP presidential nominee Sen. John McCain tries to hold onto a state Republicans usually can afford to take for granted.

But his challenger, Democrat Sen. Barack Obama, has been to Indiana six times since the May primary in addition to his wife and running mate stumping here as well. He has also blanketed the state with TV ads.

"My fellow Republicans, enough is enough," said Murray Clark, chairman of the Indiana Republican Party. "Yes, we have been outspent in Indiana. We have been outspent across the nation, but guess what? I don't care how much money he pours into this negative campaign, the thing that is going to win this election is people like you."

The atmosphere was more rock concert than political rally, as students from Ball State University painted "Maverick" on their bare chests and supporters bought pretzels and nachos from the concession stands.

Country music artist Aaron Tippin entertained the crowd with a few songs, including "Kiss This," which he dedicated to Obama.

The gates opened more than five hours before the program began and a line of people snaked as far as one could see, filing into the venue. All 6,000 pavilion seats were filled and thousands more perched on the lawn.

Once Palin took the stage, no one in the crowd sat down for the length of her 30-minute speech.

Palin's speech included a rebuke for Obama's ties to ACORN, a national reform-minded community organization under investigation in a dozen states including Indiana for possible voter registration fraud.

She said a front group for ACORN received money from the Obama campaign and he represented the organization as a lawyer earlier in his career.

"We have to talk about this. It is not mean-spirited and it is not negative campaigning when we talk about someone's record," Palin said. "Americans are entitled to answers before Election Day. We need a little straight talk. These associations are important and they go to the heart of someone's judgment and truthfulness.

"On Election Day you are going to be asked to choose between a candidate who will not disavow a group committing voter fraud and a leader who will not tolerate it."

Palin also invoked "Joe the plumber" from Ohio who took center stage during this week's presidential debate, when McCain used him as an example of a citizen who could be hurt by Obama's plan to raise taxes on wealthy Americans.

The man met Obama in his neighborhood last week and asked about the plan. During his response, the Democrat presidential candidate alluded to the need to spread the wealth around, to help struggling Americans.

"You've really got to hand it to Joe the Plumber. Somehow he succeeded in getting Barack Obama to finally state his true intentions," Palin said. "He wants the government to take more of your money and decide how best to redistribute it. Joe said it sounded kind of like socialism.

"I call it real bad medicine for an ailing economy."

Barack Hussein Obama Vows To 'change the world'

Farrakhan's Obama endorsement at the above 'annual Saviours' Day celebration in Chicago, Feb. 25, 2008'. Hear him call Obama "The Messiah"! And speak of "universal change":

Barack Obama has vowed that he will "change the world" even as he urged his supporters to guard against complacency.

telegraph.co.uk

Londonderry, New Hampshire

of Mr Obama's speech in Londonderry - punctuated by cries of "We all love you Obama", "I love you" and "We will work with you" - was devoted to the kind of quasi-religious sentiments and motivational-coach style exhortations, the kind of pride that set him up for a big fall in January.

"I want you to believe," said the candidate, clad in an open-necked shirt and barn jacket. "Not so much believe just in me but believe in yourselves. Believe in the future. Believe in the future we can build together. I'm confident together we can't fail."

There was a carnival atmosphere among the crowd of some 4,000, who almost drowned Mr Obama out as he reached his crescendo and said: "I promise you. We won't just win New Hampshire. We will win this election and, you and I together, we're going to change the country and change the world."

Statement from Communist Party USA (CPUSA):

"The Communist Party USA views the 2008 elections as a tremendous opportunity to defeat the policies of the right-wing Republicans and to move our country in a new progressive direction.

The record turnout in the Democratic Presidential primary races shows that millions of voters, including millions of new voters, are using this election to bring about real change. We wholeheartedly agree with them."

From Rules for Radicals, Alinsky outlines his strategy in organizing, writing:

"There's another reason for working inside the system. Dostoevsky said that taking a new step is what people fear most. Any revolutionary change must be preceded by a passive, affirmative, non-challenging attitude toward change among the mass of our people. They must feel so frustrated, so defeated, so lost, so futureless in the prevailing system that they are willing to let go of the past and change the future. This acceptance is the reformation essential to any revolution."[2]

[2] Saul Alinsky, The Latter Rain

Dr Ijaz Mian (at Derby’s Ahl-e-Hadith mosque): “Being a Muslim, you have to fix a target.

"There will be no House of Commons. From that White House to this Black House, we know we have to dismantle it. Muslims must grow in strength. . . then take over. If you don’t come for prayer, we will arrest you. But if you still don’t, then... you will be killed.”

Wild Thing's comment......

I would settle for B.Hussein Obama just buying the world a coke and then getting lost.

Not only is Barack Hussein Obama an anti-American antiWhite anti-Semitic socialist bigot, he is also a megalomaniac.

Marine Mom Deborah Johns Crossing America For McCain/Palin

Marine Mom Deborah Johns

Marine Mom Deborah Johns has helped give voice to many in the pro-troop movement. She has consistently taken time away from her personal life to speak out with unwavering conviction on behalf of our military men and women and their families back here on the homefront. No wonder Fox News Channel declared her to be one of their favorite military moms.

Deborah’s son, William, is an American hero who has served repeated tours of duty in Iraq. When anti-military radicals and their allies in the liberal political movement were attacking the missions of our troops, Deborah Johns was fighting back in support of our military men and women.

She has traveled across the country on five national tours, by minivan, motorhome and tour bus - traveling more than 15,000 miles by road, day-in and day-out and speaking to the news media and at pro-troop rallies.

In this clip, Deborah spoke to a local news affiliate in Columbus, Ohio about the need for Americans - including those in Congress - to support the excellent efforts of General David Petraeus.

And when the Berkeley City Council called U.S. Marines "uninvited and unwelcome intruders" Deborah Johns stepped up again, helping to lead the pushback against the Berkely City Council and in support of the Marines in particular, and our military as a whole.

Deborah Johns stood up against Democratic leaders Harry Reid & Nancy Pelosi when they tried to cut off funding for our troops. She stood up to Democrats in Congress who attempted to pass resolutions condemning the war on terror, and now she is prepared to stand up to Barack Obama's anti-military, "Blame America First" policies in his campaign for president and Commander-in-Chief.

A Message from Marine Mom Deborah Johns

Greetings from Marine Mom Deborah Johns -- I'm writing to you from the Our Country Deserves Better "Stop Obama Tour" bus as we approach Flagstaff, Arizona.

Friends, we have 17 days left in this election campaign, and national polls have once again tightened. But it's clear that right now, we're the underdogs, and we're up against a news media that is 'in the tank' for Obama, and the huge money advantage that the Obama campaign has held over the McCain campaign in TV ad spending.

We're fighting back to overcome these hurdles with a two-front strategy, and I'm imploring you to help. All of us at the Our Country Deserves Better Committee are working around-the-clock, going with little or no sleep. While we may be running on fumes in terms of physical strength and energy, we are topped-up with a full tank of passion and determination. The stakes are too high for us to fail in our efforts to elect the McCain/Palin ticket and beat Barack Obama.

When I think about how much work we must still do in the next 17 days, I sometimes feel overwhelmed. But then I stop and think about my Marine son, William, and Gov. Sarah Palin's son, Track, and all the men and women in uniform who are serving this country in Iraq, Afghanistan and around the globe.

These brave and honorable Americans are our neighbors, our friends, our co-workers, our family members. They are just like you and me, except that when called upon to serve their country they reach from within and conjure up their greatest strengths and attributes so as to accomplish their missions with duty, honor and character.

If our troops can achieve success while facing down al-Qaida in Iraq and the Taliban in Afghanistan while simultaneously taking enemy fire from leftist anti-war radicals back on the home front -- then can't we here on the home front find within ourselves the willpower, determination and energy to win this campaign that is so crucial to our nation's future?

I am asking for you to support us in one of two ways - or if you can, I certainly will accept your assistance in both ways:

1. Support our "Stop Obama Tour" by coming out to one of our rallies so we can have large crowds for the media coverage - TOUR INFO HERE.

2. Make a donation to our television ad campaign that is running in key battleground states. I've sent this email to about 150,000 people. We'll happily accept anything from $5 to $5,000. Just please help us step up our efforts to counter Barack Obama on the airwaves.

I hope to be addressing you in person at our rally stops across the nation. And you can always follow along at the blog of our radio talk show host/TV analyst leading this effort with us, Mark Williams, and his blog at the Sacramento Union - HERE.

Wild Thing's comment.........

Fantastic!!!! Gosh I love our military and military families. I know many of us have family that are serving in our military and many are deployed . Lynn has family members, Rhod his sons, Nicholas has two cousins sons serving and deployed and others we have shared about and pray for every day.

If Obama wins it will be the worst thing for both, those serving and for the families too. It will always be a shock to me that he can even run for any office and now we are facing something so horrible and evil, if he wins.

What an awesome country we have and so many that do support our military, are grateful to our Veterans and know the price that has been paid for our freedom.

....Thank you Mark for sending this to me.

RAGING PLUMBERS Wave Plungers At Obama Outside Rally

CNN reported today that a group of "plumbers" waved plungers at Obama in Roanoke, Virginia.

As Democratic nominee Barack Obama pulled into the Roanoke Civic Center on Friday, he was greeted by the usual McCain campaign supporters that show at Obama rallies. But this time, those waving McCain-Palin signs were joined by dozens of people waving standard-issue plungers. Some wore white t-shirts emblazoned with "I AM JOE THE PLUMBER" on the front.

About 6,500 showed up to see The One. The center holds 10,500.....Sarah's been getting bigger crowds then Obama.

MSM is busy looking for birth certificate, divorce, voting and medical records of Joe-the-Plumber, unlike for Obama-the-CryptoKenyanIslamicSocialist. Notice how the media puts more effort into doing a number on Sarah Palin and Joe the plumber then they did on looking into and teling the truth about OHHHHH BOMB AH and Ayers!!!! OH and Michelle HO-bama too! Can't leave her out she might order more treats brought in from Iran. haha

Wild Thing's comment.........

I wonder if we could drive Michelle and Barack Hussein Obama over the edge and send them plungers, ACORNS , and lipsticks. hahahaha

It would be safer for America if Michelle and Barack were in straight jackets instead of in our White House.

heh heh

"About 6,500 showed up to see The One. The center holds 10,500"

Elon, North Carolina Six thousand tickets were grabbed up in three hours for Sarah Palin's speech here at the baseball field of Elon University. An even larger crowd--9,000 inside, 3,000 outside--showed up across the state in Greenville a few days earlier. But impressive attendance isn't the half of it. What's extraordinary is the effect Palin has on crowds. "When she hits the stage audiences erupt and they don't calm down," says Republican senator Richard Burr of North Carolina, who appeared with Palin here and in Greenville. "I've been with Bush, Clinton, 41--and I've never seen anything like this."

Her speech--a standard stump speech extolling John McCain and zinging Barack Obama--hardly matters. People not only want to see her, Burr says, "they want to touch her. Their perception is she's one of them. It has nothing to do with ideology. It's not about Christian conservatives. It goes far beyond all that."

Michelle's Afternoon at the Waldorf

The Obamas at the Waldorf Hysteria hotel while Barack Hussein had to be there to make his comedic attempt for the Alfred E. Smith dinner.

This is the New York Post Page Six report:

"Though he's battling GOP accusations that he's an Ivy League elitist, Barack Obama has a lifestyle of the rich and famous, like TV show host Robin Leach, who always signed off, 'Champagne wishes and caviar dreams!' While he was at a meeting at the Waldorf-Astoria at 4 p.m. Wednesday, Michelle Obama called room service and ordered lobster hors d'oeuvres, two whole steamed lobsters, Iranian caviar and champagne."

Iranian?????

Not sure which Iranian one she asked for...... LINK

Sarah Palin to Appear on SNL

Live from New York, it's Sarah Palin

Saturday Night Live won’t need Tina Fey this weekend to parody Republican vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin—the Alaska governor will do it herself.

A spokeswoman for the McCain campaign told the Associated Press today that Palin will appear on the comedy sketch show this weekend, which will be hosted by actor Josh Brolin, who plays President Bush in Oliver Stone’s latest film “W.”

Palin joins the roster of presidential candidates who have appeared on SNL this election season. Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama and John McCain have all appeared on the show.

A John McCain campaign spokeswoman, Jill Hazelbaker, on Friday confirmed Palin's appearance but offered no details about what the Alaska governor will say or do.

Wild Thing's comment.......

I just got this a few minutes ago, it says it was announced one hour ago. I don't care for SNL anymore, it used ot be funny years and years ago. But I will watch it this time to see Sarah.

Joe the Plumber, is actually Joe America's Everyman

Toledo Blade

He won’t say who he will vote for on Nov. 4, but did say he likes Republican vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin.

He said he was born in the Toledo area, lived until he was 13 in the Florida Panhandle area, went to Springfield High School, and then entered the U.S. Air Force. He was stationed at an Air Force base in Alaska from 1992 until 1995. He said he was honorably discharged.

Joe Wurzelbacher held a news conference this morning at his Holland, Ohio home. Holland is about 8 miles from Toledo.

An advocacy group Family Security Matters secured an interview with Mr. Wurzelbacher

At a recent campaign appearance in Ohio, Sen. Obama was approached by plumber Joe Wurzelbacher, who has concerns about Obama’s proposed tax policies. FamilySecurityMatters.org’s Pam Meister had a candid conversation with him about his experience.

PAM MEISTER: You recently met Sen. Obama on the campaign trail in Ohio, and you asked him a question about his tax policies. What exactly was your question for him?

JOE WURZELBACHER: Initially, I started off asking him if he believed in the American Dream and he said yes, he does – and then I proceeded to ask him then why he’s penalizing me for trying to fulfill it. He asked, “what do you mean,” and I explained to him that I’m planning on purchasing this company – it’s not something I’m gonna purchase outright, it’s something I’m going to have to make payments on for years – but essentially I’m going to buy this company, and the profits generated by that could possibly put me in that tax bracket he’s talking about and that bothers me. It’s not like I would be rich; I would still just be a working plumber. I work hard for my money, and the fact that he thinks I make a little too much that he just wants to redistribute it to other people. Some of them might need it, but at the same time, it’s not their discretion to do it – it’s mine.

Regarding Obama’s statement that he didn’t want to punish success:

PAM MEISTER: …taxing small businesses making $250,000 and above is going to help the people “behind you.” And yes, “spreading the wealth around.” How did you feel about that?

JOE WURZELBACHER:As soon as he said it, he contradicted himself. He doesn’t want to “punish” me, but – when you use the word “but,” you pretty much negate everything you just said prior to that. So he does want to punish me, he does want to punish me for working harder to – you know, my big thing is the American Dream. I work hard. You know, I was poor; my mom raised me and my brother by herself for a very long time until my dad came along. So I know what it’s like to suffer. It’s not like I was born with a silver spoon. Usually it was a wooden spoon and it was on my butt. It was just a contradiction of terms, what he said: he doesn’t want to punish me but he wants to redistribute my wealth. And what I mean when I say my wealth, I mean the collective. Eventually – I mean, just to sound a little silly here, but you need rich people. I mean, who are you going to work for?

Good Morning America’s Diane Sawyer spoke with Joe Wurzelbacher.
Having become the nation’s most famous plumber, Wurzelbacher explains that he doesn’t make $250,000 now, but hopes to do so as a small business owner. And he sees no reason why that will remain the cutoff in an Obama administration, anyway:

FOX channel....John Gibson is a good man, I have read his articles and liked his commentary for several years. John Gibson talked to Joe Wurzelbacher just before the debate began.

Joe The Plumber's Chat With Couric

Joe Wurzelbacher – immortalized during tonight's presidential debate as "Joe The Plumber" – spoke with CBS Evening News anchor ( Couric is Horrible disgusting - my words added ) Katie Couric shortly after the conclusion of the final debate between Barack Obama and John McCain.

To get a sense of just how central Wurzelbacher was to the debate, consider this: McCain and Obama mentioned Wurzelbacher 26 times during the 90 minute debate. By contrast, Iraq came up six times, and the word "economy" was used 16 times.

While still on the air, Couric asked Wurzelbacher what he thought of the debate. He said he wasn't swayed either way, though he seems to be leaning towards one of the candidates.

"I mean I have a pretty good idea who I’m going to vote for but you know that’s my - you know, the nice thing about going into the booth is only me and the lever knows," he said. "I think McCain did a fine job this evening, I think he brought up some good points. I do like his health care and I do like his, where he stands on taxes."

COURIC: We want to go to Joe the plumber, Joe Wurzelbacher from Toledo, Ohio, because Joe is telling me that he's got three live trucks parked outside his house - actually from Holland, Ohio, let me correct that, Joe. Was this a bit of a surreal experience, hearing your name mentioned not once, but twice, but almost half a dozen times during the course of this debate, Joe?

Mr. JOSEPH WURZELBACHER: Yeah, actually, surreal's a good word to use for it. It was - you know, I was glad I was able to act as some type of point, you know, to where they could sit there and hammer out what they both think, what they want to say. But ultimately, you know, the important part was the debate.

COURIC: And again, why don't you just reiterate quickly for us, Joe, because I want you to get back, get to your local news station where you are, how you felt about the statements made by the candidates vs. the statements you heard when they were out on the campaign trail talking to you.

WURZELBACHER: One thing I noticed that seemed like Obama changed his mind on offshore drilling, which I thought was a good move. I don't know how much he wants to do of it, I'd like to talk to - hear more about that. McCain I - made a solid - you know, McCain was solid in his performance.

Obama speaks well, but the one thing that's really important, that everyone in America really need to know is, you know, talk is talk. You know, he can speak pretty, but, you know, there's got to be action behind it. We've seen McCain, we know his actions. Even if you disagree with him, at least you know where he stands. McCain - or Obama, we're not sure where he stands yet, even after his debates. Like I said, he speaks eloquently, better than I do, but I honestly, I still don't know where he stands. He's said a lot, but none of his experience has backed it up. You know, the only experience I've seen or his actions are raising our taxes, so, you know, I'm middle class. I can't have my taxes raised anymore.

COURIC: Well, he supposedly will raise taxes only on people who make over $250,000 a year. Would you be in that category?

WURZELBACHER: Not right now at presently, but, you know, question, so he's going to do that now for people who make $250,000 a year. When's he going to decide that $100,000 is too much, you know? I mean, you're on a slippery slope here. You vote on somebody who decides that $250,000 and you're rich? And $100,000 and you're rich? I mean, where does it end? You know, that's - people got to ask that question.

COURIC: Could you just, Joe, explain quickly, and then we'll let you go, how you met both of the candidates?

WURZELBACHER: I've yet to meet John McCain. Obama came to my neighborhood and my son and I were outside tossing the football, and all of a sudden he showed up, and there went our football tossing for a while. And, you know, neighbors were outside asking him questions, and I didn't think they were asking him tough enough questions, so I thought, you know, I'll go over there. You know, I've always wanted to ask one of these guys a question and really corner them and get them to answer a question of--for once instead of tap dancing around it. And unfortunately I asked the question but I still got a tap dance. Do you - almost as good as Sammy Davis Jr.

COURIC: Joe Wurzelbacher, I mispronounced your last name earlier, Joe. Maybe you should fill in on "Meet the Press," Joe. Or "Face the Nation," I should add. I know they're looking for someone on "Meet the Press," that's why I said that. Joe, hey...

WURZELBACHER: Great. I've got opinions and I, you know, and that's it. But I - you know, everyone has opinions.

COURIC: Yeah, that's for darn sure. Well, Joe, thanks so much for talking with us. I'll let you get outside to your local news reporters. And really, I really appreciate your spending some time with us tonight. And now everybody knows your name, at least, right?

WURZELBACHER: I don't know if that's good or bad, but we'll see how, you know, the future brings.

McCain/Palin campaign ad with Joe the Plumber

Joe Biden just more words, just more LIES!

Biden is worried about the truth and it came from Joe the Plumber!

Wild Thing's comment.............

Middle America Says No To Socialism!!!! I think that Joe the Plumber is America’s everyman and woman all of us. There’s a Joe in every city and town in America. Thank God for Joe and for Sarah Palin.

Obama said “spread the wealth” to Joe’s face.

Now Obama and his spinners want to lie and claim Obama said something else or change the subject.

Obama said “spread the wealth” as in Karl Marx.

It should be frightening to anyone who sees this video to consider that here in a few short, concise comments by a plumber we hear more common sense and wisdom than we are used to hearing from our elected leaders in a month.

National Plumbing Organization Responds to 'Joe the Plumber' Focus

National Plumbing Organization Responds to 'Joe the Plumber' Focus

Market Watch

Today the president of the Plumbing-Heating-Cooling Contractors--National Association (PHCC) released a statement applauding the efforts of both presidential candidates for their focus on plumbing contractors during the presidential debate on Wednesday night. Plumbing, heating and cooling contractors are small business owners who are becoming a prominent part of the debate on the country's economic future.

"We think it is great that comments from 'Joe the Plumber' were brought up several times in last night's presidential debate," said PHCC President Joe Schmitt, Joe Schmitt & Sons Plumbing & Heating, Englewood, Ohio. "Plumbing, heating and cooling contractors, most of whom operate small businesses, have been a big part of the American economy during our organization's 126-year history. Unfortunately, smaller companies like ours can be forgotten as the country focuses on big business issues."

"The impact of the next administration's tax policy will have a major impact on our members, no matter which party is in office. It is our sincere hope that both the Democratic and Republican candidates will think long and hard about the comments of my fellow Ohio plumber Joe Wurzelbacher as they consider future tax programs. It is imperative that entrepreneurs like Joe and PHCC members across the country have the opportunity to buy small businesses and create jobs for Americans. That is the American dream, after all."

"Small businesses throughout the nation are hurting during this economic downturn. With rising gas prices, the cost of health care and the uncertainties facing our financial markets, they're being hit from all sides. Reform of our nation's tax policies should be a top priority for the next administration. The survival of PHCC's members and America's small businesses may depend on this. The next president must consider the needs and contributions of plumbing, heating and cooling contractors as small businesses. This has to be priority in order to help this economy recover and to encourage investment from new business owners."

"Throughout our 126-year history PHCC has helped to protect the health and safety of the nation. It is now Washington's turn to step up to the plate and help save our businesses."

Wild Thing's comment.......

Cooll! This is great, with the attacks staring on Joe this is good news and a backup for what he has said how he feels. Not a backup for Joe , but to show Obama and his thugs this is not an isolated case of one person speaking out like Joe did.

It is all of us, all Americans that work hard and don't want socialism.

There once was a plumber named Joe
Made Obama look just like a schmoe
Knows his job to a tee
So he flushed him you see
To the place that all Marxists should go!

Sarah Palin in Maine and N.C. Crowds of 15,000

Gov. Sarah Palin, speaks at a campaign stop at the Bangor Airport, Thursday, Oct. 16, 2008, in Bangor, Maine They had to change hangers the small one could not hold everyone. Crowd estimated at almost 14,000 to 15,000. See below also crowd size at N.C.

Sarah Palin, right, with Sen. Olympia Snowe, R-Maine, reacts with excitment as she sees the crowd waiting for her in an airplane hangar during a campaign stop at the Bangor Airport

BANGOR, Maine

(AP)

Sarah Palin has been campaigning in Maine, where she scolded Barack Obama for not disavowing a community activist group that registers voters.

The group known as ACORN - the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now - has drawn condemnation from the GOP ticket as its workers sign up voters in swing states. Nearly a dozen states and the FBI are looking into allegations of voter registration fraud.

Palin told about 6,000 people at Bangor International Airport that she feels right at home in Maine with all the steel-toed boots and NRA hats. She promised that she and John McCain would look out for the interests of the working class.

Note the doofus woman at the end of the video saying "I'm really glad I got to see her in person. I've only seen her on TV, and she didn't seem to connect. I'm one of those Republican women who was on the fence over her..." ....she is lame brain but we still want her vote. haha

At a rally in Bangor, Maine, she praised the debate performance of her running mate, John McCain. Then the GOP vice-presidential candidate added to the growing conversation about Joe Wurzelbacher. He is the plumber from Ohio whose name was mentioned more than two dozen times by the presidential candidates in their final debate Wednesday night.

McCain, Palin said, is “a leader who’s going to Washington to work for Joe the Plumber.” She later added: “You know, we want to cut taxes because we think like Joe or Jane the Plumber thinks.”

Sarah brings up the OTHER Joe......Joe Biden, the Democratic vice-presidential candidate. “Our opponents want to raise taxes because they think like that other Joe, that six-term senator from Delaware whom I’m running against,” she said.

And this from N.C.................

Palin says God blessed America with oil and gas

ELON, N.C.

(AP)

Republican vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin said Thursday that God blessed the nation with oil and gas resources and other forms of energy that should be tapped to reduce U.S. dependence on foreign suppliers.

The Alaska governor told supporters at Elon University that she and GOP presidential nominee John McCain will develop new energy sources.

"God has so richly blessed this land, not just with the oil and the gas, but with wind and the hydro, the geothermal and the biomass," Palin said. "We'll tap into those."

Palin said some of the countries the U.S. relies on for energy use their resources "as a weapon." And she said the billions spent each year on oil imports should be circulated within the country "for the sake of the nation's security."

"We need to drill here and drill now," Palin said as the crowd chanted "drill baby, drill." A protester at the back of the crowd shouted "No blood for oil."

Palin's message delights crowd of 15,000 at Elon

The Times News.com

ELON - Resplendent in GOP red heels, Sarah Palin toed the platform above home plate at Latham Park at Elon University and hammered home a low-taxes, small-government, pro-family, pro-America message to the delight of a large crowd.

Palin said Obama and Biden "think that government is the solution.

"I disagree with that. I think that government too often is the problem," she continued. "And we need government put back on your side so that our businesses and our families can keep more of what they produce and earn, and then you prioritize, you reinvest ... that is how jobs are created and our economy gets moving again."

In this election you have a choice between inspiring words and inspiring and trustworthy deeds that come from John McCain," she said. "Now North Carolina, I'm here to ask you - are you ready to help us carry this state to victory? Are you ready to make John McCain the next president of the United States?"

The crowd frequently interrupted her speech with full-throated approval, hoisting signs, waving pompoms and chanting "USA, USA .... Sarah, Sarah, Sarah" and "Drill, baby, drill."

'Sarah-liscious': Seen at the Palin rally Thursday

the times news.com

ELON, N.C.

Like her or not, few would call Sarah Palin boring.

That made for unusually colorful campaign buttons, T-shirts and signs at her political rally at Elon University on Thursday.

Many focused on the former beauty queen's physical appearance. Others played on the self-proclaimed hockey mom's convention acceptance speech joke that "lipstick" is the difference between a hockey mom and a pit bull.

Here's a sampling:

-- "I'm proud to be voting for the Hot Chick!" This bold statement on a campaign button was accompanied by a photo of Palin from her time as Miss Wasilla, the Alaska town where she was later mayor.

-- Along similar lines, one campaign button proclaimed Palin "The Hottest VP from the Coolest State."

-- "Sarah-liscious," accompanied by the image of a lipstick print.

-- "Vote for the Man with the Lipstick-Wearing Pitbull."

-- "Read My Lipstick."

-- "Sarah Barracuda," a reference to Palin's nickname earned by her aggressive high school basketball play.

-- "You Go, Girl!" seen on campaign buttons and signs.

-- NObama. No explanation needed.

-- "Drill, baby, drill!" a reference to the McCain-Palin campaign's emphasis on finding new domestic oil.

-- "Mothers of 5 rock," seen on a sign one woman held up. As you'd guess, that's the number of children Pain has.

-- "Extra chromosome equals extra love," written on a sign Palin mentioned seeing in the crowd while giving her speech. She and her husband's youngest son was born this year with Down Syndrome.

-- Five Elon students painted their chests to spell Palin's last name. (Yes, they were male). Five students from Alamance Christian School were a little less bold, spelling her name with letters painted on T-shirts.

-- Political items on sale at the rally included decks of playing cards featuring mostly Republican political figures. But Democratic presidential nominee Barack Obama is the joker in each deck.

Wild Thing's comment...........

Sarah's crowds are always so great, huge and they all love her just like we all do. I am so proud of her, thank you God for our VP candidate.

I just love it. Finally, somebody is speaking up for the old “Silent Majority” which has been mercilessly abused culturally and fiscally by leftist politicians for 40 years. Her message is really resonating with Americans who treasure the land that is almost lost. A simple message, too - smaller government and no terrorist pals in the WH.

Fox to change World Series time for DESPERATE Barack Hussein Obama

Fox to change World Series time for Obama

Presidential candidate's ad buy interfering with game
By Paul J. Gough

NEW YORK

Barack Obama might have the power to move the World Series by a few minutes.

To accommodate a half-hour Obama time buy on Fox on Oct. 29, Major League Baseball has agreed to move the start time of World Series Game 6 by about 15 minutes. That would move the start of the game from 8:20 p.m. ET or so to 8:35 p.m.

"Fox will accommodate Senator Obama's desire to communicate with voters in this longform format," Fox Sports said in a statement. "We are pleased that Major League Baseball has agreed to delay the first pitch of World Series Game 6 for a few minutes in order for Fox to carry his program on Oct. 29. If requested, the network would be willing to make similar time available to Senator McCain's campaign."

Along with CBS and NBC, Fox was approached by the Obama campaign last week to purchase the 8-8:30 p.m. time slot Oct. 29. If a Game 6 is needed, Fox is obligated to carry the game. That prevented the network from agreeing outright to carry the commercial, which was cleared by CBS and NBC last Thursday.

The blessing from MLB clears the way for Fox to air the promo and collect upward of $1 million in ad revenue for the half hour, more than what either CBS or NBC was charging.

While a big network ad buy from a presidential candidate is rare, it's not unprecedented for a network and sports league to move the start time of a sports event to accommodate a political broadcast. In early September, the National Football League moved up the kickoff time of the opening-night game -- which aired on NBC -- to 7 p.m. to make sure that the game would be over before Sen. John McCain stepped up to the podium to accept the nomination of the Republican party during the RNC.

Wild Thing's comment........

Obama’s “Heidi” moment.

Here we go - it's starting - OBAMA is going to make us change everything we love about this country. Starting with the start time of our GAME.

This will be his second European tour. He is not the POTUS and there is no vital emergency message he needs to convey. Obama’s message is one of self importance to propel him for his own ego. Most viewers will not want the game delayed for the false messiah. They are tuning in to watch baseball, not Obama.

His entire campaign has been scripted. He’s looking pretty desperate if he has to buy a half hour to reach Joe Six Pack.

His speech in Germany was seen by many here as "overboard." And let's not forget his acceptance speech at the Greek Temple in Colorado. Everything this guy has done is excessive, and over the top.

Too bad Sarah Palin isn’t scheduled to throw out the first pitch! That’d take the hype out of Obama’s prime time BS.

LOL I told Nicholas about this and I was all upset. He just laughed hahahha and I asked why aren't you upset? He explained that this is great and will show what a jerk Obama is and then handed me a cookie. hahahaha Nicholas is a genius of course and absolutely rigiht. giggle.... Thank you Nicholas.....GO NAVY!

John Murtha Spews Lies and Biden Can't Count

POS Murtha On Obama and says...... "Racist Western Pennsylvania"

And this on Murtha as well...................

Arrogant Murtha to Americans: "Tough Shit."

Jack Murtha is undoubtedly not only the most corrupt member of congress, but the most arrogant.

When complaints arose that it is still difficult to find information regarding earmarks embedded in legislations, Murtha had a wonderful answer to those Americans who wish to know where their tax dollars are going:

Last year, Congress promised to shed light on the secretive process. But the lists of earmarks are still buried in obscure documents that are difficult to find and search. Until Congress put them online a couple of weeks ago, the House disclosure letters, linking lawmakers to companies, were thick volumes of paper kept in a cabinet in the offices of the House Appropriations Committee.

When a reporter for Congressional Quarterly pointed out how difficult it remains to pull all the information together, Rep. John Murtha, D-Pa., chairman of the committee that drafts the defense bill, had a quick answer: “Tough s***.”

Support Lt Col. William Russell For Congress!

John Murtha : “These people in western Pennsylvania would rather suffer under a John McCain presidency rather than vote for a black man,” noted Murtha. “And then they wonder why they are how they are, and why the region suffers economically. Pure ignorance. And I personally don’t give a damn what Bill Russell says, he’s just as racist!”

Pennsylvania Governor Ed Rendell.: “Western Pennsylvania is made up primarily of working class crackers, veterans, bitter clingers, and old, unyielding white people, most of whom would barely let Obama shine their shoes,” stated Pennsylvania Governor Ed Rendell.

Senator Joe Biden: “This has nothing to do with the terrorist Bill Ayers,” fired Senator Joe Biden, . “This has everything to do with race, and Americans know it deep down in their heart! Rush Limbaugh, Ann Coulter, Laura Ingraham and Sean Hannity should shut their mouth, and quit spewing their vitriol!”

Joe Biden , well he just can't count. LOL

Wild Thing's comment.....

When oh when are they going to take this pig Murtha to the slaughter. I sure hope Lt. Col. Bill Russell (ret) can beat this jerk in this election and we can be rid of Murtha.

Ole Community Organizer with Socialist Agenda vs.Sen. McCain Debate Notes

This election is about keeping the socialists from radically altering this country.

According to FOX, Obama is complaining today that he would be ahead by at least 3 more points if it wasn’t for FOX News. What a cry baby. He just can't stand the fact that he only controls 90% of the media.

In 8 years, President Bush has not complained ONE TIME about unfair treatment of the media. If Obama wins, is he going to spend all of his time crying and complaining if someone hurts his feelings.

McCain gives a shoutout to Nancy Reagan in the hospital.

McCain won the handshake!!

Obama is Ahhhhing excessively early on

McCain is bringing up the Joe the plummer...woohoo!!!.......McCain plays the PLUMBER CARD!

Joe Wurzelbacher, aka "Joe the Plumber".........a small Business Owner Confronts Obama On Raising His Taxes

Obama left the neighborhood right after the conversation with Joe, admitting that the conversation was good practice for the debate.

MCCAIN:

You know, when Senator Obama ended up his conversation with Joe the plumber -- we need to spread the wealth around. In other words, we're going to take Joe's money, give it to Senator Obama, and let him spread the wealth around.

I want Joe the plumber to spread that wealth around. You told him you wanted to spread the wealth around.

The whole premise behind Senator Obama's plans are class warfare, let's spread the wealth around. I want small businesses -- and by the way, the small businesses that we're talking about would receive an increase in their taxes right now.

Who -- why would you want to increase anybody's taxes right now? Why would you want to do that, anyone, anyone in America, when we have such a tough time, when these small business people, like Joe the plumber, are going to create jobs, unless you take that money from him and spread the wealth around.

Thank GOODNESS he’s mentioning the plumber and Obama’s tax plan!

McCain just said “Class Warfare”!!!!!!......Get em John!

SPREAD THE WEALTH! CLASS WARFARE! *smacksmack* ‘Why would you want to increase taxes on anyone right now?’

McCain lands one squarely! Keep it up John. Do not stop !! Obama is defending his Socialist IDEALS! BOOM GET EM JOHN!

MCCAIN: Nobody likes taxes. Let's not raise anybody's taxes. OK?

OBAMA: Well, I don't mind paying a little more.

This is a photo of Barack Obama and other New Party socialists including Danny K Davis (center), from the front page of New Party News,

Spring 1996: Power Line reported that Obama is even quoted in this socialist newsletter.

Obama actively sought the New Party’s endorsement and urged the Marxist members to join his campaigns. The New Party went so far as to claim Obama as an official member of their organisation. The New Party socialists were affiliated with the Democratic Socialists of America.

MCCAIN STRUNG HIM UP ON TAXES!!!!

John McCain has come out swinging and is landing blows!

McCain has Obama on the defensive, no doubt about it.

McCain is getting into his groove, he started a bit rough, but when he got to the corporate tax stuff he was getting into his groove.

"Senator Obama, you're a United States Senator. Why haven't you introduced legislation for all these great ideas you have? In fact, to expand on that, why haven't you introduced them since the last time you promised them, in your earlier election!"

If you wanted to run against Pres Bush, you shouldve run 4 years ago . YEAH!!! LOL Obama’s lost half of his talking points for the rest of this debate!!!

“I am not President Bush” BAM! BAM BAM

Mac Slap! WOOHOO!!! “I am not President Bush”...looked directly at him...Body Slam!! McCain’s hammering him!

Obama being disrespectful while McCain talking. Snickering and laughing. I can't stand Obama!

McCain calls Obama Senator Government. hahahaha

Obama is clearly a little flustered by McCain’s jabs McCain is on his game tonight.

Hussein says he has a “history of reaching across the aisle”????.......What an unmitigated ass.

What the heck is Obama taking about? Every time he speaks my mind wonders, He is such a nothing and very hard to listen to. He’s a moron!

McCain has him on the ropes! Obama is starting to stutter. McCain has him rattled

SCHIEFFER: Senator Obama, your campaign has used words like "erratic," "out of touch," "lie," "angry," "losing his bearings" to describe Senator McCain.
Senator McCain, your commercials have included words like "disrespectful," "dangerous," "dishonorable," "he lied." Your running mate said he "palled around with terrorists."

Are each of you tonight willing to sit at this table and say to each other's face what your campaigns and the people in your campaigns have said about each other?

And, Senator McCain, you're first.

MCCAIN:

Well, this has been a tough campaign. It's been a very tough campaign. And I know from my experience in many campaigns that, if Senator Obama had asked -- responded to my urgent request to sit down, and do town hall meetings, and come before the American people, we could have done at least 10 of them by now.

When Senator Obama was first asked, he said, "Any place, any time," the way Barry Goldwater and Jack Kennedy agreed to do, before the intervention of the tragedy at Dallas. So I think the tone of this campaign could have been very different.

And the fact is, it's gotten pretty tough. And I regret some of the negative aspects of both campaigns. But the fact is that it has taken many turns which I think are unacceptable.

One of them happened just the other day, when a man I admire and respect -- I've written about him -- Congressman John Lewis, an American hero, made allegations that Sarah Palin and I were somehow associated with the worst chapter in American history, segregation, deaths of children in church bombings, George Wallace. That, to me, was so hurtful.

And, Senator Obama, you didn't repudiate those remarks. Every time there's been an out-of-bounds remark made by a Republican, no matter where they are, I have repudiated them. I hope that Senator Obama will repudiate those remarks that were made by Congressman John Lewis, very unfair and totally inappropriate.

So I want to tell you, we will run a truthful campaign. This is a tough campaign. And it's a matter of fact that Senator Obama has spent more money on negative ads than any political campaign in history. And I can prove it. And, Senator Obama, when he said -- and he signed a piece of paper that said he would take public financing for his campaign if I did -- that was back when he was a long-shot candidate -- you didn't keep your word.

And when you looked into the camera in a debate with Senator Clinton and said, "I will sit down and negotiate with John McCain about public financing before I make a decision," you didn't tell the American people the truth because you didn't.

And that's -- that's -- that's an unfortunate part. Now we have the highest spending by Senator Obama's campaign than any time since Watergate.

McCain is really on his game!

McCain has blamed Obama for not using the town halls to talk face to face. 10 townhalls any place anytime! Barrack didn’t do it! Go John!

Bringing up Lewis now...keep em hitting....McCain challenging Obama on the John Lewis stuff .

WOW GO John GO! Finally and this is great!

OBAMA:

I mean, look, if we want to talk about Congressman Lewis, who is an American hero, he, unprompted by my campaign, without my campaign's awareness, made a statement that he was troubled with what he was hearing at some of the rallies that your running mate was holding, in which all the Republican reports indicated were shouting, when my name came up, things like "terrorist" and "kill him," and that you're running mate didn't mention, didn't stop, didn't say "Hold on a second, that's kind of out of line."

And I think Congressman Lewis' point was that we have to be careful about how we deal with our supporters.

But when people suggest that I pal around with terrorists, then we're not talking about issues. What we're talking about...

MCCAIN: Well, let me just say I would...

SCHIEFFER: (inaudible)

MCCAIN:

Let me just say categorically I'm proud of the people that come to our rallies. Whenever you get a large rally of 10,000, 15,000, 20,000 people, you're going to have some fringe peoples. You know that. And I've -- and we've always said that that's not appropriate.

But to somehow say that group of young women who said "Military wives for McCain" are somehow saying anything derogatory about you, but anything -- and those veterans that wear those hats that say "World War II, Vietnam, Korea, Iraq," I'm not going to stand for people saying that the people that come to my rallies are anything but the most dedicated, patriotic men and women that are in this nation and they're great citizens.

And I'm not going to stand for somebody saying that because someone yelled something at a rally -- there's a lot of things that have been yelled at your rallies, Senator Obama, that I'm not happy about either.

In fact, some T-shirts that are very...

OBAMA: John, I...

MCCAIN:

... unacceptable. So the point is -- the point is that I have repudiated every time someone's been out of line, whether they've been part of my campaign or not, and I will continue to do that.

But the fact is that we need to absolutely not stand for the kind of things that have been going on. I haven't.

John is ruling this debate and smashing the Pumpkin! Woo hoo!

Obama’s people smear Palin and McCain. Obama has spent more money on negative ads than any other campaign in history.

The ONE looks VERY TICKED. It’s all over his face, he can’t stand being confronted with the truth.

McCain calls him a liar and gives two shinning examples - Obama responds “well ... look. (thinking of a reply) “Political campaigns are tough.”

Obama is now attacking Palin.

McCain stands behind supporters!

MAC ATTACK!

Go, McCain!

John is FINALLY getting angry at this stupid Muslim

Obama offended at comments that he pals around with terrorists!

McCain not standing for any bull..people who come to his rallies are patriotic and alot of stuff at Obama’s rally unacceptable including the T shirts!!!

Mentions those disgusting C word shirts with Sarah's name on them, by Obama’s supporters.

McCain has the truth on his side....

McCain—saya he’s proud of the people who comes to our rallies.

Defends his supporters—vets—says a lot of things said at your rallies, Sen. Odummy.

Odummy flustered for a moment. Oh my gosh, he’s going after Ayers and ACORN now.

GO MCCAIN GO!!!!!!!!!!!! FINALLY HALLELUJAH !''

McCain:“I don’t care about an old washed-up terrorist but I really care about voter fraud being carried out by your campaign!”

McCain: we need to know the full relationship with Ayers;

HITS ODUMMY WITH ACORN HARD!!! MAC now challenges him on AYERS and ACORN !!!!!!!

OBAMA: Well, look, Bob, as I said...

SCHIEFFER: I mean, do you take issue with that?

OBAMA: You know, here's what I would say. I mean, we can have a debate back and forth about the merits of each other's campaigns. I suspect we won't agree here tonight.

What I think is most important is that we recognize that to solve the key problems that we're facing, if we're going to solve two wars, the worst financial crisis since the Great Depression, if we can -- if we're going to focus on lifting wages that have declined over the last eight years and create jobs here in America, then Democrats, independents and Republicans, we're going to have to be able to work together.

And what is important is making sure that we disagree without being disagreeable. And it means that we can have tough, vigorous debates around issues. What we can't do, I think, is try to characterize each other as bad people. And that has been a culture in Washington that has been taking place for too long. And I think...

MCCAIN: Well, Bob, you asked me a direct question.

SCHIEFFER: Short answer, yes, short answer.

MCCAIN:

Yes, real quick. Mr. Ayers, I don't care about an old washed-up terrorist. But as Senator Clinton said in her debates with you, we need to know the full extent of that relationship.

We need to know the full extent of Senator Obama's relationship with ACORN, who is now on the verge of maybe perpetrating one of the greatest frauds in voter history in this country, maybe destroying the fabric of democracy. The same front outfit organization that your campaign gave $832,000 for "lighting and site selection." So all of these things need to be examined, of course.

SCHIEFFER: All right. I'm going to let you respond and we'll extend this for a moment.

OBAMA: Bob, I think it's going to be important to just -- I'll respond to these two particular allegations that Senator McCain has made and that have gotten a lot of attention.

In fact, Mr. Ayers has become the centerpiece of Senator McCain's campaign over the last two or three weeks. This has been their primary focus. So let's get the record straight. Bill Ayers is a professor of education in Chicago.

Forty years ago, when I was 8 years old, he engaged in despicable acts with a radical domestic group. I have roundly condemned those acts. Ten years ago he served and I served on a school reform board that was funded by one of Ronald Reagan's former ambassadors and close friends, Mr. Annenberg.

Other members on that board were the presidents of the University of Illinois, the president of Northwestern University, who happens to be a Republican, the president of The Chicago Tribune, a Republican- leaning newspaper.

Mr. Ayers is not involved in my campaign. He has never been involved in this campaign. And he will not advise me in the White House. So that's Mr. Ayers.

Now, with respect to ACORN, ACORN is a community organization. Apparently what they've done is they were paying people to go out and register folks, and apparently some of the people who were out there didn't really register people, they just filled out a bunch of names.

It had nothing to do with us. We were not involved. The only involvement I've had with ACORN was I represented them alongside the U.S. Justice Department in making Illinois implement a motor voter law that helped people get registered at DMVs.

Now, the reason I think that it's important to just get these facts out is because the allegation that Senator McCain has continually made is that somehow my associations are troubling.

Let me tell you who I associate with. On economic policy, I associate with Warren Buffett and former Fed Chairman Paul Volcker. If I'm interested in figuring out my foreign policy, I associate myself with my running mate, Joe Biden or with Dick Lugar, the Republican ranking member on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, or General Jim Jones, the former supreme allied commander of NATO.

Those are the people, Democrats and Republicans, who have shaped my ideas and who will be surrounding me in the White House. And I think the fact that this has become such an important part of your campaign, Senator McCain, says more about your campaign than it says about me.

MCCAIN: Well, again, while you were on the board of the Woods Foundation, you and Mr. Ayers, together, you sent $230,000 to ACORN. So -- and you launched your political campaign in Mr. Ayers' living room.

OBAMA: That's absolutely not true.

MCCAIN: And the facts are facts and records are records.

OBAMA: And that's not the facts.

MCCAIN:

And it's not the fact -- it's not the fact that Senator Obama chooses to associate with a guy who in 2001 said that he wished he had have bombed more, and he had a long association with him. It's the fact that all the -- all of the details need to be known about Senator Obama's relationship with them and with ACORN and the American people will make a judgment.

And my campaign is about getting this economy back on track, about creating jobs, about a brighter future for America. And that's what my campaign is about and I'm not going to raise taxes the way Senator Obama wants to raise taxes in a tough economy. And that's really what this campaign is going to be about.

SCHIEFFER: So I'll begin by asking both of you this question, and I'll ask you to answer first, Senator Obama. Why would the country be better off if your running mate became president rather than his running mate?

MCCAIN:

Well, Americans have gotten to know Sarah Palin. They know that she's a role model to women and other -- and reformers all over America. She's a reformer. She is -- she took on a governor who was a member of her own party when she ran for governor. When she was the head of their energy and natural resources board, she saw corruption, she resigned and said, "This can't go on."

She's given money back to the taxpayers. She's cut the size of government. She negotiated with the oil companies and faced them down, a $40 billion pipeline of natural gas that's going to relieve the energy needs of the United -- of what they call the lower 48.

She's a reformer through and through. And it's time we had that bresh of freth air (sic) -- breath of fresh air coming into our nation's capital and sweep out the old-boy network and the cronyism that's been so much a part of it that I've fought against for all these years.

She'll be my partner. She understands reform. And, by the way, she also understands special-needs families. She understands that autism is on the rise, that we've got to find out what's causing it, and we've got to reach out to these families, and help them, and give them the help they need as they raise these very special needs children.

She understands that better than almost any American that I know. I'm proud of her.

And she has ignited our party and people all over America that have never been involved in the political process. And I can't tell how proud I am of her and her family.

Her husband's a pretty tough guy, by the way, too.

SCHIEFFER: Let's go to -- let's go to a new topic. We're running a little behind. Let's talk about energy and climate control.

MCCAIN:

Well, you know, I admire so much Senator Obama's eloquence. And you really have to pay attention to words. He said, we will look at offshore drilling. Did you get that? Look at. We can offshore drill now. We've got to do it now. We will reduce the cost of a barrel of oil because we show the world that we have a supply of our own. It's doable. The technology is there and we have to drill now.

I have fought against -- well, one of them would be the marketing assistance program. Another one would be a number of subsidies for ethanol.

I oppose subsidies for ethanol because I thought it distorted the market and created inflation; Senator Obama supported those subsidies.

I would eliminate the tariff on imported sugarcane-based ethanol from Brazil.

I know how to save billions. I saved the taxpayer $6.8 billion by fighting a deal for a couple of years, as you might recall, that was a sweetheart deal between an aircraft manufacturer, DOD, and people ended up in jail.

But I would fight for a line-item veto, and I would certainly veto every earmark pork-barrel bill. Senator Obama has asked for nearly $1 billion in pork-barrel earmark projects...

Now, on the subject of free trade agreements.

MCCAIN:

I am a free trader. And I need -- we need to have education and training programs for displaced workers that work, going to our community colleges.

But let me give you another example of a free trade agreement that Senator Obama opposes. Right now, because of previous agreements, some made by President Clinton, the goods and products that we send to Colombia, which is our largest agricultural importer of our products, is -- there's a billion dollars that we -- our businesses have paid so far in order to get our goods in there.

Because of previous agreements, their goods and products come into our country for free. So Senator Obama, who has never traveled south of our border, opposes the Colombia Free Trade Agreement. The same country that's helping us try to stop the flow of drugs into our country that's killing young Americans.

And also the country that just freed three Americans that will help us create jobs in America because they will be a market for our goods and products without having to pay -- without us having to pay the billions of dollars -- the billion dollars and more that we've already paid.

Free trade with Colombia is something that's a no-brainer. But maybe you ought to travel down there and visit them and maybe you could understand it a lot better.

Well, let me just say that that this is -- he -- Senator Obama doesn't want a free trade agreement with our best ally in the region but wants to sit down across the table without precondition to -- with Hugo Chavez, the guy who has been helping FARC, the terrorist organization.

Free trade between ourselves and Colombia, I just recited to you the benefits of concluding that agreement, a billion dollars of American dollars that could have gone to creating jobs and businesses in the United States, opening up those markets.

So I don't -- I don't think there's any doubt that Senator Obama wants to restrict trade and he wants to raise taxes. And the last president of the United States that tried that was Herbert Hoover, and we went from a deep recession into a depression.

There were some other topic, but all in all McCain did GREAT and Obama left very ticked I am sure of it. The media can say what they want about the debate but McCain won this one hands down in a big way.

McCain mentioned Ayers, he mentioned Acorn, he mentioned Infanticide...all without sounding angry. Good performance. Senator Government will stick...same with Joe the Plummer, same with “you should have ran 4 years ago”....great lines.

Obama tends to say “...But the important thing is...” and then change or alter the subject. It’s a way to trivialize what was being discussed.

He also LOVES Alinsky’s focus on ALWAYS USE RIDICULE. His sarcastic smiles and laughter, his mocking, superior tone... Put the other guy down. It ALWAYS gives you a nice gang of scaredy-cat followers who are just glad it’s not them you are mocking.

Did anyone else notice Obama sipping water (bad sign) and looking at the moderator, basically IMPLORING HIM to cut McCain off?

Obama is downright dangerous - And even more so with a Pelosi House and Reid Senate.

I started laughing when McCain called him “Senator Government”. DEFEAT SENATOR GOVERNMENT!!!

Barack and Michelle Obama's Socialist Plans For America

American Thinker ...for complete article

For conservatives opposed to an Obama presidency, the last few days have brought the wonder of the smoking gun: Obama really was a socialist. Combine that hidden paper trail with his Ayers affiliation, and it's reasonable to believe that Obama still holds these socialist political views.

~ snipet ~
In order to stir ordinary Americans to the sense of outrage those of us in the blogosphere feel, we need to remind them that socialism is not simply a more liberal version of ordinary American politics. It is, instead, its own animal, and a very feral, dangerous animal indeed.

~ snnipet ~

My favorite example is always Nazi Germany because so many people forget that it was a socialist dictatorship. Or perhaps they're ignorant of the fact that the Nazi's official and frequently forgotten name was the National Socialist German Worker's Party. In other words, while most people consider the Nazi party to be a totalitarian ideology arising from the right, it was, in fact, a totalitarian party arising from the left.

Practically within minutes of the Nazi takeover of the German government, individuals were subordinated to the state. Even industries that remained privately owned (and there were many, as opponents of the Nazis = socialist theory like to point out), were allowed to do so only if their owners bent their efforts to the benefit of the state. Show a hint of individualism, and an unwillingness to cooperate, and you'd swiftly find yourself in Dachau, with a government operative sitting in that executive chair you once owned.

We all know what life was like in this Nazi socialist state. Citizens immediately lost the right to bear arms; thought crimes were punished with imprisonment and death; children were indoctrinated into giving their allegiance to the state, not the family; the government dictated the way in which people could live their day-to-day lives; and people who appeared to be outliers to the harmony of the conscienceless government entity people were dehumanized and eventually slaughtered.

And here's something important for you to realize as you think about what happened in that socialist state. While a core group of people, Hitler included, undoubtedly envisioned these extremes as their initial goals, most didn't. They just thought that, after the utter chaos of the 1920s (especially the economic chaos), the socialists would calm the economy (which they did), and simply remove from people the painful obligation of having to make their way in the world. It was only incrementally that the average German bought into the ever-more-extreme demands of the state - and those who didn't buy in were coerced because of the state's unfettered willingness to use its vast, brute power to subordinate individuals to its demand.

~ snipet~

Regardless of Obama’s presumed good intentions, socialism always brings a society to a bad ending. I don’t want to believe that Americans who live in a free society that allows people to think what they will, do what they want, and succeed if they can, will willingly hand themselves over to the socialist ideology. They must therefore be reminded, again and again and again, that socialism isn’t just another political party; it’s the death knell to freedom. So remember, while McCain wants to change DC, Obama wants to change America.

Wild Thing's comment.......

The article is excellent and just too long to put here. If you have the time it is well worth reading.

We are getting down to the wire now in this election and there are still too many people that either are not listening or don't understand how dangerous Obama is for our country.

America is so wonderful and imo this election is the most important one in my lifetime.

Gov. Sarah Palin Had 3 Rallies In N.H.

Republican vice presidential nominee, Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, speaks at a campaign rally at the Dover High School in Dover, N.H., Wednesday, Oct. 15, 2008

DOVER, N.H. - Republican vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin said Wednesday she feels a kinship with the moose-hunting, tax-hating voters of New Hampshire who gave John McCain his first primary victory.

At the first of three rallies, the Alaska governor said New Hampshire's state motto, "Live Free or Die," would be a good motto for her state.

"You're a lot like the people of Alaska. We all love good moose hunting, I know that. We both so enjoy our great lands, with clean water, fresh air and abundant wildlife and good fishing. We love being outdoors, and I know that is New Hampshire also," she said. "And we both take seriously your state's motto _ I think it should be ours also _ "Live Free or Die."

Alaska's state motto is "North to the Future."

The two states are the only two with neither a general income nor a general sales tax, and Palin played up that history in repeating her argument that Democratic nominee Barack Obama would raise taxes.

The rallies all had a huge turnout similar to what we have been seeing. Fantastic!!!

Sarah Palin Gets GREAT Repsonse In Gaffe Machine Biden's OLD Hometown Scranton

Sea of red to greet Palin in Scranton

Times Leader.com

Pennsylvania

An e-mail sent from the McCain-Palin campaign urges those attending to wear red to the rally.

“We want to flood the venue with red to show our strength and determination to turn Pennsylvania red on Nov. 4,” the e-mail stated.

Red is the color used by political pundits to depict which states are Republican and blue is used to designate Democratic areas.

Carol Oleski, director of the Scranton office of Democrats for McCain, said the level of enthusiasm building up to Palin’s arrival is “unbelievable.”

“Absolutely, we will all be wearing red,” Oleski said. “We were told 10,000 tickets would be available for the event and they are going out fast. I expect a majority, if not all of them, will go.”

The Riverfront Sports Complex, depending on how it is configured, could hold up to 12,000 people.

Oleski said people from all areas have been calling for tickets. She said requests have come in from New York, New Jersey, Pottstown, Allentown and even California.

“Some people are actually flying in for this event,” Oleski said. “Most of the ticket requests have come from surrounding counties, but I expect a lot of people from out of the area to be here.”

Oleski said Palin’s visit has excited the volunteers in the office who she said have long awaited the Alaska governor’s arrival.

“We are all glad that Gov. Palin is giving this area the opportunity to see and hear her,” Oleski said. “We feel this area is extremely critical to the outcome of this election.”

Doors to the Palin rally open at 11 a.m. It is unknown exactly what time Palin will address the crowd.

Staunch Hillary Clinton supporter Lynette Long, a Bethesda, Md. psychologist, addressed a group at the Scranton office of Democrats for McCain on Monday.

Long, a vocal opponent of the Democratic caucus process that resulted in the nomination of Illinois Sen. Barack Obama, has become an avid supporter of the McCain-Palin ticket.

Long believes the efforts produced invalid results in the caucus states and the nomination of Obama as the Democratic candidate for the presidency is “against the will of the people.”

Long has now endorsed the McCain-Palin ticket.

For those that may not know Katies place has been closed for something like 15 years. LOL Biden is a total idiot.

Governor Sarah Palin took the McCain-Palin campaign into Sen. Joe Biden’s childhood city, pulling out all the stops at a rally in Scranton, Pennsylvania .

Scranton is Biden’s hometown and Sen. Clinton has roots there as well.

Just before Palin took the state at the indoor recreation center, the lights were dimmed and red, white and blue spotlights pulsated through the arena. Queen’s “We will Rock You” blared for a few minutes and then Palin entered to the “Rocky” theme. But there was more. Palin had a surprise guest. Country legend Lee Greenwood was in the house. After singing the Star Spangled Banner he launched into his hit “Proud to be an American”, drawing huge cheers and a few tear-filled eyes.

..3 VIDEO'S OF LEE GREENWOOD SINGING AND EVERYONE JOINING IN!!!! AWESOME!!!!

Lee Greenwood sings National Anthem Rally

Lee Greenwood God Bless the USA

Palin said, “Joe Biden had said that there’s no such thing as clean coal when we talked about clean-coal technology that’s needed.” The crowd booed. “Biden also has called environmentally friendly offshore drilling, he’s called it raping the outer continental shelf,” she said to more boos.

The crowd size was double of the crowd that showed up for Biden, Clintons rally.

Sarah Palin's campaigning is infused with contagious joy

From Hugh Hewitt.com

I'm watching Sarah Palin address a campaign rally in Scranton, Pennsylvania, live on Fox News, and I can't recall ever seeing a GOP rally like this. The crowd is genuinely pumped, which is rare enough. But what's genuinely amazing is watching and listening to Gov. Palin. I can't recall ever seeing a politician who so clearly relishes campaigning. She's animated and enthused. I know she's speaking from a teleprompter, and she's probably delivered large chunks of this same speech before many times, but she's tuned in on every line.

She is simply infused with joy. And it flows off the stage, and it's picked up quite powerfully by the TV cameras.

On his best occasions, Reagan had this same quality, but it was more muted, more of a twinkle from behind his carefully maintained stage presence. With Gov. Palin, it's nearly continuous and much more obvious. And I think that's a big part of why she inspires the same harsh counter-reactions from political opponents that Reagan did — the same desperate need to ridicule and belittle, to delegitimize. (You'll see it in the comments to this post within minutes after it goes up, of course.) She has to be shouted down and scorned, because if people are allowed to listen to her, that damned joy might turn out to be ... contagious!

It's a quality that was almost entirely missing from the speeches of, for example, Hillary Clinton, who turned every speech into a siege and whose grim purpose was impressive but slightly scary. Bubba, however, could work himself into joy at the drop of a hat.

Sarah Palin is just haviing a grand old time. If she's afraid of looking foolish, or of her elitist critics, or of her ticket's chances on November 4th, then she's entirely suppressed those fears. I freely admit that with me as a listener, and probably most of the folks at this rally, she's preaching to the choir. But so, too, are lots of politicians, in most of their speeches. And they just don't come across with this same zest.

Wild Thing's comment.........

This is in contrast to the "big gun" rally on Sunday with Hillary, Biden, Bill, etc. that had 3000 people in the same venue IN BIDEN'S HOMETOWN!!!!

Sarah doubled the crowd size from what I have read.

Sarah Palin was also on the Rush Limbaugh show yesterday.

Actor Robert Duvall Blasts Palin Critics

Actor Duvall Blasts Palin Critics

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/3032619/vp/27183176#27183176

ABC News' Imtiyaz Delawala Reports: Introducing Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin at a GOP fundraiser Monday, actor Robert Duvall blasted conservatives who have criticized the McCain-Palin ticket in recent days, calling conservative columnist George Will a "super-nerd" and former Wisconsin governor Tommy Thompson a "block of wood".

At an RNC fundraiser in McLean, VA, Duvall introduced Palin for the third time since her nomination to the Republican ticket, taking the opportunity to accuse Republicans critical of the McCain campaign as giving "credence to the other side."

"It bothers me that certain people in the Republican Party are attacking the McCain-Palin ticket, like super-nerd George...What's his name?” Duvall asked, prompting a few attendees to laugh and shout out George Will. “George...George, I can't even think. George Will," Duvall said, referring to the Washington Post columnist who has been critical of Palin.

The legendary actor then attacked former Wisconsin Governor Tommy Thompson, who campaigned with McCain last Friday in La Crosse, Wisconsin. Thompson had expressed unhappiness with the McCain campaign in an article that appeared in Sunday's New York Times. Asked if he was happy with Sen. McCain's campaign, Thompson told the paper, "No," adding, "I don't know who is."

"Tommy Thompson of uh, that original block of wood, from Wisconsin," Duvall responded at the fundraiser. "He attacked the team today. I mean, that's like being, instead of Monday morning quarterbacking, it’s during the game. It's Friday and Saturday night quarterbacking. It's like giving credence to the other side.”

The rhetoric was a departure from recent days, where Palin has toned down her criticism of Democratic presidential nominee Sen. Barack Obama. Duvall used no such caution in his remarks, saying of Obama, "we gotta keep this guy out of the White House."

Duvall then introduced Palin, who quickly thanked him "for that very kind introduction"

Wild Thing's comment..........

Duvall is right LOL Tommy Thompson is indeed a block of wood. Duvall did good and he also introduced Sarah at the New Mexico Rally that I posted about.

Gov.Sarah Palin and Our National Security

Alaska is the first line of defense in our missile interceptor defense system. The 49th Missile Defense Battalion of the Alaska National Guard is the unit that protects the entire nation from ballistic missile attacks. It’s on permanent active duty, unlike other Guard units.

As governor of Alaska, Palin is briefed on highly classified military issues, homeland security, and counterterrorism. Her exposure to classified material may rival even Biden's.

She's also the commander in chief of the Alaska State Defense Force (ASDF), a federally recognized militia incorporated into Homeland Security's counterterrorism plans.

Palin is privy to military and intelligence secrets that are vital to the entire country's defense. Given Alaska's proximity to Russia, she may have security clearances we don't even know about.

According to the Washington Post, she first met with McCain in February, but nobody ever found out. This is a woman used to keeping secrets.

She can be entrusted with our national security, because she already is.

A Powerful Story About Sarah Palin - A Must See

Paying Special Attention to Special Needs (NBC news Sarah Palin story)

PLEASE CLICK THIS LINK TO SEE THE VIDEO...........

All along the campaign trail, children and adults with Down syndrome have been drawn to Gov. Sarah Palin's openness in how she deals with being a parent of a special needs child.

Wild Thing's comment........

This is a special story and it shows that every life is important and has a positive impact on all our lives... I love it.

I truly believe Sarah was called for such a time as this. Yes our country is on the verge of saying no to Sarah and picking socialism. but in my heart I believe with all I am that in the end, on Nov. 4th. This country will pick Sarah in an overwhelming way.

Not all of us are called regarding the polls and not all of us take polls ( on the phone or online or through the mail) , and we all know how most of the polls are fixed either by the wording or the ones online that can easily be fixed. Polls on this mean nothnig.

The crowds turning out for Sarah are enormous and loving and enthuastic for Sarah and what she brings, the America we all love and she loves too.

I believe that God has prepared Sarah to help lead our country in the right direction. I don’t think that it is a coincidence that Trig was born at this particular time. Our trials are allowed by God to make us stronger. Sarah is exactly what this country needs for inspiration. She does not hide her light under a bushel.

And Cindy McCain too, she encourages people to give of their own time and resources and leads by example. That’s in stark contrast to the liberal view on helping others by just taking other people’s money and wasting it on programs that don’t work or help anyone in the long run.

Clinton Supporters Attend Special Fund Raiser For Republican Ticket

Clinton Supporters Aid Palin

McCain/Palin Campaign website

Gov. Sarah Palin met with a group of Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton’s former supporters Tuesday evening at a special fund-raising reception organized for them on behalf of the Republican ticket.

The reception, which organizers said brought in more than $500,000, was part of an extended evening of fund-raising for Ms. Palin and Senator John McCain’s presidential campaign at the Grand Hyatt in New York that officials estimated raised more than $8 million.

Ms. Palin, along with her husband, Todd, mingled and posed for pictures with the group of about 20, before appearing at the larger finance event, which McCain campaign officials said was the last time Mr. McCain would personally appear at a fund-raiser before the election. It was also the first time the pair had appeared together for donors.

More than 1,000 people paid $1,000 each for tickets to the main fund-raiser.

Nearly 250 people who contributed $25,000 got dinner beforehand with Mr. McCain.

The reception for former Clinton supporters, which also was attended by Rick Davis, the McCain campaign manager, was spearheaded by Lady Lynn Forester de Rothschild, a former telecommunications entrepreneur and “Hillraiser” who brought in more than $100,000 for Mrs. Clinton’s campaign; Calvin Fayard, also a former Hillraiser and longtime Democratic donor from Louisiana, and Miguel Lausell, a former senior political adviser to the Clinton campaign from Puerto Rico.

Other prominent former Clinton supporters in attendance included John Coale, a former Hillraiser, Washington lawyer and husband of Fox News television host Greta Van Susteren.

Everyone at the reception contributed $28,500 to McCain-Palin Victory 2008, a joint fund-raising committee for the Republican National Committee and several state Republican parties.

While Mrs. Clinton has implored her former supporters to back Senator Barack Obama, some still harbor ill will towards him, organizers said.

Wild Thing's comment..........

This has got to burn some Dems hearing about this dinner. LOL

I wonder how many out of those 18,000,000 voters are PUMA. The media keeps trying to tell us that the Hillary voters for McCain are just a myth. Well these people put out a lot of money to be there so, so much for the myth.

Shaking Things Up With Sarah Palin: "Are You Ready?"

Barack Hussein Obama Indoctrination In School Books

This is from the mother of a Racine Unified School District 8th grader.

"My 8th grade son is in an advanced English class at a public middle school here in Racine, Wisconsin. I just found out that my son's new (copyright 2008) Wisconsin - McDougal Littell Literature book has 15 pages covering Barack Obama.

I was shocked - No John McCain, no Hillary Clinton, no George Bush - Just Barack Obama. I'm wondering how it is that Obama's story gets put into an 8th grade literature book? It would be one thing, if it was just the tidbit about his boyhood days, but 15 pages, and they talk about his "Life of Service". Honestly, what has Obama really done to be included in this book? Not only that, but on page 847 there is a photo of Obama at the 2004 Democratic Convention with at least 8 Obama signs in the background! Front & center is an www.obama2004.com sign.

Now I understand that many teachers are liberals, but does the school have the right to shove Obama down our kid's throats? All the kids grouped together and read the story. After that, they discussed it... I guess it appears that Obama is planning ahead. If he doesn't get his coveted Presidency, Obama is going to make sure, that the younger generations know all about him, and his "life of service".

If you would like to see the 15 page story on Obama, it appears that you can order this book online. There is a note in the book that says, For more on Barack Obama, visit the Literature Center at www.ClassZone.com The book is: Wisconsin - 8th grade - McDougal Littell Literature - copyright 2008. The Obama story starts on page 830. I hope you will take the time to look at this book. I'm really angry about this - In fact, I would love to rip the pages right out of this book.

By the way, you might find this interesting: I did a little checking on McDougal Littell, and it appears that MCDOUGAL, ALFRED L CHICAGO , IL 60611 - N/A/RETIRED has been making contributions to Barack Obama's campaign!

I found that information on this website.

Now I'm not an expert at these things (just a PTA mom), but It looks to me like Alfred McDougal is connected to McDougal Littell the same company that publishes the 8th grade textbook that has 15 pages on Obama. Like I said, I'm not an expert, but I'm sure you have someone who can delve into the dirty little details.

I guess my question is: Is it ethical for an Obama supporter to publish an educational book which has a 15 page Barrack Obama story in it? If the tax payers are paying for these books, why is it okay for McDougal Littell to promote Obama? This really bothers me. I would have no problem with it, if Obama had actually done something important. Why is Obama being put up on a pedestal, before he actually wins the pedestal? All I can say, is we can thank the liberal media, and now the liberal book publishers. Thanks to them, I'm sure there are probably thousands of these books all across the United States."

Sarah Palin Sweetly Serves Cider At Farmers Market

Video shows footage of Gov Palin serving state troopers cider before herself.

Sarah Palin's motorcade followed Ohio Route 7 to Ohio Route 60 and then went back through downtown Marietta Sunday afternoon to get onto I-77.

Gov. Palin spent about 15 minutes meeting local residents at L.E. Huck & Sons Farm Market off Ohio Route 60.

Wild Thing's comment...........

This was on Sunday the 12th, I had read the article but they finally put it on a video so I could show you.

Footage like this is TORTURE to Sarah-haters!!! It is so genuine, sincere and inspirational. No amount of spinning can make Sarah look bad and any attempt by her critics to do so will just reflect negatively on them. Keep on smiling Sarah!!!

Obvious the DNC Does Not Believe in Vetting Their Presidential Candidate Obama

Obama might say about this photo......"That's not the me I knew"

Obama website lies about ACORN ties

Campaign tries to distance senator from group convicted of voter fraud

wnd ...for complete article

By Aaron Klein

Sen. Barack Obama's campaign is misleading the public regarding the presidential candidate's ties to a radical leftist organization that has admitted to major financial improprieties and has been convicted in numerous, massive voter fraud scandals.

Sen. John McCain’s presidential campaign Friday stepped up its efforts to draw attention to Obama's alleged relationship with ACORN, or the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now, holding a conference call in which McCain spokesman Rick Davis accused Obama of making "very inconsistent remarks about what his relationship with this organization is."

In response to the increased focus on ACORN, the Obama campaign last week claimed on its "Fight the Smears" website the presidential candidate was "never an ACORN community organizer; ACORN never hired Obama as a trainer, organizer, or any type of employee; ACORN was not part of Project Vote, the successful voter registration drive Barack ran in 1992."

But these blanket statements are false and misleading.

In 1992, Obama was director of Project Vote in Chicago, which helped register 150,000 voters on the city's South Side. Obama's successful work was credited in multiple media reports with helping to elect Democratic Senator Carol Moseley Braun.

Obama's campaign claims ACORN was "not part of" Project Vote, but the organization's incorporation papers, obtained by WND, show Project Vote is a trademark name whose parent company is registered at the same New Orleans address in which ACORN and multiple ACORN affiliates are housed.

Obama himself previously connected Project Vote to ACORN.

"I've been fighting alongside ACORN on issues you care about my entire career. Even before I was an elected official, when I ran Project Vote voter registration drives in Illinois, ACORN was smack dab in the middle of it, and we appreciate your work," Obama was quoted on his own campaign website as saying at an ACORN meeting, according to a post by official Obama website blogger Sam Graham-Felsen.

In a misleading statement, Obama's site claims "ACORN never hired Obama as a trainer, organizer, or any type of employee," but it fails to mention Obama was an unpaid ACORN trainer, as WND first reported in August.

Obama has deep ties to ACORN, including with Ayers

Although Obama has been downplaying his relationship with ACORN, the presidential candidate has deep-seated ties to the radical group.

ACORN is very active in Obama's native Chicago, where in 1997, some 200 members attempted to storm a City Hall meeting, resulting in six members being arrested, including Madeleine Talbot, ACORN's Chicago director.

In the early 1990's Talbot invited Obama to help train ACORN activists.

Obama and other Chicago attorneys won a 1995 suit on behalf of ACORN, forcing the state of Illinois to implement the federal "motor-voter" bill.

While Obama served on the board of the Woods Fund, a Chicago nonprofit, it channeled millions of dollars to ACORN and affiliated groups.

Obama actively sought and received the endorsement by ACORN for his local campaigns.

In the Social Policy Journal, Toni Foulkes, a Chicago ACORN leader, documents what he terms Obama's "long service" with ACORN, which he said led many of the organization's members to help in voter campaigns for Obama's early Chicago campaigns.

Foulkes said Obama and ACORN were "old friends."

ACORN endorsed Obama's presidential campaign, an endorsement touted on Obama's official website.

"What it came down to was that Senator Obama is the candidate who best understands and can affect change on the issues ACORN cares about like stopping foreclosures, enacting fair and comprehensive immigration reform, and building stronger and safer communities across America," said ACORN's Maude Hurd of the group's Obama endorsement.

Campaign pays ACORN affiliate

WND reported in August Obama's campaign paid more than $800,000 in services to Citizen Services Inc. (CSI), a nonprofit organization that is an offshoot of ACORN.

'ACORN may skew PA vote,' election integrity in doubt across country

Last Friday former state Supreme Court Justice Sandra Newman, a Republican, said at a news conference she has no confidence in the integrity of the electoral process in Pennsylvania as a result of what she termed the extensive voter registration effort by ACORN.

Group promoting Obama has history of major voter fraud

Intrusive, radical protest tactics

ACORN protests have turned violent, at times as soon as the rallies began. Some protests disrupted Federal Reserve hearings and busted into closed city council meetings.

Wild Thing's comment...........

The problem here is so fundamental: The founding fathers gave us a way to overthrow the government non-violently - by the vote. ACORN has apparently been undermining that basic ability, and that undermines the nation.

....Thank you Mark for sending this to me.

It's not just ACORN It's Obama Tactics and His Campaign As Well!

Hillary Clinton's campaign alleged election fraud and voter intimidation by Obama's campaign. It's not just ACORN!

Clinton campaign's letter to the Nevada State Democratic Party. Here is the original, in .pdf format.

RYAN, PHILLIPS, UTRECHT 5. MACKINNON ATTORNEYS AT LAW ’ Nonlawyer Partner 1133 Connecticut Avenue, N.W. Suite 300 Washington, D.C. 20036 (202) 293-1177 Facsimile (202) 293-3411
January 23, 2008 Jill Derby, Chair Nevada State Democratic Party 1210 South Valley View Road Suite 114 Las Vegas, NV 89102

Dear Chair Derby: I write on behalf of Hillary Clinton for President (”the Committee”) in regard to the January 19, 2008 Nevada Democ-ratic Caucus. The Committee is aware of a letter addressed to you today from the Obama for America campaign requesting an inquiry into the conduct of the caucuses. The Committee shares the Obama campaign’s concern that full participation in the democratic process may have been compromised by the substantial number of irregularities occurring at the caucuses, and we fully support a complete inquiry by the Nevada State Democratic Party (the ”Party”) into all caucus improprieties.

This letter is not intended as a response to the Obama campaign’s letter. However, in the interest of a complete record, and in contrast to the alleged minor procedural problems noted by the Obama campaign, the Committee wishes to bring to your attention information we have received evidencing a premeditated and predesigned plan by the Obama campaign to engage in systematic corruption of the Party’s caucus procedures. Compounding this blatant distortion of the caucus rules was an egregious effort by the Obama campaign to manipulate the voter registration process in its own favor, thereby disenfranchising countless voters. Finally, the Committee has received a vast number of reliable reports of voter suppression and intimidation by the Obama campaign or its allies.

The Committee had 30 phone lines on Saturday to receive calls in its Las Vegas offices. These lines rang continuously from early morning until well after the caucuses concluded with reports from people who were victimized and who observed irregularities. The phone lines were so over-whelmed that many callers resorted to calling individual Committee staff cell phones to report that they could not get through. The Committee also received many similar calls at its national headquarters.

The Committee is confident that any investigation into the conduct of the caucuses will be thorough, fair and in the interest of insuring that future Party caucuses will be as open and democratic as possible.

Systematic Corruption of the Party’s Caucus Procedures The Committee received substantially similar reports of improprieties of such a number as to leave no conclusion but that the Obama campaign and its allies and supporters engaged in a planned effort to subvert the Party’s caucus procedures to its advantage. For example:

þ Preference cards were premarked for Obama.

þ Clinton supporters were denied preference cards on the basis that none were left, while Obama supporters at the same caucus sites were given preference cards.

þ Caucus chairs obviously supporting Obama: o Deliberately miscounted votes to favor Senator Obama. o Deliberately counted unregistered persons as Obama votes. o Deliberately counted young children as Obama votes. o Refused to accept preference cards from Clinton supporters who were at the caucus site by noon on the ground that the cards were not filled out fast enough. o Told Clinton supporters to leave prior to electing delegates.

þ Clinton supporters who arrived late were turned away from the caucus, while late Obama supporters were admitted to the caucus.

Manipulation of the Voter Registration Process Numerous reports received by the Committee demonstrate a concerted effort on the part of the Obama campaign and its supporters to prevent eligible voters supporting a candidate other than Senator Obama from caucusing. The Obama supporters complained of were acting in positions of authority at the caucus sites. Some of these reports are as follows:

þ Obama supporters wrongly informed Clinton supporters that they were not allowed to participate in the caucus if their names were not on the voter rolls. However, Obama supporters whose names did not appear on the voter rolls were permitted to register at the caucus site.

þ Obama supporters falsely informed Clinton supporters that no registration forms were available for them to register to vote at the caucus site.

þ Obama supporters wrongly told Clinton supporters who were attempting to caucus at the wrong precinct that they could not caucus at that site, while simultaneously permitting Obama supporters at the wrong precinct to participate.

þ Obama supporters were allowed to move to the front of the registration and sign-in line.

Voter Suppression and Intimidation The Committee received a substantial number of disturbing reports from voters that they had been subject to harassment, intimidation or efforts to prevent them from voting. Some of the most egregious of these complaints are described below:

þ Voters at at-large caucus sites were informed that those sites were for Obama supporters only.

þ Clinton supporters at at-large caucus sites were told that their managers would be watching them while they caucused.

þ Workers were informed that their supervisors kept lists of Clinton and Obama supporters, and were told that they could not caucus unless their name was on the list of Obama supporters.

þ Many Clinton supporters were threatened with employment termination or other discipline if they caucused for Senator Clinton.

þ Workers were required to sign a pledge card to support Obama if they wanted time off to participate in the caucus. þ Workers at one casino were offered a lavish lunch and permitted to attend and register to vote only if they agree to support Obama.

The complaints summarized above represent only a small sample of the complaints received by the Committee. With respect to each of these complaints and many more, the Committee has the names and phone numbers of those reporting these incidents and the specific precinct numbers where the incidents occurred. Upon request the Committee will share these with the Party with appropriate safeguards to protect these individuals from reprisal. On the whole, these reports show a troubling effort by the Obama campaign and its allies and supporters to advance their own campaign at the expense of the right of all Nevada Democrats to participate in the democratic process in a free, fair and open manner.

Senator Clinton and the Committee are wholly committed to ensuring that every eligible voter has his or her vote cast and counted. There is no place in the American electoral process for the types of voter suppression, intimidation and harassment systematically engaged in by the Obama campaign, its allies and supporters.

Sincerely, /v Lyn Utrecht Counsel Hillary Clinton for President

Wild Thing's comment........

This is all important because it shows the kind of campaign Barack Hussein Obama is running, how the DNC so far has done nothing about this kind of behavior and apparently back it up. And now it is not Hillary running against Obama but McCain/Palin and what is in store for our voting.

We already know how Obama tells bold face liles, how he has no shame in his associations and the more we learn about him he is a Chicago thug and runs his campaign accordingly.

McCain/Palin Rally in Virginia Beach, VA. and Richmond, VA. and N.C.

Hank Williams Jr. may have a new number one fan: Republican vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin.

The country star, who is performing at a campaign event in Virginia for Palin and Sen. John McCain on Monday, got a call on his cell phone from Palin, according to CMT.com.

"Huge fan," Palin said, admitting that she owns all of Williams's albums. The two also bonded over one of their favorite shared pastimes, moose hunting.

"I hunt moose," Palin told him.

"I hunt moose, too," Williams said. "I have a house in Montana."

The Alaska governor promised to hang out with Williams and go moose hunting together after Election Day.

The rally with Sarah Palin was moved from the Arthur Ashe Center, which holds 6,000 to the racetrack complex in Richmond due to the tickets were over 28,000 and the crowd reached 30,000 according to the Washington Post which means it might have been even larger since as we all know the media keeps the number down when reporting the Republican ticket.

Hank Williams Jr arrived at rally with Sarah.

Hank Williams Jr is there to sing the national anthem, before introducing the Republican presidential candidate, Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., and his running mate, Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin Monday, Oct. 13, 2008, during a campaign rally in Virginia Beach Va., held at the Virginia Beach Convention Center.

Sarah’s singing the Anthem along with the crowd...she’s so REAL!

Then he sings another song.......

Hank Williams Jr. song, "McCain-Palin Tradition"

The song rips Dems and summarizes Fannie and Freddie, Obama’s ties to radicals, etc. Should be played as a campaign ad.

The above video has been getting a lot of hits and sometimes does not work. Below is an extra one from another source just in case.

Hank Williams, Jr. ....""Are you ready for some Sarah!" ( he sang it again at the close of the rally)

Sarah:

“We are looking to the future because thats where you find the solutions” - Sarah Palin

Sarah recognizes crowd yelling “ACORN” and adds.............“And there is ANGER about Voter fraud”.........Sarah gets loud applause.
She is a fantastic communicator.

Leading the crowd in “Drill, Baby, Drill!” chant.

Talking up nuclear and coal for energy.

Chiding Biden for saying “There is no clean coal.”

Whether Biden approves or not, she and John McCain will develop clean coal technology, and drill safely for oil resources offshore.

“We will drill, and we will drill now!”

Crowd wild for her.

Now talking about children with special needs.

LOL , She should keep talking. The stock Market is above 9000 now nearing 9100. Update: went over 9100.

Sarah taking about having learned things when faced with having a special needs child.

Every child has something to give the world.

“There is the world’s standards of perfection. Then there are God’s.” Crowd cheers.

Obviously, Sarah is way above Obama's "paygrade. "

“Trig is precios because he is vulnerable...we can learn from Trig...when we hold Trig we don’t feel scared we feel blessed...”

Invoking Ronald Reagan and the forward march of freedom in the world.

Defends the Second Amendment by name. Crowd cheers!

“We believe in the promise of America.”

“America is not something to apologize for. America is not the problem. America is the solution.”

MCCain is here in Wilmington NC

McCain had 16,000 at his speech (according to Fox)

Republican presidential candidate, Sen. John McCain, second from left, flanked by his wife, Cindy McCain, left, his vice presidential running mate, Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, second from right, and her husband, Todd Palin, right, addresses their supporters during a campaign rally at the Virginia Beach Convention Center in Virginia Beach, Va., on Monday, Oct. 13, 2008.

Imagining a President Obama ~ It’s Like a B Movie Horror Flick

Imagining a President Obama

By Salena Zito

PITTSBURGH TRIBUNE-REVIEW

Most Americans wake every morning to news that Barack Obama will win next month's presidential election. Strategists even say the word "landslide" aloud.

Every poll shows it, every pundit echoes it, and every analyst predicts it -- therefore it must be true, right?

Let's take this political axiom to some of those who do the predicting, to project what America will look like under an Obama administration, governing with a Democrat congressional majority led by House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid.

Beckel says that, in government and politics, the policy pendulum always swings back and forth and, particularly in this economic crisis, "people will want -- and Obama will deliver -- more government involvement."

"They feel more comfortable with that than they do with a bunch of people on Wall Street," he says.

Beckel sees an Obama appointment of Hillary Clinton to the Supreme Court bench as soon as an opening occurs, and he dismisses the massive move toward industry regulations that some people predict.

One insider, who refuses to predict on the record, says privately that Obama will quickly announce his appointments to the Cabinet positions of state, defense, treasury and attorney general. He believes Obama's Cabinet is shaping up to look like this: retiring U.S. Sen. Chuck Hagel, R-Neb., as defense secretary; Massachusetts Democrat Gov. Deval Patrick as attorney general; New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg, a political independent, at treasury; Susan Rice as national security adviser; Sen. John Kerry, D-Mass., as secretary of state.

Mark Siegel, a former Democratic National Committee executive director, says Obama will want to make it immediately clear to America and to the world that "there's a new sheriff in town." He expects Obama to make that point dramatically by issuing several executive orders.

Siegel says you will see Obama immediately suspend all pending judicial nominations, close Guantanamo, then reassure the world that he will never permit torture.

Also look for a doubling of the Peace Corps, a brand-new Volunteer Youth Network, an expansion of U.S. assistance for "Teach for America," and a reduction of interest rates on student loans, Siegel predicts.

What a difference four short years makes, says Brian Darling, a congressional analyst for The Heritage Foundation.

Darling predicts Obama's tax policy will have an immediate effect on small businesses and result in many individuals seeing their marginal tax rate double. Any Supreme Court retirements would dramatically change the direction of American jurisprudence. And he warns that the push for new regulations is the wrong reaction to problems on Wall Street.

"We need more capitalism, not less. Telecommunications has thrived without regulations, and our economy should make sure that politicians in Washington do not try to regulate and tax our way out of the current economic downturn."

University of Arkansas political scientist Bob Maranto says the Illinois senator is a pragmatist tactically: "Obama knows that if you try to impose things like racial quotas and gay marriage, that would not be a vote-winner. But if you appoint federal judges who impose those policies, you can evade responsibility."

Maranto suspects those are the judges Obama would appoint.

He warns that Obama is no fool. "Socialism is dead, and Barack Obama knows it," he explains. "He would, however, favor a very strong government hand in regulating the economy, both because he believes that government knows best and because that means more subsidies and jobs to hand out to supporters, and more votes and PAC contributions to get in return."

All four men agree that if Obama becomes president with Congress sharing his beliefs, then "change" is definite -- but not infinite.

The degree of success or enforcement, they say, depends on how far the press and the next midterm election will allow the new president and Congress to go.

Wild Thing's comment..........

I really believe Obama Presidency will be a nightmare we need to fight happening. It would hit blogs and conservative forums as some of it's first targets imo and also conservative talk shows. Welcome to Socialism and communisim Obama style.

Surprise Pumpkin Picker Piper Palin and Sarah Palin At The Way Fruit Farm

Palin mingles with crowd in unexpected visit to Way Fruit Farm

Centre Daily Times

The Way Fruit Farm Fall Festival had a surprise pumpkin picker Saturday: Sarah Palin.

STORMSTOWN

The Way Fruit Farm Fall Festival had a surprise pumpkin picker Saturday: Republican vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin.

Palin made the unannounced visit with her youngest daughter, Piper, on her way from a rally in Johnstown to the University Park Airport, where her plane was taking off for Philadelphia.

The visit was kept secret until seconds before John McCain’s “Straight Talk Express” bus rolled up and caught festivalgoers completely off guard.

“I saw the bus come up, took a picture of it,” said State College resident Ty Arbutiski, who had come with his wife and kids to the festival. “The kids were still out petting the bunnies. I said, ‘I’m going to go see if they’re stopping,’ ran up here and sure enough they did stop.”

“I yelled to her, ‘She rocks,’ she waved to me and said ‘Thank you,’ and came over and shook my hand. So I’m a happy guy. I may never wash it again.”

Even Way Fruit Farm’s owner, Brooks Way, and the press had little advance notice.

Sarah and Piper Palin spent a few minutes picking pumpkins with Bellefonte Elementary School student Max Theuer, who Palin grabbed from the crowd while greeting people.

“I said, ‘OK, I’ll help,’ ” Max, 9, said. “I just pointed to a pumpkin.”

Max picked out a plump, round pumpkin that Piper apparently wasn’t satisfied with. After Piper whispered to her mother, Palin said: “An even bigger one? Piper!”

They ended up with two pumpkins, one for Piper and one for Max, before Palin greeted some in the crowd and then left.

“She asked, ‘Would you like a pumpkin?’ ” Max said, who added that he “was kind of excited” about the experience.

“We were floored that she was so down to earth,” said Mike Theuer, Max’s father. “She paid literally out of her pocket.”

Palin spent about 15 minutes at the festival before leaving for the airport. She was scheduled to drop the puck Saturday night at the Philadelphia Flyers game.

“I introduced her to my mom and dad,” Brooks Way said. “They are fourth generation farmers. I’m fifth. My daughter Megan is sixth and my grandchildren Emma and Katie are seventh. She was impressed with that.”

Brooks Way said he doesn’t like to be political because that alienates him from 50 percent of people, and didn’t say if he was a McCain-Palin supporter.

“I am a Republican, yes,” he said. “I have not decided. But it’s changing today. Have you noticed, there’s no signs for either candidate. It will stay that way.”

The fall festival takes place every year on the second and third Saturdays of October. And on this beautiful sunny fall day, it drew hundreds of people.

“Go get her, governor!” screamed a man in the crowd. “Hey,” Palin said, then waved. “Thank you.”

One mother of five tracked down an agent to tell him that she has a son with Down syndrome, as does Palin.

Palin spent a few seconds with them and others who snapped pictures and shook her hand.

She didn’t field any questions from the press and didn’t make any public comment. This was just a quick, drop-in visit, staff said.

Local Republicans had been pushing for Palin to make an appearance in Centre County on Saturday.

Friday afternoon, Fox Hill Road leading up to the University Park Airport was lined with “McCain-Palin” yard signs, and one local Republican committee insider said it was unclear how they got there, stirring the rumors of a surprise Palin visit.

“We saw her and were like, ‘Oh my gosh, we love her!’ ” said Brenda Webb, who had arrived at the festival just before Palin.

“We’ve been watching her in the debates and everything,” Webb said.

Her daughter, Moriah, and Moriah’s friend, Ashley Reed, got to see in person the woman they’ve been so excited to watch on television, Webb said. “It’s so exciting for them. They’ve been really interested, so it was great for them to actually meet her.”

Wild Thing's comment...........

Sarah is such a great mom and so many of the expressions of Piper you can see Sarah in her. They are so much alike it is just adorable.

Barack Hussein Obama Saying Acorn and Friends To Shapre His Pres. Agenda!

Obama at ACORN meeting: "We are going to be calling all of you in to shape the agenda of my presidency."

And this one too.......

Obama: "An ACORN Doesn't Fall Far From the Tree"

McCain/Palin new ad " ACORN"

McCain/Palin Campaign Memo on ACORN

TO: Interested Parties
RE: Barack Obama & ACORN

DATE: October 10, 2008

McCain Palin website

Today, the McCain campaign outlined the intimate and longstanding relationship between Barack Obama and the Association of Community Organizers for Reform Now (ACORN). Given ACORN’s recent efforts to engage in voter fraud and to disrupt our political system, Obama’s affiliation with this group raises serious questions about his judgment and ability to lead this nation.

As of today, ACORN is under investigation for fraudulent activities in at least 11 key battleground states and accused of wrongdoing in many others. According to election officials across the country, about 50% of ACORN’s voter registrations are fictitious. This week alone, ACORN offices in Nevada were raided by state officials – after the starting lineup of the Dallas Cowboys appeared registered to vote in Las Vegas – and in Connecticut, a seven-year-old child registered to vote as a 27-year-old.

Below is a brief summary of Obama’s connection to the organization. A diagram of connections outlining Obama’s many ties to ACORN can be found here: http://www.gop.com/ObamaAcornTree .

The relationship between Barack Obama and ACORN dates back to the early 1990s, well before the start of his political career. In 1992, Obama directed Project Vote – an arm of ACORN that also encouraged voter registration. Around the same time, Obama began teaching classes for “Future Leaders Identified by ACORN,” and according to an op-ed at the time, Obama continued his community organizing work largely through these classes.

Obama soon moved on from his role as a community organizer and became a trial attorney for ACORN. In 1995, Obama represented ACORN in a lawsuit against the state of Illinois for its supposed failure to implement a federal law designed to make voter registration easier, and thus increasing the likelihood of voter fraud. Obama also joined two well-known boards with strong ties to ACORN – the Woods Fund and the Joyce Foundation. Under Obama’s watch, the Chicago ACORN branch received thousands of dollars in grants from both organizations.

During this year’s Democrat primaries, Obama’s campaign paid $832,000 to Citizens Services, an ACORN-affiliated organization, for get-out-the-vote efforts. Sensing the need to distance itself from the controversial organization, however, Obama’s Federal Election Commission report mischaracterized this work as “staging and lighting.”

Given his longstanding ties to the organization, it is not surprising that Obama accepted the endorsement of ACORN in 2008. In a press release touting the endorsement on his official campaign website, Obama says: “I’ve been fighting alongside ACORN on issues that you care about my entire career.”

Obama’s subsequent failure to disclose the true nature of his relationship with ACORN, however, is very surprising and deeply troubling. His campaign website, which on one page features the aforementioned quote, claims on another page that Obama has no connection to ACORN. This direct contradiction illustrates Obama’s willingness to distort the true facts and seriously calls his judgment into question.

We are hopeful that three actions come from today’s discussion. First, Barack Obama has to be forthright about his relationship with ACORN. Secondly, given their willingness to compromise the voting process in key battleground states across the country, a thorough investigation of ACORN must be conducted before Election Day. Finally, federal funding of ACORN must cease immediately until the full examination has been completed. American taxpayers should not be funding an organization mired in potentially illegal activities.

Wild Thing's comment............

Pure communist garbage Obama is doing. ACORN is a really SCARY bunch of loons! Obama is trying to distance himself from ACORN but this puts the bullseye on Obama.

“According to election officials across the country, about 50% of ACORN’s voter registrations are fictitious.”

WOW!

First, Barack Obama has to be forthright about his relationship with ACORN. Secondly, given their willingness to compromise the voting process in key battleground states across the country, a thorough investigation of ACORN must be conducted before Election Day. Finally, federal funding of ACORN must cease immediately until the full examination has been completed. American taxpayers should not be funding an organization mired in potentially illegal activities.

Well done, Senator McCain.

LOOK AT THIS......... Someone put a ton of work into this and it is the GOP.COM site. yOU CAN MOVE YOUR MOUISE AROUND and click it is loaded with information. AWESOME WORK!

OBAMA'S ACORN EXPOSED PART 2 OF 2

Why is it that DEAD people always vote for Dems? ~ Let's Ask Obama!!

Obama = ACORN

Ballots cast in Houston using dead voters’ names

Texas Watchdog

Thousands on the rolls after death, creating potential for fraud

Woodwick Street was quiet — with a few residents working in their yards and adding to post-storm brush piles at the curb — when Texas Watchdog visited on a recent Saturday to try to find Harris County voter Linda K. Hill.

“I’m sorry, but she passed on two years ago,” said a mustached man wearing a Dallas Cowboys baseball cap and driving a motorized chair down the street. He was Linda Hill’s husband, Henderson Hill Jr.

Linda Kay Hill, a homemaker and Louisiana native, died Aug. 2, 2006, of a heart attack, her husband recalled, and is buried at Houston Memorial Gardens in Pearland. But Harris County voter records indicate she –- or someone using her identity –- cast a ballot in the November election that year. Linda Hill of Woodwick Street voted in person on Election Day, records show.

She is among the more than 4,000 people whose names are listed both on Harris County’s voter rolls and also in a federal database of death records, a Texas Watchdog analysis has found.

And dozens of those people, like Linda Hill, have apparently cast ballots from beyond the grave, records since 2004 show. One expert says the number of deceased names used to cast ballots may be higher than what Texas Watchdog’s analysis found.

Instances of dead voters’ names being used to cast ballots were most frequent in three elections, the November 2004 general election, the November 2006 general election and the March 2008 Democratic primary, the analysis found.

Less than a month away from an election to decide the highest office in the land, some advocates worry that such errors in the voter records open the door for fraud, compromise the integrity of results and lessen voter confidence in the system.

The findings come as the group ACORN, the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now, has faced scrutiny in multiple states for allegedly improper voter registrations — including players for the Dallas Cowboys, not in the Lone Star State, but in Nevada. The group’s Nevada offices were raided by state officials earlier this week.

That’s as officials in at least six states may have improperly removed tens of thousands of voters from the rolls or prevented them from registering, the New York Times reported Wednesday.

“This is subverting the ballot,” said John Fund, a Wall Street Journal columnist and author of Stealing Elections: How Voter Fraud Threatens Our Democracy. “Just like you counterfeit dollars, we take it seriously, if you counterfeit votes we should take it equally seriously, and we should punish people seriously for trying to subvert democracy.”

And 4,000 voters isn’t chump change, even though the figure is a tiny fraction of Harris County’s 1.9 million registered voters.

And here is another one there are thousands of these stories.........................

7-YR.-OLD GETS AN ACORN VOTE

NY Post ...for complete story.

O'jahnae Smith is ready and registered to vote this November.

There's only one problem: She's 7 years old.

The Connecticut girl is 11 years too young - and nobody in her family knows how she ended up on a voter registration form submitted by ACORN, the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now.

"She's registered to vote?" said a surprised Jerome Smith, O'jahnae's teenage brother. "She's too young to vote."

But that didn't stop someone from forging the child's signature on a voter registration card and giving her a fake birth date that upped her age to 27. The family told The Post a drug-addicted relative may have given the bogus card to ACORN.

Wild Thing's comment.........

It must be end times, the dead are arising from their graves and voting....Zombies like Obama's health care plan.

I am so sick of all this voter fraud stuff. People are guilty and should be punished.

Democrats are sure like terrorists, they destroy everything they are a part of.

Its called FRAUD. It ILLEGAL and this criminal group , ACORN, is doing it and has been doing it without much problem throughtout the United States on behalf of Obama for months now.

Look at this .............

ABC Censors Pro-Life Ad Exposing Barack Obama's Pro-Abortion Record

Lifenews.com

by Steven Ertelt
LifeNews.com Editor
October 10, 2008

The ABC television network is coming under fire from a leading pro-life group for censoring a political radio ad that criticizes Barack Obama's pro-abortion voting record. National Right to Life hoped to run the ad during the nationally syndicated Sean Hannity radio program.

The ad asks Obama when he will apologize for calling the group "liars" for pointing out how he misrepresented his votes in the Illinois legislature against bills that would require medical care for babies who survive failed abortions.

Two nonpartisan groups, FactCheck.org and PolitiFact.com have verified NRLC's claims as true -- leading the pro-life group to produce the ad.

On Friday, NRLC received notice from ABC Radio Network that it would not air the ad during Hannity's radio program.

In an email to National Right to Life, ABC Radio Network executives claimed the ad, "while supporting aspects of a Pro-Life position, weighs more heavily toward electioneering."

However, the ad is paid for by the NRLC political action committee, which is allowed to do "electioneering" under federal law.

"ABC's rejection smacks of being a politically motivated gag order," NRLC communications director Derrick Jones told LifeNews.com. "It seems that the pro-Obama leanings of the mainstream media have overflowed into their sales departments as well. To reject a political action committee's ad because they think it is too political, borders on the absurd."

Jones pointed out that, four years ago, the group ran similar radio ads on the ABC network without any censorship from its executives.

"Four years ago, NRL PAC ran electioneering ads supporting George W. Bush. ABC's lame excuse this year fails to hide their true motivation of helping Barack Obama conceal his extreme pro-abortion position from the American public," Jones added.

Douglas Johnson, the legislative director for the group, points to a recent analysis showing the mainstream media have barely touched Barack Obama's abortion position. He calls the ABC rejection of the ad another part of the media campaign for him.

"The ABC gag rule is part of a broader pattern of behavior in which the mainstream news media filter out or distort the extremes of Obama's pro-abortion record," he told LifeNews.com.

He accused the media of not wanting to discuss "his actions to block legislation to protect infants born alive following abortions in Illinois, his commitment to enact the so-called 'Freedom of Choice Act,' which would make partial-birth abortion legal again and nullify all parental notification laws, and his support for requiring taxpayer funding of abortion."

At issue is the bill that Obama opposed that would provide medical care for newborn infants who survive abortions.

Obama says he voted against the bill because it didn't mirror a national version that had language making it neutral on Roe v. Wade -- even though Obama voted for language in committee to make the state legislation conform.

The National Right to Life Committee released documents exposing Obama's misrepresentation and the pro-abortion presidential candidate later accused the group of "lying" in a terse interview.

"We find that, as the NRLC said in a recent statement, Obama voted in committee against the 2003 state bill that was nearly identical to the federal act he says he would have supported," FactCheck indicated after reviewing the documents.

Wild Thing's comment..........

ABC - The All-Barack Channel

ABC is making it clear that they have no intention of adhering to the First Amendment of the Constitution. I would feel no remorse an accusing them of thuggery and promotion of communist principles.

And there is also the part Barack Obama worked so hard to protect, the induced labor which forces an alive preemie to be born too soon to survive without heroic medical attention. That wasn’t a bad thing, to Barack Obama.

And Obama sycophants don’t care!

Obama Trying to Be Dictator Of McCain/Palin Rallies As Obama Complains That Iowa Rally Had "partisan prayer"

Obama says John McCain rally in Iowa marked by partisan prayer

Rev. Arnold Conrad, in delivering an invocation at a rally today for John McCain in Davenport, Iowa, apparently didn’t get the word from the candidate about elevating the tone at such gatherings.

Conrad, who appeared before the crowd before McCain had arrived, offered a prayer that seemed to urge divine intervention to prevent Barack Obama from winning the presidential election — and cast the outcome as a referendum on differing religions.

The Times’ Maeve Reston was at the event, and she passed along the key passage from Conrad’s words:

"I would also pray Lord that your reputation is involved in all that happens between now and November, because there are millions of people around this world praying to their God — whether it’s Hindu, Buddha, Allah — that his [McCain’s] opponent wins for a variety of reasons.

And Lord I pray that you would guard your own reputation, because they’re going to think that their god is bigger than you, if that happens. So I pray that you would step forward and honor your own name in all that happens between now and Election Day.

Oh Lord, we just commit this time to you, move among us, make your presence very well felt as we are gathered here today in Jesus’s name I pray. "

The crowd greeted the prayer with applause.

Wild Thing's comment..........

The latest complaint by Obama’s camp against the McCain campaign is that we are waging “partisan” prayer. How horrible of our side to do such a think.......as.........Partisan prayer!!!!!!!!

I would not have made the same prayer as this Rev. Conrad with the Allah bit in there etc. hahaha But by golly if it offends Obama to find out about a prayer at the rally then so be it , it works for me. LOL

Conrad, who appeared before the crowd before McCain had arrived, offered a prayer that seemed to urge divine intervention to prevent Barack Obama from winning the presidential election...

I have been praying the same thing.

Why I thoguht Obama was supposed to be a Christian according to him, well there was that one time on This Week the Sunday morning show where he messed up OR was it the truth and he said he was a Muslim.
LOL

What in the heck is next, is Obama going to say we can't cheer at a rally, or better yet he probably wiill have no rallies allowed at all for his opponent McCain. Obama sure is trying to take control of the McCain/Palin campaign.

He better know if he , Obama wins, there is a traditional President Prayer breakfast and not the kind of place for a Rev. Wright either.

The article does not tell about this from the rally as well........

When McCain came to hug her ( Sarah Palin ) ... he immdiately shook my hand and following his moment with her, I shook his hand as he grabbed my hand, now for the second time, and I said, "God wants you to know that I'm praying for you, Sir!" He thanked me and kept smiling. I repeated that phrase to him five times. He grabbed my hands and looked right into my eyes and said, "I won't make it without prayer. Sir, Thank You for praying for me, and don't let one day go by that you don't pray for me. I need all the prayers that I can get. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!"

General Patton's Prayer!

Many know the story of General Patton’s prayer for better weather in order to more efficiently kill the Germans in the winter of 1944. Few know of his Christmas Greeting that was issued along with the prayer.

Contrary to popular belief, the prayer was not ordered to be written during the Battle of the Bulge. It was on the 14th of December that General Patton had the famous exchange with Chaplain O’Neill to write a prayer for good weather and to give a copy to each member of the Third Army. The Chaplain mentioned that it’s not a customary practice to pray for clear weather in order to kill fellow men.

Patton’s response was direct, “Chaplain, are you teaching me theology or are you the Chaplain of the Third Army? I want a prayer.”

After working out the logistics, each member of the Third Army (approximately 250,000 at the time) was issued a small card on the 22nd of December, 1944. By this time, the Battle of the Bulge was underway.

On one side of the card was the famous prayer:

Almighty and most merciful Father, we humbly beseech Thee, of Thy great goodness, to restrain these immoderate rains with which we have had to contend. Grant us fair weather for Battle. Graciously hearken to us as soldiers who call upon Thee that, armed with Thy power, we may advance from victory to victory, and crush the oppression and wickedness of our enemies and establish Thy justice among men and nations.
When Patton originally ordered the cards made, some of the General’s men convinced him to include a Christmas greeting for the troops. On the reverse side, the card had a personal message from the General:

To each officer and soldier in the Third United States Army, I wish a Merry Christmas. I have full confidence in your courage, devotion to duty, and skill in battle. May God’s blessing rest upon each of you on this Christmas Day.
G. S. Patton, Jr.
Lieutenant General

Gov. Palin Calls Out Obama On Abortion

Gov. Palin calls out Obama on Abortion

Sarah Palin thrilled a raucous crowd of supporters Saturday in Johnstown.

Her full speech:

“In this same spirit, as defenders of the culture of life, John McCain and I believe in the goodness and potential of every innocent life. I believe the truest measure of any society is how it treats those who are least able to defend and speak for themselves. And who is more vulnerable, or more innocent, than a child?

When I learned that my son Trig would have special needs, I had to prepare my heart for the challenges to come. At first I was scared, and Todd and I had to ask for strength and understanding. But I can tell you a few things I’ve learned already.

Yes, every innocent life matters. Everyone belongs in the circle of protection. Every child has something to contribute to the world, if we give them that chance. There are the world’s standards of perfection … and then there are God’s, and these are the final measure. Every child is beautiful before God, and dear to Him for their own sake.

As for our beautiful baby boy, for Todd and me, he is only more precious because he is vulnerable. In some ways, I think we stand to learn more from him than he does from us. When we hold Trig and care for him, we don’t feel scared anymore. We feel blessed.

It’s hard to think of many issues that could possibly be more important than who is protected in law and who isn’t – who is granted life and who is denied it. So when our opponent, Senator Obama, speaks about questions of life, I listen very carefully.

I listened when he defended his unconditional support for unlimited abortions. He said that a woman shouldn’t have to be – quote – “punished with a baby.” He said that right here in Johnstown –“punished with a baby” – and it’s about time we called him on it. The more I hear from Senator Obama, the more I understand why he is so vague and evasive on the subject. Americans need to see his record for what it is. It’s not negative or mean-spirited to talk to about his record. Whatever party you belong to, there are facts you need to know.

Senator Obama has voted against bills to end partial-birth abortion. In the Illinois Senate, a bipartisan majority passed legislation against that practice. Senator Obama opposed that bill. He voted against it in committee, and voted “present” on the Senate floor. In that legislature, “present” is how you vote when you’re against something, but don’t want to be held to account.

Senator Daniel Patrick Moynihan, a Democrat, described partial-birth abortion as “too close to infanticide.” Barack Obama thinks it’s a constitutional right, but he is wrong.

Most troubling, as a state senator, Barack Obama wouldn’t even stand up for the rights of infants born alive during an abortion. These infants – often babies with special needs – are simply left to die.

In 2002, Congress unanimously passed a federal law to require medical care for those babies who survive an abortion. They’re living, breathing babies, but Senator Obama describes them as “pre-viable.” This merciful law was called the Born Alive Infants Protection Act. Illinois had a version of the same law. Obama voted against it.

Asked about this vote, Senator Obama assured a reporter that he’d have voted “yes” on that bill if it had contained language similar to the federal version of the Born Alive Act. There’s just one little problem with that story: the language of both the state and federal bills was identical.

In short, Senator Obama is a politician who has long since left behind even the middle ground on the issue of life. He has sided with those who won’t even protect a child born alive. And this exposes the emptiness of his promises to move beyond the “old politics.”

In both parties, Americans have many concerns to be weighed in the votes they cast on November fourth. In times like these, with wars and a financial crisis, it’s easy to forget even as deep and abiding a concern as the right to life. And it seems our opponent hopes that you will forget. Like so much else in his agenda, he hopes you won’t notice how radical his ideas and record are until it’s too late.

But let there be no misunderstanding about the stakes.

A vote for Barack Obama is a vote for activist courts that will continue to smother the open and democratic debate we need on this issue, at both the state and federal level. A vote for Barack Obama would give the ultimate power over the issue of life to a politician who has never once done anything to protect the unborn. As Senator Obama told Pastor Rick Warren, it’s above his pay grade.

For a candidate who talks so often about “hope,” he offers no hope at all in meeting this great challenge to the conscience of America. There is a growing consensus in our country that we can overcome narrow partisanship on this issue, and bring all the resources of a generous country to the aid of both women in need and the child waiting to be born. We need more of the compassion and idealism that our opponent’s own party, at its best, once stood for. We need the clarity and conviction of leaders like the late Governor Bob Casey.

He represented a humanity that speaks to all of us – no matter what our party, our background, our faith, or our gender. And no matter your position on this sensitive subject, I hope that spirit will guide you on Election Day. I ask you to vote for McCain-Palin on the November fourth, and help us to bring this country together in the rational discussion of compassion and life.”

Many ticket holders for the campaign rally were shut out when, just before Palin began to speak, local officials decided that the arena could not safely hold any more people.

It is not clear how many were turned away. One official estimated that as many as 2,000 Palin supporters, some of whom had waited for hours, never got inside.

“I’m sure there were a lot of upset people,” said Pat Lape, Johnstown Fire Department deputy chief. “But we have to do what’s safe for everybody.”

The Palin rally drew a huge response, with residents gobbling up thousands of free tickets in Cambria and surrounding counties. More than 4,700 tickets were distributed in Johnstown alone.

The War Memorial has seating for 4,000, with additional standing room on the floor.

Lape estimated that at least 5,000 witnessed the Palin speech.

Wild Thing's comment..........

The GOP had better realize they need larger venues for all Palin rallies. People really want to see and hear her. Consistently creating a situation where people are turned away is not good. People drive a long way, walk a long way from their cars and then stand for hours. I sure hope the GOP wises up asap.

B.Hussein Obama Has NO Intention Of Repudiating Lewis Comments!

McCain calls on Obama to repudiate 'shocking' Lewis comments
CNN

John McCain – who has often praised civil rights icon John Lewis – called a statement by the Georgia congressman Saturday comparing the outbursts at recent Republican rallies to the rhetoric of segregationist George Wallace “a brazen and baseless attack” that is “shocking and beyond the pale.”

Lewis issued his statement after several days of headline-grabbing anger directed at Democratic nominee Barack Obama by some attendees at McCain campaign rallies.

"What I am seeing reminds me too much of another destructive period in American history. Sen. McCain and Gov. [Sarah] Palin are sowing the seeds of hatred and division, and there is no need for this hostility in our political discourse," Lewis said in a statement.

"George Wallace never threw a bomb. He never fired a gun, but he created the climate and the conditions that encouraged vicious attacks against innocent Americans who were simply trying to exercise their constitutional rights. Because of this atmosphere of hate, four little girls were killed on Sunday morning when a church was bombed in Birmingham, Alabama," wrote the Democrat.

McCain has written about Lewis, praising his actions at Selma during the civil rights movement. The Republican nominee even said during a summer faith forum that Lewis was one of three men he would turn to for counsel as president.

But the Arizona senator blasted the congressman’s remarks, and called on Obama to repudiate them. "Congressman John Lewis' comments represent a character attack against Governor Sarah Palin and me that is shocking and beyond the pale,” he said in a Saturday afternoon statement released by his campaign.

Barack Hussein Obama's wanna be Dictator response:

Obama's campaign said he did not agree with the comparison made by Lewis — but did not repudiate the congressman's remarks.

“Senator Obama does not believe that John McCain or his policy criticism is in any way comparable to George Wallace or his segregationist policies," said Obama spokesman Bill Burton. "But John Lewis was right to condemn some of the hateful rhetoric that John McCain himself personally rebuked just last night, as well as the baseless and profoundly irresponsible charges from his own running mate that the Democratic nominee for President of the United States ‘pals around with terrorists.’

"As Barack Obama has said himself, the last thing we need from either party is the kind of angry, divisive rhetoric that tears us apart at a time of crisis when we desperately need to come together. That is the kind of campaign Senator Obama will continue to run in the weeks ahead."

Wild Thing's comment........

Good move for McCain. “I condemned the anger, now you condemn the Anti-American remarks” of course Hussein won’t. To the few and I do mean few that still might have a brain cell left they will see what an ass Obama is in his reaction to what McCain said.

But one thing I have to say and Nicholas and I have been talking about this. These people at the McCain/Palin rallies could very well be PLANTS FROM OBAMA'S CAMPAIGN. All it would have taken is an Obama plant or some yay-hoo shouting something offensive for the drive-bys to grab it and run with it.

Barack and Michelle Obama are racist extrodinaire and the omments like Rep. Lewis's are previews of what is to come if the Liberal Messiah is given title to the United States. This will be His country and he mold it in His image. All those who express "hateful" (i.e., dissenting) views will be "re-educated".

Obama put himself into this — first by stating that Ayers was “some guy who lives in my neighborhood”, then acknowledging that they “served on a board together”, then admitting that his first fundraiser was held at the house of Ayers (whose wife, Bernadine Dohrn, was on the FBI Most Wanted List). Now he’s claiming that Ayers has been “rehabilitated”, which is an odd phrase out of Soviet Russia. Rehabilitated just when? Was it on 9/11/2001 when the NY Times published an inteview with Ayers in which he said that he didn’t regret the bombs, only wished he’d done more? Was it after that when Ayers was photographed stomping on an American flag? Was it when Ayers expressed “remorse” - he NEVER has.

Just WHEN Barack Hussein Obama, was this terrorist “rehabilitated” and for what reason? Or don’t you want to talk about it and instead send out your minions (like John Lewis) to shriek “racism” at anyone who dares bring up the subject? If you can’t take the heat on this subject, Senator Obama, then you should never have gone in Ayers’ (and Dohrn’s) kitchen to raise money.

Alinsky's Rules for Radicals , Obama probably sleeps with this.

Here’s the difference between the parties on this topic:

The Democrats want to own the blacks;
The Republicans want to free the blacks.

It’s time to go nuclear on the race issue. You can’t dance around it. You have to say it straight out: Barack Obama has racist friends, has worked for racist organizations.

Mc Cain does not have to raise his voice. He simply must state firmly each fact of each scandal followed by each of Obama’s replies in each of the questionable areas (Those in the Hood both Chicago, Washington, and now Uganda)......and at the end state Obama is a Chicago Politician. His next line After a pregent pause “Acorn, Africa, Ayers.......We haven’t EVEN gotten to the ‘B’s yet!

Barack Hussein Obama Trying To Buy The Election With 30 Minutes Commercial

Obama cannot speak without notes or a teleprompter

Election news

Already advertising at record levels, Barack Obama has scheduled a half-hour commercial for prime time on Oct. 29, six days before Election Day.

Obama campaign officials said the campaign had secured a 30-minute block of time at 8 p.m. on CBS and NBC. CBS already was juggling its lineup to accommodate the Democratic presidential candidate

sneak peak video FOUND HERE

The campaign's move is unusual, but not unprecedented. Right before the 1992 presidential election, Independent candidate Ross Perot's aired a series of 30-minute campaign ads on prime-time TV. More than 16.5 million people tuned in to watch the Republican billionaire's broadcast, according to the Hollywood Reporter.

Wild Thing's comment.........

I wonder if he will have his ugly fake Presidential seal with him when he speaks. Will he be sitting on a throne??
Or .....oh wait .......maybe he have it start with him looking at a fireplace, back turned to the camera as he stokes the fire with a poker. He turns around, with mild surprise, smiles, “Oh, hello! I’m Barack Obama, and it’s wonderful to speak to you tonight.”

There is a laughable thing about this. Barack Hussein Obama has been getting 100 backing and supporting and FREE ADVERTISING from MSNBC, CNN and the rest of the media since he bagn his campaign. And NOW HE WANTS TO PAY FOR IT? ROTFLMAO

Get ready for full-throated socialism in the USA, with Hussein as titular head of state.

Wow that's gonna be a hard half-hour: "Uh, uhhhh, uh, and and and, uhhhhhhhh..." OH wait Obama willl just read his speech. LOL I laugh every time I hear an idiot say he is a good speaker, he is a READER NOT A SPEAKER!

Obama already has his own channel (73) on Dish satellite that's a 24/7 campaign commercial for the Messiah!

This should be at the end of it as the credits roll.... the previous 30 minutes were brought to you by the following friends & neighbors, without who's support this presentation would not have been possible:

Hezbollah
Jamaat-e-Islami
Workers Party of Korea
Hezbe Wahdat
The estate of Abd Al Aziz Al Saud
The Fifth Republic
PLO

Etc etc

....Thank you Lynn for sending this to me.

Cant' Get Security Clearance For Gov.Job? Then Run For President

If you applied for a low or mid-level government job that required a mid-level security clearance, and in your background they found associations with terrorist William Ayres who bombed the Pentagon, with convicted felon Tony Rezko, the racist Reverend Wright and Louis Farrakhan... significant past drug use and a dual US-Kenyan citizenship... simply put, you would not be given that security clearance and you would not get the job.

On the other hand, there would be no problem for you to become President of the United States and be the boss of all of those folks with security clearances. Welcome to 'Theater of the absurd'; welcome to the United States 2008.

Barack Obama Couldn’t Pass a Routine Background Investigation

North Star Writers Group

by Gregory D.Lee

A while back, radio talk show host Michael Savage brought up the notion that Democratic presidential nominee Sen. Barack Obama couldn’t pass a background investigation to become an FBI special agent.

He doesn’t know how right he is.

Sen. Barack Obama wouldn’t pass a routine government background investigation, not only to become an FBI agent, but a police officer as well. If he were a soldier, his background would preclude him from obtaining a security clearance. He wouldn’t even qualify to be a support person in a federal agency, such as secretary, for that matter.His past cocaine usage disqualifies him from being a DEA agent.

There’s another big problem Sen. Obama has: His association and business relationship with Weatherman Underground founder William Ayers, a former domestic terrorist who is still unrepentant for his bombings on U.S. landmarks and police stations. Usually, the company you keep reveals who you really are. Ayers felt then, as he does now, that America is the evil of the world and needs punishing for past and current bad acts. Not many federal agencies would want someone with that kind of chip on his shoulder working for it.

Also, Sen. Obama’s association with Tony Rezko and the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now (ACORN) come to mind. Rezko was just convicted of promoting corruption among Chicago politicians. He helped in the purchase of the senator’s home and was a campaign fundraiser for Obama. ACORN is being investigated by the feds for systematic voter registration fraud. Not good things.

Let’s not forget about Sen. Obama’s pastor and mentor for 20 years, America-hater Rev. Jeremiah Wright. When first questioned about his membership in Wright’s black theology church, Sen. Obama first denied knowing Rev. Wright harbored such negative feelings about the U.S., but after being further pressed, he dismissed the reverend’s conduct as like a “crazy uncle” who lived in the basement. He finally decided that he couldn’t politically afford to stay in the church, and dropped his membership.

To keep job applicants honest, many government agencies such as DEA, FBI, CIA and others require them to take a polygraph examination. Do you think Sen. Obama could pass a polygraph when he approves an ad that mocks Sen. John McCain for being unable to send e-mails without mentioning his poorly mended broken arms while in custody of the North Vietnamese which prevents him from manipulating the computer keyboard? He’s not computer illiterate, he’s handicapped!

Would you want a police officer in your city associating with such people? Not likely. But Obama supporters ignore these associations because they are desperate for a Democrat in the White House.

A federal government full-field background investigation would also look for prior inconsistencies, exaggerations and outright lies on an application for employment.

Wild Thing's comment............

Bill Clinton could not have passed these tests and look at all the horrible things he did as President.

When a person runs for President is used to be to my understand that background checks were done, but that was a long time ago. I guess they just don't care anymore. But this is something McCain/Palin campaign should make an ad about imo.

If Barack Hussein Obama wins he will go down in history as the most successful communist mole ever.

When Nicholas was in the Navy one of the jobs he had to do required him to be cleared for Top Secret Clearance work or however you put that. He said he was investigated all the way back to the womb. haaha They went all the way back to his chilidhood as a small child up through the years of his life to that day. He cleared with no problem but there is no way Obama could pass this in any way.

Obama''s Voters Witch Hunt Directed At Sarah Palin Ends

Alaska Governor Sarah Palin acted "within proper and lawful authority" in removing the state's public safety commissioner, the McCain-Palin Republican presidential ticket has said in response to a state report.

The McCain-Palin statement said, "Today's report shows that the Governor acted within her proper and lawful authority in the reassignment of Walt Monegan."

"This was a partisan led inquiry run by (Barack) Obama supporters and the Palins were completely justified in their concern regarding Trooper (Michael) Wooten given his violent and rogue behaviour," the campaign's statement said. Senator Obama is the Democratic presidential candidate.

"Lacking evidence to support the original Monegan allegation, the Legislative Council seriously overreached, making a tortured argument to find fault without basis in law or fact," the McCain-Palin statement said.

Wild Thing's comment..........

Screw you Obama and your people. Yes I blame Obama for this waste of time and harassment as much as his voters that saw fit to even go afetr Sarah Palin about this.

Sarah is vindicated there is no offense and we KNEW there wouldn't be. What a farce this was, what horrible people. Their deeply partisan opinion that she “abused” her power is a hollow death rattle for their “investigation.”

FEDS Checking Out Sheriff Scott For Saying " Barack HUSSEIN Obama " as Warm Up Speaker

GOP USA.com

Hands up! You're under arrest for saying 'Hussein Obama!'

Fort Myers, FL.

We have seen many changes in this great nation which have been brought about by left wing activists. As kids, we used to say the Pledge of Allegiance. Now, it's being attacked in the courts. We used to say a prayer in the morning before school or at football games. Socialists in America have deemed that "offensive" and the practice has all but disappeared. Christmas displays honoring the birth of Christ trigger convulsions by the Left, who say that we shouldn't make people feel "uncomfortable" with our manger scenes.

Now, we can't even say what we want to say in public because not only will the thought police be on patrol, but, using a recent event in Florida as an example, saying "Hussein Obama" in public might just get you a visit from the FBI. Just ask Florida's Lee County Sheriff Mike Scott who is under fire -- and investigation -- for referring to Obama at a campaign rally by his -- gasp -- full name. What is going on with America?

At a rally in Estero, Florida on Monday for Gov. Sarah Palin, one of the pre-rally speakers was Sheriff Scott. Now, anyone who has been to a political rally knows that the job of the warm-up speakers is to do exactly as the name implies: warm-up the audience. Whether the audience is cheering wildly or booing loudly, the pre-rally speakers are there to wake them up and get them going. So... according to ABC News, Sheriff Scott stepped to the podium and said, "On November 4, let's leave Barack Hussein Obama wondering what happened."

Oh, the shock of it all! Speaking someone's full legal name in public! When asked about the "incident," Sheriff Scott responded by saying:

"I absolutely, unequivocally don’t regret saying it,” Scott told the News-Press on Monday. “In order to be a speaker at this event, I had to give my full name — Michael Joseph Scott — to the Secret Service, even though I’m the sheriff of Lee County. So why would I apologize? Is there some kind of double standard here where I have to give my full name, but I can’t use his?”

“Unless he changed his name, my position hasn’t changed,” said Scott of Obama. “It seems very clear to me that people have one of three stances on this thing: There are those who dislike it, there are those who like it, and there are those who think it’s a whole big deal about nothing, which is where I stand.”

As noted in the Cape Coral Daily Breeze, the Palin campaign responded by issuing the following statement:

“We do not condone this inappropriate rhetoric which distracts from the real questions of judgment, character and experience that voters will base their decisions on this November.”

Fair enough. If Palin or anyone else wants to say the usage of Barack Hussein Obama is inappropriate, he or she has a right to do so. But Sheriff Scott also has a right to say what he wants to say without fear of reprisal by the government. However, according to a local Florida NBC affiliate, Sheriff Scott's remark has now earned him an investigation by the federal government.

The NBC station reports that officials with the U.S. Office of Special Counsel have started an investigation of the Sheriff under the question of "did he use his position as sheriff to influence an election? If so, he could be in violation of a federal election law called the Hatch Act." The basis the Feds are using is whether Scott was campaigning while on duty and in uniform.

Sheriff Scott responded to the NBC story with the following statement:

"I am on duty 24/7 and 365 whether in or out of uniform. Like every other elected official, I am aware of from President to Governor to State Representatives, etc. We engage in political activities whether for ourselves as candidates or for others. As of this writing, I am unaware of having done anything to generate all this attention other than using the senator's full name."

The question is this... If Sheriff Scott had not said "Barack Hussein Obama," do you really think he would now be under investigation? If you answered "no," then that should send a shiver down your spine, because it means that the government is imposing pressure and creating a public example of Scott for simply saying someone's name.

Whether the investigation leads to charges or legal action is not the point. The point is that government intimidation is being brought to bear for someone exercising his first amendment right to free speech. This is wrong, regardless of whether you think his usage of Barack Hussein Obama was appropriate or not. This is still America, isn't it?

Wild Thing's comment...........

Barack Hussein Obama is his name and if Barack does not like his middle name then he could have changed it when he changed his last name a long time ago.
Obama and his campaign behave like some kind of third world dictator. Don't mention his ears he says, don't call him a liberal he has said,don't talk about Ayers, Wright, Rezko he says, and don't use his middle name.

Anyone can see what B. Hussein Obama is doing and as long as people cave in to this jerk Obama, they will be even more sorry IF he wins this election and see the horrors he will do to this country. It will be a lot more then just not letting people use his middle name.

And I have no intention of not using it as long as that is his name. If he doesn't like he can take some of that freaking Bailout Money and go to court and have his name changed.

This is still America the land of the free and a Republic, and we WILL overthrow dictators...... you betcha!

McCain-Palin Rally in Waukesha, WI

"I'm mad! I'm really mad! "When you have Obama, [House Speaker Nancy] Pelosi and the rest of the hooligans up there going to ruin the country, we have to have our head examined!"

"It's time that you two represent the rest of us. So go get 'em!"

The shot heard around the world was just fired!

Americans are finally realizing we are on the verge of losing our country to the Socialists and Communists.

There were shouts of "Nobama" and "Socialist" at the mention of the Democratic presidential nominee.

"It is absolutely vital that you take it to Obama, that you hit him where it hits, there's a soft spot," said James T. Harris, a local radio talk show host, who urged the Republican nominee to use Barack Obama's controversial former pastor, the Rev. Jeremiah A. Wright Jr., and others against him.

"We have the Reverend Wright. We have the Rev. Michael L.Pfleger. We have all of these shady characters that have surrounded him," Harris bellowed. "We have corruption here in Wisconsin and voting across the nation. I am begging you, sir. I am begging you. Take it to him."

The crowd of thousands roared its approval.

"I'm mad! I'm really mad!" another man said." And what's gonig to surprise you it's not the economy. It's the socialists taking over our country!!!!!!"

"Sit down I'm not done. Lemme finish, please," he said after a standing ovation. "When you have Obama, a Pelosi and the rest of the hooligans up there going to run the country, we have to have our head examined.

"It's time that you two represent the rest of us. So go get 'em."

The crowd burst into loud chants of "U-S-A! U-S-A!"

"Senator Obama has a clear radical, far-left, pro-abortion record," McCain said after being asked about the issue.

The answer prompted a shower of boos from the crowd members. They booed again when he mentioned William Ayers, who bombed U.S. facilities to protest the Vietnam War as part of the domestic terrorist group the Weather Underground. They booed again at the mention of Rep. Barney Frank, a liberal from Massachusetts.

"Will you assure us," one woman asked, "that, as president, you will take immediate action to investigate, prosecute and name the names of the people actually responsible?"

"I will," McCain answered. "The same people that are now claiming credit for this rescue are the same ones that were willing co-conspirators in causing this problem that it is," he said, raising his voice to be heard over the crowd. "You know their names. You will know more of their names, Congressman Barney Franks and Senator Chris Dodd are two of them."

"No, I'm not mad, I'm pissed," said Joan Schmitz, who owns a plumbing company here. She said she was frustrated with polls showing Obama surging, Obama himself, the media, and the liberal group ACORN, which she said was registering voters fraudulently.

Noting Obama's connections with Ayers, she said that "if it was a Republican, it would be nonstop," referring to what she said was the media ignoring the controversial acquaintance.

"I can't stand to look at him, I don't trust him. I don't like the circle of friends he keeps, I don't like his policies," Schmitz said of Obama. "I'm pissed off by it. I'm beyond mad. How is he climbing up in the polls?"

On the way into the event, the Republican Party of Wisconsin handed out fliers reading "Your Vote Is Being Stolen," an anti-ACORN leaflet that concluded, "Why is vote fraud allowed? Vote fraud is allowed since it benefits Democrats."

McCain's events are attended by liberal protesters, who often yell epithets and hold angry signs as McCain's bus drives by. And they recalled angry words from Obama at a rally in Las Vegas last month, in which he urged supporters to talk to their friends and neighbors, saying "I want you to argue with them and get in their face", and when Obama also said, “if they bring a knife we’ll bring a gun”.

The Obama camp want us to believe that its all about the economy, we care about the economy and so does the man in the audience that spoke, but to turn our country socialist and the things Obama would do. While the media tries to play this down and act as though Republicans are losing the election and losing their cool, I would like to add that I’m outraged as well. Americans that love their country, will not surrender their freedom nor their children and grandchildren’s futures to socialists. If anyone in the Congress or the mainstream media doubts that the American people are beyond angry, they better think again.

Liberal media is sadly mistaken in their assessment of all of us across this country. Don’t count us out ever. We were born of American pride. Our Uncles, Fathers, husbands, wives, sons and daughters, cousins and frienids didn’t sacrifice and die for us to throw this country and our freedom away to a Muslim Terrorist nor are our troops fighting in Iraq and Afganistan for us to elect a domestic terrorist.

I’m glad that crowd was fired up! It was awesome to watch.

We are united in stopping The One from ever stepping foot in the White House. I think the pollsters are underestimating Republican and Conservative turnout. They think we are staying home. But we will come out in mass numbers, and like John McCains own mother once said, hold our nose and vote for John McCain.

It’s stop B. Hussien Obama and deal with John McCain later.

McCain/Palin Rally in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania

Republican vice presidential running mate, Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, greets Cindy McCain after walking across the tarmac to meet Republican presidential candidate, Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., after arriving in Allentown, Pa., Wednesday, Oct. 8, 2008.

Republican presidential candidate, Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., greets his vice presidential running mate, Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin after arriving in Allentown, Pa., Wednesday, Oct. 8, 2008

John McCain and Sarah Palin arrive at Lehigh Valley International Airport for a Republican campaign rally at Stabler Arena. From left, Palin, McCain's wife Cindy, McCain's daughter Meghan and McCain. (MONICA CABRERA, The Morning Call

A group of well wishers cheered outside the Fed Ex cargo terminal, as McCain’s bus headed away from the airport and through Bethlehem, before stopping at the lighting company Lutron in Upper Saucon Township.

Republican John McCain's Straight Talk Express tour bus rolled into Stabler Arena to the theme from "Rocky" this afternoon and a thunderous cheer from the assembled capacity crowd.

McCain fans roared when his wife Cindy asked how her husband did at last night's debate.

And it sent up raucous cheers of Sarah! Sarah! as Cindy McCain introduced McCain's running mate Sarah Palin.

Sarah Palin said the debate provided voters with a clear choice between two vastly different world views.

"Last night Sen. McCain talked about real pragmatic solutions and Barack Obama talked about why he would rather run against George Bush. That strategy is starting to run pretty darn thin," Palin said.

McCain then took the stage, to chants of "John McCain, John McCain," starting his remarks by focusing on the economy and his new plan to help homeowners struggling with onerous mortgages.

Under the newly-announced McCain plan, called the American Homeownership Resurgence Plan, the government would help homeowners refinance into more manageable payments in order to avoid foreclosures.

"As president, I plan to act quickly and decisively so you can realize the American Dream," McCain said.

Earlier, McCain and Palin's planes arrived within minutes of each other at Lehigh Valley International Airport.

Palin disembarked first, crossing the tarmac to greet McCain as he exited his "Straight Talk Express" jet.

Palin, carrying a tote that read "Real Women Hunt Moose," McCain, and his wife, Cindy, greeted a small group of local dignitaries before boarding a bus to Lehigh University's Stabler Arena.

This morning, thousands of people lined up to wait to see the Republican presidential ticket at Stabler Arena at Lehigh University.

Andrew Allen of Springfield Township and Len Ramirez of Quakertown got to Stabler at 7:30 a.m. They were among the first 50 people or so standing near the front door of the arena.

Allen retired from the Marines last year, he supports McCain's platform on the Iraq War.

"I don't want another 9-11 to happen," he said. "When you go to war you go to win."

Ramirez in in favor of McCain's plan for the economy, especially his plan to buy back bad mortgages.

Both men have tickets for today's event, but arrived early to get good seats.

Four people were already inside at about 11 a.m., among them was volunteer Harry Singh, 70, of Atlanta, Ga., who is a registered Independent. Singh's grandson is a student at Lehigh University and he has other family in the Lehigh Valley.

"I am not a very political person, but the next several years are very important. McCain has got the experience and has faced many challenges. I picked the candidate not the party," Singh said.

LOL this is amazing!!! This is how American citizens so many of us feel , millions of us feel about all that has been happening to our country. Fed up with politicians, fed up with the media being part of the Obama campaign, fed up with Obama and his lies in our face as he smiles and stammers his way through a speech. Fed up with Michelle Obama saying how she is finally proud of America!!!! And fed up with the left, the liberals pushing, shoving and taking over our speech ( Political correctness), their plans for the Fairness Doctrine, stealing from Social Security, not drilling for oil when we have tons of it just for the taking, and so many things and one more huge one.......... their not only lack of support for our troops, but their having signs to kill the officers and baby killer and harassing and destruction at Marine recruiting offices. Sending checks for $600,000 to the terrorists to support them from Code Pink one of the endorsers for Obama. Fed up with Obama's unforgivable comment as he proclaimed that troops in Afghanistan were "air raiding villages and killing civilians." -- Wild Thing

This is what was said by Bill Platt, the Lehigh County Republican Chairman, who talked about Obama's reluctance to wear an American flag lapel pin: "Certainly Barack Obama can learn a thing or two from John McCain about what it means to be a patriot." Then he asked the crowd to work for the Republican ticket: "Think about you'll feel on Nov. 5 if you see the news that Barack Obama, Barack Hussein Obama, is president of the United States."

Palin To Drop Puck At Philadelphia NHL Game

Palin set to drop puck at Philadelphia NHL game

Lebanon, PA news

Sarah Palin's next faceoff will come at center ice at an NHL arena, not at a debate. The GOP vice presidential nominee will drop the ceremonial first puck when the Philadelphia Flyers open the regular season against the New York Rangers on Saturday. Palin, the Alaska governor and self-described "hockey mom," will join the winner of a team promotion for the "Ultimate Hockey Mom" to drop the puck.

Last month, Palin visited a Philadelphia bar with Flyers owner Ed Snider, who has donated money to Republican presidential nominee John McCain's campaign.

"Because of the tremendous amount of publicity she has brought to our sport, we invited the most popular hockey mom in North America to our home opener to help us get our season started," Snider said in a team statement Wednesday. "We are very excited she has accepted our offer and we are very proud of the publicity she is generating for hockey moms and the sport of hockey."

The team will award all hockey moms entered into the contest with a free "puck-er peach" lipstick and four tickets to a hockey game of the Flyers' minor league affiliate, the Philadelphia Phantoms. The winner will appear on the ice with Palin for opening faceoff.

Saturday's game starts at 7 p.m. at the Wachovia Center

Go Lightening!

Wild Thing's comment.........

Oh my gosh I LOVE hockey!! My Dad used to take me to hockey games a lot in Chicago when I was a little girl. It is such an exciting game. When Nicholas and I moved to Florida from Calif. I wacthed the Lightening games on TV.

This is great. I’m sure Biden will be green with envy since he was born in Pa.

Ed Snider voted for Ronald Reagan and from the various things I have read about him he hates communists. haha therefore I guess Obama is not invited. heh heh.

Thank you Darth for telling me about this in your comment.

Notes On Presidential Debate October 7th

Brokaw sounds like he’s half dead! Also Brokaw chose a bunch of horrible questions. The debate was constrained and limited by Tom Brokaw.

I also noticed that Brokaw said John McCain but when talking about Obama said Senator Obama several times. What a total jerk Brokow is. I have never liked him and he just gets worse.

The first answer from Obama ( evil incarnate) and he says it, "the last eight years of Bush." This is his mantra, to blame Bush for everything no matter what.

McCain hammers energy independence , keep taxes low, we need to stop the spending spree in Washington, we need reforms.

Mr. Obamajangles
Obama on his bar stool, looks like Sammy Davis at the Sands.
Only thing missing is a glass of booze and a cigarette.
And an eye patch.--Wild Thing

And then there is Obama's smirking.--WT

Obama, "health care is a right;"

Communist answer from Obama. Hey Idiot Obama Americans have no idea what a right truly is. Now it just means entitlement, thanks to commie's like YOU! The people in this country who want socialism DO NOT DESERVE to be American citizens. Too bad we can’t offer them the choice to strip them of their citizenship and deport them to some nanny state paradise they’ll love.-- Wild Thing

McCain, "health care is a responsibility."

OK here is how a true conservative would have answered, he or she would have done further then McCain's answer. something like this: “Our Founding Fathers specified precisely what our rights are. They are Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness. That’s it. Those are our rights. Everything else we have is a privilege or a responsibility. That includes education, health care, and houses. To live as a free people - free both economically and politically - we dare not inflate the idea of rights to include every good and service that we desire. That habit of entitlement-thinking leads to the welfare state and to socialism, two killers of economic freedom and prosperity.” -- Wild Thing

McCain bringing up Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac — “Obama and his cronies giving loans to people who could not pay it back” — discussing too vaguely what he did to stop it. He’s on the right track but needs to be SPECIFIC and HARD!!

McCain....he's throwing the gauntlet down on Fannie/Freddie, specifically the Democrats. GOOD! He just blamed Obama and his “cronies”, good.

Senator Smirky (Obama) got the 2nd most donations from them of anyone ever! Meanwhile Obama sits there like a dummy and grins while McCain is saying he’s the 2nd greatest beneficiary of graft from Fannie/Freddie.

McCain is setting the real record straight. Still McCain appears to be nervous, but he's laying out how Obama's entitlement over spending programs are outrageous.

Tom Brokow has some make up on. About a gallon and a half I’d guess. LOL!! His face is as smooth and orange as a Muppet's.

Obama makes me sick!

I am so sick of the blame Bush garbage.

Obama bringing up 9/11 when talking about spending. What the hell????

Obama :" Many of you may remember 9/11."

Many of you?. Shouldn't that be all of us , you pile of Marxist puke? Hey FREAK Ho-bama, 9/11 wasn't a "tragedy." It was an unprovoked act of mass murder of 3000 innocent civilians carried about by Islamic terrorists.The same terrorists who cowardly destroyed 3,000 innocent American lives support Barack Hussein Obama. Why is Obama getting so much money in offshore (illegal) donations from the Middle East? He is a Trojan for Islam.

Obama: “If we could have done anything to stop the Holocaust...”

We did, you dumb know nothing! We went to war with that paper hanging son of a bitch, and stopped him from finishing his evil work with the blood of American patriots! -- Wild Thing

"Brokaw just said Obama this is a question FROM YOU?"

Oh my gosh, besides Obama being totally RUDE at the first debate and now this one too, he is once again asking the questions. You know Obama has a real problem with the need to control people!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hussein also said, "Two years ago, I sent a letter to Fed Chairman Bernanke warning about the impending subprime mortgage crisis..."

Obama is a LIAR! The problem for this drooling, lying imbecile? Two years ago, Alan Greenspan was the Fed Chairman, not Bernanke. In fact, I'll bet that two years ago, Hussein had no idea who Bernanke was or how to get in touch with him. --Wild Thing

I loved it when John McCain quoted Barack Obama: Senator Obama, you said that if the economy was bad, you would withdraw your tax plan. (Looking right in Obama's eyes) Well, Senator Obama, I've got information for you. The news is bad.

McCain Calls Obama " That one" .......LMAO I love it! Oh my gosh this was just so perfect!!!

"You know who voted for it? You might never know. That one," said McCain, gesticulating towards Obama. "You know who voted against it? Me."

McCain was talking about buying up bad mortgages...

He didn’t explain his plan well.

This is the plan he is proposing: ....This is from the McCain/Palin email I received.

AMERICAN HOMEOWNERSHIP RESURGENCE PLAN

John McCain will direct his Treasury Secretary to implement an American Homeownership Resurgence Plan (McCain Resurgence Plan) to keep families in their homes, avoid foreclosures, save failing neighborhoods, stabilize the housing market and attack the roots of our financial crisis. America’s families are bearing a heavy burden from falling housing prices, mortgage delinquencies, foreclosures, and a weak economy. It is important that those families who have worked hard enough to finance homeownership not have that dream crushed under the weight of the wrong mortgage. The existing debts are too large compared to the value of housing. For those that cannot make payments, mortgages must be re-structured to put losses on the books and put homeowners in manageable mortgages. Lenders in these cases must recognize the loss that they’ve already suffered.

The McCain Resurgence Plan would purchase mortgages directly from homeowners and mortgage services, and replace them with manageable, fixed-rate mortgages that will keep families in their homes. By purchasing the existing, failing mortgages the McCain resurgence plan will eliminate uncertainty over defaults, support the value of mortgage-backed derivatives and alleviate risks that are freezing financial markets.

The McCain resurgence plan would be available to mortgage holders that:

· Live in the home (primary residence only)
· Can prove their creditworthiness at the time of the original loan (no falsifications and provided a down payment).

The new mortgage would be an FHA-guaranteed fixed-rate mortgage at terms manageable for the homeowner. The direct cost of this plan would be roughly $300 billion because the purchase of mortgages would relieve homeowners of “negative equity” in some homes. Funds provided by Congress in recent financial market stabilization bill can be used for this purpose; indeed by stabilizing mortgages it will likely be possible to avoid some purposes previously assumed needed in that bill.

The plan could be implemented quickly as a result of the authorities provided in the stabilization bill, the recent housing bill, and the U.S. government's conservatorship of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. It may be necessary for Congress to raise the overall borrowing limit.

Wild Thing's comment........

So that is about it, a few bells and whistles but not all I hoped for.

Just this, we can see what is happening and so much of it is socialism, why they are all bent on this when it has never worked in any country is beyond me.
There is so much on Obama that anyone running against him could have a field day, a banquet of choices to pick from to lay into him about, just as Sarah Palin has been doing.

Something to notice is how easy it is when one is a conservative for that person to stand up for what our country was meant to be and has been till the liberals and rino's got a grip on it. Heck I would love to debate Obama, no big deal, I would have to be coached on some policy things but darn I would not hesitate. Those sitting on the fence are the ones wanting to know the huge differences in what Obama's America would look like and a conservative one that stays in tune with our Founders. The challenge would not be having the nerve to speak up, but in how much time I am allotted for my answers.

This debate was not for people like me, I have made up my mind. I am voting McCain/Palin and for the rest down the ballot to keep Republicans in office. I want the majority back in the Houses and Pelosi and Reid combing the desert for water with one of those ugly sticks as they dry up and wither away into the sand storms.

Once we get a win, and I pray we do, then the other work starts when we let McCain know how we don't like things he wants to do. Hopefully this will be kept to a minimum but let's not bet on it. ( rolling my eyes here).

The worst kind of government corruption, overstepping and abuse that I know of is its disgraceful headlong slide into a socialism.

Our founders never intended for many of the things we see happening today to ever happen. They never intended the Supreme Court to be a legislative body. They never intended God or religion to be written out of public life. They never intend for government to disarm the people. They never intended for government to set up sanctuary cities for illegals. They never intended government to “rule” over the people . They never intended for government to deprive we the people of our
constitutional rights to free speech as we have seen happening with PC taking over and lawsuits happening because someone said something that was not PC. They never intended government to seize wealth and redistribute it to others. Or to provide government forced health insurance or government forced retirement systems. But all these things and more things are socialism and tyranny brought to us by liberals.Unfortunately liberals lite let's call them or rino's have grown in masses in our own party.
Our founding fathers would be aghast and furious to see what is happening, shots would be fired I am sure of it.

Pray for our country and our troops.

Looking Into B.Hussein Obama's Life

Obama and Rezko

Looking Into Obama's Life

author Unknown

"This election has me very worried. So many things to consider. About a year ago I would have voted for Obama. I have changed my mind three times since than. I watch all the news channels, jumping from one to another. I must say this drives my husband crazy. But, I feel if you view MSNBC, CNN, and Fox News, you might get some mi ddle ground to work with. About six months ago, I started thinking 'where did the m oney come from for Obama'. I have four daughters who went to College, and we were middle class, and money was tight. We (including my girls) worked hard and there were lots of student loans."

"I started looking into Obama's life. "

Around 1979 Obama started college at Occidental in California. He is very open about his two years at Occidental, he tried all kinds of drugs and was wasting his time but, even though he had a brilliant mind, did not appl y himself to his studies. 'Barry' (that was the name he used all his life) during this time had two roommates, Muhammad Hasan Chandoo and Wahid Hamid, both from Pakistan.

During the summer of 1981, after his second year in college, he made a 'round the world' trip. Stopping to see his mother in Indonesia, next Hyderabad in India, three weeks in Karachi, Pakistan where he stayed with his roommate's family, then off to Africa to visit his father's family.

"My question - Where did he get the money for this trip? Nether I, nor any one of my children would have had money for a trip like this when they where in college. When he came back he start ed school at Columbia University in New York. It is at this time he wants everyone to call him Barack - not Barry. Do you know what the tuition is at Columbia? It's not cheap to say the least! Where did he get money for tuition? Student Loans? Maybe. After Columbia, he went to Chicago to work as a Community Organizer for $12,000 a year. Why Chicago? Why not New York? He was already living in New York. "

By 'chance' he met Antoin 'Tony' Rezko, born in Aleppo Syria, and a real estate developer in Chicago. Rezko has been convicted of fraud and bribery this year. Rezko, was named 'Entrepreneur of the Decade' by the Arab-American Business and Professional Association'.

About two years later, Obama entered Harvard Law School. Do you have any idea what tuition is for Harvard Law School? Where did he get the money for Law School? More student loans?

After Law school, he went back to Chicago. Rezko offered him a job, which he turned down. But, he did take a job with Davis, Miner, Barnhill & Galland.

Guess what? They represented 'Rezar' which is Rezko's firm. Rezko was one of Obama's first major financial contributors when he ran for office in Chicago.

In 2003, Rezko threw an early fundraiser for Obama which Chicago Tribune reporter David Mendelland claims was instrumental in providing Obama with 'seed money' for his U.S. Senate race.

In 2005, Obama purchased a new home in Kenwoood District of Chicago for $1.65 million (less than asking price). With ALL those Student Loans - Where did he get the money for the property? On the same day Rezko's wife, Rita, purchased the adjoining empty lot for full price. The London Times reported that Nadhmi Auchi, an Iraqi-born Billionaire loaned Rezko $3.5 million three weeks before Obama's new home was purchased. Obama met Nadhmi Auchi many times with Rezko.

"Now, we have Obama running for President. Valerie Jarrett, was Michele Obama's boss. She is now Obama's chief advisor and he does not make any major decisions without talking to her first. Where was Jarrett born? Ready for this? Shiraz, Iran! Do we see a pattern here? Or am I going crazy?"

On May 10, 2008 The Times reported, Robert Malley, advisor to Obama, was 'sacked' after the press found out he was having regular contacts with 'Hamas', which controls Gaza and is connected with Iran. This past week, buried in the back part of the papers, Iraqi newspapers reported that during Obama's visit to Iraq, he asked their leaders to do nothing about the war until after he is elected, and he will 'Take care of things'.

"Oh, and by the way, remember the college roommates that where born in Pakistan? They are in charge of all those 'small' Internet campaign contributions for Obama. Where is that money coming from? The poor and middle class in this country? Or could it be from the Middle East? "

On September 7, 2008, The Washington Times posted a verbal slip that was made on 'This Week' with George Stephanapoulos. Obama on talking about his religion said, 'My Muslim faith'. When questioned, 'he made a mistake'. Some mistake!

"All of the above information I got on line. If you would like to check it - Wikipedia, encyclopedia, Barack Obama; Tony Rezko; Valerie Jarrett: Daily Times - Obam a visited Pakistan in 1981; The Washington Times - September 7, 2008; The Times May 10, 2008."

"Now the BIG question - If I found out all this information on my own, Why haven't all of our 'intelligent' members of the press been reporting this?"

"A phrase that keeps ringing in my ear - 'Beware of the enemy from within'!!!"

Wild Thing's comment........

I do not know the person that wrote this, but the information is accurate and VERY interesting. There are some things in here I never knew before.

How anyone that had even 1/10th of what Barack and Michelle have in their not so distant past in their lives is able to run for any political office is shocking to me.

And how the media not only insistes non of this matters, or even scoffs those trying to put this information out to the public is a disgrace and anti-American.

And lastly how anyone could vote for Obama if they even have a hint as to the kind of person he is shows how few people that SAY they love America simply do NOT!

.....Thank you Mark for sending this to me.

Obama : "That's just how white folks will do you."

Dreams from My Father: A Story of Race and Inheritance

"That's just how white folks will do you. It wasn't merely the cruelty involved; I was learning that black people could be mean and then some.It was a particular brand of arrogance, an obtuseness in otherwise sane people that brought forth our bitter laughter. It was as if whites didn't know that they were being cruel in the first place. Or at least thought you deserving of their scorn." pg 80

"So I read the book to help me understand what makes white people so afraid. Their demons. The way ideas get twisted around. It helps me understand how people learn to hate." (emphasis added). Pg 103

And then there is Obama's classic delivered with spirit...”...white man's greed runs a world in need...”

Obama will go down in history as the racist Candidate that could not even heal his racism no matter how many votes he received.

The people that vote for this sick human Obama are just like him imo.

Gov. Sarah Palin Rally in Clearwater, Florida

Thousands of people turned out to hear and see Sarah Palin. Lines formed outside Coachman Park before 5 a.m..

CLEARWATER, Fla. -

and second source FOX News

Republican vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin expanded her attack on Democrat Barack Obama's character Monday to include his relationship with an incendiary former pastor as well as his ties to 1960s-era radical Bill Ayers.

Palin criticizes Obama's ties to Wright, Ayers

She embarked on a discussion of Obama's relationship with his former pastor, the Rev. Jeremiah A. Wright Jr.

At a morning rally in Florida, Palin kept up her criticism of Obama's ties to Ayers, a founder of the violent Weather Underground group blamed for several bombings during the Vietnam War era, when Obama was a child.

The Illinois senator has denounced Ayers' radical views and activities.

Sarah Palin isn't backing down on questioning Barack Obama's relationships -- telling voters in Florida Monday that she is curious how the Democratic presidential candidate couldn't know that William Ayers was a co-founder of the Weather Underground terrorist group.

Embodying her role as the Republican campaign's pit bull with lipstick, the vice presidential contender said one of her favorite newspapers -- The New York Times -- reported that Ayers was part of a group that launched a bombing campaign against the Pentagon and U.S. Capitol.

"And then there's even more to the story," Palin told voters in Clearwater, Fla. "Barack Obama says that Ayers was just someone in the neighborhood, but that's less than truthful. His own advisers said they were quote certainly friendly. In fact Obama held one of his first meetings of his political career in Bill Ayers' living room and they worked together on various projects in Chicago."

"This is someone who sees America as 'imperfect enough' to work with a former domestic terrorist who targeted his own country," Palin said of Obama. That was a tamer description than Palin used at rallies in California and Colorado over the weekend.

Saying hi to a Downs baby from the audience.

Report from a Republican that went to the Rally:

"We arrived at Clearwater’s Jack Russell Stadium at 5:30AM and the buses were lined up waiting for the large crowd that had already formed. We were onto a bus by 6:10 for the ride to Coachman Park which is about a half mile away from the stadium. After going through security at the park we entered the pavilion area. My hubby and I were delighted to put on a white shirt to join many others in forming the American flag in the stands behind Sarah! We were seated in by about 7:00 and the program began at 8:00 with great entertainment and speakers prior to Sarah’s arrival.

I am sure there were AT LEAST 20,000 folks in the pavilion area along with many more outside the bleacher area.

We did not know that Senator Lieberman was coming, but we Floridians gave him a super warm welcome. We know he is supporting the right ticket and he is on the correct side in wanting victory in our war against terrorists! Senator Lieberman gave an excellent speech and introduced Sarah to (of course) loud and ingoing cheers!

I won’t take time to tell you about all the great conversations we had with delightful folks in line going onto buses, during our ride, in line going through security, and then with those sitting around us. One thing I must mention is that we McCain/Palin supporters are happy folks! :)

Sarah Palin Leaves Protester Speechless in Florida!!

Wild Thing's comment.......

I am soooo glad they had special equiped buses for those who are wheelchair bound or have difficulty walking. The rallies for Sarah people have had to park a long way from the event or in huge parking lots where there was a lot of walking just to get to the rally site. They have been thoughtful to have golf carts at most of the rallies but just not enough. This is all so new for the GOP to have someone that draws this kind of crowd, but they are learning fast.

This is all just so fantastic! Thank you God!

McCain ` Fire at will! ~ Awesome Speech By McCain in New Mexico

McCain Takes Off Gloves, Slaps Obama with Them

John McCain, today, finally starts talking about Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, the irresponsible leadership at both, and the Democrats' efforts to prevent serious oversight:

VIDEO
HERE IS A VIDEO from C-SPAN ........ I could not find one yet on YouTube that had the entire speech. So C-SPAN willl have to be it for right now. It is REALLY worth watching. He has tons of one line zingers at Obama.

Here’s the transcript:

REMARKS BY JOHN MCCAIN IN ALBUQUERQUE, NM

In less than a month, the American people will make a choice on where they want this country to go, and who they trust to lead us in a time of war and economic crisis. The time for debating and electioneering is drawing to a close. Soon it will be the time for choosing.

Today we have seen a reminder of the importance of that choice. The action Congress took last week to address our financial crisis was a tourniquet, but not a permanent solution. Today we are seeing the stock market fall, and the credit crisis spread to other parts of the world. Our economy is still hurting -- working families are worried about the price of groceries, the price of gas, keeping their jobs and paying their mortgage -- further action is needed. We need to restore confidence in our economy and in our government.

Washington is still on the wrong track and we still need change. The status quo is not on the ballot. We are going to see change in Washington. The question is: in what direction will we go? Will our country be a better place under the leadership of the next president -- a more secure, prosperous, and just society? Will you be better off, in the jobs you hold now and in the opportunities you hope for? Will your sons and daughters grow up in the kind of country you wish for them, rising in the world and finding in their own lives the best of America? And which candidate's experience -- in government and in life -- makes him a more reliable leader for our country and commander in chief for our troops? Who is ready to lead? In a time of trouble and danger for our country, who will put our country first?

I set out on my own campaign for president many months ago. I promised at the beginning to be straight with the American people, knowing that even those who don't agree with me on everything would expect at least that much. I didn't just show up out of nowhere [This line just got a HUGE response from the audience. -- amc ]] after all -- America knows me. You know my strengths and my faults. You know my story and my convictions. And though familiarity in politics can be both helpful to a candidate, or not so helpful, it does at least fill out the picture and answer the essential questions. You need to know who you're putting in the White House -- where the candidate came from and what he or she believes. And you need to know now, before it is time to choose.

In 21 months, during hundreds of speeches, town halls and debates, I have kept my promise to level with you about my plans to reform Washington and get this country moving again. As a senator, I've seen the corrupt ways of Washington in wasteful spending and other abuses of power, and as president I'm going to end them -- whatever it takes. I will propose and sign into law reforms to bring tax relief to the middle class and help to businesses so they can create jobs. I will get the rising cost of food and gas under control. I will help families keep their home, and help students struggling to pay for college. I will make health care more accessible and affordable. I will impose a spending freeze on all but the most vital functions of government. I will review every agency of the federal government, improve those that need to be improved and eliminate those that aren't working for the American people. I will confront th e ten trillion-dollar debt that the federal government has run up, and balance the federal budget by the end of my term in office.

This is the agenda I have set before my fellow citizens. And the same standards of clarity and candor must now be applied to my opponent. Even at this late hour in the campaign, there are essential things we don't know about Senator Obama or the record that he brings to this campaign.

We have all heard what he has said, but it is less clear what he has done or what he will do. What Senator Obama says today and what he has done in the past are often two different things. He has often changed his positions in this campaign, and the best way to determine where he would really take this country is to examine where he has tried to take it in the past.

My opponent has invited serious questioning by announcing a few weeks ago that he would quote -- "take off the gloves." Since then, whenever I have questioned his policies or his record, he has called me a liar.

Rather than answer his critics, Senator Obama will try to distract you from noticing that he never answers the serious and legitimate questions he has been asked. But let me reply in the plainest terms I know. I don't need lessons about telling the truth to American people. And were I ever to need any improvement in that regard, I probably wouldn't seek advice from a Chicago politician.

My opponent's touchiness every time he is questioned about his record should make us only more concerned. For a guy who's already authored two memoirs, he's not exactly an open book. It's as if somehow the usual rules don't apply, and where other candidates have to explain themselves and their records, Senator Obama seems to think he is above all that. Whatever the question, whatever the issue, there's always a back story with Senator Obama. All people want to know is: What has this man ever actually accomplished in government? What does he plan for America? In short: Who is the real Barack Obama? But ask such questions and all you get in response is another barrage of angry insults.

Our current economic crisis is a good case in point. What was his actual record in the years before the great economic crisis of our lifetimes?

This crisis started in our housing market in the form of subprime loans that were pushed on people who could not afford them. Bad mortgages were being backed by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, and it was only a matter of time before a contagion of unsustainable debt began to spread. This corruption was encouraged by Democrats in Congress, and abetted by Senator Obama.

Senator Obama has accused me of opposing regulation to avert this crisis. I guess he believes if a lie is big enough and repeated often enough it will be believed. But the truth is I was the one who called at the time for tighter restrictions on Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac that could have helped prevent this crisis from happening in the first place.

Senator Obama was silent on the regulation of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, and his Democratic allies in Congress opposed every effort to rein them in. As recently as September of last year he said that subprime loans had been, quote, "a good idea." Well, Senator Obama, that "good idea" has now plunged this country into the worst financial crisis since the Great Depression.

To hear him talk now, you'd think he'd always opposed the dangerous practices at these institutions. But there is absolutely nothing in his record to suggest he did. He was surely familiar with the people who were creating this problem. The executives of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac have advised him, and he has taken their money for his campaign.

He has received more money from Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac than any other senator in history, with the exception of the chairman of the committee overseeing them. Did he ever talk to the executives at Fannie and Freddie about these reckless loans? Did he ever discuss with them the stronger oversight I proposed? If Senator Obama is such a champion of financial regulation, why didn't he support these regulations that could have prevented this crisis in the first place? He won't tell you, but you deserve an answer.

Even after he refused to lift a finger to prevent this crisis, when the crisis hit, he was missing in action. He didn't start making calls to round up votes until after the rescue bill failed in the House and the markets crashed. We continue to see the price of delay today as the markets continue to fall. Today the DOW has fallen below 10,000. And yet, members of his own party said they felt no pressure to vote for the bill. Why didn't Senator Obama work to pass this bill from the start? Why did he let it fail and drag out this crisis for a full week before doing a thing to help pass it?

Again on taxes, we see a difference between what Senator Obama says today, what he said yesterday and what he has actually done. Over the course of this campaign, he has had many different plans to raise your taxes. During the Democratic primary, he promised to double taxes on every American with a dividend or an investment. He promised to raise payroll taxes. He promised higher taxes on electricity. Now, Senator Obama claims he will give 95 percent of Americans tax relief. He actually promised the same thing when he was running for Senate in Illinois, but once elected he never introduced legislation to do so. Instead, he voted for the Democratic budget resolution that promised to raise taxes on people making just 42,000 dollars a year. At the time, he even said his vote was intended to get "our nation's priorities back on track." If he's such a defender of the middle class, why did he vote to raise their taxes? Whatever ha ppened to the tax relief he promised them when he was a candidate for the Senate? And why should middle class Americans trust him to keep promises he has already broken?

Senator Obama and I both have differences with how President Bush has handled the economy. But he thinks taxes are too low, and I think spending is too high. The government's out of control spending has resulted in a weaker dollar, raising the cost of groceries and gasoline, and killing jobs.

I will veto pork barrel legislation and cut wasteful government spending. Senator Obama has a different plan. According to third party estimates, he will increase government spending by over 860 billion dollars. He has denied it, but he has refused to tell you how much he does plan to spend. What is the total of his increased spending? Americans deserve to know just how much more of their money Senator Obama intends to spend, and how much more debt he plans to burden them with.

Senator Obama has also criticized earmark spending, those wasteful pork barrel projects stuck in spending bills behind closed doors. And yet, despite his talk on the campaign trail, his actual record is full of requests for earmark projects. In his three short years in the Senate, he has requested nearly a billion dollars in pork projects for his state -- a million dollars for every day he's been in office. Far from fighting earmarks in Congress, Senator Obama has been an eager participant in this corrupt system. In one instance, he sought more than 3 million dollars for a new projector at a planetarium in his hometown. Coincidentally, the chairman of that planetarium pledged to raise more than $200,000 for Senator Obama's campaign. We don't know if they ever discussed the money for the planetarium, and no one has asked Senator Obama. But even the appearance of this kind of insider-dealing disgusts Americans. I'm going to put a stop to that, my friends, if I'm President.

I have made every single donor to my campaign publicly available, while Senator Obama has taken in over 200 million dollars from undisclosed sources. We have already seen the potential for fraud because of his refusal to disclose his donors. His campaign had to return $33,000 in illegal foreign funds from Palestinian donors, and this weekend, we found out about another $28,000 in illegal donations. Why has Senator Obama refused to disclose the people who are funding his campaign? Again, the American people deserve answers.

On health care, Senator Obama has been misleading you about my plan to give you more money for health care, and he has been equally misleading about his own plans. He has said his goal is a single payer system where government is in charge of health care and bureaucrats stand between you and your doctor. Under the plan he has proposed, he will fine families that don't have the kind of health insurance that Senator Obama tells them to purchase. He will fine employers who do not offer the health insurance that he thinks they should offer.

What he doesn't say, and what nobody has asked, is how big his fines will be. What he doesn't want you to know is that with a small fine, his plan will encourage companies to just pay the fine, drop existing health care coverage for their employees and leave them with only one real option: government run health care.

Who is the real Senator Obama? Is he the candidate who promises to cut middle class taxes, or the politician who voted to raise middle class taxes? Is he the candidate who talks about regulation or the politician who took money from Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac and turned a blind eye as they ran our economy into a ditch?

Is he the candidate who promises change, or is he the politician who has bought into everything that is wrong with Washington? We can't change the system with someone who's never fought the system.

Washington is on the wrong track and I'm going to set it right. The American people know my record. They know I am going to change Washington, because I've done it before. They know I'm going to reform our broken institutions in Washington and on Wall Street because I've done it before. They know I'm going to deliver relief to the middle class, because that's what I've done.

You don't have to hope that things will change when you vote for me. You know things will change, because I have been fighting for change in Washington my whole career. I've been fighting for you my whole life. That's what I'm going to do as President of the United States. Fight for you and put the government back on the side of the people.

Thank you.

Wild Thing's comment........

WOW!

I got the transcript from one of the PUMA sites hahaha I went there to see if they had any new videos about Sarah.

He called Obama out, said “I didn’t just show up from nowhere. Americans know me.”

Tied Obama to Fannie and Freddie

Said Obama never answers questions, called McCain a liar when he questioned his policies.

McCain, “If I ever need lessons on telling the truth, I won’t ask a Chicago politician.”

Said it is time “America knows the true Barack Obama.”

John, keep squeezing that trigger!

LMAO John and Sarah are double teaming the chosen one. I love it! Now this is more like it! Show him what a fighter pilot can do in a dogfight!

I really liked this one......

McCain, “If I ever need lessons on telling the truth, I won’t ask a Chicago politician.”

Dow just closed over 10000 after being down as far as 9500 earlier in the day. It seems an amazing coincidence that the minute McCain starting kicking a** and taking names, the Dow started surging upwards.

Will The REAL Obama Please Stand Up?

Terrorist William Ayers And Wife Bernadine Dohrn Hosted Meeting To Launch Obama's Political Career

The video is David Axelrod, Obama’s chief strategist, claiming that Obama did not know that Bill Ayers was a domestic terrorist.--- What a LIE from Axelrod! -- Wild Thing

Erik Erikson spells it out, In 1996, Media Coverage of Bill Ayers Was Too Extensive to Believe Obama Did Not Know Who Ayers Was

Barack Obama, at Bill Ayers’ behest, began work in 1995 at the Chicago Annenberg Challenge.

In 1996 At the height of this exposure, major media outlets were quoting Bill Ayers and pointing out his radical past.

The Obama Ayers Relationship

GOP.com

Monday, October 06, 2008

also notes from Politico - article by Ben Smith

The Relationship Between Barack Obama And Bill Ayers Is Much More Extensive Than Obama's Campaign Is Willing To Admit

In 1995, During Obama's First State Senate Campaign, William Ayers And Wife Bernadine Dohrn Hosted A Meeting Of Chicago Liberals At Their Home For Obama, Which One Attendee Said Was Aimed At "Launching Him."

"In 1995, State Senator Alice Palmer introduced her chosen successor, Barack Obama, to a few of the district's influential liberals at the home of two well known figures on the local left: William Ayers and Bernardine Dohrn. While Ayers and Dohrn may be thought of in Hyde Park as local activists, they're better known nationally as two of the most notorious -- and unrepentant -- figures from the violent fringe of the 1960s anti-war movement.

'I can remember being one of a small group of people who came to Bill Ayers' house to learn that Alice Palmer was stepping down from the senate and running for Congress,' said Dr. Quentin Young, a prominent Chicago physician and advocate for single-payer health care, of the info rmal gathering at the home of Ayers and his wife, Dohrn. '[Palmer] identified [Obama] as her successor.' ... Dr. Young and another guest, Maria Warren, described it similarly: as an introduction to Hyde Park liberals of the handpicked successor to Palmer, a well-regarded figure on the left. 'When I first met Barack Obama, he was giving a standard, innocuous little talk in the living room of those two legends-in-their-own-minds, Bill Ayers and Bernardine Dohrn,' Warren wrote on her blog in 2005. 'They were launching him -- introducing him to the Hyde Park community as the best thing since sliced bread.'" (Ben Smith, "Obama Once Visited '60s Radicals," The Politico, 1/22/08)

From March Of 1995 Until September Of 1997, Obama And Ayers Attended At Least Seven Meetings Together Relating To The Chicago Annenberg Challenge. (Chicago Annenberg Challenge, Board Of Directors Meeting, Minutes Of The Board, 3/15/95, 3/31/95, 4/13/95, 6/5/95, 9/30/97; National Annenberg Challenge Evaluation Meeting, List Of Participants, 5/24/95; Chicago Annenberg Challenge, Chicago School Reform Collaborative Meeting, Minutes, 10/23/96)

From 1995 to 1999, Obama led an education foundation called the Chicago Annenberg Challenge (CAC), and remained on the board until 2001. The group poured more than $100 million into the hands of community organizers and radical education activists. The CAC was the brainchild of Bill Ayers.

The Obama campaign has struggled to downplay that association. Last April, Sen. Obama dismissed Mr. Ayers as just "a guy who lives in my neighborhood," and "not somebody who I exchange ideas with on a regular basis." Yet documents in the CAC archives make clear that Mr. Ayers and Mr. Obama were partners in the CAC. Those archives are housed in the Richard J. Daley Library at the University of Illinois at Chicago and I've recently spent days looking through them.

The CAC's agenda flowed from Mr. Ayers's educational philosophy, which called for infusing students and their parents with a radical political commitment, and which downplayed achievement tests in favor of activism.

In 1997, Obama Praised Ayers' Book On The Juvenile Justice System. "The two men were involved in efforts to reform the city's education system. They appeared together on academic panels, including one organized by Michelle Obama to discuss the juvenile justice system, an area of mutual concern. Mr. Ayers's book on the subject won a rave review in The Chicago Tribune by Mr. Obama, who called it 'a searing and timely account.'" (Jo Becker and Christopher Drew, "Pragmatic Politics, Forged On The South Side," The New York Times, 5/11/08)

Obama On William Ayers' "A Kind And Just Parent: The Children Of Juvenile Court": "A searing and timely account of the juvenile court system, and the courageous individuals who rescue hope from despair." (Chicago Tribune, 12/21/97)

Wild Thing's comment...........

These things above are of immense importance not just because of the Ayers association itself , but because of the increasingly visible cover-up by Obama of the true facts/connections.

Two policeman - family men - were killed by this gang, in addition to the havoc they caused with all the bombing. That resonates.

These were terrorists in every sense of the word.

That Ayers appears today as a college professor is most deceiving. It is a testimony to the power of the money of, ironically, his industrialist father that he is not serving life in prison.

He and his wife remain unrepentant terrorists.

This election will determine if the United States of America remains the kind of country it was as founded to be, with the rule of law and individual freedom and liberty, pursuit of happiness, all of these things, capitalism, free markets. Right now they are under assault, not only by Obama and his wife, but by an entire political party and leftists who are everywhere, including in the Media.

They want to deny others liberty. They are a great threat to the future of this country as we know it

McCain/Palin New Ad Called ...." Dangerous"

Wild Thing's comment..........

Our troops in Afghanistan are just "air raiding villiages and killing civilians" is the way this video starts. In Obama's own words, voice and image.

Wonderful Interview Of Gov. Sarah Palin

The Wright Stuff

By WILLIAM KRISTOL

I spoke on the phone Sunday with Sarah Palin, who was in Long Beach, Calif., preparing to take off on her next campaign trip. It was the first time I’d talked with her since I met her in far more relaxed circumstances in Alaska over a year ago. But even though she’s presumably now under some strain and stress, she seemed, as far as I could tell, confident and upbeat.

In terms of substance, some of what she had to say was unsurprising: She doesn’t have a very high opinion of the mainstream media, and she believes an Obama administration would kill jobs by raising taxes. But she said a couple of things that were, I thought, either personally touching or politically provocative.

At one point, noting that Palin had remarked ruefully almost a week ago that her son Track had been, since his recent deployment to Iraq, in touch with his girlfriend but not his mother, I asked whether she had subsequently heard from him.

Palin told me she had. “He called the day of the debate, and it was so wonderful because it was the first call since they were deployed over there, and it was like a burden lifted even when I heard his voice.” Palin said that she told him that she had a debate that night. “And he says, ‘Yeah, I heard, Mom,’ and he says, ‘Have you been studying?’ And I said, ‘Yeah, I have,’ and he goes, ‘O.K., well I’ll be praying.’ I’m like — total role reversal here, that’s what I’ve been telling him for 19 years.”

That was Palin the hockey mom — or rather the military mom.

As for the campaign, Palin made clear — without being willing to flat out say so — that she regretted allowing herself to be overly handled and constrained after the Republican convention. She described the debate on Thursday night as “liberating,” and she emphasized how much she now looked forward to being out there, “getting to speak directly to the folks.”

Since she seemed to have enjoyed the debate, I asked her whether she’d like to take this opportunity to challenge Joe Biden to another one.

There was a pause, and I thought I heard some staff murmuring in the background (we were on speaker phones). She passed on the notion of a challenge. But she did say she was more than willing to accept an invitation to debate with Biden again, and even expressed a preference for a town hall meeting-type format.

Since their debate drew more than 70 million television viewers — some 20 million more than watched John McCain and Barack Obama the week before — I trust that various civic associations, universities and media organizations will have invitations in the mail to Biden and Palin pronto.

And, really, shouldn’t the public get the benefit of another Biden-Palin debate, or even two? If there’s difficulty finding a moderator, I’ll be glad to volunteer.

Palin also made clear that she was eager for the McCain-Palin campaign to be more aggressive in helping the American people understand “who the real Barack Obama is.” Part of who Obama is, she said, has to do with his past associations, such as with the former bomber Bill Ayers. Palin had raised the topic of Ayers Saturday on the campaign trail, and she maintained to me that Obama, who’s minimized his relationship with Ayers, “hasn’t been wholly truthful” about this.

I pointed out that Obama surely had a closer connection to the Rev. Jeremiah Wright than to Ayers — and so, I asked, if Ayers is a legitimate issue, what about Reverend Wright?

She didn’t hesitate: “To tell you the truth, Bill, I don’t know why that association isn’t discussed more, because those were appalling things that that pastor had said about our great country, and to have sat in the pews for 20 years and listened to that — with, I don’t know, a sense of condoning it, I guess, because he didn’t get up and leave — to me, that does say something about character. But, you know, I guess that would be a John McCain call on whether he wants to bring that up.”

I guess so. And I guess we’ll soon know McCain’s call on whether he wants to bring Wright up — perhaps at his debate with Obama Tuesday night.

I asked at the end of our conversation whether Palin, fresh off her own debate, had any advice for McCain. “I’m going to tell him the same thing he told me. I talked to him just a few minutes before I walked out there on stage. And he just said: ‘Have fun. Be yourself, and have fun.’ And Senator McCain can do the same.” She paused, and I was about to thank her for the interview, but she had one more thing to say. “Only maybe I’d add just a couple more words, and that would be: ‘Take the gloves off.’ ”

And maybe I’d add, Hockey Mom knows best.

Wild Thing's comment..........

I think Rev; Wright must have turned off a certain amount of people not to vote for Obama.

Sarah is setting a lot of firsts. The VP debate had the most viewers than any other time in history.

I have said this before, God gave us and America Sarah Palin and I will do all I can to make sure she will be our VP.

.....Thank you Mark for sending this to me.

Obama Youth - Junior Fraternity Regiment

Obama Youth - Junior Fraternity Regiment

This is where this school is located: ( Below the address for the school I posted what the person that has the video at YouTube has said, so the quotes belong to that person )

URBAN COMMUNITY LEADERSHIP ACADEMY

18th & Vine District, Kansas City, MO
Educational Organization

" I called and spoke to Bernard, who said he was the assistant Dean. He was very gentlemanly and when I voiced my concerns about the video, he told me that this was taken at the school last year when Obama was beginning his campaign. He assured me that they stopped this "regiment" because they felt the person who was organizing it was pushing his political agenda. Duh

He assured me that he didn't know it was on YouTube. I gave him the link to where to go for this video and when he found it he said, "Oh this is not good. I had no idea" I told him I'd take his word for it. He then asked me, nicely, "what's the main concern? Because I want to understand where you're coming from so that I can figure out how to handle this."

Nicely, I told him that the video looked militant. I told him about the Colburn School video and how it resembles propaganda films from Communist dictatorships. I told him that the US military is frowned upon for going to high schools trying to recruit potential grads into joining their ranks. Why shouldn't we frown upon those who come to a school like yours to encourage kids to worship a politician? One who is not even a president.

I also said that if this was done to make kids feel better about themselves, why do it in the name of Obama? Why not encourage kids to believe in the power of themselves?
He assured me that he would get to the bottom of the situation, thanked me for my call and we hung up."

Isn't this great! NOT! This kind of thing is scary to me.No way is this motivation, it is more of the sick worship of Obama.

I pray we don't have this kind of thing for 8 years, this is something that would grow if Obama becomes President.

Desperate Obama To TRY and Hit McCain on Keating Scandal

Politico ....for complete article

Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.) on Monday will launch a multimedia campaign to draw attention to the involvement of Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) in the “Keating Five” savings-and-loan scandal of 1989-91, which blemished McCain’s public image and set him on his course as a self-styled reformer.

Retaliating for what it calls McCain's “guilt-by-association” tactics, the Obama campaign is e-mailing millions of supporters a link to a website, KeatingEconomics.com, which will have a 13-minute documentary on the scandal beginning at noon Eastern time on Monday. The overnight e-mails urge recipients to pass the link on to friends.

The Obama campaign, including its surrogates appearing on radio and television, will argue that the deregulatory fervor that caused massive, cascading savings-and-loan collapses in the late ‘80s was pursued by McCain throughout his career, and helped cause the current credit crisis.

Obama’s offensive comes after McCain’s running mate, Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, spent two days telling voters, donors and reporters that Obama showed poor judgment in his relationship with the former radical William Ayers.

McCain’s campaign has vowed to make a major issue of Obama’s Chicago relationships in coming days, with a senior McCain official telling Politico that they are “the vehicle that allows us to question Obama’s truthfulness about his past and his plans for the future.”

The McCain campaign also plans to invoke money launderer Tony Rezko. Officials say they will not bring up Obama's former minister, the Rev. Jeremiah Wright, because McCain has forbade his campaign from using that as an attack. But the officials said outside groups supporting McCain might highlight Wright.

Responding to the Keating blast from the past, a Republican official said the Obama team seemed "frantic" at "the mere mention of the word 'Ayers.'"

“The fact that the Obama team is recycling this old garbage 24 hours after Bill Ayers entered the race is a testament to how worried the Obama camp is of an unfettered airing of his associations," the official said. "Obama is a clever enough politician to know that his unexplored relationships with terrorists and felons are a serious liability in a race this close.”

Wild Thing's comment..........

LOL I can't help but laugh at this. Sarah Palin spoke the TRUTH, FOX news special was the TRUTH, New York Times shocking as it was for them to tell the truth they hit Obama with the TRUTH and they have been for Obama all this time.

So how does little Hussein attempt to fight back? With Keating Five trying and lies about what happened. Keep trying Obama you freak!

Keating Five: Alan Cranston (D-CA); Dennis DeConcini (D-AZ); John Glenn (D-OH); and Donald W. Riegle, Jr. (D-MI)....and John McCain.

Note, four Democrats and one Republican. In doing so, however, we must also note that Robert Bennett, Chief Counsel to the Democrats during the investigation, said that McCain should not be included in the investigation and that their was not evidence of any wrong doing by Senator McCain.

Robert Bennett, a Washington lawyer and big dem, was the special prosecuter for the Keating scandal. He has many times stated that John McCain should never have been included in the Keating 5. And...he’s said this repeatedly within the past year.

In February this year, on Fox News’ “Hannity and Colmes,” Bennett said

“First, I should tell your listeners I’m a registered Democrat, so I’m not on (McCain’s) side of a lot of issues. But I investigated John McCain for a year and a half, at least, when I was special counsel to the Senate Ethics Committee in the Keating Five. ... And if there is one thing I am absolutely confident of, it is John McCain is an honest man. I recommended to the Senate Ethics Committee that he be cut out of the case, that there was no evidence against him.”

Both McCain and John Glenn were held blameless. It was really the “Keating Three”, but the Dem Controlled Senate kept McCain and Glenn involved so it would be “bipartisan” scandal.

John McCain apologized to the country for any sign of impropriety AND he led a number of campaigns to get rid of the same sort of bribes.

In the presidential campaign, McCain had confided that his intervention with bank regulators on Keating’s behalf was the worst mistake of his adult life, one that caused him as much anguish as spending five years in a North Vietnamese prisoner-of-war camp. The Arizona Republican said the incident taught him that “the appearance of impropriety” can be as damaging as actual wrongdoing.

McCain and Glenn drawing the lightest reprimands, only a finding that they had shown poor judgment. McCain also agreed to pay back tens of thousands of dollars in personal and campaign largesse from Keating.

If Obama goes after McCain on this, Obama may end up with egg on his face.

McCain's life has been pretty much an open book, unlke Obama and all the questions surrounding him including his birth certificate, and does have dual citizenship etc.

McCain himself, through his campaign, made it pretty clear today what he intends to do about this. BRAVO!.

“The last four weeks of this election will be about whether the American people are willing to turn our economy and national security over to Barack Obama, a man with little record, questionable judgment, and ties to radical figures like unrepentant domestic terrorist William Ayers. Americans need to ask themselves if they’ve ever befriended an unrepentant terrorist, or had a convicted felon help them buy their house — because those aren’t smears, those are true facts about Barack Obama.” —Tucker Bounds, spokesman McCain-Palin 2008

Robert Bennett in case it is important for anyone to know is also the borther of radio talk show host and contributor on CNN, Bill Bennett’s brother.

Obamalamadingdong’s negatives are SO MUCH higher than McCain’s! This is just a scare tactic by the Obamatons, and it won’t work. McCain bringing up Ayers, Rezko, and Raila Odinga WILL! Obam-uh-uh-uh SHOULD be scared of negative campaigning.

Barack HUSSEIN Obama and His Cousin Raila Odinga

Barack HUSSEIN Obama & Raila Odinga

Barack Obama and the leader of Kenya's socialist Orange Democratic Movement.

More brutal and gory details of the man Obama unequivocally supports.

This is more than bad judgment, this is scary. A Jacksonian who has done yeoman's work in substantiating Odinga's nefarious Arab ties and his hand in the ongoing violence that has all of Kenya in its barbaric clutches. Inconceivable horror. Gang raping little girls and boys as many as ten times. That's just the tip of the iceberg.

"Obama has had near-daily conversations with the U.S. Ambassador in Kenya or with opposition leader Raila Odinga. As of late this afternoon, before his rally in Rochester, N.H., Obama was trying to reach Kenyan President Kibaki."

Obama's bias for his fellow Luo was so blatant that a Kenya government spokesman denounced Obama during his visit as Raila's "stooge."

OBAMA'S OTHER LIFE Time Magazine Joe Klein

One of the more extraordinary stories of the Obama campaign has been playing out behind the scenes over the past week as the candidate has been working on a daily basis to try to calm things down in his father's homeland and his grandmother's home, Kenya, where a contested election has led to riots.

On January 1, 2008 , two days before the Iowa caucuses, Obama left a message for Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice. According to Robert Gibbs, Obama's Communications Director, Rice called back "as we were driving from Sioux City to Council Bluffs on January 1. They talked about the situation and Rice asked Obama to tape a Voice of America message calling for calm." Obama taped the message on January 2, after a rally in Davenport, Iowa. He said, in part:

"Despite irregularities in the vote tabulation, now is not the time to throw that strong democracy away. Now is a time for President Kibaki, opposition leader Odinga, and all of Kenya’s leaders to call for calm, to come together, and to start a political process to address peacefully the controversies that divide them. Now is the time for this terrible violence to end.

Kenya’s long democratic journey has at times been difficult. But at critical moments, Kenyans have chosen unity and progress over division and disaster. The way forward is not through violence – it is through democracy, and the rule of law. To all of Kenya’s people, I ask you to renew Kenya’s democratic tradition, and to seek your dreams in peace."

On January 3, the day of the caucuses, he had a conversation with Bishop Desmond Tutu, who had flown to Nairobi to see if he could begin negotiations with the factions. In the days since his Iowa victory, Obama has had near-daily conversations with the U.S. Ambassador in Kenya or with opposition leader Raila Odinga. As of late this afternoon, before his rally in Rochester, N.H., Obama was trying to reach Kenyan President Kibaki.

Near daily conversations with Odinga but has not yet spoken with the Kenyan President?

Obama is busy right now--but it does seem noteworthy that, in the midst of the most amazing week of his life, Barack Obama has found the time to be so busy trying to reach his cousin Odinga.

Wild Thing's comment..........

Yo Obama, let’s see you defend yourself for campaigning OPENLY in 2006 for your cousin the COMMUNIST Raila Odinga who signed a pact with Muslims to enact Sharia Law if elected and started riots when he lost.

Odinga, a rabid socialist tyrant and violent monster, and Obama made a visit to help this radical’s cause....and Obama's trip was made at US taxpayer expense!

Obama was campaigning for a communist Muslim who signed a pact to enact Sharia Law, that’s enough. A POTUS who campaigned for an anti-american Muslim commie on foreign soil.

Gov. Sarah Palin Rally At Carson City, Calif. Tennis Stadium at Home Depot Center

Carson City is in the heart of Los Angeles County oil refining and chemical industry territory. It is the home of Hot Rod Derby, Demolition Derby and dirt track motorcycle and midget car racing.

The Home Depot Center is a 125-acre development in Carson, California, featuring state-of-the-art stadiums and facilities for soccer, tennis, track & field, cycling, lacrosse, rugby, volleyball, baseball, softball, basketball and other sports. Designated as an “Official U.S. Olympic Training Site,” The Home Depot Center is the nation’s most complete training facility for Olympic, amateur and professional athletes.

The crowd cheered when they saw the Israeli/US flag! Awesome moment at the event!

Dana Rohrbacher spoke and was connecting Palin to Reagan and Jimmy Steward from Mr. Smith Goes to Washington.

Jon Voight has really impressed me with his change in his politics. Jon Voight calls the Mark Levin’s show often. I don't get a chance to hear the show as much as I used to but when I do, a lot of the time Jon is calling in to his show.

The warm ups were energetic, former Treasury Sec. Rosario Marin and Actor Jon Voight.

In a surprising move, the California head of NOW introduced Sarah. She announced that she was a life long Dem, which drew boos from the crowd lol. She then gave a gracious and supportive introduction to Gov Palin. Sarah charged the stage with a huge smile and rocked the crowd with plenty of red meat and humor.

Sarah Palin started off with a line I will never forget, she said: I was drinking coffee out of my Starbucks Cup (Crowd Cheering) and on the cup there was a quote it read: “There is a special place reserved in hell for women that dont support other women”! Crowd cheering again, “And you know who the quote is from? She say’s Madeline Albright”! Crowd goes wild. Then she went on the attack and started in on Obama’s connections to Domestic terrorist Bill Ayres and others, Crowd goes wild again.

Sarah Palin told an enthusiastic crowd Saturday afternoon that it was time to “put on the heels and take off the gloves.”

And while she credited the line to a campaign worker, it and the rest of her 24-minute speech at the Home Depot Center rally was delivered like only Sarah can.

“For millions of Californians, this is still Reagan country and we’re here to take it back,” she said.

During her speech there were about five or six Obamabots escorted out by Sheriffs as the crowd chanted USA. Sarah riffed on one, saying something like "we fight for their freedoms as well" Crowd loved it!

Obama cultists protesting the appearance of Sarah yelling " NO USA! No USA! " ..... Palin supporters were chanting USA, USA, to whatever the cultists were saying.

Palin praised running mate John McCain and criticized Democratic presidential nominee Barack Obama while spelling out the goals of a McCain-Palin administration during her speech before an overflow crowd.

As you saw in my other post, the video, Sarah brought up William Ayers connection to Obama. She said that the Ayers information came from the NY Times .
Obama and ’60s Bomber: A Look Into Crossed Paths
New York Times
October 3, 2008

Home Depot Center officials estimated as many as 20,000 people, jammed into the 8,000-seat capacity facility and an overflow area, attended the rally.

This is when everyone was waiting to get into the arena.

The clouds threatened rain, and a few sprinkles fell while Sarah was talking, but heavier patch of sprinkles waited until after she finished her speech. Overall it was a great environment for the event.

When Sarah was done speaking the crowds rushed the stage, like we have seen before with rock stars. haha They LOVE her!

Saturday's event was Palin's first visit to Southern California since McCain named her as his running mate Aug. 29. The Alaska governor said her father was born in Los Angeles and her paternal grandfather was a photographer who lived in North Hollywood.

From Carson, Sarah went on to a fundraising dinner in the Costa Mesa area.

Wild Thing's comment.........

Home Depot?( giggle) Was Biden there? He claimed to hang out there in the debate. ( I know it is a different State but I could not resist heh heh)

Sarah was introduced by the President of the LA chapter of N.O.W.. Incredible. hahahahahaha

I lived in LA most all my life.. this kind of turn out there for Sarah will be makiing the liberals do a freaked out double take, 5000 would be big.. .....but 20,000???? HUGE, beyond HUGE!!

I got this from a friend that lives there and went to the rally:

"The ADT Center seats 27,000 for soccer. Even more for Tennis. They rolled out extra stands and made it a very tight fit. If there were less than 30,000 there, I will eat my lap top. LOL, OH and Sarah made it clear in today’s rally that the MSM is not to be trusted!!!! Punctuated by the same sentiments by Jon Voight. THEN, I go looking for my car which if you have ever been to Cal State Dominguez Hills you know there are a million parking lots and ya better write down where you parked if you expect to find it!

Well like an ass I didnt, I was walking and walking and walking again and then I ran into one of the employees for the event and I asked him approximately where I was. He say's Ma'am you are going to have to step off the road, I said why? What's going on? He said "Sarah Palin's motorcade is coming"! I said NO WAY! So I just stood there next to this guy waiting and sure enough here comes her motorcade, I start waving like a lunatic lol and then all the sudden there she was! Not 2 feet from me! She looked at me, smiled and waved at me! AT ME! I was like I dont believe this! She made eye contact with me! And was just as natural as could be!

I was so excited, then I really forgot where my car was and was walking and walking blisters on my feet and all, and then one of those golf cart driving people came up to me and told me to get in and they helped me find my car.

Needless to say every blister on my feet was worth it. What an awesome day! "

.....Thank you RAC and thank you Brian for these added photos.

RAC has a website that is awesome. 336th Assault Helicopter Company

13th Combat Aviation Battalion - 1st Aviation Brigade - Soc Trang, Republic of Vietnam

These added photos came from RAC's son Brain. Thank you Brain for taking these photos. Brain was able to go to the rally and he is a Reagan Conservative like Nicholas and I are. yipeeee Brian!

I urge everyone to tape this and make copies, send it to friends and family. There are people that need to go to jail for this. There is one person in particular that cannot win the presidency because of this - that is Obama.

It went all the way back to the depressions New Deal and moved right up to Barney Frank and Dodd. It also linked Obama to the radical group Acorn, Fanny May, and Freddie Mac.

It layed out in great detail how we got into this mess step by step in a timeline format. It named names as to just who benefited and HOW MUCH they benefited. It showed how the Democrats stopped a bill that would have prevented the mess we are in now.

God Bless Fox news for reporting the truth of this mess!!

America needs to know which party is truly at the root of this historic economic scandal and which presidential candidate made a career of shaking down banks on behalf of ACORN...and it was not the republicans or John McCain.

After the crash of the stock market, the financial crisis lasted for years. Why, asked David Asman to an expert of this very subject, a woman named Amity Shlaes, wrote a book called “The Forgotten Men”, about the Great Depression that began after the fall of the stock market.

According to her, Roosevelt imposed more and more high taxes on businesses, which, rather than pay the taxes, closed their doors. Thus rampant unemployment at 20% arose and the depression actually went on until 1954.

This is very important to me. Because this is exactly what Barack Obama plans to do, raise taxes on businesses. How many businesses will close their doors this time and unemployment will rise? Will Barack Obama’s plan to raise taxes on businesses cause the next Great Depression?

It is one hour, and it goes very fast. Thank God for FOX!

Palin Criticizes Obama's 'Terrorist' Connection

Palin says Obama ‘palling around’ with terrorists......

‘This is not a man who sees America as you see America and as I see America’...

Wild Thing's comment...........

I think she is going to drive Obama crazy. I love it. She is a gem. She has been let loose. Go Sarah and Todd!

Obama is a thug and organizes thugs!!!! Gov. Sarah Palin accepted the nomination with the intention of winning and has engaged the democrats.

What do Obama and Osama have in common? They both have friends who tried to blow up the Pentagon.

Obama also hung around with Frank Marshall Davis, CPUSA traitor and child molester, Charles Manson admirer Bernadine Dohrn, Mark Rudd (works for Obama’s campaign)and of course hundreds of Chicago political criminals like the Daley crime Family, Rezko, Emil Jones, Larry Walsh (Barns for Obama), Penny Prizker ad nauseum.

There is a guy named Jack Cahill is making a pretty compelling case that terrorist Ayers ghost-wrote at least one of Obama’s books.

I have one thing for all us to remember, PRAY HARD for Sarah. Satan would like nothing more than to destroy this woman. She is the mouthpiece of truth and a warrior of God. Satan will, with arm of the media will do all they can to destroy her. Pray for her safety.

Pray that the Lord would give her strength and that he would lay waste her enemies. Pray for an army of angels to surround and fortify Sarah and Senator McCain. Both of our candidates need our prayers. Satan would love to destroy our country and he has an army of his own in the democrats, voters, media and Hollywood and politicans on the left.

Ad About Obama/ Rezko/Ayers/Wrigiht from Judicial Confirmation Network

The conservative Judicial Confirmation Network is running a TV ad tying Obama to not just Rezko, but William Ayers (now using cartoons to spread his ideas) and the bombastic Rev. Jeremiah Wright.

"We don't know who Barack Obama would choose" as a Supreme Court justice, the ad says, "but we know this. He chose as one of his first financial backers a slumlord now convicted on 16 counts of corruption. Obama chose as an associate a man who helped to bomb the Pentagon and said he 'didn't do enough.' And Obama chose as his pastor a man who has blamed America for the 9/11 attacks."

Tony Rezko is not your typical middle American.
He’s Antoin Rezko, Muslim from Syria.
It is positively amazing, Guiness World Record worthy to note

How many times Obama’s path has accidentally stumbled upon Muslims.
His father and stepfather.
His half sister Maya , daughter of Lolo Soetoro, Indonesian Muslim.
All his college roommates were Muslims.
Both at Columbia and at Occidental College.
The same group of Muslims shepherded Obama on his grand tour of Pakistan.
His Kenyan relatives and those he campaigned for in Kenya-Raila Odingo.
And his financial patron-Antoin Rezko.
And that’s just the Arab Muslims.
The Black Muslims are another chapter.
As are ACORN and domestic terrorists.

Wild Thing's comment............

A lot of people are aware of these things and VERY concerned, and for good reason...we had 9-11 because of a series of muslim infiltrations thanks to the likes of Clinton, Gorelick, etc. so it makes perfect sense Obama has been groomed for a takeover from within.

Obama can deny all he wants but the truth exists and the more people that get informed about just the kind of dangerous man Obama is, with criminal friends and terrorists as his associations the better.

4 Weathermen Terrorists Declare Support for Affirmative-Action Candidate Obama

4 Weathermen terrorists declare support for Obama

By Aaron Klein

The names of four former top leaders of the Weathermen terrorist organization are listed as signatories on an online petition calling for an "independent grassroots effort" to help strengthen Sen. Barack Obama's campaign.

The petition was initiated by Progressives for Obama, an independent organization acting to ensure the Illinois senator's election.

Progressives includes among its ranks many former members of the 1960s radical organization Students for a Democratic Society, or SDS, from which the Weathermen splintered, as well as current and former members of other radical organizations, such as the Communist Party USA and the Black Radical Congress.

"We agree that Barack Obama is our best option for president in 2008, and that an independent grassroots effort can help strengthen his campaign," states the online petition. "It can also strengthen the mandate for his programs for stopping war, promoting global justice and securing our rights, liberties, and economic well-being."

Among the names signed onto the petition are former Weathermen leaders Howard Machtinger, Jeff Jones, Steve Tappis and Mark Rudd.

Machtinger was a Weathermen founder and was co-author of the terror group's original mission statement, which called for "revolutionaries within the United States to wage a 'people's war' and attack from within. The government would fall and 'world communism' eventually would be instituted."

Jones, according to his own website, was "elected, along with (Weathermen terrorist) Bill Ayers and Mark Rudd, to the SDS national office. Then, in the spring of 1970, he disappeared. As a leader of the Weather Underground, Jeff evaded an intense FBI manhunt for more than a decade. In 1981, they finally got him. Twenty special agents battered down the door of the Bronx apartment where he was living with his wife and four-year-old son."

Jones' site says he traveled to Cambodia in 1966 to meet with high-level leaders of the anti-American National Liberation Front. In 1967 and 1968 he served as an SDS regional organizer for New York City.

Tappis was one of 11 people who signed the original Weathermen statement, which was infamously titled, "You Don't Need a Weatherman to Know Which Way the Wind Blows."

Rudd, a petition supporter as well as a main signatory to the Progressives for Obama group, was one of the main founders of the Weathermen terrorist organization. A biography published on his website explains Rudd worked to form the Weathermen as a radical alternative to the SDS and for white Americans to eject their "white skin privilege" and begin "armed struggle" against the U.S. government.

Rudd went underground in 1970, when a bomb exploded in a townhouse in Greenwich Village in New York City, killing three of his comrades. He lived for seven and a half years in hiding as a fugitive, finally surrendering in 1977, facing only low-level state charges after federal charges against Weathermen leaders had been dropped. He resurfaced as a teacher in New Mexico.

As late as 2005, Rudd wrote an editorial in the Los Angeles Times lamenting the state of the antiwar movement in the U.S.

"What's hard to understand – given the revelations about the rush to war, the use of torture and the loss of more than 2,000 soldiers – is why the antiwar movement isn't further along than it is," he wrote. "Given that President Bush is now talking about Iraq as only one skirmish in an unlimited struggle against a global Islamic enemy, a struggle comparable to the titanic, 40-year Cold War against communism, shouldn't a massive critique of the global war on terrorism already be underway?"

Former Weathermen member Mark Rudd

In the piece, Rudd condemned the Weathermen's decision to embark on an "armed-struggle," calling it "stupid" since the violent acts led to the group's demise. But he didn't condemn the terrorism itself, only its contribution to the downfall of the Weathermen.

All former Weathermen leaders who signed the pro-Obama petition worked closely for years with Weathermen terrorist William Ayers, whose association with Obama has generated controversy for the presidential candidate.

Trevor Louden of the New Zeal blog commented, "Clearly Bill Ayers and his wife, Bernardine Dohrn, are not the only former Weathermen backing Obama. Add their old comrades Jeff Jones, Howie Machtinger, Mark Rudd and even Steve Tappis to the mix and you are starting to get beyond coincidence. That former terrorists are working with Marxist groups to elect Barack Obama is beyond doubt."

Gov. Sarah Palin Cleaned Biden's Clock! Photos and Transcript

Way to go Sarah! Great Job!

WE LOVE YOU!!!

Palin Field Dressed Biden (Obama your delaware meat is cleaned, cut, wrapped and ready for pick up)

Governor Palin kicked Biden's butt.
Sarah Palin was excellent-on her game & very sharp.

She is beautiful, smart and sharp soooo sharp, I LOVE how she hit Biden with zingers........ She zapped him with a twinkle in her eyes and a smile on her face. She was a natural at this, and excelled, not nervous and you could see her smile grow as Biden talked like she could hardly wait to come back and say something.

Sarah totally won. She was so down to earth. She looked all of America straight in the eye when she spoke. And did it in a no nonsense way and WON on every answer, every reply.

Joe Biden didn't know what hit him.

“I like to talk to the American people without the filter of the mainstream media....”

WHOOHOO!!!!!!!

Brilliant! Stunning! Fabulous! I cried at her closing statement. Lord, thank you for hearing our prayers.

Gov. Palin has SURPRISED Joe Biden with her eloquence, knowledge, and sheer polital cunning WHILE she is APPEALING to the American people.

She did well on foreign policy.

Did anyone else hear Biden when he kept doing DEEP sighs??????????? I think that is from stress, he is really stressed out from this.

"Say it an't so Joe".....LOL oh my gawd she said that. Reagan did that too. hahahhaha
Sarah Palin invoked REAGAN!
She got him several times:

Biden LIED!
General David McKiernan, commander of NATO Forces in Afghanistan met with the President yesterday and the General recommended a surge in that country and President Bush approved.

Let me say that again, Joe--you LIED!

“There’s far to much pointing fingers and looking backwards for us to believe that you really represent change” --Sarah Palin quote

She unnerved him and she is cool, calm, and collected. What she did, was one of the most awesome ways to attack imo, hit hard but bring the other person into it so they have to agree in part with what she said making Biden lsow up for what he is. See in the video how he nods and has to agree with her, that killed him to have to do that. heh heh She had the ammo because she knew what Biden had said in the past and she made sure she used that ammo at just the right time. Tah dah!

She is informed, articulate, and most of all, she's herself.

If you would like to read or copy the transcript of the debate .....PLEASE CLICK AND POST WILL OPEN FOR YOU.....

Following is a transcript of the vice-presidential debate between Senator Joseph R. Biden Jr. and Gov. Sarah Palin in St. Louis, as recorded by CQ Transcriptions:

Whooo Hooo! She quoted the “Air Raiding Villages comment” that Obama had made.

Sarah: "We've got to win in Iraq." "We've got to grow our military." "We must defeat Al-Queada."
Yes!

Biden: "We've got to have timelines. We will end this war."

Sarah: "Your plan is a white flag of surrender in Iraq. You guys opposed the surge."

GO, PITBULL!

Loved the “white flag of surrender” comment! I started clapping! Joe blew it on the troop funding comment...good,McCain voted NO because he did NOT want timelines! And that was the deal in the bill about funding the troops. McCain wanted it out of there.

Smackdown
"PALIN: I'm still on the tax thing because I want to correct you on that again. And I want to let you know what I did as a mayor and as a governor. And I may not answer the questions that either the moderator or you want to hear..."

PLEASE CLICK LINK BELOW for TRANSCRIPT from Palin and Biden Debate---- Thank you, Wild Thing

GWEN IFILL: Good evening from Washington University in St. Louis, Missouri. I'm Gwen Ifill of "The NewsHour" and "Washington Week" on PBS. Welcome to the first and the only 2008 vice presidential debate between the Republican nominee, Governor Sarah Palin of Alaska, and the Democratic nominee, Joe Biden of Delaware.

The Commission on Presidential Debates is the sponsor of this event and the two remaining presidential debates. Tonight's discussion will cover a wide range of topics, including domestic and foreign policy matters.

It will be divided roughly into five-minute segments. Each candidate will have 90 seconds to respond to a direct question and then an additional two minutes for rebuttal and follow-up. The order has been determined by a coin toss.

The specific subjects and questions were chosen by me and have not been shared or cleared with anyone on the campaigns or on the commission. The audience here in the hall has promised to remain very polite, no cheers, applause, no untoward outbursts, except right at this minute now, as we welcome Governor Palin and Senator Biden.

(APPLAUSE)

PALIN: Nice to meet you.

BIDEN: It's a pleasure.

PALIN: Hey, can I call you Joe?

BIDEN: (OFF-MIKE)

PALIN: Thank you.

Thank you, Gwen. Thank you. Thank you.

IFILL: Welcome to you both.

As we have determined by a coin toss, the first question will go to Senator Biden, with a 90-second follow-up from Governor Palin.

The House of Representatives this week passed a bill, a big bailout bill -- or didn't pass it, I should say. The Senate decided to pass it, and the House is wrestling with it still tonight.

As America watches these things happen on Capitol Hill, Senator Biden, was this the worst of Washington or the best of Washington that we saw play out?

BIDEN: Let me begin by thanking you, Gwen, for hosting this.

And, Governor, it's a pleasure to meet you, and it's a pleasure to be with you.

I think it's neither the best or worst of Washington, but it's evidence of the fact that the economic policies of the last eight years have been the worst economic policies we've ever had. As a consequence, you've seen what's happened on Wall Street.

If you need any more proof positive of how bad the economic theories have been, this excessive deregulation, the failure to oversee what was going on, letting Wall Street run wild, I don't think you needed any more evidence than what you see now.

So the Congress has been put -- Democrats and Republicans have been put in a very difficult spot. But Barack Obama laid out four basic criteria for any kind of rescue plan here.

He, first of all, said there has to be oversight. We're not going to write any check to anybody unless there's oversight for the -- of the secretary of Treasury.

He secondly said you have to focus on homeowners and folks on Main Street.

Thirdly, he said that you have to treat the taxpayers like investors in this case.

And, lastly, what you have to do is make sure that CEOs don't benefit from this, because this could end up, in the long run, people making money off of this rescue plan.

And so, as a consequence of that, it brings us back to maybe the fundamental disagreement between Governor Palin and me and Senator McCain and Barack Obama, and that is that the -- we're going to fundamentally change the focus of the economic policy.

We're going to focus on the middle class, because it's -- when the middle class is growing, the economy grows and everybody does well, not just focus on the wealthy and corporate America.

IFILL: Thank you, Senator.

Governor Palin?

PALIN: Thank you, Gwen. And I thank the commission, also. I appreciate this privilege of being able to be here and speak with Americans.

You know, I think a good barometer here, as we try to figure out has this been a good time or a bad time in America's economy, is go to a kid's soccer game on Saturday, and turn to any parent there on the sideline and ask them, "How are you feeling about the economy?"

And I'll bet you, you're going to hear some fear in that parent's voice, fear regarding the few investments that some of us have in the stock market. Did we just take a major hit with those investments?

Fear about, how are we going to afford to send our kids to college? A fear, as small-business owners, perhaps, how we're going to borrow any money to increase inventory or hire more people.

The barometer there, I think, is going to be resounding that our economy is hurting and the federal government has not provided the sound oversight that we need and that we deserve, and we need reform to that end.

Now, John McCain thankfully has been one representing reform. Two years ago, remember, it was John McCain who pushed so hard with the Fannie Mae (NYSE:FNM) and Freddie Mac (NYSE:FRE) reform measures. He sounded that warning bell.

People in the Senate with him, his colleagues, didn't want to listen to him and wouldn't go towards that reform that was needed then. I think that the alarm has been heard, though, and there will be that greater oversight, again thanks to John McCain's bipartisan efforts that he was so instrumental in bringing folks together over this past week, even suspending his own campaign to make sure he was putting excessive politics aside and putting the country first.

IFILL: You both would like to be vice president.

Senator Biden, how, as vice president, would you work to shrink this gap of polarization which has sprung up in Washington, which you both have spoken about here tonight?

BIDEN: Well, that's what I've done my whole career, Gwen, on very, very controversial issues, from dealing with violence against women, to putting 100,000 police officers on the street, to trying to get something done about the genocide in -- that was going on in Bosnia.

And I -- I have been able to reach across the aisle. I think it's fair to say that I have almost as many friends on the Republican side of the aisle as I do the Democratic side of the aisle.

But am I able to respond to -- are we able to stay on the -- on the topic?

IFILL: You may, if you like.

BIDEN: Yes, well, you know, until two weeks ago -- it was two Mondays ago John McCain said at 9 o'clock in the morning that the fundamentals of the economy were strong. Two weeks before that, he said George -- we've made great economic progress under George Bush's policies.

Nine o'clock, the economy was strong. Eleven o'clock that same day, two Mondays ago, John McCain said that we have an economic crisis.

That doesn't make John McCain a bad guy, but it does point out he's out of touch. Those folks on the sidelines knew that two months ago.

IFILL: Governor Palin, you may respond.

PALIN: John McCain, in referring to the fundamental of our economy being strong, he was talking to and he was talking about the American workforce. And the American workforce is the greatest in this world, with the ingenuity and the work ethic that is just entrenched in our workforce. That's a positive. That's encouragement. And that's what John McCain meant.

Now, what I've done as a governor and as a mayor is (inaudible) I've had that track record of reform. And I've joined this team that is a team of mavericks with John McCain, also, with his track record of reform, where we're known for putting partisan politics aside to just get the job done.

Now, Barack Obama, of course, he's pretty much only voted along his party lines. In fact, 96 percent of his votes have been solely along party line, not having that proof for the American people to know that his commitment, too, is, you know, put the partisanship, put the special interests aside, and get down to getting business done for the people of America.

We're tired of the old politics as usual. And that's why, with all due respect, I do respect your years in the U.S. Senate, but I think Americans are craving something new and different and that new energy and that new commitment that's going to come with reform.

I think that's why we need to send the maverick from the Senate and put him in the White House, and I'm happy to join him there.

IFILL: Governor, Senator, neither of you really answered that last question about what you would do as vice president. I'm going to come back to that...

(LAUGHTER)

... throughout the evening to try to see if we can look forward, as well.

Now, let's talk about -- the next question is to talk about the subprime lending meltdown.

Who do you think was at fault? I start with you, Governor Palin. Was it the greedy lenders? Was it the risky home-buyers who shouldn't have been buying a home in the first place? And what should you be doing about it?

PALIN: Darn right it was the predator lenders, who tried to talk Americans into thinking that it was smart to buy a $300,000 house if we could only afford a $100,000 house. There was deception there, and there was greed and there is corruption on Wall Street. And we need to stop that.

Again, John McCain and I, that commitment that we have made, and we're going to follow through on that, getting rid of that corruption.

PALIN: One thing that Americans do at this time, also, though, is let's commit ourselves just every day American people, Joe Six Pack, hockey moms across the nation, I think we need to band together and say never again. Never will we be exploited and taken advantage of again by those who are managing our money and loaning us these dollars. We need to make sure that we demand from the federal government strict oversight of those entities in charge of our investments and our savings and we need also to not get ourselves in debt. Let's do what our parents told us before we probably even got that first credit card. Don't live outside of our means. We need to make sure that as individuals we're taking personal responsibility through all of this. It's not the American peoples fault that the economy is hurting like it is, but we have an opportunity to learn a heck of a lot of good lessons through this and say never again will we be taken advantage of.

IFILL: Senator?

BIDEN: Well Gwen, two years ago Barack Obama warned about the sub prime mortgage crisis. John McCain said shortly after that in December he was surprised there was a sub prime mortgage problem. John McCain while Barack Obama was warning about what we had to do was literally giving an interview to "The Wall Street Journal" saying that I'm always for cutting regulations. We let Wall Street run wild. John McCain and he's a good man, but John McCain thought the answer is that tried and true Republican response, deregulate, deregulate.

So what you had is you had overwhelming "deregulation." You had actually the belief that Wall Street could self-regulate itself. And while Barack Obama was talking about reinstating those regulations, John on 20 different occasions in the previous year and a half called for more deregulation. As a matter of fact, John recently wrote an article in a major magazine saying that he wants to do for the health care industry deregulate it and let the free market move like he did for the banking industry.

So deregulation was the promise. And guess what? Those people who say don't go into debt, they can barely pay to fill up their gas tank. I was recently at my local gas station and asked a guy named Joey Danco (ph). I said Joey, how much did it cost to fill your tank? You know what his answer was? He said I don't know, Joe. I never have enough money to do it. The middle class needs relief, tax relief. They need it now. They need help now. The focus will change with Barack Obama.

IFILL: Governor, please if you want to respond to what he said about Senator McCain's comments about health care?

PALIN: I would like to respond about the tax increases. We can speak in agreement here that darn right we need tax relief for Americans so that jobs can be created here. Now, Barack Obama and Senator Biden also voted for the largest tax increases in U.S. history. Barack had 94 opportunities to side on the people's side and reduce taxes and 94 times he voted to increase taxes or not support a tax reduction, 94 times.

Now, that's not what we need to create jobs and really bolster and heat up our economy. We do need the private sector to be able to keep more of what we earn and produce. Government is going to have to learn to be more efficient and live with less if that's what it takes to reign in the government growth that we've seen today. But we do need tax relief and Barack Obama even supported increasing taxes as late as last year for those families making only $42,000 a year. That's a lot of middle income average American families to increase taxes on them. I think that is the way to kill jobs and to continue to harm our economy.

IFILL: Senator?

BIDEN: The charge is absolutely not true. Barack Obama did not vote to raise taxes. The vote she's referring to, John McCain voted the exact same way. It was a budget procedural vote. John McCain voted the same way. It did not raise taxes. Number two, using the standard that the governor uses, John McCain voted 477 times to raise taxes. It's a bogus standard it but if you notice, Gwen, the governor did not answer the question about deregulation, did not answer the question of defending John McCain about not going along with the deregulation, letting Wall Street run wild. He did support deregulation almost across the board. That's why we got into so much trouble.

IFILL: Would you like to have an opportunity to answer that before we move on?

PALIN: I'm still on the tax thing because I want to correct you on that again. And I want to let you know what I did as a mayor and as a governor. And I may not answer the questions that either the moderator or you want to hear, but I'm going to talk straight to the American people and let them know my track record also. As mayor, every year I was in office I did reduce taxes. I eliminated personal property taxes and eliminated small business inventory taxes and as governor we suspended our state fuel tax. We did all of those things knowing that that is how our economy would be heated up. Now, as for John McCain's adherence to rules and regulations and pushing for even harder and tougher regulations, that is another thing that he is known for though. Look at the tobacco industry. Look at campaign finance reform.

IFILL: OK, our time is up here. We've got to move to the next question. Senator Biden, we want to talk about taxes, let's talk about taxes. You proposed raising taxes on people who earn over $250,000 a year. The question for you is, why is that not class warfare and the same question for you, Governor Palin, is you have proposed a tax employer health benefits which some studies say would actually throw five million more people onto the roles of the uninsured. I want to know why that isn't taking things out on the poor, starting with you, Senator Biden.

BIDEN: Well Gwen, where I come from, it's called fairness, just simple fairness. The middle class is struggling. The middle class under John McCain's tax proposal, 100 million families, middle class families, households to be precise, they got not a single change, they got not a single break in taxes. No one making less than $250,000 under Barack Obama's plan will see one single penny of their tax raised whether it's their capital gains tax, their income tax, investment tax, any tax. And 95 percent of the people in the United States of America making less than $150,000 will get a tax break.

Now, that seems to me to be simple fairness. The economic engine of America is middle class. It's the people listening to this broadcast. When you do well, America does well. Even the wealthy do well. This is not punitive. John wants to add $300 million, billion in new tax cuts per year for corporate America and the very wealthy while giving virtually nothing to the middle class. We have a different value set. The middle class is the economic engine. It's fair. They deserve the tax breaks, not the super wealthy who are doing pretty well. They don't need any more tax breaks. And by the way, they'll pay no more than they did under Ronald Reagan.

IFILL: Governor?

PALIN: I do take issue with some of the principle there with that redistribution of wealth principle that seems to be espoused by you. But when you talk about Barack's plan to tax increase affecting only those making $250,000 a year or more, you're forgetting millions of small businesses that are going to fit into that category. So they're going to be the ones paying higher taxes thus resulting in fewer jobs being created and less productivity.

Now you said recently that higher taxes or asking for higher taxes or paying higher taxes is patriotic. In the middle class of America which is where Todd and I have been all of our lives, that's not patriotic. Patriotic is saying, government, you know, you're not always the solution. In fact, too often you're the problem so, government, lessen the tax burden and on our families and get out of the way and let the private sector and our families grow and thrive and prosper. An increased tax formula that Barack Obama is proposing in addition to nearly a trillion dollars in new spending that he's proposing is the backwards way of trying to grow our economy.

IFILL: Governor, are you interested in defending Senator McCain's health care plan?

PALIN: I am because he's got a good health care plan that is detailed. And I want to give you a couple details on that. He's proposing a $5,000 tax credit for families so that they can get out there and they can purchase their own health care coverage. That's a smart thing to do. That's budget neutral. That doesn't cost the government anything as opposed to Barack Obama's plan to mandate health care coverage and have universal government run program and unless you're pleased with the way the federal government has been running anything lately, I don't think that it's going to be real pleasing for Americans to consider health care being taken over by the feds. But a $5,000 health care credit through our income tax that's budget neutral. That's going to help. And he also wants to erase those artificial lines between states so that through competition, we can cross state lines and if there's a better plan offered somewhere else, we would be able to purchase that. So affordability and accessibility will be the keys there with that $5,000 tax credit also being offered.

IFILL: Thank you, governor. Senator?

BIDEN: Gwen, I don't know where to start. We don't call a redistribution in my neighborhood Scranton, Claymont, Wilmington, the places I grew up, to give the fair to say that not giving Exxon Mobil (NYSE:XOM) another $4 billion tax cut this year as John calls for and giving it to middle class people to be able to pay to get their kids to college, we don't call that redistribution. We call that fairness number one. Number two fact, 95 percent of the small businesses in America, their owners make less than $250,000 a year. They would not get one single solitary penny increase in taxes, those small businesses.

BIDEN: Now, with regard to the -- to the health care plan, you know, it's with one hand you giveth, the other you take it. You know how Barack Obama -- excuse me, do you know how John McCain pays for his $5,000 tax credit you're going to get, a family will get?

He taxes as income every one of you out there, every one of you listening who has a health care plan through your employer. That's how he raises $3.6 trillion, on your -- taxing your health care benefit to give you a $5,000 plan, which his Web site points out will go straight to the insurance company.

And then you're going to have to replace a $12,000 -- that's the average cost of the plan you get through your employer -- it costs $12,000. You're going to have to pay -- replace a $12,000 plan, because 20 million of you are going to be dropped. Twenty million of you will be dropped.

So you're going to have to place -- replace a $12,000 plan with a $5,000 check you just give to the insurance company. I call that the "Ultimate Bridge to Nowhere."

IFILL: Thank you, Senator.

Now...

(LAUGHTER)

... I want to get -- try to get you both to answer a question that neither of your principals quite answered when my colleague, Jim Lehrer, asked it last week, starting with you, Senator Biden.

What promises -- given the events of the week, the bailout plan, all of this, what promises have you and your campaigns made to the American people that you're not going to be able to keep?

BIDEN: Well, the one thing we might have to slow down is a commitment we made to double foreign assistance. We'll probably have to slow that down.

We also are going to make sure that we do not go forward with the tax cut proposals of the administration -- of John McCain, the existing one for people making over $250,000, which is $130 billion this year alone.

We're not going to support the $300 billion tax cut that they have for corporate America and the very wealthy. We're not going to support another $4 billion tax cut for ExxonMobil.

And what we're not going to also hold up on, Gwen, is we cannot afford to hold up on providing for incentives for new jobs by an energy policy, creating new jobs.

We cannot slow up on education, because that's the engine that is going to give us the economic growth and competitiveness that we need.

And we are not going to slow up on the whole idea of providing for affordable health care for Americans, none of which, when we get to talk about health care, is as my -- as the governor characterized -- characterized.

The bottom line here is that we are going to, in fact, eliminate those wasteful spending that exist in the budget right now, a number of things I don't have time, because the light is blinking, that I won't be able to mention, but one of which is the $100 billion tax dodge that, in fact, allows people to take their post office box off- shore, avoid taxes.

I call that unpatriotic. I call that unpatriotic.

IFILL: Governor?

BIDEN: That's what I'm talking about.

IFILL: Governor?

PALIN: Well, the nice thing about running with John McCain is I can assure you he doesn't tell one thing to one group and then turns around and tells something else to another group, including his plans that will make this bailout plan, this rescue plan, even better.

I want to go back to the energy plan, though, because this is -- this is an important one that Barack Obama, he voted for in '05.

Senator Biden, you would remember that, in that energy plan that Obama voted for, that's what gave those oil companies those big tax breaks. Your running mate voted for that.

You know what I had to do in the state of Alaska? I had to take on those oil companies and tell them, "No," you know, any of the greed there that has been kind of instrumental, I guess, in their mode of operation, that wasn't going to happen in my state.

And that's why Tillerson at Exxon and Mulva at ConocoPhillips (NYSE:COP) , bless their hearts, they're doing what they need to do, as corporate CEOs, but they're not my biggest fans, because what I had to do up there in Alaska was to break up a monopoly up there and say, you know, the people are going to come first and we're going to make sure that we have value given to the people of Alaska with those resources.

And those huge tax breaks aren't coming to the big multinational corporations anymore, not when it adversely affects the people who live in a state and, in this case, in a country who should be benefiting at the same time. So it was Barack Obama who voted for that energy plan that gave those tax breaks to the oil companies that I then had to turn around, as a governor of an energy-producing state, and kind of undo in my own area of expertise, and that's energy.

IFILL: So, Governor, as vice president, there's nothing that you have promised as a candidate that you would -- that you wouldn't take off the table because of this financial crisis we're in?

PALIN: There is not. And how long have I been at this, like five weeks? So there hasn't been a whole lot that I've promised, except to do what is right for the American people, put government back on the side of the American people, stop the greed and corruption on Wall Street.

And the rescue plan has got to include that massive oversight that Americans are expecting and deserving. And I don't believe that John McCain has made any promise that he would not be able to keep, either.

IFILL: Senator?

BIDEN: Again, let me -- let's talk about those tax breaks. Barack Obama -- Obama voted for an energy bill because, for the first time, it had real support for alternative energy. (OOTC:AEGC)

When there were separate votes on eliminating the tax breaks for the oil companies, Barack Obama voted to eliminate them. John did not.

And let me just ask a rhetorical question: If John really wanted to eliminate them, why is he adding to his budget an additional $4 billion in tax cuts for ExxonMobils of the world that, in fact, already have made $600 billion since 2001?

And, look, I agree with the governor. She imposed a windfall profits tax up there in Alaska. That's what Barack Obama and I want to do.

We want to be able to do for all of you Americans, give you back $1,000 bucks, like she's been able to give back money to her folks back there.

But John McCain will not support a windfall profits tax. They've made $600 billion since 2001, and John McCain wants to give them, all by itself -- separate, no additional bill, all by itself -- another $4 billion tax cut.

If that is not proof of what I say, I'm not sure what can be. So I hope the governor is able to convince John McCain to support our windfall profits tax, which she supported in Alaska, and I give her credit for it.

IFILL: Next question, Governor Palin, still on the economy. Last year, Congress passed a bill that would make it more difficult for debt-strapped mortgage-holders to declare bankruptcy, to get out from under that debt. This is something that John McCain supported. Would you have?

PALIN: Yes, I would have. But here, again, there have -- there have been so many changes in the conditions of our economy in just even these past weeks that there has been more and more revelation made aware now to Americans about the corruption and the greed on Wall Street.

We need to look back, even two years ago, and we need to be appreciative of John McCain's call for reform with Fannie Mae, with Freddie Mac, with the mortgage-lenders, too, who were starting to really kind of rear that head of abuse.

And the colleagues in the Senate weren't going to go there with him. So we have John McCain to thank for at least warning people. And we also have John McCain to thank for bringing in a bipartisan effort people to the table so that we can start putting politics aside, even putting a campaign aside, and just do what's right to fix this economic problem that we are in.

It is a crisis. It's a toxic mess, really, on Main Street that's affecting Wall Street. And now we have to be ever vigilant and also making sure that credit markets don't seize up. That's where the Main Streeters like me, that's where we would really feel the effects.

IFILL: Senator Biden, you voted for this bankruptcy bill. Senator Obama voted against it. Some people have said that mortgage- holders really paid the price.

BIDEN: Well, mortgage-holders didn't pay the price. Only 10 percent of the people who are -- have been affected by this whole switch from Chapter 7 to Chapter 13 -- it gets complicated.

But the point of this -- Barack Obama saw the glass as half- empty. I saw it as half-full. We disagreed on that, and 85 senators voted one way, and 15 voted the other way.

But here's the deal. Barack Obama pointed out two years ago that there was a subprime mortgage crisis and wrote to the secretary of Treasury. And he said, "You'd better get on the stick here. You'd better look at it."

John McCain said as early as last December, quote -- I'm paraphrasing -- "I'm surprised about this subprime mortgage crisis," number one.

Number two, with regard to bankruptcy now, Gwen, what we should be doing now -- and Barack Obama and I support it -- we should be allowing bankruptcy courts to be able to re-adjust not just the interest rate you're paying on your mortgage to be able to stay in your home, but be able to adjust the principal that you owe, the principal that you owe.

That would keep people in their homes, actually help banks by keeping it from going under. But John McCain, as I understand it -- I'm not sure of this, but I believe John McCain and the governor don't support that. There are ways to help people now. And there -- ways that we're offering are not being supported by -- by the Bush administration nor do I believe by John McCain and Governor Palin.

IFILL: Governor Palin, is that so?

PALIN: That is not so, but because that's just a quick answer, I want to talk about, again, my record on energy versus your ticket's energy ticket, also.

I think that this is important to come back to, with that energy policy plan again that was voted for in '05.

When we talk about energy, we have to consider the need to do all that we can to allow this nation to become energy independent.

It's a nonsensical position that we are in when we have domestic supplies of energy all over this great land. And East Coast politicians who don't allow energy-producing states like Alaska to produce these, to tap into them, and instead we're relying on foreign countries to produce for us.

PALIN: We're circulating about $700 billion a year into foreign countries, some who do not like America -- they certainly don't have our best interests at heart -- instead of those dollars circulating here, creating tens of thousands of jobs and allowing domestic supplies of energy to be tapped into and start flowing into these very, very hungry markets.

Energy independence is the key to this nation's future, to our economic future, and to our national security. So when we talk about energy plans, it's not just about who got a tax break and who didn't. And we're not giving oil companies tax breaks, but it's about a heck of a lot more than that.

Energy independence is the key to America's future.

IFILL: Governor, I'm happy to talk to you in this next section about energy issues. Let's talk about climate change. What is true and what is false about what we have heard, read, discussed, debated about the causes of climate change?

PALIN: Yes. Well, as the nation's only Arctic state and being the governor of that state, Alaska feels and sees impacts of climate change more so than any other state. And we know that it's real.

I'm not one to attribute every man -- activity of man to the changes in the climate. There is something to be said also for man's activities, but also for the cyclical temperature changes on our planet.

But there are real changes going on in our climate. And I don't want to argue about the causes. What I want to argue about is, how are we going to get there to positively affect the impacts?

We have got to clean up this planet. We have got to encourage other nations also to come along with us with the impacts of climate change, what we can do about that.

As governor, I was the first governor to form a climate change sub-cabinet to start dealing with the impacts. We've got to reduce emissions. John McCain is right there with an "all of the above" approach to deal with climate change impacts.

We've got to become energy independent for that reason. Also as we rely more and more on other countries that don't care as much about the climate as we do, we're allowing them to produce and to emit and even pollute more than America would ever stand for. So even in dealing with climate change, it's all the more reason that we have an "all of the above" approach, tapping into alternative sources of energy and conserving fuel, conserving our petroleum products and our hydrocarbons so that we can clean up this planet and deal with climate change.

IFILL: Senator, what is true and what is false about the causes?

BIDEN: Well, I think it is manmade. I think it's clearly manmade. And, look, this probably explains the biggest fundamental difference between John McCain and Barack Obama and Sarah Palin and Joe Biden -- Governor Palin and Joe Biden.

If you don't understand what the cause is, it's virtually impossible to come up with a solution. We know what the cause is. The cause is manmade. That's the cause. That's why the polar icecap is melting.

Now, let's look at the facts. We have 3 percent of the world's oil reserves. We consume 25 percent of the oil in the world. John McCain has voted 20 times in the last decade-and-a-half against funding alternative energy sources, clean energy sources, wind, solar, biofuels.

The way in which we can stop the greenhouse gases from emitting. We believe -- Barack Obama believes by investing in clean coal and safe nuclear, we can not only create jobs in wind and solar here in the United States, we can export it.

China is building one to three new coal-fired plants burning dirty coal per week. It's polluting not only the atmosphere but the West Coast of the United States. We should export the technology by investing in clean coal technology.

We should be creating jobs. John McCain has voted 20 times against funding alternative energy sources and thinks, I guess, the only answer is drill, drill, drill. Drill we must, but it will take 10 years for one drop of oil to come out of any of the wells that are going to begun to be drilled.

In the meantime, we're all going to be in real trouble.

IFILL: Let me clear something up, Senator McCain has said he supports caps on carbon emissions. Senator Obama has said he supports clean coal technology, which I don't believe you've always supported.

BIDEN: I have always supported it. That's a fact.

IFILL: Well, clear it up for us, both of you, and start with Governor Palin.

PALIN: Yes, Senator McCain does support this. The chant is "drill, baby, drill." And that's what we hear all across this country in our rallies because people are so hungry for those domestic sources of energy to be tapped into. They know that even in my own energy-producing state we have billions of barrels of oil and hundreds of trillions of cubic feet of clean, green natural gas. And we're building a nearly $40 billion natural gas pipeline which is North America's largest and most you expensive infrastructure project ever to flow those sources of energy into hungry markets.

Barack Obama and Senator Biden, you've said no to everything in trying to find a domestic solution to the energy crisis that we're in. You even called drilling -- safe, environmentally-friendly drilling offshore as raping the outer continental shelf.

There -- with new technology, with tiny footprints even on land, it is safe to drill and we need to do more of that. But also in that "all of the above" approach that Senator McCain supports, the alternative fuels will be tapped into: the nuclear, the clean coal.

I was surprised to hear you mention that because you had said that there isn't anything -- such a thing as clean coal. And I think you said it in a rope line, too, at one of your rallies.

IFILL: We do need to keep within our two minutes. But I just wanted to ask you, do you support capping carbon emissions?

PALIN: I do. I do.

IFILL: OK. And on the clean coal issue?

BIDEN: Absolutely. Absolutely we do. We call for setting hard targets, number one...

IFILL: Clean coal.

BIDEN: Oh, I'm sorry.

IFILL: On clean coal.

BIDEN: Oh, on clean coal. My record, just take a look at the record. My record for 25 years has supported clean coal technology. A comment made in a rope line was taken out of context. I was talking about exporting that technology to China so when they burn their dirty coal, it won't be as dirty, it will be clean.

But here's the bottom line, Gwen: How do we deal with global warming with continued addition to carbon emissions? And if the only answer you have is oil, and John -- and the governor says John is for everything.

Well, why did John vote 20 times? Maybe he's for everything as long as it's not helped forward by the government. Maybe he's for everything if the free market takes care of it. I don't know. But he voted 20 times against funding alternative energy sources.

IFILL: The next round of -- pardon me, the next round of questions starts with you, Senator Biden. Do you support, as they do in Alaska, granting same-sex benefits to couples? BIDEN: Absolutely. Do I support granting same-sex benefits? Absolutely positively. Look, in an Obama-Biden administration, there will be absolutely no distinction from a constitutional standpoint or a legal standpoint between a same-sex and a heterosexual couple.

The fact of the matter is that under the Constitution we should be granted -- same-sex couples should be able to have visitation rights in the hospitals, joint ownership of property, life insurance policies, et cetera. That's only fair.

It's what the Constitution calls for. And so we do support it. We do support making sure that committed couples in a same-sex marriage are guaranteed the same constitutional benefits as it relates to their property rights, their rights of visitation, their rights to insurance, their rights of ownership as heterosexual couples do.

IFILL: Governor, would you support expanding that beyond Alaska to the rest of the nation?

PALIN: Well, not if it goes closer and closer towards redefining the traditional definition of marriage between one man and one woman. And unfortunately that's sometimes where those steps lead.

But I also want to clarify, if there's any kind of suggestion at all from my answer that I would be anything but tolerant of adults in America choosing their partners, choosing relationships that they deem best for themselves, you know, I am tolerant and I have a very diverse family and group of friends and even within that group you would see some who may not agree with me on this issue, some very dear friends who don't agree with me on this issue.

But in that tolerance also, no one would ever propose, not in a McCain-Palin administration, to do anything to prohibit, say, visitations in a hospital or contracts being signed, negotiated between parties.

But I will tell Americans straight up that I don't support defining marriage as anything but between one man and one woman, and I think through nuances we can go round and round about what that actually means.

But I'm being as straight up with Americans as I can in my non- support for anything but a traditional definition of marriage.

IFILL: Let's try to avoid nuance, Senator. Do you support gay marriage?

BIDEN: No. Barack Obama nor I support redefining from a civil side what constitutes marriage. We do not support that. That is basically the decision to be able to be able to be left to faiths and people who practice their faiths the determination what you call it.

The bottom line though is, and I'm glad to hear the governor, I take her at her word, obviously, that she think there should be no civil rights distinction, none whatsoever, between a committed gay couple and a committed heterosexual couple. If that's the case, we really don't have a difference.

IFILL: Is that what your said?

PALIN: Your question to him was whether he supported gay marriage and my answer is the same as his and it is that I do not.

IFILL: Wonderful. You agree. On that note, let's move to foreign policy.

(LAUGHTER)

IFILL: You both have sons who are in Iraq or on their way to Iraq. You, Governor Palin, have said that you would like to see a real clear plan for an exit strategy. What should that be, Governor?

PALIN: I am very thankful that we do have a good plan and the surge and the counterinsurgency strategy in Iraq that has proven to work, I am thankful that that is part of the plan implemented under a great American hero, General Petraeus, and pushed hard by another great American, Senator John McCain.

I know that the other ticket opposed this surge, in fact, even opposed funding for our troops in Iraq and Afghanistan. Barack Obama voted against funding troops there after promising that he would not do so.

PALIN: And Senator Biden, I respected you when you called him out on that. You said that his vote was political and you said it would cost lives. And Barack Obama at first said he would not do that. He turned around under political pressure and he voted against funding the troops. We do have a plan for withdrawal. We don't need early withdrawal out of Iraq. We cannot afford to lose there or we're going to be no better off in the war in Afghanistan either. We have got to win in Iraq.

And with the surge that has worked we're now down to presurge numbers in Iraq. That's where we can be. We can start putting more troops in Afghanistan as we also work with our NATO allies who are there strengthening us and we need to grow our military. We cannot afford to lose against al Qaeda and the Shia extremists who are still there, still fighting us, but we're getting closer and closer to victory. And it would be a travesty if we quit now in Iraq.

IFILL: Senator?

BIDEN: Gwen, with all due respect, I didn't hear a plan. Barack Obama offered a clear plan. Shift responsibility to Iraqis over the next 16 months. Draw down our combat troops. Ironically the same plan that Maliki, the prime minister of Iraq and George Bush are now negotiating. The only odd man out here, only one left out is John McCain, number one. Number two, with regard to Barack Obama not quote funding the troops, John McCain voted the exact same way. John McCain voted against funding the troops because of an amendment he voted against had a timeline in it to draw down American troops. And John said I'm not going to fund the troops if in fact there's a time line. Barack Obama and I agree fully and completely on one thing. You've got to have a time line to draw down the troops and shift responsibility to the Iraqis.

We're spending $10 billion a month while Iraqis have an $80 billion surplus. Barack says it's time for them to spend their own money and have the 400,000 military we trained for them begin to take their own responsibility and gradually over 16 months, withdrawal. John McCain -- this is a fundamental difference between us, we'll end this war. For John McCain, there's no end in sight to end this war, fundamental difference. We will end this war.

IFILL: Governor?

PALIN: Your plan is a white flag of surrender in Iraq and that is not what our troops need to hear today, that's for sure. And it's not what our nation needs to be able to count on. You guys opposed the surge. The surge worked. Barack Obama still can't admit the surge works.

We'll know when we're finished in Iraq when the Iraqi government can govern its people and when the Iraqi security forces can secure its people. And our commanders on the ground will tell us when those conditions have been met. And Maliki and Talabani also in working with us are knowing again that we are getting closer and closer to that point, that victory that's within sight.

Now, you said regarding Senator McCain's military policies there, Senator Biden, that you supported a lot of these things. In fact, you said in fact that you wanted to run, you'd be honored to run with him on the ticket. That's an indication I think of some of the support that you had at least until you became the VP pick here.

You also said that Barack Obama was not ready to be commander in chief. And I know again that you opposed the move he made to try to cut off funding for the troops and I respect you for that. I don't know how you can defend that position now but I know that you know especially with your son in the National Guard and I have great respect for your family also and the honor that you show our military. Barack Obama though, another story there. Anyone I think who can cut off funding for the troops after promising not to is another story.

IFILL: Senator Biden?

BIDEN: John McCain voted to cut off funding for the troops. Let me say that again. John McCain voted against an amendment containing $1 billion, $600 million that I had gotten to get MRAPS, those things that are protecting the governor's son and pray god my son and a lot of other sons and daughters.

He voted against it. He voted against funding because he said the amendment had a time line in it to end this war. He didn't like that. But let's get straight who has been right and wrong. John McCain and Dick Cheney said while I was saying we would not be greeted as liberators, we would not - this war would take a decade and not a day, not a week and not six months, we would not be out of there quickly. John McCain was saying the Sunnis and Shias got along with each other without reading the history of the last 700 years. John McCain said there would be enough oil to pay for this. John McCain has been dead wrong. I love him. As my mother would say, god love him, but he's been dead wrong on the fundamental issues relating to the conduct of the war. Barack Obama has been right. There are the facts.

IFILL: Let's move to Iran and Pakistan. I'm curious about what you think starting with you Senator Biden. What's the greater threat, a nuclear Iran or an unstable Afghanistan? Explain why.

BIDEN: Well, they're both extremely dangerous. I always am focused, as you know Gwen, I have been focusing on for a long time, along with Barack on Pakistan. Pakistan already has nuclear weapons. Pakistan already has deployed nuclear weapons. Pakistan's weapons can already hit Israel and the Mediterranean. Iran getting a nuclear weapon would be very, very destabilizing. They are more than - they are not close to getting a nuclear weapon that's able to be deployed. So they're both very dangerous. They both would be game changers.

But look, here's what the fundamental problem I have with John's policy about terror instability. John continues to tell us that the central war in the front on terror is in Iraq. I promise you, if an attack comes in the homeland, it's going to come as our security services have said, it is going to come from al Qaeda planning in the hills of Afghanistan and Pakistan. That's where they live. That's where they are. That's where it will come from. And right now that resides in Pakistan, a stable government needs to be established. We need to support that democracy by helping them not only with their military but with their governance and their economic well-being.

There have been 7,000 madrasses built along that border. We should be helping them build schools to compete for those hearts and minds of the people in the region so that we're actually able to take on terrorism and by the way, that's where bin Laden lives and we will go at him if we have actually intelligence.

IFILL: Governor, nuclear Pakistan, unstable Pakistan, nuclear Iran? Which is the greater threat?

PALIN: Both are extremely dangerous, of course. And as for who coined that central war on terror being in Iraq, it was the General Petraeus and al Qaeda, both leaders there and it's probably the only thing that they're ever going to agree on, but that it was a central war on terror is in Iraq. You don't have to believe me or John McCain on that. I would believe Petraeus and the leader of al Qaeda.

An armed, nuclear armed especially Iran is so extremely dangerous to consider. They cannot be allowed to acquire nuclear weapons period. Israel is in jeopardy of course when we're dealing with Ahmadinejad as a leader of Iran. Iran claiming that Israel as he termed it, a stinking corpse, a country that should be wiped off the face of the earth. Now a leader like Ahmadinejad who is not sane or stable when he says things like that is not one whom we can allow to acquire nuclear energy, nuclear weapons. Ahmadinejad, Kim Jong Il, the Castro brothers, others who are dangerous dictators are one that Barack Obama has said he would be willing to meet with without preconditions being met first.

And an issue like that taken up by a presidential candidate goes beyond naivete and goes beyond poor judgment. A statement that he made like that is downright dangerous because leaders like Ahmadinejad who would seek to acquire nuclear weapons and wipe off the face of the earth an ally like we have in Israel should not be met with without preconditions and diplomatic efforts being undertaken first.

IFILL: Governor and senator, I want you both to respond to this. Secretaries of state Baker, Kissinger, Powell, they have all advocated some level of engagement with enemies. Do you think these former secretaries of state are wrong on that?

PALIN: No and Dr. Henry Kissinger especially. I had a good conversation with him recently. And he shared with me his passion for diplomacy. And that's what John McCain and I would engage in also. But again, with some of these dictators who hate America and hate what we stand for, with our freedoms, our democracy, our tolerance, our respect for women's rights, those who would try to destroy what we stand for cannot be met with just sitting down on a presidential level as Barack Obama had said he would be willing to do. That is beyond bad judgment. That is dangerous.

No, diplomacy is very important. First and foremost, that is what we would engage in. But diplomacy is hard work by serious people. It's lining out clear objectives and having your friends and your allies ready to back you up there and have sanctions lined up before any kind of presidential summit would take place.

IFILL: Senator?

BIDEN: Can I clarify this? This is simply not true about Barack Obama. He did not say sit down with Ahmadinejad.

BIDEN: The fact of the matter is, it surprises me that Senator McCain doesn't realize that Ahmadinejad does not control the security apparatus in Iran. The theocracy controls the security apparatus, number one.

Number two, five secretaries of state did say we should talk with and sit down.

Now, John and Governor Palin now say they're all for -- they have a passion, I think the phrase was, a passion for diplomacy and that we have to bring our friends and allies along.

Our friends and allies have been saying, Gwen, "Sit down. Talk. Talk. Talk." Our friends and allies have been saying that, five secretaries of state, three of them Republicans.

And John McCain has said he would go along with an agreement, but he wouldn't sit down. Now, how do you do that when you don't have your administration sit down and talk with the adversary?

And look what President Bush did. After five years, he finally sent a high-ranking diplomat to meet with the highest-ranking diplomats in Iran, in Europe, to try to work out an arrangement.

Our allies are on that same page. And if we don't go the extra mile on diplomacy, what makes you think the allies are going to sit with us?

The last point I'll make, John McCain said as recently as a couple of weeks ago he wouldn't even sit down with the government of Spain, a NATO ally that has troops in Afghanistan with us now. I find that incredible.

IFILL: Governor, you mentioned Israel and your support for Israel.

PALIN: Yes.

IFILL: What has this administration done right or wrong -- this is the great, lingering, unresolved issue, the Israeli-Palestinian conflict -- what have they done? And is a two-state solution the solution?

PALIN: A two-state solution is the solution. And Secretary Rice, having recently met with leaders on one side or the other there, also, still in these waning days of the Bush administration, trying to forge that peace, and that needs to be done, and that will be top of an agenda item, also, under a McCain-Palin administration.

Israel is our strongest and best ally in the Middle East. We have got to assure them that we will never allow a second Holocaust, despite, again, warnings from Iran and any other country that would seek to destroy Israel, that that is what they would like to see.

We will support Israel. A two-state solution, building our embassy, also, in Jerusalem, those things that we look forward to being able to accomplish, with this peace-seeking nation, and they have a track record of being able to forge these peace agreements.

They succeeded with Jordan. They succeeded with Egypt. I'm sure that we're going to see more success there, also.

It's got to be a commitment of the United States of America, though. And I can promise you, in a McCain-Palin administration, that commitment is there to work with our friends in Israel.

IFILL: Senator?

BIDEN: Gwen, no one in the United States Senate has been a better friend to Israel than Joe Biden. I would have never, ever joined this ticket were I not absolutely sure Barack Obama shared my passion.

But you asked a question about whether or not this administration's policy had made sense or something to that effect. It has been an abject failure, this administration's policy.

In fairness to Secretary Rice, she's trying to turn it around now in the seventh or eighth year.

Here's what the president said when we said no. He insisted on elections on the West Bank, when I said, and others said, and Barack Obama said, "Big mistake. Hamas will win. You'll legitimize them." What happened? Hamas won.

When we kicked -- along with France, we kicked Hezbollah out of Lebanon, I said and Barack said, "Move NATO forces in there. Fill the vacuum, because if you don't know -- if you don't, Hezbollah will control it."

Now what's happened? Hezbollah is a legitimate part of the government in the country immediately to the north of Israel.

The fact of the matter is, the policy of this administration has been an abject failure.

And speaking of freedom being on the march, the only thing on the march is Iran. It's closer to a bomb. Its proxies now have a major stake in Lebanon, as well as in the Gaza Strip with Hamas.

We will change this policy with thoughtful, real, live diplomacy that understands that you must back Israel in letting them negotiate, support their negotiation, and stand with them, not insist on policies like this administration has.

IFILL: Has this administration's policy been an abject failure, as the senator says, Governor?

PALIN: No, I do not believe that it has been. But I'm so encouraged to know that we both love Israel, and I think that is a good thing to get to agree on, Senator Biden. I respect your position on that.

No, in fact, when we talk about the Bush administration, there's a time, too, when Americans are going to say, "Enough is enough with your ticket," on constantly looking backwards, and pointing fingers, and doing the blame game.

There have been huge blunders in the war. There have been huge blunders throughout this administration, as there are with every administration.

But for a ticket that wants to talk about change and looking into the future, there's just too much finger-pointing backwards to ever make us believe that that's where you're going.

Positive change is coming, though. Reform of government is coming. We'll learn from the past mistakes in this administration and other administrations.

And we're going to forge ahead with putting government back on the side of the people and making sure that our country comes first, putting obsessive partisanship aside.

That's what John McCain has been known for in all these years. He has been the maverick. He has ruffled feathers.

But I know, Senator Biden, you have respected for them that, and I respect you for acknowledging that. But change is coming.

IFILL: Just looking backwards, Senator?

BIDEN: Look, past is prologue, Gwen. The issue is, how different is John McCain's policy going to be than George Bush's? I haven't heard anything yet.

I haven't heard how his policy is going to be different on Iran than George Bush's. I haven't heard how his policy is going to be different with Israel than George Bush's. I haven't heard how his policy in Afghanistan is going to be different than George Bush's. I haven't heard how his policy in Pakistan is going to be different than George Bush's.

It may be. But so far, it is the same as George Bush's. And you know where that policy has taken us.

We will make significant change so, once again, we're the most respected nation in the world. That's what we're going to do.

IFILL: Governor, on another issue, interventionism, nuclear weapons. What should be the trigger, or should there be a trigger, when nuclear weapons use is ever put into play?

PALIN: Nuclear weaponry, of course, would be the be all, end all of just too many people in too many parts of our planet, so those dangerous regimes, again, cannot be allowed to acquire nuclear weapons, period.

Our nuclear weaponry here in the U.S. is used as a deterrent. And that's a safe, stable way to use nuclear weaponry.

But for those countries -- North Korea, also, under Kim Jong-il -- we have got to make sure that we're putting the economic sanctions on these countries and that we have friends and allies supporting us in this to make sure that leaders like Kim Jong-il and Ahmadinejad are not allowed to acquire, to proliferate, or to use those nuclear weapons. It is that important.

Can we talk about Afghanistan real quick, also, though?

IFILL: Certainly.

PALIN: OK, I'd like to just really quickly mention there, too, that when you look back and you say that the Bush administration's policy on Afghanistan perhaps would be the same as McCain, and that's not accurate.

The surge principles, not the exact strategy, but the surge principles that have worked in Iraq need to be implemented in Afghanistan, also. And that, perhaps, would be a difference with the Bush administration.

Now, Barack Obama had said that all we're doing in Afghanistan is air-raiding villages and killing civilians. And such a reckless, reckless comment and untrue comment, again, hurts our cause.

That's not what we're doing there. We're fighting terrorists, and we're securing democracy, and we're building schools for children there so that there is opportunity in that country, also. There will be a big difference there, and we will win in -- in Afghanistan, also.

IFILL: Senator, you may talk about nuclear use, if you'd like, and also about Afghanistan.

BIDEN: I'll talk about both. With Afghanistan, facts matter, Gwen.

The fact is that our commanding general in Afghanistan said today that a surge -- the surge principles used in Iraq will not -- well, let me say this again now -- our commanding general in Afghanistan said the surge principle in Iraq will not work in Afghanistan, not Joe Biden, our commanding general in Afghanistan.

He said we need more troops. We need government-building. We need to spend more money on the infrastructure in Afghanistan.

Look, we have spent more money -- we spend more money in three weeks on combat in Iraq than we spent on the entirety of the last seven years that we have been in Afghanistan building that country.

Let me say that again. Three weeks in Iraq; seven years, seven years or six-and-a-half years in Afghanistan. Now, that's number one.

Number two, with regard to arms control and weapons, nuclear weapons require a nuclear arms control regime. John McCain voted against a Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty that every Republican has supported.

John McCain has opposed amending the Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty with an amendment to allow for inspections.

John McCain has not been -- has not been the kind of supporter for dealing with -- and let me put it another way. My time is almost up.

Barack Obama, first thing he did when he came to the United States Senate, new senator, reached across the aisle to my colleague, Dick Lugar, a Republican, and said, "We've got to do something about keeping nuclear weapons out of the hands of terrorists."

They put together a piece of legislation that, in fact, was serious and real. Every major -- I shouldn't say every -- on the two at least that I named, I know that John McCain has been opposed to extending the arms control regime in the world.

IFILL: Governor?

PALIN: Well, first, McClellan did not say definitively the surge principles would not work in Afghanistan. Certainly, accounting for different conditions in that different country and conditions are certainly different. We have NATO allies helping us for one and even the geographic differences are huge but the counterinsurgency principles could work in Afghanistan. McClellan didn't say anything opposite of that. The counterinsurgency strategy going into Afghanistan, clearing, holding, rebuilding, the civil society and the infrastructure can work in Afghanistan. And those leaders who are over there, who have also been advising George Bush on this have not said anything different but that.

IFILL: Senator.

PALIN: Well, our commanding general did say that. The fact of the matter is that again, I'll just put in perspective, while Barack and I and Chuck Hagel and Dick Lugar have been calling for more money to help in Afghanistan, more troops in Afghanistan, John McCain was saying two years ago quote, "The reason we don't read about Afghanistan anymore in the paper, it's succeeded.

Barack Obama was saying we need more troops there. Again, we spend in three weeks on combat missions in Iraq, more than we spent in the entire time we have been in Afghanistan. That will change in a Barack Obama administration.

IFILL: Senator, you have quite a record, this is the next question here, of being an interventionist. You argued for intervention in Bosnia and Kosovo, initially in Iraq and Pakistan and now in Darfur, putting U.S. troops on the ground. Boots on the ground. Is this something the American public has the stomach for?

BIDEN: I think the American public has the stomach for success. My recommendations on Bosnia. I admit I was the first one to recommend it. They saved tens of thousands of lives. And initially John McCain opposed it along with a lot of other people. But the end result was it worked. Look what we did in Bosnia. We took Serbs, Croats and Bosniaks, being told by everyone, I was told by everyone that this would mean that they had been killing each other for a thousand years, it would never work.

There's a relatively stable government there now as in Kosovo. With regard to Iraq, I indicated it would be a mistake to -- I gave the president the power. I voted for the power because he said he needed it not to go to war but to keep the United States, the UN in line, to keep sanctions on Iraq and not let them be lifted.

I, along with Dick Lugar, before we went to war, said if we were to go to war without our allies, without the kind of support we need, we'd be there for a decade and it'd cost us tens of billions of dollars. John McCain said, no, it was going to be OK.

I don't have the stomach for genocide when it comes to Darfur. We can now impose a no-fly zone. It's within our capacity. We can lead NATO if we're willing to take a hard stand. We can, I've been in those camps in Chad. I've seen the suffering, thousands and tens of thousands have died and are dying. We should rally the world to act and demonstrate it by our own movement to provide the helicopters to get the 21,000 forces of the African Union in there now to stop this genocide.

IFILL: Thank you, senator. Governor.

PALIN: Oh, yeah, it's so obvious I'm a Washington outsider. And someone just not used to the way you guys operate. Because here you voted for the war and now you oppose the war. You're one who says, as so many politicians do, I was for it before I was against it or vice- versa. Americans are craving that straight talk and just want to know, hey, if you voted for it, tell us why you voted for it and it was a war resolution.

And you had supported John McCain's military strategies pretty adamantly until this race and you had opposed very adamantly Barack Obama's military strategy, including cutting off funding for the troops that attempt all through the primary.

And I watched those debates, so I remember what those were all about.

But as for as Darfur, we can agree on that also, the supported of the no-fly zone, making sure that all options are on the table there also.

America is in a position to help. What I've done in my position to help, as the governor of a state that's pretty rich in natural resources, we have a $40 billion investment fund, a savings fund called the Alaska Permanent Fund.

When I and others in the legislature found out we had some millions of dollars in Sudan, we called for divestment through legislation of those dollars to make sure we weren't doing anything that would be seen as condoning the activities there in Darfur. That legislation hasn't passed yet but it needs to because all of us, as individuals, and as humanitarians and as elected officials should do all we can to end those atrocities in that region of the world.

IFILL: Is there a line that should be drawn about when we decide to go in?

BIDEN: Absolutely. There is a line that should be drawn.

IFILL: What is it? BIDEN: The line that should be drawn is whether we A, first of all have the capacity to do anything about it number one. And number two, certain new lines that have to be drawn internationally. When a country engages in genocide, when a country engaging in harboring terrorists and will do nothing about it, at that point that country in my view and Barack's view forfeits their right to say you have no right to intervene at all.

The truth of the matter is, though, let's go back to John McCain's strategy. I never supported John McCain's strategy on the war. John McCain said exactly what Dick Cheney said, go back and look at Barack Obama's statements and mine. Go look at joebiden.com, contemporaneously, held hearings in the summer before we went to war, saying if we went to war, we would not be greeted as liberator, we would have a fight between Sunnis and Shias, we would be tied down for a decade and cost us hundreds of billions of dollars.

John McCain was saying the exact opposite. John McCain was lock- step with Dick Cheney at that point how this was going to be easy. So John McCain's strategy in this war, not just whether or not to go, the actual conduct of the war has been absolutely wrong from the outset.

IFILL: Governor.

PALIN: I beg to disagree with you, again, here on whether you supported Barack Obama or John McCain's strategies. Here again, you can say what you want to say a month out before people are asked to vote on this, but we listened to the debates.

I think tomorrow morning, the pundits are going to start do the who said what at what time and we'll have proof of some of this, but, again, John McCain who knows how to win a war. Who's been there and he's faced challenges and he knows what evil is and knows what it takes to overcome the challenges here with our military.

He knows to learn from the mistakes and blunders we have seen in the war in Iraq, especially. He will know how to implement the strategies, working with our commanders and listening to what they have to say, taking the politics out of these war issues. He'll know how to win a war.

IFILL: Thank you, governor.

Probably the biggest cliche about the vice-presidency is that it's a heartbeat away, everybody's waiting to see what would happen if the worst happened. How would -- you disagree on some things from your principles, you disagree on drilling in Alaska, the National Wildlife Refuge, you disagree on the surveillance law, at least you have in the past. How would a Biden administration be different from an Obama administration if that were to happen.

BIDEN: God forbid that would ever happen, it would be a national tragedy of historic proportions if it were to happen.

But if it did, I would carry out Barack Obama's policy, his policies of reinstating the middle class, making sure they get a fair break, making sure they have access to affordable health insurance, making sure they get serious tax breaks, making sure we can help their children get to college, making sure there is an energy policy that leads us in the direction of not only toward independence and clean environment but an energy policy that creates 5 million new jobs, a foreign policy that ends this war in Iraq, a foreign policy that goes after the one mission the American public gave the president after 9/11, to get and capture or kill bin Laden and to eliminate al Qaeda. A policy that would in fact engage our allies in making sure that we knew we were acting on the same page and not dictating.

And a policy that would reject the Bush Doctrine of preemption and regime change and replace it with a doctrine of prevention and cooperation and, ladies and gentlemen, this is the biggest ticket item that we have in this election.

This is the most important election you will ever, ever have voted in, any of you, since 1932. And there's such stark differences, I would follow through on Barack's policies because in essence, I agree with every major initiative he is suggesting.

IFILL: Governor.

PALIN: And heaven forbid, yes, that would ever happen, no matter how this ends up, that that would ever happen with either party.

As for disagreeing with John McCain and how our administration would work, what do you expect? A team of mavericks, of course we're not going to agree on 100 percent of everything. As we discuss ANWR there, at least we can agree to disagree on that one. I will keep pushing him on ANWR. I have so appreciated he has never asked me to check my opinions at the door and he wants a deliberative debate and healthy debate so we can make good policy.

What I would do also, if that were to ever happen, though, is to continue the good work he is so committed to of putting government back on the side of the people and get rid of the greed and corruption on Wall Street and in Washington.

I think we need a little bit of reality from Wasilla Main Street there, brought to Washington, DC.

PALIN: So that people there can understand how the average working class family is viewing bureaucracy in the federal government and Congress and inaction of Congress.

Just everyday working class Americans saying, you know, government, just get out of my way. If you're going to do any harm and mandate more things on me and take more of my money and income tax and business taxes, you're going to have a choice in just a few weeks here on either supporting a ticket that wants to create jobs and bolster our economy and win the war or you're going to be supporting a ticket that wants to increase taxes, which ultimately kills jobs, and is going to hurt our economy.

BIDEN: Can I respond? Look, all you have to do is go down Union Street with me in Wilmington or go to Katie's Restaurant or walk into Home Depot with me where I spend a lot of time and you ask anybody in there whether or not the economic and foreign policy of this administration has made them better off in the last eight years. And then ask them whether there's a single major initiative that John McCain differs with the president on. On taxes, on Iraq, on Afghanistan, on the whole question of how to help education, on the dealing with health care.

Look, the people in my neighborhood, they get it. They get it. They know they've been getting the short end of the stick. So walk with me in my neighborhood, go back to my old neighborhood in Claymont, an old steel town or go up to Scranton with me. These people know the middle class has gotten the short end. The wealthy have done very well. Corporate America has been rewarded. It's time we change it. Barack Obama will change it.

IFILL: Governor?

PALIN: Say it ain't so, Joe, there you go again pointing backwards again. You preferenced your whole comment with the Bush administration. Now doggone it, let's look ahead and tell Americans what we have to plan to do for them in the future. You mentioned education and I'm glad you did. I know education you are passionate about with your wife being a teacher for 30 years, and god bless her. Her reward is in heaven, right? I say, too, with education, America needs to be putting a lot more focus on that and our schools have got to be really ramped up in terms of the funding that they are deserving. Teachers needed to be paid more. I come from a house full of school teachers. My grandma was, my dad who is in the audience today, he's a schoolteacher, had been for many years. My brother, who I think is the best schoolteacher in the year, and here's a shout-out to all those third graders at Gladys Wood Elementary School, you get extra credit for watching the debate.

Education credit in American has been in some sense in some of our states just accepted to be a little bit lax and we have got to increase the standards. No Child Left Behind was implemented. It's not doing the job though. We need flexibility in No Child Left Behind. We need to put more of an emphasis on the profession of teaching. We need to make sure that education in either one of our agendas, I think, absolute top of the line. My kids as public school participants right now, it's near and dear to my heart. I'm very, very concerned about where we're going with education and we have got to ramp it up and put more attention in that arena.

IFILL: Everybody gets extra credit tonight. We're going to move on to the next question. Governor, you said in July that someone would have to explain to you exactly what it is the vice president does every day. You, senator, said, you would not be vice president under any circumstances. Now maybe this was just what was going on at the time. But tell us now, looking forward, what it is you think the vice presidency is worth now.

PALIN: In my comment there, it was a lame attempt at a joke and yours was a lame attempt at a joke, too, I guess, because nobody got it. Of course we know what a vice president does.

BIDEN: They didn't get yours or mine? Which one didn't they get?

PALIN: No, no. Of course, we know what a vice president does. And that's not only to preside over the Senate and will take that position very seriously also. I'm thankful the Constitution would allow a bit more authority given to the vice president if that vice president so chose to exert it in working with the Senate and making sure that we are supportive of the president's policies and making sure too that our president understands what our strengths are. John McCain and I have had good conversations about where I would lead with his agenda. That is energy independence in America and reform of government over all, and then working with families of children with special needs. That's near and dear to my heart also. In those arenas, John McCain has already tapped me and said, that's where I want you, I want you to lead. I said, I can't wait to get and there go to work with you.

IFILL: Senator?

BIDEN: Gwen, I hope we'll get back to education because I don't know any government program that John is supporting, not early education, more money for it. The reason No Child Left Behind was left behind, the money was left behind, we didn't fund it. We can get back to that I assume.

With regard to the role of vice president, I had a long talk, as I'm sure the governor did with her principal, in my case with Barack. Let me tell you what Barack asked me to do. I have a history of getting things done in the United States Senate. John McCain would acknowledge that. My record shows that on controversial issues. I would be the point person for the legislative initiatives in the United States Congress for our administration. I would also, when asked if I wanted a portfolio, my response was, no. But Barack Obama indicated to me he wanted me with him to help him govern. So every major decision he'll be making, I'll be sitting in the room to give my best advice. He's president, not me, I'll give my best advice.

And one of the things he said early on when he was choosing, he said he picked someone who had an independent judgment and wouldn't be afraid to tell him if he disagreed. That is sort of my reputation, as you know. I look forward to working with Barack and playing a very constructive role in his presidency, bringing about the kind of change this country needs.

IFILL: Governor, you mentioned a moment ago the constitution might give the vice president more power than it has in the past. Do you believe as Vice President Cheney does, that the Executive Branch does not hold complete sway over the office of the vice presidency, that it it is also a member of the Legislative Branch?

PALIN: Well, our founding fathers were very wise there in allowing through the Constitution much flexibility there in the office of the vice president. And we will do what is best for the American people in tapping into that position and ushering in an agenda that is supportive and cooperative with the president's agenda in that position. Yeah, so I do agree with him that we have a lot of flexibility in there, and we'll do what we have to do to administer very appropriately the plans that are needed for this nation. And it is my executive experience that is partly to be attributed to my pick as V.P. with McCain, not only as a governor, but earlier on as a mayor, as an oil and gas regulator, as a business owner. It is those years of experience on an executive level that will be put to good use in the White House also.

IFILL: Vice President Cheney's interpretation of the vice presidency?

BIDEN: Vice President Cheney has been the most dangerous vice president we've had probably in American history. The idea he doesn't realize that Article I of the Constitution defines the role of the vice president of the United States, that's the Executive Branch. He works in the Executive Branch. He should understand that. Everyone should understand that.

And the primary role of the vice president of the United States of America is to support the president of the United States of America, give that president his or her best judgment when sought, and as vice president, to preside over the Senate, only in a time when in fact there's a tie vote. The Constitution is explicit.

The only authority the vice president has from the legislative standpoint is the vote, only when there is a tie vote. He has no authority relative to the Congress. The idea he's part of the Legislative Branch is a bizarre notion invented by Cheney to aggrandize the power of a unitary executive and look where it has gotten us. It has been very dangerous. IFILL: Let's talk conventional wisdom for a moment. The conventional wisdom, Governor Palin with you, is that your Achilles heel is that you lack experience. Your conventional wisdom against you is that your Achilles heel is that you lack discipline, Senator Biden. What id it really for you, Governor Palin? What is it really for you, Senator Biden? Start with you, governor.

PALIN: My experience as an executive will be put to good use as a mayor and business owner and oil and gas regulator and then as governor of a huge state, a huge energy producing state that is accounting for much progress towards getting our nation energy independence and that's extremely important.

But it wasn't just that experience tapped into, it was my connection to the heartland of America. Being a mom, one very concerned about a son in the war, about a special needs child, about kids heading off to college, how are we going to pay those tuition bills? About times and Todd and our marriage in our past where we didn't have health insurance and we know what other Americans are going through as they sit around the kitchen table and try to figure out how are they going to pay out-of-pocket for health care? We've been there also so that connection was important.

But even more important is that world view that I share with John McCain. That world view that says that America is a nation of exceptionalism. And we are to be that shining city on a hill, as President Reagan so beautifully said, that we are a beacon of hope and that we are unapologetic here. We are not perfect as a nation. But together, we represent a perfect ideal. And that is democracy and tolerance and freedom and equal rights. Those things that we stand for that can be put to good use as a force for good in this world.

John McCain and I share that. You combine all that with being a team with the only track record of making a really, a difference in where we've been and reforming, that's a good team, it's a good ticket.

IFILL: Senator?

BIDEN: You're very kind suggesting my only Achilles Heel is my lack of discipline.

BIDEN: Others talk about my excessive passion. I'm not going to change. I have 35 years in public office. People can judge who I am. I haven't changed in that time.

And, by the way, a record of change -- I will place my record and Barack's record against John McCain's or anyone else in terms of fundamental accomplishments. Wrote the crime bill, put 100,000 cops on the street, wrote the Violence Against Women Act, which John McCain voted against both of them, was the catalyst to change the circumstance in Bosnia, led by President Clinton, obviously.

Look, I understand what it's like to be a single parent. When my wife and daughter died and my two sons were gravely injured, I understand what it's like as a parent to wonder what it's like if your kid's going to make it.

I understand what it's like to sit around the kitchen table with a father who says, "I've got to leave, champ, because there's no jobs here. I got to head down to Wilmington. And when we get enough money, honey, we'll bring you down."

I understand what it's like. I'm much better off than almost all Americans now. I get a good salary with the United States Senate. I live in a beautiful house that's my total investment that I have. So I -- I am much better off now.

But the notion that somehow, because I'm a man, I don't know what it's like to raise two kids alone, I don't know what it's like to have a child you're not sure is going to -- is going to make it -- I understand.

I understand, as well as, with all due respect, the governor or anybody else, what it's like for those people sitting around that kitchen table. And guess what? They're looking for help. They're looking for help. They're not looking for more of the same.

IFILL: Governor?

PALIN: People aren't looking for more of the same. They are looking for change. And John McCain has been the consummate maverick in the Senate over all these years.

He's taken shots left and right from the other party and from within his own party, because he's had to take on his own party when the time was right, when he recognized it was time to put partisanship aside and just do what was right for the American people. That's what I've done as governor, also, take on my own party, when I had to, and work with both sides of the aisle, in my cabinet, appointing those who would serve regardless of party, Democrats, independents, Republicans, whatever it took to get the job done.

Also, John McCain's maverick position that he's in, that's really prompt up to and indicated by the supporters that he has. Look at Lieberman, and Giuliani, and Romney, and Lingle, and all of us who come from such a diverse background of -- of policy and of partisanship, all coming together at this time, recognizing he is the man that we need to leave -- lead in these next four years, because these are tumultuous times.

We have got to win the wars. We have got to get our economy back on track. We have got to not allow the greed and corruption on Wall Street anymore.

And we have not got to allow the partisanship that has really been entrenched in Washington, D.C., no matter who's been in charge. When the Republicans were in charge, I didn't see a lot of progress there, either. When the Democrats, either, though, this last go- around for the last two years.

Change is coming. And John McCain is the leader of that reform.

IFILL: Senator...

BIDEN: I'll be very brief. Can I respond to that?

Look, the maverick -- let's talk about the maverick John McCain is. And, again, I love him. He's been a maverick on some issues, but he has been no maverick on the things that matter to people's lives.

He voted four out of five times for George Bush's budget, which put us a half a trillion dollars in debt this year and over $3 trillion in debt since he's got there.

He has not been a maverick in providing health care for people. He has voted against -- he voted including another 3.6 million children in coverage of the existing health care plan, when he voted in the United States Senate.

He's not been a maverick when it comes to education. He has not supported tax cuts and significant changes for people being able to send their kids to college.

He's not been a maverick on the war. He's not been a maverick on virtually anything that genuinely affects the things that people really talk about around their kitchen table.

Can we send -- can we get Mom's MRI? Can we send Mary back to school next semester? We can't -- we can't make it. How are we going to heat the -- heat the house this winter?

He voted against even providing for what they call LIHEAP, for assistance to people, with oil prices going through the roof in the winter.

So maverick he is not on the important, critical issues that affect people at that kitchen table.

IFILL: Final question tonight, before your closing statements, starting with you, Senator Biden. Can you think of a single issue -- and this is to cast light for people who are just trying to get to know you in your final debate, your only debate of this year -- can you think of a single issue, policy issue, in which you were forced to change a long-held view in order to accommodate changed circumstances?

BIDEN: Yes, I can. When I got to the United States Senate and went on the Judiciary Committee as a young lawyer, I was of the view and had been trained in the view that the only thing that mattered was whether or not a nominee appointed, suggested by the president had a judicial temperament, had not committed a crime of moral turpitude, and was -- had been a good student.

And it didn't take me long -- it was hard to change, but it didn't take me long, but it took about five years for me to realize that the ideology of that judge makes a big difference.

That's why I led the fight against Judge Bork. Had he been on the court, I suspect there would be a lot of changes that I don't like and the American people wouldn't like, including everything from Roe v. Wade to issues relating to civil rights and civil liberties.

And so that -- that -- that was one of the intellectual changes that took place in my career as I got a close look at it. And that's why I was the first chairman of the Judiciary Committee to forthrightly state that it matters what your judicial philosophy is. The American people have a right to understand it and to know it.

But I did change on that, and -- and I'm glad I did.

IFILL: Governor?

PALIN: There have been times where, as mayor and governor, we have passed budgets that I did not veto and that I think could be considered as something that I quasi-caved in, if you will, but knowing that it was the right thing to do in order to progress the agenda for that year and to work with the legislative body, that body that actually holds the purse strings.

So there were times when I wanted to zero-base budget, and to cut taxes even more, and I didn't have enough support in order to accomplish that.

But on the major principle things, no, there hasn't been something that I've had to compromise on, because we've always seemed to find a way to work together. Up there in Alaska, what we have done is, with bipartisan efforts, is work together and, again, not caring who gets the credit for what, as we accomplish things up there.

And that's been just a part of the operation that I wanted to participate in. And that's what we're going to do in Washington, D.C., also, bring in both sides together. John McCain is known for doing that, also, in order to get the work done for the American people.

IFILL: Let's come full circle. You both want to bring both sides together. You both talk about bipartisanship. Once again, we saw what happened this week in Washington. How do you change the tone, as vice president, as number-two?

BIDEN: Well, again, I believe John McCain, were he here -- and this is a dangerous thing to say in the middle of an election -- but he would acknowledge what I'm about to say.

I have been able to work across the aisle on some of the most controversial issues and change my party's mind, as well as Republicans', because I learned a lesson from Mike Mansfield.

Mike Mansfield, a former leader of the Senate, said to me one day -- he -- I made a criticism of Jesse Helms. He said, "What would you do if I told you Jesse Helms and Dot Helms had adopted a child who had braces and was in real need?" I said, "I'd feel like a jerk."

He said, "Joe, understand one thing. Everyone's sent here for a reason, because there's something in them that their folks like. Don't question their motive."

I have never since that moment in my first year questioned the motive of another member of the Congress or Senate with whom I've disagreed. I've questioned their judgment.

I think that's why I have the respect I have and have been able to work as well as I've been able to have worked in the United States Senate. That's the fundamental change Barack Obama and I will be bring to this party, not questioning other people's motives.

IFILL: Governor?

PALIN: You do what I did as governor, and you appoint people regardless of party affiliation, Democrats, independents, Republicans. You -- you walk the walk; you don't just talk the talk.

And even in my own family, it's a very diverse family. And we have folks of all political persuasion in there, also, so I've grown up just knowing that, you know, at the end of the day, as long as we're all working together for the greater good, it's going to be OK.

But the policies and the proposals have got to speak for themselves, also. And, again, voters on November 4th are going to have that choice to either support a ticket that supports policies that create jobs.

You do that by lowering taxes on American workers and on our businesses. And you build up infrastructure, and you rein in government spending, and you make our -- our nation energy independent.

Or you support a ticket that supports policies that will kill jobs by increasing taxes. And that's what the track record shows, is a desire to increase taxes, increase spending, a trillion-dollar spending proposal that's on the table. That's going to hurt our country, and saying no to energy independence. Clear choices on November 4th.

IFILL: Governor Palin, you get the chance to make the first closing statement.

PALIN: Well, again, Gwen, I do want to thank you and the commission. This is such an honor for me.

And I appreciate, too, Senator Biden, getting to meet you, finally, also, and getting to debate with you. And I would like more opportunity for this.

I like being able to answer these tough questions without the filter, even, of the mainstream media kind of telling viewers what they've just heard. I'd rather be able to just speak to the American people like we just did.

And it's so important that the American people know of the choices that they have on November 4th.

I want to assure you that John McCain and I, we're going to fight for America. We're going to fight for the middle-class, average, everyday American family like mine.

I've been there. I know what the hurts are. I know what the challenges are. And, thank God, I know what the joys are, too, of living in America. We are so blessed. And I've always been proud to be an American. And so has John McCain.

We have to fight for our freedoms, also, economic and our national security freedoms.

It was Ronald Reagan who said that freedom is always just one generation away from extinction. We don't pass it to our children in the bloodstream; we have to fight for it and protect it, and then hand it to them so that they shall do the same, or we're going to find ourselves spending our sunset years telling our children and our children's children about a time in America, back in the day, when men and women were free.

We will fight for it, and there is only one man in this race who has really ever fought for you, and that's Senator John McCain.

IFILL: Thank you, Governor. Senator Biden.

BIDEN: Gwen, thank you for doing this, and the commission, and Governor, it really was a pleasure getting to meet you.

Look, folks, this is the most important election you've ever voted in your entire life. No one can deny that the last eight years, we've been dug into a very deep hole here at home with regard to our economy, and abroad in terms of our credibility. And there's a need for fundamental change in our economic philosophy, as well as our foreign policy.

And Barack Obama and I don't measure progress toward that change based on whether or not we cut more regulations and how well CEOs are doing, or giving another $4 billion in tax breaks to the Exxon Mobils of the world.

We measure progress in America based on whether or not someone can pay their mortgage, whether or not they can send their kid to college, whether or not they're able to, when they send their child, like we have abroad -- or I'm about to, abroad -- and John has as well, I might add -- to fight, that they are the best equipped and they have everything they need. And when they come home, they're guaranteed that they have the best health care and the best education possible.

You know, in the neighborhood I grew up in, it was all about dignity and respect. A neighborhood like most of you grew up in. And in that neighborhood, it was filled with women and men, mothers and fathers who taught their children if they believed in themselves, if they were honest, if they worked hard, if they loved their country, they could accomplish anything. We believed it, and we did.

That's why Barack Obama and I are running, to re-establish that certitude in our neighborhoods.

Ladies and gentlemen, my dad used to have an expression. He'd say, "champ, when you get knocked down, get up."

Well, it's time for America to get up together. America's ready, you're ready, I'm ready, and Barack Obama is ready to be the next president of the United States of America.

May God bless all of you, and most of all, for both of us, selfishly, may God protect our troops.

IFILL: That ends tonight's debate. We want to thank the folks here at Washington University in St. Louis, and the Commission on Presidential Debates.

There are two more debates to come. Next Tuesday, October 7th, with Tom Brokaw at Belmont University in Nashville, and on October 15th at Hofstra University in New York, with Bob Schieffer.

Thank you, Governor Palin and Senator Biden. Good night, everybody.

What They're Saying About Gov. Sarah Palin About Debate

Gov. Sarah Palin's closing remarks at Debate

What They're Saying About Governor Sarah Palin at Wash U. Debate

Source: McCain/Palin website

"She Was Every Bit His Equal"

The New York Times' David Brooks: "I thought she was every bit his equal. I thought she was fluid, confident, she struck her theme, just the regular old mom. But she handled the foreign policy issues. She did fine with Iraq. She did fine with Iran. She certainly hit energy often enough. I suspect Republicans are going to be quite pleased." (David Brooks, PBS' "Post-Debate Analysis," 10/2/08)

Brooks: "She could do policy, she did quite well on the gubernatorial issues and did quite well on mentioning John McCain all the time, much more than Joe Biden who scarcely mentioned Barack Obama, she did quite well with that. I thought was just that style of me versus Washington. I thought it was quite effective for her in general. I suspect most people, there are a few more hallmark moments, Norman Rockwell moments but I suspect most people will really like that." (David Brooks, PBS' "Post-Debate Analysis," 10/2/08)

"She's Articulate, Quick, Detail-Oriented" With "Everyday American Appeal"

ABC's Rick Klein: "[W]here has this Sarah Palin been? She's articulate, quick, detail-oriented tonight." (Rick Klein, "Live Debate" Blog, blogs.abcnews.com, 10/2/08)

Klein: "9:03 pm CT: 'It's so obvious that I'm a Washington outsider,' Palin says. Again, better done than said, but undeniable. This line of attack, driving a wedge between Biden and Obama, is legit, though it can seem forced at times." (Rick Klein, "Live Debate," ABC News' "Live Debate" Blog, blogs.abcnews.com, 10/2/08)

CNN's Bill Schneider: "Palin is going after Biden over his comments that the wealthy should pay more taxes as a patriotic move. The Alaska governor has come to this debate fully armed." (Bill Schneider, "Schneider: Attack, Counter Attack," CNN's "Political Ticker" Blog, www.cnn.com, 10/2/08)

The Washington Post's Chris Cillizza: "Palin to Biden: 'Can I call you Joe?' GENIUS." (Chris Cillizza, "Twittering The Showdown In St. Louis," The Washington Post's "The Fix" Blog, Washington Post Fix Blog, 10/2/08)

Cillizza: "Palin starts with a 'kids soccer game' story in regards the economy. Folksy -- playing to her strengths." (Chris Cillizza, "Twittering The Showdown In St. Louis," Washington Post Fix Blog, 10/2/08)

Cillizza: "State of Alaska...taking on oil companies...this is good ground for her. The more she talks about reform, the better." (Chris Cillizza, "Twittering The Showdown In St. Louis," Washington Post Fix Blog, 10/2/08)

MSNBC's Carrie Dann: "Here's that folksy, everyday American appeal right out of the gate with Palin's first answer. She says you can hear about the consequences of the tough economy just by asking parents at a hockey game on a Saturday afternoon ... 'You're going to hear some fear' about 'the few investments some of us might have,' she says." (Carrie Dann, "The Palin McCain's Been Talking About," MSNBC's "First Read" Blog, firstread.msnbc.msn.com, 10/2/08)

MSNBC's Domenico Montanaro: "Good start on the first question from Palin. She was crisp and went right to those ... soccer moms, if you will. She brought the economy to the middle class and said the barometer is how parents on the sidelines feel. There are likely a lot of nodding heads in some living rooms at home." (Domenico Montanaro, "Palin, Off To Good Start," MSNBC's "First Read" Blog, firstread.msnbc.com, 10/2/08)

The New York Times' Katharine Q. Seelye: "Ms. Palin makes a grab to be more pro-Israel than Mr. Biden, which seems to tick him off." (Katharine Q. Seelye, "A Tense Moment," The New York Times, 10/2/08)

Commentary's Eric Trager: "Palin reminds Biden that he has often differed with Barack Obama on the Iraq war, and offers her respect for Biden's previous positions. 'I don't know how you can defend his positions now.' Brilliant." (Eric Trager, "Her Best Moment Yet," Commentary's "Contentions" Blog, www.commentarymagazine.com, 10/2/08)

Trager: "She calls Biden out on voting for the war before he was against it. Biden has only himself to blame for setting Palin up with a meek explanation of why he authorized the war without (supposedly) supporting it. This is the knockout punch of the night thus far." (Eric Trager, "I'm Such A Washington Outsider," Commentary's "Contentions" Blog, www.commentarymagazine.com, 10/2/08)

The Politico's Jonathan Martin: "She knows all the wedges between Biden and Obama, including their votes on troop funding, and even drops in a reference to that Jon Stewart interview where the Delaware senator said he'd be honored to run with his colleague from Arizona." (Jonathan Martin, "Palin Got Good Oppo Brief," The Politico's "Jonathan Martin" Blog, www.politico.com, 10/2/08)

Townhall's Amanda Carpenter: "Palin says Obama's vow to meet with foreign enemies goes 'beyond naivate, [sic] beyond poor judgment. Diplomacy is hard work by serious people' with guidelines and sanctions 'before any kind of presidential summit would take place.'" (Amanda Carpenter, "Palin's Smoking Obama On Foreign Policy," Townhall.com, www.townhall.com, 10/2/08)

Commentary's Jennifer Rubin: "Sarah Palin takes us back to the Bush-Cheney energy plan and reminds him that Obama voted for it. Then she goes back to her own record of getting tough with the oil company. Forget expectations, she might just be winning this. At least for now."

A Special Message FROM Barack Obama's Teleprompter

A Special Message FROM....... Barack Obama's Teleprompter

Wild Thing's comment..........

LMAO this is sooooo great!!

I just love a teleprompter that has a mind of it's own when it comes to B. Hussein Obama!

Besides all the other horrible things about HO-bama, to think of his meeting with leaders of other countries ( without his teleprompter) he will be a total embarrassment to our Nation.
If I was going to run for President of the USA, and had a speech problem like Obama has with his stammering I would go to a speech therapist and see if I could overcome this terrible communication problem. But then Obama is a person that cannot be told he is wrong, as we have seen in his special blog just for his whine about being picked on and his Obama Truth Squad in PA and MO.
Those on the left made a big deal of George W. Bush's way of speaking, I actually like it. His way of lowering his voice and also making it breathy with the Texas drawl I love, to emphasis something he is saying reminds me of John Wayne.
What Obama does is something completely different, it shows his brain is not functioning. LOL I mean it, like it is skipping beats and unable to have a complete thought when he tries to speak and think at the same time. LOL I know that may sound weird but that is how I describe it.

Obama is NOT qualified for the job of President and this is yet just another thing to add to his list of how horrible the next 4 years would be if he does attains that goal.

Obama's "Stalin/Hitler Youth".... Children Indoctrinated "Sing for Change Obama"

Sing For Change

"Sing for Change chronicles a recent Sunday afternoon, when 22 children, ages 5-12, gathered to sing original songs in the belief that their singing would lift up our communities for the coming election. Light, hope, courage and love shine through these non-voting children who believe that their very best contribution to the Obama campaign is to sing."

"Sing for Change was a confluence of hard work, good will, and shared vision. Inspired by ideas raised at a grassroots Obama fundraiser, a music teacher, Kathy Sawada, and the children composed and rehearsed the songs in less than two weeks. Several musicians heard of the effort and volunteered to accompany the children. Parents and older siblings designed and provided the T-Shirts and the banner. There’s a first for everything, but rarely do so many firsts come together at once: for the children and their parents, this is their first performance, first video, first banner, and first involvement with grassroots work on a presidential campaign.

As Sunday approached, a neighbor volunteered a home. Production wizards got wind of the project and offered their help in recordingit. The likes of Jeff Zucker, Holly Schiffer, Peter Rosenfeld, Darin Moran, Jean Martin, Andy Blumenthal, and Nick Phoenix rearranged schedules to participate. Holly Schiffer was able to get three High Definition cameras (Panasonic HVX250’s), and an AVID editing facility. When Jeff Zucker went to pick up the camera package, Ted Schilowitz happened to be there and offered a RED camera set up on a SteadiCam.

What we accomplished in a few hours on a Sunday afternoon embodies the nature of the Obama campaign: its grassroots inspiration, its inclusiveness, its community building. People pitched in quickly for a cause that resonated with them. There were not many conditions: “Think this is a good idea? Want to help? Great. Sunday at 12:00.” At the heart of the project were 22 children and their music. The willingness of all involved to come together for them was a testament to our hope, unity, courage, joy and belief in the future represented by these children."

WE'RE GONNA CHANGE THE WORLD

Music and lyrics by Lily Campbell, age 9

We're gonna spread happiness
We're gonna spread freedom
Obama's gonna change it
Obama's gonna lead 'em

We're gonna change it
And rearrange it
We're gonna change the world.

SING FOR CHANGE

Music and lyrics by Kathy Sawada

Now's the moment, lift each voice to sing
Sing with all your heart!
For our children, for our families,
Nations all joined as one.
Sing for joy and sing abundant peace,
Courage, justice, hope!
Sing together, hold each precious hand,
Lifting each other up;
Sing for vision, sing for unity,
Lifting our hearts to Sing!

Wild Thing's comment.............

They’re seriously forming a CULT around Obama.

As part of their schoolwork, young children had to write poems praising Stalin, the Great Leader. They had poem writing contests, and the winner got to personally meet the Great Leader himself. Most of the poems were nauseating in how they fawned over this brutal murderer.

They wrote poems to this monster praising him, even as he condemned their parents to death or slave labor in Siberia.

It is creepy to watch the same cult build around 0bama.

This is overt political indoctrination of children isn't cute at all, as it robs them of their very childhood. Not that the left hasn't done that through the hypersexualization of society.

McCain will make the world a better place for children because he’s going to kill the terrorists. Obama would have some kind of sick love in with them.

Obama WORSHIPER Gwen Ifill To Be VP Debate Moderator

Nonpartisan???? Bias BIG TIME! ...........I say BS to this Gwen Ifill!

This totally biased woman should NOT be moderating the debate. it’s a complete sham. As far as “shedding light” on Obama - i doubt if her book will “shed light” on his communist associations and anti-American opinions.

The moderator of Thursday's vice presidential debate between Democrat Sen. Joe Biden and GOP Gov. Sarah Palin is writing a book, to come out about the time the next president takes the oath of office, to "shed new light" on Democratic candidate Barack Obama.

Here she discusses her new book, "The Breakthrough: Politics and Race in the Age of Obama."
Yes it is a book about her dear friend B. Hussein Obama and it will be released on January 20, 2009... Inaugural Day.

"veteran journalist Gwen Ifill surveys the American political landscape, shedding new light on the impact of Barack Obamas stunning presidential campaign and introducing the emerging young African American politicians forging a bold new path to political power. "

Gwen Ifill on Sarah Palin speech at GOP Convention.Whhile watching this from the convention I sure don't feel anything BUT BIAS!

Wild Thing's comment...........

Sorry but ................ WTF??!!!!!

When Gwen starts to show her obvious bias, Sarah should stop, read the excerpts and simply state,
“Gwen, I’d like to answer your question, but as you and America can see by these quotes your obviously an Obama voter. How fair is that ladies and gentleman? “

This is a HUGE conflict of interest. Doesn’t the McCain campaign have a research staff? I get so sick of watching republicans willingly play the part of punching bag. I read Gwen has a broken ankle, can't she bow on and use that as an excuse. A flimsy one but all the same it could be an excuse.

How was she ever allowed to be selected to moderate this debate, and what kind of total absence of integrity allowed her to accept?

Oh, wait, silly me, why do I even ask such questions?

If the country wanted to be fair, we’d let Ifil do her thing, but then Rush Limbaugh gets to moderate the second Presidential debate.

Obama and His Team Believe He Can Win By A Landslide

Barack Obama's team believes he can win by a landslide

Barack Obama's senior aides believe he is on course for a landslide election victory over John McCain and will comfortably exceed most current predictions in the race for the White House.

Telegraph.co.uk for complete article

Their optimism, which is said to be shared by the Democratic candidate himself, is based on information from private polling and on faith in the powerful political organisation he has built in the key swing states.

Insiders say that Mr Obama's apparent calm through an unusually turbulent election season is because he believes that his strength among first time voters in several key states has been underestimated, both by the media and by the Republican Party.

Mr Obama has come under fire from within Democratic ranks over his message and his tactics. Critics say he has failed to connect with the blue-collar workers seen as crucial to winning the election, and too reluctant to make direct attacks on Mr McCain.

But his aides are convinced that he has a strong chance of winning no fewer than nine states won by George W.Bush in the closely contested 2000 election, including former Republican strongholds like North Carolina, Virginia and even Indiana, which have not voted Democrat for a generation.

David Axelrod, Obama's chief strategist, said last week that Obama had "a lot of opportunity" in states which Mr Bush won four years ago

Wild Thing's comment...........

"he believes that his strength among first time voters in several key states has been underestimated"

First no one will know till the votes are all in and secondly the "first time voters" does not mean they will be reliable and vote when it is time. It is one thing to get tons of new voters registered and another for them to follow through.

We know they are very organized, so much so that I have never seen anything like it. The teenagers going door to door in neighborhoods telling people to vote for Obama and his Camp Obama's and all the other things.

But we have a tremendous draw with Gov. Sarah Palin, she is awesome and real. Conservatives are not known to sit home when they have a conservative to vote for especially.

Either way this will be one exciting and scary and nervous Nov. 4th and I pray we win.

Liberal Outrage: A Pro-McCain March In Manhattan

"A Pro-McCain march on the Upper West Side in Manhattan on Sunday, September 21, 2008. A group of McCain-Palin supporters dare to march through the Upper West Side - infidels in the liberal Mecca. Local "progressives" boo, jeer, and flip fingers at them with a rage they never display even to this country's enemies. We would like them to take a look at themselves in this video and maybe learn a few things about the human condition that the academia has obviously left out. "....from the person that did the video.

haha Liberals invented the definition of what rude means. I have heard in the news that Obama followers and they are followers not just voters, have stolen McCain/Palin yard signs, spray painted on garage doors the word in huge lettering ' OBAMA", keyed cars, and other things.

John McCain: "Sarah Palin's the best, forget the critics"

Victoria Sahadi, 7, dressed up as the Alaska governor/Republican vice presidential nominee.

John McCain: Sarah Palin's the best, forget the critics

NY Daily News
John McCain had a message Sunday for critics of his veep pick Sarah Palin: buzz off.

Palin has been blasted for appearing to be in over her head following a choppy, and at moments unintelligible, recent interview with CBS' Katie Couric. Some conservative Republicans have demanded she be yanked from the ticket.

McCain is having none of it.

"They can complain. I'll rely on the American people. They have responded in a way that is positive. She's brought a kind of excitement that makes you think that campaigns can be an exciting trip," McCain told ABC's "This Week."

"I'm so excited by the reaction that she has gotten across the country. She knows how to communicate directly with people. ... They respond," McCain added.

But polls show Palin's popularity waning as she has struggled to answer questions about foreign policy in the few interviews she has granted to journalists.

With even Republicans wincing over Palin's difficulty explaining the importance of Alaska's proximity to Russia in the Couric interview, McCain's camp was quick to note the many mistakes of the Democratic ticket's No. 2, Joe Biden.

Wild Thing's comment.............

I saw the interviewi with McCain Sunday morning on This Week, and McCain laughed when it was suggested Palin step down. He genuinely thinks the world of her.

I Say Unleash Both Of Them!

How McCain Wins

By WILLIAM KRISTOL

(snipet from the article)

With respect to his campaign, McCain needs to liberate his running mate from the former Bush aides brought in to handle her — aides who seem to have succeeded in importing to the Palin campaign the trademark defensive crouch of the Bush White House. McCain picked Sarah Palin in part because she’s a talented politician and communicator. He needs to free her to use her political talents and to communicate in her own voice.

I’m told McCain recently expressed unhappiness with his staff’s handling of Palin. On Sunday he dispatched his top aides Steve Schmidt and Rick Davis to join Palin in Philadelphia. They’re supposed to liberate Palin to go on the offensive as a combative conservative in the vice-presidential debate on Thursday.

That debate is important. McCain took a risk in choosing Palin. If she does poorly, it will reflect badly on his judgment. If she does well, it will be a shot in the arm for his campaign.

In the debate, Palin has to dispatch quickly any queries about herself, and confidently assert that of course she’s qualified to be vice president. She should spend her time making the case for McCain and, more important, the case against Obama. As one shrewd McCain supporter told me, “Every minute she spends not telling the American people something that makes them less well disposed to Obama is a minute wasted.”

Wild Thing's comment.........

I agree with this above, this makes me very happy, let Sarah be Sarah! She’s a kick butt conservative. Don’t try to rein her in. Her conservatism and patriotism will shine through. When she started she was doing great, if they have been trying to reign her in like they want McCain to do I am agsint that for either of them.

McCain too is at his best when he lets his passionate side shine through.His debate at Saddleback was his best and that night he did not hold back. I liked this last debate but he could have said more, hit harder and maybe he was holding back too.

The best ads McCain ran that we all loved where the hard hitting kind too.

In my opinion this is not the normal election, we are up against a man that is the most evil from the left running for President and we need to have the take no prisoner attitude with the left always.

Bush wasn’t a Conservative and we all knew that, but he did, and tried to do, some good things. He just refused to fight and/or articulate his positions to the American people. Palin will fight, turn her loose and let her do what comes naturally.

SARAH PALIN DID JUST FINE ...then "they" thought "they'd" HELP her....DON'T FIX WHAT ISN'T BROKEN PEOPLE!
LET HER BE HERSELF!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Gov. Blunt Statement on Obama Campaign’s Abusive Use of Missouri Law Enforcement

Matt Blunt was elected as Missouri's 54th Governor

Gov. Blunt Statement on Obama Campaign’s Abusive Use of Missouri Law Enforcement

Gov. Mo.Gov.

JEFFERSON CITY

Gov. Matt Blunt today issued the following statement on news reports that have exposed plans by U.S. Senator Barack Obama to use Missouri law enforcement to threaten and intimidate his critics.

“St. Louis County Circuit Attorney Bob McCulloch, St. Louis City Circuit Attorney Jennifer Joyce, Jefferson County Sheriff Glenn Boyer, and Obama and the leader of his Missouri campaign Senator Claire McCaskill have attached the stench of police state tactics to the Obama-Biden campaign.

“What Senator Obama and his helpers are doing is scandalous beyond words, the party that claims to be the party of Thomas Jefferson is abusing the justice system and offices of public trust to silence political criticism with threats of prosecution and criminal punishment.

“This abuse of the law for intimidation insults the most sacred principles and ideals of Jefferson. I can think of nothing more offensive to Jefferson’s thinking than using the power of the state to deprive Americans of their civil rights. The only conceivable purpose of Messrs. McCulloch, Obama and the others is to frighten people away from expressing themselves, to chill free and open debate, to suppress support and donations to conservative organizations targeted by this anti-civil rights, to strangle criticism of Mr. Obama, to suppress ads about his support of higher taxes, and to choke out criticism on television, radio, the Internet, blogs, e-mail and daily conversation about the election.

“Barack Obama needs to grow up. Leftist blogs and others in the press constantly say false things about me and my family. Usually, we ignore false and scurrilous accusations because the purveyors have no credibility. When necessary, we refute them. Enlisting Missouri law enforcement to intimidate people and kill free debate is reminiscent of the Sedition Acts - not a free society.”

Wild Thing's comment.............

Thank you Governor Blunt! What a great statement, and I wish it would make the national news!

So those who would prosecute are themselves breaking the law and violating their oaths of office.

If Obama wins this election he would bring about atrocities that we have never imagined happening in our Country.

Also I went HERE and clilcked on the E-mail: Constituent Services and sent a note to thank him.

A little something about Gov. Blunt:

Governor Matt Blunt was born on November 20, 1970 in Strafford, Missouri. In 1993, he graduated from the United States Naval Academy with a Bachelor of Science in History. He went on to serve as an Engineering Officer aboard the USS JACK WILLIAMS (FFG-24) and as the Navigator and Administrative Officer on the USS PETERSON (DD-969). Lieutenant Commander Blunt was mobilized to Commander Naval Activities in the United Kingdom in October of 2001 in response to the September 11, 2001 attacks on the United States. Gov. Blunt served six months in Operation Enduring Freedom and is the only statewide official in Missouri history called to active military duty in wartime. While in the Navy, he received four Navy and Marine Corps Achievement Medals as well as numerous other awards.

....Thank you Mark for sending this to me.

Phony Obama Attacks McCain in Ad Over Not Saying " Middle Class" Yet Obama Ignores Hut Dweller Brother!

I wonder how George Hussein Onyango Obama' s half brother of Barack Hussein Obama feels about Obama being a phony with his pretending to care about the middle class.

George Hussein Onyango Obama is living in a hut in the "tough" town of Huruma on the outskirts of Nairobi.

Wild Thing's comment............

Obama's campaign quickly produced an advertisement criticizing McCain for never uttering the term "middle class" in the debate. Campaign manager David Plouffe held a conference call with reporters where he called McCain's efforts to paint Obama as inexperienced on foreign affairs "sophomoric."

When I was growing up my Father would discuss politics a lot and the differences in the political parties.

One of the many differences was how those on the left insist on labeling people.
Young vs. Old
Rich vs. Middle Class
Rich vs. Poor
Healthy vs. Sick
Black vs. White

etc.

Labels are important to the left, it separates people it divides a population into little tidy boxes for the left to use as a tool in their agenda. It is NEVER we are all Americans in the left thinking. They are the ones with the hyphen not those of us on the right.

I could care less if McCain mentioned the middle class in the debate. I could care less if Obama did. What the hell does that have to do with Foreign policy and what the debate was supposed to be about.

Obama's mentality of the workers of the world unite BS makes me sick! I have met enough of those kind of people in my life to know when I see them coming I know I am going to hear the " I hate the rich" mantra from them as they point their index finger as close to your nose as possible, and then shake it at you to try and intimidate you as best they can.

I have seen Nicholas stop these @#$%&#*@ in their tracks by simply saying one thing to them they cannot refute........
" Well I never worked for a poor person! ".

I swear they NEVER can answer back with that one. They can't because they know there is no comeback.

Obama is like many that have financially done well but are communists like those we hear from in Hollyweird and non Hollywood people that have been blessed to do well in life but hate the rich. Go figure that one out. hahaha Like hating the hand that feeds them or something. It is the way of thinking that comes along with being a good communist.

If Obama cared so much about the poor or even the middle class having to be mentioned then he certainly does not show it. His campaign put that Girl Scouts leader through the ropes that I posted about as she was just trying to get a few free things from his campaign for the girls. McCain 's camp gave freely. And Obama has a lot more money in his campaign then McCain does.

Obama could care less about his half brother living in a hut, or his black grandmother as well. I mean wouldn't you think a man that had become the Democrat candidate for President would have proudly had his WHOLE freaking family in Denver. Blacks and whites and PAID their way there and introduce them or something to the crowd??????

After the debate McCain headed back to Washington to work on the economy bailout thing. What did Obama do?????? He headed out to do another campaign rally.

Obama's Marxist's Indoctrination Camps

“We cannot continue to rely on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives that we've set,” said Obama on July 2. “We've got to have a civilian national security force that's just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded.”-Barrack Hussein Obama

This camp has no campfire sing-alongs, no marshmallow roasts, no knotty-walled log cabins to sleep in. Instead, campers spend their days inside a drab office building, with walls adorned with maps.

Barack Obama is inspiring a new generation of people to come in, and a lot of people have not been involved in the political process before," says Hans Riemer, national youth vote director for the Obama campaign.

"We are training them, teaching them how to be effective, showing them what their role is in our strategy to win the election ... We're taking people from raw enthusiasm to capable organizers."

"The most important thing is that they understand they are an important part of our strategy to win the election. This is not for show, this is not to feel good; this is to get trained and help us to win this election."

Obama Youth

The Obama Supporters have stooped to a new low!

This video is a reminder how Adolf Hitler exploited the young people of Germany as members of The Hitler Youth!

No Presidential Candidate in our history has caused this effect on families to enlist their children to this kind of exploitation!

The first part of the video are things from the past in history, but keep watching if you have time and about half way through it shows the children of today and it absolutely turned my stomach to see this happening.

Susan shares her story with fellow campers at the National Camp Obama in Burbank, California.

These camps are all across our country in various States. MA, N.Y.Nevada, etc. I think in every State.

The story telling exercises are the foundation of the model being used at Camp Obama. But they are not the end goal of the training. After a day of story telling, then came the nuts and bolts: training and exercises on how to function as an effective team, skills training for volunteer recruitment and voter contact and review and explanations of field plans for Georgia, South Carolina and the rest of the South.

The teams, which were organized by Congressional districts, were guided through a process of setting goals and making a plan to achieve them. While still at the training, thirteen different teams scheduled thirteen different volunteer recruitment meetings back in the districts--and picked up their cell phones to get 284 commitments to attend from friends and neighbors. Getting those immediate results fired everyone up and the closing ceremony, in which every participant received a certificate, was incredibly high-energy and emotional.

This handful of Camp Obama teams are supposed to be just the beginning of the Obama organization in their Congressional districts. The goal they are carrying back with them is to establish parallel teams of five to eight people to be responsible for cities and neighborhoods all the way down to the precinct level.

If Obama wins the election much of this will be continued after he is in the White House.

Wild Thing's comment...........

I have posted about the Obama camps before but that was during the primaries and I thought he would have stopped them once he became the Democrat candidate for President. But he continues then and like I found out will continue something like this after he is in the White House if he wins the election.

Obama is going to cause a civil war in this country. This is the indoctrination into the Saul Alinksy method, channeled by Obama. It is, indeed, a fearful time for America.You know, it really is not hyperbole to compare this to Hitler Youth. Seriously though, this man is truly terrifying. The more people like us try to point out Obama’s fascist tendencies and the almost religious devotion that his followers have, the more the “moderate” liberals and the MSM deride us. To their peril.

There is so little opposition to the things Obama says or does; at best, they wish he used even more ruthless fascist tactics. Between now and November 4, it is our duty to let all those we know that this is not merely another election, that Obama is not just a tax-and-spend liberal, but that—like Hitler—he is attempting to use democracy to destroy it.

We need more conservative/republican teachers in our schools and universities , these mush brains have been taught by dedicated liberals so far to the left that communism is their god. Obama IS the ONE THEY have been waiting for just as his other followers have been as well. I include in this the majority of the media and the politicians on the left also. The Code Pink people that are known communists rejoice for the ONE to lead them into the land of socialism. communism and Marxism.

Here are a few more glaring facts:

1. Obama thugs attempting to get a Chicago Talk radio program shut down because the host interviewed an author critical of Obama.

2. The Democrats in Congress speaking about a reintroduction of the Fairness Doctrine.

3. The signs that have been banned on public ground at an Obama rally in Virginia today.

4. What Obama is attempting in St. Louis, MO (use of law enforcement to shut down free speech that the Obama camp calls lies). This has the Governor publishing statements and looking into Civil Right’s violations.

5. Obama himself telling his throngs in Nevada to get in people’s faces, argue with them, harass them etc...

6. Obama’s lawyers threatening the NRA with legal action for an ad they have running about Obama’s views on the 2nd Amendment.

And I’ve no doubt the list goes on; not to mention the massive voter fraud that is happening in one of Obama’s pet organizations, ACORN. A corrupt vile blight on the American public that the Democrat majority in Congress wish to fund in their socialist bailout of Wall Street.

Did you catch Jim Lehrer’s slip during the debate Friday night when he said, “One of these men will be the next man to RULE the country?”

Turbulent times bring great men to the fore.

Churchill said, “We will never surrender!” He reminded the world that Nazism was so horrible that even if the world succumbed to its initial might, the very human spirit would one day rise up against it and defeat it.

McCain Stars At First Presidential Debate in Oxford, Mississippi

These are some of McCain's responses I really liked.

McCain-......" I’m not going to set the White House visitors schedule before I’m president of the United States. I don’t even have a seal yet."
ROTFLMAO!! OH my gosh that should be on a t-shirt or a sticker!!!!!!!!! Holy cow, he’s smacking him down.

"There are some advantages to experience and knowlege."

“I don’t need on the job training.” LOL

“I looked into Putin’s eyes and I saw three letters; a K, a G, and a B”.

Obama's one liners:

“I’ve traveled and met with veterans.” - OBAMA ( hey Obama there is one standing right next to you!)

More notes:

OH my gosh! What a total jerk Obama is. First Obama butts in then McCain tries to say his piece and Obama tells Jim, lets move on! While McCain is talking!! Obama just said “Let’s Move on...” Who the hell is the moderator? Apparently freaking Obama. LMAO, Obama is debating and moderating, too.

LOL ....Now McCain isn’t letting Obama interrupt him. Too funny.

Arrogance, elitism..Obama, he’s got the total package.

Obama just used McCain own words “walk the walk, talk the talk” what a loser!

Not ONCE did 0bama mention Israel. Obama has not mentioned supporting Israel, defending Israel, sharing a common interest and history. NOT ONCE. McCain gave him openings to mention at least 3 times, but Obama’s OMISSION of Israel in his speech and silence on any support for Israel by the US demonstrates once again how oh he will side with his PLO buddies.

I’m loving the way McCain is rattling off the names of places, people, and important strategical points in the Russia-Georgia-Ukraine situation. He’s on top of it, and all Obambi can say is “we have to rebuild the Georgian economy.”

I just realized he’s only said “my friend” once, if I’ve counted correctly. McCain’s staff must be working on getting him to limit his use of the phrase.

McCain started out slowly but is heading into the home stretch appearing more seasoned and more experienced than Obama which of course he is.

-- Wild Thing

From the debate last night, here are THREE critical foreign policy & security issues on which I believe Obama has made himself (and potentially our nation) extremely vulnerable. --- Wild Thing

(1) MISSILE DEFENSE: Obama lied (or flip-flopped without admitting it) on his position re missile defense. Tonight he claimed he supports it, when he is on video giving a left-wing rant calling for termination of funding for "unproven" missile defense:

Obama will Gut the Military

(2) RUSSIA-GEORGIA CONFLICT: Mis-Represents his own position on Russia-Georgia as it "evolved".... he did NOT take the position on Russia-Georgia on the FIRST day of the conflict that he eventually took by day 3.

3) PRESIDENTIAL SUMMIT WITH IRANIAN LEADERS, NO PRE-CONDITIONS: Obama mis-represents Henry Kissinger's position on Iran in order to pretend that Kissing agrees with the Obamanation. If a Republican candidate in a Presidential debate had just grossly mis-represented the position of the most famous living diplomat on an issue of such vital importance, in order to claim non-existent support for his own position (which position itself is in the midst of major flip-flops), the media would flay that candidate alive and the election is over. It is a measure of the depth and breadth of media bias that this will not even be a blip on the screen, or if they do feel any need to address it they will do so as apologists for the Obamanation.

Kissinger is TICKED and discussed this immediately after the debate!

The Weekly Standard Exclusive: Kissinger Unhappy About Obama

TWS

Henry Kissinger believes Barack Obama misstated his views on diplomacy with US adversaries and is not happy about being mischaracterized. He says: "Senator McCain is right. I would not recommend the next President of the United States engage in talks with Iran at the Presidential level. My views on this issue are entirely compatible with the views of my friend Senator John McCain. We do not agree on everything, but we do agree that any negotiations with Iran must be geared to reality."

(3a) PRESIDENTIAL SUMMIT MEETINGS: re: follow-up to (3) above, not only is Obama mis-representing Kissinger's position, but he is LYING (or flip-flopping without ackknowledgement) about his own pledge to hold direct meetings with leaders of Iran, Syria, Venezuela, etc..... (now says he does expect "preparations" etc. - trying to backpeddle on what he actually did say in Democrat debate in July 2007).

Obambi Said YES that HE as President would meet with "leaders of Syria, Iran, Venezuela...." during his first year in office ... no preconditions

Here's the beginning of the blowout if only the MSM could be forced to report it - Obama is LYING about his previous position on meeting with leaders of Iran, etc.:

"Asked if the candidates would be willing to meet “with leaders of Syria, Iran, Venezuela" during their first year in office, Obama immediately said yes and added, “the notion that somehow not talking to countries is punishment to them — which has been the guiding diplomatic principle of this administration — is ridiculous.” These are 3 different vitally important foreign policy issues on which Obambi stumbled, crumbled, fumbled, and/or LIED about his past positions/stands.

This election would be OVER if we actually had a professional, unbiased, competent media.

More on original context for Obama's position on Presidential direct negotiations with the world's worst regimes:

Obama on Meeting With leaders of Iran, Syria, Venezuela, etc.

cnn

"The question was a simple one but it elicited one of the few differences between Sens. Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama so far in the race for the 2008 Democratic presidential nomination:

"Would you be willing to meet separately during the first year of your administration, with leaders of Syria, Iran, Venezuela and others to bridge the gap between our countries?"

"Obama said he would be willing to have such meetings."

"The notion that somehow not talking to countries is punishment to them — which has been the guiding diplomatic principle of this administration — is ridiculous," explained Obama."

Obama Truth Squad ~ Obama Prosecutors will "prosecute you for "lies" about Obama"

Missouri pro-Obama prosecutors will prosecute you for "lies" about Obama

Obama campaign cracks down on misleading TV ads

The Barack Obama campaign is asking Missouri law enforcement to target anyone who lies or runs a misleading TV ad during the presidential campaign.

KMOV

This video should shake you to your core. Obama supporters in Missouri are blatantly announcing that law enforcement will be used to prosecute you if you are part of campaign ads that tell, in their opinion, "lies" about Barack Obama.

And we thought the Clinton machine was bad? This is frightening. When will the lies be prosecuted about Palin, McCain, and Limbaugh? The answer is, they won't.

Is the Obama campaign sending the law after critics?

National Examiner

Have I gone insane, or is KMOV in St. Louis, Missouri, actually reporting that "Senator Barack Obama's presidential campaign is asking Missouri law enforcement to target anyone who lies or runs a misleading television ad during the presidential campaign"?

The report goes on to say that "prosecutors and sheriffs from across Missouri are joining something called the Barack Obama truth squad."

Look, politicians are all about lies. It may be annoying (I find it entertaining), but that's for their opponents and good-government groups to counter -- not law enforcement. That's especially true since whether or not criticism is "misleading" is open to debate. What's being said may be simply a different interpretation, a bit of spin -- or a better version of the truth than candidates and their friends like.

Even if the officeholders joining the "truth squad" are nominally stepping out of their official roles in order to put on their (political) party hats and play politics, it's inappropriate. They wield too much power to use it to wag their fingers at people who say un-nice things about political hopefuls. Prosecutors and sheriffs are, after all, normally thought of as people with the clout to put their targets behind bars.

Somebody, please drop me a note to tell me that the station has it all wrong.

By the way, if the report is accurate, it fits all too well with the legal threats the Democratic candidate's campaign is leveling against TV stations that run NRA ads critical of Barack Obama.

It is not only in this one State of Missouri look at this....................

Obama-Biden Campaign Rolls Out Pennsylvania Truth Squad

Obama-Biden Campaign Rolls Out Pennsylvania Truth Squad
Collection of leaders from around the state will give the facts in the face of McCain’s lies

Today the Obama-Biden campaign is putting the McCain campaign on notice by rolling out the Pennsylvania Truth Squad — a group of 19 elected and community leaders from around the state who will be proactive in letting Pennsylvanians know the truth in the face of the distortions by the McCain campaign.

In Philadelphia, Gov. Ed Rendell, Mayor Michael Nutter and other members of the Truth Squad will kick off their efforts today with a press conference on Independence Mall.

In Harrisburg, AFL-CIO President Bill George, SEIU Executive Director Eileen Connolly and Secretary of the Department of Environmental Protection Kate McGinty will hold a press conference on the steps of the Capitol building.

The mission of the Truth Squad will be to respond quickly, forcefully, and aggressively when John McCain or his allies launch inaccurate claims about Barack Obama, or when they distort John McCain’s record or plans.

Judging by how much the McCain campaign has lied and distorted over the past 2 months, the Truth Squad is expecting to be deployed regularly over these final 6 weeks. The full list of “Pennsylvania Truth Squad” members will be released today.

Event Details:
WHAT: Press Conference
WHO: Gov. Rendell and Mayor Nutter
WHEN: 2 p.m., Monday, September 22, 2008
WHERE: Free Speech Zone
5th and Market, Philadelphia, PA 19106

WHAT: Press Conference
WHO: AFL-CIO President Bill George, SEIU President and Eileen Connolly, Exec. Director of SEIU
WHEN: 1 p.m., Monday, September 22, 2008
WHERE: In front of the Capitol, Harrisburg

Wild Thing's comment..........

Obama has big ears and an ugly bump on his face. next to his nose. LOL Take that you jerk! You can take that commie, Muslim Hussein Obama.

Back in July, the Obama campaign said it opposed the “Fairness Doctrine”.

They are trying to scare people into silence.

This is about intimidation and suppressing the truth about Obama. I don’t think they believe they can make it stick, but they are counting on people being intimidated into silence.

You can guarantee that they define a “lie about 0bama” as anything negative about him. I don’t see how they can even conceive of this, it is so illegal. If he wins our freedoms are gone. But right not he has NOT won the Presidency.

TV stations, radio stations and newspapers hear threats like this all the time. It will not intimidate them for one second. Some individuals might be afraid to write a letter to the editor, but the news will not stop.

Thomas Jefferson said........

"When in the Course of human events it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation."

"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. — That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed,

That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.

Nina Easton on McCain's Good Debate

I think Obama ran out of answers or something............

Wild Thing's comment........

Nina is a democrat as far as I know so this was a pleasant surprise to hear her take on the debate.

I have a question, did anyone that saw the debate notice something in Obama's ear? I have talked to a few others that said they said it too. I have to wonder if he was being fed information while he was on stage. I was kidding that it was his teleprompter in his ear, but maybe one of his advisors for the topic for last night was giving him input.

300 Retired Generals And Admirals Endorse John McCain For President

300 Retired Generals And Admirals Endorse John McCain For President

ARLINGTON, VA

U.S. Senator John McCain's presidential campaign today announced that 300 retired generals and admirals from around the country are endorsing John McCain for president. The retired generals and admirals announced their support with the following letter:

"We have had the honor and privilege of serving as career officers in the United States Armed Forces, and of serving shoulder to shoulder with so many of the fine young men and women who are the backbone of America's Army, Navy, Air Force, Marine Corps and Coast Guard. It is that experience that informs our judgment that John McCain is the presidential candidate best suited to serve as America's Commander-in Chief from the day of his inauguration.

"Our next president will confront national security challenges as significant as those faced by any administration in at least a generation. Success will require a leader with proven tenacity, judgment and courage. It will also require a leader with detailed knowledge of our military and other instruments of national power, and with years of experience dealing seriously with foreign leaders.

"John McCain's entire life has been devoted to the service of America. Throughout a long and distinguished career in the military and in Congress, he has repeatedly displayed the courage and integrity to place America's interests first -- regardless of personal cost. And he has demonstrated the experience and wisdom to lead America -- and, importantly, our allies -- in effectively dealing with complex and vitally important national security challenges around the world.

"We unequivocally endorse him to continue his service to the country as the next President of the United States."

Wild Thing's comment.......

I guess Obama has a list like this of community organizers, thugs, terroriosts like Ayers, etc.

I’d love to see a short TV with a number of these retired officers saying why they support John McCain.

As ech one speaks, tey could flash that person’s name and rank below their picture.

I think it’d be a powerful ad.

Are You Dizzy Yet? The Debate Is Back On.

The debate is on. McCain heading to Mississippi

The statement from McCain’s campaign:

John McCain’s decision to suspend his campaign was made in the hopes that politics could be set aside to address our economic crisis. In response, Americans saw a familiar spectacle in Washington. At a moment of crisis that threatened the economic security of American families, Washington played the blame game rather than work together to find a solution that would avert a collapse of financial markets without squandering hundreds of billions of taxpayers’ money to bailout bankers and brokers who bet their fortunes on unsafe lending practices. Both parties in both houses of Congress and the administration needed to come together to find a solution that would deserve the trust of the American people. And while there were attempts to do that, much of yesterday was spent fighting over who would get the credit for a deal and who would get the blame for failure. There was no deal or offer yesterday that had a majority of support in Congress. There was no deal yesterday that included adequate protections for the taxpayers. It is not enough to cut deals behind closed doors and then try to force it on the rest of Congress — especially when it amounts to thousands of dollars for every American family. The difference between Barack Obama and John McCain was apparent during the White House meeting yesterday where Barack Obama’s priority was political posturing in his opening monologue defending the package as it stands. John McCain listened to all sides so he could help focus the debate on finding a bipartisan resolution that is in the interest of taxpayers and homeowners. The Democratic interests stood together in opposition to an agreement that would accommodate additional taxpayer protections. Senator McCain has spent the morning talking to members of the Administration, members of the Senate, and members of the House. He is optimistic that there has been significant progress toward a bipartisan agreement now that there is a framework for all parties to be represented in negotiations, including Representative Blunt as a designated negotiator for House Republicans. The McCain campaign is resuming all activities and the Senator will travel to the debate this afternoon. Following the debate, he will return to Washington to ensure that all voices and interests are represented in the final agreement, especially those of taxpayers and homeowners.

Wild Thing's comment.........

Please Senator McCain, please, please, please, please expose these Rats for the lying, corrupt bastards that they are. PLEASE call them out on this on LIVE NAT’L TV! I beg you!

McCain exposed and then killed the backroom deal the Rat leadership tried to cut with some second eschelon neocon republicans that would saddle every man woman and child (legal or not) with over 3K of debt. Killing that left McCain in the catbird's seat.

The ball has been moved considerably closer on a deal that is better than what the rats were trying to back room deal and shove down the tax payers throats. McCain came across as presidential for doing what he did and it exposed Obama as the fool he is.

Personally it would have been good if McCain had raised the stakes and stayed in Washington. But I am no expert at things like this. The fact that Obama made a fool of himself is something McCain can use and I hope he does.

If they are nto moving fast enough in Washington then McCain might as well do the debate since this is a subject he knows a lot about. That is another way to look at this too.

I am not trying to cover both sides of this but trying to understand it. hahaha One thing it very well could mean is that some kind of deal has been reached in Washington and the clean up is what is going on now with the conservatiuve Republicans and the evil democarts. We will have to wait and see.

I just hope McCain wipes the floor with HO-bama tonight in the debate!!!!!

Other then that good Lord this is the craziset time to be living in, but thank God we are all living in it even if we shake our heads and our blood is boiling most of the time.

Obama Trying To Silence NRA Latest Ad Campaign

Barack Obama’s campaign is trying to silence the National Rifle Association’s latest ad campaign using strong arm tactics by threatening them with possible legal action if they run the ads:

Failure to prevent the airing of “false and misleading advertising” may be “probative of an underlying abdication of licensee responsibility” Cosmopolitan Broad. Corp v. FCC, 581 F.2d 917, 927 (D.C. Cir. 1978).

So basically, stop running NRA’s ads, or your broadcast license could be in jeopardy. They detail the WaPo’s FactCheck.org repetition as proof. This is Chicago politics at its finest folks. If you can’t win fair, win dirty. This is not how a free society is supposed to function. This is not the kind of man I want leading my country.

Besides, every bit of what NRA claimed is true. It’s the Obama campaign and the news media that’s lying. The ads are based on a real, proven record.

Wild Thing's comment........

Communists can not allow opposing poits of view. What is encouraging is the NRA ads must be hitting the mark to draw this reaction.

What a thug Obama is, maybe we should call the ticket.....Thug and Plugs.

Noah Craft and Michael Fratkin Play Doctor in Vicious Obama anti-McCain ad

McCain has already released 1,173 pages of medical records!!!! - Wild Thing

CBS News for complete article

The details of McCain's health are contained in 1,173 pages of medical documents spanning 2000 to 2008 that his campaign made available to the Associated Press to make the case that he's healthy enough to serve as president, as well as to counter the notion that he's too old. McCain will turn 72 in August and would be the oldest elected president.

Among other medical issues outlined in the reports, McCain is praised for his cardiovascular fitness, described as "considerably younger physiologically" by a doctor after his performance on a heart stress test this year.

CBC's Henry Champ said the report is good news for McCain.

"All in all, I would say at a minimum that is an 'A' grading," Champ said, "and most people will be content to accept that he is healthy for the job."

Wild Thing's comment..........

Yes they are doctors but I would not go to a doctor that did not examine me and then put out some kind of a press release or video like this about my health. So Yesss to me they are BS doctors and dangerous as well to any patient that would even go to people like this.

Would someone remind me about the health records we got on “I never had sex with that women” Bill Clinton I don’t remember his ever showing anything to the public in 8 years.

How about records of Hillary’s health?

HOW ABOUT OBAMA'S?? The presidential candidate who hasn’t released his medical records is Obama, not McCain so I’m not sure why this guy is calling out for his medical records to be released. Does he have long-term effects from hard drug usage in past years?

Way to go, Ploufe and Axlerod! Imply that anyone over 70 has one foot in the grave, or (at least) Alzheimer’s.

That line of attack ought to play REALLY WELL to the gray panther set.

Oh, and don’t forget that seniors have one “affliction” that the youngsters don’t seem to be bothered with... they VOTE consistently.

I think McCain’s 96 year old alert, sharp mom, should smack the crap out of this guy.

What a pathetic attempt to attack an honored Veteran of the USA.

Now let's check out this Noah Craft, M.D. shall we.

Let's start first with his website

Noah Craft, M.D.

So he is a doctor at the David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA.

This idiot doctor diagnosed a patient without actually seeing, talking to, or examining that patient. Or without the blood tests and CAT scans or MRI’s.

Certifications:
Medical Board Certification: Dermatology, American Board of Dermatology, 2005

Soooo this doctor has forgotten that he’s only a dermatologist!

The Geffen connection is interesting. ( he is gay and has made his money in Geffen records,, American record executive, film producer, theatrical producer and philanthropist.etc)

The “Gay Mafia” is rather quietly playing a larger and larger role in Democratic politics.

They were one of the earliest groups behind Kerry, not because Kerry was gay, but because they saw him as the most gay-friendly of the dem candidates.

They were rather quietly, but hugely behind Hillary.

And Obama and his wife have catered big time to them and to their causes.

Reid to McCain: Don't Come Back to Capitol

Reid to McCain: Don't Come Back to Capitol

A Democrat tells ABC News that, in a phone call late this afternoon, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., told Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., that it would NOT be helpful for him to come back to Washington, D.C., to work on the Wall Street bailout bill.

McCain this afternoon suspended his campaign and said he would skip the first presidential debate in order to return to Capitol Hill to work on the log-jammed Bush administration legislation, which, as of Wednesday afternoon, was in peril.

McCain had phoned Reid to ask about the prospects of him, Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill., and others to sit down and work together on hammering out a bipartisan proposal.

"Sorry," Reid said to him, a Democrat close to Reid says.

Reid then read McCain the statement he had just put out:

"This is a critical time for our country," says the Reid statement. "While I appreciate that both candidates have signaled their willingness to help, Congress and the administration have a process in place to reach a solution to this unprecedented financial crisis. I understand that the candidates are putting together a joint statement at Sen. Obama’s suggestion. But it would not be helpful at this time to have them come back during these negotiations and risk injecting presidential politics into this process or distract important talks about the future of our nation’s economy. If that changes, we will call upon them. We need leadership; not a campaign photo op. If there were ever a time for both candidates to hold a debate before the American people about this serious challenge, it is now.”

Wild Thing's comment...............

McCain is a sitting senator!!!! What right does this Harry Reid character to tell McCain he shouldn’t come back. It was the Dem’s who caused all this in the first place!

Red is ticked, his vacation plans are being messed up.LOL

McCain could always remind Reid that McCain, Obama, and Biden are all accepting paychecks for doing the work of the Senate.

Hey Harry they need you in Las Vegas they are bankrupt!

McCain has really smoked all of these jerks out. They don’t lead. They follow and nip at other’s heels.

Uh Um Uh Candidate aka Obama Told To Report To The Principal's Office

President Bush called Obama directly to invite him to the meeting, White House press secretary Dana Perino said. An Obama spokesman said the senator would attend.

Wild Thing's comment.........

Obama hates Bush, speaks disparagingly of him every day. It was reported on Fox that McCain is the one that told GWB to call Obama. It was McCain's idea, that tells me he has something up his sleeve. No way does Bush want to screw McCain or the Republicans, there is something we don't know.

Democrats Are To Blame For This Mess

This video from Fox news just came out yesterday, and it is an EXCELLENT report on the origins of this mess.

This is a Democrat-made mess.
by Rush Limbaugh

The headline in the New York Times today: "McCain's Aide's Firm was Paid by Freddie Mac -- One of the giant mortgage companies at the heart of the credit crisis paid $15,000 a month from the end of 2005 through last month to a firm owned by Senator John McCain's campaign manager," Rick Davis.

The McCain people are livid. They have put out a response on their website that refutes all of this.

This is not even bias. This is propaganda. It is false, it is provably false, and what it ignores is that Obama -- and they don't even mention it! -- Obama received $109,000 from Freddie Mac or Fannie Mae, one of the two. In just two and a half years in the Senate. It took Chris Dodd about nine years to accrue $120,000 from Fannie Mae. Obama did it in less than two years. How the hell does that happen? What the story also does not mention, ladies and gentlemen, is that it was John McCain who authored and cosponsored legislation to make stricter regulation oversight of both of these things, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, going back to '05 and to '06.

McCain is the one guy -- a lot of Republicans, the president, a lot of Republicans -- who came in and said, "You guys are out of control in there and this is going to lead to a major problem," tried to set up new regulations. The Democrats blocked it at every turn. I'm at a loss to explain this, other than to describe it as simply the New York Times as willingly, openly, and in-front-of-the-world decided to become an official arm of the Obama campaign. This is an unpaid ad is what this is. This is an unpaid campaign ad filled with propaganda that is designed to destroy McCain.

Guess what, folks. Paul Begala was also a consultant here. Not a lobbyist, he was a consultant here.

He was a paid consultant to Freddie Mac until this month, and who is Begala for in this whole race? Look it, the bottom line in this damn thing is this. It was constructed and run by Democrats. It is filth. It is raw sewage sulking around in there, and it's of their making, and it has presented a crisis to the US economy, and it was all based on liberalism. Liberal, socialist ideas created Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac and then raped them and distorted their original purpose, when the Democrats turned this thing into nothing more than a personal piggy bank for each other and their party.

How Democrat Thieves Looted Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac

by Rush Limbaugh

Now, let's review a little history here. Long before the subprime crisis, the Bush administration not only warned of impending calamity, they had a plan to avert it. Fannie Mae, under the leadership of Clinton appointee Franklin Raines, who's now an Obama insider, economic advisor, and Freddie Mac, had issued over one-and-a-half trillion dollars in loans, but their accounting was in shambles. The agency that Congress set up to monitor them had failed to rein 'em in, so on September 11, 2003 -- this is five years ago -- President Bush proposed the agency that Congress set up to monitor them. He proposed what the New York Times called the most significant regulatory overhaul in the housing finance industry since the savings and loan crisis. The New York Times called it that. Central to Bush's proposal was creating a new agency to oversee Fannie and Freddie.

Franklin Raines, a hundred million dollars over I think seven years working at Fannie Mae while running it into the ground. He was also OMB director working for Clinton, making his usual $150,000 a year. That's chump change. These people go to Washington, and they siphon stuff. all of these programs are fraudulent. How many congressmen have we heard about, these stories, they arrive with nothing and they leave with a net worth of millions. There's only one way this can happen, and that is deals with contributors, lobbyists. So it's the largest stash of money that's just waiting to be taken in the form of legitimate grants, commissions, personal fees for what have you. It's just waiting there to be grabbed. And guess where liberals gravitate? Washington, DC. You know, we conservatives look at Washington as someplace we want to be smaller. We don't target our lives to take control of government. We target our lives to try to limit its size and influence. Liberals, government is God, government is religion, government is their nirvana. They seek jobs there for the purpose of infesting the place with each other in lifetime-appointed positions so as to forever control as much of life in this country as possible, and when they can, grab a little from the till. And they do it.

Even though Bush proposed a new oversight committee, the Democrats said no way. They cried foul. Barney Frank said these two entities, Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, they're not facing any kind of financial crisis.

Barney Frank, "They're not facing any kind of financial crisis." Melvin Watt, Democrat, North Carolina, he agreed. He accused Bush of wanting this oversight committee so he could weaken the bargaining power of poorer families

So this was nothing more than Barack Obama-type cynicism and racism, Melvin Watt accusing Bush of weakening the bargaining power of poor families. So, Democrats did not pay any attention to any of the problems going on, they looked the other way. In fact they made the problems even worse by extending loans to people in greater numbers who couldn't pay them back. So, instead of solving the problem, Democrat insiders kept using Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac as personal piggy banks, Clinton-era policies fueled the giveaway that is now in the famous words of Jeremiah Wright, coming home to roost. Democrats fought every effort, every reform, and now they're rewriting history. It's just a sitting duck. It's just a sitting duck issue.

Next we have Daniel Mudd, 2005 on Capitol Hill, Fannie Mae, Interim CEO.

From an old Tape on Mudd ....this is his interim swearing-in ceremony, Daniel Mudd. He's phrasing the Congressional Black Caucus for helping save Fannie Mae.

MUDD: I am humbled to come here today to reaffirm the friendship and the partnership between Fannie Mae and the Congressional Black Caucus. Fannie Mae is determined to keep tearing down the barriers to deliver on the American dream and that means we need to work together with the CBC.

Rush: He's phrasing the Congressional Black Caucus for helping save Fannie Mae. This is all about Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, out of control. They had a regulatory agency looking over their shoulder, they had no authority, they were in trouble starting all the way back in 1997.

I know Obama's running around blaming Bush and the Republicans and so forth, which is typical, but this is a sitting duck issue for McCain and Palin to blame the real culprits here, and that is Democrats in Congress.

I'm telling you when it comes to this stuff, whether it's Hurricane Katrina and the aftermath, I don't care whatever problem you talk about, all roads lead to Congress, in this case the Democrat Congress back in the nineties. Congress writes the laws. Congress sets up the way these government-run institutions, even with so-called private sector involvement, are going to operate. And then when the excrement hits the fan, guess who gets to act like they were clueless and had no idea what was going on and they get to investigate? The very people who messed it up, set it up in the first place. The very people who create the problem then investigate it as though they were innocent bystanders and spectators and then they give themselves even more control of the mess they made ostensibly out of benevolence to fix it. And remember all this chatter during campaign finance reform that money in the electoral process was corrupting good people, and I never thought that was the case.

I never thought that our electoral system and campaign contributions and donations was corrupting in and of itself, but I'll tell you, that large stash of money sitting around waiting to be looted by people in Washington, various degrees of power, I am telling you there is a level of corruption in that town with people thinking that all money is theirs, what you end up with is what they decide you should have. They do not realize that that big pile of money is produced by one thing, the collective work and productivity of the American people. If the American people didn't work and produce and weren't paying confiscatory taxes, that big pile of money wouldn't be there. These people create nothing; they produce nothing. They gum up the private sector, they clog it you with all kinds of things, then they act like they had nothing to do with it, then they come in and fix it and appoint themselves an oversight role that gives them even more power over the so-called fixed situation.

The point is, this problem started back in the nineties with the Clintons demanding the end of redlining. That's really where this starts, the end of redlining. Redlining was a bogus charge that lending institutions would look at the race of the applicant and just refuse on the basis of race, not on the basis of anything else, it was racist, redlining was racist, and I don't doubt that it happened in some cases. So the fix for it, always an overstep, it's always an overreach. So to extend the American dream to everybody, they said, "Get rid of redlining and loan money to people that can't pay it back. That's the way we're going to fix it." It's sort of like affirmative action.

We lent more money to people that can't pay it back than any company in history. And that money is now gone! And, by the way, we're not a company; we are a government-run outfit. This whole notion that Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac are private sector things with little government ownership, you can't have any government ownership in a private sector entity and still call it private sector.

So here this guy, MUDD, is, he's showing up, this is after Frank Raines, all this corruption, this is 2005, and this guy shows up and he falls on the sword for the Congressional Black Caucus, you're our hope, you're our dream, you are the people who kept us together and this and that, you are our family. I humbly ask you to help us and to help me. Now, what the hell does this tell you that the root of the problem is?

More of what MUDD said is played by Rush with Rush interjecting throughout the playing of the audio tape:

MUDD: We will work hard inside our company to resolve the serious matters before us, to put our house in order, and to forge a new future.

RUSH: That really worked.

MUDD: And all the while, you will see Fannie Mae reaching out and listening to the caucus.

RUSH: Yeah.

MUDD: Over a century of endeavor you have earned the reputation as the conscience of Congress.

RUSH: Don't make me gag.

MUDD: In many ways, I want to tell you today you're also the conscience of Fannie Mae.

RUSH: Well, now we know.

MUDD: -- keep us on course to serve those who need serving the most.

RUSH: There you have it, all roads lead to Congress. I mean I have never heard somebody kiss ass in public like this in my life. I mean I may have. I just don't remember it. But I mean this guy, is he still around, or is he sick with anal poisoning? Daniel Mudd, anybody seen Daniel Mudd lately? This, ladies and gentlemen, identifies the el problemo, for those of you in Nevada, Florida, Colorado, and Nebraska listening to Obama ads.

RUSH: By the way, we found out where Daniel Mudd, by the way, he's Roger Mudd's son, of CBS fame. This is Braden Keil at the New York Post from just three days ago. "As more than a million US homeowners face devastating mortgage foreclosures, ousted Fannie Mae CEO Daniel Mudd continues to live in an opulent Washington, DC, mansion replete with expansive gardens, servants' quarters and a home theater. Mudd, whose former company," Fannie Mae, don't call this a company "is being bailed out by billions in taxpayer dollars, calls home a 22-room Colonial mansion on Newark Street in tony Cleveland Park, built on the former property of President Grover Cleveland. The eight-bedroom, eight-bath pad includes large public rooms with fireplaces, a home theater, a gym, a wine cellar, a solarium, servants' quarters, a terrace off the master-bedroom suite, and a gourmet kitchen. The gated, landscaped property also features a pool, fountains, gardens and a guesthouse.

"The property is so lavish that some company employees dubbed it 'Mudd Manor.' And they're furious that the executive at the helm of the ship as it sank into profound crisis has surfaced relatively unscathed, at least for now. 'Hey, he lost his limo and corner suite [at the office], but Mudd Manor is not a bad place to contemplate your next move,' said a bitter Fannie Mae employee who requested anonymity. 'Most Fannie Mae employees are reeling from their employee stock-option-plan account balances' going to cents on the dollar.' Mudd, the son of former newsman Roger Mudd and descendent of Dr. Samuel Mudd, who treated Lincoln's assassin, John Wilkes Booth, did not return calls for comment." Now, by the way, something else you need to know here. "Under the terms of his employment contract, Daniel Mudd," who you just heard bowing down and kissing the rear of the Congressional Black Caucus in 2005, "Under the terms of his employment contract, Mudd could collect $9.3 million in severance pay, retirement benefits and compensation, as long as his dismissal was 'without cause.' His salary last year was $900,000, although in a radio interview last month, he didn't deny reports that he raked in a total of $43 million in stock options, bonuses and overall compensation through the years."

So you add this to Franklin Raines' 100 million and Jim Johnson, what he ever got out of it, and Jamie Gorelick's part of the group that got $75 million out of Fannie Mae, and you see precisely what this was. It was indeed a Democrat Party piggy bank disguised as a lending agency for people who couldn't afford anything. Now, the piece de resistance. "Democratic Sens. Barack Obama, Chuck Schumer, and Jack Reed have written to Treasury Secretary Hank Paulson to object to golden parachutes for Mudd and ousted Freddie Mac Chairman Richard Syron, saying it would be 'a gross violation of the public trust.'" Yeah, they had to do that. Obama already got his money out of there in the form of campaign contributions and so forth.

Wild Thing's comment..........

I realize this is a LONG post and I am so sorry, but this is so important to get these facts. Rush has links at his site to back up everything he said and played on this show.

Enough of the lies from the left blaming Bush, McCain and what the heck Palin. This above is from facts, the in your face to the democrats facts that we should know about.

What is the difference in Democrats and terrorists? The terrorists want us dead. They both want to destroy our country, they both have an agenda to take over our country, they both lie, and they BOTH destroy everything they are involved with. Like the way the terrorists destroyed the beauty and wonderful farms the Israeli's kept in Gaza, the terrorists went in and burned and destroyed them.....and this was AFTER Gaza was handed over to the evil terrorists!!!!

The same thing with the democrats they get into our politics and destroy commerce, busiiness ( small and large), want to tax we the citizens to death, lie, cheat and steal. Are the most corrupt of both parties and are the enemy within our country. They keep us from drilling where we should and could be for oil that we have in abundance. They could care less if their own voters are paying big money for gas and with winter coming.

Regarding the military both democrats and terrorists are on the same side imo. I am speaking of the democrats of today and for the last 50 years.

They mess up and then blame those that kept warning that things were going wrong and needed to be fixed. Well I am sick of it!!!!!!

McCain Campaign Launches Coalition to Protect Coal Jobs

The Coal Miner

McCain Campaign Launches Coalition to Protect Coal Jobs

ARLINGTON, VA -- U.S. Senator John McCain's presidential campaign today launched the Coalition to Protect Coal Jobs. The coalition, a nationwide group including members of Congress, state government and other influential leaders, will spread the message about the importance of clean coal technology and the advantages of tapping the country's vast coal reserves. The group will also speak out to protect critical coal jobs when they come under attack from the most anti-American energy ticket in history.

In addition to providing domestic energy, the coal industry is a critical part of the economy in several states. As part of John McCain's "all of the above" energy plan, the Lexington Project, clean coal will be a key component of the drive to energy independence.

John McCain's support for clean coal technology is in sharp contrast with both Barack Obama and his running mate, Joe Biden. Earlier this year Barack Obama said, "What we ought to tax is dirty energy, like coal" and just last week, Joe Biden claimed to be a "hard-coal miner" on his trip to Virginia, saying that it was "nice to be back in coal country." Yet a few days earlier in Ohio, Senator Biden said he wants "no coal plants here in America" and that he and Barack Obama are "not supporting clean coal."

Obama's Legislative Record Shows He Has Opposed Coal:

In 2007, Obama Voted Against Mandating The Production Of Six Billion Gallons Of Clean Coal-Derived Fuels. "Bunning, R-Ky., amendment no. 1628 to the Reid, D-Nev., substitute amendment no. 1502.

The Bunning amendment would mandate that 6 billion gallons of clean coal-derived fuels' be produced by 2022. It would define these fuels as having 20 percent fewer greenhouse gas emissions than gasoline and being produced by facilities that capture 100 percent of carbon dioxide emissions." (H.R. 6, CQ Vote #213: Rejected 39-55: R 39-6; D 0-47; I 0-2, 6/19/07, Obama Voted Nay)

Obama: "The Bunning amendment would have been premature in requiring the production of billions of gallons of coal-to-liquids without providing strong environmental safeguards to ensure that this new fuel alleviates, not worsens, our climate crisis."

(Sen. Barack Obama, "Obama Statement On Coal-To-Liquid Fuel Proposals," Press Release, 6/19/07)

In 2007, Obama Voted Against Authorizing Funds For Coal-To-Liquid Fuels. "Inhofe, R-Okla., amendment no. 1505 to the Reid substitute amendment no. 1502. The Inhofe amendment would expedite the permitting process for the expansion of refinery facilities and authorize funds for the development of coal-to-liquid and cellulosic biomass fuels." (H.R. 6, CQ Vote #210: Rejected 43-52: R 43-2; D 0-48; I 0-2, 6/13/07, Obama Voted Nay)

The article is very long and has several comments, you can go HERE to read the entire article or scan it.

Wild Thing's comment..............

This whole Obama thing is not pro working class.

Battle ground states currently; NM, CO, PA, VA, WV, OH

All produce coal. Obama and Biden have given statements that they want to end coal burning. Coal mining will suffer.

Joe Biden claimed to be a “hard-coal miner” on his trip to Virginia, saying that it was “nice to be back in coal country. Yet a few days earlier in Ohio, Senator Biden said he wants “no coal plants here in America” and that he and Barack Obama are “not supporting clean coal.”

McCain Suspends Campaign to Help With Bailout

McCain Suspends Campaign to Help With Bailout

TRANSCRIPT from Rush Limbaugh show

John McCain announced that he will suspend his presidential campaign on Thursday to return to Washington to help with bailout negotiations. He urged his opponent Barack Obama to do the same.

The Arizona senator also asked the Presidential Debate Commission to postpone Friday’s scheduled debate with Obama so that he can work on the financial crisis bailout plan now on Capitol Hill.

“America this week faces an historic crisis in our financial system. We must pass legislation to address this crisis. If we do not, credit will dry up, with devastating consequences for our economy. People will no longer be able to buy homes and their life savings will be at stake. Businesses will not have enough money to pay their employees. If we do not act, ever corner of our country will be impacted. We cannot allow this to happen,” McCain said.

I just checked my email and had this from the McCain / Palin campaign:

John McCain's Remarks on the Economic Crisis
New York, NY
Wednesday, September 24, 2008

"America this week faces an historic crisis in our financial system. We must pass legislation to address this crisis. If we do not, credit will dry up, with devastating consequences for our economy. People will no longer be able to buy homes and their life savings will be at stake. Businesses will not have enough money to pay their employees. If we do not act, ever corner of our country will be impacted. We cannot allow this to happen.

Last Friday, I laid out my proposal and I have since discussed my priorities and concerns with the bill the Administration has put forward. Senator Obama has expressed his priorities and concerns. This morning, I met with a group of economic advisers to talk about the proposal on the table and the steps that we should take going forward. I have also spoken with members of Congress to hear their perspective.

It has become clear that no consensus has developed to support the Administration's proposal. I do not believe that the plan on the table will pass as it currently stands, and we are running out of time.

Tomorrow morning, I will suspend my campaign and return to Washington after speaking at the Clinton Global Initiative. I have spoken to Senator Obama and informed him of my decision and have asked him to join me.

I am calling on the President to convene a meeting with the leadership from both houses of Congress, including Senator Obama and myself. It is time for both parties to come together to solve this problem.

We must meet as Americans, not as Democrats or Republicans, and we must meet until this crisis is resolved. I am directing my campaign to work with the Obama campaign and the commission on presidential debates to delay Friday night's debate until we have taken action to address this crisis.

I am confident that before the markets open on Monday we can achieve consensus on legislation that will stabilize our financial markets, protect taxpayers and homeowners, and earn the confidence of the American people. All we must do to achieve this is temporarily set politics aside, and I am committed to doing so.

Following September 11th, our national leaders came together at a time of crisis. We must show that kind of patriotism now. Americans across our country lament the fact that partisan divisions in Washington have prevented us from addressing our national challenges. Now is our chance to come together to prove that Washington is once again capable of leading this country. "

Wild Thing's comment............

Obama will debate by himself...with his teleprompter. Sorry I could not rssist.

This move is genius. Palin is doing all the campaigning anyway. McBrilliant is doing it again! I think right now all senators should be back at their posts in Washington.

It smacks of a gutsy move albeit a gamble. His campaign’s theme is country first. I think he should simply state, “I was not willing to lose a war to win a campaign and I am not willing to win a campaign to ignore the crisis that the economy is in.”

McCain is smart now.

Obama is in a box.

Blamed if he doesn’t go back to Congress as a “care-nothing about real Americans”

Blamed if he does go back to Congress because he would be following “McCain’s lead.

This smacks of statesmanship. He is putting his country before his own ambition. This is the old, veteran statesman and war hero reporting for duty to put his country first.

He is also forcing 0bama's hand to put a vote on the record on this issue, thus making it impossible for Zero to use it as a campaign issue.

This is widely considered to be the biggest financial crisis since 1929. McCain is making the right choice here, and returning to do what he was elected to do.

And, moreover, as a political statement the timing is impeccable. Obama cannot complain about the request to postpone the debate without showing himself to be unconcerned about the problem.

Now he's either going to have to suspend his own campaign and follow McCain back to DC (a great ad); or he will not suspend his campaign, and will open himself to criticism about his inability to identify real problems (an even better ad, because his response to the Russia/Georgia mess is of the same gormless type).

Just by doing the right thing, and acting like a grown-up, McCain will score big points against Obama, just as a happy side-effect.

It’s a direct challenge to Obama, not only on economic issues, but a challenge to the 3am phone call. McCain has picked up the phone and made decisions, will Obama pick it up or let it ring off the hook?

Obama is remaining on the campaign trail.

Haha! "You can take my beretta, Senator Obama, WHEN YOU PRY IT FROM MY COLD, DEAD HANDS!"

Hehehehe!

I think it is marvelous and right on!

Obama is the one that is a clear and PRESENT danger to the US.

Gaffe-a-day Joe Biden

Joe Biden is known for not holding back and, in an exclusive interview with Katie Couric, he talks candidly about the upcoming debate and the attack ad against McCain he thought was "terrible."

Biden, in his interview with Katie Couric, was copying off the wrong classmate’s exam again. “When the stock market crashed, Franklin Roosevelt got on the television and didn’t just talk about the princes of greed. He said, ‘look, here’s what happened.’” Two problems here: Television did not exist in 1929, and FDR was elected in 1932.

Katie Couric talking to Joe Biden. She said, "Are you disappointed with the tone of the campaign and 'lipstick and the pig' stuff, some of the ads? You guys haven't been completely guilt free, making fun of John McCain's inability to use a computer."

BIDEN: I thought that was terrible.

COURIC: Why did you do it, then?

BIDEN: I didn't know we did it, and if I had anything to do with it, we'd have never done it, and I don't think Barack -- you know, I mean I just think that was, uh --

COURIC: Did Barack Obama approve that ad? He said he did, right?

BIDEN: Yeah, the answer is -- I -- I don't think anything's intentional about that. (rimshot) They were trying to make another point.

Then Biden caught himself because the commercial ended, "I'm Barack Obama, and I approved this message.

BIDEN: Part of what a leader does is to instill confidence, to demonstrate that he or she knows what they're talking about and communicates to people. If you listen to me and follow what I'm suggesting, we can fix this. (rimshot) Stock market crash, Franklin Roosevelt got on television and didn't just talk about the, you know, the princes of greed, he said, "Look, here's what happened."

From RUSH Limbaugh: There was no TV in 1929! Nobody was on TV in 1929, is the first gaffe. The second gaffe is that FDR wasn't president in 1929. Herbert Hoover was! Biden, the third gaffe is blowing a chance to blame Republicans for the Depression back in '29 for Herbert Hoover and saying, "Bush and McCain are the new Hoovers."

And then September 17th, this is five days ago, six days ago now in Ohio during a rope line visit, Senator Biden shaking hands and environmental activist Carolyn Auwaerter says, "Wind and solar are flourishing here in Ohio, so why are you supporting clean coal?"

RUSH: Okay, so an environmentalist comes up, "Why are you doing coal?" "We're not doing coal! Screw you! The ChiComs are doing coal. They're building two or three of these coal plants a week. They're killing people. They're polluting America! No more coal plants in the United States." Really? Hey, Joe, do you realize where a lot of coal miners in this country work. Do you realize what state they're in? It's West Virginia. It's called a state that you need? By the way, Obama has an ad that says he is for clean coal. Here it is.

OBAMA: I'm Barack Obama, and I approved this message.

MAN: (sappy music) Barack originates from Chicago, but he came to southern Illinois and seen the devastation and the loss of the jobs in this coal industry. War-shington, DC, is not listening to us. Barack understands us.

ANNOUNCER: In Illinois and the US Senate, Barack Obama helped lead the fight for clean coal, to protect our environment, and save good-paying American jobs.

RUSH: There's a graphic in this ad that says, "The Obama record: $200 million for clean coal." That ad has just been thrown under the bus by Joe Biden. Listen to sound bite number seven again. I think it's number seven. I put it away. Yep, you just heard the Obama ad on the record, $200 million for clean coal, clean energy, get rid of oil. We're going to go coal all the way, baby. And here's Biden, September 17th, with an environmentalist wacko shouting at him, why are you supporting clean coal?

BIDEN: We're not supporting clean coal! Guess what? China's building two every week, two dirty coal plants. And it's polluting the United States! It's causing people to die! The first guy to introduce a global warming bill was me, 22 years ago. The first guy to support solar energy is me, 26 years ago. Came out of Delaware. But guess what? China's going to burn 300 years of bad coal, once we figure out how to clean their coal up because it's going to ruin your lungs and there's nothing we can do about it. No coal plants here in America, build 'em, if they're going to build them over there, make 'em clean, because they're killing you!

RUSH: Now, put yourself in the Obama campaign headquarters. You're David Axelrod in there and you're writing Obama's next speech and you're writing the next answers to his next questions. And the phone rings, and someone says, "You know, Biden just said that you guys ran a really cruel ad on McCain; if he'd have had anything to do with it, he wouldn't have run it." "He said what?" "Yeah, that's what he said." Then the phone rings again: "Biden's out there saying no more clean coal plants in the United States when Obama has pledged $200 million to build more clean coal plants." (laughing) You see why I'm giving some of this stuff credence that the theory is have him just say all these off-the-wall, wacko things that they just can't abide anymore? We're not through. We're not through.

Yesterday in Baltimore at the National Guard Association conference, Senator Biden again.

BIDEN: If you want to know where Al-Qaeda lives, you want to know where Bin Laden is, come back to Afghanistan with me. (rimshot) Come back to the area where my helicopter was forced down, a three-star general and three United States senators at 10,500 feet in the middle of those mountains. I can tell you where they are.

RUSH: He's speaking to the National Guard. So he didn't say he was "shot down," but when you say that you're in a helicopter with a general and two other senators and you are "forced down" and you're in a military helicopter, what in the world does he want people to think? He wanted them to think it was mechanical or that they got shot down. So they went and asked John Kerry about this, the haughty John Kerry (by the way, he served in Vietnam) 'cause he was on the trip, and I think Chuck Hagel was there, too. I forget who the other senator was. And Kerry -- who was probably clueless about the context -- "Oh, snowstorm. Nobody predicted it. It came outta nowhere. We barely got down there, and had some troops come rescue us. It wasn't a bad place to be, but snowstorm that forced us down." Now, remember, this is the new snipper fire (sic), because Hillary was fired on in the green zone and I think Biden said he got fired on in the green zone, right? Hillary's dodged snipper fire in the green zone. (laughing) These guys, the transparent badge of courage.

We got one more. On the Today Show today, Matt Lauer talking to The Messiah, and Lauer says, "Look, as part of this whole economic picture, the AIG situation? On Tuesday night the Fed decided to bail 'em out, huge amount of money.

That morning, prior to the bailout, John McCain said that the federal government should not bail out AIG. You chastised him," and then Lauer added this. Cut nine.

LAUER: Three minutes later, in an interview with Meredith Vieira, Joe Biden, your running mate --

OBAMA: Right.

LAUER: -- was asked the exact same --

OBAMA: Right.

LAUER: -- question --

OBAMA: Yeah.

LAUER: Should the federal government bail out AIG?

OBAMA: Yeah. Yeah.

LAUER: And he said no.

OBAMA: Well, then I -- Yeah.

LAUER: The federal government should not bail out AIG.

OBAMA: And I think -- and I think -- and I think, uh, uh, that in that situation I think Joe should have waited as well.

RUSH: You know, if Sarah Palin had said half the things that Biden is saying, what do you think the media would be doing to her? What do you think they'd be doing to her? Folks, do you realize it may be time for a brand-new Operation Chaos? I don't know if we'd call it Operation Chaos, maybe call it Operation Save Joe Biden. The operation's objective would be to keep Biden on the ticket, if for no other reason than programming assistance for this program.

RUSH: We found another one. We don't have any audio on this, but we found another one. Now, keep in mind Biden told Katie Couric last night that he's gotta be careful about what he says 'cause Republicans are going to jump on every word. (laughing) So he's being careful! (laughing) This is Biden disciplined. This statement was made on September 20th, three days ago. It's an MSNBC story. He was in Castlewood, Virginia, and at a campaign event the question of gun control came up. Biden said, "Barack Obama...." (laughing) "Barack Obama ain't taking my shotguns, so don't buy that malarkey. If he tries to fool with my Beretta, he's got a problem." Did the Secret Service call Biden and say, "Did you just threaten a presidential candidate?" (laughing) Folks, folks, we have a new program, SOB: Save our Biden -- Operation Sling Blade. (laughing) I begged them! I begged them. (interruption) No, it's from MSNBC! I've got it right here. Biden: "Don't Fool with My Beretta," by Carrie Dann from NBC/NJ's Mike Memoli.

RUSH: I've got the link right here. I just read it off the computer, and it's The MSNBC First Read website, like ABC's The Note. All right. "Castlewood, VA -- Joe Biden took on an even folksier tone than usual as he campaigned in rural southwest Virginia this afternoon." This is September 20th, a Saturday. "Though his focus was again on economic issues, he deviated from script to talk about an issue not often discussed by the Democrats: guns.

The Delaware senator predicted that Republicans would seek to sway voters by threatening that Obama would take away guns. Biden, claiming to be a gun-owner himself who likes 'that little over and under,' called that notion bogus. 'Barack Obama ain't taking my shotguns, so don't buy that malarkey,' he said. 'If he tries to fool with my Beretta, he's got a problem.'

I wonder if the Secret Service called Biden and said, "Did you just threaten...?"

Anyway, at this little rural place in Virginia he decided, off the cuff, that he'd better get into gun control. Kerry went into someplace in Ohio or Indiana, Illinois, somewhere, "Is this where I get me a hunting license?"

They have this impression of people in rural areas, so Biden thought he would score some points by talking about gun control, and he said, "Barack Obama ain't taking my shotguns, so don't buy that malarkey. If Obama tries to fool with my Beretta, he's got a problem." Well, this jogged Mr. Snerdley's memory. We went back to the audio archives, July 23rd, 2007, Charleston, South Carolina, during what we all remember the CNN/YouTube debate where viewers sent in their questions and the on-the-spot editors at CNN chose the ones that would be used. And I'm sure that CNN chose this one because they wanted to make Republican rural voters look like hayseed hicks. The viewer in this case, Jared Townsend, and his question to all the candidates: "Tell me your position on gun control. As myself and other Americans really want to know if our babies are safe," and he held up his gun. "This is my baby, purchased under the 1994 gun ban." He held up his rifle, "Please tell me your views. Thank you." Anderson Cooper said, "Senator Biden, are you going to be able to keep his baby safe, meaning his guns?"

BIDEN: If that's his baby, he needs help. (rimshot) I don't know that he's mentally qualified to own that gun. I'm the guy that originally wrote the assault weapons ban. Look, we should be working with law enforcement right now to make sure that we protect people against people who don't -- are not capable of knowing what to do with a gun because they're either mentally imbalanced and/or because they have a criminal record.

RUSH: Okay, so a guy holds up his gun, loves his gun, "You gonna protect my baby?" And Biden, this guy's insane! He's not mentally qualified to own the gun. If that's his baby, he needs help. Saturday, Joe Biden: "Barack Obama ain't taking my shotguns, don't buy that malarkey. If he tries to fool with my Beretta, he's got a problem." Again, folks, a new Operation Chaos, it's called SOB, Save Our Biden, Operation Sling Blade. We need to keep this guy in the campaign.

Wild Thing's comment........

LMAO I love how he put this together.

That was a transcript from the Rush Limbaugh show. LMAO I love how Rush does so much homework for his show, he excells and this is one of the reasons. I love how he listed some of the latest gaffe's and how they came about.

Thank goodness Rush is on our side. And thank God Biden is NOT. hahahaha

I sure hope Obama does not change his VP. That would be horrible for many reasons.

If you look up the definition of “loose cannon” in the encyclopedia, iti would be Joe Biden's picture is in the entry.

5th Grader Suspended For Anti-Obama Shirt

5th Grader Suspended For Anti-Obama Shirt

My Fox Colorado

AURORA (MyFOXColorado.com) - An 11-year-old in Aurora says his first amendment rights are being trampled after he was suspended for wearing a homemade shirt that reads "Obama is a terrorist's best friend."

The fifth grader at Aurora Frontier K-8 School wore it on a day when students were asked to wear red, white and blue to show their patriotism.

The boy's father Dann Dalton describes himself as a "proud conservative" who has taken part in some controversial anti-abortion protests. Dalton says the school made a major mistake by suspending his son for wearing the shirt.

"It's the public school system," Dalton says. "Let's be honest, it's full of liberal loons."

According the the boy's father, the school district told the student, Daxx Dalton, that he had the choice of changing his shirt, turning his shirt inside out or being suspended.

Daxx chose suspension.

"They're taking away my right of freedom of speech," he says. "If I have the right to wear this shirt I'm going to use it. And if the only way to use it is get suspended, then I'm going to get suspended."

Daxx's dad agrees with him and is encouraging his son to stand his ground. "The facts are his rights were violated. Period."

Aurora Public Schools would not talk about the case but said the district "Respects a student's right to free speech, such as the right to wear specific clothing," but administrators say they review any situation that interrupts the learning environment.

Paperwork submitted by the school district says Daxx Dalton was not suspended for wearing the shirt, but for willful disobedience and defiance.

The boy's father says he intends to pursue a lawsuit against the district.

Now let's contrast this to the story above:

LANSDALE, Pa., Dec. 13, 2005

CBS news

A Pennsylvania student is off the hook after the American Civil Liberties Union defended his right to wear a political T-shirt to school.

Chris Schiano's T-shirt said "International Terrorist" and had a picture of President Bush.

A security guard at his high school north of Philadelphia told him to take it off. He refused.

Schiano says he's well versed in the First Amendment. He says he "knew right off they had no legal footing to stand on."

The principal says after hearing from the ACLU, school officials realized that the shirt, while potentially offensive, didn't violate the school's dress code. It had no references to sex, drugs, ethnic intimidation or explicit language.

Schiano says he's now wearing the shirt to school and no one's given him a hard time.

In February 2003, school officials ordered a 16-year-old in Michigan to either take off a T-shirt emblazoned with the words "International Terrorist" and a picture of President Bush or go home, saying they worried it would inflame passions at the school where a majority of students are Arab-American.

The student, Bretton Barber, chose to go home. He said he wore the shirt to express his anti-war position and for a class assignment in which he wrote a compare-contrast essay on Mr. Bush and Iraqi President Saddam Hussein.

Wild Thing's comment..............

Obama has been endorsed by Hamas, Hezbollah, Farrakhan, Ahmedinijad, and Castro. And he is a close associate of his (Ayers) bombed the Pentagon while a member of a terrorist organization.

The writing on the kid’s T-shirt is entirely accurate.

So do you think the ACLU will come stand up for this kids rights, like they did the second story?

....Thank you Mark for sending this to me.

Obama Tells Followers To Crash and Create Chaos at MCain Palin Events.

Obama is telling his followers to crash and create chaos at MCain Palin events.

Obama's website where they are instructing their followers to do such a thing. Also it is easier to read at the site due to size.

Protest the McCain/Palin appearance in Media, PA (Organizing)
Anti-McCain Protest: Media, PA Stop The Lies! Hosted by: Greater Media Nether Providence PA Team Where: Delaware County Courthouse When: Monday, Sept 22nd, 3:00 pm

The rally event Monday that McCain and Palin did had a new addition to it that was not seen much before.

The people who had been in attendance mentioned that there were Obama supporters there staging a protest. Some that attended mentioned that the Obama people there and they were loudly chanting Obama's name during McCain and Palin's speeches. Others reported that they were shouted at by the Obama people as they left the event venue.

A Democrat Committee Person from Franklin Township, PA named Mark Ungemach posted an "event" announcement on Barack Obama's campaign website for this protest.

Obama cannot claim to be innocent on this, because he did instruct his people to "to "get in their faces"!.

Wild Thing's comment..............

Politics....Alinsky Style.

I’m not sure if this applies specifically to campaign events, but it deal with intimidation of voters, attempting to force them to vote a certain way.

Rev.Al Sharpton and His the “Not This Time” Tour

Sharpton: 'We will never have this opportunity again'

Final Call

We’ll never have this opportunity again,” said the Rev. Al Sharpton, taking to the streets for what appeared to be an emergency cross country tour in September.

He hopes to rejuvenate the Obama excitement that some say has waned since the Democratic National Convention last month.

“What we’ve got to tell people is what’s at stake; that we’re dealing now with the new unemployment. Unemployment is higher than it’s been in four years, we are seeing the education and health care of our people as worse than it ever was. We cannot afford to not vote,” Rev. Sharpton said in an interview with the NNPA News Service.

“On top of that, we’ve never been this close. As African Americans we’ve never been this close to a qualified African American who represents the right thing. If he didn’t represent the right thing and he wasn’t qualified, there wouldn’t be anything to be excited about. But, we will never have this opportunity again in our lifetime and we can’t flow with being complacent.”

Rev. Sharpton took that message on a bus tour campaigning for voter turnout in Black communities of key swing and battleground states—including Ohio, Missouri, Michigan, Florida, Pennsylvania, and North Carolina.

In North Carolina alone, more than a half million qualified Blacks are not registered to vote, Rev. Sharpton said.

“I think we could lose it. When you see 600,000 unregistered in North Carolina and when you look at about the same in Georgia, the amount of those voters registered and turning out could turn those states,” he said.

In America’s Electoral College system, the presidential candidate who gets the most votes in a state wins the state and electoral votes assigned to the state.

“We could, by not coming out, cause the electoral votes to go to McCain and he could become the next president,” said Rev. Sharpton.

Perhaps the best example of this was the fight over Florida’s 25 electoral votes in the 2000 election. Al Gore had more popular votes. But, with the Supreme Court’s decision to give George W. Bush the win in Florida, he took the presidency with more electoral votes.

Rev. Sharpton, calling his tour the “Not This Time” voter education and registration campaign, said his aim is also to eliminate voter fraud.

Going into the Democratic Convention, Sen. Obama was running well ahead of Sen. McCain.

Some polls showed him fluctuating between five-seven percentage points ahead of the GOP nominee. However, Sen. McCain’s nomination of vice presidential running mate Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, a charismatic speaker, added fire to his once dry campaign. Polls numbers remain extremely tight.

“I think that the dynamics of the campaign has changed and there needs to be a lot more of a grassroots effort. A lot of the excitement seems to have waned,” said Rev. Sharpton. “And I think that there must be some real efforts from the bottom up to energize the base and bring the base out.”

Rev. Sharpton said he will not get into personalities or partisanship on the road. Rather, he will mainly stick to a message about the issues as he travels through grassroots communities.

Anti-Iran Rally Turns Into Anti-Obama Rally

A woman holds a "Where is Sarah?" sign at an anti-Iran rally outside United Nations headquarters during the 63rd General Assembly in NYC. Activists from Jewish organizations demonstrated Monday against Iran at UN headquarters in New York

Anti-Iran Rally Turns Into Anti-Obama Rally (We Want Sarah!)

Jewish Groups Furious That Protest Against Ahmadinejad Was, At Times, A Pro-Palin, Bash-The-Dems Affair

wcbs.tv.com

Politics and diplomacy were not a good mix at Monday's protest rally against Iran at the United Nations.

Hillary Clinton and Sarah Palin didn't participate in the "Stop Iran Now" rally and there were a lot of hard feelings about it.

It was a simple sign that read "We Want Sarah. Shame On The Rally Organizer."

Howard Webber from Brooklyn held it.

"As important an event as this is, you needed a unity of Democrats and Republicans to show Ahmadinejad that we're not going to accept a nuclear Iran."

Buddy Macy of Little Fells, N.J., felt much the same way.

"I'm so disappointed, upset," Macy said. "She would have brought 10,000-20,000 more supporters of Israel. People who were curious were stopped because of partisan action."

The brouhaha started after Clinton pulled out after she learned Palin was invited. Three organizations supporting the rally threatened to pull out unless Palin was disinvited. She was but organizers didn't stop there.

They were furious Monday about the political signs brought by some at the rally, like an anti-Obama sign that said, "Jews Against Obama & Ahmadinejad."

"I am upset by the sign because this is a non-political event," said Janice Shorenstein, president of the Jewish Community Relations Council. "We are here today to cry out against Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, not political. American elections are not part of this event."

Congressman Anthony Wiener disagreed.

"I think this is a classic political event in the best sense of the word. Politicians from all corners come here to speak out against Iran," Wiener said. "I think it would have been fine for Sarah to speak. We just needed someone of equal stature from the Obama campaign to speak."

The question is what are the political repercussions not to have politicians speak at the rally?

"Republicans benefitted more than the Democrats did," political consultant Hank Sheinkopf said. "Why? Sarah Palin wanted to be there, but it looks like she was purposely told not to and rejected. It gives her standing, particularly among those people who are thinking about voting Republican anyway."

"Jewish Groups Furious That Protest Against Ahmadinejad Was, At Times, A Pro-Palin, Bash-The-Dems Affair"\

LOL tuff! The only Jewish people that would be THAT ticked off about Sarah Palin's name being mentioned would be Democrats. Democrats that voted for Kerry. Gore, Bill Clinton and now will be voting for Obama.

Sarah Palin has the Israel Flag in her office in Alaska, does Obam have a flag of Israel anywhere? NO he has Che poster on one of his campaign offices walls. He wants to sit down with the President of Iran and have a touchie feelie meeting of how wonderful the Islam calll to prayer is to him. The Obama campaign supports Ahmedinejad, the Hams and the PLO.

There are amazing and wonderful Jewish people and they are also conservatives and are excited about Palin and were upset that she was disinvited to this rally at the UN. Those that demanded to disinvite Palin, every one of them was a Democrat for Obama. And they disgust me !

"this is a non-political event," said Janice Shorenstein, president of the Jewish Community Relations Council."

This woman is an idiot!!! Oh Ms. Shorenstein, politics have everything to do with the support of Israel. Obama is not and will ne ver be on the side of Israel! Janice Shorenstein thinks putting her head under the covers will make the bogeyman go away. Sadly, there is a pattern here.

Liberals Say If Obama Loses It Will Be Due To Democrat White Racism

Rhett Butler to theh Liberals! heh heh .........................

Liberals Warnings About Obama Loss May Prove Self-Fulfilling

by Dennis Prager

If Barack Obama loses the 2008 election, liberal hell will break loose.

Seven weeks before the 2008 presidential election, liberals are warning America that if Barack Obama loses, it is because Americans are racist. Of course, that this means that Democrats (and independents) are racist, since Republicans will vote Republican regardless of the race of the Democrat, is an irony apparently lost on the Democrats making these charges.

That an Obama loss will be due to racism is becoming as normative a liberal belief as “Bush Lied, People Died,” a belief has generated intense rage among many liberals. But “Obama lost because of white racism” will be even more enraging. Rage over the Iraq War has largely focused on President George W. Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney. But if Obama loses, liberal rage will focus on millions of fellow Americans and on American society.

And it could become a rage the likes of which America has not seen in a long time, if ever. It will first and foremost come from within black America. The deep emotional connection that nearly every black American has to an Obama victory is difficult for even empathetic non-blacks to measure. A major evangelical pastor told me that even evangelical black pastors who share every conservative value with white evangelical pastors, including pro-life views on abortion, will vote for Obama. They feel their very dignity is on the line.

That is why the growing chorus -- already nearing unanimity -- of liberal commentators and politicians ascribing an Obama loss to American racism is so dangerous.

Andrew Sullivan of (set ital) The Atlantic: (end ital) “White racism means that Obama needs more than a small but clear lead to win.”

Jack Cafferty of CNN: “The polls remain close. Doesn’t make sense … unless it’s race.”

Jacob Weisberg of (set ital) Newsweek and Slate: (end ital) “The reason Obama isn't ahead right now is … the color of his skin. … If Obama loses, our children will grow up thinking of equal opportunity as a myth.”

Nicholas D. Kristof of (set ital) New York Times: (end ital) “Religious prejudice (against Obama) is becoming a proxy for racial prejudice.”

Gerald W. McEntee, president of the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees, in a speech to union workers: “Are you going to give up your house and your job and your children's futures because he's black?”

Similar comments have been made by Kansas’s Gov. Kathleen Sebelius, a Democrat, and by writers in (set ital) Time (end ital) magazine. And according to The Associated Press: “A poll conducted by The Associated Press and Yahoo News, in conjunction with Stanford University, revealed that a fairly significant percentage of Democrats and independents may not vote for Sen. Barack Obama because of his race.” If you read the poll, it does not in fact suggest this conclusion. The pollsters assert that any person with any negative view of black life means that the person is racist and means that he would not vote for Obama. Both conclusions are unwarranted. But “Obama will lose because of racism” is how the poll takers and the media spin it.

Why do liberals believe that if Obama loses it will be due to white racism?

One reason is the liberal elite’s contempt for white Americans with less education -- even if they are Democrats.

A second reason is that it is inconceivable to most liberals that an Obama loss -- especially a narrow one -- will be due to Obama’s liberal views or inexperience or to admiration for John McCain.

The third reason is that the further left you go, the more insular you get. Americans on the left tend to talk only to one another; study only under left-wing teachers; and read only fellow leftists. That is why it is a shock to so many liberals when a Republican wins a national election -- where do all these Republican voters come from? And that in turn explains why liberals ascribe Republican presidential victories to unfair election tactics (“Swift-boating” is the liberals’ reason for the 2004 Republican victory). In any fair election, Americans will see the left’s light.

If Obama loses, it will not be deemed plausible that Americans have again rejected a liberal candidate, indeed the one with the most liberal voting record in the U.S. Senate. Liberals will explain an Obama defeat as another nefarious Republican victory. Combining contempt for many rural and middle-class white Americans with a longstanding belief in the inevitability of a Democratic victory in 2008 (after all, everyone they talk to despises the Republicans and believes Republicans have led the country to ruin), there will be only one reason Obama did not win -- white racism.

One executive at a black radio station told me when I interviewed him on my radio show at the Democratic National Convention that he could easily see riots if Obama loses a closely contested election. Interestingly, he said he thought blacks would be far more accepting of a big McCain victory.

I pray he is wrong on the first point. But it does seem that liberals are continuing to do whatever they can to increase anger at America, or at least at “white America.” For 40 years, liberals have described the most open and tolerant society on earth as racist and xenophobic. If Barack Obama loses, the results of this liberal depiction of America may become frighteningly apparent.

And there is also this......................

AP's Racist Poll: If Obama Loses It's Because He's Black

rest of article and charts HERE

Are you getting tired of the mainstream media meme that if you're white and you don't vote for Barack Obama it's because you're a racist? Or that if John McCain wins, it's because he's white and Obama isn't?

Well, on Saturday, the Associated Press and Yahoo News released results of a new poll, and the major take by AP writers Ron Fournier and Trevor Thompson was that if Obama loses, it's because of "[d]eep-seated racial misgivings" held by "one-third of white Democrats."

Sadly, like most polls this year claiming to deal with how racism is impacting this campaign, no questions were asked to determine how deep-seated racial misgivings of black Democrats are guiding their choice for president

Deep-seated racial misgivings could cost Barack Obama the White House if the election is close, according to an AP-Yahoo News poll that found one-third of white Democrats harbor negative views toward blacks — many calling them "lazy," "violent," responsible for their own troubles.

More than a third of all white Democrats and independents — voters Obama can't win the White House without — agreed with at least one negative adjective about blacks, according to the survey, and they are significantly less likely to vote for Obama than those who don't have such views.

Such numbers are a harsh dose of reality in a campaign for the history books.

Wild Thing's comment............

I’m not going to be threatened by these people. This is a free country, and I hope to see that it stays that way.

President of the United States is not an affirmative action position!!! And it better not ever be!!!!

I’m not too concerned about the Lib elite inciting blacks to riot if they loose. Nothing I can do about that — if the blacks riot, they riot.

But what DOES concern me is that we need to win this by a healthy margin, or the Libs are going to flood close states with thug lawyers to try to tie this up in court, with the goal to steal the election.

This is a pile of BS about it being a black thing. The Democrats have proved this with Clarence Thomas, Michael Steele and others that are black and they could have cared less. They HATED these blacks because of what they stand for, what their beliefs are and their high charater. What the left did to these two fine men is unforgivable!!!

Will blacks riot if Obama does not win? There may be some, but it's really going to backfire on those perpetrating the violence; I recall the burning and looting of South Central after the Rodney King verdict, just how stupid and crazy Blacks were to destroy businesses and homes owned by other minorities simply because they didn't want to risk getting arrested and/or shot at in the San Fernando and Simi Valley's, or Beverly HIlls, Pacific Palisades anywhere else that was not heavily a black area. I also recall Rep. Maxine Waters (D-CA) encouraging the rage.

The various law enforcement agencies around the country (especially those in the major Blue cities) are probably already planning to be prepared to keep it to a minimum.

Once again with all of this and I bet we hear more of it before Nov. 4th, is that this is a form of a threat to anyone that will not vote for their anti-American B. Hussein Obama.

....Thank you Mark for the article.

If It Was Up to Obama, This Woman Would be Dead

Gianna Jessen of BornAliveTruth.org on Hannity & Colmes

If It Was Up to Obama, This Woman Would be Dead

No, I’m not talking about Sarah Palin, I’m talking about Gianna Jessen.

If it was up to the abominable Obama, the to-be-aborted little baby, Gianna Jessen, would have been turned into worm dirt 31 years ago. Thankfully, Mr. Change and Mr. Hope wasn’t around back then to lay his liberal legislative death-dealing pen to Ms. Jessen’s fate—and the world is a better place for it.

So, who is Gianna Jessen?

Gianna is an abortion survivor. Yep, she kicked death’s butt and survived against all odds. Her medical records state that she was “born during a saline abortion,” and if Barack Obama would have had his way, she wouldn’t be here.

Barack Obama voted four times against affording these “born alives” their most basic human right. Chilling, eh? How progressive of you, liberals. Hitler would be proud, and I’m sure Satan is just giddy with your creative ways to slay that inconvenient little baby even if it survives your initial assault.

Jessen, with a Pit Bull spirit, survived being burned alive in saline solution for eighteen hours. Eighteen hours, ladies and gents! FYI: This is not the same saline solution you use to clean your contacts but a lethal cocktail of death intended to cook the unborn kid from the inside out.

Weighing in at 2 lbs at birth with cerebral palsy (thanks to the effects of the witch’s brew she stewed in), the gloomy doctors said little Gianna would never be able to hold up her head, sit up, crawl or walk.

God had different plans.

Not only did she hold her head up, sit, crawl and walk, but she has run in two twenty-six mile marathons and has spoken all over the world, on TV, in churches and on college campuses about the power of God and the sanctity of life. Put that in your stupid pipe and smoke it, all-wise and all-knowing doctors.

Liberals love being painted as the defender of the underdog. Yeah, if you feel like you are being abused, oppressed, preyed upon, neglected, entitled to something or endangered in any way . . . do not fear! The Dems are here! Their protection extends not only to the human victim, but also to the translucent hair lice, the gargling nut warbler, a warming globe, a rare venereal crab, and a whooping crane’s egg.

Yep, the liberals will ramp up to Mach2, set their hair on fire, and fight, yell, picket, protest and blog their fingers bloody for animal rights and for your rights—that is unless, of course, you’re an unborn child.

It is with the unborn baby that the “protectors of the weak” morph into the party that wreaks havoc upon the truly helpless. It’s interesting to see misty-eyed liberals go quasi-Talibanic for the little animal while they have absolutely no qualms whatsoever endorsing the snuffing out of the life of a tiny unborn human.

One of the reasons the barbaric left uses to convince themselves that they’re right on the issue of killing that inconvenient “little bugger” (as one of their own calls it) is that it is not yet a person.

Something that is really wrecking the “protectors of the weak” BS campaign of killing unborn kids, however, is ultrasound imagery (Oops. Didn’t see that coming, now did you?). These pics and videos are screwing up things for the pro-choicers. Back in the day when they were selling us on the “fetal blob” stuff, all we had at our disposal to contradict their nonsense was common sense and a very grainy 2D sonogram.

With the use of ultrasound imaging increasing daily, how a person can say that an unborn baby is not yet a person and can be killed at Mommy Dearest’s discretion is barbarically beyond me. I guess the left and the pink conservatives callous their hearts to the unborn by rejecting a proposition central to Judeo-Christian thought regarding life and death: namely, that human life (beginning at conception and lasting until the person naturally croaks) is intrinsically good and thus sacred—not just instrumentally good.

In contrast with the secular “elite,” the “stupid,” “non-elite” and “archaic” Judeo-Christian constituency believes that all people—from the embryo to the elderly, including severely developmentally disabled, people in comas and everyone in between—have dignity and value. As Robert George said, “Their significance is not based upon what they can do, or how they make us feel or whether or not we approve of their quality of life, but principally because they live.”

And yet, these secular barbaric “tools” see human beings as tools; and if they don’t somehow fit instrumentally within the secularists’ Darwinian, utilitarian utopia, they get tagged as “inconvenient” and are relegated to the “very expendable” list. That’s why abortion is no big deal, and neither is taking the life of a so-called defective child, or suicide, or “mercy killing” a helpless senior. But God help you if you should ever run a boat’s prop over a manatee’s back! They’ll get pissed!

Not only does Obama’s Party of Death (as Ramesh Ponnuru calls the libtards) advocate the death of the unborn and the inconvenient, but they also want your tax dollars to pay for their death wishes, for all parents to butt out of their teenage daughter’s abortion plans, and for the US to continue to stay left of Europe when it comes to abortion on demand. Consider all the above when you cast your vote in November, those of you on the left and the right who cherish the unborn more than a sea cow.

For all the 411 on Gianna Jessen and what she’s up to, go to www.BornAliveTruth.org. Send her money, watch her videos, play her radio spots and help her wake our nation up to Barack’s barbaric beliefs.

Wild Thing's comment........

Gianna Jessen is tangible, irrefutable proof of the viability and value of human life, both before and after birth (what’s the difference between a baby one day, week, month before being born and one minute after?). She stands as a stark reminder to the left of what abortion really is, and this enrages them.

There is also this at WND:

Obama ad goes to war with abortion survivor
Video slams woman for ‘despicable lie’

This story appeared in the Antelope Valley Press

In the increasing flurry of this election season’s negative political ads, the Barack Obama campaign produced a TV commercial that not only attacks Republican rival John McCain, but also takes aim at an unusual target: a 31-year-old woman who was born alive after her mother’s botched abortion.

Obama’s commercial predictably takes shots at the GOP campaign, calling McCain’s ads “the sleaziest ever, truly vile.” But when the screen shows clips of abortion survivor Gianna Jessen and the ad she made asking Obama to reverse his stance on born alive infant protection legislation, the Obama ad calls Jessen’s appeal “a despicable lie.”

Here is Obama's ad

What's Obama's problem with free speech?

What's Obama's problem with free speech?

Sunday, September 21, 2008

We're newspaper people, so you won't be surprised to learn that we hold the First Amendment dear. We value the freedom of expression.

So when word exploded on the national scene that Gov. Sarah Palin was a "book banner," well, by golly, we paid attention. Can't have smalltown mayors or anyone else going around banning Harry Potter.

Turns out Palin never banned any books. It was all Internet nonsense from people suffering from PDS - Palin Derangement Syndrome. The Harry Potter books Palin was supposed to have banned hadn't even been published yet when she was mayor of Wasilla, Alaska.

But it turns out there is a candidate in the presidential field who actually has tried to stifle free speech. His name is Barack Obama.

Right about the same time those false and defamatory Palin messages were filling e-mail boxes around the nation, Obama was trying to silence a conservative writer named Stanley Kurtz, who was investigating the Democratic senator's ties to William Ayers.

Ayers is a former member of the domestic terrorist group, the Weathermen. He spent several years on the FBI's Most Wanted list. Obama often points out that Ayers' radical activities - the group bombed the Pentagon and the Capitol, you know, little things like that - took place when he, Obama, was just 8 years old.

That is true, but Ayers has never repented and, in fact, in 2001 said that he regretted not having done more.

All of that aside, how many of you make friends with people who've been on the FBI's Most Wanted list?

In the 1980s, Ayers and Obama were colleagues in something called the Chicago Annenberg Challenge, which was supposed to improve Chicago's education system but can offer no evidence of having done so, $100 million later.

Writer Stanley Kurtz - unlike, it seems, anyone else in the national press - was curious about exactly what this group did, how it spent its money and just how close Obama was to the terrorist Ayers.

Legitimate questions, we'd say. To whom did they give grants? What grant applications were rejected? What, if anything, did the group accomplish?

Obama was the director of this project, his sole executive experience. Don't voters have a right to know how he did?

The Chicago Annenberg Project's papers were on file at the University of Illinois Library. Stanley Kurtz made an appointment to see the papers, but mysteriously, that appointment was suddenly canceled. Permanently.

Through Freedom of Information requests, the papers were finally released, and Kurtz and others are culling them.

We have no idea whether Obama or his campaign had anything to do with the sudden revocation of Kurtz's permission to see the files. But we do know what happened when Kurtz was scheduled to go on WGN radio in Chicago to talk about it.

When the station sought an Obama campaign spokesperson to give the other side, the Obama campaign declined.

The Obama campaign then put out an "action alert" to all the supporters on its e-mail list. They called on supporters to flood the station with phone calls. "Tell WGN that by providing Kurtz with air time, they are legitimizing baseless attacks from a smear-merchant and lowering the standards of political discourse."

The Obama campaign lied to its supporters, as well, claiming they had no chance to rebut the claims when, in fact, they'd been invited on.

The dutiful Obama supporters did as asked. The radio host, Alan Rosenberg, asked one caller, a young woman, to refute what Kurtz was saying rather than just toss insults and say that Kurtz should not even be on.

The young woman admitted that she didn't know anything about the affair and was just calling in because Obama told her to.

Failing to keep Kurtz off the air, the Obama people sought to turn the show into a circus by encouraging callers to, rather than ask questions and engage the guest, simply say that he shouldn't be on and that the interview should be stopped.

Ironically, WGN is, according to Chicago insiders, largely a liberal station, with most of its hosts openly supporting Obama.

Even the liberal Los Angeles Times called the Obama campaign's move "a surprising attempt to stifle broadcast criticism of its candidate."

Well, it's only surprising if you don't see through Barack Obama as a candidate who says one thing and does another. If this attempt at suppressing free speech is what Obama does as a candidate, just think what he might do as president.

Wild Thing's comment.............

Obama’s a commie rat. Commie rats don’t like free speech.

What's Obama's problem with free speech?

Answer: With free speech people are allowed to ask questions.

Obama supports HIS free speech. The proletariat is to be silent and listen to his wisdom!! ( YUK! )

The Size of Palin's Crowd Of 60,000 In The Villages Causes Global Warming ~ heh heh

Look how it looks like the baby Trig is saying his Mom is #1 , I love it. Arriving in Orlando on Friday , the Palin family spent Saturday at Disney World. Before Sarah's speaking at the rally on Sunday afternoon.

There was a bi-plane flying in circles over the site carrying a banner that said, "The South is Palin Country".

Mike Tucker, a local fire marshal, estimated 60,000 And this came with such short notice, they only knew she would be able to do this rallly when the RNC in Florida was notified on Thursday...........unlike “Ceaser’s Roman forum spectacle”.

Joining Palin at the sun-scorched rally was members of her family, including husband Todd Palin; daughters Piper and Willow and son Trig.

Piper Palin started it off by saying, "Thank you for letting us be here."

Huge big screens for those who won’t be able to get inside the gates.

Palin draws crowd of 60,000 in The Villages

news press.com ....for complete article

Tens of thousands inched along roads into the picturesque town square of the complex, where they stood in sweltering heat for about four hours . Many Military Veterans were there and the crowd was all ages, of young and senior citizens.

"Sa-Rah! Sa-Rah!" they chanted at every mention of her name, applauding loudly and waiving tiny American flags that were distributed -- along with free water bottles -- by local volunteers. The fire chief estimated the crowd at 60,000.

Admiring throngs mobbed the Palin family's arrival and departure, snapping souvenir pictures. Autograph seekers thrust campaign signs, caps with the McCain-Palin logo and copies of magazines with her face on their covers, and the Palins responded warmly.

In a theme Palin would pound home, GOP Chairman Jim Greer Greer said Obama and his running mate, Delaware Sen. Joe Biden, have records of voting for higher taxes and have said on the campaign trail that they would increase regulation of financial markets.

"John MCain and I are going to take our case for reform to every voter in every background and every party, or no party at all," said Palin. "We're going to Washington to shake things up."

She said "John McCain warned Congress that we needed to do something before these problems became a crisis," but that Washington -- including Obama and Biden -- did not act for months as financial giants teetered and toppled.

"Americans are caught in kind of a perfect storm between high taxes, high gas prices, greed on Wall Street and a shortage of courage in Washington," she said. "But we need new leadership in Washington -- we need serious reform on Wall Street."

Palin, whose son shipped out for Iraq this month, made a point of asking veterans and military members in the crowd to raise their hands for a round of applause.

Then she recalled that McCain took an early, unpopular stance in support of the Iraq troop surge, a policy shift now widely credited with stabilizing Iraq. "That's the kind of man I want as commander in chief," she shouted, as applause and whoops rose in the town square. "John McCain is the only great man in this race."

From CNN:

Though the audience was one of the Palin’s largest to date, the actual size of the crowd could not be verified. According Mike Tucker, the fire chief of The Villages who was made available to the press by the McCain campaign, 60,000 people crammed into the streets to see Palin speak.

“There were people down the side streets, people down in the parking areas, people who couldn't quite make it around to the main areas,” Tucker said, adding that many people were let into the rally without tickets, making the crowd count impossible to verify.

The enthusiastic crowd welcomed Palin with shouts of “USA!,” and she chanted back along with them. As in many of her speeches, Palin promised that hard-working Americans will dig the country out of its economic woes, and she laced her remarks with fulsome praise for the nation's spirit.

And this from FOX News

Palin Draws Crowd of 60,000 in Florida

by FOXNews.com
Sunday, September 21, 2008

Sarah Palin played it safe Sunday on her first trip as John McCain’s running mate to the battleground state of Florida, drawing a massive crowd of 60,000 people.

The visit drew a few contrasts between Palin and Obama running mate Joe Biden.

The largest was the crowd — an estimated 60,000 according to the fire chief. Some people had to wait in line about 90 minutes just to park their cars. Biden’s largest crowd during a visit earlier this month was about 2,000.

Tyler Deeds, 19, who made the drive from Auburndale 90 miles away and waited more than 5 hours to see Palin. “I couldn’t even tell you who the governor of Alaska was.”

But Deeds, who plans to enter the Navy soon, said he “tends to cling to my guns and religion” and he quickly grew excited about Palin’s candidacy.

Joan Guay, 81, dabbed bottled water on her arms as she waited for Palin in the broiling heat. She said she previously supported Democrat Hillary Clinton.

“This country needs a woman up there,” Guay said. “I like her background, I like her family. It’s a family that does things together. And I like her work in the community.”

After her Speech:

They are playing background music as she leaves and is signing autographs......

"Signed, Sealed, Delivered (I'm Yours) "music heh heh is playing

Willow Palin

Someone handed her a giant mockup of a lipstick tube to sign LOL Sarah just put her autograph on it!

My NOTES about the rally:

These crowds are reacting to the most exciting thing to hit politics since Ronald Reagan—they sense that she has the stuff of greatness and she does!

Some had to leave they could not take the heat, so there were people there with golf carts that were helping them get the 2-3 miles walk back to their cars.

No one would expect a VP candidate to draw 60,000 people to a political rally. So I am sure those that had to leave due to the heat can understand that this was planned on such short notice that no one had any idea the crowd would be so huge and the parking and walk so many miles from the event. I have not heard any complaints from those that were able to go.

It is unprecedented in American history.

Piper and Willow were both giving autographs. Piper’s was HUGE! ( giggle sooooo cute)

Sarah was dripping sweat as was everyone there. It was really insane to have this event outside in the middle of the afternoon. I’m told one hundred fifty people were carted off on stretchers from heat exhaustion.

There were women holding signs “Pumas for Palin”

Sarah said that Barack the Unabama merely voted ‘present’ on this week’s bill to save the financial institutions.
She quotes from McCain about the fiscal crisis. Going after Obama.

Obama voted present about 130 times; this week he voted present on the financial problems of today (paraphrased)

WOW! I love the line — This is about Obama’s poor judgement!

She’s nailing Obama on how he told people to get in their face. I am so glad she called Obama out on telling his minions to “get in their faces”!! She is leaving no stone unturned.

She used PAPER Notes...... not teleprompter!

“WE’LL BE ON A MISSION OF ENERGY INDEPENDENCE!”

Maybe if he (Obama) had been a Governor of an Energy Rich state he would get it!

That was a great double slam against obam! He don't know energy, and he ain't got no Governor-level experience.

Crowd yelling Sarah! Sarah again!

Sarah owns the Republican party now. It is her party. Our connection with her is a 20 megaton nuke in the world of politics. There is no substitute and no defense against it if you are on the other side.

Michelle Obama Coming to Pennsylvania

Michelle Obama coming to Pennsylvania

Democratic campaign officials say the wife of presidential nominee Sen. Barack Obama will be coming to Pennsylvania this week.

Officials say Michelle Obama will host a roundtable discussion with military spouses on Wednesday in Allentown. Later that afternoon, she is to attend a rally in Philadelphia.

The Obama-Biden campaign says Jill Biden, wife of vice presidential nominee Sen. Joe Biden, will also attend both events.

Wild Thing's comment........

What on earth can Michelle Obama tell military wives, hmmmmm let's see is she going to tell them how mean America is , and that there’s a hole in our national spirit which only the Obambi can fix.

A round table with military spouses — give me a break. Only spouses I can think of would be Reserve or Guard because there is not a military installation near Allentown thatI know of. There is Tobyhanna Army Depot but that is near Scranton. PA. Maybe the Reserve or Guard ???? I think there are two Reserve Units in Allentown.

There is Willow Grove, but has been scaled down to just the Naval Air Base and does not have on base housing. At least that is my understand.

Where ever they are from this is going to be a hand-picked group. 99% of military spouses support McCain and our troops.

I cannot stand this couple and their pandering to the military who they despise.

NOBAMA IN 08!!! NOBAMA”S EVER IN AMERICA!!!!

Despicable Democrats On SNL Stoop To New Low

NBC jokes: Todd Palin has sex with daughters

'Saturday Night Live' skit suggests Sarah's husband guilty of incest

Did Obama Just Touch the Third Rail?

A week after a high-profile send-up of Republican vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin on "Saturday Night Live," the NBC comedy show returned to making fun of the Alaskan governor in a skit where New York Times reporters sought to probe the possibility Palin's husband, Todd, was having sex with the couple's own daughters.

"What about the husband?" asked a Times reporter during a mock assignment meeting for the paper. "You know he's doing those daughters. I mean, come on. It's Alaska."

The assignment editor for the Times, portrayed by actor James Franco, responded: "He very well could be. Admittedly, there is no evidence of that, but on the other hand, there is no convincing evidence to the contrary. And these are just some of the lingering questions about Governor Palin."

The skit featured a photo of one reporter and an on-screen message that stated, "In 2009 [reporter] Howland Gwathmey Moss, V was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for his Times series on unproven, yet un-disproven incest in the Palin family. Sadly, he was to die 3 months later, run over by a snow machine, driven by a polar bear."

The final shot showed an image of a New York Times page, with headlines that included:

"While No Direct Evidence of Incest in Palin Family Emerges, Counter Evidence Remains Agonizingly Elusive" and "In a Small Alaska Town, Doubts Still Linger."

The sketch seemed to be designed to mock how out of touch journalists from the Big Apple are when it comes to their knowledge of Alaska, with left-leaning, Manhattan-dwelling reporters mistaking a snowmobile for a "baptizing machine," a crucifix and a NordicTrack exerciser in photographs held up for them.

Some viewers expressed outrage.

"It is time the Palin family brought out the big guns. They need to sue General Electric, NBC, 'Saturday Night Live,'" said Al Barrs of Bascom, Fla. "This is clearly criminal and defamation of character of an entire family and state. All the above needs to be taken to their knees big time once and for all."

"What if somebody did one with this kind of humor on Obama and his daughters?" asked Jim Cash of Chattanooga, Tenn. "What an uproar there would be. This line of humor is tasteless and moronic and about as low as they could go. There simply must be an uproar over this. We cannot let this just pass."

But others, such as Ana Jimenez, believe the episode was all in good fun, since the program is a comedy show.

"Anyone that watched Saturday's show and believed the skit in which it was suggested that there was incest in the Palin household needs to have [his] head examined," said Jimenez. "The purpose of the joke (tacky and crude as it was, I did not care for it at all by the way) was to show how out of touch journalists are – not an attack on the Palin household. Sheesh, get a grip!"

NBC's website for "Saturday Night Live" normally contains video clips of the show's comedy routines, but, interestingly, the clip of the incest sketch was never posted online.

Wild Thing's comment.................

I could care less if they were attempting in their skit to strike out at the MSM for their reporting. And USING Palin to do so. What they did was wrong!

SNL got their idea from KOS,DU, and various newspapers. And it is NOT funny! They could have done the same thing and just said Palin was a space alien or somerthing. They did not have to cross the line, that was uncallled for.

The skit can be described as employing satire as a COVER and a VEHICLE for getting a sick political message out to the public.

A carefully-drawn, vivid picture of incest within the Palin family was deftly designed to be IMBEDDED in the minds of the lumpen masses. It was carefully drawn.

Indeed, the "satire" of these types of skits are and will be laughed at uproariously and winked at because "I got it, the rest of the thin-skinned, easily offended dummies in this country don't get it at all. The sick portrayal is really not aimed at the Palin family, it's aimed at the liberal media"........(sure it is).

What's next, skits about sex with animals, cannabalism, gang rapes, the sex slave trade......each, of course, woven into a "satirical" skit about the Palin's?

Well, why not??? This incest one was such a hoot, why not a ditto next week??? We'll ostensibly aim it at the Washington Compost and Air America this time.

Whether the amoral Al Franken wrote this skit or not is irrelevant. SNL writers are undoubtedly all of the same stripe.....or they wouldn't be working there, or anywhere in their field. We have to realize that these leftist comedy writers are propagandists of the very same ilk as the serious Goebbel's types except they employ comedy as their vehicle for evil.

Between now and election, SNL's cleverly-disguised attacks will continue and intensify while the masses will yuk it up thinking they're being entertained, not brainwashed into voting for "change".

They could have used the jet sale, or the bridge as the subject. They were having “fun” by saying a really nasty thing about someone they don’t like. Incest is not a fit subject for humor, whatever the purported purpose, any more than rape would be. They were being vicious.

Thanks Mark for the article about this.

Obama Is So Out Of His Element Running For President Example He Yells and Scares Elderly Iowa Voter

Factcheck.org

Annenberg’s FactCheck.org, hardly a right-wing organization, has this to say about Obama’s new ad, in what they call Scaring Seniors:

A new Obama ad characterizes the “Bush-McCain privatization plan” as “cutting Social Security Benefits in half.”

This is a falsehood sure to frighten seniors who rely on their Social Security checks. In truth, McCain does not propose to cut those checks at all.

The ad refers to a Bush proposal from 2005 to hold down the growth of benefits for future retirees. Compared to the buying power of benefits paid to today’s retirees, that would not have been a “cut” for anybody. It would have been a “cut” of half only in relation to benefits now promised to retirees who have yet to be born. And for average workers, that “cut” in 2075 was projected by one of Obama’s own economic advisers to be 28 percent, not “half.”

The ad also says McCain voted “in favor of privatizing Social Security.” The term “privatizing” could give the wrong impression.

Obama's Social Security Whopper
He tells Social Security recipients their money would now be in the stock market under McCain's plan. False.
In Daytona Beach, Obama said that "if my opponent had his way, the millions of Floridians who rely on it would've had their Social Security tied up in the stock market this week." He referred to "elderly women" at risk of poverty, and said families would be scrambling to support "grandmothers and grandfathers."

That's not true.

Also check out .......................some interesting things to note.

Curious edits to his Social Security page.

Wild Thing's comment.............

This video is from last November but it still pertains today maybe even more since we getting close now to Nov. 4th and time to vote.

That is about as presidential as you could expect from a communist street agitator, oops, I mean “Community Organizer”.

The Unabama has neither the intellect nor temperament to be President. This is so typical of this POS Obama in a town hall venue. He is very uncomfortable which is one reason why he refused to do the town hall schedule with McCain. If you watch BOs body language he is constantly rubbing his forehead and his hand gestures turn into sweeping arm gestures.

This is how Obama talks to a typical white lady. Obama has issues. BIG ISSUES when it comes to white people!

My translation of his reply to the woman:

"If you think you're going to call my friends in the Middle East terrorists, and you think you know more about them than I do, and you think I'm not going to reveal a sampling of my wrath whenever anyone dares disagree with me, you've got another think coming."

Sarah Palin's Anti-Elitist Charm

Our Sister Sarah Palin's Anti-Elitist Charm

by Ralph Peters

New York Post

I KNOW Sarah Palin, and so does my wife.

Neither of us ever actually met the governor of Alaska, but we grew up with her - in the small-town America despised by the leftwing elite.

One gal-pal classmate of my wife's has even traveled from New York's Finger Lakes to Alaska to hunt moose with her husband. (Got one, too.) And no, Ms. Streisand, she isn't a redneck missing half her teeth - she's a lawyer.

The sneering elites and their mediacrat fellow travelers just don't get it: How on earth could anyone vote for someone who didn't attend an Ivy League school? And having more than 1.7 children marks any woman as a rube. (If Palin had any taste, her teenage daughter would've had a quiet abortion in a discreet facility.)

And what kind of retro-Barbie would stay happily married to her high-school sweetheart? Ugh. She even kills animals and eats them. (The meat and fish served in the upscale bistros patronized by Obama supporters appears by magic - it didn't really come from living things. . .)

Palin has that hick accent, too. And that busy-mom beehive 'do. Double ugh! Bet she hasn't even read Ian McEwan's latest novel and can't explain Frank Gehry's vision for a new architecture. She and her blue-collar (triple ugh!) husband don't even own a McMansion, let alone an inherited family compound on the Cape.

And she wants to be vice president?

The opinion-maker elites see Sarah Palin clearly every time they look up from another sneering article in The New Yorker: She's a country-bumpkin chumpette from a hick state with low latte availability. She's not one of them and never will be. That's the real disqualifier in this race.

Now let me tell you what those postmodern bigots with their multiple vacation homes and their disappointing trust-fund kids don't see:

Sarah Palin's one of us. She actually represents the American people.

When The New York Times, CNN, the NBC basket of basket cases and all the barking blog dogs insult Palin, they're insulting us. When they smear her, they're smearing every American who actually works for a living, who doesn't expect a handout, who doesn't have a full-time accountant to parse the family taxes, who believes in the Pledge of Allegiance and who thinks a church is more than just a tedious stop on daughter Emily's 100K wedding day.

Go ahead, faux feminists and Hollywood deep thinkers: Snicker at Sarah America's degree from the University of Idaho, but remember that most Americans didn't attend Harvard or Princeton as a legacy after daddy donated enough to buy his kid's way in.

Go ahead, campaign strategists: Mock Americans who go to church and actually pray. But you might want to run the Census numbers first.

And go right ahead: Dismiss all of us who remember how, on the first day of deer season, our high school classrooms were half empty (not a problem at Andover or Exeter).

That rube accent of Palin's? It's a howler. But she sounds a lot more like the rest of us than a Harvard man or a Smithie ever will.

Why does Sarah Palin energize all of us who don't belong to the gilded leftwing circle? Because she's us. We sat beside her in class. We hung out after school (might've even shared a backseat combat zone on prom night). And now she lives next door, raising her kids.

For the first time since Ronald Reagan, our last great president, we, the people, see a chance that one of us might have a voice in governing our country.

Speaking of Reagan (Eureka College, Illinois), every chief executive we've had since the Gipper snapped his final salute as president has had the imprimatur of an Ivy League university. And we've gone from bad to worse:

* George Herbert Walker Bush: Yale.

* William Jefferson Clinton: Georgetown, Oxford, Yale Law.

* George W. Bush: Yale and Harvard Business School.

The first lacked the sense to finish the job in Desert Storm; the second lacked the guts to go after al Qaeda when it was just a startup - and the third, well, let's just say he disappointed our low expectations.

Now we have the Ivy League elite's "he's not only like us but he's a minority and we're so wonderful to support him" candidate, Sen. Barack Obama (Columbia and Harvard Law).

Our country can't afford another one of these clowns. Harvard isn't the answer - Harvard's the problem.

So here's the message Palin is sending on behalf of the rest of us (the down-market masses Dems love at election time and ignore once the voting's done): The rule of the snobs is over. It's time to give one of us a chance to lead.

Sen. John McCain's one of us, too. He raised hell at Annapolis (quadruple ugh: military!), and he'll raise the right kind of hell in Washington.

McCain's so dumb he really loves his country.

Sarah Palin's dumb that way, too. How terribly unfashionable.

Wild Thing's comment............

Wonderful piece on how Sarah is one of us and the media and leftist elites just don't get it. Peters hits the nail squarely on the head regarding her popularity and how the elites sniff at her as they peer down their bony noses at us all.

"When they smear her, they're smearing every American who actually works for a living, "

Out of the park, Ralph Peters!

Go, Sarah. Show the world who really lives and works in the USA and keeps things humming along.

Palin Will Meet With Karzai, Kissinger, Uribe

Fox News’ Hunter Ryan has learned that Sarah Palin’s meeting with Karzai will be on Tuesday. On the same day she has also scheduled separate meetings with Henry Kissinger and Colombian President Alvaro Uribe.

Palin will meet with Karzai, Kissinger, Uribe

Sarah Palin will meet with Afghan President Hamid Karzai next week in New York, according to a senior advisor to Palin. The meeting coincides with the opening of the United Nations General Assembly.

Palin’s lack of foreign policy experience has been criticized since John McCain selected her as his running mate. The meeting with Karzai is an effort to boost Palin’s foreign policy credentials and show her ability to hob knob with foreign leaders.

We reported earlier in the week that Palin would travel to New York during the UN’s General Assembly, which meets every year and attracts leaders from all over the world.

Wild Thing's comment.............

I admire McCain in is his willingness to unselfishly groom Palin. He certainly must notice that Palin at times overshadows him, but instead of getting angry he gives her more responsibility and exposure. He wants the best I can see that, and he got that with Sarah Palin, and he wants to give her every chance as his VP.

I’m glad they’re paying attention to Uribe. Colombia is very important and I noticed today that Bush is trying to get Congress to go ahead with the trade bill for Colombia. The Dems hate Colombia because it’s the one success story in Latin America, getting rid of Marxist terrorists and building itself up again.

I think Sarah Palin is John McCain’s legacy !!!!

I would love to see her meet with Amanutjob with a shotgun in her hands!

I could see that...Sarah shaking his hand giving him that smile...How you doing Mr. amaahddii.....So, you have a problem with the U.S. (click)...did I tell you my Son is in the army (load)...Yah! Thats right the US OF A.....ARMY....YOU LIKE TO DANCE?.....SURE YOU DO....LET ME SEE YOU DANCE!

Joe Biden ~ "You need to work on your pecs"

Meanwhile, the Other No. 2 Keeps On Punching

FLAT ROCK, Mich

As the economy reels, Senator Joseph R. Biden Jr. — the Other Running Mate — has been absolutely butchering Senator John McCain across the Rust Belt this week. It is not clear who has noticed.

“John is so out of touch, he just has no idea,” charged Mr. Biden, the Democratic vice-presidential nominee, who called his “old, dear friend” someone who “just doesn’t think,” who is behaving in a repugnant manner and who is peddling “Republican garbage,” and malarkey.

The older woman who introduced him at a rally here called Mr. Biden’s Republican counterpart, Gov. Sarah Palin of Alaska, a “bucket of fluff,” and he rewarded the woman as he took the microphone with an “I love you” and a gentle kiss on the head.

“If I sound angry, it’s because I am angry,” Mr. Biden told a few hundred people gathered at a high school football field. Yes, he sounds angry, yelling through his stump speeches, flailing his arms and telling a (supportive) member of the audience to “Shush up, will you?” (“I’m kidding,” he added, but did not sound it.)

But the reality for Mr. Biden is that while running mates are second-fiddlers by definition, the phenomenon of Ms. Palin has rendered him something of a fourth or fifth fiddle. It is not like last month, when reporters swarmed Mr. Biden’s Delaware home and delegates swooned at the Democratic convention. He is now trailed by just a few national reporters, and struggling to break through in a race marked by historic firsts, political celebrities and charismatic newcomers — none named Joe Biden.

The Obama campaign was hoping to reintroduce Mr. Biden this week as running mate attack dog. But his penchant for verbal rambling ensured that much of the attention he drew was unwanted: he said wealthy Americans had a “patriotic” duty to pay more taxes, a remark the McCain campaign mocked relentlessly.

Yet Joltin’ Joe has also become a fascinating Off Broadway spectacle in his own right. He is a distinctive blend of pit bull and odd duck whose weak filters make him capable of blurting out pretty much anything — “gaffes,” out-of-nowhere comments (pivoting midspeech to say:

“Excuse my back!” to people seated behind him), goofy asides (tapping a reporter’s chest and telling him, “You need to work on your pecs.”)

Mr. Biden’s role is red-meat serious: to pulverize Mr. McCain, lend foreign policy heft to Senator Barack Obama and be his campaign’s main ambassador to two at-risk constituencies: former supporters of Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton and blue-collar Democrats. He speaks to working-class voters in the harsh language of their economic trials, and summons easy rage at ear-splitting volumes.

“John said that the economy can have a ‘psychological effect,’ ” Mr. Biden said at a twilight rally in Media, Pa., on Tuesday. “Let me tell you about the psychological effect,” he said, describing his family’s economic struggles when he was young. Mr. Biden might seem like an afterthought on the national airwaves, but he can clearly resonate close up.

“People got to wake up, because these guys in Washington are raping this country,” said Dave McLimans, a steelworker from Coatesville, Pa., who attended the rally in Media. “Joe Biden talks in a way that can wake people up.”

Mr. Biden’s venues are, in many cases, economically challenged areas of swing states. His crowds are up-and-down in number and enthusiasm — some loud and in the thousands, others sleepier and small. But his reviews are generally good from voters, some who came in unconvinced about Mr. Obama.

“Biden is a guy who I really believe, who really seems like he is going to help us out,” said Sheryl Kline, a loader for the United Parcel Service who attended a rally in Maumee, Ohio. “He sounds like someone who knows how we’re struggling.”

Despite his hard words, there is also a joy to Mr. Biden’s pursuit. On Monday, he walked into a Ford plant in Macomb County, Mich., jumped behind the wheel of a red Mustang convertible and let loose with a few satisfying vroom-vrooms of the engine.

“I know I’m not supposed to like muscle cars, but I like muscle cars,” Mr. Biden said as clusters of autoworkers whooped around him. “I tell you man, this is nice,” he said, giving a few extra revs of the engine for good measure, and his Senate cuff links clicked on the side of the car as he jumped out to more applause.

In an interview, he rejected any notion that his message was not being heard. “I just don’t get that, I don’t see any evidence of that,” he said in the back office of the Maumee Elks Lodge.

He barely mentions the Alaska governor in speeches; in the interview, he described her as “a very attractive political personality” who can “really deliver a political message.”

Mr. Biden, 65, has been part of the national political furniture for decades. Like most senators, he thought he could be president, and he made runs for the job twice. Then Mr. Obama picked him for a job he said he never wanted.

Mr. Biden retains his regal senatorial bearing even in gritty settings of the campaign trail. On Wednesday, he wore a pressed blue blazer with a hanky folded smartly into the breast pocket. His skin is perma-tanned, and his smile is shiny white. He has his own big entourage now — own bus, own plane. He conveys the giddy sense of a man who has won a political lottery, or been plucked from an elite purgatory.

In Mansfield, Ohio, on Thursday, Mr. Biden made an improvisational stop at a diner, shook a bunch of hands and walked out into the sun holding a vanilla ice cream cone. “I’m dripping here, man,” Mr. Biden said to a well-wisher as he headed across the street to a carousel.

“Am I too old to get on it?” he asked no one in particular, then headed back to his campaign bus.

“Anyone need a ride?” he asked some people standing nearby. “I’ve got a nice bus.”

Mr. Biden’s tone turns somber when he discusses Mr. McCain, a colleague of over two decades. The tenor of this campaign has tested a friendship that has been close even by Senate standards, where everyone claims to be “my good friend.”

“That guy I used to know, he’s gone,” Mr. Biden said of Mr. McCain at the campaign event in Maumee, shaking his head. “It literally saddens me,” added Mr. Biden, who tends to used the word “literally” about a dozen times per speech (literally).

Mr. Biden recalls that after Mr. McCain came under heavy attack from George W. Bush in the 2000 race for the Republican presidential nomination, he called Mr. McCain and offered to “go anywhere in the country and testify to his character.” Now, Mr. Biden asserts, Mr. McCain has embraced the same tactics he once criticized.

“I tried to talk to John,” Mr. Biden said in the interview. When both men were at Columbia University last week on the Sept. 11 anniversary, Mr. Biden had a staff member try to arrange a dressing-room visit with Mr. McCain. But Mr. Biden was told not to come, he said.

“I walked down anyway,” Mr. Biden said. “And who the hell is going to stop me?” Mr. McCain looked up and was “like, what is this about?” Mr. Biden said. Mr. McCain hugged Mr. Biden’s wife, Jill, and the two senators shared a quick handshake, but there was no time for any discussion.

Leaving the Elks Lodge in Maumee this week, Mr. Biden threw his arms around volunteers, posed for photos, and said he was flattered about the attention.

“Remember, no one decides who they’re going to vote for based on the vice president,” he said. “I mean that literally.”

Pathetic, Jealous and Hateful Sandra Bernhard

Sandra Bernhard apparently can't stand a woman that is Pro Life, has class and is prety and a good person.
But she is a commrade of B. Hussein Obama , you know that guy that is William Ayers friend.

Her vocabulary is limted so she uses words like words like “shiksa” and “goyische” - not to mention “whore” and “bitch” - and no one in the media expresses any negative judgment.

She also goes on ( not on this video) to say:

Sandra warns Sarah Palin...." not to come into Manhattan lest she get gang-raped by some of Sandra’s big black brothers."

God bless you Sarah and keep you safe!

13,000 Welcome McCain-Palin In Minn.

13,000 plus welcome McCain-Palin

John McCain and Sarah Palin brought their campaign back to Minnesota Friday, appearing before thousands of roaring supporters in a cavernous hangar at the Anoka County-Blaine Airport.

At the same hour, Barack Obama's backers were at Peavy Plaza in downtown Minneapolis .

The lipstick motif Palin has injected into the campaign -- "Read my Lipstick" read placards at each rally.

"Our opponent points the finger of blame, but has he ever lifted a finger to help?" Palin asked.

"NO!" the crowd responded.

When she talked about the need to diversify the nation's energy supply, Palin was greeted by the "Drill, Baby, Drill" chant that had rocked the Republican convention.

Palin condemned Iran's attempt to develop nuclear weapons. "Iran should not be allowed to acquire nuclear weapons -- period!" she said.

The crowd is yelling “NObama, NObama, NObama!!!

They played Dolly Parton’s “Straight Talk.”

There was someone in the crowd with a poster of the Statue of Liberty wearing bright red lipstick.

The McCain campaign estimated the crowd at 13,000, citing the Transportation Security Administration. And not all of them fit in the hangar.

There was a "THANKS ALASKA FOR SARAH PALIN" sign.

Road to Victory tour hits Blaine, MN

Gov. Sarah Palin ..... Part 1

Gov. Sarah Palin ..... Part 2

Sen. John McCain Part 1

Sen. John McCain Part 2

Report from a friend that was there:

"We left for the rally at about 8:30 this morning, as most of us had kids we had to get off to school, but didn't actually get into the hangar until after 10:00. We managed to get out of the looooong line of cars that were trying to get in the lot by the hangar, and found a smaller lot about a mile away. We hoofed it. There were about 7 protesters standing by the entrance to the airfield, but they were just standing there with their signs. They were Minnesota-nice moonbats, I guess. LOL. One of the signs was “The Disasta from Alaska”, and I just laughed out loud when I read it.

We had to go through the metal detectors, and they confiscated all the cans of soda and the apples my friend had in a small cooler. They let her keep the granola bars, crackers, and water that she had. Thank goodness! Periodically, people were asked to drink out of their water bottles. We didn't have to do that.

After we kind of “nestled in” to our spot, people were handing out large hand-painted signs, “Hockey Moms for McCain/Palin” (or just Palin), and “Palin Power”. We had the latter. They also handed out the campaign printed, “Country First” signs. I proceeded to put lipstick marks on all of ours—gave it that personal touch so-to-speak.;^)

I looked around and noticed quite a few younger people, which was so nice to see. There were groups with the same tee shirts. One group had red shirts with "Obamunisms" on them.

There were pro-life signs and shirts. One sign that I particularly liked said, "I already have a Savior, I am looking for a president!" There were lots of special needs signs and shirts as well. The rally started right around 11:00 with Mary Pawlenty (the Governor's wife) introducing the color guard. The pledge was recited, the star spangles banner was sung, the prayer invoked (which was NO wimpy prayer--thank you, Pastor Steve!) and the rally kicked off! Some of the speakers were Congressman John Klein, Senator Norm Coleman, a dem woman (local rep, I think) for McCain (thinking PUMA here), Ron Sherrer (sp?), who is a local television personality , and Michelle Bachmann who mostly introduced Governor Palin, stressing her support for drilling in ANWR! (I think this is perfect cover for McCain to "change his mind, after seeing it for himself") When Governor Sarah Palin and Sentor John McCain were introduced, the crowd erupted. There was so much energy in that place, it was palpable.

Her speech was great, and with just a few of the lines repeated from the convention, she actually had a lot of new material--she talked about how three years ago, John McCain stood in the well in the Senate and warned about the Fannie/Freddie impending disaster, but the Dems fought him.

The crowd absolutely loved her. But they clearly loved McCain as well. When he was introduced the crowd went wild. He talked about his warnings of the financial situation, Biden’s “taxes are patriotic” bonehead comment, and spent time talking about his promise to the troops. He asked for those that served our country to raise their hands, and for the rest of us to give them a large round of “sustained” applause. We complied. There were a LOT of raised hands in that building. It was very humbling.

I really couldn't see, but it didn't matter. I really feel that I was witnessing history being made. We all felt that way. There was just so much energy and excitement. It makes me feel hopeful for this blue state.

Just this, McCain and Palin made me come away with the same feeling... they are real, genuine people. He looks you straight in the eyes when he speaks to you and shakes you hand. One of my friends a Vet was able to get near the front and shake hands with both of them. He said McCain has a good handshake and not a let me do this and move on to the next person kind. He thanked my friend for his service and Palin did too. "

Regarding Obama:

Sadly, the Obama thugs are forcing states to register voters (college kids) who may also be voting in their home states. Areas of Ohio will give out ballots without any ID!

There is just too much voter fraud going on already & it's nothing like we've seen before, there is a Strong-Arm bunch behind BO and they are doing their job well!

Joe Biden: Paying Higher Taxes Is Patriotic

While Barack Obama tries to call John McCain a “liar” for saying Obama will raise taxes on a wide swath of Americans, Joe Biden tells America that paying higher taxes is … patriotic? The Democratic VP told Good Morning America today that “it’s time to be patriotic” and start allowing Uncle Sam to take even more of your paycheck:

BUT look at this...... he not only said it in his interview he said it when speaking at one of his rallies. And the idiot people applauded. Soooooo I was sort of kind of thinking here.......how about alll those morons that just LOVE taxes, why don't they pay all of ours. Just a suggestion.

The word Patriotism just does NOT belong in the vocabulary of a liberal, no way. And I resent it when they use the word. But to Joe Biden he things paying taxes is all it takes to be patriotic and respecting our American Flag is NOT!

SCREW YOU Joe Biden!

Sarah Palin and Margaret Thatcher

This was the second night of the interview that Hannity did of Sarah Palin. She mentions Margaret Thatcher so I am putting it with this article.

Sarah Palin Interview w/ Sean Hannity Day.2 pt.4
September 18, 2008 Hannity Colmes

Can Palin Follow Thatcher’s Footsteps?

newsmax

Parallels abound between Gov. Sarah Palin’s quest to be a heartbeat from the U.S. presidency and Margaret Thatcher’s rise to power in Great Britain.

Thatcher broke the glass ceiling in her country, where no woman had ever risen to such a top leadership position. The arguments against her were plenty: She had no experience in foreign policy, defense or national security matters. Most of her expertise was in domestic issues such as education. The old-boy network was united against her, but she took on the leadership in her own party.

In addition, the intellectual and political establishment disdained Thatcher. They looked down on her lower-middle-class background in a small town and her religiously strict background. She sparked the ire particularly of the academic left who called her “Attila the Hun in a skirt.”

Thatcher, who along with Ronald Reagan won the Cold War, slashed union-written restrictions and regulations to revive Britain’s sagging economy into the strongest in Europe. Winston Churchill II said Thatcher, along with his grandfather, were “the greatest British prime ministers in history.”

Thatcher, also against environmentalist protests, pushed oil drilling offshore in the North Sea in the northern extremity of her country, North Scotland. Scots enthusiastically embraced the drilling and pipe-laying that brought new prosperity to the region.

Similarly, Alaskans applauded their governor, Palin, who now is Republican vice presidential candidate for her support of oil and gas exploration.

Other similarities abound between Palin “the Barracuda,” which was her basketball nickname, and Thatcher, known as “the Iron Lady.”

Thatcher, like Palin, was not an accommodating or compromising politician. Her most famous phrase was: “This lady’s not for turning.” Her cabinet did not want her to rescue the Falklands from the grip of Argentinean Dictator Leopoldo Galtieri, but she did.

In Alaska, Republican leaders tried to stop Palin from going after corruption in her own party. Her intransigence upset the don’t-rock-the-boat Republicans in control.

In Britain, after a late Cabinet meeting, where most of Thatcher’s ministers had opposed cuts she proposed, she took them out for dinner at a trattoria near Ten Downing Street. The waiter approached her and the 10 men and started to read the specials.
Thatcher stopped him and said, “We’ll have the pasta.” The waiter nodded and said, “What about the veggies?”

“They’ll have pasta, too,” Thatcher replied.

Thatcher once said,

“Some things are right; some things are wrong. Life is ultimately character, and that character comes from what you make of yourself. You must work hard to support yourself, but hard work is even more important in the formation of character.”

Palin has uttered much the same thing about her own life. It is not surprising that both grew up with the same small-town, middle-class, church-attending, hard-working values.

Thatcher was the youngest girl on the field hockey team when she was 11, and eventually became its captain. She later said, “It was not the playing that gave her pleasure, but the competition and winning.”

Similarly, Palin developed her zest for fighting to win in sports.

When Thatcher was elected to a Conservative Parliament in 1959 at age 34, the Conservatives under Harold Macmillan held office. But the old-boy network gave her only minor sub-Cabinet positions. She voted against abortion and voiced opposition to easing laws against gays for sodomy with minors.

Thatcher would win respect for her hard work and her speeches against waste and big spending.

In 1974, Conservative Prime Minister Ted Heath lost to Socialist Harold Wilson, mostly because he appeased the unions in a national strike. There was a move to challenge Heath for the leadership of the Conservative Party. Thatcher announced her candidacy for the leadership position. She was not given a chance; her rivals had served in posts such as foreign secretary, defense minister and chancellor of the exchequer in previous Conservative governments. They also were part of the upper-class establishment that had ruled the Conservative Party.

Thatcher, a grocer’s daughter, could boast of no posh prep school background, but her principal opponents, Willie Whitelaw, Sir Geoffrey Howe and James Prior did. One Conservative member of Parliament said they “wondered whether a woman could represent the country internationally dealing with defense and foreign policy matters thought to be provinces of men.”

Although her only Cabinet position had been a minor one in education under Heath, Sir Alec Douglas-Home, the foreign secretary under Heath, had said at the time that “she’s smarter and tougher than all the rest of the Cabinet combined.”

Conservative leaders did not know how to deal with Thatcher. As her biographer, Chris Ogden of Time magazine, observed, her rivals’ experience with women was limited to aristocratic wives and demure and acquiescent females.

But Thatcher would tell election groups in England, as Palin would later in Alaska, “In politics, if you want something said, ask a man; if you want anything done, ask a woman.”

In Britain, Margaret Thatcher struck a resonant chord with Conservative Party constituencies and won the party leadership. Still, the party establishment was uneasy with her unapologetic free market programs and tough anti-communist policies. Shortly after she assumed the leadership post, the Conservative Central Party office approached me and asked whether I would draft a speech for the coming campaign in 1975 that was a softer, folksier approach.

When Thatcher read the draft, she remonstrated, “Haven’t you ever read ‘The Road to Serfdom’ by Friedrich Hayek?”

“Yes”, I replied.

“Well it doesn’t show it,” Thatcher said, ripping up the speech.

The fact was that I wrote the draft I was asked to, but the Conservative office had been afraid to risk her wrath by writing such mush.

The only time Palin has ever said “mush” was to Eskimo sled dogs. Like Thatcher, she is tough talking and outspoken. Palin’s actions speak louder than her words.

In 1979, Thatcher’s plain speaking on Conservative plans to cut taxes and regulations on business galvanized the party’s base and she was elected prime minister. Her vision of “a man’s right to work as he will, to spend what he earns to have the state as servant not master” inspired her country.

Three decades later, Palin has likewise energized her party and has become a rallying point. Would a Vice President Palin be a future Margaret Thatcher?

Wild Thing's comment...........

This is such a great article, well worth reading and it is a feel good article too in the comparisons of Palin and Thatcher.

Sarah Palin To Speak At The Villages......

Sarah Palin To Make Appearance At The Villages

The VIDEO is GREAT too

People lined up Friday to get their tickets to see the vice-presidential candidate.

The line wrapped around the square about three times, with people waiting as early as 7 a.m. Friday for tickets to see Sarah Palin at The Villages this Sunday.

At The Villages 16,000 tickets were handed out, but that only accounts for half of the crowd that's expected for the vice-presidential candidate's Sunday appearance. Thousands of tickets were also handed out in other parts of Florida.

Annie Marie Delgado, president of the Greater Ocala Republican Club, said the last estimated turn out she got was over 30,000.

As preparations began, so did the excitement in the crowd of people waiting for Palin tickets.

“She can see what needs to be done, what changes need to be done and she's not afraid to do it,” Villages resident Beverly List said.

The gates open at 1:30 p.m. Sunday. Event organizers are urging people to show up early because there will be standing room only. They said things like chairs and umbrellas should be left at home. Organizers believe that this event will bring more people to The Villages than even an appearance by President Bush.

Also this article ................

Palin’s first stop in Florida — The Villages

DAILY SUN

When GOP vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin makes her first trip to Florida as John McCain’s running mate, it will be to The Villages.

The McCain-Palin campaign officially confirmed the Sunday-afternoon appearance here by the Alaska governor on Thursday afternoon.

“There is a lot of excitement about Gov. Palin’s historic visit to Florida and to The Villages. She has energized the base, as well as former Hillary supporters,” McCain/Palin 2008 Southeast Regional Communications Director Mario Diaz said.

“Ever since John McCain showed the world that he was truly ready to bring change, the McCain Web site and the phones at the (campaign) offices have been flooded nonstop with e-mail and phone calls as to when Floridians would get the chance to see Gov. Palin,” Diaz said.

As of Thursday press time, The Villages was the only stop in Florida for Palin that the campaign would confirm.

Palin’s campaign rally is slated for 4:30 p.m. Sunday at Market Square in Lake Sumter Landing.

Here in The Villages, the news of Palin’s Sunday-afternoon visit has generated plenty of excitement.

Alice Briggs, a native of Boston who now makes her home in the Village of Country Club Hills, heard about Palin’s visit and knew that she wanted to volunteer and help out.

“I like the fact that she is a woman. I like the fact that she is independent. John McCain made a brilliant choice by choosing her. She’s fearless,” Briggs said.

“I have two sons retired form the military. I have a granddaughter in the Navy and a grandson in the Navy who just got back from Iraq. Another grandson recently retired from the military intelligence. I say they aren’t warriors — they are peace makers,” Briggs said.

Briggs is also serving as the coordinator for the phone banks for the Lake County Republican Women for John McCain.

Ellen Hoffman, Sumter County Republican Executive Committee, said the outpouring of volunteers to help with the Palin visit has been overwhelming.

“There is lots of enthusiasm. People are extremely excited about her visit,” Hoffman said.

She said that it’s clear that Palin has excited the party from the national level down to the grassroots level.

“Of course, women and especially mothers identify with her because she has had to balance work and family. She has also shown herself as a highly impressive speaker with a great level of intelligence,” Hoffman said.

The McCain-Palin campaign already has developed a familiarity with The Villages.

McCain held a town-hall style rally at Savannah Center in The Villages on Jan. 27. It was attended by several thousand people. Two days later he went on to win the Florida Primary.

Wild Thing's comment............

When we were at the Republian headquarters this last Tuesday I asked if there was going to be a rally with Sarah or McCain and Sarah Palin and they said only McCain would be speaking in Tampa on Wednesday. That there was nothing planned with Sarah at that time.

This was such a wonderful surprise even though announced late on Thursday and I just found out about it at 3:10 this morning. haha

I am gonig to call and see if they have any tickest left....I know dream on..... or if I can be one of the volunteers. So I am keeping my fingers crossed.

Being new to Florida I have never heard of The Villages, so I asked Nicholas and he said it is about 80 miles from us. He said it is a retirement place.

This is so exciting, and I guess even though the event said it can only handle 16,000 they are expecting 30,000 or more. A man on TV last night a dem of course said interest in Palin is sinking fast. Nicholas and I sat there and just laughed, they are trying so hard to lie and lie and use their propaganda for the people that might believe them.

Tony Snow’s parents live in The Villages. I wonder if they will be there.

Michelle Obama: Don't vote because 'she's cute'

Michelle Obama: Don't vote because 'she's cute'

North Country Times

CHARLOTTE, N.C. - Michelle Obama asked voters Thursday to make their choice on the issues, not because, "I like that guy" or, "she's cute."

Might she be talking about Republican vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin?

"I'm talking about me," she said with a smile.

Barack Obama's wife, however, is not on the ticket in the presidential election. Palin is.

Michelle Obama's remarks came at a women's roundtable on the economy. She told the audience of 600 that her husband is the only candidate focused on equal pay, health care, affordable college, teacher recruitment and other issues of concern to women. She said that's what the election should be about.

"People shouldn't make a decision this time based on, 'I like that guy' or 'she's cute,'" she said.

The line won a big round of applause. Before it subsided, she interjected: "And I'm talking about me."

Wild Thing's comment............

The most critical part of Michelle Obama's admonition is that she is telling voters to vote based upon their "self interest," rather than in the interest of the country.

The Story Behind The Palin e-mail Hacking

The story behind the Palin e-mail hacking

Michelle Malkin .....Michelle has the full text of how they did it and about the place the person posted the emails.

Here's the short version:

there is a site called 4chan.org. It is an image posting site based on a popular Japanese site. The site contains multiple boards, each of which is dedicated to a particular subject. The most notorious of these boards is called /b/. /b/ is the board dedicated to random images. /b/tards, as its denizens are called, are interested only in their own amusement. Their sense of humor runs the gamut from sick to cruel to merely strange. Lolcats, as made famous by http://www.icanhascheezburger.com, originated on /b/. A lot of memes start there. There is a lot of racist humor -- pictures of excited and happy black people in proximity to fried chicken abound. There is a lot of pornography. Sometimes it's child pornography, although posting that is moderator grounds for banning -- no, it's not a pedophile ring; /b/tards post it because they think doing so is funny

4chan does not log participants. Most people don't use or have usernames, and post instead as "Anonymous." And every so often, a number of /b/'s anonymous denizens decide to make somebody's life hell. Sometimes it's a random person who offends /b/'s sense of propriety. Sometimes it's a forum dedicated to a serious topic. Sometimes it's Scientology. And Tuesday, it was Sarah Palin. Or it would have been.

Sarah Palin's email account was hacked by one person. Not a group. Here is what the person said that was telling how they did it:

"Earlier it was just some prank to me, I really wanted to get something incriminating which I was sure there would be, just like all of you anon out there that you think there was some missed opportunity of glory, well there WAS NOTHING, I read everything, every little blackberry confirmation… all the pictures, and there was nothing, and it finally set in, THIS internet was serious business, yes I was behind a proxy, only one, if this shit ever got to the FBI I was fucked, I panicked, i still wanted the stuff out there but I didn’t know how to rapidshit all that stuff, so I posted the pass on /b/, and then promptly deleted everything, and unplugged my internet and just sat there in a comatose state."

Wild Thing's comment..........

When they catch the person that did this I want that person punished. I want to see the media upset about this as if it had been done to Obama and not a Republican. The media can't keep excusing things that are vile that are done to Sarah Palin just because it is not their candidate.

..... Thank you Brad for the link.

O'Reilly's Calling FBI On Palin Hackers & Lib Blog Posters

O'Reilly's Calling FBI On Palin Hackers & Lib Blog Posters

Hackers break into Sarah Palin's e-mail account

Hackers broke into the Yahoo! e-mail account that Republican vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin used for official business as Alaska's governor, revealing as evidence a few inconsequential personal messages she has received since John McCain selected her as his running mate.

"This is a shocking invasion of the governor's privacy and a violation of law. The matter has been turned over to the appropriate authorities and we hope that anyone in possession of these e-mails will destroy them," the McCain campaign said in a statement.

The Secret Service contacted The Associated Press on Wednesday and asked for copies of the leaked e-mails, which circulated widely on the Internet. The AP did not comply.

The disclosure Wednesday raises new questions about the propriety of the Palin administration's use of nongovernment e-mail accounts to conduct state business. The practice was revealed months ago—prior to Palin's selection as a vice presidential candidate—after political critics obtained internal e-mails documenting the practice by some aides.

One person whose e-mail to Palin apparently was among those disclosed, Amy B. McCorkell, declined to discuss her correspondence. "I do not know anything about it," McCorkell said. "I'm not giving you any comment." Wired.com said McCorkell later confirmed that she did send the e-mail to Palin.

Another of the e-mails apparently revealed Wednesday was an exchange in July with Alaska Lt. Gov. Sean Parnell discussing a talk show host who had been critical of Parnell. Parnell declined to discuss the matter.

Palin herself used "gov.sarah" in one of her e-mail addresses, but the hackers targeted her "gov.palin" account. Her husband used "fek9wnr" in his address. "Fe" is the representation for iron, and "k9" is an abbreviation for canine. Todd Palin was the winner of the grueling Iron Dog snowmobile race, and "fek9wnr" also is Todd Palin's vehicle license tag in Alaska.

It wasn't immediately clear how hackers broke into Palin's Yahoo! account, but it would have been possible to trick the service into revealing her password knowing personal details about Palin that include her birthdate and ZIP code. A hacker also might have sent a forged e-mail to her account tricking her into revealing her own password.

McCorkell was appointed by Palin to an advisory board on issues involving alcohol and drug abuse. One of the leaked e-mails suggested McCorkell wrote to Palin on Sunday to say she was praying for Palin. "Don't let the negative press get you down!" the message said.

....Thank you Mark for sending this to me.

Palin Disinvited From Iran Rally

Palin disinvited from Iran rally

Obama-Biden Reservations Confirmed

The organizers of an anti-Iran rally Monday rescinded their invitation to Alaska Governor Sarah Palin after Democrats protested that her presence would turn the event into a political rally, McCain campaign and Jewish community sources said.

The Conference of Presidents of Major Jewish Organizations created a political tempest by inviting Palin to speak without clearing her invitation with another speaker, Senator Hillary Clinton. Clinton promptly dropped out of the event, saying it would be seen as unduly political. The McCain campaign then pressed Senator Barack Obama to join Palin on the stage in a show of unity against Iran.

The Obama campaign in turn offered to send Congressman Robert Wexler of Florida .

But the appearance that the non-partisan group was aligning with the Republican ticket put the group and its president, Malcolm Hoenlein, under heavy pressure from Jewish Democrats, including members of the conference, members of Congress, and the liberal group J Street, not to give Palin a platform, sources said. Hoenlein told the McCain campaign that he would have to rescind Palin's invitation or cancel the rally.

The organizers, I'm told, have formally disinvited all elected and political officials, but the move was about Palin.

"In order to keep the focus on Iranian threats and to ensure that this critical message not be obscured, the organizers of the rally have decided not to have any American political personalities appear," the Stop Iran Now coalition said in a statement. "This issue, opposition to a nuclear-armed Iran, is one which enjoys bipartisan support and the backing of the American people across the political spectrum. On this, all Americans stand together. We acknowledge and deeply appreciate those American political leaders who have been and remain prepared to stand with us as we collectively address the dangers of Iran's nuclear program and its support for terrorism globally."

Wild Thing's comment........

So, it was not “unduly political” when Hillary was going to show up by herself - but it is when Sarah is invited? Do the Dems have ANY idea how stupid they look?

Meanwhile, Iran thanks Hillary for toning down the important voices against it, and can’t stop rolling on the floor laughing at the stupidity of those who “supposedly” oppose it. Some of these organtizatikons that plan rallies and yes like this one they are not as dedicated as they appear.

The best support for Israel comes from Republicans, NOT Democrats. The Clinton's had Arafat visit them and they snubbed Netanyahu.

Before the flap, they had invited DEMOCRAT HILLARY CLINTON, who is on the campaign of Barack Obama.

So how did “Adding Sarah Palin”, who is Governor of Alaska, make it into a “political event”? It was already a “political event”.

This is just great NOT, what a thing for Achmedenijihad and his boys to see happening. This is beyond disgusting!

Obviously for some the chants, "Death to Israel" and " Death To America" have been forgotten and politics has been replaced with wanting a country to unite against terrorists.

Vandals Strike GOP Sarasota, Florida Headquarters

Vandals Strike GOP Sarasota Headquarters

Sarasota Herald-Tribune

Published: September 17, 2008

Vandals sprayed the word "Obama" on the Republican Party of Sarasota's office on Tamiami Trail near the intersection with Stickney Point Road on Tuesday night.

The culprits also tore up campaign signs, party Chairman Eric Robinson said.

Robinson estimated the damage at $900 and chalked up the incident to growing election fever.

"It just shows that people get very worked up about these races," Robinson said. "Especially the presidential ones. People take it very personally."

Robinson attributed the incident to heightened emotions surrounding the election.

Robinson contended that such incidents do not play well with voters.

The spray paint is not the worst problem the office has endured.

Copper thieves broke in three times over the summer and stole $1,500 worth of air conditioning parts.

Wild Thing's comment...........

Besides this being horrible, it is also weird. Nicholas and I were there that same day, this last Tuesday ( Sept. 16th. ) we got a Veterans for McCain/Palin t-shirt and some stickers.

It is just so typical as can be that Obama people would do something like being vandals. Thanks Obama for the low lifes you have in your realm. They fit right in with Ayers and the rest of his tripe.

Lady Rothschild takes down Wolf Blitz! A MUST SEE

CNN's Wolf Blitzer with Lynn Forester De Rothschild on the Dem Ticket and why she is supporting McCain. "You're the elitist, not me."

Wild Thing's comment..........

This is what I was mentioning yesterday in my post about Lynn Forester De Rothschild and her decision to vote for McCain/Palin. I saw this when it happened and am so glad it is at YouTube. hahahahaha

LOL Andrea Mitchell said these women were “uneducated.” . I don't agree with Rothschild on abortion but it is soooooo marvelous to see her take Wollf down several notches. hahahaha

More and more women are beginning to understand how the democratic party keep them in line with the abortion issue. This lady was articulate and clearly knows what she wants and will take her money with her and her influence on the campaign trail. The Obamanators must be panicking to see this plus the whole PUMA phenomenon.

And you know what I bet Hillary is smiling so big from this. heh heh Obama must need some of those stomach pills for upset tummies. Wolf looked a bit astounded and confused. That is good. She has set him off his game and thrown his neuron pathways into a tizzy

And she quotes Ronald Reagan at the end, "I did not leave the Democratic party. The Democratic party left me." Perfect.

This is indeed a uniquely weird but oh so exciting election.

Remember how Lynn Cheney did a number on Wolf too when she went on his show and told him off about his showing the snuff film of one of our soldiers being killed.

Palin can change the culture. That’s why the left hates her more than Bush. Just like with Reagan, Palin makes being a conservative cool again and I love it so much.

There is something very special about her. She has an infectious optimism... just like Reagan!

We need to pray daily for Sarah.

Obama The Uniter??? He Tells Supporters " Get In Their Face"

Obama mocks McCain in Nevada stops

SF Gate

Barack Obama sharpened his attacks on John McCain and mocked the Republican's recent calls for reform in two stops in Nevada on Wednesday after days of listening to nervous supporters fret about the Democrat's chances of taking the White House.

In Elko, Nevada, Obama tried to anticipate his critics and called on the crowd of about 1,500 to sharpen their elbows, too.

"I need you to go out and talk to your friends and talk to your neighbors. I want you to talk to them whether they are independent or whether they are Republican. I want you to argue with them and get in their face," he said.

"And if they tell you that, 'Well, we're not sure where he stands on guns.' I want you to say, 'He believes in the Second Amendment.' If they tell you, 'Well, he's going to raise your taxes,' you say, 'No, he's not, he's going lower them.' You are my ambassadors. You guys are the ones who can make the case."

Wild Thing's comment.........

So...how long do any of you think it will be before Obamatons get so desparate that they begin beating up or killing Republicans and/or Independents? I think this is dangerous what Obama is telling his supporters to do. Keeping in mind the type of people that are voting for Obama they already are radical and many are from violent backgrounds.

Why did the term “Nazi youth” come so quickly to my mind? Is this what he did as a “community organizer” ?

NY Post article CONFIRMED ~ More Proof Obama Is UNFIT to Be Commander In Chief!

DISGRACEFUL ACTION TAKEN IN IRAQ FOR POLITICAL ADVANTAGE!

SACRAMENTO) -- Move America Forwards political action committee, MAF Freedom PAC, today condemned Barack Obama for putting his own political objectives ahead of the safety of U.S. military personnel in Iraq.

Iraqi government sources have revealed to the New York Post that Presidential candidate Barack Obama demanded Iraqi officials stop negotiations with the Bush Administration to withdraw U.S. troops from Iraq. Fearful that the success in Iraq would harm his political aspirations, Obama sought to keep U.S. troops in Iraq so he can continue attacking the Bush Administration for not imposing a timetable for withdrawal.

If these allegations prove to be true, it should be the end of the Obama campaign, asserted MAF Freedom PAC Chairman, Melanie Morgan.

Obama should have the decency to recognize that he lacks the moral character to serve as Commander-in-Chief, and he should withdraw from the ticket. I have never heard of any candidate deliberately trying to get Americans killed to prove their point.

According to the New York Post story, not only did Obama seek to get the Iraqis to stop negotiating with Americans on the troop drawdown, he also tried to bully General David Petraeus to agree to a hard withdrawal date.

The hypocrisy of Barack Obama to say in the United States that he wants a speedier troop withdrawal date, while telling the Iraqis to stop negotiating is appalling. Even supporters of a quicker U.S. withdrawal must be sickened by his conduct in Iraq. If there was ever a candidate who has demonstrated the lack of character and leadership to represent the United States in foreign affairs, it is Barack Obama, Morgan concluded.

MAF Freedom PAC is the political action arm of Move America Forward , the nations largest pro-troop organization. The patriotic group is led by San Francisco pro-troop activist and renowned radio & television personality, Melanie Morgan.

And this by Rush Limbaugh

Obama Pressured Iraq to Delay Troop Withdrawals

Despite his insistent demands for a rapid withdrawal of U.S. troops from Iraq, Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama secretly urged Iraqi leaders to delay an agreement that would lead to a draw down in troop numbers.

A blockbuster expose in Monday's New York Post by Amir Tahiri revealed that Obama made his demand for the delay a key theme of his discussions with Iraqi leaders in Baghdad in July, Iraqi Foreign Minister Hoshyar Zebari told The Post.

"He asked why we were not prepared to delay an agreement until after the U.S. elections and the formation of a new administration in Washington," Zebari said in an interview with The Post.

Zabari recalled that Obama insisted that Congress should be involved in negotiations on the status of U.S. troops, and that it was in the interests of both sides not to have an agreement negotiated by the Bush administration in its "state of weakness and political confusion."

"However, as an Iraqi, I prefer to have a security agreement that regulates the activities of foreign troops, rather than keeping the matter open," Zebari said.

Obama says he wants U.S. troops out of Iraq by 2010, a development that would be impossible if the status of forces agreement were delayed as he asked the Iraqis.

In addition to his backdoor approach to the Iraqis, The Post said Obama also sought to persuade U.S. commanders, including Gen. David Petraeus, to suggest a "realistic withdrawal date," a request they refused.

The Post noted that, "to be credible, Obma's foreign-policy philosophy requires Iraq to be seen as a failure, a disaster, a quagmire, a pig with lipstick or any of the other apocalyptic adjectives used by the American defeat industry in the past five years."

"Yet Iraq is doing much better than its friends hoped and its enemies feared," The Post stated, adding that "the United Nations mandate will be extended in December, and we may yet get an agreement on the status of forces before President Bush leaves the White House in January."

NY Post article CONFIRMED!

The Obama campaign spent more than five hours on Monday attempting to figure out the best refutation of the explosive New York Post report that quoted Iraqi Foreign Minister Hoshyar Zebari as saying that Barack Obama during his July visit to Baghdad demanded that Iraq not negotiate with the Bush Administration on the withdrawal of American troops.

Instead, he asked that they delay such negotiations until after the presidential handover at the end of January.

The three problems, according to campaign sources:

* The report was true,
* there were at least three other people in the room with Obama and Zebari to confirm the conversation,
* and there was concern that there were enough aggressive reporters based in Baghdad with the sources to confirm the conversation that to deny the comments would create a bigger problem.

Instead, Obama's national security spokeswoman Wendy Morigi told reporters that Obama told the Iraqis that they should not rush through what she termed a "Strategic Framework Agreement" governing the future of U.S. forces until after President Bush left office.

In other words, the Iraqis should not negotiate an American troop withdrawal. According to a Senate staffer working for Sen. Joseph Biden, Biden himself got involved in the shaping of the statement. "The whole reason he's on the ticket is the foreign policy insight," explained the staffer.

And this.................

OBAMA OBJECTS BUT THE EVIDENCE SAYS I'M RIGHT

New York Post for complete article ( it is several pages long so I will just put a little of it here.

IN Monday's Post, I discussed how Barack Obama, during his July trip, had asked Iraqi leaders not to finalize an agreement vital to the future of US forces in Iraq - and how the effect of such a delay would be to postpone the departure of the US from Iraq beyond the time Obama himself calls for.

The Obama campaign has objected. While its statement says my article was "filled with distortions," the rebuttal actually centers on a technical point: the differences between two Iraqi-US accords under negotiation - the Status of Forces Agreement (SOFA, to set rules governing US military personnel in Iraq) and the Strategic Framework Agreement (SFA, to settle the legal basis for the US military presence in Iraq in the months and years ahead).

The Obama camp says I confused the two. It continues: "On the Status of Forces Agreement, Sen. Obama has always said he hoped that the US and Iraq would complete it - but if they did not, the option of extending the UN mandate should be considered.

"As to the Strategic Framework Agreement, Sen. Obama has consistently said that any security arrangements that outlast this administration should have the backing of the US Congress - especially given the fact that the Iraqi parliament will have the opportunity to vote on it."

If there is any confusion, it's in Obama's position - for the two agreements are interlinked: You can't have any US military presence under one agreement without having settled the other accord. (Thus, in US-Iraqi talks, the aim is a comprehensive agreement that covers both SOFA and SFA.)

And the claim that Obama only wanted the Strategic Framework Agreement delayed until a new administration takes office, and had no objection to a speedy conclusion of a Status of Forces Agreement, is simply untrue.

Here is how NBC reported Obama's position on June 16, after his conversation in the US with Iraqi Foreign Minister Hoshyar Zebari: "Obama also told Zebari, he said, that Congress should be involved in any negotiations regarding a Status of Forces Agreement with Iraq. He suggested it may be better to wait until the next administration to negotiate such an agreement."

In other words, Obama wanted a delay on the Status of Forces Agreement, not on the Strategic Framework Agreement - as his rebuttal now claims.

Continue reading here for the other 4 pages GREAT article!

Taheri's article concluding remarks:

The real news I see in the Obama statement is that there may be an encouraging evolution in his position on Iraq: The "rebuttal" shows that the senator no longer shares his party leadership's belief that the United States has lost the war in Iraq.

He now talks of "the prospect of lasting success," perhaps hoping that his own administration would inherit the kudos. And he makes no mention of his running mate Joe Biden's pet project for carving Iraq into three separate states. He has even abandoned his earlier claim that toppling Saddam Hussein was "illegal" and admits that the US-led coalition's presence in Iraq has a legal framework in the shape of the UN mandate.

In his statement on my Post article, Obama no longer talks of "withdrawal" but of "redeployment" and "drawdown" - which is exactly what is happening in Iraq now.

While I am encouraged by the senator's evolution, I must also appeal to him to issue a "cease and desist" plea to the battalions of his sympathizers - who have been threatening me with death and worse in the days since my article appeared.

Wild Thing's comment...........

In another time and place with an honest media....this would sink Team Obama.

So let me see if I have this correct,
first he Denied it,
then called Iraqi Foreign Minister Hoshyar Zebari a liar, then admitted to it ..... sort off.

And he wants to be Commander in Chief... he can not even talk with out a TelePrompter....Lord help us!

Barack Obama - Putting his own political and personal interests ahead of our nation's interests.

Fannie Mae CEO Says Obama and Dems Are the "Family" and "Conscience" of Fannie Mae

Explosive Video, Fannie Mae CEO calling Obama and the Dems the "Family" and "Conscience" of Fannie Mae

The Banking Failures are because of the Housing Crisis, which was caused by mortgage lenders handing out bad loans and the biggest offenders: Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac

The Democrats have been taking PAYOFFS from Fannie and Freddie to look the other way FOR DECADES!

NOW VIDEO FOUND of the CEO of Fannie Mae in 2005 explaining the "FAMILY" connection with Democrats

And specifically Barack Obama and the Congressional Black Caucus .

In 2005-- Senator John McCain partnered with three other Senate Republicans to reform the government’s involvement in lending, after an attempt by the Bush administration died in Congress two years earlier. Democrats blocked the reform.

In 2005-- Barack Obama and the Congressional Black Caucus met with Fannie Mae for a "family" event. In 2005 Democrats also blocked reform of Fannie Mae:

This was before Fannie Mae started filling the pockets of Barack Obama with political donations. The junior Illinois senator collected more money from Fannie Mae than any other Washington politician except Senator Dodd in the last decade. Obama was able to accomplish this feat in just 3 years.

This video shows Fannie Mae CEO talking to members of the Congressional Black Caucus:

The Democrats have been taking PAYOFFS from Fannie and Freddie and have looked the other way FOR DECADES!

They've blocked reform.

Wild Thing's comment..........

Blocked reform. Took their money. Where I come from that's corruption. Thats being on the take.

McCain needs to use this in a TV Add in swing states!

Prominent Clinton Backer and DNC Member To Endorse McCain

Lynn Forester de Rothschild

Prominent Clinton backer and DNC member to endorse McCain

http://www.ustream.tv/channel/mccain-2008-live

WASHINGTON

Lynn Forester de Rothschild, a prominent Hillary Clinton supporter and member of the Democratic National Committee’s Platform Committee, will endorse John McCain for president on Wednesday, her spokesman tells CNN.

The announcement will take place at a news conference on Capitol Hill, just blocks away from the DNC headquarters. Forester will “campaign and help him through the election,” the spokesman said of her plans to help the Republican presidential nominee.

Forester was a major donor for Clinton earning her the title as a Hillraiser for helping to raise at least $100,000 for the New York Democratic senator’s failed presidential bid.

In an interview with CNN this summer, Forester did not hide her distaste for eventual Democratic presidential nominee Barack Obama.

“This is a hard decision for me personally because frankly I don't like him,” she said of Obama in an interview with CNN’s Joe Johns. “I feel like he is an elitist. I feel like he has not given me reason to trust him.”

Forester is the CEO of EL Rothschild, a holding company with businesses around the world. She is married to international banker Sir Evelyn de Rothschild. Forester is a member of the DNC’s Democrats Abroad chapter and splits her time living in London and New York.

More about Lynn Forester de Rothschild

Her Portfolio

The American entrepreneur—and friend of the Clintons and the Blairs—talks about India, telecom, Conrad Black, and her marriage to Sir Evelyn Rothschild.

When 67-year-old British banking scion Sir Evelyn Rothschild first set eyes on 44-year-old Lynn Forester at the 1998 Bilderberg conference—the matchmaker was none other than Henry Kissinger—she was already a woman of major means.

A corporate lawyer and telecommunications entrepreneur, the sparkly blond ex-wife of former New York politician Andrew Stein had made more than $100 million from the sale of cleverly acquired wireless broadband licenses. She was also sexy, charming, and dazzlingly well connected. Two years later, after the smitten Sir Evelyn divorced his second wife, Victoria Schott, the mother of his three children, Forester became the third Lady Rothschild. After marrying in November 2000 at a London synagogue, they honeymooned at the White House, guests of Lynn's good friends Bill and Hillary Clinton.

Today the New Jersey-born Lady de Rothschild—the flashiest hostess in London—is mates with Tony and Cherie Blair, among other topflight Britons. She's also mistress of the former John Singer Sargent home in Chelsea and of Ascott House, the 3,200-acre Rothschild family estate in Buckinghamshire, and the chief executive of E.L. Rothschild, the holding company that she owns with her third husband to manage investments in the Economist and various enterprises in India. Those include FieldFresh, a startup that will grow and export Indian fruits and vegetables for markets in Europe and Asia, and a soon-to-be-announced retail venture aimed at the exploding Indian middle class.

In July, Sir Evelyn completed the sale of his stake in the centuries-old English branch of the Rothschild banking empire (for a reported $600 million)—which frees up a lot of capital for them to be major players in the Indian business world.

This week, Lady de Rothschild talked exclusively with Portfolio.com about business, pleasure, politics, and society—especially her devotion to the idea of President Hillary. "I'm very comfortable in brand-new spaces," she says. "I'm very comfortable with a blank sheet of paper. In fact, I've made my money by doing what people have never done before."

Wow, I wonder if that has ever happened before.

She was for Hillary and now if going to vote for McCain/ Palin.

They were interviewing her and when the woman asking her questions got done she made a nasty face like she was not one bit happy with Lynn Forester de Rothschild's decision.

Joe Biden Tells Us How Very Smart He and Obama Are ~ Heh heh

1988 Road to the White House with Sen. Biden

In this 1988 Road to the White House, Sen. Joe Biden (D-DE) about his plans to run for president and outlined his political agenda. He was also asked about his academic record.

The reporter asks Biden what Law school did you attend and where did you finish in your class?

Biden gets ticked off by the question and.......................

LMAO I love old movies, and as I watched this video of Joe Biden it reminded me of a very old movie I have always liked. " The Man Who Came To Dinner" and Jimmy Durante sings a song , 'Have you ever had the feeling that you wanted to stay....' ....that sounds just like Biden with his

I bring these two videos up because of what Joe Biden said at a rally in Flat Rock, Michigan on Monday.
(September 15, 2008):

Joe Biden declares Obama too smart for some voters:

"The Republican party and some of the blogs and others on the far right, are trying very hard to paint a picture of this man, they’re trying the best as they can to mischaracterize who he is and what he stands for.

"All this stuff about how different Barack Obama is, they’re not just used to somebody really smart. They’re just not used to somebody who’s really well educated. They just don’t know quite how to handle it. Cause if he’s as smart as Barack is he must not be from my neighborhood."

LOL If the ‘One’ is so smart, then he wouldn’t mind releasing his college transcripts.

A few of Barack’s Bloopers:

Obama thinks he visited 57 States.

Obama saw dead people in his audience on Memorial Day.

He can't pronounce the state “Massatusitts”.

Obama claims he did not know the true nature of ‘Reverend’ Wright, Tony Rezko, William Ayers and ‘Father’ Pflager, yet “knows” that Sarah Palin lacks experience.

Obama thinks his granny is a ‘typical white person’.

Obama and his advocating a Breathalyzer for asthmatic children

Obama’s idea of a good vice presidential candidate is...Joe Biden.

No Biden, you slug, we fear Obama because he is a Marxist, racist, Communist. The man hasn’t a brain, he is a drone.

My Name Is Barack Obama and I Am A Teleprompter Addict

Obama's teleprompter hits the trail

CNN politics

It appears Barack Obama's teleprompter is hitting the campaign trail.

The Democratic presidential nominee has never tried to hide the fact he delivers speeches off the device, though normally he doesn't use one at standard campaign rallies and town hall events.

But the Illinois senator used a teleprompter at both his Colorado events Monday — making for a particularly peculiar scene in Pueblo, where the prompter was set up in the middle of what is normally a rodeo ring.

Wild Thing's comment.............

If Obama is elected, I wonder if he will have a teleprompter when he sits down with foreign dignitaries. I’m sure he doesn’t want to say too many “ums” and “uhs” in front of Ahmadinejad. He will have to travel with it every place he goes, every country, every State dinner, everywhere.

Obama, when asked a question during the debates:
“Uh..uh... Jim, can you please load up teleprompter script number 23?”

$9,000,000.00 Change Obama Can Believe In !

Guests arrive at the Greystone mansion in in Beverly Hills, Calif., for a fundraiser for Democratic presidential candidate Sen. Barack Obama D-Ill. Tuesday Sept. 16, 2008.

BEVERLY HILLS, Calif. (AP) — Barack Obama partied with Hollywood celebrities Tuesday night and with the help of Oscar-winning singer and actress Barbra Streisand raised an eye-popping $9 million for his presidential campaign and the Democratic Party.

The night was split into two glitzy events, a reception and dinner costing $28,500 each at the Greystone Mansion, followed by entertainment by Streisand at the nearby Regent Beverly Wilshire Hotel. About 250-300 people were expected at the dinner and about 800 at the entertainment, which cost $2,500 a ticket.

Dinner guests seen by reporters, or noted by waiters, included Will Ferrell, Jodie Foster, Leonardo DiCaprio, Jamie Lee Curtis and DreamWorks founders Steven Spielberg, David Geffen and Jeffrey Katzenberg.

Obama spent more than an hour before dinner getting his picture taken with guests. He said later that people had encouraged him to be tougher and had questioned why he was so calm in a close race against Republican John McCain.

"I'm skinny but I'm tough," he said. "I'm from Chicago and we don't play. Just keep steady."

"If we can cut through the nonsense and the lipstick and the pigs and the silliness, then I'm absolutely convinced that we are going to win," Obama said, referring to some of the offbeat charges raised against him.

"The reason I'm calm ... is I've got confidence in the American people," he said. "I really think they want to see us do better." Standing in the courtyard of the palatial estate, he said his campaign was dedicated to people who need jobs and health care and worry about their pensions and sending children to college.

"It's about those who will never see the inside of a building like this," Obama said.

He said the economic turmoil in recent days had been sobering for America. "It's reminded people that this is not a game. This is not a reality show, no offense to any of you," Obama said to laughter. "This is not a sitcom."

It was a day of contrasts for Obama. Earlier in the day, the Democratic presidential candidate spoke about the public's deepening economic anxieties and portrayed Republican challenger John McCain as out of touch with the needs of hardworking people.

Then he flew to California for a night of hobnobbing with Hollywood notables.

Wild Thing's comment..........

LOL Well see Obama has got to pay for those styrofoam Greek columns.

It’s enough for 500 - 600 teleprompter systems. heh heh

Sarah Palin Commander -in- Chief of Alaska National Guard

U.S. Northern Command brought the 100th Missile Defense Brigade (Ground-Based Midcourse Defense) to operational level for the first time in response to the July 2006 North Korean missile crisis. Previously maintained in test mode, the brigade, headquartered at Colorado Springs, Colorado, and its 49th Missile Defense Battalion (Ground-Based Missile Defense) at Fort Greely, Alaska, remained at high alert status for the duration of the crisis.

Gretta VanSustren interviews Major General Craig E. Campbell from the Alaska National Guard speaks of Sarah Palins actual role in commanding her state's National Guard forces.

Wild Thing's comment...........

The Democrats hate this so much, they truly hate it when there are so many good things about Sarah Palin. I think it is because it reminds them of how useless they ( the democrats ) are.

Gov. Sarah Palin Rally in Golden, Colorado

Sarah Palin Speech, at The Jefferson County Fairgrounds, Golden, Colorado on Sept 15, 2008

Republican vice presidential candidate, Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin shakes hands with Denver police officers before getting on her airplane in Denver, Monday, Sept. 15, 2008

from a Veteran that attended the rally.....

"I was one of the first that she met and I asked her to sign my boonie hat. I gave her my marker and she signed my hat and asked if she could use the marker to sign someones ticket. I told her that she could keep the marker."

VIDEO of her speech....Parts 1 and 2

As far as how many attended the video site says 5,000. I also heard more then that, so not sure.

Alaska Governor Sarah Palin, addressed the problems with the U.S. economy during a campaign stump in Golden, Colorado Monday morning.

Governor Palin was met with loud cheering and applause. She was very upbeat and forceful in speaking about the economy. She said she and McCain believed that the regulatory laws needed to be reformed, and that she was glad to hear that the Fed refused to bail out another financial institution at the expense of the American taxpayers. She spoke about the connections between Alaska and Colorado, and of course introduced her husband Todd. She spoke about support for the vets, and made several new statements on issues facing this nation.

“This crisis is an issue of real concern for the people across this great country. It’s taking a toll on this economy...I’m glad to see that in this case the Federal Reserve and the Treasury have said “no” to bail out another one — this time Lehman Brothers,” said Palin.

“This crisis happened for several reasons, which have to be addressed right now. Our regulatory system is outdated and it needs a complete overhaul. Washington has ignored this. Washington has been asleep at the switch,” said Palin.

“John McCain and I are going to put an end to the mismanagement and abuses in Washington and on Wall Street that have resulted in this financial crisis. We are going to reform the way Wall Street does business,” said Palin.

As I watched these videos, it occurred to me how many times she would stop in the middle of her speech to applaud her audience. I can't remember seeing that done quite like that before. She seems to appreciate her audience, in a way that other politicians don't.
When she asked to acknowledge the military members in the crowd, ( second video ) she not only clapped for them, but she also joined in the “USA” chant with the group. She didn't seem ill at ease or impatient to resume her talk. She just sort of slips in and out of being the crowd.

Sarah Palin just loves people. You get the feeling she really is in this for nothing more than service to country.
God bless McCain/Palin 2008!!!!!

God bless America!!!!

Obama Is ‘owed’ The Presidency - If He Loses It's Whitey's Fault

Lena Horne - Stormy Weather (1943)

The Big 'What If'

The hopes of black America ride on his shoulders. But the outcome's way up in the air.

Washington Post .......... for entire article it is two pages

By Randall Kennedy

( Randall Kennedy, a Harvard University law professor, an African American and an Obama supporter)

If Obama loses, I personally will feel disappointed, frustrated, hurt. I'll conclude that a fabulous opportunity has been lost. I'll believe that American voters have made a huge mistake. And I'll think that an important ingredient of their error is racial prejudice -- not the hateful, snarling, open bigotry that terrorized my parents in their youth, but rather a vague, sophisticated, low-key prejudice that is chameleonlike in its ability to adapt to new surroundings and to hide even from those firmly in its grip.

If Obama is defeated, I will, for a brief time, be stunned by feelings of dejection, anger and resentment. These will only be the stronger because the climate of this election year so clearly favors the Democrats, because this was supposed to be an election the Republicans couldn't win, and because in my view, the Obama ticket is obviously superior to McCain's.

But I hope that soon thereafter I'll find solace and encouragement in contemplating this unprecedented development: A major political party nominated a black man for the highest office in the land, and that man waged an intelligent, brave campaign in which many millions of Americans of all races enthusiastically supported an African American standard-bearer.

I hope that I'll take to heart the wisdom offered by two of my students. "Obama losing," one wrote, "would be hurtful, but it still spells substantial progress. . . . Change WILL come -- the wheels have been set in motion." Declared the second: "Sometimes you have to believe in the change before it comes (and in the face of its apparent defeat) for the change to be possible."

Wild Thing's comment.........

Yo, Randall, he be losing cuz he be a Commie. Can you dig it?

OK well how about this.......I'm voting against the half-white part of him that is an asshole. heh heh There that settles that! hahaha

This idea that the Democrats and a black man are owed the presidency is highly insulting. Especially considering that Obama is an awful candidate who insults the voters as bitter and most always sounds angry when giving a speech.

All HO-bama has going for him is race and his mastery at manipulating the weak-minded to support him on this basis. And this writer of this article is a racist!

The truth is that rather than bridge and heal the racial divide, Obama and his supports in particular, have made the racial divide worse, far worse.

I had a conversation at the gym with a left winger who said blacks will riot if Obama loses. He expected me to be scared.

Fine with me I said, it won’t be the first time. I moved to Florida from the Los Angeles area I know all about blacks and their riots and killing people and burning businesses in their own neighborhoods. If rioters come to my neighborhood and threaten our homes, we’ll shoot then down like dogs.

He hadn’t thought of that. lol

When the riots happened in Los Angels, they were spreading as far as Las Vegas where the blacks there were also trying to start things up. The casino's had some " friends" that stood across one of the main streets in the black area, long coats and big guns and they made an announcement to the possible rioters not to even THINK about it. hahaa It worked.

I will never forget that week, it lasted for almost 5 days of fires and horrible things we saw on TV. If we drove on the freeways we could see smoke and flames from all the fires the had started. And guess what Obama's friend, Oprah did. She invited some of the gang members on her show so they could tell about how ruff their lives were and why they deserved to be upset and do what they did. I will never forget that as long as I live. I had never seen her show and have not seen it since that one day. We watched it that one time to see what on earth she wanted them on her show for and we sure found out.

One gang member told about how he asked a man passing him on the sidewalk for a match or light for his cigarette and after the man gave it to him he shot him and then put his smoke out on his chest as the man laid there dying. Apparently there was some kind of deal made with Oprah's show that these gang members could talk and not get arrested with anything they said or something.

I remember a few years ago Randall Kennedy complained that when he and a white colleague approached a check-in desk at a hotel at the same time, the clerk addressed the white guy first. This is a guy who has a paranoid delusional concept of racism. An illustration of how emotional intensity distorts perceptions and judgment. And he's a Harvard law professor, passing this crap on to a bunch of soon to be lawyers. Good luck America.

So here is how this stupid formula works:

You are white + You don’t vote for Obama = You are racist.

It doesn’t matter that you’re a Republican and also didn’t vote for Carter, Dukakis, Clinton, Gore or Kerry. If you’re white and you don’t vote for Obama, then you are a racist.

It doesn’t matter that you’re a conservative and wouldn’t dream of voting for a left wing liberal. If you’re white and you don’t vote for Obama, then you are a racist.

It doesn’t matter that you don’t like the idea of a presidential candidate belonging to a church where the minister shouts “G. D. America!” from the pulpit; having a too-close association with a former and still-unrepentent flag-stomping terrorist; and doing real estate deals with a sleazy slumlord. If you’re white and you don’t vote for Obama, then you are a racist.

It doesn’t matter that you think Obama is wrong on national defense, wrong on taxes, wrong on abortion, and a long list of other issues. If you’re white and you don’t vote for Obama, then you are a racist.

If this is how Harvard University law professors like Randall Kennedy think, then they are even stupider than I thought they were.

False Prophet, Cult Leader Deepak Chopra Is Afraid Of Sarah Palin

Deepak Chopra on Palin: Don't Elect Another Reagan

Sources :
newsmax ...for complete article

Huffington Post

Holistic-health hawker Deepak Chopra has joined far-left Sarah Palin bashers, writing that Palin’s conservative views reverse “40 years of feminist progress,” and admonishes voters not to “elect another Ronald Reagan.”

Chopra, in an article entitled, “Obama and the Palin Effect” in The Huffington Post, says that Republican vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin appeals to base emotions, “exhorting people to obey their worst impulses.”

He writes that Palin lurks as an anti-Obama “shadow” and says she appeals to the part of the psyche that counters virtues with negative qualities, such as “fear, anger, violence, selfishness, and suspicion of ‘the other.’”

Citing Palin’s successful small-town appeal and growing values-voter appeal, which have been hugely effective in garnering women voters, Chopra says “she can add mom to apple pie on her resume, while blithely reversing 40 years of feminist progress.”

And in a slam to Republican standard-bearer Ronald Reagan, Chopra advises voters that “it would be a shame to elect another Ronald Reagan, whose smiling persona was a stalking horse for the reactionary forces that have brought us to the demoralized state we are in.”

Part of his contempt for the Alaska governor derives from Chopra’s interpretation of Palin’s values.

He writes that her “small-town values” are “a denial of America’s global role, a return to petty, small-minded parochialism.”

This is what he says Sarah Palin stands for:

"Look at what she stands for:
--Small town values -- a denial of America's global role, a return to petty, small-minded parochialism.
--Ignorance of world affairs -- a repudiation of the need to repair America's image abroad.
--Family values -- a code for walling out anybody who makes a claim for social justice. Such strangers, being outside the family, don't need to be heeded.
--Rigid stands on guns and abortion -- a scornful repudiation that these issues can be negotiated with those who disagree.
--Patriotism -- the usual fallback in a failed war.
--"Reform" -- an italicized term, since in addition to cleaning out corruption and excessive spending, one also throws out anyone who doesn't fit your ideology."

Palin reinforces the overall message of the reactionary right, which has been in play since 1980, that social justice is liberal-radical, that minorities and immigrants, being different from "us" pure American types, can be ignored, that progressivism takes too much effort and globalism is a foreign threat.

The radical right marches under the banners of "I'm all right, Jack," and "Why change? Everything's OK as it is." The irony, of course, is that Gov. Palin is a woman and a reactionary at the same time. She can add mom to apple pie on her resume, while blithely reversing forty years of feminist progress.

It would be a shame to elect another Reagan, whose smiling persona was a stalking horse for the reactionary forces that have brought us to the demoralized state we are in. We deserve to see what we are getting, without disguise.

Wild Thing's comment.........

A false prophet backs a false messiah.

This guy is a major-league charlatan and fraud. Hey Deepak....there's a Community in India that needs organizing.....go back.

What is greater than the love of God, Family, Country that Sarah’s life demonstrates or the qualities that are exhibited by Obama’s friends...Racism, Class envy, Violence, Arrogance, Deceit?

It is good to know this guy's opinion. He also claims you can prevent and reverse cataracts by brushing your teeth, scraping your tongue, spitting into a cup of water, and washing your eyes for a few minutes with the mixture.
Chopra and Obama are both in the false hope peddling business.

He remiinds me of Jim Jones as well as his followers the same kind of brain dead people walking this earth.

He’s got it exactly backwords. Gov Palin represents optimisim, American exceptionialism, and the belief that our country is the greatest beacon of freedom in the free world. The Obamessiah is the shadow. He represents the metastasizing scourge of our nation that says America is the cause of every ill on the planet and that she deserves to be brought to her knees and subjugated to tinpot dictators, fascists and extremists.

I pray the majority of Americans have clearer vision than Deepak Chopra and his benefactor, rascist Oprah Winfrey.

1. Small town values — a nostaligic return to simpler times disguises a denial of America’s global role, a return to petty, small-minded parochialism. 2. Ignorance of world affairs — a repudiation of the need to repair America’s image abroad.”

Oh boy. I think he should stick to scamming people with his “enlightenment” routine. LOL And for 15G a weekend, Deepak will help you “get in touch with your higher self”.

LMAO ....Hey Chopra, have you met Joe Biden yet????

....Thank you Mark for sending this to me.

Obama Tried To Stall GI's Iraq Withdrawl

Obama Tried To Stall GI's Iraq Withdrawl

NY Post

WHILE campaigning in public for a speedy withdrawal of US troops from Iraq, Sen. Barack Obama has tried in private to persuade Iraqi leaders to delay an agreement on a draw-down of the American military presence.

According to Iraqi Foreign Minister Hoshyar Zebari, Obama made his demand for delay a key theme of his discussions with Iraqi leaders in Baghdad in July.

"He asked why we were not prepared to delay an agreement until after the US elections and the formation of a new administration in Washington," Zebari said in an interview.

Obama insisted that Congress should be involved in negotiations on the status of US troops - and that it was in the interests of both sides not to have an agreement negotiated by the Bush administration in its "state of weakness and political confusion."

"However, as an Iraqi, I prefer to have a security agreement that regulates the activities of foreign troops, rather than keeping the matter open." Zebari says.

Though Obama claims the US presence is "illegal," he suddenly remembered that Americans troops were in Iraq within the legal framework of a UN mandate. His advice was that, rather than reach an accord with the "weakened Bush administration," Iraq should seek an extension of the UN mandate.

While in Iraq, Obama also tried to persuade the US commanders, including Gen. David Petraeus, to suggest a "realistic withdrawal date." They declined.

Obama has made many contradictory statements with regard to Iraq. His latest position is that US combat troops should be out by 2010. Yet his effort to delay an agreement would make that withdrawal deadline impossible to meet.

-snip-

Iraqi leaders are divided over the US election. Iraqi President Jalal Talabani (whose party is a member of the Socialist International) sees Obama as "a man of the Left" - who, once elected, might change his opposition to Iraq's liberation. Indeed, say Talabani's advisers, a President Obama might be tempted to appropriate the victory that America has already won in Iraq by claiming that his intervention transformed failure into success.

Maliki's advisers have persuaded him that Obama will win - but the prime minister worries about the senator's "political debt to the anti-war lobby" - which is determined to transform Iraq into a disaster to prove that toppling Saddam Hussein was "the biggest strategic blunder in US history."

Other prominent Iraqi leaders, such as Vice President Adel Abdul-Mahdi and Kurdish regional President Massoud Barzani, believe that Sen. John McCain would show "a more realistic approach to Iraqi issues."

Obama has given Iraqis the impression that he doesn't want Iraq to appear anything like a success, let alone a victory, for America. The reason? He fears that the perception of US victory there might revive the Bush Doctrine of "pre-emptive" war - that is, removing a threat before it strikes at America.

Despite some usual equivocations on the subject, Obama rejects pre-emption as a legitimate form of self -defense. To be credible, his foreign-policy philosophy requires Iraq to be seen as a failure, a disaster, a quagmire, a pig with lipstick or any of the other apocalyptic adjectives used by the American defeat industry in the past five years.

Yet Iraq is doing much better than its friends hoped and its enemies feared. The UN mandate will be extended in December, and we may yet get an agreement on the status of forces before President Bush leaves the White House in January.

Wild Thing's comment..........

This is huge (and serious) -- Iraqi Foreign Minister says Obamessiah tried to interfere with negotiations about the status of forces agreement and impending US troop withdrawals to try to push everything later..... he claims he wants troop withdrawals but he interfered to try to prevent any progress before the election.

Report is that Obama tried to derail impending decisions on troop withdrawals and status-of-forces agreement, obviously to benefit his own political prospects!!!! If this is not treason it is the first cousin of treason. Working privately to try to derail official US govt. negotiations in a WAR zone over such highly sensitive and important matters.

"Obama insisted that Congress should be involved in negotiations on the status of US troops "

Oh, dear God help us. He's got absolutely no clue about the separation of the executive and legislative branches, and which one is actually the commander-in-chief. We CANNOT let this bozo Obambi get into power. His stupidity is simply overwhelming.

Another paragraph in the article sums up what is going on, although of course Obama will try to deny it:

"Obama has given Iraqis the impression that he doesn't want Iraq to appear anything like a success, let alone a victory, for America. The reason? He fears that the perception of US victory there might revive the Bush Doctrine of "pre-emptive" war - that is, removing a threat before it strikes at America."

The Logan Act makes it a felony and provides for a prison sentence of up to three years for any American, “without authority of the United States,” to communicate with a foreign government in an effort to influence that government’s behavior on any “disputes or controversies with the United States.”

I cannot express the seething rage I feel right now towards that arrogant little parasite.

There is also this:

Face to face with Iraq's leaders, Barack Obama gained fresh support yesterday for the idea of pulling all U.S. combat forces out of the war zone by 2010. But the Iraqis stopped short of actual timetables or endorsement of Obama's pledge to withdraw troops within 16 months if he wins the presidency.

Obama was over there directly undermining the White House's current negotiations:

The White House expressed unhappiness about Iraqi leaders' apparent public backing for Obama's troop-withdrawal plans and suggested the Iraqis may be trying to use the U.S. presidential election as leverage for negotiations on the United States' presence and future obligations in the country.

“We don't think that talking about specific negotiating tactics or your negotiating position in the press is the best way to negotiate a deal,” White House press secretary Dana Perino said after al-Maliki was quoted in a magazine article supporting Obama's proposed 16-month troop withdrawal timeline. Al-Maliki's spokesman, al-Dabbagh, initially appeared to try to discredit the magazine report but yesterday expressed anew hopes that U.S. combat forces could be out of Iraq by 2010.

The Bush administration has refused to set specific troop-level targets but last week offered to discuss a “general time horizon” for a U.S. combat troop exit.

AND THIS!

Obama Plans Trip Pre-Election Day Visit to Iraq and Afghanistan

Among the issues being discussed with the two presidential candidates is the long-term security accord between Iraq and the United States. While the Bush administration would like to see an agreement reached before the summer’s political conventions, Mr. Obama said today that he opposed such a timetable.

“My concern is that the Bush administration, in a weakened state politically, ends up trying to rush an agreement that in some ways might be binding to the next administration, whether it’s my administration or Senator McCain’s administration,” Mr. Obama said. “The foreign minister agreed that the next administration should not be bound by an agreement that’s currently made.”

Obama doesn’t deserve to have a shack on a city dump with this kind of Traitorous Behavior, Obama is SCUM! Trying yet to bring DEFEAT TO IRAQ solely for HIS SUCCESS! Obama, who’s name we dont really know, and who’s citizenship we are denied knowledge of is a DISGUSTING, PERVERTED, RADICAL MUSLIM TERRORIST!!!

This has been on Drudge, Rush talked about it and also Rush mentioned possible Logan Act violation, Mark Levin talked about it as well, Fox News, and online Fox news has it, and Fox and Friends and in the links I have posted in the above information. It's also on Yahoo as the most ‘blogged story’ !!! GOOD! The power of the internet and conservative talk shows and some at Fox too.

I hope it gets more legs and not put aside but brought out more and more into the open. I know, no, we all know how the media will stand by Obama no matter what. But there are stilll some holdouts that have character and love America and we all know that too. Those are the ones we need to hope and pray make this what it is HUGE news.

Could this be even beyond The Logan Act if it’s about an ongoing war? Why not treason?

Oba,a's camp denial. They are blaming the Iraqi for misunderstanding BO! ( Politico ) SHEESH in the article they bring up McCain and he has absolutely NOTHING to do with this story at all.

Obam Denial posted at Fox

Obama camp calling Iraqi FM a liar.... by implication (or else Taheri got it wrong?)..... boy, I hope Taheri has his ducks in a row, that the Iraqi FM stands by the statement, that this story does simply melt away in a "he said, he said" cloud.

Rush transcript

On Summer Trip to Iraq, Obama Tried to Delay US Troop Pullout

RUSH: Amir Taheri today in the New York Post, a damning piece, but typical. This tells us everything we want to know about The Messiah, Barack Obama, the Lord, the Most Merciful One. "While campaigning in public for a speedy withdrawal of US troops from Iraq, Sen. Barack Obama has tried in private to persuade Iraqi leaders to delay an agreement on a draw-down of the American military presence. According to Iraqi Foreign Minister Hoshyar Zebari, Obama made his demand for delay a key theme of his discussions with Iraqi leaders in Baghdad in July." Mike, grab One Night in Baghdad from the parody archive songs from Shanklin. Let me know when you've dug it out there. "'He asked why we were not prepared to delay an agreement until after the US elections and the formation of a new administration in Washington,' Zebari said in an interview. Obama insisted that Congress should be involved in negotiations on the status of US troops - and that it was in the interests of both sides not to have an agreement negotiated by the Bush administration in its 'state of weakness and political confusion.' ... Obama has made many contradictory statements with regard to Iraq. His latest position is that US combat troops should be out by 2010. Yet his effort to delay an agreement would make that withdrawal deadline impossible to meet. ... According to Zebari, the envisaged time span is two or three years - departure in 2011 or 2012. That would let Iraq hold its next general election, the third since liberation, and resolve a number of domestic political issues. Even then, the dates mentioned are only 'notional,' making the timing and the cadence of withdrawal conditional on realities on the ground as appreciated by both sides."

Now, you might be saying, "What's the big deal about this?" Well, two things. Number one, Obama has been clamoring for these troops to get out of there now, now, now. Obama was part of the cabal that wanted defeat of the US military this year. He wanted defeat of the US military this year. He wanted them out this year. He wanted to hang defeat around the neck of George W. Bush and run against that. Now all of a sudden he wants a delay in the withdrawal of troops so that he can say he did it and fulfill a campaign pledge to the kook fringe. What does this remind you of? Here we have a genuine October Surprise story. Remember when they falsely accused George Bush 41 of going over to Paris to make sure the Iranians kept the US hostages until after the November election 1980 so that Reagan would get the credit. There was never any basis for that story, just the seriousness of the charge, there was never any basis to the truth of that story and yet here's Obama doing exactly what Democrats accused George Bush 41 of doing in 1980. What a slimeball! You people on the left, do you understand your guy wants troops in Iraq until at least 2012 now, if out then, so that he can be the guy in charge of saying "I got 'em out." I guess now we know what Obama did One Night in Baghdad.

We knew that Obama's summer trip was bad, but we had no idea he was playing games with our troops for his benefit. So he goes to Berlin, he trashes the country, skipped a visit to wounded soldiers when he was in Berlin, let's not forget this. And now we found out he's playing games with the lives of our troops, maybe even a Logan Act violation, going there and asking the Iraqi guy, as a mere senator, "Hey, can't you delay your political action here?" That trip overseas was a disaster. It was beginning of the end of the bloom coming off the rose. This is not experience, this is not judgment, this is change, but it's breaking a law and his faith with his followers and our troops. Barack Obama asking the Iraqi foreign minister to keep US troops longer than the commanders on the ground think they are needed. Stop and think of that!
END TRANSCRIPT

McCain Responds to Obama's Reported Undermining of the Commander-In-Chief During Wartime

The McCain Campaign has issued a statement responding to the report from Amer Taheri that Sen. Obama secretly negotiated with the Iraqi government regarding U.S. withdrawal from Iraq. McCain spokesman Randy Scheunemann stated as follows:

At this point, it is not yet clear what official American negotiations Senator Obama tried to undermine with Iraqi leaders, but the possibility of such actions is unprecedented. It should be concerning to all that he reportedly urged that the democratically-elected Iraqi government listen to him rather than the US administration in power. If news reports are accurate, this is an egregious act of political interference by a presidential candidate seeking political advantage overseas. Senator Obama needs to reveal what he said to Iraq's Foreign Minister during their closed door meeting. The charge that he sought to delay the withdrawal of Americans from Iraq raises serious questions about Senator Obama's judgment and it demands an explanation.

Another Of Obama's Bill Ayers Associations

Who is Mike Klonsky?

Mike Klonsky, an Obama supporter and former associate of the radicals who formed the terrorist group the Weatherman, received a $175,000 grant from the William Ayers/Barack Obama-led Annenberg Challenge to run the Small Schools Workshop.

Klonsky belonged to the Students for a Democratic Society (SDS) and was best friends with friends William Ayers and Bernadine Dohrn who later became famous for their acts of terrorism.
This was at his blog on the Obama website:

How these people work their lies:
On May 12, 1969, Klonsky and four other SDSers were arrested at the organization's Chicago national headquarters for assaulting a police officer, interfering with a firefighter, and inciting mob action[/b]. A prank call to a local police station said there had been a shooting at SDS' offices. When the police arrived, Klonsky and the others were convinced it was a ruse to gain access to SDS' offices.[1] Klonsky convinced the police everything was fine, when a second prank call brought local firefighters to the scene. When the police attempted to force entry to the offices, Klonsky and the others resisted. Convinced state repression of SDS was coming, Klonsky told a national television audience on CBS' "Face the Nation" that police repression of the New Left was being planned by the U.S. Department of Justice.

In late 1969, Klonsky founded the October League, a communist party which in 1977 became the Communist Party, Marxist-Leninist. He was elected the party's chairman. The group opposed Gay Liberation and supported the regime of Mohammad Reza Pahlavi, Shah of Iran. Klonsky made several trips to China beginning in July 1977, where he was warmly received by government and Communist Party of China officials and treated to state dinners.

Meet Obama's new Bill Ayers associate

Ex-communist leader tied to terrorist eliminated from campaign website

wnd ....for complete article

The official campaign website of Sen. Barack Obama has completely scrubbed a series of user-generated blog postings on the candidate's site by a former top communist activist who is an associate of former Weathermen terrorist leader William Ayers.

The move has raised questions regarding Obama's relationship with the deleted blogger, Mike Klonsky, who runs an education organization that was founded by Ayers and that received a substantial grant from a group directed by Obama.

Obama's official site allows registered users to form groups and post content in online "community" blogs. The site boasts tens of thousands of such community blogs. Obama's spokesmen previously have stated the campaign does not monitor all content posted on the blogs, but it promptly removes any content brought to its attention that is deemed inappropriate or hateful.

Klonsky posted several blog pieces on Obama's site on education policy that did not contain what can be described as hateful material, but his postings were entirely deleted in June after several independent bloggers noted Klonsky's connections to Obama and Ayers.

Klonsky is director of the Small Schools Workshop, an outreach program founded in 1991 by Ayers with the stated goal of providing support for teachers who want to create smaller learning environments. Ayers reportedly recruited Klonsky to head the Workshop.

Klonsky served with Ayers and Ayer's wife, former Weathermen terrorist Bernadine Dohrn, in the Students for a Democratic Society group.

In the 1970s, Klonsky became a top communist activist and leader of the Marxist-Leninist Communist Party.

He reportedly identified as a Maoist, and traveled in 1977 to Beijing, where he held friendly meetings with the Chinese leadership.

In a brief conversation with WND yesterday, Klonsky would not state whether he is still a communist. He did not deny his associations with Ayers or his communist activism in the 1970s.

Klonsky's blog postings were removed from Obama site during a period the presidential candidate has been repeatedly questioned about his relationship with Ayers, who is currently a professor at the University of Illinois at Chicago and was a member of the Weathermen group, which sought to overthrow the U.S. government and took responsibility for bombing the U.S. Capitol in 1971.

Ayers has admitted to involvement in the bombings of U.S. governmental buildings in the 1970s.

Ayers told the New York Times in an interview released Sept. 11, 2001, "I don't regret setting bombs. I feel we didn't do enough." He posed for a photograph accompanying the piece stepping on an American flag.

Last week, Ayers wrote on his blog he still feels not enough was done to oppose the Vietnam War, although he clarified, "I don't think violent resistance is necessarily the answer, but I do think opposition and refusal is imperative."

Wild Thing's comment........

Obama and his campaign have been allowing these people and many others like this Mike Klonosky to have their community blogs at his campaign website. And this so called man wants to be President of the USA? God help us all if he wins.

We will see these kinds of people staying in the Lincoln bedroom, walking in the halls of our White House and dining on our tax dollars at State dinners. Then add in their influence on Obama that he obvioulsy sees nothing wrong in associating with them.

Mike Klonsky - Communist leader...and along with Bill Ayers, promoter of American terrorism, created a school workshop that received a grant from the Annenberg Challenge, the Chicago branch created by Bill Ayers and had Barack Obama as president and chairman, and now Klonsky gets his own little blog on Obama's offical website...

Very conerning to know about these things and why on earth people do not want to wake up and see how Obama is imo the enemy of our country.

....Thank you Mark for sending this article to me.

'Hard-core Democrat' Jilll Greenberg Photographer Boasts Tricking McCain For Horror Pic

Magazine photographer shoots McCain to look like monster

'Hard-core Democrat' boasts she tricked candidate into horror pic

When the Atlantic sought a portrait of GOP presidential nominee John McCain for the cover of its October 2008 issue, the magazine called self-described "hard-core Democrat" Jill Greenberg, who took the opportunity to purposefully make McCain look bad, including snapping a shot in which the candidate looms like a horror-movie monster.

Photo of Jill Greenberg

"Some of my artwork has been pretty anti-Bush, so maybe it was somewhat irresponsible for them [The Atlantic] to hire me.” - Jill Greenberg

Greenberg, whose website – www.manipulator.com – advertises her heavily retouched photography style, told the editors of Photo District News that she chose to omit even a standard, complimentary retouching of McCain's photos.

"I left his eyes red and his skin looking bad," she said.

According to a report in PDNPulse, a professional photography blog by the editors of Photo District News, Greenberg tricked McCain during the photo shoot in early August into thinking he was lit by a modeling light, when in reality, the lighting was rigged from below to make McCain look awful.

The lighting effect caused by a strobe positioned below McCain cast large, dark shadows on the wall behind him, and the camera angle made him look more like actor Boris Karloff in the black-and-white movie Frankenstein than a presidential candidate.

"He had no idea," said Greenberg in the PDNPulse interview.

Ultimately, the Atlantic didn't choose the Frankenstein photo, opting for a different cover shot, but Greenberg proudly displays the monster shot on her website and reportedly is hoping to license it to another magazine.

And look at this............................

Photo District News

After getting that shot, Greenberg asked McCain to “please come over here” for one more set-up before the 15-minute shoot was over. There, she had a beauty dish with a modeling light set up. “That’s what he thought he was being lit by,” Greenberg says. “But that wasn’t firing.”

What was firing was a strobe positioned below him, which cast the horror movie shadows across his face and on the wall right behind him. “He had no idea he was being lit from below,” Greenberg says. And his handlers didn’t seem to notice it either. “I guess they’re not very sophisticated,” she adds.

The Atlantic didn’t select the diabolical looking McCain for its cover.

Greenberg is hoping to license that image to some other magazine (she negotiated a two-week embargo with The Atlantic so she could re-license images from the shoot before the election).

Warned that the image is just the kind of thing that will stir up the anti-media vitriol in the conservative blogosphere, Greenberg said, “Good. I want to stir stuff up, but not to the point where I get audited if he becomes president.”

That said, she goes on to explain that she’s thought about replacing McCain’s mouth with bloody shark teeth and displaying the image on a billboard with the message that the candidate is a bloodthirsty war monger.

Given her strong feelings about John McCain, we asked whether she had any reservations about taking the assignment in the first place.

“I didn’t,” she says. “It’s definitely exciting to shoot someone who is in the limelight like that. I am a pretty hard core Democrat. Some of my artwork has been pretty anti-Bush, so maybe it was somewhat irresponsible for them [The Atlantic] to hire me.”

There are more photos at this LINK ....just scroll down, they enlarge when clicked on. Totally sick!!! She adds shark teeth and fake blood and another one of an ape going to the bathroom over McCain's head. disgusting!

Wild Thing's comment.........

It was impossible for Jill Greenburg to set aside her political fanaticism just long enough to be a professional photographer. It's one thing if she wants a photo to turn her political view on like many of us do with graphics and images all the time. It is another thing to be hired for a job and disrespect that job and the advertisers with the magazine in what she did.

Thank God she was not asked to take Sarah Palin's photo. I hate to think what she would do with that assignment.

At her site it was very weird. Why on earth would people want photos of crying babies. Adorable precious babies crying,. That is so horrible to me, to make a child cry like at anytime, and it appears she did it just for a phoptograph???? GRRRRRRRRRRRR

Charlie Gibson is the New Dan Rather

L.A. Times rebukes ABC for distorting Palin remarks

Charlie Gibson misquotes governor, assuming she saw U.S. in 'holy war'

WFAA Dallas / Fort Worth channel 8

The Los Angeles Times was among the news outlets crying foul after ABC's interview yesterday with Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, her first since Sen. John McCain named her his running mate.

The Times took Charlie Gibson to task for distorting statements Palin made about the Iraq war at her former Assemblies of God church in Wasilla, Alaska.

A well-circulated video shows Palin asking the congregation to pray that the nation's leaders would send troops to Iraq "on a task that is from God." But Gibson, apparently getting his information from an Associated Press story, frames the question with the assumption Palin is contending the U.S. was sending troops to Iraq on a mission from God.

"Are we fighting a holy war?" Gibson asked.

Palin disputed the characterization, pointing out she was paraphrasing Abraham Lincoln, who said, "Let us not pray that God is on our side in a war or any other time, but let us pray that we are on God’s side."

The Times said Gibson "went on to take a second part of her comments out of context. Palin had asked the group to pray 'that there is a plan, and that plan is God's plan.'"

But Gibson dropped her reference to praying, the Times said, and instead quoted Palin as saying the war was God's plan.

He asked if she believed the country was sending her son on a task from God.

"I don't know if the task is from God, Charlie," she responded, adding that she was proud of Track for "serving something greater than himself."

New York Times TV critic Alessandra Stanley said that during the interview, Gibson, who "sat back in his chair, impatiently wriggling his foot," had "the skeptical, annoyed tone of a university president who agrees to interview the daughter of a trustee but doesn’t believe she merits admission."

The McCain campaign also criticized ABC's characterization of Palin's statements.

"Gov. Palin's full statement was VERY different from the way Gibson characterized it," McCain spokesman Tucker Bounds said in a prepared statement.

"Gibson cut the quote — where she was clearly asking for the church TO PRAY THAT IT IS a task from God, not asserting that it is a task from God," he said.

"Palin's statement is an incredibly humble statement, a statement that this campaign stands by 100 percent, and a sentiment that any religious American will share," Bounds wrote.

Much was made by many pundits of Palin's apparent inability to recognize the term "Bush Doctrine."

But columnist Dan Froomkin of the Washington Post said he's "not sure anyone is entirely clear on what the Bush Doctrine is at this particular moment."

Mike Rappaport of the blog Right Coast called Gibson's approach "bad form and bad journalism," asking whether she agrees with the doctrine, without defining it. Rappaport pointed to Wikipedia's entry on the Bush Doctrine, which documents that it's a phrase associated with several different foreign policy positions and strategies.

For the rest of the article........... LINK HERE

Wild Thing's comment...........

Gibson should just admit he was acting as a surrogate for Obama. This is media bias at is worst! They tried hard to do a deliberate deception.

To their dissapointment I am sure they still failed at making Sarah look like an airhead. They failed at getting what they wanted... even in the edited interview she still came across as calm, likable and knowledgeable.

And this will not be the end of their dirty tricks. The debates are coming and the emphasis in the debates will be how to destroy McCain and Palin.

Obama is a total coward and so far will not meet McCain in a Townhall meeting. COWARD OBAMA!!!!!!!

If Republican candidates on any level continue to do taped interviews which I am totally against.......then Republican politicians need to go into these interviews with their own video crew. Even if it’s just an Aide with a video camera and they need to document every minute of it. Then when the press pulls this they need to release their own version of the interview. The press has gotten away with this stuff for too long.

Otherwise ONLY do LIVE interviews period!

ABC also not only edited the interview for content, but, they also blatantly edited the visuals by using using jump cuts.

I sent an email off and will put the LINK HERE in case anyone else would like to too.

The show I sent it to was 20/20

....Thank you Mark for sending this to me.

Palin Power Comes to Big D ~ Oct. 3rd

Sarah Palin to visit Dallas on Oct. 3

Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin is scheduled to visit Dallas on Oct. 3 for a fundraiser and possibly a public rally.

Since becoming the Republican nominee for vice president, Ms. Palin has electrified the GOP base and helped John McCain surge in the polls. Local Republicans on Thursday were ecstatic that she’s coming to town.

“It’s a huge opportunity for Palin to be introduced to the people of Dallas who have seen her on television,” said Jonathan Neerman, chairman of the Dallas County Republican Party.

Ms. Palin will participate in a lunchtime fundraiser at the Fairmont Hotel. Tickets will cost $1,000 a plate. The top level being asked for host committee is about $57,000.

The money is being raised for the Republican National Committee.

Mr. McCain has opted for public financing for the general election campaign and does not have to raise campaign funds.

Mr. Neerman said he would try to get Ms. Palin to attend a separate event to introduce her to county Republicans who are not donors.

“We want her to do something with our grass-roots activists,” he said.

The Oct. 3 event, which will be one day after the vice presidential debate, would be Ms. Palin’s first trip to Texas since attending a Republican Governors Association meeting in Grapevine last April.

This has a tiny bit more information:

Palin to Stomp in Dallas at October Fundraiser

MY Fox Dallas Fort Worth

The Dallas Morning News reported in its online edition Thursday the Alaska governor will attend a lunchtime fundraiser at the Fairmont Hotel on Oct. 3, a day after the vice presidential debate.

The fundraiser benefits the Republican National Committee.

Jonathan Neerman, chairman of the Dallas County Republican Party, said it's a huge opportunity for Palin to be introduced to the people of Dallas.

Neerman hopes he can get Palin to attend a separate event for county Republicans who are not donors.

It will be her first Texas trip since she attended a Republican Governors Association meeting in Grapevine last Ap

Wild Thing's comment.........

Fingers are crossed here they do the grass-roots rally too, that would be sooo awesome! If they do, ( and my guess is they will ) they would have such a huge rally in that area.

I lived in Dallas for 5 years and that is where I met Bob Hope. So Dallas will always hold a very special place in my heart and all the other things I loved about Texas.

Obama Put On Hot Seat After Girl Scout Troop Told NO

A penny saved is another penny wasted by the O campaign ...what a total waste this bs was that wanna be god like Obama insisted on having for his sick speech

Obama campaign patches up goof with Naperville Girl Scouts

Can ALSO be seen at Obama's website

After some prodding, staff donates items for 2nd-graders' political lesson

Jon Yates | What's Your Problem?
September 10, 2008

Michelle Walsh wanted to teach her 2nd-grade Girl Scout troop about the presidential election.

What the Naperville mother got was a lesson about the rough-and-tumble world of political finances.

Walsh said she called both campaigns and asked for free trinkets she could give the 7-year-olds to help them learn. If they did well, she explained, each Scout would earn her "Ms. President" patch. The tchotchkes would provide added incentive.

A representative for John McCain responded immediately, sending Walsh a box filled with stickers and signs.

The Barack Obama camp wasn't quite so generous, Walsh said.

The troop leader said she called Obama's Chicago campaign headquarters and explained why she needed the curios. Walsh said she was directed to Obama's Web site—where she could buy all the buttons and posters she wanted.

On the Web, a packet of 50 stickers that say "Obama '08" goes for $5; a yard sign is $8. "Got Hope?" bumper stickers are $3 each, or two for $5.

Walsh found the prices a bit exorbitant her small group.

She said she asked Obama's campaign worker again if she could get a few items for free. She pointed out that McCain's camp had agreed to send a box and, well, her 12-member Scout troop runs on a very small budget.

Walsh said the woman at Obama's headquarters put her on hold. After a few minutes, she returned with the same answer. The woman told her that she sympathized, but the Obama campaign needs every penny it can get, Walsh said.

"She said, 'We're up against the machine and we just can't hand anything out for free,' " Walsh said. "She was very nice . . . but I wasn't getting anything."

The woman then directed Walsh to another spot on Obama's Web site where she could print out pages for the girls to color on, she said.

Instead, Walsh e-mailed What's Your Problem?

"I was very surprised," Walsh said. "I thought this was a no-brainer. Especially since McCain's camp responded without a thought."

How, Walsh wondered, could a campaign that has raised roughly $400 million be so stingy?

Walsh said she was determined to remain impartial. "My whole point was I did get something from McCain. I can't even hand out the McCain items without something from the Obama side as well," she said.

The Problem Solver called Obama spokesman Justin DeJong.

Within days, an Obama employee personally delivered Walsh a box of pins, magnets and bracelets with the slogans "Hope" and "Obama."

DeJong said that whoever took Walsh's call at the campaign headquarters misspoke.

"Each day, we go out of our way to accommodate requests for signs, stickers and other items," DeJong said. "We're unsure who took Ms. Walsh's call."

The spokesman said Obama's Illinois campaign staff has also offered to meet with the Girl Scout troop to talk to them about the importance of the election.

Walsh said she declined the invitation because she would then feel obligated to bring in someone from McCain's campaign as well. That seemed a tad much for 7-year-olds, she said.

Included with the box of trinkets Obama's campaign gave Walsh was a letter from Obama wishing the girls good luck working on their "Ms. President" patches.

The woman who delivered the materials to Walsh's house was extremely nice, Walsh said.

Still, Walsh questioned why Obama's campaign didn't just send the materials when she first asked.

"I thought it was a little ridiculous," Walsh said. "I guess I don't understand what the problem was."

Wild Thing's comment..........

"DeJong said that whoever took Walsh's call at the campaign headquarters misspoke."

Is it only me or is anyone else sick of the new llingo of the use of the word "misspoke". WTF

Let's see how about this.......I HATE the left..... oh dear I must have ( holding my fingers in the air as quotation marks ) "misspoke " ........I mean I find they are not on my A list of people I like and want to dine with.

sheesh!

The truth is they got caught! hahaha

Proof Obama Does Not Honor Free Speech

Media takes a hit from Obama - Silencing the Loyal Americans

Obama states that Washington doesn't listen to the people but then turns around and censors out the voices of Americans on his Youtube account that don't praise him or serve his race card.

Wild Thing's comment..........

It is one thing to have a blog as a private citizen and need to censor spam comments. It is another thing to be a Presidential candidate and not allow the American people to leave a commnet, ask a question, rant or cheer at one of the Candidates sites.

Very tellling! B. Hussein Obama will ONLY allow the kiss up''s to leave a comment.

Listen up America this is a good example of what would be in the future for American citizens if this man of low class, void of character is voted in as President.

OBAMA ‘08 - LIARS AND KNAVES

NRO
Jonah Goldberg

The day after 9/11, as part of its "get tough" makeover, the Obama campaign is mocking John McCain for not using a computer, without caring why he doesn't use a computer. From the AP story about the computer illiterate ad:

"Our economy wouldn't survive without the Internet, and cyber-security continues to represent one our most serious national security threats," [Obama spokesman Dan] Pfeiffer said. "It's extraordinary that someone who wants to be our president and our commander in chief doesn't know how to send an e-mail."

I guess it depends on what you mean by "extraordinary." The reason he doesn't send email is that he can't use a keyboard because of the relentless beatings he received from the Viet Cong in service to our country. From the Boston Globe (March 4, 2000):

McCain gets emotional at the mention of military families needing food stamps or veterans lacking health care. The outrage comes from inside: McCain's severe war injuries prevent him from combing his hair, typing on a keyboard, or tying his shoes. Friends marvel at McCain's encyclopedic knowledge of sports. He's an avid fan - Ted Williams is his hero - but he can't raise his arm above his shoulder to throw a baseball.

In a similar vein I guess it's an outrage that the blind governor of New York David Patterson doesn't know how to drive a car. After all, transportation issues are pretty important. How dare he serve as governor while being ignorant of what it's like to navigate New York's highways.

Update:

From Forbes, and Ace of Spades

In certain ways, McCain was a natural Web candidate. Chairman of the Senate Telecommunications Subcommittee and regarded as the U.S. Senate's savviest technologist, McCain is an inveterate devotee of email. His nightly ritual is to read his email together with his wife, Cindy. The injuries he incurred as a Vietnam POW make it painful for McCain to type. Instead, he dictates responses that his wife types on a laptop. "She's a whiz on the keyboard, and I'm so laborious," McCain admits.

Wild Thing's comment.........

ssssssssSSSSSSSSS S S S S L A M

That is the sound of Obama's campaign hitting the windshield of the StraightTalkExpress.

What a colossal backfire for the Obama camp!

While HO-bama is renting football stadiums and handing out free beer, McCain has been dissecting him with sharp witty internet ads! Much of this campaign has been fought on YouTube, Bar-ack... And guess what? That old geezer you deride for not being able to send an e-mail has been kicking your tail all over not just YouTube, but cyberspace in general. Givce it up, Zero!

In one week Obama has managed to alienate half the women in America with his lipstick on a pig comment and now he is taking a shot at a war hero's disabilities.

The Obamanation is out of touch with the Internet function we call “google”. Ha! PRICELESS!!!

This insulting ad pretty much puts a fork in Obama’s vapid campaign. Obama is Insulting a disabled POW war Veteran and Veterans and servicemen and servicewomen of this country!!!!

Remember when the dems made fun of Dole holding a pen in the hand and arm he cannot use because of his war injuries?

I swear the left comes from a place beneath hell, that even hell is too good for them.

This ad serves to illuminate the state of the Obama campaign. They are falling apart at the seams.

The left has no class at all, none. They are violent, mean and cruel and could care less about out military and our Veterans.

Gov.Sarah Palin Interview with Liberal Charlie Gibson Parts 1 and 2

Sarah Palin Interview with Charlie Gibson Part 1 of 2

Sarah Palin Interview with Charlie Gibson Part 2 of 2

Palin had a very brilliant answer when responding to Gibson's charge that she thinks the Iraq war is God's plan. She said:

"The reference there is a repeat of Abraham Lincoln's words when he said -- first, he suggested never presume to know what God's will is, and I would never presume to know God's will or to speak God's words.
But what Abraham Lincoln had said, and that's a repeat in my comments, was let us not pray that God is on our side in a war or any other time, but let us pray that we are on God's side.

That's what that comment was all about, Charlie."

Lou Dobbs on how Sarah Palin did: " I think Joe Biden better start hitting the books"

Wild Thing's comment............

Sarah Palin came across as smart, courageous, sophisticated, competent, prepared, and savvy.

Gibson came across as a Democrat Party partisan hack and a very ugly, nasty one at that.

Sarah Palin stood her ground. She did not allow this man to bully her--though he was trying to do so.

Sarah handled herself beautifully.

Charlie Gibson did not. Sarah Palin was authentic and real.

Charlie Gibson, on the other hand, blew his chance to have a meaningful interview and to explore who this woman is. It was nothing but a string of mostly meaningless 'gotcha' questions - all of which Sarah handled quite well.

Gibson is an elitist and he spent the whole interview looking down his nose and patronizing her.

What foreign policy experience does the Muslim Messiah have and why haven’t these slimeball reporters asked him those questions.???? IMO, Charlie Gibson is a biased horrible person who is showing his true Liberal colors! I’m disgusted by all these slimes. None of these buffoons are questioning the “community organizer’s” experience.

Charlie just didn't seem to get it. Terrorists bad, Charlie, once again, terrorists are bad. Those who fight terrorists and evil are GOOD. Did you need to ask Charlie or did you really not know?

You could see by her body language and the way she squinted her eyes that she was on to Gibson re the “gotcha” kind of questions. Sarah did not seem to let Gibson intimidate her. She sidestepped each and every one while wearing that smile on her face. You could see it in her eyes that she knew that he was trying to set her up and cause her to make a sound bite gaffe. It didn’t work out.

I think she did a great job.

Bottom line this was not an interview it was an interrogation!

This interview is supposed to air ABC Evening News, 20/20 on Friday ( tonight)

Just one more thing , this interview was done on the very day that Sarah and Todd's son was deployed. So adding that too to how she handled herself, it tells me Sarah can handle stress under pressure when it calls for being present and accounted for. FANTASTIC!

The following GOVERNORS have been elected PRESIDENT:

Thomas Jefferson
James Monroe
Martin Van Buren
Grover Cleveland
Theodore Roosevelt
Franklin Delano Roosevelt
James Polk
Andrew Johnson
Rutherford B Hayes
William McKinley
Woodrow Wilson
Calvin Coolidge
James Earl Carter

Charlie Gibson Past Interview Of B.Hussein Obama

Just to show the difference in how Gibson did his interview with Sarah Palin and how he did his interview with B. Hussein Obama. Careful Charlie your treatment of women is showing and it isn't pretty. Add in to that I guess Charlie can go pick up his good Commrade medal now from the communist/ socialist Democrat party any time now.

OH Charlie you are just soooo obvious! This video is a perfect example of a double standard....the tone...the attitude....Charlie’s smiles....body language.

Gov. Sarah Palin Son Track to Deploy To Iraq

Now 19, Private First Class Palin enlisted last year and is assigned to the 1st Stryker Brigade's Delta company. That's in Palin's home state. The Army says his being posted there was luck of the draw.

1st Stryker Brigade Combat Team

“He’s just like any other infantry soldier here,” said Army Col. Burt Thompson, who heads the 1st Stryker Brigade Combat Team at Fort Wainwright, Alaska. “He tries to remain as anonymous as he possibly can.”

In military parlance, Palin is a “dismount.” He and other soldiers operate armored vehicles called Strykers. Their job is to ensure brigade commanders and their communications remain protected as they move around the country. The Stryker is an eight-wheeled truck that weighs 19 tons. “They’re the secret service for the brigade commander,” said brigade spokesman Maj. Chris Hyde.

Republican vice presidential candidate, Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, is escorted by Col. Edward Daly, deputy commander of the U.S. Army in Alaska, after she spoke to the troops and families during a deployment ceremony for the 1st Stryker Brigade Combat Team, 25th Infantry Division at Fort Wainwright in Fairbanks, Alaska Thursday, Sept. 11, 2008. Palin's son Track Palin is a member of the brigade being deployed to Iraq.

911 - Ground Zero tribute - Sen. McCain vs. HUSSEIN Obama

Wild Thing's comment...........

The differences between McCain and Obama at ground zero marking the 7th anniversary of 911.

Obama threw his flowers into the reflecting pool and both John and Cindy McCain respectfully placed their bouquets.

McCain was accompanied by his charming wife, Cindy.

I also noticed that afterwards as the two were glad-handing the crowd, McCain talked to both the cops and the second liners in the crowd . One of the police or firemen not sure which gave a pin to John and Cindy and pined the pin on each of them. Many of the first liners pulled McCain close and whispered something in his ear. There was NO pin given to Obama and I am glad. With the comments he made after 911 the day after it happened I would not give him a pin either if I was a policeman or a firefighter.

There was also Obama’s rude behavior toward 3 of the 4 people who were standing in a receiving line. While Senator McCain and his wife and the mayor was greeting the 4 people and shaking their hands, Obama spent a lot of time speaking with the first woman; he gave her a pat or a nudge on the shoulder, as if in support.

And then he completely ignored the remaining 3 people: a woman, a man in a firefighters hat/cap, and a workman in a hardhat. They were standing there, expecting to shake his hand as he walked past them, but and he made an obvious detour to avoid them. It didn’t appear to be that he even made eye contact.

It was very embarrassing to watch.

Obama hasn’t the slightest idea of proper courtesy or protocol. He is a jerk.

The graciousness of both John and Cindy is in stark to Barack Hussein Obama. He needs to get some coaching from his left wing liberal friends. And the realness of the Mccains shaking hands, engaging the folks on the sidelines just proves the point again olf why John and Cindy belong in the White House and NOT the trashing America Obama couple.

McCain always looks people in the eye to speak with them and has that look of interest in what they are talking about. I notcied Obama does not, he does not have that look of really listening only the how do I respond to this next look instead.

Obama isnt worthy of shining John McCain’s shoes! and that is just a true fact! John must be ready to throw up having to deal with the POS! Obama must NOT BE ELECTED!

Obama was in NY since yesterday, and appeared on Letterman last night. This morning John McCain was in Shanksville, Pa. and spoke at the memorial. And what did Obama do? He met Bill Clinton for lunch at his Harlem’s office to plan campaign strategy. He spent more time with Bill Clinton working out campaign plans, than he did at Ground Zero. My take on him is that all the time he was there, he was thinking about getting it over with so he could move on to more important things. He wasn't very reverent, and acted flippant, like it was an inconvenience for him to be there...preoccupied.

Why am I making a big deal about the flower being thrown? Because everything matters......everything when a person is a public figure, when a person is running for President of our United States of America! Everything.

McCain is physically disabled to a certain degree, and yet he made every attempt to lean down as best he could and with shoulders not allowing much movement at all he reaches out to carefully and respectfully lay the flower down.

Obama who is NOT disabled in any way except his BRAIN made his choice to throw the flower like one would do if tossing a pebble in a pond or lake. That would not be bad except this was about showing respect and his actions simply did not.

If the media is going to give Obama a free pass as they have been doing on all things Obama then by God I will make sure I point the things out he does that should be brought to the front.

Obama should have organized a community ETIQUETTE class!

From Obama's book , "Audacity of Hope" : ’I will stand with the Muslims should the political winds shift in an ugly direction."

God is in the details.

Michelle Obama Missing From 9/11 Commemoration Ceremony In New York

Why Wasn't Michelle Obama at the 9/11 Ceremony?

Barack Hussein Obama was without his wife Michelle at the 9/11 commemoration ceremony yesterday in New York City.

Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., was accompanied by his wife Cindy.

Where was Michelle?

Wild Thing's comment..........

The Obama campaign responded that Michelle was back in Chicago with her daughters Malia, 10, and Sasha, 7, since this is the first week of school.

I feel if her husband is running for President her place is next to him especially on something like this. They could afford someone to be with the children for a day when they got home from school.

I mean, here she is with this controversy surounding her comment “For the first time in my life I am proud to be an American...” and now she is conspicuously absent from the 9/11 memorial ceremony?

It makes you wonder what she was feeling on the morning of 9/12/01? Was she proud to be an American that day? And if so, where is she today?

I think people would have wanted to see her being proud to be an American at Ground Zero today. At best a lost opportunity in my opinion...at worst, something far darker.

Cindy McCain Takes The Wheel In Her Own Race

Jack McCain, left, shown with his father, John, this past December, helped get his mother, Cindy, involved in drift racing.

Cindy McCain takes the wheel in her own race

ESPN sports special

There is also a VIDEO AT THIS LINK ........just CLICK TO SEE VIDEO

Cindy McCain doesn't remember all the details. It might have been six years ago. Maybe seven. But this much, at least, McCain recalls with perfect clarity: She was watching television with her oldest son, Jack, when footage flashed across the screen of race cars skidding sideways as though they were on ice.

Looks kind of cool, McCain thought to herself, but how'd they do that?

Drift racing, or "drifting," refers to a style of racing in which a driver intentionally skids the back of a car through turns, as shown in this 2006 drifting exhibition at the Toyota Grand Prix on the streets of Long Beach, Calif.

For most people, the curiosity probably would have ended there. But McCain, the wife of the Republican nominee for president, Sen. John McCain, is anything but ordinary. Although a wide swath of the public views her as reserved and distant, she is actually quite the opposite in private. When Cindy McCain, 54, encounters something that intrigues her, she embraces it with the zeal of a toddler on Christmas Eve.

And so McCain began to learn as much as possible about this mysterious driving technique. It turned out it was called drifting and had origins tracing back to the mountains of central Japan in the early 1990s. Months after first seeing drifting on television, McCain traveled to Japan with Jack, now a senior at the Naval Academy and an avid fan of motorsports, to take drifting lessons with a top instructor.

"I love it," McCain said, though she described herself as a below-average drifter. "I'm probably a little too cautious with it because it is abnormal from what you're taught when you're taught to drive. You're taught to keep control of your car. Everything you were taught in driver's ed, forget. That's what drifting is about."

For people who have never seen it, drifting occurs when a driver intentionally skids a car sideways through a turn on a road or a marked course, usually at speeds that exceed the legal limit. It's known among pockets of auto-racing enthusiasts in about 15 countries, and to anyone who has seen the movie "The Fast and The Furious: Tokyo Drift."

The difference between driving and drifting through a turn is dramatic. When a car on a highway approaches a sharp left turn at, say, 75 mph, the driver slows down and turns the wheel to the left.

"But that's not what happens in drifting," said Justin Gardiner, a British journalist who covers the auto industry from Japan and has drifted numerous times. "First, a drifter must have a powerful rear-wheel-drive car, something like a Corvette. When they head into a left turn, they pull the wheel sharply to the left and mash the accelerator, which would get the back end of the car to slide out. Then they quickly turn the steering wheel [all the way] to the right." With the wheels pointing to the right, the car then slides sideways through the left turn before proceeding normally again.

Some drifters employ the emergency brake; others rely more on the clutch. But every method requires lots of practice, not to mention a modicum of chutzpah.

When told that McCain was into drifting, Gardiner was speechless for a few moments. "It's … absolutely … incredulous," he said. "If you look at Sen. McCain, he looks like the archetypal grandfather. And to find out that his missus is into drifting is, frankly, astounding."

Here's another fact many might find surprising: Cindy McCain, an heiress to a multimillion-dollar fortune, has had a passion for racing nearly her entire life.

Her father, the late James Hensley, was known for founding one of the largest Anheuser-Busch distributors in the United States. But he also loved cars and first took McCain, raised as an only child, to the Indy 500 when she was about 12 years old. That inspired her in high school, when she took a class in auto mechanics and regularly attended drag races with friends.

"I'm a gearhead," McCain said with a smile in an interview last month in Phoenix.

McCain's love of sports carried into adulthood. In 1986, six years after marrying John McCain, she got a pilot's license and bought a small plane so she could fly him around Arizona in his first U.S. Senate race, which ended in victory. She owns a small percentage of the Arizona Diamondbacks, finished a half-marathon in 2005, regularly attends NASCAR races, and participates in water sports with her husband, who is 72, and the four children they have together.

"She has a spirit that's very difficult to keep down, and she's always looking for something new to do, something new to get into," said Jack, who generally doesn't speak to the media but recently granted "E:60" an exclusive interview. "And whatever it is, she always excels at it."

And what does John McCain think of his wife's passion for racing? "Oh, he loves it," Cindy McCain said. The McCain campaign, however, did not make the senator available for an interview.

In April 2004, just one day after returning home to Arizona after one of her many trips to Japan to drift with Jack, Cindy McCain's spirit was put to the test. She collapsed while having lunch with friends and couldn't talk or walk. At the age of 49, McCain had suffered a mild stroke and was hospitalized for four days.

Cindy McCain suffered a stroke in April 2004. After she left the Barrow Neurological Institute at St. Joseph's Hospital in Phoenix, she began a course of physical therapy.

Six weeks later, McCain was still limited physically and, she said, mired in depression. Jack knew exactly what type of therapy was needed. As a 50th-birthday gift, he bought her a four-day course to the Bob Bondurant School of High Performance Driving in Chandler, Ariz.

Driving? Six weeks after a stroke? McCain thought the idea was crazy.

"I don't think I can do this," she recalls telling Jack. "And he said, 'Mom, yes you can.'"

The course was called Executive Protection. Students learned to ram parked cars, perform 180-degree spins and handle perilous situations such as drive-by shootings and hijackings.

For McCain, the course offered all that and more. It helped restore her confidence and improve certain skills, such as coordination and concentration.

"I remember her wanting to build up that driving skill set again," said Danny Bullock, her instructor at Bondurant. "I think she was a little nervous that she wouldn't be able to react in time with the car if she needed to make a turn." He added: "She did exceptionally well."

In fact, McCain did so well that, a year later, in May 2005, she returned to Bondurant to hone her drifting skills. She and Jack then rebuilt a Nissan 240SX, installing a tricked-out engine and other parts conducive to drifting (the car is not street-legal). They even competed in amateur drift competitions in the U.S. as a mother-son tandem, finishing as high as second place.

Yes, drifting is more than just a driving technique. It has become a sport, albeit one on the fringe and not sanctioned by the FIA, the governing body for motorsports worldwide. A professional drifting circuit in Japan has existed since 2000. The governing body for drifting in the United States, Formula Drift, was formed in 2004. It hosts about 10 competitions a year, with winners receiving $5,000.

The competitions are held nationwide, but the sport is most popular in Southern California. Although drifting fans in this region relish the sport's cult status, Formula Drift now has a handful of recognizable sponsors, from Mazda to Circuit City to BF Goodrich. There are even technological signs of growth. Tens of millions of people have gone to YouTube to watch drifting. And gamers can drift from the comfort of their sofa using Nintendo's Wii steering wheel.

About 50 professional drifters are listed on Formula Drift's Web site, including Tanner Foust, who won a gold medal in rally car racing at the 2007 X Games. They compete, sometimes two at a time, on small, often curvy portions of standard racetracks. Winners are determined not by who finishes first but by who gets higher marks in a variety of categories, including form, speed and style. Judges seem to have a soft spot for screeching sounds and smoke from burning tires.

"We are kind of a hybrid between action sports and motorsports because drifting is the only motor sport in the world that's actually subjective," said Ryan Sage, a co-founder of Formula Drift. "It's not how you get from Point A to Point B, which most motorsport fans find difficult to swallow at first."

There are other obstacles that have prevented drifting from going mainstream. Amateur drifting has taken place on public roads, which is dangerous and harmful to the sport's image. According to Gardiner, the auto journalist, police in Japan have cracked down on reckless drifting, putting video cameras on notorious roads. Authorities in Saudi Arabia reportedly have installed speed bumps to discourage street drifters.

By all accounts, the best way for racing fans to explore drifting is to take lessons, then enter amateur competitions. McCain has done both. But what would happen if a drifter suddenly found herself living in the White House as first lady? Would she be able to maintain her penchant for drifting? It's a scenario most aficionados of the sport never imagined possible.

"Camp David's got a lot of space," McCain said, laughing. "The only thing I can say is that if we are lucky enough to be able to represent the United States of America, I'll do it the best I can. And I also want to have some fun, too."

Wild Thing's comment...........

I LOVE it this is awesome. This is so great Cindy and Sarah and how they do so many things. I just love it.

It is always so fantastic to see people do things they want to do if they possibly can . I know from experience it is always worth it, taking that dream and making it real. The main thing is never give up the dream .

....Thank you Tom for sending this to me.

McCain/Palin Rally in Fairfax, VA

OMG LOOK at this, Todd and Sarah's daughter Piper has a Fan Club. This is absolutely adorable!!!!!!!

More of the sweet children

This made me cry.....someone has a sgin for Track , Sarah and Todd's son that will be deployed today.

sources :
NRO

wizbang blog

The rally was held at Van Dyke Park in Fairfax, VA. Attendance, as at their other recent campaign stops, was massive and enthusiastic. Former Rep. Tom Davis, and Former Sen. Fred Thompson introduced them.

When McCain and running mate Sarah Palin appeared this morning at Van Dyck Park, in the city of Fairfax, Virginia, the people spilled out of the natural amphitheater, over the sides, out the back, and nearly all the way to the Old Lee Highway. The rally had originally been scheduled for Fairfax High School, but some school board members objected. With controversy brewing, the McCain campaign moved the event to the park. It was a good idea; the high school facility could handle 6,500 people, which would have been a huge crowd in pre-Palin days. But today, the school wouldn’t have been nearly big enough. After the rally, McCain officials told me 23,000 people had been there.

Everybody else seemed to think the same thing. I approached a woman named Carolyn, from Arlington, who told me she helped found the Independent Women’s Forum several years ago. “I am so proud of what she represents,” Carolyn said of Palin. “I wish my friend Barbara Olson were here to see this, because she would be thrilled. This is an incredible moment.”

NOTE from Wild Thing....Barbara Olson was killed in Flight 93 on 9-11

Carolyn’s friend, Colette, was standing nearby, nodding. “I’ve been a member of Feminists for Life for 25 years,” she told me. “I am the mother of seven, including twins — six girls — and I am just so proud today for all women. Sarah Palin is showing that a certain segment does not speak for women, that we have something else to say.”

With an audience primed like that, it almost didn’t matter what Palin said. When she appeared onstage, dressed in black, the crowd whooped it up with chants of SAR-AH! SAR-AH! SAR-AH! It wasn’t quite as loud as the O-BA-MA! chants two weeks ago at Denver’s Invesco Field, but it was pretty big. When Palin reached the microphone, she hit all of the main points from her speech at last week’s convention. And while her performance was a little rote, she seemed to put something extra into the section of her speech devoted to energy. She clearly knows a lot about the oil and gas business, and it shows when she speaks. Whatever the other hoopla about McCain’s choice of Palin, the fact is, in the midst of an election dominated by concerns about energy, he picked someone with real knowledge of energy. Not a bad idea.

As for McCain himself, he does appear to be jazzed by the Palin pandemonium that he has set off. When he began to speak, he got right into it: “My friends, the Commonwealth of Virginia is a battleground state, and we must win it,” he said. “We will win it.” When McCain is feeling good on the stump, there’s none of that weak, sing-song delivery that creeps into his big speeches. Here in Fairfax, he was making his points quickly and clearly.

And this........................

Overflow crowd, scattered over a plane the size of a football field, with hills surrounding it and packed with people. I’d put it closer to 30,000 people, none with seats. Young, old, newborn babies, ladies with walkers, veterans, Hillary-types, and a smattering of Obama lunatics across the street.

Cindy McCain in a green dress, John McCain was filled with energy and all smiles , a sporty looking Todd Palin and THE star of the show, Governor Palin, who was radiant and sophisticated in a black dress and gold broach. She is stunningly beautiful in person, and the crowd hung on her every word.

There was a massive bottleneck to exit Van Dyke Park, but timing is everything. As we reached Old Lee Highway, the secret service stopped traffic and here came the motorcade. Two or three SUV’s with real serious looking secret service, and suddenly, the Straight Talk Express bus emerged.

When it got about thirty feet from our curb, it suddenly stopped and McCain got out and shook hands. I couldn’t believe my fortune. I didn’t get close enough, but he got back in and stood in the sunlight through the windshield, both he and Cindy waving to the raptuous street scene.

Wild Thing's comment.........

Thank you God! There is so much joy and happiness and confidence too. And yesss hope for America the best country in the entire world.

God bless our troops and Sarah and John and their families.

Does anybody else notice the contrast between the people you see at McCain/Palin rallies and the ones for Obama?

I see smiling, happy and energetic people at McCain/Palin rallies.

Whereas, the Obama's crowds look like they could have been background extras in “One Flew Over The Cuckoo’s Nest.” They look miserable and if they aren't before his rallies they would have to be when he is done talking to them or Michellle is done talking to them how horrible America is and how they can't do anything without the government helping them.

McCain vs.Obama on TAXES ~ How Do They Compare

2008 PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE COMPARISON

BY THE FACTS!

There is no opinion or propaganda here.... the following information is purely factual.

CAPITAL GAINS TAX

MCCAIN

0% on home sales up to $500,000 per home
(couples). McCain does not propose any change in existing home sales income tax.

OBAMA

28% on profit from ALL home sales.
How does this affect you? If you sell your home and make a profit, you will pay 28% of your gain on taxes. If you are heading toward retirement and would like to down-size your home or move into a retirement community, 28% of the money you make from your home will go to taxes.

This proposal will adversely affect the elderly who are counting on the income from their homes as part of their retirement income.)

DIVIDEND TAX

MCCAIN

15% (no change)

OBAMA

39.6% - (How will this affect you?

If you have any money invested in stock market, IRA, mutual funds, college funds, life insurance, retirement accounts, or anything that pays or reinvests dividends, you will now be paying nearly 40% of the money earned on taxes if Obama becomes president.

The experts predict that 'Higher tax rates on dividends and capital gains would crash the stock market, yet do
absolutely nothing to cut the deficit.')

INCOME TAX

MCCAIN

(no changes)
Single making 30K - tax $4,100
Single making 50K - tax $8,845
Single making 75K - tax $15,094
Married making 60K- tax $8,198
Married making 75K - tax $11,438
Married making 125K - tax $23,938

OBAMA

(reversion to pre-Bush tax cuts)
Single making 30K - tax $8,400
Single making 50K - tax $14,000
Single making 75K - tax $23,250
Married making 60K - tax $16,800
Married making 75K - tax $21,000
Married making 125K - tax $38,750
Under Obama, your taxes could almost
double!

INHERITANCE TAX

MCCAIN

0% (No change, Bush repealed this tax)

OBAMA

Restore the inheritance tax
Many families have lost businesses, farms, ranches, and homes that have been in their families for generations because they could not afford the inheritance tax. Those willing their assets to loved ones will only lose them to these taxes.

NEW TAXES PROPOSED BY OBAMA

New government taxes proposed on homes that are more than 2400 square feet. New gasoline taxes (as if gas weren't high enough already) New taxes on natural resources consumption (heating gas, water, electricity)

New taxes on retirement accounts, and last but not least....New taxes to pay for socialized medicine so we can receive the same level of medical care as other third-world countries!!!

Tax Policy Center

2008 Presidential Candidates' Tax Proposals

Regarding a comparison of Obama and McCain tax proposals, the Chicago Sun-Times put together its figures in June, 2008.

By their estimates, for example, a person with taxable income of $19,000 or less would pay $597 less under Obama and $19 less under McCain.

A person with taxable income of $19,000 to $38,000 per year would pay $892 less under Obama's plan and $113 less under McCain's.

A person with taxable income between $112,000 and $227,000 would pay $2,300 less under Obama and $3,200 less under McCain.

A person with taxable income of $227,000 would pay $23,000 more under Obama and $15,000 less under McCain.

INHERITANCE TAX
The eRumor says that the inheritance tax was repealed under George W. Bush, which is not true, although there have been numerous attempts to repeal it.

According to the Chicago Sun-Times article, McCain would seek to lower the inheritance tax while Obama would raise it on estates more than $3.5 million.

Obama wants to stick It to the rich and take big portions out of things he shouldn’t have his paws on. The Tax Policy Center “estimates the Obama plan would cut taxes by $2.9 trillion from 2009-2018. McCain would reduce taxes by nearly $4.2 trillion. Obama would give larger tax cuts to low- and moderate-income households and pay some of the cost by raising taxes on high-income taxpayers. In contrast, McCain would cut taxes across the board and give the biggest cuts to the highest-income households.”

Biden: Clinton would have been a better VP

OOPS! Biden might be sorry he said this! I don't know for sure if he was kidding or not. But if we go by his past gaffe's I would say it is for real and not a joke.

Sometimes thinking out loud while giving a speech may not be such a good idea if one is a total idiot. LOL

McCain / Palin Campaign Stop at Lancaster, PA

Traffic heading to Franklin and Marshall College on the Harrisburg Pike is backed up almost to U.S. Route 30.

Outside, long lines wrap around the Alumni Sports and Fitness Center Field House waiting to go through the security screenings required for entry into the event.

Sources:

Pittsburgh Tribune Review

Penn Live.com

and Google, Yahoo and Reuters sites for photos
and additional notes from news sources

LANCASTER, PA.

It's official, Sen. John McCain's crowds are now Obama-sized.

The event was sold out with 7,500 tickets distributed within 48 hours. According to a Pennsylvania State trooper, they have an over-flow section in the parking lot for an expected 4,000 more.

Karen Miller, 50, of Lancaster, was in line with her husband, Tom. A registered Democrat, she voted for Sen. Hillary Clinton in the Pennsylvania primaries.

"Palin is a strong woman going after the big boys in Washington" said Miller, "she has made the McCain ticket a powerful one and one of reform."

Husband Tom, 54, said he didn't need Palin to persuade him. He was already on board with McCain after Hillary lost: "McCain is not afraid to buck the Republican Party he belongs to, he belongs to the people."

Three hours before the event was to begin, the line of cars stretched over a mile from the exit off of the Lincoln Highway to the event site at Franklin and Marshal College. A line a few thousand deep wrapped it's way around F&M college.

Supporters of Republican vice presidential candidate, Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, hold up campaign signs of her as ' Rosie the Riveter' as they wait in line to see Republican presidential candidate Sen., John McCain, R-Ariz., and Palin, Tuesday, Sept. 9, 2008, at a campaign rally at Franklin & Marshall College in Lancaster, Pa

Amish are usually apolitical, but this election is special and my thinking is they are very aware of the kind of person McCain and Palin are running against. And also the kind of person especially that Sarah and McCain are with their stance on abortion too. The Amish were big supporters of Dubya in 04. I think the presence of Sarah Palin on the ticket will bring out millions of deeply religious people who might otherwise have stayed home. People that believe in religious freedom, family, and moral values.

Huge American flag with lights reflecting on and behind it. Also music played setting the mood perfectly.

Matt Goss Band playing "Raisin' McCain."

Also on hand for entertainment are the band and cheerleaders from nearby Hempfield High School.

There were women that that wore pink "Hot Chicks Vote Republican" buttons; one hoisted a McCain placard bearing a hand-scrawled message: "Guns, God, Lipstick."

McCain-Palin enthusiasts begin filling the floor of Franklin & Marshall's Alumni Sports and Fitness Center Field House prior to this afternoon's Republican rally in Lancaster.

Photo of the bitter,religious, gun clinging people in Pennsylvania..... take that Obama freakazoid!

With electricity in the air of excitment and the audience like a roar........ Palin and McCain were introduced.......

"Ladies and Gentlemen, please welcome the next President and Vice President of the United States!’

A local minister who asked the crowd to pray for President Bush, Vice President Cheney, the Republican candidates and U.S. troops. Conspicuously absent from the prayer requests were Obama and his running mate, Sen. Joe Biden.

The biggest cheers have come each time Palin's name is mentioned, underscoring her popularity with the Republican base.

The Hempfield cheerleaders took the stage a few minutes ago to lead the crowd in a cheer of "When I say John, You say McCain" and "When I say victory, you say now."

Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, center with her husband Todd Palin, reacts to cheers from supporters during a campaign rally at Franklin & Marshall College in Lancaster, Pa.

McCain stepped up to the microphone and said:

‘I am privileged to have been introduced to you by Sarah Palin. But I am looking forward even more to introducing Sarah Palin to Washington D.C.’

… at which point seven thousand south-central Pennsylvanians lost their composure, and the cheers and applause were (literally) deafening. Once the din subsided, a powerful chant of ‘Sa-rah! Sa-rah! Sa-rah!’ filled the hall.

Palin's speech is long on praise for McCain the veteran and former prisoner of war, and short on policy. Speaking with McCain beside her, flanked by her husband, the "First Dude" Todd Palin, the vice presidential nominee praises McCain's "determination, resolve and sheer guts," reminding the crowd several times of McCain's military record, because "he won't say it on his own behalf."

"There is only one man in this election who has fought for this country," she said.

Palin also seeks to reinforce McCain's image as a maverick and an agent of change, saying the senator, who has been in Washington since he was elected to Congress in 1982, "doesn't run with the Washington herd. He's willing to shake things up."

Several lines of her speech were familiar to those who watched her acceptance speech at last week's GOP convention

"We prefer candidates who don't talk about us one way in Lancaster and another way in San Francisco," she said, subbing Lancaster for Scranton in her referring to Obama's oft-quoted comments about bitter voters clinging to guns and religion.

"There are candidates who use change to promote their careers and those like John McCain, who use their careers to promote change," she said.

McCain got big cheers at all the expected places -- "Drill here, drill now"; "I would rather lose a political campaign than see America lose a war"; "All you ever ask of government is to stand on your side, not in your way."

But without a doubt, the biggest reaction came when he told the crowd, "I can't wait to introduce (Palin) to Washington." That brought a thunderous ovation, followed by a loud chant of "Sarah, Sarah, Sarah."

McCain proclaimed the surge in Iraq a success, promised to drill offshore and to build nuclear power plants, pledged to reach across the aisle to get things done and promise to veto pork-barrel spending.

McCain spoke and shook hands outside, Palin and her husband signed autographs and posed for photos with supporters inside, who pressed against the barriers on the floor to try to get closer.

Palin also made a stop at the outside overflow area to shake hands and sign autographs.

Wild Thing's comment.............

It is reported that more than a thousand were turned away.

This is an absolute political Tsunami that is going to engulf and wash away the Obama presidency aspirations.

I caught a shot of McCain about a month ago from the side and thought he looked old and tired and kind of hunched. It surprised me because looking at him straight on you get a different impression. But ever since he made the Palin announcement he seems to be reborn. He looks healthy and energized and more than ready to take on Obama!

McCain’s choice of Sarah Palin and the manner in which he has conducted himself since he chose her speaks so highly of his character as a leader. Good leaders want other leaders around them, and are not threatened by the abilities of those leaders. McCain is energized by Sarah Palin’s leadership abilities, and it shows.

On the other hand, petty tyrants are petrified of the abilities of others, and so the character of B. Hussein Obama is seen in his choice of VP candidates. He could never chose a running mate who might steal any of his limelight.

They also made a special place along the railing in the front for those in wheelchairs and there were a lot of Veternas there wearing VFW hats adorned with a buttons and medals. I could not find any photos of this but one of the write ups online mentioned this and it touched my heart, because they thought of everything for the crowd attending the rally.

I got this below late in the evening after the rally, from one of Nicholas's cousins that lives in Maryland. It is from a frieind of his he works with and I thought you might like to see it too.

"Got to tell you my story. Sunday I got an email from the McCain camp about the rally in Lancaster. I immediately got on the horn with my friend and asked if she wanted to go. YES!!! was the answer, so we zipped up to Gettysburg to get tickets for us and another friend.
This is the first political rally for any of us, and that is something since I am 72 and my younger friends are in their 60's.

Well,we can't go to any more rallies since this one was perfect. We got there at 10:30 and found a spot right near the building. We got in line with great people: registered Democrats, and women holding the "Rosie the Riveter" pic. Media were everywhere, we got to speak to Molly H from Fox.

We were allowed in the building at 12:30 and found places right in front of the Speakers stand. We got great pictures, got to shake John's, Sarah's and Todd's hands, and got my "Sarah for VP" button signed by Sarah.

My friends and family are so excited for me. Such a fantastic day, great excited crowd. great people.

Something we both noticed too, Johon McCain has a genuine respect and admiration in which he appears to hold Sarah Palin. It was extraordinarily obvious today on the speakers' platform.

And I know it isn't important, but Sarah is more beautiful in person than on TV. Molly H from Fox is a tiny little thing. And I tell you, John McCain was fantastic and looked great.. Can you tell I'm pumped!

GREAT Story! Family With Down Syndrome Child Meets John McCain And Sarah Palin

BEGIN TRANSCRIPT

RUSH: Kurt in Pittsburgh, hello, sir. Nice to have you on the EIB Network, and how about the Steelers defense?

CALLER: How about those Steelers, huh?

RUSH: How about that?

CALLER: Hey, listen, Rush, long-time listener, first-time caller, one of those Bible, family, gun clingers from western Pennsylvania.

RUSH: Thank you.

CALLER: And I wanted to share a story with you. A week ago last Saturday we went to the Palin-McCain rally in Washington, Pennsylvania, was the day after he announced her, and we have a five-year-old daughter with Down syndrome, and we made a sign that said: "We Love Kids with Down Syndrome." So when they pulled in their bus the sign did catch their, McCain and Palin and the rest of their family, it caught their eye, we could tell, they gave us a thumbs-up from the bus, so we were all excited just by that --

RUSH: Wait, wait, wait. Who gave you the thumbs up, McCain and Palin?

CALLER: McCain, Palin, Cindy McCain, we could see them from the bus. We were in a position where we had eye contact with them --

RUSH: Oh, cool!

CALLER: My wife was holding our daughter.

RUSH: Very, very, very cool.

CALLER: It was really cool, Rush. I was like, "Wow, that's awesome," because I love Governor Palin and so I thought that's really neat. So then we moved around as the bus was getting ready to pull out, we kind of positioned ourselves so we could just wave them on and a Secret Service agent came up to us and said, "Hey, can you come with us?" I was like, "Do we have a choice?"

RUSH: (laughing) You shouldn't have worried. It's not the Clinton administration.

CALLER: Right. So we accompanied them up the hill, we went right to the bus, where it was, and Governor Palin, Senator McCain, Cindy, Todd Palin, they're all standing there. We're in this inner circle with just us and them, and the Secret Service agent, and they came right up to us and thanked us for coming out, said they loved our sign, and Governor Palin immediately said, "May I hold your daughter?" and our daughter Chloe, who's five, went right to her, and I have some pictures I'd love to send you maybe when I'm done here, but Governor Palin was hugging Chloe, and then her little daughter brought their baby Trig who has Down syndrome from the bus, he was napping, and Chloe went right over and kissed him on the cheek, and my son Nolan who's nine, he thanked her.

RUSH: This is amazing.

CALLER: I will send you all the stuff, Senator McCain was talking to my son, and he thanked him for his service, and he asked my son if he wanted to see the bus, and we were hanging out and it was very surreal. I felt like we could have had a pizza and a beer with them, they were so warm.

RUSH: You know what? I want to put you on hold. I want Snerdley to give you our super-secret, known-only-to-three-people here, e-mail address.

CALLER: I will send you everything, Rush.

RUSH: And then could you send us these pictures? Would you mind if we put them on the website?

CALLER: I would be honored, and my main thing is they are warm, kind, genuine people, and they represent the best of this country.

RUSH: That's right. And when you send these pictures, make sure you identify them. I mean, we'll know Palin and McCain, of course. Identify yourselves.

CALLER: I will, I will identify everybody in the picture, Rush, and God bless you for being a beacon of hope and truth in this country.

RUSH: Oh, no, no. It's nothing, it's nothing. You're doing the Lord's work.

CALLER: Well, we're very blessed and I want people to know what a blessing it is to have a child with Down syndrome. These kids, they're angels.

RUSH: That's the thing. There's always good to be found in everything that happens. It may be a while before it reveals itself.

CALLER: Absolutely.

RUSH: Right, and when she hugged my daughter I said, here's the difference, this candidate embraces life and all it's limitless possibilities.

RUSH: All right.

CALLER: That's what she is.

RUSH: Terrific, okay, I gotta run here but I'm going to put you on hold.

CALLER: Thank you, Rush.

RUSH: Thank you, Kurt. I really appreciate it.

Wild Thing's comment..........

What a beautiful family Kurt has.

Beautiful, moving and very touching! That's what we need in this country more of. I'm proud of our ticket! And I am proud of Rush too.

I heard the caller today on Rush and was hoping to see the pictrues. Rush got right on it and his web guy. Rush always keeps his word and he love things from the heart like this too.

I have to say because it is so very true too. This is a nightmare scenario for libs. This is they type of child the work so hard to abort and Obama worked hard to re-abort, if the killing didn’t work the first time. And look at the McCain/Palin families taking them on and loving them.

This girl is adorable.

God bless all three of these families.

Joe Biden Latest Attacks On Sarah Palin

Joe Biden Attacks Sarah Palin on Abortion, Calls Her "Backwards Step for Women"

Washington, DC (LifeNews.com) -- In a potential preview of the lone debate between the vice-presidential hopefuls that will take place this fall, pro-abortion candidate Joe Biden is attacking Sarah Palin on abortion. In an interview, Biden said it would be a "backwards step for women" if Palin becomes the first female Vice President.

During a campaign stop in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, a local television reporter asked Biden, "Do you think, if she does win, that would be a step forward for women."

Biden, a Delaware senator who is Barack Obama's running mate, disagreed and pointed to Palin's pro-life views on abortion as the reason why.

"Well look, I think the issue is what does Sarah Palin think? What does she believe?" he said.

"I assume she thinks and agrees with the same [pro-life] policies that George Bush and John McCain think," Biden added. "And that's obviously a backward step for women."

Dorinda Bordlee, a prominent attorney who is the senior counsel of the Bioethics Defense Fund, told LifeNews.com she was flabbergasted by Biden's remarks.

She said she is not surprised that a man like Joe Biden, who has a long pro-abortion voting record, would attack Palin.

By saying pro-life policies are a "backward step for women," Biden is apparently "completely unaware of the mountain of evidence showing abortion's traumatic impact on women's physical and psychological health," she explained.

And this one............................

Joe Biden Slams Sarah Palin on Down Syndrome Son, Stem Cell Research

Lifenews.com

Joe Biden, Barack Obama's pro-abortion running mate, is coming under fire for comments he made today attacking vice-presidential candidate Sarah Palin. After attacking her on abortion, Biden then slammed Palin on the birth of her son, who has Down syndrome.

During her acceptance speech last week, Palin promised the parents of disabled children that she would be their advocate in the White House.

Biden questioned that commitment by attacking Palin's stance on the issue of embryonic stem cell research, which has never helped a single patient.

"I hear all this talk about how the Republicans are going to work in dealing with parents who have both the joy, because there's joy to it as well, the joy and the difficulty of raising a child who has a developmental disability, who were born with a birth defect,' Biden said.

"Well guess what folks? If you care about it, why don't you support stem cell research?" Biden asked, questioning Palin's commitment.

The McCain campaign released a statement to LifeNews.com on Tuesday responding to Biden's accusation and saying Biden's comments on stem cell research were "offensive."

"Barack Obama's running mate sunk to a new low today launching an offensive debate over who cares more about special needs children," McCain spokesman Ben Porritt said. "Playing politics with this issue is disturbing and indicative of a desperate campaign."

Marjorie Dannenfelser, the head of the Susan B. Anthony List, a pro-life women's group, also took strong exception to Biden's "caustic" comments.

"Biden outrageously implied that Americans who refuse to sacrifice innocent human life in the name of unproven, desperate attempts to cure our nation’s ills through embryo-destructive research somehow don't really care about children," she told LifeNews.com.

"I am a mother of five children, one with a mental disability. The fact that Joe Biden questioned the compassion of parents like me – Governor Sarah Palin, among them – makes me sputter in disbelief," she added.

Wild Thing's comment.........

Obama-bin-Biden are running against Motherhood, Apple Pie, love for special needs children, everything AMERICAN.

They are in full-bore self-destruct mode.

Barack HUSSEIN Obama Obsessed with Lipstick, Pigs and Fish

“You can put lipstick on a pig,” he said as the crowd cheered. “It’s still a pig.” “You can wrap an old fish in a piece of paper called change. It’s still gonna stink.”

Obama Says McCain Is Offering Fake Change: 'You Can Put Lipstick on a Pig, But It's Still a Pig'

LEBANON, Va.

"That's not change," Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill., said of what Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., is offering.

"You know, you can put lipstick on a pig," Obama said, "but it's still a pig."

The crowd rose and applauded, some of them no doubt thinking he may have been alluding to Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin's ad lib during her vice presidential nomination acceptance speech last week, "What's the difference between a hockey mom and a pit bull? Lipstick."

"You can wrap an old fish in a piece of paper called 'change,'" Obama continued, "it's still gonna stink after eight years.

"We’ve had enough of the same old thing! It’s time to bring about real change to Washington. And that’s the choice you’ve got in this election."

Obama added that "it is not going to be easy ... John McCain has a compelling biography, you know Sarah Palin is an interesting story."

The crowd booed.

"No, she’s new!" Obama said. "She hasn’t been on the scene, you know, she’s got five kids and my hat goes off to anybody who’s looking after five. I’ve got two and they tire Michelle and me out!"

Wild Thing's comment...........

Obama is a crass, crass man.

He's panicking at the poll numbers and the direct hits by McCain/Palin. If Obama were President, I honestly believe that he'd come unglued at the wrong time and we, as a country, would be in deep doodoo.

He is no man, he is a limp wristed coward that hides behind his race and he is going to find that his affirmative action is running out when November comes.

He does not belong in government on any level.

Obama to Palin: 'Don't Mock the Constitution'

Obama to Palin: 'Don't Mock the Constitution'

FARMINGTON HILLS, Mich.

Sen. Barack Obama delivered an impassioned defense of the Constitution and the rights of terrorism suspects tonight, striking back at one of the biggest applause lines in Republican vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin's speech to the GOP convention.

It was in St. Paul last week that Palin drew raucous cheers when she delivered this put-down of Obama:"Al-Qaeda terrorists still plot to inflict catastrophic harm on America and he's worried that someone won't read them their rights."

Obama had a few problems with that.

"First of all, you don't even get to read them their rights until you catch 'em," Obama said here, drawing laughs from 1,500 supporters in a high school gymnasium. "They should spend more time trying to catch Osama bin Laden and we can worry about the next steps later."

If the plotters of the Sept. 11 attacks are in the government's sights, Obama went on, they should be targeted and killed.

"My position has always been clear: If you've got a terrorist, take him out," Obama said. "Anybody who was involved in 9/11, take 'em out."

But Obama, who taught constitutional law at the University of Chicago for more than a decade, said captured suspects deserve to file writs of habeus corpus.

Calling it "the foundation of Anglo-American law," he said the principle "says very simply: If the government grabs you, then you have the right to at least ask, 'Why was I grabbed?' And say, 'Maybe you've got the wrong person.'"

The safeguard is essential, Obama continued, "because we don't always have the right person."

"We don't always catch the right person," he said. "We may think it's Mohammed the terrorist, but it might be Mohammed the cab driver. You might think it's Barack the bomb-thrower, but it might be Barack the guy running for president."

Obama turned back to Palin's comment, although he said he was not sure whether Palin or Rudy Giuliani said it.

"The reason that you have this principle is not to be soft on terrorism. It's because that's who we are. That's what we're protecting," Obama said, his voice growing louder and the crowd rising to its feet to cheer. "Don't mock the Constitution. Don't make fun of it. Don't suggest that it's not American to abide by what the founding fathers set up. It's worked pretty well for over 200 years."

He finished with a dismissive comment about his opponents.

"These people."

Wild Thing's comment.........

He is just breath-takingly stupid. These people are not covered under the constitution. The problem is the far left keeps trying to apply the constitution to any breathing person.

It was in St. Paul last week that Palin drew raucous cheers when she delivered this put-down of Obama: "Al-Qaeda terrorists still plot to inflict catastrophic harm on America and he's worried that someone won't read them their rights."

Nope. The Washington Post misquotes Governor Palin. That wasn't a statement, it was a question. It read: "It was in St. Paul last week that Palin drew raucous cheers when she delivered this put-down of Obama: "Al-Qaeda terrorists still plot to inflict catastrophic harm on America and he's worried that someone won't read them their rights?"

Mocking the constitution? When I ask did liberals ever care about that? They don’t just mock it they systematically try to go around and undermine it by whatever means possible.

Terrorists should have no “rights” under the Constitution because they are foreign, non-combatants and thus should not be afforded the same protection as U.S. citizens.

Get this too, regarding Obama's two rallies in in the same day.1500 people , 250 people earlier today. That’s two rallies in MICHIGAN of all places, and Obama pulls in less than 2000 people.

John McCain is a political genius (what did Rush call him...”McGenius.”) He has the Democratic Presidential nominee on the defensive, but not against the Republican Presidential nominee, but against the VP candidate. Doesn’t Obama get the fact that this diminishes his so called “political stature.” Why does it take Hillary, Biden, and Obama to all face off Sarah Palin??? heh heh

The Founding Fathers of the United States of America DID NOT WRITE the U.S. Constitution for a bunch of Islamofascists killing Americans and trying to destroy OUR country! If Obama had spent more time in the United States and less time in Indonesia, who would know that.

The guy is a walking contradiction. On the one hand he says, "Take them out" which, by his standard, would be violating the terrorists habeus corpus "rights" and then on the other hand, if you don't kill them but catch them, they are to be considered innocent until proven guilty. That is if we kill them they were guilty but if captured they are innocent until proven guilty. Of course Obama ignores the legal reality that illegal combatants that wear no uniform and belong to no national government are not to be given the same rights under the Geneva Convention that identified members of a military force of a recognized nation are to be afforded.

This guy is flailing around without any use of logic. Obama is, himself, a walking, breathing affront to the Constitution. His view that federal judges are there to do whatever they think is right, rather than to understand and apply the Constitution, is an assault on the very concept of having a written Constitution.

Obama is also trying to stifle free speech by trying to get the justice department to go after The American Issue Project for running a Ayers add.

Sarah Palin and Interview Planned To Be Done By ABC's Charles Gibson

McCain plans new Palin rollout

Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin will speak at her son’s Army deployment ceremony on 9/11 and spend two days with ABC News crews later this week as part of a McCain campaign plan to increase Americans’ comfort with her as a leader.

Campaign and network officials had said on Sunday that her first television interview would be a sit-down with Charles Gibson of ABC’s “World News.”

But it turns out that she is spending much of Thursday and Friday with Gibson — at the ceremony in Fairbanks, Alaska, and at her home in Wasilla, Alaska.

Campaign aides said the anchorman will get extensive, repeated access to Palin throughout her first trip home since becoming the nominee.

“ABC News will have plenty of time to question her and examine her and spend time with her,” a campaign official said. “They’ll do multiple interviews over two days. No topics are off-limits – there are no ground rules. There’s tons of time to talk to her about every topic.”

The remarkable rollout reflects new confidence in Palin by her handlers, who initially had suggested it would be a while before she did interviews. Now, there will be several.

Until now, Palin has been "sequestered," as Sen. Joseph Biden (Del.), her Democratic counterpart, put it on NBC's "Meet the Press" — delivering rousing speeches, but not giving interviews or holding news conferences or answering questions on the fly. She was the only one of the four national candidates not to appear on a Sunday show this weekend.

“Once you start, you don’t stop,” a Republican official said with a chuckle. “That doesn’t mean you run the faucet on high. But once you turn it on, you don’t really ever turn it off.”

The official said Gibson will have the chance to “speak to her on 9/11 about her ideas for keeping America safe in the future; to speak to her as she goes back to Wasilla, where she grew up, about her life and her views and her vision for the country.”

Two interviews with Gibson are planned for Thursday, including a conversation about her support for a natural-gas pipeline – a key applause line in her convention speech. Then on Friday, Palin will talk to Gibson in Wasilla and Anchorage, the official said. She will fly into Anchorage and then drive to Wasilla.

Palin riveted last week’s Republican National Convention with a witty, rousing speech, and has injected huge excitement into the party’s ticket in the 10 days since Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) named her as his surprise pick for running mate.

“People don’t understand how to cover women politicians in a way that is completely fair and enlightened yet,” the official said. “And somehow, she has managed to transcend that.”

Wild Thing's comment..........

Sarah was a point guard , which means she does even better when the pressure is on.

When she gave her speech at the convention, the teleprompter was not working so she had to wing a lot of her speech and it was marvelous. Sarah is a person who is comfortable in her own skin. I have total confdidence in her for this interview or any interview and any debates as well.

Muslim Lover Obama: Terror groups have 'legitimate claims'

Obama: Terror groups have 'legitimate claims'

Asserts U.S. needs foreign policy that 'looks at the root causes of problems'

http://www.yale.edu/lawweb/avalon/mideast/hamas.htm

JERUSALEM

The Hamas and Hezbollah terrorist organizations have "legitimate claims" that are being "weakened" by the violence the terror groups carry out, Sen. Barack Obama recently stated in largely unnoticed remarks in the New York Times.

Speaking in May with columnist David Brooks, Obama said the U.S. needs a foreign policy that "looks at the root causes of problems and dangers."

The presidential candidate compared Hezbollah to Hamas, stating they both need to be compelled to understand that "they're going down a blind alley with violence that weakens their legitimate claims."

Brooks was speaking to Obama for clarification on an earlier statement the Illinois senator made implying Lebanese militias should be tempered with enticements.

Regarding Hezbollah, Obama earlier declared:

"It's time to engage in diplomatic efforts to help build a new Lebanese consensus that focuses on electoral reform, an end to the current corrupt patronage system, and the development of the economy that provides for a fair distribution of services, opportunities and employment."

Brooks took issue with that statement, writing it has the "whiff" of "appeasement."

Is Obama naïve enough to think that an extremist ideological organization like Hezbollah can be mollified with a less corrupt patronage system and some electoral reform?" asked Brooks, who said he called Obama today to clarify his remarks.

Obama immediately affirmed Hezbollah is "not a legitimate political party." Instead, "It's a destabilizing organization by any common-sense standard. This wouldn’t happen without the support of Iran and Syria."

He continued by stating Hamas and Hezbollah violence weakens the groups' "legitimate claims."

Hamas' official charter calls for the murder of Jews and destruction of the Jewish state. It also calls for Muslims to "pursue the cause of the Movement (Hamas), all over the globe."

~ snip ~

Obama previously was embroiled in controversy regarding Hamas after Ahmed Yousuf, the terror group's chief political adviser in the Gaza Strip, said in an interview in April with WND and with WABC radio that he "hopes" Obama becomes president.

"We like Mr. Obama, and we hope that he will win the elections," said Yousef. "I hope Mr. Obama and the Democrats will change the political discourse. ... I do believe [Obama] is like John Kennedy, a great man with a great principal. And he has a vision to change America to make it in a position to lead the world community, but not with humiliation and arrogance," Yousef said, speaking from Gaza.

If your opponents are looking for your destruction it's hard to sit across the table from them," but, he continued: "There are rarely purely ideological movements out there. We can encourage actors to think in practical and not ideological terms. We can strengthen those elements that are making practical calculations."

Obama's comments about "legitimate causes" of terror groups and "root problems of causes and dangers" seems to echo little-noticed remarks the presidential candidate made eight days after 9/11 in which he said the attacks were carried out because of a lack of "empathy" for others' suffering on the part of al-Qaida, whose terrorist ideology "grows out of a climate of poverty and ignorance, helplessness and despair."

Obama went on to imply the Sept. 11 attacks were, in part, a result of U.S. policy, lecturing the American military to minimize civilian casualties in the Middle East and urging action opposing "bigotry or discrimination directed against neighbors and friends of Middle-Eastern descent."

"Even as I hope for some measure of peace and comfort to the bereaved families, I must also hope that we, as a nation, draw some measure of wisdom from this tragedy," Obama wrote in a piece about 9/11 published Sept. 19, 2001, in Chicago's Hyde Park Herald.

~ snip ~

"We must also engage, however, in the more difficult task of understanding the sources of such madness. The essence of this tragedy, it seems to me, derives from a fundamental absence of empathy on the part of the attackers: an inability to imagine, or connect with, the humanity or suffering of others. Such a failure of empathy, such numbness to the pain of a child or the desperation of a parent is not innate; nor, history tells us, is it unique to a particular culture, religion or ethnicity. It may find expression in a particular brand of violence, it may be channeled by particular demagogues or fanatics.

"Most often, though, it grows out a climate of poverty and ignorance, helplessness and despair.

"We will have to make sure, despite our rage, that any U.S. military action takes into account the lives of innocent civilians abroad. We will have to be unwavering in opposing bigotry or discrimination directed against neighbors and friends of Middle-Eastern descent. Finally, we will have to devote far more attention to the monumental task of raising the hopes and prospects of embittered children across the globe – children not just in the Middle East, but also in Africa, Asia, Eastern Europe and within our own shores," he wrote.

Wild Thing's comment..........

Obama is just a stupid as every other leftist who thinks all terrorist groups really want is a group hug. BUT the difference is HE is the one running for President,

He continued by stating Hamas and Hezbollah violence weakens the groups' "legitimate claims."

The following are some of their “legitimate claims”, right out of the Hamas Charter, visible in all its glorious splendor at this link.

“Israel will exist and will continue to exist until Islam will obliterate it, just as it obliterated others before it.”

“There is no solution for the Palestinian question except through Jihad. Initiatives, proposals and international conferences are all a waste of time and vain endeavors.”

Hamas, Hezbullah et al. are salivating at the feast they see before them if Hussein Obama is elected.

Code Pink founder Jodie Evans, one of Obama's top 500 fundraisers, known to Obama by her first name, recently said in an interview that Osama bin Laden had valid reasons to attack the USA on 911, citing the presence of US bases in Saudi Arabia.

How about we send Obama to the Hamas, Hezbullah and he can be their Community Organizer.

Hillary's Visit To Tampa, Fl. She Refuses To Criticize Palin

Sen. Hillary Clinton greets supporters after speaking during a "Change We Can Believe In" rally Monday in Tampa.

In Tampa Visit, Clinton Refuses To Criticize Palin

The Tampa Tribune

In her first appearance in Tampa since losing the Democratic presidential nomination, Hillary Rodham Clinton strongly endorsed Barack Obama Monday, but refused to criticize the newer woman on the presidential campaign scene, Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin.

"Barack and I may have started on two separate paths, but we are on one journey now," Clinton said.

She reprised lines from her speech at the Democratic National Convention two weeks ago saying, in effect, that anyone who supported her ought to support him.

Referring to her 35 years working in politics and public policy issues, she said, "I haven't done that to see us squander this opportunity. This is bigger than any one person – it's way bigger than Barack and me."

Clinton spoke to a crowd estimated by organizers at about 2,300 at the All People's Life Center in East Tampa.

Several times, she declined to discuss Palin, chosen by John McCain as his running mate, who has been criticized as lacking experience. Instead, she shifted the discussion to differences between Republicans and Democrats and the errors she said Republicans including President Bush have made during the past eight years.

When an audience member shouted out during her speech, "Tell us about Palin," she responded, "I don't think that's what this election is about,"

"This election is about the differences between us and the Republican Party. Anybody who believes that the Republicans, whoever they are, can fix the mess they created, probably believes that the iceberg could have saved the Titanic."

Asked by reporters after her speech whether she considers Palin qualified to be president, she again declined to answer directly.

"I'm going to stay focused on the issues and I'm going to keep talking about the issues because I think that's what matters to the American people," she said.

She added that having Palin on the ticket is "a great milestone for our nation."

"The Democrats did it in 1984; it took a while but the Republicans got around to doing it this year," she said. But, she added, "That's not the determinant as to who should be our president."

But Clinton also couldn't help referring to her own quest for the nomination, and to the fact that Florida was one of her strongholds.

When an audience member shouted, "I love you Hillary," she responded, "I love you too -- I especially love Tampa and Hillsborough County for supporting me in the primary."

Cindy Bauer, a lifelong Democrat from Tampa, said she was "very disappointed" by Clinton's loss. "It took a few days, but I got over it. … There's too much at stake for the future of our country," she said.

Bauer said McCain's choice of Sarah Palin only solidified her decision to support Obama. "Anyone who tells me that I shouldn't get an abortion if I choose to, that's it," she said.

But not all Democratic women who supported Clinton have boarded the bandwagon.

Julie Harris, a longtime local Democratic Party activist who worked in Clinton's campaign, wasn't at the rally, but said in an interview Monday she's backing McCain

Clinton, however, said she's not concerned that significant numbers of her backers won't get behind Obama.

Wild Thing's comment......

It looks like Hillary is just going through the motions of demonstrating party loyalty.

Bauer said McCain's choice of Sarah Palin only solidified her decision to support Obama. "Anyone who tells me that I shouldn't get an abortion if I choose to, that's it," she said.

Abortion, abortion, abortion. Is killing babies all these "women" care about?

Hillary just doing her job, Obama can't ask for more. He really should be doing his own campaigning.

The One Who Didn’t Get The Vetting Right Was Soros ~ Obama’s Muslim Past Dogs Campaign

He trys to correct himself via Stephanopolous’s suggestion, but he didn’t say “muslim connections”, he said, “my muslim faith”. Very much “possessive”.

This is a longer version that I posted yesterday, a better one that starts off with his complaining about McCain and right off the bat Stephanopolous’s corrects Obama that the McCain campaign has never said anything about it. LOL Obama caught in another lie. If Stephanopolous’s had not corrected Obama it would have stood as fact what he said about the McCain/Palin campaign. -- Wild Thing

Obama’s Muslim Past Dogs Campaign

newsmax

Democratic presidential nominee Barack Obama has launched a tirade against John McCain, claiming he and his campaign are behind reports tying him to the Muslim faith.

Obama, a committed Christian today,was born to the Muslim faith and raised as a Muslim in his early youth, though he did not actively practice his religion.

Obama began his broadside last Friday at a campaign stop in Scranton, Pa.

"When they say this isn't about issues, it's about personalities, what they're really saying is, 'We're going to try to scare people about Barack. So we're going to say that, you know, maybe he's got Muslim connections, or we're going to say that, you know, he hangs out with radicals, or he's not patriotic,'" Obama told his audience.

McCain’s campaign chairman quickly responded to Obama, calling his comment "a cynical attempt to play the victim."

On Sunday, Obama again tried to connect McCain to questions being raised about his faith.

"These guys love to throw rocks and hide their hand," Obama said on ABC's "This Week."

He then claimed McCain's campaign is working behind the scenes, saying the Islamic talk is "being promulgated on Fox News ... and Republican commentators who are closely allied to these folks."

"What I think is fair to say is that coming out of the Republican camp there have been efforts to suggest that perhaps I'm not who I say I am when it comes to my faith," Obama said, which he described as "my Muslim faith" in apparent verbal gaffe.

Obama's campaign clearly is concerned about the persistent discussion of matters involving him and Islam, and it even has paid search ads on Google when words like "Obama Muslim" are plugged in. One Obama search ad is headlined "Barack Obama Muslim Myth" with the following statement: "Barack Obama is a Christian. Get the facts at his official site. BarackObama.com."

Obama's media offensive over the Muslim issue suggests he wants any discussion of his religious past taken off the table as the campaign enters its most heated period after the convention.

Obama's Ties to Islam

Obama's ties to Islam are hereditary. His father was a Muslim, though Obama claims he was nonpracticing. According to Islamic law, Obama was born a Muslim, as religion is passed paternally. (Judaism, for example, passes religious identification maternally.)
Apparently in deference to his father, his full name, Barack Hussein Obama, is an Arabic name. The name Barack is a derivation of "Barak" -- the horse that took the prophet Muhammad on his flight into heaven.

Though Obama’s biological father disappeared from his son’s life soon after he was born and returned to his native Kenya, he was raised by his Kansas-born mother and her second husband, an Indonesian who was also a Muslim.

Obama has described his mother as a Christian, but Newsweek recently noted she had eschewed her parents’ faith in favor of secular humanism.

Obama’s mother and her Indonesian husband moved with young Barack from Hawaii to Jakarta, Indonesia’s capital, in 1967. Obama lived there from ages 6 to 10.

Reports dating back as far as early 2007 held that Obama was educated at a radical Islamic school in Indonesia. Such reports are false. He never attended such a school.

In fact, Obama first attended a Catholic school for almost three years. However, his mother registered him in the school as a Muslim. As such, he was required to spending time each week praying with Muslim students and studying the Koran.

In the wake of the controversy over Obama's Muslim upbringing, The Los Angeles Times sent a reporter to Jakarta to ferret out the truth.

The Times report, published on March 16, 2008, revealed:

A close boyhood friend of Obama, Zulfin Adi, said Obama "was a Muslim. He went to the mosque."

Obama's first-grade teacher at a Catholic school, Israella Dharmawan, said: "Barry (Barack's nickname) was Muslim. He was registered as a Muslim because his father was Muslim."

In the third grade, Obama transferred to a public school, where he was also registered as a Muslim. At the school, Muslim students attended weekly religion lessons about Islam.

Some of these details have been confirmed by Obama himself. In his autobiography, "Dreams From My Father," Obama mentions studying the Koran and describes the public school as "a Muslim school."

Going by what Obama calls a right winger........Someone better tell FightTheSmears.com that Libyan leader Mu'ammar al-Qadhafi is a 'right-winger'
Qadhafi goes on to mention that Obama should be proud of his African, Muslim dentity.

Earlier this year, Obama spokesman Robert Gibbs claimed: "Senator Obama has never been a Muslim, was not raised a Muslim, and is a committed Christian."

His campaign Web site hosts a page titled "Fight the Smears" -- which is dedicated to fighting what his campaign says are false claims about Obama and Islam.

The web page states categorically: "Senator Obama has never been a Muslim, was not raised as a Muslim, and is a committed Christian."

But the facts suggest that his campaign's statements are not exactly true.

Middle East Forum director Daniel Pipes wrote on FrontPageMag.com that his research led him to conclude that "Obama was born a Muslim to a nonpracticing Muslim father and for some years had a reasonably Muslim upbringing under the auspices of his Indonesian stepfather."

After The Los Angeles Times conducted its own investigation, Gibbs amended his previous statement on behalf of Obama, telling the Times: "Obama has never been a practicing Muslim," the key word being "practicing."

The Times and other outlets that have reviewed the facts relating to Obama's upbringing as a Muslim have come under withering criticism from Obama and groups that support him.

But Pipes insists the facts are indisputable, with several pro-Obama sources confirming his ties to Islam though downplaying the intensity of his faith.

“The campaign appears to be either ignorant or fabricating when it states that ‘Obama never prayed in a mosque,’" Pipes argues.

"In sum: Obama was an irregularly practicing Muslim who rarely or occasionally prayed with his stepfather in a mosque," Pipes writes on his blog DanielPipes.org. "This precisely substantiates my statement that he 'for some years had a reasonably Muslim upbringing under the auspices of his Indonesian stepfather.'"

Indisputable also is the fact that Obama says in the early 1990s he converted to Christianity after attending services at Chicago’s Trinity United Church, whose pastor was the Rev. Jeremiah Wright Jr.

Obama’s campaign is clearly worried that his ties to Islam could become a major problem for swing voters.

Wild Thing's comment........

Did I mention that his middle name is HUSSEIN. But you’re not supposed to mention that, so I won’t.

"The name Barack is a derivation of "Barak" -- the horse that took the prophet Muhammad on his flight into heaven."

Listen, my children,
And you shall hear
Of the man, Barack,
A horse's rear...

Seven of 8 of Obama’s great-grandparents were muslim. When Barak (real spelling) went to school in Indonesia his mother registered him as a muslim and the school required all muslim’s to go to prayers and study the Koran at least once a week.

Barak (real spelling) himself speaks of changing his religion to Christianity approximately 20 years ago. Barak is 46 or 47 years old so for the first 26 or 27 years of his life he was not a Christian.

He was born and raised as muslim. Barak may have not practiced his muslim faith often when he became a young man, but he certainly didn’t formally renounce it either until he started attending Rev. Wright’s church at any rate.

I am just as concerned about his Marxist connections as I am his Muslim connections.

In 1997, Obama sponsored a bill in Illinois for setting aside an Islamic Day and requiring Islamic food inspections:

It did not pass:

90th General Assembly Summary of SR0110
Senate Sponsors: Obama
Short description: 11/1/97-ISLAMIC DAY
Synopsis of Bill as introduced: Declares November 1, 1997 to be South Shore Islamic Day.

What does one do on "Islamic Day" anyway? Blow up buildings?

And anolther bill:

Also Obama sponsored Illinois Senate Bill 750 creating the "Halal Food Act," providing for inspections by the Department of Agriculture to REQUIRE that all food labeled Halal is prepared according to Islamic law.
"Halal Food Act"

In his book he said he would stand with the Muslims if the political winds shifted.

Hey Hillary, leave the gun, take the canolies ~ Obama and Bill Clinton to Hold Summit

Here's what the meeting will look like between the Clinton Crime Family and the Chicago Syndicate.

Obama and Bill Clinton to Hold Summit

http://www.lgbtforobama.com/701

Senator Barack Obama and former President Bill Clinton plan to meet for lunch on Thursday at Mr. Clinton’s offices in Harlem, their first extended face-to-face encounter after more than a year of tense relations, aides said Sunday.

The current plan is for Mr. Obama and Mr. Clinton to have lunch at the Clinton Foundation headquarters on West 125th Street in Harlem with one close aide each. There have been discussions about the men possibly then doing a walking tour of the neighborhood, but that has not been settled.

Thursday is the seventh anniversary of the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks and Mr. Obama will be in New York for a memorial ceremony at Ground Zero that morning with his Republican presidential rival, Senator John McCain, an event that both candidates say is intended to be non-political.

When Mr. Clinton learned that Mr. Obama would be in New York on Thursday for two appearances, he invited him to lunch at the foundation offices, aides said.

The terms of the Clinton-Obama meeting have been negotiated warily for weeks through a veil of mutual suspicion. Mr. Clinton has felt for months that Mr. Obama has not paid him the proper respect as a former president and many close to Mr. Obama believe that Mr. Clinton dealt dismissively with him during the campaign.

The icebreaker may well have been Mr. Clinton’s effusive speech at the Democratic National Convention, in which he – for the first time – declared Mr. Obama fit to be president. During the long primary season, Mr. Clinton, speaking on behalf of his wife, Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton, repeatedly questioned Mr. Obama’s experience and qualifications for the presidency.

In his convention speech, however, Mr. Clinton heaped praise on Mr. Obama, the new leader of the Democratic Party, and promised to do everything he could to get him elected. He acknowledged with a smile, however, that he would have preferred that Mrs. Clinton were preparing to accept the nomination.

Mr. Clinton and Mr. Obama have spoken several times on the telephone since Mr. Obama nailed down the nomination in early June, but aides described those conversations as generally businesslike, even at times frosty.

The two men spoke the Friday before the Democratic convention about Mr. Clinton’s speech and the campaign ahead, but there was no resolution of several issues, including the Obama campaign’s desire to see a copy of Mr. Clinton’s speech well in advance of its delivery the following Wednesday. Mr. Clinton did not share a draft of his speech until a couple hours of before taking to the podium in Denver.

Mr. Clinton has privately complained that Mr. Obama has courted major figures in the Democratic Party, including Senator Edward M. Kennedy, New Mexico Governor Bill Richardson and former North Carolina Senator John Edwards, while making little effort to seek Mr. Clinton’s support or guidance.

But aides said that both men are now focused intently on the fall election and have put aside whatever resentments or rivalry they may feel.

The lunch will be private and it is not known whether Mr. Clinton and Mr. Obama will have any statement afterward. But Mr. Obama and Mr. McCain have agreed to suspend all negative advertising aimed at each other on Sept. 11 and it seemed unlikely that Mr. Obama and Mr. Clinton would use their meeting for overtly partisan purposes that day.

Wild Thing's comment.........

The Clintons must be loving every minute of Obama crawling on his belly to them, kissing up for their support now.

What will be their price? Will Bill Clinton tell Obama to put some ice on it?

I think Bill Clinton will hate Obama with the heat of a thousand suns forever and ever. There is nothing Obama can do now to change that.

I’ve been watching the talking heads and everytime someone brings up the pumas they get shot down and the pumas are dismissed. If I were them watching, I’d be getting ticked - first dismissed by Obama and now laughed at and dismissed by the media.

B. Hussein and the DNC hierarchy stole the nomination from their Hillary. And they are mad as heck and they’re NOT backing down. 30% of Hillary’s 18 million voters say they’re voting for McCain.

McCain/Palin Speak at Huge Rally in Colorado Springs, Colorado

From a friend that was there.....

" Chrissie, We got up at 6am, drove to the event before 7:30am. The line of cars went back for 2 miles in 4 directions. We had to walk 25 minutes to the line. The line was 2 miles long. I have been to KISS concerts and The Who which were shorter lines. It took over an hour to get to the event in the line. Finally we got inside around 9:45am, and we were FAR in the back of the large crowd. The count of tickets for the event EXCEEDED FIFTEEN THOUSAND!! And people were still trying to get tickets and get inside around 11am while the local candidates were speaking. Finally, they just began to let anyone in, even if they did not have a ticket. These photos do NOT do justice, as you cannot really judge the depth or width of the hanger space."

McCain - Palin Rally in Colorado Springs, Colorado

Rally today in Colorado Springs, Colorado. The rally will began at 11:00 AM local Mountain time.

Here are my notes from the Rally.............................

Retired U.S. Army nurse Anne Lucas holds a shirt reading "Pitbulls for Palin" at a campaign rally with U.S. Republican presidential nominee Senator John McCain (R-AZ) and Republican vice-presidential nominee Alaska Governor Sarah Palin in Colorado Springs, Colorado September 6, 2008.

Cheerleaders from local schools leading crowd in chants...Blue red and White...Fight Mccain Fight

Campaign staff say more than 10,000 people are expected to crowd into and overflow out of an airplane hangar at the Colorado Springs airport. They began lining up as early as 5:30 a.m., even though doors for the event didn’t open until 9 a.m.

Palin is scheduled to start speaking at 12:30 p.m., followed by McCain.

By the time doors did open, traffic jammed for miles around the airport and the line of people waiting to get in wound for several hundred yards around large hangars.

“We wanted to be here for this memorable day,” explained Patricia Strawser, who left her Denver house with her husband, Tom, at 5 a.m.

They arrived at the airport at 6 a.m. and found 50 people already in line ahead of them.

“I’ve never done anything like this before,” said Tom Strawser, who wore a cowboy hat adorned with little American flags. “Nothing.”

The crowd was made up of both veterans of political rallies and first-timers.

The reporters on earlier said there were far more people trying to get in to the event than they had room for. The crowd was estimated at more than 11,000.

They passed out the flags that the Dems just decided they would throw away - veterans passing out the flags to the crowd. OMG I love this!

They announced that they are distributing flags that were thrown away at the DNC. The man speaking named a man who had rescued the flags. He apologized that there were many flags that were unsaveable, but they saved what they could.

The discarded flags now waving proudly!!!!!!!!!!!! They were really waving when Lee Greenwood's song "I'm proud to be an American" was sung.

I have goosebumps and tears watching this.

McCain was criticizing Carter’s decision to ban the reprocessing of nuclear fuel and said there is now a pro-American President of France “which just proves if you live long enough anything is possible!”

Talking about Obama not voting to condemn General Betray Us ad! Good job, Mac.

Palin is adding new material into every speech. There were two new sections today. That’s smart. Repetition is how people learn. They must keep drilling many of the same points home in every speech, and mix in a few new sections with each event. The lines she is delivering are so good, and delivered so well, people look forward to hearing her say them even if they’ve seen them on TV before.

Fox News reporting that Obama camp states that flags were stolen. Obama is such a jerk.

UPDATE this evening about this rallly:
The Colorado Springs Police Department declined to provide an estimate of the crowd size, but a campaign spokesman, Tom Kise, said 13,000 had gone through security checks.

Michelle Obama Disses Palin and Promises Gay Adoption rights

Michelle Obama disses Palin, promises gay adoption rights

hollywood

While Sarah Palin was speaking to the Republican National Convention Wednesday night, Michelle Obama was hitting two Hollywood fundraisers, giving subtly different messages to different audiences.

Patrick Range McDonald of LA Weekly, who covered the events as the designated pool reporter. Here's his description of the first stop of the night:

Dressed in a purple tank top with a purple floral skirt and black high heels, Obama first addressed a largely gay and lesbian audience at the home of Bryan Lourd, managing partner of Creative Artists Agency (CAA), and Bruce Bozzi, Lourd's companion.

The event was described by the Obama campaign as an "LGBT Reception." Approximately 300 donors attended the fund raiser, which took place in the wealthy, Los Angeles neighborhood of Holmby Hills. Minimum contribution for a guest was $1,000 to get through the door. Supporters who raised $25,000 were given access to a VIP room, where Obama met with them and briefly spoke. All money went to the Obama Victory Fund.

Speaking at the fundraiser, Mrs. Obama insinuated that she doesn't think Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin is very bright:

Obama then moved on to politics, where she first brought up her husband's vice-presidential choice.

"I think it was a really good pick--Senator Joe Biden," she said, and later added, "People say they have amazing chemistry, and it's true."

Obama continued with talk about Biden when she said, "What you learn about Barack from his choice is that he's not afraid of smart people." The crowd softly chuckled.

Later, she spoke about gay rights:

Mindful of the audience in front of her, she then touched up gay and lesbian issues. "In a world as it should be," Obama said, "we repeal laws like DOMA (the Defense of Marriage Act) and 'Don't Ask, Don't Tell.'" She also said an Obama Administration would "recognize" gay adoption rights. Both lines received loud applause. Later that evening she spoke at a fundraiser at the home of Samuel L. Jackson:

Located in the gated community of Beverly Park Estates South in the city of Beverly Hills, approximately 300 people attended the event. Minimum contribution for a guest was $2,300, with VIP access for supporters who raised $25,000. All money went to the Obama Victory Fund. Another star-studded crowd was on hand. Among the celebrities were actor Denzel Washington, actress and singer Barbra Streisand, actor and Streisand's husband, James Brolin, former Lakers star Magic Johnson, actress Scarlett Johansson, actor Ryan Reynolds, and former California governor Gray Davis.

Guests gathered poolside in the backyard of Jackson's home and drank red and white wine. Golden shallot pancakes with brie and fig preserves and grilled vegetable torte bites with roasted pepper sauce were served. Bread & Butter Catering provided the food at both fund raisers.

she spoke about gay rights:

"Mindful of the audience in front of her, she then touched up gay and lesbian issues. "In a world as it should be," Obama said, "we repeal laws like DOMA (the Defense of Marriage Act) and 'Don't Ask, Don't Tell.'" She also said an Obama Administration would "recognize" gay adoption rights. Both lines received loud applause."

Even in front of a presumably gay-friendly, left-wing Hollywood audience, part of her earlier remarks were omitted from the second appearance:

Obama did not mention anything about gay issues, but much of the rest of the speech was the same.

Wild Thing's comment.........

Michelle will not learn her lesson. Here she goes again mouthing off and attacking Palin this time. Now we are supposed to do what, keep quiet and let her think she can get away with that kind of thing? I think not!

I had to look LGBT up in Google. hahaha I lived all those years in Malibu, Calif. and had no idea what LGBT was.

Not pretty YUK here is what it is.....

Lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender = LGBT

And they are also at Obama's campaign website

Obama continued with talk about Biden when she said, "What you learn about Barack from his choice is that he's not afraid of smart people." The crowd softly chuckled.

Yeah, flap your jaw you Affirmative Action Poster Child.

She calls Sarah stupid, I hate to inform you Michelle but here it goes........Gay adoption rights will go over like a lead balloon with 60-70% of the electorate.

"Guests gathered poolside in the backyard of Jackson's home and drank red and white wine. Golden shallot pancakes with brie and fig preserves and grilled vegetable torte bites with roasted pepper sauce were served."

I would still be hungry and have to go by the drive-through on the way home. heh heh I mean I have eaten like that and I can tell you it does not last long. haha

"In a world as it should be," Obama said...

There's that phrase again. These two are really full of themselves, aren't they? They'd be laughable if their Marxist vision for this nation "as it should be" weren't so chilling.

Speaking at the fundraiser, Mrs. Obama insinuated that she doesn't think Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin is very bright:

Why? Because she didn’t get an Affirmative Action pass to Princeton and Harvard Law ? Because she wasn’t promoted to a $320K/year job when her husband got elected to high office? Just how is it Mrs. Obama doesn’t think a woman who got herself elected Governor of a state isn’t very bright ?

Can you imagine the furor if Todd Palin commented about Michelle at a fundraiser?

Now that Michelle has injected herself into the Palin mix, the gloves can come off with her too. Leave family outta it, my ass, Barack.

Can't wait to see Palin smack this b!tch down. Just get a copy of her thesis and read from it. We'll see who 'isn't intelligent' enough.

"Obama Administration would "recognize" gay adoption rights"

OK, this is something that really tiicks me off. I am adotped and if it would have been possible to ask me do you want to be adopted by two men or two women? A-hem I would have yelled out....No effing way! ..... as I came out of the womb.

I mean it, please this is soooo against all things Godly. I mean it! There is NO way Michelle and Obama are Christians NO WAY!

Wittle B. Hussein Obama At Bon Jovi Event: 'We Won't Be Bullied'

Obama At Bon Jovi Event: 'We Won't Be Bullied'

Presidential Nominee Vows To Fight Back Against Character Attacks Better Than John Kerry Did In '04

Democrat Barack Obama turned Friday to rock legend Jon Bon Jovi for help.

MIDDLETOWN, N.J.

cbs

Bon Jovi and his wife, Dorothea, hosted more than 100 people for dinner on their mansion lawn by the Navesink River in Middletown, N.J. The price was $30,800 a person, to be divided between the Obama campaign and the Democratic National Committee.

"When I look at Barack, I see an old man," Bon Jovi said in introducing his guest. Obama is 47, Bon Jovi is 46.

Obama spoke for about eight minutes before greeting guests individually. He vowed to fight Republican attacks on his character and background more fiercely than John Kerry did in his losing campaign four years ago.

"We're not going to be bullied, we're not going to be smeared, we're not going to be lied about," Obama said. "I don't believe in coming in second."

Earlier in the evening, Obama attended a $2,300-per-person reception at the nearby home of veteran party fundraiser Phil Murphy. About 200 people, including the Bon Jovis and New Jersey Gov. Jon Corzine, attended.

“I hope you guys are game,” he said, “because I haven’t been putting up with 19 months of airplanes and hotel food and missing my babies and my wife –- I didn’t put up for that stuff just to come in second. I don’t believe in coming in second. The American people can’t afford for us to come in second. We’ve got to win this thing and we’re going to win it with your help.”

Obama said that the assignment of his Republican opponents is “to see if they can snuff out that spirit in this campaign and to knock me down more than one peg,” he said. “The reason that events like this are so important, we’ve got to have the resources and the energy and the determination to say ‘No’ to that. To say ‘enough.’ We’re not going to be bullied, we’re not going to be smeared, we’re not going to be lied about. We’re not going to resort to the same tactics, but we are going to confront them.”

And this one..............

Don’t Believe in Coming in Second,’ Obama Tells Bon Jovi Fundraiser
September 05, 2008 10:18 PM

NEWARK, N.J. — Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill., hit a couple swanky Garden State fundraisers this evening, starting at the house of Democratic National Committee treasurer Phil Murphy and his wife Tammy.

“Are you guys fired up?” bellowed Gov. Jon Corzine to the $2,300-per-person crowd. “You better be, because I think you’re liquored up!”

Obama again said that the GOP convention didn’t discuss solutions to problems facing ordinary Americans, unlike the Democratic gathering.

“The Republicans had a different approach to their convention,” he said. “They had a different theory, which was that ‘We are just sarcastic. We spent a lot of time talking about John McCain’s admittedly compelling biography, and we spent a lot of time lying about Barack’ — that, somehow that’s a political philosophy or an economic theory.”
Obama told the appreciative crowd, “They don’t have a record to run on, so what they’re going to do is they’re going to try and just tear me down. Because it worked four years ago, and it worked eight years ago, you can’t blame them for trying it again, but I don’t think it’s going to work this time.”

Wild Thing's comment.........

Is that mean governor from Alaska picking on you Hussein??

re: “we won’t be bullied”

oooooh, Obama’s scared of a g-i-r-l

LOL Waaaa Waaaa! This kid beat me up at school and her name was Sarah!!!! Waaaaaaa!

They wont be bullied? After the savaging these animals have given Sarah Palin? Yo Hussein, fewer and fewer people are buying the garbage you are peddling.

Doesn’t he see how defensive he’s become? it’s funny to watch... this is part of the unraveling of terrorists associator.

The self proclaimed champion of the common man goes to a $30,000 a head fund-raising dinner and sees no irony whatsoever in hanging out with a rock star! LMAO I tell you. hahhaha

Obama is the manipulator and bully and race card peddler.

Crowd Enthusiastic About McCain-Palin Rally In New Mexico

McCain, Palin wow supporters with a big entrance in Albuquerque

Republican presidential nominee John McCain was introduced Saturday night by Hollywood actor and Oscar winner Robert Duval at the Albuquerque Convention Center. But Duval wasn’t the biggest surprise of the night.

That came in the way McCain entered the convention center: in an entrance worthy of any rock star, the Straight Talk Express drove straight into the convention center, emerging from a smokescreen to ignite thousands of supporters.

“We must win New Mexico,” McCain said to the crowd after his introduction. “There is no doubt we are going to win New Mexico,” McCain added to a cheering crowd that waved McCain/Palin signs and small American flags in the air.

Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, who joined McCain in his latest visit to New Mexico, received a rock star’s welcome as well, fresh off her performance at the Republican National Convention. The crowd chanted “Palin! Palin! Palin!” numerous times during the rally – even when she wasn’t speaking. Palin also continued her role as the “pit bull with lipstick” in attacking Obama.

“There are those candidates who use change to promote their careers,” Palin told the crowd. “And then there are candidates like John McCain who use their careers to promote change.”

She attacked Obama and praised McCain by saying, “He’s the only man in this race who’s got what it takes to lead this country” and “There is only one man in this election who has ever really fought for you.”

One teenage Palin fan beamed as she showed off her autograph from Palin on her hand.

Wild Thing's comment.......

Great responses and another 'packed house' as they say. Thank God because we cannot let Obama win!!!

The left is really throwing everything they can come up with at Sarah Palin. I never saw anything like it in my life. Honestly if they keep this up the Republican party is going to have to get some big guns out to speak out about Obama on Ayers, Hamas endorsement, PLO fund raisers for Obama and his saying the most beautiful thing he ever heard was the Islam call to prayer.

I have no idea who their big guns would be but someone that can get on the talking head shows and fight back. There is stuff out there I will not post here, gossip type of things that I will not post at my blog.

Obama is the one with the associations that are terrorists and law breakers and America haters and known racists. NOT McCain and Palin.

Obama is the one that has a wife with an ugly soul that dishes out her not being proud to be an American. And both she and Barack with their bringing race into things. NOT McCain and Palin.

This election is life or death for America and she looks to her Patriots to defend her and keep her the land of the free. With Obama America will take on a whole new meaning and represent something ugly and sick just like Obama is in what he thinks and wants to do to our country.

McCain Camp ‘Rescues’ Flags From Obama Rally

McCain Camp ‘Rescues’ Flags From Obama Rally

On August 29th, I post ...... Democrats Trash Old Glory, and YES Democrats Are NOT Patriotic! ..... I shared with you how the Democrats were given our American Flag to have for their Convention. Once the convention was over the Flags were found on the ground with the rest of the trash to be thrown away. -- Wild Thing

I was shocked and posted about it. I was angry and this was just another thing the Democrats have done to prove and I do mean PROVE they are NOT Patriotic and could care less about our Flag and our country. --Wild Thing

A worker at Invesco Field in Denver saved thousands of unused flags from the Democratic National Convention that were headed for the garbage. Guerrilla campaigning. They will use these flags at their own event today in Colorado Springs with John McCain and Sarah Palin.

Before McCain speaks today, veterans will haul these garbage bags filled with flags out onto the stage — with dramatic effect, no doubt — and tell the story. The flags are on their way to a McCain Palin rally in Colorado Springs where the Boy Scouts and Veterans of Foreign Wars will distribute them to the GOP faithful.

From Fox News

McCain supporters, claiming they rescued 12,000 miniature American flags from the site of Barack Obama’s nomination acceptance speech last Thursday, redistributed the orphan flags to audience members ahead of a McCain rally in Colorado Springs on Saturday.
McCain supporters said the flags were discovered by a vendor at Denver’s Invesco Field after the conclusion of the Democratic National Convention. The vendor supposedly found trash bags full of flags in and near garbage bins, and turned them over to the McCain campaign.

Boy Scouts were sorting through 84 bags of flags in Colorado on Saturday, before a McCain supporter had veterans distribute them to the audience.

“We want to find good homes for these flags,” radio host Dan Caplis said at the rally, adding that whatever flags remained would be placed at memorials throughout Colorado.

Audience members, who booed when Caplis announced that the flags were left in Denver, waved the flags and chanted “U.S.A” before McCain arrived at the rally with his running mate, Sarah Palin.

Damon Jones, spokesman for the Democratic National Convention Committee, released a statement saying McCain should applaud the fact that thousands of American flags were “proudly waved” at their convention.

“But instead his supporters wrongfully took leftover bundles of our flags from the stadium to play out a cheap political stunt calling into question our patriotism,” he said.

Obama has faced attacks on his patriotism since the beginning of the Democratic primary race and has set up a Web site specifically designed to fight such charges.

The McCain campaign has denied questioning Obama’s patriotism, and even released a statement Friday calling Obama’s most recent comments on the matter “hysterical.”

Wild Thing's comment.......

To Democrats American Flag's are is merely "props". "Props" that had served their purpose and were now to be discarded along with the styrofoam Greek columns. AMERICAN flags discarded like so much used Kleenex.

Libs HATE the flag - that's why they burn it so often. I am only surprised that so many of them were willing to hold them long enough for the cameras to capture that historic moment.

To the Democrats, this election is not about the country, it's about the Democrats. To Obama, it's about Obama. Love of country, in their order of priorities, comes somewhere after ‘free’ government money and the latest edition of the stupid horrible Oprah show..............way after.

McCain, Palin Fire Up Cedarburg, Wisconsin

Note the sign that says...... Read my Lipstick!

LOL

Here is a local news report on the rally held by John McCain and Sarah Palin in Cedarburg, Wisconsin, September 5, 2008.

The reporter says State Troopers estimate that a crowd of 20,000-30,0000 turned out to greet them, far more than the expected .

This video has me crying. Remember how Obama had that rock group play before he spoke .They were a socialist communist rock group and played anti-government songs.

Here in this video is what America is to me. The National Anthem and people loving Americia with all their hearts and wanting the best for our country. -- Wild Thing

McCain, Palin fire up Cedarburg crowd Cedarburg - At a packed street rally here this morning, Republican John McCain used his first post-convention stop to promise a war on special-interest influence and excessive partisanship in Washington, D.C.

"We're going to start to work for the people of this country," McCain shouted. "It's over for the special interests. It's over!"

The Arizona senator joined Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, his vice presidential pick, in front of an ice cream shop on a well-preserved main street the city says is virtually unchanged since 1900.

Without mentioning specifics in a brief address downtown, McCain said the duo would visit small towns across America to talk about real change.

Palin drew the loudest cheers and chants of "Sarah! Sarah! Sarah!" Both repeated popular lines from their convention speeches.

~ McCain, Obama tied in TV audiences!! ~

McCain, Obama tied in TV audiences

NEW YORK

As a television draw, John McCain was every bit the equal of Barack Obama.
The GOP presidential candidate attracted roughly the same number of viewers to his convention acceptance speech Thursday as Obama did before the Democrats last week, according to Nielsen Media Research.

It marked the end of an astonishing run where more than 40 million people watched political speeches on three nights by Obama, McCain and Republican vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin. The Republican convention was the most-watched convention on television ever, beating a standard set by the Democrats a week earlier.

Three times in two weeks, political speeches were watched by more people than the "American Idol" finale, the Academy Awards and the opening ceremony of the Beijing Olympics this year.

"It clearly suggests that a great number of Americans think that who will be the next president is important and worthy of their time," said Tom Rosenstiel, a former political reporter and director of the Project for Excellence in journalism.

Television ratings throughout the primary season had already indicated an intense interest in the election, but viewers clearly were more fascinated in the Democratic contest between Obama and Hillary Clinton than the Republican nomination fight.

This week's ratings, with an average of 34.5 million viewers watching the GOP convention over three days, proved people are becoming more interested in what the Republicans have to say. The Democrats had an average audience of 30.2 million over four days, Nielsen said.

"No one really thought they had it in them in terms of pulling off this amazing convention," said Jay Wallace, vice president for news and editorial at Fox News Channel. But Hurricane Gustav pulled people into the news networks over the weekend, he said. People were also intensely curious about McCain's pick of Palin as a running mate, he said.

Nielsen said that 38.9 million people watched McCain accept the GOP nomination Thursday on either ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN, Fox News Channel or MSNBC. PBS, which has a more imprecise estimate based on samples in a few big cities, said 3.5 million watched on its network.

Last week, Obama's speech in Denver was seen by 38.4 million on 10 different commercial networks, and an additional 4 million on PBS.

Add it up, and that's McCain, 42.4 million, to Obama, 42.4 million.

No one can really tell who truly had the biggest audience, since C-SPAN also showed the speeches, and Nielsen doesn't measure the cable channel's viewers. But if the presidential vote is this close on Nov. 4, it will be a long night.

McCain may have caught a break Thursday when the opening NFL game between the New York Giants and Washington Redskins finished a couple of minutes before the Republican took the stage, Wallace said.

More men (17.9 million) watched McCain speak than watched Obama (16.2 million), Nielsen said.

"The storylines this year have been so amazing," Wallace said. "It really got started with Hillary and Obama—that got everyone in middle America watching. They got caught up in the drama of it."

The numbers put to rest the thought that politics has been a turnoff and death for ratings, which has long been gospel at the TV networks, Rosenstiel said.

That has particularly applied to convention coverage, which broadcast networks have backed away from over the years because executives saw them as stage-managed events. ABC, CBS and NBC each added an hour this year to convention coverage, but it didn't halt one trend: Viewers are just as likely to watch the conventions on cable news networks.

Fox was the most-watched network all three nights of the GOP convention, duplicating its feat from the 2004 GOP convention. CNN was the most popular destination for Obama's speech.

Fox had 9.2 million viewers for McCain's speech, followed by NBC—which aired the football game—at 8.7 million. ABC, CBS, CNN and MSNBC followed in order, Nielsen said.

Joe Biden Using the old Muhammad Ali “rope a dop” On Palin

Joe Biden on CNN Predicts Sarah Palin Will Win the Debate

Sarah Palin vs Joe Biden CNN interview

John Roberts quizzes Joe Biden for his views on Sarah Palin's great speech and he mentions the future debate with her.

Wild Thing's comment..........

He has Barracuda Phobia haha

Governor Palin has him shacking in his boots. Can you sense the fear in him of having to go up against her? He just witnessed what she did to Obama. She will soon be setting her spotting scope on him.

He can’t win unless she falls apart, and that isn’t going to happen, so I think he is covering his bases ahead of time. He is no nice guy this is all to protect his butt. And he is setting her up. Biden is a stuffed shirt liberal but he isn’t stupid. He knows that he loses if he comes off mean or condescending to Palin. So he finds himself in the position of playing down the debate, chastising the media on her behalf, and setting expectations for her very high.

The game is all about beating expectations. There’s been too much hype over her speech - if she doesn’t blow Biden out of the water, it will be viewed as a failure. it is all strategy. he is over building her up (too much). he is building up excessive expectations. japanese would say “kadai hyouka”`....then the whole mass media chorus will say, “disappointment" and they will go on and on how she is not up for being a VP.

We all know she can do it, but they are giving too much rope......I don't like it. Even the man asking Biden the questions points this out. Biden tries to laugh what he says off but he knows John Roberts is saying the truth about what he ( Biden) is donig.

Heh, it’d be cool if Palin could work this into her campaign speeches and thank Biden for the vote of confidence but that she prefers to actually have the debate before declaring a winner. hahaha

Yes he's being smart, but she is smarter. This is just another transparent attempt to set a trap for her. I doubt that he’s ever really trapped anything in his life and she’s probably set many a trap line with Todd. There’s just no substitute for a home grown Alaskan upbringing.

Personally I think she'll have him for lunch.

Alaskans to media: Bring it on !

Alaskans to media: Bring it on

Republican delegates confident Palin has nothing to hide

ST. PAUL, Minn. – Alaska delegates heading home after a giddy week here watching Sarah Palin enter the world stage as John McCain's running mate will face a bevy of reporters probing every nook and cranny of their popular governor's life and work, but their attitude is: Bring it on.

"Let 'em come," said delegate Dave Lewis an operations analyst in Eagle River, Alaska. "I don't think their digging is going to do anything more than present a picture of who Governor Palin is, what she has done and where she can take us."

Palin, along with her husband, Todd, joined John and Cindy McCain on stage last night at the Republican National Convention after the Arizona senator formally accepted his nomination in a speech highlighting his career in the Navy, five years as a POW in Hanoi and 26 years in Congress.

McCain told the delegates last night he had "found just the right partner to help me shake up Washington."

The delegates voted earlier in the evening to make official the convention's nomination of Palin, whose own speech, Wednesday night, fired up the GOP faithful and drew widespread praise.

"It's been surreal for us," Lewis said, summing up the week. "When do you ever get a chance to come from a small state where the next vice president of the United States is your governor? It is just great."

Lewis said Alaskans are "looking forward to the rest of the country and the world understanding what a fine governor we've had, what a fine person, and how much she can contribute not only to the ticket but to changing the things that Sen. McCain talked about tonight."

Responding to the harsh media spotlight on Palin, Alaska delegate Mead Treadwell, a venture capitalist in Anchorage who has worked with the governor in numerous capacities, argued it's possible to "find things about anybody if you tell half the story."

'"But when you see the full story, I don't think they are going to lay a glove on her," he said.

Among the issues raised is Palin's firing of Alaska's public safety commissioner, Walt Monegan, who claims he was let go because he refused to dismiss the governor's brother-in-law, a state trooper going through a messy divorce with her sister. Palin denies any wrongdoing.

If Palin raised some questions about a trooper, it was to protect her family," Treadwell said.

Other members of the state's delegation contend it's clear Monegan should have fired the trooper for gross misbehavior, such as driving drunk on the job and Tasing a young teen.

Treadwell sees the personal issues brought up against Palin – such as unwed daughter Bristol's pregnancy – as off-limits, noting his mother was in Bristol's shoes, and he wouldn't be around if she had taken a different course.

Questions have been raised about whether the campaign properly vetted Palin, but McCain staffers contend they were aware of the matters raised by media and fierce critics of the new vice presidential candidate.

Sen. Orrin Hatch of Utah noted in an interview with WND at the convention that Palin was vetted by former White House counsel Arthur Culvahouse.

"He's one of the best attorneys in the country, one of the toughest guys. You don't get by him with anything," Hatch said.

The Washington Post reported Tuesday that an in-depth interview meeting with Culvahouse didn't take place until Aug. 27, one day before McCain decided on Palin. But campaign advisers said they had collected information about Palin before the meeting, including details of the firing of the safety commissioner, Monegan.

In his speech last night, McCain praised Palin as a leader with "executive experience and a real record of accomplishment."

"She's tackled tough problems like energy independence and corruption," McCain said. "She's balanced a budget, cut taxes and taken on the special interests."

McCain said Palin "knows where she comes from, and she knows who she works for. She stands up for what's right, and she doesn't let anyone tell her to sit down."

"I'm very proud to have introduced our next vice president to the country," McCain said. "But I can't wait until I introduce her to Washington. And let me offer an advance warning to the old, big-spending, do-nothing, me-first, country-second Washington crowd: Change is coming."

While Palin's "Washington outsider" image resonates as a campaign theme, for even many of her supporters it underscores the question of whether she is qualified to handle foreign policy issues.

Treadwell – who has worked with Palin on international relations and environmental and energy issues – said the governor is very bright and repeatedly has demonstrated she's a quick study who does her homework before confronting any issue.

"I think it's going to be great that we have a vice president who knows and understands people," he said. "People say a "heartbeat from the presidency." She's got the heartbeat of America."

Treadwell said he did not support Palin in her run for lieutenant governor, and "I've learned the hard way not to underestimate this woman."

He has worked with her on numerous diplomatic endeavors, including one on energy two weeks ago with Arctic parliamentarians. Treadwell said he also has teamed with Palin on U.S.-Russia relations and talks with the president of Iceland on geothermal resources.

The governor conducts sessions such as these like any other meeting, according to Treadwell.

"She does her homework, she comes into the meeting, she says, 'How can we make a deal, what's in our common interest?' And we move on."

Treadwell said he was with Palin in another meeting to help elect an Alaska senator.

"I had read something that morning, I passed it across the table, and she said, 'Yeah,'" acknowledging she had digested its contents," Treadwell recalled. "It was one of the more obscure policy wonk things that you might get in the mail in Washington, and she'd been up to it."
Treadwell called her "a student of politics and a student of what's right."

She has challenged oil companies when they don't produce, but her approach is to help them become more competitive, he said.

Also, her attempt to lower health care costs, instinctively, was to say let's be more competitive, he pointed out.

Treadwell, who serves on the board of a small airline in Alaska, said Palin's challenge to the airline industry in the state is, "You guys can't have a monopoly."

"Now that's a refreshing kind of Republican," he said. "That's a Teddy Roosevelt Republican. And I think you're going to find Sarah Palin is a very, very good colleague."

As the convention wound down last night amid popping balloons and confetti-strewn aisles, former House speaker Newt Gingrich summed up the mood. Speaking to the Fox News Channel's Greta van Sustren, he said he's been to seven conventions, and this one was the "happiest," because of Palin.

"I think the very audacity of Palin has given everyone a sense that McCain is the real thing," Gingrich said, "and we're going to go out and fundamentally change Washington, and we're going to do it with energy and courage."

I love it!

One of the radio talk shows requested for only people living in Alaska to call and they would put their calls through right away. One after the other called the host to tell him ( Bill Bennett) how he or she and their entire State loved Sarah. How they referred to her as.... Sarah. How their son played Hockey with her son. How they would see her at the grocery store and visit like any of us would, all the things that so many politicians soon forget when they are elected to office including Gov.'s of a State.

It was so refreshing to hear each called share how they knew her and some moment that they could share to let others have a glimpse into Sarah Palin.

This article touched me the same way. I love how the delegates feel the way they do like a real team. I love things like that.

Sarah Palin: it's go west, towards the future of conservatism

Sarah Palin: it's go west, towards the future of conservatism

Times Online

Her thrilling convention speech showed that the Governor of Alaska is a force to reckoned with. But she might be more than that.

The best line I heard about Sarah Palin during the frenzied orgy of chauvinist condescension and gutter-crawling journalistic intrusion that greeted her nomination for vice-president a week ago came from a correspondent who knows a thing or two about Alaska.

“What's the difference between Sarah Palin and Barack Obama?”

“One is a well turned-out, good-looking, and let's be honest, pretty sexy piece of eye-candy.

“The other kills her own food.”

Now we know, thanks to her triumphant debut at the Republican convention on Wednesday, that Mrs Palin not only slaughters her prey. She impales its head on a stick and parades it around for her followers to jeer at. For half an hour she eviscerated Mr Obama in that hall and did it all without dropping her sweet schoolmarm smile, as if she were handing out chocolates at the end of a history lesson.

There's a powerful danger in the sheer thrill that has followed her astonishing performance that we could get carried away with John McCain's running-mate. Some of the coverage has a hyperbolic tone to it. Not since Paris handed that apple to Aphrodite has a man's selection of a woman had such implications for the future of our civilisation.

So let's stipulate one obvious and important piece of wisdom about US elections. The choice of a vice-presidential candidate rarely makes much of a difference. The pundit class waxes historical in the excitement of the moment but usually the vice-presidential choices go back to playing second banana. However mawkishly we dwell on the mortality of the presidential contenders, it is they who determine the voters' decision.

This one, to be fair, could be different. For at least the next few weeks the press will follow Mrs Palin's present and dig deeper into her past, still hoping for some morsel of stupidity or evidence of cupidity to doom her. But in the end, barring such a discovery, this is still an Obama-McCain contest.

But let me try to explain why Mrs Palin, whatever impact she might have in November, may be a figure of real consequence in our lives.

It's partly about what she represents and partly about what she has already done, but mostly about where she and her ilk might take the Republicans - and possibly America.

It never ceases to amaze me how the Left falls again and again into the old trap of underestimating politicians whom they don't understand. From Ronald Reagan and Margaret Thatcher to George Bush and Mrs Palin, they do it every time. Because these characters talk a bit funny and have ridiculously antiquated views about faith, family and nation, because they haven't spent time bending the knee to the intellectual metropolitan elites, they can't be taken seriously.

So the general expectation was that Mrs Palin would stumble on to the stage in high heels, clutching her sprawling, slightly odd family (five children! how weird), mispronounce the name of the Russian Prime Minister, mutter a few platitudes about God, and disappear for ever to a deafening chorus of sniggers.

No one paid much attention to the fact that she had been elected governor of a state. Or that she got to that office not because, unlike some politicians I could mention, her husband had been there before her, or because she bleated continuously about glass ceilings, but by challenging the entrenched interests in her own party and beating them. In almost two years as Governor she has cleaned out the Augean stables of Alaskan Government. You don't win a statewide election and enjoy approval ratings of more than 80 per cent without real political talent.

Never mind all that. She didn't have a passport! She was a former beauty queen! It was so axiomatic that she was a disaster that I was told by lots of savvy men - with deliciously unconscious sexism - that the real problem was what the choice said about Mr McCain and his judgment: cynical, irresponsible, clueless. It was as if Mrs Palin wasn't really a human being at all, but an article of Mr McCain's clothing that showed his poor taste, like wearing brown shoes with a charcoal suit.

So here's why she matters.

First of all she offers an opportunity for an ailing Republican party to reconnect with ordinary Americans. She's conservative, but her conservatism is not that of the intolerant, uncomprehending white male sort that has so hurt the party in recent years. She is much closer to a model of the lives of ordinary Americans - working mother, plainspoken everywoman juggling home and office - than any Republican leader in memory.

The contrast with Mr Obama is especially powerful. The very fact that Mrs Palin didn't go to elite schools but succeeded nonetheless - the very ordinariness with which she so piquantly jabbed Mr Obama on Wednesday - is what will make her so appealing to Americans. And as a pro-life conservative she debunks in one swoop the enduring myth that all women subscribe to the obligatory nostrums of radical feminism.

But there's more to it than that.

The Republicans have decided that they are not going to make the mistake Hillary Clinton made and run against the effervescent Mr Obama on the premise of experience.

Experience hasn't got Americans into a very comfortable place. They want change. Before he signed up to some of the less attractive Republican attitudes this year, Mr McCain's career had embodied that change - the anti-establishment candidate running against his own party. Now he is joined by a woman who, in her short career, has done the same thing.

Democrats think that Mr McCain, with the social conservative Mrs Palin, will launch an old-fashioned culture war at them, using her appealing manner to drive a populist assault on the familiar Republican issues of God, guns and gays.

Perhaps this Manichean interpretation will prove true. But I suspect that it misses the real appeal of the Republican team. The opportunity for McCain-Palin is not reaction, but reform - a reform rooted in a distant conservatism that could be due for a comeback

Hailing from Arizona and Alaska, the Republican ticket has a chance to rekindle a western conservatism different from the old Yankee paternalist sort or the Bible Belt version. They like their guns out there (some still kill their own food) and they are pro-life and deeply pro-America, of course. But at a time of grave challenges, the themes of economic freedom and opportunity, the resistance to the idea that government holds all the answers, could resonate with voters.

This is an election, as the Democrats have realised all along, about an America on the cusp of change. With the moose-hunting, establishment-taunting Mrs Palin at his side, Mr McCain might represent a bigger change than the one that his opponents are offering.

Rudy Giuliani Full Speech at the RNC

Former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani at the 2008 Republican National Convention.

Wild Thing's comment........

In case some of you missed Rudy's speech at the RNC convention. He gave one heck of a speech. LOL And I love how he zaps the left. hahaha He did it in such a wonderfully mocking way. It couldn’t have been more perfect if he had just sat there laughing every time Obama’s name came up. They (libs) hate humor, and they hate being belittled. Rudy did both in such a wonderful way.

He had the Convention electrified. I didn’t think his speech could be topped...and then right after his speech Sarah Palin gave hers and she brought the house down. What an awesome night that whole evening was.

Obama Calls Penn State The "Nittaly Lions"

Wild Thing's comment........

This guy is an elitist intelligentsia moron! 57 states; “Nitally” Lions; breathalizers for asthma sufferers. Can this guy be more clueless? No resume, no accomplishments, no experience, no original ideas, no understanding of how the economy works, no understanding of how the world works, no balls, nothing but abstract empty rhetoric devoid of real substance.

Rush Limbaugh played this on his show today.

The hell with Obama! The realization that they are fighting a lost cause just smacked the dems and their surrogates across the face.

Their “Change” theme has just been usurped by people who actually have accomplished something.

Keep wowin’ ‘em in Pennsylvania!

And a few days ago he called Governor Palin’s home town Wasilly, instead of Wasilla.

Just one more thing. If Obama really cared about Americans he would take more care in knowing who he was talking to and talking about, more care in where he was and for God's sake how many States there are.

He is stupid, he could care less, he just uses this country. Go the heck back Kenya jerk and take your wife with you.

Hey Obama we don't forget and we won't let you forget what you said :

"And it's not surprising then they get bitter, they cling to guns or religion or antipathy to people who aren't like them or anti-immigrant sentiment or anti-trade sentiment as a way to explain their frustrations."

Obama Enlists Clinton To Help Counter Palin

Obama enlists Clinton to help counter Palin

Star Tribune

Rapid-response team of female surrogates is being readied to take on the Republican ticket.

Sen. Barack Obama will increasingly lean on prominent Democratic women to undercut Gov. Sarah Palin and Sen. John McCain, dispatching Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton to Florida on Monday and creating a rapid-response team to deploy female surrogates to battleground states, Obama advisers said Thursday.

Clinton's campaign event in Florida, her first for Obama since the Democratic convention, will include a forceful response to the searing attacks and fresh burst of energy that Palin injected into the race with her convention speech on Wednesday, Obama aides said.

With the McCain-Palin team courting undecided female voters, including some who backed Clinton in the Democratic primaries, Obama aides said they were counting on not only Clinton but also Democratic female governors to criticize Palin -- and, by extension, McCain. Those governors include Janet Napolitano of Arizona and Kathleen Sebelius of Kansas.

Within the Obama campaign and among Democratic officials nationwide, talks are well under way about how the party should treat Palin in the campaign -- and what Obama and his running mate, Sen. Joseph Biden, need to do to regain the offensive after the Republican convention.

Some Democrats were urging Obama's campaign not to underestimate the potential power of Palin's speech.

On liberal talk-radio shows and on left-leaning blogs, some Democrats said the Obama campaign should fight back hard to avoid being caricatured as Sen. John Kerry was four years ago when he ran against President Bush. Some party strategists warned that Palin's personal narrative as a "hockey mom" with a special-needs child would appeal to some undecided women.

"What McCain has done with Governor Palin's nomination is aim right at a demographic that Obama needs to address quickly: noncollege-educated women," said Mike McCurry, a former spokesman in the Clinton White House.

Advisers to Obama predicted that the buzz over Palin would fade and that the race would quickly turn back into a contest between McCain and Obama, despite the McCain campaign's efforts to compare Obama's experience unfavorably to Palin's. At the same time, even as Democratic researchers pore over Palin's record in Alaska, the rapid-response team is settnig up in Chicago to dispatch female surrogates around the country.

David Axelrod, the Obama campaign's chief political strategist, said Obama would not raise questions about Palin's experience. Axelrod said the campaign would work instead to impress upon voters the seriousness of the race and continue to try to link the McCain-Palin team to Bush.

Wild Thing's comment........

A what? A who? hahaha Rapid-response team of female surrogates to fight off Palin. hahaha This is rich!

They know they’re in trouble. WOW my very first thought is here is a man that wants to be President and he is sending our WOMEN to fight his battles for him. LMAO

Yeah, c’mon girlie-boy, show us how you’ll stand up to Iran by taking on the GOP.

I realize they are going up against a woman and that is the reason or part of it, but still. This is just too funny. Actually the contrasts between Sarah and Clinton will be striking. I think it was Rush that said Sarah is what guys want as a wife while Clinton reminds them of their ex wife. I’d say for females, Sarah would be someone they want to be friends with while Clinton is a woman at work they can’t stand. heh heh

So what is Hillary Clinton supposed to say in Florida ?

1.. She’s not as experienced as Obama....
2. She has not given us her full background...
3. She hasn’t released her birth certificate..
4.. She’s married and has 5 children, that’s not very Feminist...
5. Barack and Joe are the right team to lead America even though i was well qualified too...Darn !!

Sen.Obama, Served on Behalf of Philip Berg, Esq. Re: Natural-born Citizen or Not

Lawsuit questions Obama's eligibility for office: citenship claim at issue

http://obamacrimes.com/

Pennsylvania's former deputy attorney general and Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton supporter Philip J. Berg has filed a lawsuit in federal court in Pennsylvania accusing presumptive Democratic presidential candidate Sen. Barack Obama of lying about his U.S. citizenship, which would make him ineligible to be president.

Mr. Berg is one of a faction of Clinton supporters who haven't heeded the party's call for unity, filing the suit just days before the opening of the Democratic National Convention, which will nominate Mr. Obama as the party's presidential candidate.

The suit, filed in U.S. District Court in Philadelphia last week, also names the Democratic National Committee and the Federal Election Commission and says Mr. Obama´s mother went to Kenya late in her pregnancy and ended up giving birth there. It also claims that later in life, Mr. Obama declared himself a citizen of Indonesia.

The Obama campaign has firmly said the Illinois Democrat is a natural-born citizen. Last month, the campaign posted on Mr. Obama's Web site a copy of his "certification of live birth." It says he was born in Honolulu on Aug. 4, 1961, two years after Hawaii was named the 50th state.

Mr. Berg said he was contacted about filing the lawsuit by a member or associate of the group PUMA, which was formed to support Mrs. Clinton shortly after she withdrew from the race. Its mission includes denouncing the Democratic Party and Mr. Obama's nomination.

"I really do not believe he is a natural-born citizen," said Mr. Berg, adding that he is not connected with Mrs. Clinton or her campaign.

Wild Thing's comment........

There was a question as to McCain and Obama being citizens. McCain was cleared long ago but not Obama. Puma has been going after this like crazy ever since the votes were stolen from Hillary and it looks like it is starting to be taken seriously. Maybe , maybe not, this legal stuff is always confusing to me.

Nobody threw the suit out about Obama, the judge simply delayed it until Obama could be served. Well, now he is served, and whether it goes anywhere or not, it will shake up the game.

I wonder how the server got through the secret service? Maybe when Obama said he would do the interview with O'Reilly or was that taped and done awhile back , not sure.

Just out of curiousity, if the candidate had to remove himself from the race at this point, how would they choose another candidate?

OK I just checked with some research and found this:

Per the Rules of the DNC:
“Filling a Vacancy on the National Ticket: In the event of death, resignation or disability of a nominee of the Party for President or Vice President after the adjournment of the National Convention, the National Chairperson of the Democratic National Committee shall confer with the Democratic leadership of the United States Congress and the Democratic Governors Association and shall report to the Democratic National Committee, which is authorized to fill the vacancy or vacancies.”

I doubt though this is going anywhere other then to upset Obama and throw him off balance for awhile. My thinking is this particular suit could be thrown out since Berg ‘claims’ the RNC has the source documents proving the claim. Since Berg doesn’t have them he really doesn’t have any hard evidence.

BUT if the ‘claims’ are true and the RNC does have the hard evidence could be a different ballgame later.

Too much drama for me. I like things a lot cleaner. See the enemy, aim and shoot. Feel the recoil and clean the gun. hahaahahhaa Sorry could not resist only kidding , but all this drama is just too much. LOL

I haven't posted on this because it all seems like a soap opera and not real. His mom was a citizen so wouldn't that make him a citizen too. (?)

Also Obama is a guy who wants GIs to read foreign terrorists captured abroad their Miranda Rights. He doesn't want to monitor terrorist communications. He wants to end enhanced scrutiny of visa applicants from Muslim countries. He is a ZERO in the War on Terror. That to me ranks higher on the food chart. Besides I would rather run against Obama then Hillary. I want us to win and I think we can now going up against Obama. Also Hillary has too many dead associations in her life. Yikes ( eyes rolling here) haha

Palin's hometown crowd: "She thumped 'em"

Palin's hometown crowd: "She thumped 'em"

Scott Myers led the cheering section Wednesday as Sarah Palin, the hometown girl, accepted the Republican vice presidential nomination at the GOP convention.

Myers, holding two small American flags, shouted, "Go, Sarah! Yes, Sarah! Go Sarah! Yes, Sarah!" as more than 100 people crowded the Tailgaters sports bar and grill to watch the late afternoon speech.

Myers, 70, said Palin is family, and she takes care of the people of Wasilla like her own.

He said she's hardworking, just like his mother, she's juggling two jobs, and she can take whatever is dished out.

"She's a true blue, dyed-in-the-wool honest person and everyone is scared to death of her," said the resident of nearby Palmer who described himself as a conservative Republican. "Now I've got someone to root for again."

Myers wasn't alone in his unabashed enthusiasm for Palin during her speech.

Minor Smith, 57, a North Slope worker from Wasilla, who was baptized in the same church as Palin and knows her husband, Todd, said he wasn't worried that Sarah Palin would crumble under the pressure. In fact, he said, it's just the type of fight she likes.

"She is perfectly able to defend herself. She's a little tiger," he said of the woman he got to know at church picnics. "She loves this stuff. This is what she lives for."

Palin was born in Idaho, but moved to Wasilla as an infant with her parents, Chuck and Sally Heath.

The giddy crowd flashed their McCain-Palin shirts - what they call "Sarah wear" - and swapped stories about the Palin and Heath families they all had heard a thousand times before.

When Palin took the stage, they leapt to their feet like the hometown team was taking the field for the Super Bowl.

Carol Bearman, 42, said she was visting from the Prince William Sound community of Valdez to go moose hunting. Bearman said Palin was tough, like every Alaska woman.

Bearman noted that many pundits predict that Democratic vice presidential candidate Joe Biden will have no trouble dismantling the green Palin during debates.

"They all say Biden is going to eat her up and spit her out. I think the opposite is going to happen," Bearman said after Palin's speech.

The crowd cheered at just about every sentence during Palin's speech, and frequently jumped to their feet, singing a chorus of "Go girl! and "Yes, Sarah!"

Some of the biggest responses came when Palin introduced her family and when the camera stayed on her parents.

She also drew wild applause when making jabs at presidential candidate Barack Obama and other Democrats and when she defended the people that come from small-town America.

"They love their country in good times and bad," Palin said, prompting Myers to jump to his feet, clapping and yelling, "Yay!" while others cheered wildly.

She also got a loud laugh when making the joke about the only difference between a hockey mom and a pit bull - lipstick.

Smith - who showed up at the bar to watch a Los Angeles Dodgers baseball game - said he wasn't surprised that Palin was the picture of confidence during her first national speech.

"She believes this stuff. It's Sarah being Sarah," he said.

Mike Swanson, 53, and J.P., his 51-year-old wife, both donned "Go Sarah" T-shirts to show their support. J.P. said she remembers teaching 18-year-old Sarah Palin how to do telephone repair work and said she was impressive even then.

However, she said she can't help worrying about her just a little bit, like a mother, she said.

"She'll be all right. We're damn proud of her," she said.

Her husband added it won't be long before the rest of the country gets to know the real Sarah Palin, too.

"I'm sure the rest of the country will be proud of her, too, real quick," he said.

At the end of Palin's speech, the bar crowd jumped to their feet and gave her standing ovation.

"She thumped 'em," Myers said.

Wild Thing's comment...........

Sen. McCain's 2008 Nomination Acceptance Address

Just a few parts of his speech......

"My fellow Americans, when I’m President, we’re going to embark on the most ambitious national project in decades. We are going to stop sending $700 billion a year to countries that don’t like us very much. We will attack the problem on every front. We will produce more energy at home. We will drill new wells offshore, and we’ll drill them now. We will build more nuclear power plants. We will develop clean coal technology. We will increase the use of wind, tide, solar and natural gas."

"I’ve been an imperfect servant of my country for many years. But I have been her servant first, last and always. And I’ve never lived a day, in good times or bad, that I didn’t thank God for the privilege.
Long ago, something unusual happened to me that taught me the most valuable lesson of my life. I was blessed by misfortune. I mean that sincerely. I was blessed because I served in the company of heroes, and I witnessed a thousand acts of courage, compassion and love."

"A lot of prisoners had it worse than I did. I’d been mistreated before, but not as badly as others. I always liked to strut a little after I’d been roughed up to show the other guys I was tough enough to take it. But after I turned down their offer, they worked me over harder than they ever had before. For a long time. And they broke me.
When they brought me back to my cell, I was hurt and ashamed, and I didn’t know how I could face my fellow prisoners. The good man in the cell next door, my friend, Bob Craner, saved me. Through taps on a wall he told me I had fought as hard as I could. No man can always stand alone. And then he told me to get back up and fight again for our country and for the men I had the honor to serve with. Because every day they fought for me."

THIS ONE IS AWESOME!

"I fell in love with my country when I was a prisoner in someone else’s. I loved it not just for the many comforts of life here. I loved it for its decency; for its faith in the wisdom, justice and goodness of its people. I loved it because it was not just a place, but an idea, a cause worth fighting for. I was never the same again. I wasn’t my own man anymore. I was my country’s."

"I’m not running for president because I think I’m blessed with such personal greatness that history has anointed me to save our country in its hour of need. My country saved me. My country saved me, and I cannot forget it. And I will fight for her for as long as I draw breath, so help me God."

Wild Thing's comment.........

The whole speech was very sincere, thoughtful and well-spoken. Not fire and brimstone. It was a humble speech and combined with Sarah Palin’s line in her speech about having a “servant’s heart” shows that this ticket knows who they are without guile or pretension.

He told of his stay in the Hanoi Hilton, and how that experience shaped him. I liked when he told from his heart about how America saved him and how he went from a self, and the all about me looking for excitement kind of guy to a man that wanted to serve the country that saved him........ that touched me and when the camera panned again to the Vets once again I looked into their eyes. As I watched the faces of the Veterans they are most important to me, more then anything, and it was very moving. Tears in their eyes and upon their cheeks, eyes that held untold stories and some shared, but memories and the never to be forgotten depth in them. McCain is a MAN and a hero, he is a man of deep conviction. And a man of passion and will fight back. He will fight back if we are attacked again, being a wimp like Kerry and Obama is foreign to him.

McCain as we know is against waterboarding, but after hearing him speak I understand better why. One time months ago Jack said on here that his being against waterboarding might be due to his being a POW and what he went through. I think he is right and soooooooo I am offering to be in charge of the torture of Islamists and waterboarding. Then McCain won't have to think about it and we can still get information we need. There that is settled then, if he would only take me up on it.

Obama bragged on how he gave up a job on Wall Street, McCain in sharing with us when he was a POW ....and with his voice getting a bit choked up he said, “And they broke me.”

McCain told us who he is and how he thinks about his country...our country and I believe him. He spoke from his heart and his heart loves America.

Some of his politics I don't appreciate, I disagree with and I have posted about it, I can never forgive him regarding the POW MIA Senate Hearings with Kerry and his comment about the Swifties . His stand on amnesty is very upsetting, but I have to be honest, I have posted more then most blogs I have seen about the illegals and how upset about illegals I am and the amnesty. I worked hard both times to get them not to pass the Bush, Kennedy, McCain, amnesty bill under Bush. My thought on this is that before Bush won his first term, when I worked very hard to get him elected, in rallies,etc. ( sidenote: we were not living in Florida back then during his first run for Pres.) I knew very well that Bush favored illegals and amnesty. That was a huge issue with me. It still is today but the reality is that I voted for Bush both times and campaigned for him both times knowing how he felt about illegals.

My point is.... here I am once again hoping a man wins that is for illegals and will surely push his amnesty if elected. I don't know the answer and I am not asking a question. hahaha I just need to say it out loud because I realize we may never have someone to vote for that is against amnesty like we are here at this blog and many other blogs.

One thing for sure after this speech he gave I will not question his love for his country. His thinking on some things, yes, and his past actions yes, but in comparison it's an implicit contrast with Obama, who puts himself first. Who is a totally dangerous man for America not only about illegals but in every way. McCain has proven he has walked the talk on many other things then those things I disagree with.

And who knows with Palin as his VP she may influence him to be more conservative. One can hope anyway and I do so love looking at the glass half full, how can we not! We live in America and we are so blessed to be Americans.

The last five minutes was fantastic. The ending, where he continued to talk while the delegates were cheering ever louder, was inspiring. AWESOME!!!!!

God bless the McCain family and God Bless the Palin family. Both families have sons serving our country.

Sarah "Barracuda" Palin , you have rocked our world

One of the many highlights:

"But when the cloud of rhetoric has passed, when the roar of the crowd fades away, when the stadium lights go out, and those Styrofoam Greek columns are hauled back to some studio lot…when that happens, what exactly is our opponent’s plan? What does he actually seek to accomplish, after he’s done turning back the waters and healing the planet? The answer, the answer is to make government bigger, and take more of your money, and give you more orders from Washington, and to reduce the strength of America in a dangerous world."

On her experience as a public servant:

"I had the privilege of living most of my life in a small town. I was just your average hockey mom, and signed up for the PTA because I wanted to make my kids’ public education better. When I ran for city council, I didn’t need focus groups and voter profiles because I knew those voters, and knew their families, too. Before I became governor of the great state of Alaska, I was mayor of my hometown. And since our opponents in this presidential election seem to look down on that experience, let me explain to them what the job involves. I guess a small-town mayor is sort of like a ‘community organizer,’ except that you have actual responsibilities."

On why she is going to Washington, D.C.:

"I’m not a member of the permanent political establishment. And I’ve learned quickly, these past few days, that if you’re not a member in good standing of the Washington elite, then some in the media consider a candidate unqualified for that reason alone. But here’s a little news flash for all those reporters and commentators: I’m not going to Washington to seek their good opinion - I’m going to Washington to serve the people of this country."

On energy policies that the McCain-Palin administration will implement:

"Our opponents say, again and again, that drilling will not solve all of America’s energy problems - as if we all didn’t know that already. But the fact that drilling won’t solve every problem is no excuse to do nothing at all. Starting in January, in a McCain-Palin administration, we’re going to lay more pipelines...build more nuclear plants...create jobs with clean coal...and move forward on solar, wind, geothermal, and other alternative sources. We need American energy resources, brought to you by American ingenuity, and produced by American workers."

On John McCain:

"Here’s how I look at the choice Americans face in this election. In politics, there are some candidates who use change to promote their careers. And then there are those, like John McCain, who use their careers to promote change."

Piper, she is so adorable and loaded with personality.

Wild Thing's comment.........

Sarah is a seriously silky smooth stiletto assasin. Obama is bleeding and he doesn’t even know it yet. Warm. Charming. Composed. Witty. Bright. Personable. Real. All of those things, while at the same time landing body blows all over BHO. With a smile on her face she took Obama/Biden to the woodshed again, and again, and again.

Fred Thompson the night before was awesome, and then the others tlast night, Mitt Romney did a great job too and even Huckabee a none favorite of mine had a few swipes at Obama.

I haven't seen anything like this since Reagan.

God once again has smiled down on America and blessed us with Sarah Palin. God is showing us He does does not want a Marxist elected either.

McCain is like a stealthy ninja, he has struck the Obama campaign a deadly blow with his choice of Sarah. The fawning Obama worshiping media looks completely flummoxed and frustrated that she brushed aside their character assassination attempts, and preceded to drop atomic elbows off the top rope on Obama during her speech.

Howard Wolfson commenting on Fox afterwards looked stunned, he had nothing but praise. He said she stuck a knife in Obama and twisted it with a smile on her face. The only thing he could say was he didn’t agree with her policies but that she was going to be real trouble for the dems.

Krauthammer said she didn’t just throw red meat out, she slaughtered a small cow at the podium.

Mort Kondracke: "brilliant"

Bill Kristol: "terrific"

Fred Barnes: "Look out Joe Biden!"

Chris Wallace: "A star was born tonight"

Laura Ingrham said on Fox that she thought it was one the best political speeches she has ever heard.

Obama has just been out phenomed. If she debates half this well, Biden is toast. Wolfson also noted Biden had better bring his A game or he’s lunch.

This was an historic night. I am mega excited about McCain/Palin and can’t wait to see them win the election!!

Howard Wolfson Reacts To Gov. Palin's Speech At RNC

Chris Wallace questioning Howard Wolfson and how Howard Reacts To Gov. Palin's Speech At the Republican National Convention.

Wild Thing's comment........

LOL I am enjoying this. We have waited for this for such a long time if you count the 8 years of the left attacking Bush and calling him a nazi and all the other attacks from the left.

Right about now, Obama and Biden probably feel like the dressed out moose.

Obama the Friend of Ayers and Rezko, to Appear on Egomaniac O'Reilly Factor Tonight

Barack Obama will appear on Fox News with conservative Bill O'Reilly on Thursday, the same night John McCain gives his acceptance speech at the Republican convention here. What a coincidence!

The first-time appearance by the Illinois senator on O'Reilly's show will likely be a ratings draw, although it will not go head-to-head with McCain's speech.

Obama's interview will air at 8:00 p.m. EDT, while McCain's speech will air after 9:00 p.m.

O'Reilly will sit down with Obama Thursday in York, Pa., where he plans to question Obama on his "political career, domestic issues and foreign policy in Iran and Iraq," according to a statement by the network, which is owned by News Corp.,

Wild Thing's comment.......

Light weight O'Reilly has no class nor shame. He brags about being an independent, fine. I could care less. But this interview he has literally been BEGGING for from Obama does not have to be the same night as the closing night of the Republican Convention. And O'Reilly the creep knows it.

More and more lately O'Reilly has been defending Obama, it really is sickening. I am sure it was his way of kissing up to Obama to try and get the interview. But good grief O'Reilly is so obvious about it. LOL

O'Reilly wants the left to like him. ah poor baby....NOT!

Rush ( my favorite) says he prefers when the left doesn't like him, he always says it means he is doing his job. And there are an awful lot of people that don't like Rush and most of them are on the left.

Palin squashed the cockroach and O'Reilly is throwing him a lifeline.

O'Reilly wants to be loved as a star, not respected as a journalist. He has lost a ton of respect from many conservatives with his kissing up to the left like he does in his interviews. The one he did with Michael Moore was totally disgusting.

Give him a mirror and he could preen and talk about looking out for himself....oops the people.... yeah the people.
O'Reilly's interview is about O'Reilly. It is not to get the facts he says he wants for the American people--although this is what he tells himself and believes. However I know he will throw him many softballs and if he doesn't and asks some hard questions he will let him off on his answers. Why? Because O'Reilly is more focused on his resume than realizing he is stepping all over the RNC's final day.

O'Reilly has a badly inflated sense of his interviewing skills. He misses obvious follow-up questions and lets interviewees get away with vague non-answers. Not as bad as Larry King yet, but there's time.

Rush Limbaugh is KING no one comes close, but there are many others that are really good too such as Laura, Mark Levin, and Glenn Beck. All these I named are ten times better then O'Reilly.

Sure I will tape it to watch later after the convention is over tonight, just to see if Obama says something about Palin's speech...... oh wait....that would be.......Uh....Palin....I mean uh....er uh.....uh....uh.....uh.....Sarah uh....uh.....ah.....ah.....uh....... her speech.

Why Obama Can't Close the Sale ~ He Wants To TAX you to Death!

Why Obama Can't Close the Sale

By AL HUBBARD and NOAM NEUSNER

Even before John McCain shook up the presidential race by tapping Gov. Sarah Palin to be his running mate, polls weren't showing the late-August lead that Barack Obama (and many Republicans) expected. Why so?

It's not because of the brilliance of the McCain campaign. Rather we believe that -- despite the media's best efforts to exempt Mr. Obama's policies from critical examination -- American voters aren't sheep. They pay attention to the candidates and positions and make wise decisions about who should lead the country.

True, Mr. Obama enjoys several advantages. Republicans are struggling nationwide in head-to-head contests. Democrats lead in voter registration, and have a well-funded presidential candidate.

Yet Americans have not committed to Mr. Obama. Why?

Clearly, Mr. Obama's weakness on foreign policy is a factor. He has a knee-jerk preference for diplomacy with China, Europe and Russia over the security of the American people and our closest allies. He hasn't explained his shifting positions on Iraq and Iran, among other hot spots. And he felt compelled to make up for his experience gap with Mr. McCain by picking Sen. Joe Biden to be his running mate.

But here's the thing: It's not that Mr. Obama hasn't been specific enough in his governing plans. To the contrary, he has been very specific about his tax policy, health-care and energy proposals. It's that voters are paying attention and appear not to like what Candidate Obama is saying.

Mr. Obama has proposed a massive tax increase on investors, business owners, and the "wealthy." At a time when the American people rate the economy as the central issue of the campaign, a tax hike doesn't make a lot of political sense. Voters know that a tax hike won't help the economy.

Moreover, Mr. Obama's tax plans would directly or indirectly harm U.S. investors by raising the capital gains and dividend taxes. More than half of U.S. households are equity owners, so Mr. Obama's proposal risks alienating half the population.

Mr. Obama claims to offer a tax cut to moderate-income families, but a significant portion of Mr. Obama's tax plan is a welfare giveaway costing more than $648 billion over 10 years, according to the Tax Policy Center.

How so? He would authorize a hodgepodge of refundable tax credits covering everything from education, mortgage payments, child care and other items for people who do not pay income taxes now.

About 38% of U.S. households pay no income tax today. Under a President Obama (whose policies would shave 15.3 million households off the tax rolls) that share would grow to nearly half of all American households.

We have been repeatedly told that everyone should pay their fair share. So this sounds grossly unfair and like a return of tax-and-spend liberal economics. No wonder there is a lot of doubt about the wisdom of the junior senator from Illinois.

Mr. Obama's health-care proposal is not quite HillaryCare, but it comes close. A national health insurance, heavily subsidized by taxpayers, would be offered to the currently uninsured. Mr. Obama's instincts on health care are always to move more people onto rolls of government-paid and government-mandated insurance, while depriving the marketplace the oxygen it needs for greater innovation, life-saving cures, and efficiency.

Americans have heard the refrain for government-provided health care before and know an expensive government giveaway when they see it.

Mr. Obama's energy policy is to drill less, consume less, tax more, and spend more. With barely a nod to nuclear energy -- the only meaningfully large, carbon-free source of domestic energy -- he is promising a massive increase in domestic, noncarbon-based energy from sources that produce only a fraction of our energy now.

He has also proposed massive tax increases on U.S. oil and gas companies while continuing to cut off vast swaths of U.S. territory to drilling.

Again, Americans are wiser than they are given credit. They know that if you restrict supply and tax production, prices go up.

The economic wisdom of Americans should not be doubted. They can see through Mr. Obama's proposals. They know that they will have to pick up the bill if Mr. Obama sends checks to people who already don't pay taxes; they know a centralized government-controlled health-care system will be more expensive, less efficient, and less friendly to patients and doctors. They know that the most effective way to bring down energy prices is by keeping all our energy options open, including more drilling in the U.S.

And they know that if a candidate has spent his entire career taxing more and spending more, that's what you'll get -- and more of it.

Mr. Obama is wondering why he can't shake Mr. McCain. His problem isn't his plans for the campaign. It's his plans for governing the country. Americans just aren't buying into them.

Wild Thing's comment.........

B. Hussein Obama = SOCIALISM

Whenever someone asks an Obama representative to explain ANY of Obama’s policies, they ALWAYS tell the questioner to go to the Obama website for the information. Obama nor his handlers can speak for themselves or explain any policy. It’s all smoke and mirrors.

Taxes on companies are also back door taxes on individuals. McCain should make this very point and challenge Obama to be a man about it and be upfront with the American people!

This will also effect charities too.

The Dems have nominated an amateur, and a not very talented amateur, at that.

Republican Convention 2008 Tuesday Night

Representative Michele Bachmann, has 23 Foster Children. She was one of the speakers.

Missouri delegate puts her hand over her heart on day two of the Republican National Convention (RNC) at the Xcel Energy Center in St. Paul, Minnesota

They played this music too with photos of our troops. I LOVE "Thunder" it is so perfect for showing our military. The audience LOVED it and every time it came to the part it says THUNDER, the audience would yell it out. OH yesssssssssss !

Boehner has a wonderful speaking vocie.

They had several prayers and even Bible verses were mentioned,. WOW What a difference in the two conventions. It is like one , the Democrats was held in Hell and this one, ours is held in our fantastic America.

After watching the Democrat convention last week, it felt like I was coming home to be able to see the Republican Convention last night ( Tuesday). Like a breath of fresh air.

Not living in la la land yes there were a couple of things I would have changed or left out like the Raza guy that is McCain's friend had to speak. AUGH.

BUT all in all it was a wonderful , feel good evening with a lot of people that truly show they love America and our troops and our Veterans. The audience was packed with Veterans. Once during the night they were told would everyone that has served our country in the military please stand. YEOW! I loved that part, it had to be 75 to 80 percent of the audience.

Jon Voight was in the audience and Gary Sinese narrated the video of Medal of Honor winner NAVY MA2 MICHAEL A. MONSOOR . Video showing the SEAL’s put their tridents on the coffin. Wow! Also showing President Bush crying .

Sister of Michael Monsoor sitting with Cindy McCain. As the crowd was giving them a standing ovation you could just sense that the sister was saying to herself, "I'm gonna be strong, I'm not going to cry".

Then they had the Congressional Medal of Honor recipients stand that were in the audience and more applause. Whew lots of kleenex needed by me.

Thank you God for making America the greatest country in the world

Newt Gingrich Nails It About Palin To MSNBC Jerk

Former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich stands up for Sarah Palin.

This happened last evening on the convention floor in St. Paul when MSNBC's Ron Allen said to the former Speaker, "But to be fair, her resume is not something we're familiar seeing with presidential candidates."

This didn't sit well with Gingrich who strongly replied :

It's stronger than Barack Obama's. I don't know why you guys walk around saying this baloney. She has a stronger resume than Obama. She's been a real mayor, he hasn't. She has been a real governor, he hasn't. She's been in charge of the Alaskan National Guard, he hasn't. She was a whistleblower who defeated an incumbent mayor. He has never once shown that kind of courage. She's a whistleblower who turned in the chairman of her own party and got him fined $12,000. I've never seen Obama do one thing like that. She took on the incumbent governor of her own party and beat him, and then she beat a former Democratic governor in the general election. I don't know of a single thing Obama's done except talk and write.

Newt then challenged Allen:

I'd like you to tell me one thing Sen. Obama's done.

With that, Allen retreated, and said:

Thanks very much, Mr. Speaker. I'm going to leave it there. I'm not going to argue the case. Thanks very much.

Wild Thing's comment...........

LOL Gingrich took them to pieces, he was awesome! Obama is worthless!!

The best part of the video is watching the “reporter’s” grimace as Newt starts tearing him apart limb by limb. Absolutely smashing!

Nothing Less Then Awesome Speech by Fred Thompson at Convention 2008

Former Tennessee Senator Fred Thompson's speech at the 2008 Republican National Convention.

RAW DATA: Fred Thompson’s Speech at GOP Convention

http://www.ontheissues.org/Sarah_Palin.htm

FRED THOMPSON: Thank you.

Well, my friends, as — thank you very much. As has been mentioned, our thoughts are still with our friends and fellow citizens in the Gulf Coast. And our special thanks go to those who have worked so hard to keep them safe. There can be no more important work than that. But…

(APPLAUSE)

But what we’re doing at this convention is also important to our country, because we’re going to nominate the next president and vice president of the United States of America.

(APPLAUSE)

We do so while taking a different view of our country than that of the other party. Listening to them, you’d think that we were in the middle of a great depression, that we’re down, disrespected, incapable of prevailing against challenges that face us.

Now, we know that we have challenges, always have, always will.

But we also know that we live in the freest, strongest, most generous and prosperous nation in the history of the world, and we’re thankful for that.

(APPLAUSE)

Now, speaking of the vice-presidential nominee, what a breath of fresh air Governor Sarah Palin is.
(APPLAUSE)

Now, she’s from a small town with small-town values, but apparently that’s not good enough for some of the folks who are out there now attacking her and her family. Some Washington pundits and media big-shots are in a frenzy over the selection of a woman who has actually governed rather than just talked a good game on the Sunday talk shows and hit the Washington cocktail circuit.
(APPLAUSE)

I say — I say give me a tough Alaskan governor who has taken on the political establishment in the largest state of the union and won over the Beltway business-as-usual crowd any day of the week.
(APPLAUSE)

But it’s pretty clear the selection of Governor Palin has got the other side and their friends in the media in a state of panic. And no wonder: She’s a courageous, successful, reformer who’s not afraid to take on the establishment.
(APPLAUSE)

Sound like anybody else we know?
(APPLAUSE)

She has run a municipality, and she’s run a state. And I think I can say without fear of contradiction she’s the only nominee in the history of either party who knows how to properly field dress a moose…

(APPLAUSE)

… with the possible exception of Teddy Roosevelt. OK.
When she and John McCain get to Washington, they’re not going to care how much the alligators get irritated. They’re going to drain that swamp.

(APPLAUSE)

But tonight, my friends, I’d like to talk to you about the remarkable story of John McCain. It’s a story about character.
John McCain’s character has been tested like no other presidential candidate in the history of this nation. He comes from a military family whose service goes — to our country goes back to the time of the Revolutionary War. The tradition continues.
As I speak, John and Cindy McCain have one son who’s just finished his first tour in Iraq and another son…

(APPLAUSE)

… going back for his second one on Christmas Day, I understand. And another…
(APPLAUSE)

And another son who’s putting his country first in attending the Naval Academy.
(APPLAUSE)

Now, we have a number of the McCains in the audience tonight. And I just want you to know, I understand they’ve been introduced, but I understand — I want you to understand how proud we are of you and how much we thank you for what you’re doing for your country.

(APPLAUSE)

Cindy is here with all the children. All the children are here, I believe.
(APPLAUSE)

John is also — also here tonight is John’s 96-year-old mother Roberta.
(APPLAUSE)

THOMPSON: All I got to say is if — is if Ms. Roberta had been the McCain captured by the North Vietnamese, they would have surrendered.

(APPLAUSE)

Now, John’s father was a bit of a rebel, too. In his first two semesters at the Naval Academy, he managed to earn 333 demerits. Unfortunately, John later saw that as a record to be beaten.

(LAUGHTER)

A rebellious mother and a rebellious father, I guess you can see where this is going. In high school and the Naval Academy, John earned the reputation as a troublemaker. But as John points out, he wasn’t just a troublemaker; he was the leader of the troublemakers.

(APPLAUSE)

Although — although loaded with demerits like his father, John was principled even in rebellion. He never violated the honor code.
However, in flight school in Pensacola, he did drive a Corvette and date a girl who worked in a bar as an exotic dancer under the name of Marie, the Flame of Florida.
Now, the reason I’m telling you these things — the reason I’m telling you these things are that apparently this mixture of rebellion and honor helped John McCain survive the next chapter in his life.
John McCain was preparing to take off from the USS Forrestal for his sixth mission over Vietnam when a missile from another plane accidentally fired and hit his plane. The flight deck burst into a fireball of jet fuel, and John’s flight suit caught fire. He was hit by shrapnel.
It was a scene of horrible human devastation. Men sacrificed their lives to save others that day. One kid, who John couldn’t identify because he was burned beyond recognition, called out to John to ask if a certain pilot was OK. John replied, “Yes, he was.” The young sailor said, “Thank God,” and then he died.
These are the kind of men John McCain served with. These are the men and women John McCain knows and understands and loves. If you want to know who John McCain is, if you want to know what John McCain values, look at the men and women who wear America’s uniform today.

(APPLAUSE)

The fire on the Forrestal burned for two days. Twenty planes were destroyed; 134 sailors died. John himself barely dodged death in the inferno and could have returned to the states with the ship.
Instead, he volunteered for combat on another carrier that was undermanned from having lost so many pilots, stepping up, putting his country first.
Three months later, John McCain was a prisoner of war. On October 26, 1967, on his 23rd mission over North Vietnam, a surface- to-air missile slammed into John’s A-4 Skyhawk jet, blowing it out of the sky.
When John ejected, part of the plane hit him, breaking his right leg, his right knee, his left arm, and right arm in three places. An angry mob got to him when he fell to the ground. A rifle butt broke his shoulder. A bayonet pierced his ankle and his groin.
They took him to the Hanoi Hilton, where he lapsed in and out of consciousness for days. He was offered medical care for his injuries if he would give up military information in return. John McCain said no.
After days of neglect, covered in grime, laying in his own waste in a filthy room, a doctor attempted to set John’s right arm without success and without anesthesia. His other broken bones and injuries were not treated.
John developed a high fever and dysentery. He weighed barely 100 pounds. Expecting him to die, his captors placed him in a cell with two other POWs who also expected him to die. But with their help, John McCain fought on. He persevered.
So then they put him in solitary confinement for over two years, isolation, incredible heat, beating on a tin roof, a light bulb in his cell burning 24 hours a day, boarded up cell windows blocking any breath of fresh air.
The oppressive heat causing boils the size of baseballs under his arms. The outside world limited to what you could see through a crack in the door.
We hear a lot of talk about hope these days. John McCain knows about hope; that’s all he had. For propaganda purposes, his captors offered to let him go home. John McCain refused.
He refused to leave ahead of men who’d been there longer. He refused to abandon his conscience and his honor, even for his freedom. He refused, even though his captors warned him, “It will be very bad for you.” They were right; it was.
The guards cracked ribs, broke teeth off at the gums. They cinched a rope around his arms and painfully drew back his shoulders. Over four days, every two to three hours, the beatings resumed. During one especially fierce beating, he fell, again breaking his arm.
John was beaten for communicating with other prisoners. He was beating — beaten for not communicating with so-called peace delegations. He was beaten for not giving information during interrogations.
When his captors wanted to know the names of the other pilots in the squadron, John gave them the name of the offensive line of the Green Bay Packers.

(LAUGHTER)

Whenever John was returned to his cell — walking if he could, dragged if he couldn’t — as he passed his other fellow POWs, he would often call out to them. He’d smile, give them a thumbs-up.
For five-and-a-half years, this went on. John McCain’s bones may have been broken, but his spirit never was.

(APPLAUSE)

Now, being a POW doesn’t qualify anyone to be president, but it does reveal character. My friends…

(APPLAUSE)

… this is the kind of character that civilizations from the beginning of our history have sought in their leaders.

(APPLAUSE)

Strength, courage, humility, wisdom, duty, honor. It’s pretty clear there are two questions that we’ll never have to ask ourselves: Who is this man? And can we trust this man with the presidency?

(APPLAUSE)

He’s been to — he’s been to Iraq eight times since 2003. He went seeking truth, not publicity. When he travels abroad, he prefers quietly speaking…

(APPLAUSE)

… he prefers quietly speaking to the troops amidst the heat and hardships of their daily lives.
And the same character that marked John McCain’s military career has also marked his political career. This man, John McCain, is not intimidated by what the polls say or by what is politically safe or popular.
At a point in time when the war in Iraq was going badly and the public lost confidence, John stood up and called for more troops. And now we’re winning.

(APPLAUSE)

AUDIENCE: USA! USA! USA! USA! USA! USA! USA! USA!

THOMPSON: Ronald Reagan — Ronald Reagan was John McCain’s hero. And President Reagan admired John tremendously.
But when the president proposed putting U.S. troops in Beirut, John McCain, a freshman congressman, stood up and cast a vote against his hero because he thought the deployment was a mistake. My friends, that is character you can believe in.

(APPLAUSE)

For years, members of Congress, Republican and Democrat alike, have gouged the taxpayer with secret earmark spending. Well, he has never sought an earmark.
I’ve experienced John’s character…

(APPLAUSE)

I’ve experienced John’s character firsthand. In 1993, when I was thinking of running for the Senate, I went to John for advice. He convinced me I could help make a difference for our country. I managed to win that election. And with Republican control of Congress, we reformed welfare, we balanced the budget, and we began rebuilding our military. And what I remember…

(APPLAUSE)

And what I remember most about those days is sitting next to John on the Senate floor as he led battle after battle to change the acrimonious, pork-barreling, self-serving ways of Washington.

(APPLAUSE)

Now, the United States Senate has always had more than its share of smooth-talkers and big-talkers. And, obviously, it still has.
But while others were talking reform, John McCain led efforts to make reform happen, always pressing, always moving for what he believed was right and necessary to restore the people’s faith in their government. Confronting when necessary, reaching across the aisle when possible, John personified why we all came to Washington in the first place.
It didn’t always set too well with some of his colleagues. Some of those fights were losing efforts; some were not. But a man who never quits is never defeated.

(APPLAUSE)

Because John McCain stood up, his country is better off. The respect he’s given around the world is not because of a TelePrompTer speech designed to appeal to America’s critics abroad…

(APPLAUSE)

No, it’s not that. It’s not because of that, but because of decades of clearly demonstrated character and statesmanship.
There has never been a time in our nation’s history, since we first pledged allegiance to the American flag, when the character, judgment, and leadership of our president was more important.

(APPLAUSE)

Terrorists, rogue nations developing nuclear weapons, an increasingly belligerent Russia, intensifying competition from China, spending at home that threatens to bankrupt future generations, for decades, an expanding government, increasingly wasteful and too often incompetent, to deal with these challenges, the Democrats present a history-making nominee for president, history-making in that he’s the most liberal, most inexperienced nominee to ever run for president.

(APPLAUSE)

THOMPSON: Apparently, apparently, they believe that he would match up well with the history-making Democrat-controlled Congress, history-making because it’s the least accomplished and most unpopular Congress in our nation’s history.

(APPLAUSE)

Together, they would take on these urgent challenges with protectionism, higher taxes, and an even bigger bureaucracy, and a Supreme Court that would be lost to liberalism for a generation.
This is not reform, and it’s certainly not change. It’s basically the same, old stuff they’ve been peddling for years.

(APPLAUSE)

America — America needs a president who understands the nature of the world we live in, a president who feels no need to apologize for the United States of America.

(APPLAUSE)

We need a president — we need a president who understands that you don’t make citizens prosperous by making Washington richer, and you don’t…

(APPLAUSE)

… and you don’t lift an economic downturn by imposing one of the largest tax increases in American history.

(APPLAUSE)

Now, our opponents tell us not to worry about their tax increases. They tell you they’re not going to tax your family. No, they’re just going to tax businesses. So unless you buy something from a business, like groceries or clothes or gasoline, or unless you get a paycheck from a business, a big business or a small business, don’t worry, it’s not going to affect you.

(APPLAUSE)

They say they’re not going to take any water out of your side of the bucket, just the other side of the bucket.

(LAUGHTER)

That’s their idea of tax reform. My friends, we need a leader who stands on principle. We need a president and vice president who will take the federal bureaucracy by the scruff of the neck and give it a good shaking.

(APPLAUSE)

And, my friends, we need a president who doesn’t think that the protection of the unborn or a newly born baby is above his pay grade.

(APPLAUSE)

The man who will be that president is John McCain.

(APPLAUSE)

In the days ahead — in the days ahead at this convention, you’ll hear a lot more about what John will do as president, what he’ll do with regard to the economy, on energy, on health care and the environment. It’s not my role tonight to explain that vision. It’s my role to hopefully help remind you of the man behind the vision.
Because tonight our country is calling to all of us to step up, and to stand up, and put country first with John McCain.

(APPLAUSE)

Tonight we’re being called upon to do what is right for our country, what is right for our country. Tonight we’re being called upon to stand up for a strong military, a mature foreign policy, a free and growing economy, and for the values that bind us together and keep our nation free.
Tonight we’re being called upon to step up and stand up with John, just as he has stood up for our country.

(APPLAUSE)

Our country is calling. Our country is calling.
And John McCain can’t raise his arms above his shoulders. He can’t salute the flag of the country for which he’s sacrificed so much.
Tonight, as we begin this convention, we stand with him, and we salute him. We salute his character and his courage, his spirit of independence and his drive for reform, his vision to bring security and peace in our time, and continued prosperity for America and all of our citizens.
For our own good, our children’s, let us celebrate that vision, celebrate that belief, that faith, so we can keep America the greatest country that the world has ever seen.
God bless John McCain, and God bless America.

Wild Thing's comment...........

Nick and I watched the Convention last night on C-Span. I like it better because they don't keep cutting away to the talking heads on the networks. Also you get to see more of the speechs and music and the videos they show on the huge screen.

Fred Thompson was absolutely awesome!!!! He was jaw dropping fantastic!!!

Gov. Sarah Palin On The Issues and Guns

Have Gun Will Travel Paladin

Rush Limbaugh says of Palin choice:

“It’s an inspired choice… this is absolutely fabulous.” “We’re the ones with the babe on the ticket.” “And this is a real Republican woman. This woman hunts moose.” “She is a total maverick. babies, guns, Jesus. Hot damn!"

Sarahh Palin on Gun Control

Hunts and fishes, as did her father. (Aug 2008)
Hunts as much as she can; freezer-full of wild game. (Aug 2008)
Supports ending D.C.'s 32-year-old ban on handguns. (Jun 2008)
Lifelong NRA member & champion of right to bear arms. (Feb 2008)
Supports Constitutional right to bear arms. (Nov 2006)

Her father shot the grizzly bear whose hide is now draped over the sofa in her office.

Supports ending D.C.'s 32-year-old ban on handguns

Governor Sarah Palin today lauded the U.S. Supreme Court's landmark decision upholding the right of Americans to own guns for self-defense, hunting and other purposes. The high court's 5-4 ruling in District of Columbia vs. Heller affirmed gun rights by striking down the District's 32-year-old ban on handguns.

"This decision is a victory for all Alaskans and individual Americans. The right to own guns and use them responsibly is something I and many other Alaskans cherish," Governor Palin said. "I applaud the Court for standing up for the Constitution and the right of Americans to keep and bear arms."

The state of Alaska in February joined a multi-state amicus brief written by the state of Texas in support of the Second Amendment right of individual Americans to bear arms.

Lifelong NRA member & champion of right to bear arms

Governor Sarah Palin announced the State of Alaska will join the multi-state amicus brief authored by the State of Texas in support of the Second Amendment right of individual Americans to bear arms. The Texas amicus brief in the case Washington, D.C. v. Heller will be filed by February 11, 2008.

Governor Palin, a lifelong member of the National Rifle Association, has long been a champion of the constitutional right to bear arms, as well as a proponent of gun safety programs for Alaska's youth.

"I am proud to join the State of Texas in support of the Second Amendment," Governor Palin said. "We need to send a strong message that law-abiding citizens have a right to own firearms, for personal protection, for hunting and for any other lawful purpose."

Biden and Obama the Duo Gaffe Machine~ LOL

Biden: Now is the Moment for me 'as a US Senator Running for President' to Put Aside Politics

ABC News blog

At a Scranton, Penn., Italian festival this afternoon, Sen. Joe Biden, D-Del. standing on the side of a black Suburban, took the microphone to address the downtown crowd and explain why Hurricane Gustav precluded his campaigning today.

"I will be back, I'll be back to campaign in earnest," Biden said, "but today is not the moment for me to campaign. Today is the moment for me as a United States senator running for president to put aside the national politics and focus on what's happening down there" in the Gulf Coast.

Biden has still spent more time this election cycle campaigning for president than he has running for vice president.

McCain Speaks About Gov. Palin in Interview

American Girl Proud of Her Country ~ Cindy McCain

Cindy Hensley McCain has been disparaged as a trophy wife, a Barbie, an heiress with fancy purses, even the Paris Hilton of politics. But there's more to the picture than meets the eye.

After her Dad died she became involved with his beer distributing firm and Is now the chairwoman. Sales have doubled since she has taken over from her father.

Yes, Mrs. McCain is the perfectly coifed blonde standing dutifully behind the senator during his speeches. And yes, she wears stylish clothing and carries a Prada purse. And it's true she doesn't say much. But feminist critics who write her off as a "stand-by-your-man" shrinking violet are selling her short. In many ways, Cindy McCain stacks up sturdier than Hillary Clinton or Michelle Obama. And she'd make a more impressive first lady.

While Obama's wife has been hating America , complaining about the war and undermining our troops serving in Afghanistan , McCain's wife has been worrying about her sons who actually are fighting or planning to fight in the war on terror. One, in fact, was until a few months ago deployed in Iraq during some of the worst violence. You don't hear the McCain's talk about it, but their 19-year-old Marine, Jimmy, is preparing for his second tour of duty. Their 21-year-old son, Jack, is poised to graduate from Annapolis and also could join the Marines as a second lieutenant. The couple made the decision not to draw attention to their sons out of respect for other families with sons and daughters in harm's way.

Cindy also says she doesn't want to risk falling apart on the campaign trail talking about Jimmy who was so young when he enlisted she had to sign consent forms for his medical tests before he could report for duty and potentially upsetting parents of soldiers who are serving or have been killed.

Meghan and her sister Bridget

During a visit to Mother Teresa's orphanage in Bangladesh, Cindy noticed a dying baby. The orphanage could not provide the medical care needed to save her life. So she brought the child home to America for the surgery she desperately needed. The baby is now their healthy, 16-year-old daughter, Bridget.

Cindy McCain is active with 'Halo Trust' - to clear land mines, provide water and food in war ravaged and developing countries.

Though all seven McCain children including two Sen. McCain adopted from his first marriage are supportive of their father, they prefer their privacy to the glare of the campaign trail. Another daughter, Meghan, 23,helps him behind the scenes.

Cindy McCain not only cherishes her children, but also her country, which in an election year filled with America-bashing, is a refreshing novelty. She seethed when she heard Michelle Obama's unpatriotic remarks that she only recently grew proud of America . "I am very proud of my country," Mrs. McCain asserted.

She also may be tougher than the other women in the race. While Hillary thinks she's come under sniper fire on mission trips abroad, Cindy has actually seen violence. She witnessed a boy get blown up by a mine inKuwait during a trip with an international group that removes land mines from war-torn countries.

Mrs. McCain also is a hands-on philanthropist. She sits on the board of Operation Smile, which arranges for plastic surgeons to fix cleft palates and other birth defects. She also has helped organize relief missions to Micronesia

Cindy McCain and her daughter Meghan McCain (2nd R) tour on June 19, 2008 a local hospital in central coastal Nha Trang city where US Operation Smile's doctors treat local children suffering from facial deformities. Cindy McCain joined Operation Smile's Board of Directors in April 2005.

During a scuba-diving vacation to the islands, Mrs. McCain took a friend to a local hospital to have a cut treated. She was shocked, and saddened, by what she saw. "They opened the door to the OR, where thesupplies were, and there were two cats and a whole bunch of rats climbi ng out of the sterile supplies," she recalled. "They had no X-ray machine, no beds. To m e, it was devastating because it was a U.S. trust territory." As soon as she returned home, she arranged for medical equipment and teams of doctors to be sent to treat the island children.

Michelle Obama may contribute to CARE, which fights global poverty and works to empower poor women. Cindy sits on its board.

While the Democrat women talk about helping the poor and needy, Cindy McCain actually rolls up her sleeves and does it.

Wild Thing's comment.......

What a difference in Cindy McCain and Sarah Palin compared to the unhappy, not proud of America, chip on her shoulder Michelle Obama.

The difference has nothing to do with their upbringing imo, nor finances, it has to do with what they are made of on the inside. There are a lot of people that have had similar upbringing like Michelle and they don't have a chip on their shoulder. I remember once after the Gulf War hearing a SSgt. speak , he was a black man and he gave one of the most powerful positive speeches I have ever heard. He spoke of his upbringing and it was not pretty, it was ruff and hard and he came from a place that did not encourage service to ones country but made it more important to join local gangs instead. He made a difference in this world and Michelle could too but it has to come from within.

Cindy McCain and Sarah Palin, two women that are making a difference each in their own unique way. Not because they want to be important and elitist, and above anyone else or worshiped. No, they are the way they are because they have to do what they do, it is in their DNA and character and a passion in their souls to follow their hearts in things that interest them to do things they feel strongly about. They take risks, doing new things they have not done before, meeting new challenges, getting involved, and they put themselves out there in full.

And yes they make mistakes, no one is perfect. But they learn from their mistakes and even that as Cindy has said about her pain pill addiction. She wants others to know about it might help them in some way.

They are moms and worry like other military mothers about their sons and daughters. Taking pride in their child serving our country but also having that part of them far away and in danger, the silent prayer for his/ her safety like other moms feel.

I am so proud of both Cindy and Sarah, they truly are American girls that love our country. God bless them both and their families.

Republican Convention

As of writing this post I am not sure the final decision of what the plans are. As you know I posted the schedule last week but things have changed due to Gustav. -- Wild Thing

This is the latest as of 6:20 this morning.

Delegates Supportive of GOP Convention Changes

CNBC Exclusive Interview: CNBC's Maria Bartiromo Speaks One-on-One with Vice Presidential Candidate and Governor of Alaska Sarah Palin (Transcript Included)

As delegates descended upon Minneapolis amid reports that the GOP convention would be altered in response to potentially catastrophic Hurricane Gustav, few, if any, voiced opposition to the changes.

Organizers of the Republican National Convention canceled all speeches and program activities for Monday beyond the official procedures that are required under party rules.

“It’s definitely appropriate,” Mississippi delegate Michael Cravens told FOXNews.com. “We know that while the convention is extremely important to our nation, there is nothing more important than the safety of the people affected by the hurricane.”

“When there’s a conflict between governance and politics, you have to choose governance. Neither Bush nor Cheney is on the ballot this year so I think it’s perfectly appropriate for them to be where they need to be, which is with the folks in the affected areas,” said Trey Grayson, a delegate and secretary of state from Kentucky, who agreed with President Bush’s decision to skip out on the convention and instead spend opening night Monday with evacuees and emergency responders in Texas.

"What most people don’t realize is that legally we have to have a convention. We have to nominate John McCain and Sarah Palin otherwise there’s no election in the fall,” Greyson said.

McCain / Palin Rally in Missouri Gets Enthusiastic Reception

KMOV reported on the Missouri rally: McCain spotlighted Palin at the suburban St. Louis rally -- giving her the clean-up speaking spot on a stage erected over the ballfield's home plate.

She got an enthusiastic reception from the crowd that filled the infield bleachers and spread from the dirt base paths into the outfield grass. At various times, they chanted, "Sarah, Sarah."

The ball team's president said the stadium holds about 15,000 for such concert-style events. Republican consultant John Hancock, who served as master of ceremonies for the event, estimated there were about 20,000 people

Wild Thing's comment............

They didn’t even have to throw a free concert to get people there like they do at a lot of Obama's speech's. The size of McCain's crowds have increased now since Palin is on board.

Wild Thing's comment..........

I am looking forward to seeing her in the debates. She is a nautral and will do well . She discusses ANWAR, drilling and other thing's........excellent.

One of the things I love and it is a very noticeable and important characteristic that gov. palin has in common with President Reagan is her incredible optimism and faith

She doesn't dance the questions, she actually fully and clearly said what she believes and would support without rambling on and on with a non answer like Obama is famous for and no UH's and stammering. It is so refreshing.

blogette by Meghan McCain and photos by Heather

"Yesterday was incredible. Again I got to witness history in the making, from a front row seat. Starting out the day with Dad's choice of Governor Sarah Palin as his nominee for Vice President is a moment on stage I will never forget. She and her family are so down to earth and so much fun. I could not be any luckier to have these wonderful people join us on the road. I had the pleasure of spending the day with kids Bristol, Willow, Piper and Trig. Not only do we have a new Vice Presidential nominee, but I have three new awesome girls to share the road with. I am looking forward to spending more time with them hanging out on the Straight Talk Express. It feels a bit like we're welcoming a few new blogettes to the site and my life. I couldn't be happier, more pleased or excited. This has truly been one of the best days on the trail so far. "

Wild Thing's comment......

LOL you all know how I love pictures and graphics. And to think we finally get a conservative we get to vote for. tah dah!

The photos at Meghan McCain's blog are so special of Sarah Palin and Trig her new baby. Dear God protect these families and the children. The left is so cruel and vicious.

I reallly like Meghan's blog because it is much better to have photos that are not posed and photos that show back room things that go on. Some of her other posts show the campaign on the bus, the plane and back stage where speechs have and will be made.

I am sure there will be more in the future that willl be fun to see, especially this week with the Republican Convention starting Monday.

One more thing to share with you.......never before has McCain.com raised $1 million in a day. He has donen OK but never more then $1 Million. I heard on the news that they’re STILL counting online donations - well
over $5 Million JUST online since the announcement of oSarah Palin as VP was made, and they have lots more coming in, and lots more yet to count!

Video's are from " StudentsofAmerica " it is a grassroots youth movement for young Americans, Myspacers and College Students in support of Senator John McCain and Gov. Sarah Palin.

Michel Luciano of Students for America also weighed in on why he decided to back Sarah Palin for VP, saying,

"I believe that Governor Sarah Palin's conservative credentials, fight against corruption, and stance on energy security along with her leadership experience as Mayor of Wasilla and Governor of Alaska make her the best qualified candidate for Vice President of the United States."

Obama on Gustav: Preparation 'appears to be good'

Democratic presidential candidate, Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill., left, and his vice presidential running mate, Sen. Joe Biden, D-Del., talk with reporters in Dublin, Ohio about approaching Hurricane Gustav Saturday, Aug. 30, 2008.

Obama on Gustav: Preparation 'appears to be good'

DUBLIN, Ohio

After conversations Saturday with Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal and emergency management officials about Hurricane Gustav, Barack Obama said cooperation between the local and federal government “appears to be good” but he will continue to monitor it.

“The main message,” Obama said, “is for the public in those areas that are potentially in danger to take the evacuation seriously, even if you have ridden out this storm before, even if you think that it may pass over, even if you think you can wait until the last minute, this is going to be potentially very, very serious.”

It was the second time Saturday that Obama had spoken with the press about the hurricane, now a Category 4 storm. After an evening rally here, Obama detailed his conversations with Jindal, Lt. Gov. Mitch Landrieu, New Orleans Mayor Ray Nagin and R. David Paulison, administrator of the Federal Emergency Management Agency.

“This could be gigantic in terms of in its consequences,” said Obama’s running mate, Joe Biden, who stood at his side. “Ride out of town, get out of town. Do what the governor is suggesting.”

Obama said he did not have plans to visit the area, adding: “We can be a distraction in these situations.”

He declined to say whether President Bush should attend the Republican National Convention, where he is scheduled to speak on Monday.

“I don't want to wade into the White House’s decision-making at this point,” Obama said. “The main priority has to be making sure that everything is being done on the ground to prevent a repeat of some of the tragic situations we saw several years ago. I think the White House is mindful of that, FEMA is mindful of that, and my expectation is that they are monitoring it very closely.”

Wild Thing's comment...........

First I thought why are they bothering with Obama when our side is much more fun and interesting. heh heh

But then they are the media so I guess just maybe the media could be setting him up to take credit for a successful evacuation....... since, after all, the Republicans are to be safely ensconced at the polar opposite end of the Mississippi River.

It's all about the 'O'. ( O for Zero)

"cooperation between the local and federal government “appears to be good” but he will continue to monitor it"

Oh, he'll continue to monitor it. Thank goodness! I feel better now. ( no thanks Obama)

Cindy McCain tells Stephanopoulos that Obama Offended Her

Cindy McCain tells Stephanopoulos that Obama Offended Her

ABC News' George Stephanopoulos reports: Democrats' attacks on her family's wealth are unfair and offensive, Cindy McCain said today in an interview airing tomorrow on "This Week with George Stephanopoulos."

For nearly two weeks, Democrats have repeatedly hit Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., for saying he is unaware of how many houses he owns, calling the presumptive Republican presidential nominee out of touch with everyday Americans. In his acceptance speech at the Democratic convention on Thursday, Democratic nominee Barack Obama turned up the heat on McCain, saying he "doesn't know" about the lives of middle-class Americans.

"I'm offended by Barack Obama saying that about my husband," said McCain's wife Cindy. When asked if Obama went too far in his criticism of McCain, Cindy responded, "I do. I do. I really do."

McCain also said beer the distributorship her father built, which is the source of much her family's wealth, typifies the American Dream.

"My father had nothing. He and my mother sold everything they had to raise $10,000," she said. "I'm proud of what my dad and my mother did and what they built and left me. And I intend to carry their legacy as long as I can."

More of the exclusive interview with Cindy McCain airs tomorrow on "This Week."

UPDATE: The Obama campaign is not backing down. "The fact that John McCain does not know how many houses he owns when millions are struggling to stay in the only house they have shows he's out of touch with the lives of real Americans," said Obama spokeswoman Linda Douglass Saturday afternoon. "McCain is promising to double down on the economic policies of George W. Bush which have benefited corporations and CEO's while leaving middle-class families behind. John McCain just doesn't get it."

Douglass later added that "the issue here isn't the wealth of the McCain family, it's that Senator McCain is out of touch when he says that the fundamentals of our economy are strong' and that the Bush economy has ‘made great progress' when most Americans are actually losing ground."

Wild Thing's comment...........

This will air tomorrow on "This Week".

Good for Cindy!!!! B. Hussein and Michelle Obama are jealous !

They hit with houses. You hit back with Rezko and Ayers.

The fact that her father and mother built the business means nothing to a socialist that thinks in black and white. (no pun intended but what the hey haha) And Obama allows his own brother to live in a " hut" on $1 a month.

Let's see there is Barack Obama's older brother Malik Abongo "Roy" Obama, who is a Luo activist and a militant Muslim.

Then there is Barack's Muslim brother Bernard the son of Kezia Obama who married Barack Obama Sr. in Kenya in 1957 when she was a teenager (16) before he went to the US where he fathered Barack. Bernard was born after Barack Sr. came back to Africa.

The British media was able to track down Barack's brother Mark Ndesandjo the son of Barack Obama’s late father and his third wife, an American woman named Ruth Nidesand. Mark ran an illegal firm in China.

And the Italian press discovered Barack Obama's younger brother George in a slum hut in Nairobi. He is the son of Barack Obama Sr. and Jael. ( source and article)

Obama offends ANYONE who is a red-blooded, American who understand what oppressive socialism and Marxism are, and stand for. Hussein Obama offends America and Americans. His anti-American entourage is replete with hate America and blame America first marxist socialists

Maybe Cindy should have said:

“John knows exactly how many houses we own. He was just reluctant to say because he was concerned that Obama would send William Ayers over to blow them up!!”

....Thank you Mark for sending this.

Sarah Palin at Camp Buehring, Kuwait and More Of Her History

(Gov. Palin is the one behind the gun)

In 1984, Palin was chosen as Miss Wasilla and went on to become the first runner-up in the Miss Alaska Pageant and received the Miss Congeniality award the same year. Her husband, Todd Palin was a judge in the 2008 Miss Alaska Pageant.

Champion News

CAMP BUEHRING, KUWAIT - Alaska Governor Sarah Palin (center) arms a simulated roadside bomb on the IED defeat course at the training village on Camp Buehring, Kuwait. (July 2007)

Maybe it's the frontier heritage or maybe it's the state's rugged landscape, but whatever the reason, Alaskan women seem to have more cajones than most of the men in Illinois politics.

Republican Sarah Palin was elected Alaska's first woman Governor in 2006. Now 43, she's also the youngest in state history.

Palin is something of a Renaissance Woman. She once competed in the Miss Alaska contest and she played on her high school's state championship girls basketball team. She's been a television sports reporter, a city council member and mayor. She's helped run the family's commercial fishing business and she remains married to her high school sweetheart. Earlier this month she announced she was seven months pregnant with the couple's fifth child.

Palin has one of the highest approval ratings of any Governor in America and she continues to build a reputation as one of the greatest crusaders for ethical government anywhere. She also believes in reducing the size of government. Last year she introduced a budget that cut state spending by $124 million.

While once favored by the old guard of Alaska's GOP, Palin split with the good old boys over corruption issues. Palin was elected Governor in 2006 as a maverick reformer, without the help of the entrenched party players.

Two weeks ago the Alaska Republican Party held their State Convention in Juneau and Palin rose to the occasion yet again. Under Palin's leadership, their convention was all about reforming and cleaning-up the State GOP.

Around 400 delegates registered for the 3-day event, reportedly a record. (By comparison, that's about the same size crowd that attended the Illinois GOP's State Convention in 2004, and Alaska's population is barely 5% of ours, 670 thousand vs. 12.8 million.)

Alaska is a very Red State with vastly fewer people, but on some other levels there are startling similarities to Illinois. For one thing, there seem to be a lot of ongoing federal investigations involving bigwig politicos. And just like the Illinois GOP, the Alaska GOP has been devastated by corruption.

The state's Republican National Committeeman has been under an ethical cloud, just like ours. Alaska's is Ben Stevens, the son of the longest serving Republican in the U.S. Senate, Ted Stevens.

While Ben has not been charged with any crime, it's been reported that he's under federal scrutiny. Two former executives (now convicted) of the oilfield service firm VECO Corp. have already testified they made certain payments to Stevens and others.

Last fall Palin called on Ben Stevens to resign as Republican National Committeeman. Stevens ignored those calls for early resignation, but a new National Committeeman was just selected at their State Convention. Stevens reportedly hadn't been to an RNC meeting since 2005, and he didn't show up to the State Convention.

Ben's father Ted (the GOP U.S. Senator) is also the subject of a federal probe, and in July of 2007 federal agents raided his home. Palin has called on the Senator to explain why to Alaskans. He's refused.

Then there is Republican Don Young who has been Alaska's lone U.S. Representative for 35 years. Young is probably best known outside of Alaska for securing $223 million in federal earmarks for the "Bridge to Nowhere" - a bridge nearly as long as the Golden Gate which connects Gravina Island (population less than 50) with Ketchikan (population 8,000). Last year Young's campaign spent nearly $850,000 on legal fees, but he also won't explain why.

At the start of the Convention, Palin's Lieutenant Governor Sean Parnell stunned delegates by announcing he would be making an August GOP Primary challenge against Young for the Congressional seat. Parnell, with Governor Palin at his side, then left the Convention floor to file the official paperwork. That move was reportedly very well received by the delegation.

But the Alaska State Convention probably saw the most excitement when Palin and her allies fought to remove State Party Chairman Randy Ruedrich (like our Chairman Andy McKenna, Ruedrich's regular term isn't up until 2010).

Palin parted ways with Ruedrich back in 2003 when both served on the state's Oil and Gas Conservation Commission. Palin exposed Ruedrich for ethical violations and he ended up paying a $12,000 penalty, the state's largest civil fine for an ethics case.

From media coverage it's clear Alaska's GOP Convention provided a lot of positive energy and exciting political theatre. It's also clear Alaska has some real leaders who get it.

Quotes from Palin from the convention podium and floor:

"I think we need to call on all of you assembled delegates to rise and literally even stand with me if you desire change in our party's leadership. If you believe in that change please be bold." --Governor Sarah Palin.

"We can't kid ourselves, there has not yet been restoration of the public's confidence in the Republican Party and we have got to do better." - Governor Sarah Palin.

Right before the Convention's adjournment, the delegates voted 167 to 133 to table the resolution calling for State Chairman Ruedrich's early resignation. Ruedrich told the assembled just prior to that vote that he would ignore such a resolution anyway (that also sounds familiar).

Still, the Alaska GOP had a very successful convention. They had real leaders standing-up for positive change. They elected a new and better National Committeeman. And they found out their popular Lieutenant Governor would be challenging their stayed-to-long King of Pork, GOP Congressman Don Young.

Reform minded Republicans maybe didn't get everything they wanted, but they seriously advanced the ball. The Alaska GOP is truly rebuilding. Our State GOP can't say that yet.

The only question left is why in a state with nearly 20 times the population of Alaska can't we seem to find a Republican for statewide office like Sarah Palin?

Madame 9 % Pelosi : "Palin is not the right choice"

Nancy Pelosi on McCain's veep selection: 'Palin is not the right choice'

Politicker

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-San Francisco) issued the following statement Friday on Sen. John McCain's selection of Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin as his vice presidential running mate:

"The selection of a vice presidential candidate is one of the most significant and telling decisions a presidential candidate can make.
John McCain's selection of Sarah Palin raises serious questions about his judgment. Why, when the country is fighting two wars, facing an uncertain economy and an energy crisis, did Senator McCain make the choice that he did?

Why, with so many other qualified women and men in his party, did John McCain choose Sarah Palin? Sarah Palin is not the right choice. She shares John McCain's commitment to overturning Roe v. Wade and continuing George Bush's failed economic policies.

John McCain and Sarah Palin will not bring the American people the New Direction they need."

Carter: McCain ‘Milking’ POW Experience

Former President Carter: McCain ‘Milking’ POW Experience

Former President Jimmy Carter said Thursday that John McCain is “milking every possible drop of advantage” from his time as a prisoner of war in Vietnam, USA Today reported Thursday.

Carter focused on McCain’s interview earlier this month with author and pastor Rick Warren at his parish, the Saddleback Church in Lake Forest, Calif. McCain used every question, whether it was about religion, domestic or foreign affairs, to talk about his five-and-a-half years as a POW, Carter claimed.

“John McCain was able to weave in his experience in a Vietnam prison camp, no matter what the question was,” Carter, a 7-year Naval officer, told the paper. “It’s much better than talking about how he’s changed his total character between being a senator, a kind of a maverick at the time, and his acquiescence in the last few months with every kind of lobbyist pressure that the right wing Republicans have presented to him.”

In the interview that came before Obama’s acceptance speech at the Democratic convention in Denver, Carter also talked about Obama’s challenges facing the lingering effects of racism in America, the ability of the Clintons to bring their supporters over to Obama. He also decried Sen. Joe Lieberman’s decision to “abandon” the Democrats by speaking at the Republican National Convention next week.

I would hope that the Democrats could have enough senators elected in November so that we would not any longer need to include Joe Lieberman among the senators," Carter said.

Carter called Hillary Rodham Clinton's speech at the convention Tuesday "superb" but questioned her for pointing out her accomplishments in some areas and merely saying that Obama shared those concerns.

Carter said former president Bill Clinton's speech Wednesday was "perfect." Carter said the two speeches took pressure off Obama by uniting the party and ensuring that Clinton supporters would support Obama.

Wild Thing's comment........

Traitor Carter is so full of it, if anyone milked their military experience it was Hanoi Kerry and he did it to the max. Try again peanut breath, better yet , leave the country and NEVER come back.

Next week is going to be really painful for Jimmuh.

I find it disgusting that this POS leftist appeaser who unleashed Islam terror on the world actually has a US Navy ship named after him!

Carter is a bitter, evil,. supporter of dictators washed up antisemitic hack.

Hillary Fans and "PUMAs for Palin"

You can scroll down and read the comments at Hillary's forum....... there are pages and pages of comments like the ones below.

Hillary Clinton forum

"HOPE ITS PALIN, I WOULD VOTE TWICE JUST TO STICK IT TO OBAMA"

"I'm actually very excited that women will get some serious respect in this race."

"Hoo Ray! Fu*k the DNC. Fu*k Obama. They are so fu*k up. They brushed off the women base like dirt. and the GOP pick them up. Go McCain."

"OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Buuuuurn Obama Buuuurn! What a slap in the face. If it's Palin, I will put blood and sweat into campaigning for that team."

"Leave it to the GOP to pick a woman for the ticket. Obama snubbed the most viable and experienced woman who received 18 million votes, for another MALE. I have a feeling, somewhere somehow, Hillary is snickering!"

"SHE HAS FIVE KIDS!! TRUST ME! SHE KNOWS HOW TO RUN THINGS!"

"That's it for me. I will be voting McCain/Palin, a Republican team, for the very first time in my life. YEOW, how my life has changed this year."

.....and this one had this with her comment...........

"So much for McCain being against women's rights and equal pay... I can't wait til Hillary can mutter under her breath- I TOLD YOU SO- you stupid arses! "

"They keep making this mistake again and again. The more they trash this woman the more she will get Hillary's vote."

"No surprise. CNN's treatment of Hillary Clinton tells you EXACTLY what they think about women who seek power. Shame on them."

" I have had it, my party used Roe V Wade to try to keep us all “loyal” to the party. But the truth is the Democrat party has proven that they didn’t really respect women because of the way they treated Hillary. I wrote Hillary about this and told her I will sign up again for her in 2012 and we will win. And that I want to stick it to Obama and will be voting for Palin on McCain's ticket. I have been noticing at work too the people that are against Obama are a lot nicer to me. "

And there is also this...................

Some Clinton Donors Are Contributing to McCain

ABC News

Some of Hillary Clinton's most fervent supporters are taking their enthusiasm – and their campaign contributions – to John McCain.

More than 85 of Clinton's fundraisers, including Donald Trump, Univision chief executive Joseph Uva, cable mogul Charles Dolan, philanthropist Norma Hess and one of Florida's biggest lobbyists appear to be skipping Barack Obama when it comes to writing checks for the general election, according to an ABCNews.com review of campaign finance records.

These Clinton donors have contributed at least $200,000 to McCain's campaign in the last few months, an amount which doesn't include larger contributions to the Republican joint fundraising committees.

The defecting donors, along with a significant segment (20 percent) of Clinton fans who have expressed support for McCain in recent polls, could present a problem for Obama in the general election.

That speech was amazing, but it's not going to change my mind," one Texas donor, who gave $2,300 to Clinton earlier this year and contributed $2,300 to McCain last month, told ABCNews.com. "I talk to plenty of people like me who just won't accept an unqualified president."

At least one of Clinton's HillRaisers, elite fundraisers who contributed at least $100,000 to her failed campaign, recently donated to the Republican candidate.

Charles Dolan, head of the giant Cablevision, wrote a $2,300 check to McCain on June 30 after Clinton's initial plea to help Obama.

Ronald Book, one of the biggest lobbyists in Florida who represents clients as diverse as the University of Miami and Bell South, raised $700,000 for President Clinton in recent years and contributed the maximum to Hillary Clinton's presidential campaign earlier this year.

Now, he's contributing to McCain and is leaning toward endorsing the Republican nominee. Book notes that he wouldn't give money to Obama even if the candidate took money from lobbyists.

"Obama has said a lot of stuff, but nothing with a concrete vision," says Book

..........this article is 3 pages long this is the link if anyone would like to read the entire article ........

Wild Thing's comment..........

This is so interesting to me these women have had their vote stolen from them in Florida and Mich.. They saw Hillary pushed aside by the media and Obama and they are angry. From reading the comments at Hillary's forum they are as excited as we conservatives are even though it is mostly for completely different reasons.

This will really hit Obama hard, and I am glad. He could have stopped the votes from being stolen and he said nothing, so much for respecting a persons vote. But then he is a wanna be dictator so it figures he would be like that.

John McCain, here is your Vice President

John McCain, here is your Vice President

Jewish World Review

By Nat Hentoff

In 2006, Sarah Palin became Alaska's youngest and first woman governor after having earned a reputation as a determined and successful advocate of ethics reform in politics. In the primary, she defeated an incumbent Republican governor and then a former two-term Democratic governor.

During her first year in office, as reported by the Associated Press on May 10, she "distanced herself from the old guard, powerful members of the state GOP (and) stood up to the oil interests that hold great power in Alaska, and with bipartisan support in the statehouse, she won a tax increase on the oil companies' profits."

Last December, the mother of four children, Palin, four months pregnant, found she was going to have a child with Down syndrome, a condition characterized by moderate-to-severe mental retardation. A school friend of one of my sons had Down syndrome, and I have known functioning adults with the extra chromosomes of that syndrome.

However, as a longtime reporter on disability rights, I have discovered that many fetuses so diagnosed have been aborted by parents who have been advised by their doctors to end the pregnancies because of the future "imperfect quality of life" of such children.

Palin's first reaction to the diagnosis was to research the facts about the condition, since "I've never had problems with my other pregnancies." As a result, she and her husband, Todd, never had any doubt they would have the child

"We've both been very vocal about being pro-life," she told the Associated Press. "We understand that every innocent life has wonderful potential."

In an age when DNA and other genetic-selection tests increasingly determine who is "fit" to join us human beings, we are witnessing the debate between sanctity of life versus quality of life being more often decided in favor of death. This is a result welcomed by internationally influential bioethicist Peter Singer, now a celebrated Princeton University professor, who, in July 1983, wrote in "Pediatrics," the official Journal of the American Academy of Pediatrics:

"If we compare a severely defective human infant with a nonhuman animal, a dog or pig, for example, we will often find the nonhuman to have superior capacities, both actual and potential, for rationality, self-consciousness, communication, and anything else that can plausibly be considered morally significant."

And there are bioethicists who point to the continuing costs of rearing a "defective infant." By inspirational contrast, Palin, says of her new son, Trig: "I'm looking at him right now, and I see perfection. Yeah, he has an extra chromosome. I keep thinking, in our world, what is normal and what is perfect?"

Three days after she gave birth, Palin was back in her Anchorage office with her husband and Trig. "I can think of so many male candidates," she tells the AP, "who watched families grow while they were in office. There is no reason to believe a woman can't do it with a growing family. My baby will not be at all or in any sense neglected."

Says the governor of Alaska, "I will not shirk my duties." Taking her stand for life as a holder of high political office is all the more valuable in the face of not only the termination of fetal lives as not worth continuing before they can speak for themselves, but it also puts a searching light on the growing "futility" doctrine in hospitals — affecting born people of all ages.

Nancy Valko, a medical ethicist and intensive-care nurse I consult on these lives-worth-living debates, has emphasized that "with the rise of the modern bioethics movement, life is no longer assumed to have the intrinsic value it once did, and 'quality of life' has become the overriding consideration."

Because of Palin's reputation as a maverick, and her initial reduction of state spending (including pork-barrel spending), life-affirming Palin connects with voters and has been mentioned as a possible vice presidential running mate for John McCain.

She would be a decided asset — an independent Republican governor, a woman, a defender of life against the creeping culture of death and a fresh face in national politics, described in "the Almanac of National Politics" as "an avid hunter and fisher with a killer smile who wears designer glasses and heels, and hair like modern sculpture."

Still unknown is whether Palin would be as flip-flopping as McCain on the Bush torture policy that has so blighted our reputation in the world. But we'd find out, as — if chosen as his running mate — she would create more interest in this already largely scripted presidential campaign.

And her presence could highlight Obama's extremist abortion views on whether certain lives are worth living, even a child born after a botched abortion.

Wild Thing's comment........

Great article, we are so fortunate that Sarah Palin said yes to being the VP.

John McCain's VP Pick Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin ~ Fantastic!

Announcement to be made by McCain at noon EST

Gov. Palin grew up in Wasilla, where as star of her high school basketball team she got the nickname "Sarah Barracuda"

Her rise is a great (and rare) story of how adherence to principle--especially to transparency and accountability in government--can produce political success. And by the way, Palin is a conservative who only last month vetoed 13 percent of the state's proposed budget for capital projects. The cuts, the Anchorage Daily News said, "may be the biggest single-year line-item veto total in state history."

As recently as last year, Palin (pronounced pale-in) was a political outcast. She resigned in January 2004 as head of the Alaska Oil and Gas Conservation Commission after complaining to the office of Governor Frank Murkowski and to state Attorney General Gregg Renkes about ethical violations by another commissioner, Randy Ruedrich, who was also Republican state chairman.

State law barred Palin from speaking out publicly about ethical violations and corruption. But she was vindicated later in 2004 when Ruedrich, who'd been reconfirmed as state chairman, agreed to pay a $12,000 fine for breaking state ethics laws. She became a hero in the eyes of the public and the press, and the bane of Republican leaders.

In 2005, she continued to take on the Republican establishment by joining Eric Croft, a Democrat, in lodging an ethics complaint against Renkes, who was not only attorney general but also a long-time adviser and campaign manager for Murkowski. The governor reprimanded Renkes and said the case was closed. It wasn't. Renkes resigned a few weeks later, and Palin was again hailed as a hero.

Palin, 43, the mother of four, passed up a chance to challenge Republican senator Lisa Murkowski, the then-governor's daughter, in 2004. She endorsed another candidate in the primary, but Murkowski won and was reelected. Palin said then that her 14-year-old son talked her out of running, though it's doubtful that was the sole reason.

In 2006, she didn't hesitate.

She ran against Gov. Murkowski, who was seeking a second term despite sagging poll ratings, in the Republican primary. In a three-way race, Palin captured 51 percent and won in a landslide. She defeated former Democratic governor Tony Knowles in the general election, 49 percent to 41 percent. She was one of the few Republicans anywhere in the country to perform above expectations in 2006, an overwhelmingly Democratic year. Palin is unabashedly pro life.

With her emphasis on ethics and openness in government, "it turned out Palin caught the temper of the times perfectly," wrote Tom Kizzia of the Anchorage Daily News. She was also lucky. News broke of an FBI investigation of corruption by legislators between the primary and general elections. So far, three legislators have been indicted.

In the roughly three years since she quit as the state's chief regulator of the oil industry, Palin has crushed the Republican hierarchy (virtually all male) and nearly every other foe or critic. Political analysts in Alaska refer to the "body count" of Palin's rivals.

"The landscape is littered with the bodies of those who crossed Sarah," says pollster Dave Dittman, who worked for her gubernatorial campaign. It includes Ruedrich, Renkes, Murkowski, gubernatorial contenders John Binkley and Andrew Halcro, the three big oil companies in Alaska, and a section of the Daily News called "Voice of the Times," which was highly critical of Palin and is now defunct.

One of her first acts as governor was to fire the Alaska Board of Agriculture. Her ultimate target was the state Creamery Board, which has been marketing the products of Alaska dairy farmers for 71 years and wanted to close down after receiving $600,000 from the state. "You don't just close your doors and walk away," Palin told me. She discovered she lacked the power to fire the Creamery Board. Only the board of agriculture had that authority. So Palin replaced the agriculture board, which appointed a new creamery board, which has rescinded the plan to shut down.

In preserving support for dairy farmers, Palin exhibited a kind of Alaskan chauvinism. She came to the state as an infant, making her practically a native. And she is eager to keep Alaska free from domination by oil companies or from reliance on cruise lines whose ships bring thousands of tourists to the state.

"She's as Alaskan as you can get," says Dan Fagan, an Anchorage radio talk show host. "She's a hockey mom, she lives on a lake, she ice fishes, she snowmobiles, she hunts, she's an NRA member, she has a float plane, and her husband works for BP on the North Slope," Fagan says. Todd Palin, her high school sweetheart, is a three-time winner of the 2,000-mile Iron Dog snowmobile race from Wasilla to Nome to Fairbanks. It's the world's longest snowmobile race.

Alaska governor sees 'perfection' in son with Down syndrome

The results of Gov. Sarah Palin's prenatal testing were in, and the doctor's tone was ominous: "You need to come to the office so we can talk about it."

Palin, known for a resolve that quickly launched her from suburban hockey mom to a player on the national political stage, said, "No, go ahead and tell me over the phone."

The physician replied, "Down syndrome," stunning the Republican governor, who had just completed what many political analysts called a startling first year in office.

The doctor's announcement in December, when Palin was four months pregnant, presented her with a possible life- and career-changing development.

"I've never had problems with my other pregnancies, so I was shocked," said Palin, a mother of four other children.

Once her husband got the news, he told her: "We shouldn't be asking, 'Why us?' We should be saying, 'Well, why not us?'"

There was never any doubt the Palins would have the child, and on April 18 she gave birth to Trig Paxon Van Palin.
"We've both been very vocal about being pro-life," Palin said. "We understand that every innocent life has wonderful potential."

Wild Thing's comment........

Brilliant move!

I LOVE this heh heh "she got the nickname "Sarah Barracuda" ". Out of the park, game changing home run Senator McCain.

She is a governor and has been a mayor, so she has executive experience—right there is more experience than B.Hussein Obama.

This choice will cause the dems to self-destruct.

Also pro-life! Five children, the last of which is a Downs Sybdrome child. God bless her. A hunter, pro drilling, she is also a hockey player.

"We've both been very vocal about being pro-life," she told the Associated Press. "We understand that every innocent life has wonderful potential."

Gov. Palin loves to get up in the middle of the night to go moose hunting! Now it’s a female clinging to her guns and religion!

Lifetime NRA Member

Oldest Son Joined Army on 9/11 and will be deployed to Iraq this September!!

giggle....she eats moose burgers, ice fishes, rides snowmobiles, and owns a float plane!

From CBS News’ Ryan Corsaro:

Alaska Governor Sarah Palin’s parents were called early this morning at their home in Wasilla and told to “listen to the radio” by Palin’s husband, Tim.
Palin’s father, Chuck Heath, says he and his wife were caribou hunting when they were told to come home and tune into their local radio station to hear “exciting news,” but said he did not know if his daughter was the choice for John McCain’s vice president.

“The river was swollen, so we almost didn’t get back,” Palin’s mother, Sally Heath, told CBS News.

The two said they said the call was “a wonderful surprise.”

Democrats Trash Old Glory, and YES Democrats Are NOT Patriotic!

You see each person was given a Flag, GIVEN , they did not have to buy them at some booth, they did not even have to bring them with them. The DNC had their bases covered trying to ' appear" patriotic. But it was ONLY for show and nothing more. IMO!

Flags are on seats at top of stadium at the 2008 Democratic National Convention in Denver, August 28, 2008

Old Glory gathered up and waiting to be thrown out as it rests on steps of bleechers in trash bags.

The American flag is only a prop in their propaganda message.

It shines a great big light on the fact that the core of the democrat party is all show and no substance. The things that are sacred to a majority of Americans are nothing but props to them.

Fly over country needs to see this crap again and again and again until November 4 .. there is no defense that the dims can offer that won't just keep pissing people off. If the outcome of this election is governed by symbols, this one can make a difference:

It doesn't matter if you are republican, democrat, independent, male, female, black, white, whatever. This is a symbol of America, a symbol of those who sacrificed their lives so I could sit here pounding away at my keyboard. This is truly a disgusting act. Like I said this would make a great McCain ad, “Old Glory” could be the title. Countless Patriots have died for that flag including friends and family of mine. And we should revere it because of its symbolism for FREEDOM.

Obama's Speech Bottom Line ~ His Win Will Cost Us Billions and or Trillions

Obama spoke to an audience of 84,000 ....his speech if you can stand it. LOL

A heaping plate of new government programs to be paid for by yep you go it all of us.

His spech was ineffective; because he did not give America any credit at all for being the greatest country in the world, the only country everyone turns to when they’re in trouble, and for kicking the OTHER Hussein out of existence.

During his speech he looked angry for most of it. Maybe using that as a punch to act tuff or maybe he is ticked about the Ayers ad, the home runs McCain's ad's have been hitting.

Of course he blames Bush and McCain for everything. He combined the two ( Bush and McCain ) in all his complaints.

Everytime he mentions our military I cringed and felt sick to my stomach. I don't like him even mentioning our troops or anything about our miilitary since I know he hates it.

This is a photo at the end of his speech, hello B. Hussein and Michelle, where are the smiles. haha

Lacking In Good Judgement and Experience Obama Seeks To Be Worshiped

Photoshop image by Tennyson Hayes

Greek Tragedy?

So all the buzz today was supposed to be about two big Wednesday speeches -- Bill Clinton’s and Joe Biden.

Why, then, is everyone in Denver talking about stagecraft?

It’s simple: Reporters got their first glimpse of the stage where Barack Obama will deliver his speech tomorrow night at Invesco Field. Reuters described the set as similar to a "Greek temple."

Said one Democrat: "This is a disaster of mythical proportions." Said another: "It's not enough that he wants to be president -- he wants to be Zeus." Said the first: "Will he send down thunderbolts from the mountain?"

Those are the Democrats -- though assuredly not Obama partisans. Cue the Republicans: The RNC blasted around an e-mail referring to the "Temple of Obama."

"Tomorrow you're going to see Obama come down from Olympus to be among us mere mortals," Michael Steele, the former lieutenant governor of Maryland, told reporters in Denver.

Senior Obama advisers dismiss the comparisons. There will be columns, they say, but it won’t look like a Greek temple -- or even the White House portico.
"It looks like any state capitol," one adviser tells ABC News. "It's a bunch of columns."

For the candidate who brought you his very own faux-presidential seal, this is not a good perception. Obama aides insist that the set is staying, and that it won't look as bad as it sounds right now; the real backdrop, they say, will be his supporters.

It raises anew the larger issue: After Berlin, and the "Celebrity" ads, does Obama want to accept the nomination in front of a screaming crowd of 75,000 people?

Reports indicate the stage will be configured like a Greek temple with giant pillars aligning the forum. When Obama is announced, he is expected to emerge from in between the Greek-style columns to address what certainly will be a frantic throng. There have been concerns voiced by some Democrats who believe Obama is seen as an elitist who is out of touch with common Americans. The setting for his acceptance speech will only add credence to that notion. Obama's appearance before that adoring throng will create images of the surreal.

It is an over-the-top glorification of a man who has accomplished little in public life to deserve the adulation.

Has He Lost His Mind?

by Charles Krauthammer

The Berlin folly -- in English.
The Superbowl Halftime Show -- without the game.

What's the finish? Maybe Obama’s got Zhang Yimou to do the hidden-rope trick, and have him lifted, Beijing-style, to the heavens when he’s done. Will he reappear three days later at the Bird’s Nest?

Or maybe he'll just do a Napoleon and coronate himself. By the time Napoleon made himself emperor, he had won the Battles of Lodi, of Arcole, of Rivoli, of the Pyramids and of Marengo. And had promugulated the Napoleonic Code. He had yet to write a single autobiography.

Wild Thing's comment.........

This is Obama's idea, I heard on TV that he and his camp came up with it on the plane during his Obama semi ego tour.

So much for Obama not wanting to be thought of as elitist.

UH- UH- Obama Seeks Solitude To Write Big Ole Speech

Obama Preps in Solitude for Speech

by Carrie Budoff Brown

For three days in a row, Barack Obama traded his Hyde Park home for a solitary Park Hyatt hotel room.

He needed space to think, on his own. With no aides and a small security detail, he put his pencil to his legal pad and worked on a nomination acceptance speech that pundits will inevitably compare to the 2004 Democratic National Convention address that catapulted him into political stardom.

Facing expectations much higher this time around, Obama was ensconced inside the downtown luxury hotel — alone, according to aides — preparing for the biggest speech of his career.

He worked on it for 20 hours, until past midnight each day.

“I am still tooling around with my speech a little bit,” Obama said Sunday.

In an obvious attempt to lower the bar, he said “it may not be as good as the headliners of the other three nights, but hopefully it will make clear the choice that the American people are going to face in November.”

--- snipet ---

But after campaigning in Wisconsin, Obama flew home, worked out and made the 20-minute trip from Hyde Park to the Hyatt. His motorcade disappeared into a private garage, as did Obama in the hotel for the next seven hours. He emerged at 2 a.m., sitting in the back seat of an SUV, his head either bowed in exhaustion or buried in materials on his lap.

“He can clear his thoughts and write without the distractions of home,” Obama spokeswoman Jen Psaki said.

He has collaborated with speechwriters and top aides, but with many of them in Denver already, Obama has worked alone at the hotel, Psaki said.

The late-night sessions shed light on the meticulous preparations that are going into the speech. Expectations will undoutedly build this week as the media revisits Obama's 2004 convention performance and speculate about the impact of this year's address.

“This speech requires more thought, more preparation,” Obama told the Chicago Tribune in an interview published Saturday. “I’m not focused on trying to match the soaring rhetoric or levels of excitement that we had four years ago.

"He worked on it for 20 hours, until past midnight each day."

I call this baloney!! There are only 24 hours in the day (unless Barry thinks that there are 57 hours). That gives him four hours to sleep, eat, listen to people chant his name, etc.

Obama preps........

First, look at the teleprompter on the left.

Then over to the right. Back to the left and then pause and gaze into the teleprompter in the middle.

Now stare at the crowd as they chant my name.

Back to teleprompter on the right. Then Left. Then middle.

More chanting...More teleprompters.

Update: Latest About The American Issues Project Obama Ad " Know Enough"

Counterpunch from American Issues Project Regarding their Ad that the Obama Camp does NOT want anyone to see.

American Issues Project ( AIP) sends the same message to the DOJ’s Deputy Assistant Attorney General John Keeney and turns the tables on the Chicago thugs:

Re: Response to August 25, 2008 Letter to DOJ from Obama Presidential Campaign (“Second Letter”)

Dear Mr. Keeney:

Yet again, the Obama for America campaign has sent a letter to you and your office, demanding now that the Department of Justice prosecute one of the donors to American Issues Project, Inc., (“AIP), a non-profit organization which is presently sponsoring advertisements to which the Obama campaign objects.

As stated in my letter sent in response to the Obama campaign’s first letter, AIP has not violated the law, is not violating the law and is taking every possible precaution to assure that it does not violate the law in the future.

The Obama campaign dislikes the content of AIP’s advertising – but is unable to contradict the facts contained in the ad. That is precisely why the ad is presently being broadcast by numerous television stations. It is accurate, documented, and truthful.

The Obama Campaign has specifically called on the Department of Justice to prosecute a donor to AIP, whose contribution was disclosed publicly in accordance with federal law. See 11 C.F.R. §109.10.

Information contained in AIP’s FEC Form 5, filed on August 19, 2006 was attached to the Obama Campaign’s Second Letter to DOJ and information contained in the filing forms the basis for the Obama Campaign’s latest demands of you and the Department.

The Obama Campaign’s request gives rise to a significant legal and constitutional question: that is, whether the Department of Justice would seriously undertake the prosecution of a citizen under pressure from a prominent government official / political candidate, relying on information contained in truthful and accurate government filing, disclosed in accordance with federal law. There are serious Fifth Amendment self-incrimination issues involved in a situation whereby a criminal prosecution could be ordered at will by political pressure on your Department based solely on a timely and accurate federal government disclosure.

AIP has sought and received the voluntary after-tax contributions of donor(s) to support its policy objectives, which happen to differ from those of the Obama Campaign. Rather than addressing the facts contained in the AIP advertisement, it has instead set about to “deal” with AIP through your Department.

This is, however, only the latest in a series of brazen public statements and efforts by liberal Democratic operatives and agents of the Obama Campaign to silence their critics and organizations with whom they disagree, by initiating what they acknowledge is a concerted national effort announced in recent weeks to intimidate, harass and otherwise bully conservative donors.

An organization calling itself “Accountable America” announced two weeks ago its intent to obtain publicly filed disclosures to attempt to coerce donors to conservative causes to stop making contributions and essentially threatening potential donors into not making contributions to conservative groups. Like the Obama Campaign, this group of operatives is using information obtained from legally mandated public disclosures to identify and target for their attack donors to conservative causes.

Of course, should the Department decide to yield to the pressure from the Obama Campaign and undertake its requested ‘investigations’ of donors to politically related conservative causes, the Department would necessarily be required to do so in an even-handed, non partisan and non-ideological approach. In that regard, the Department would be required to review all donors to all causes and political / policy organizations, whose contributions exceed $5,000 per calendar year to any such causes, the vast majority of which are donors to liberal causes, not conservative ones.

Based on calculations from the Center for Responsive Politics (www.crp.org ) the following are leftwing donors whose substantial contributions to political causes in the last three election cycles have consistently landed each of them on the top donors list and surely each of these donors warrant the Department’s review, scrutiny and prosecution, if the Obama Campaign standard is to be applied evenly:

George Soros:

2004: $23,450,000

2006: $ 3,542,500

2008 (to date) $ 4,650,000

Steven Bing:

2004: $13,852,031

2008 (to date) $ 4,850,000

Peter Lewis:

2004: $22,997,220

2006: $ 1, 624,375

2008 (to date) $ 850,000

Herb and Marion Sandler:

2004: $13, 008, 459

Linda Pritzker:

2004: $3,300,000

2006: $2,101,000

John Hunting:

2006: $1,647,000

2008 (to date) $1,243,000

Alida Messinger

2004: $ 3,580,200

2006: $ 1,042,000

2008 (to date) $ 883,000

Pat Stryker:

2006: $ 1,331,293

2008 (to date): $ 300,000

Jon Stryker:

2006: $ 1,271,313

2008: $ 604,054

The list is quite lengthy and this is but a partial list of those the Department would be obligated to pursue if it bows to the demands of the Obama Campaign to undertake investigations of wealthy donors making large contributions to political causes. The Obama Campaign should be aware that most of the donors on the list are individuals who consistently support left-wing, liberal and Democratic causes. And most of the donors listed above have made public statements regarding their intent to use their wealth to impact the outcome of federal elections should the Department need further evidence of their activities.

The letters from the Obama Campaign to you and your Department are a gross misuse of the power and prestige of that organization. However, because of the environment in which we function, it is important that AIP respond to the ongoing baseless allegations in the letter war now being waged against it by the Obama Campaign.

AIP has violated no provision of law. The donor(s) to AIP have violated no provision of law. However, if the Department of Justice decides to initiate investigations of donors to AIP and other conservative political and policy organizations, as well as the activities of citizens groups such as AIP, we will be prepared to counter such efforts with our list of targets and entities with which we disagree politically and philosophically for the Department to also investigate and prosecute.

Please contact me if you have any questions.

Sincerely,

Cleta Mitchell

Let's start when Obama conplained about having ears written about, then he complained about being called a liberal, then it was announced that he did not want anyone using his middle name. Then after his wife bashed America in sayiing it was the first time blah blah blah she was proud of America.........WE were told Michelle was off limits. She put herself in the political frey and then turned in to the little wife of don't pick on me I am just the wife and not running for office. BS!

Then the truth starts to come out by people other then bloggers and talk show hosts. And American Issues Project hit a home run. ALL the truth and about Obama. God forbid anyone speaks the truth about Obama from his ears to his past.

This is a sample of what it will be if he becomes President, he will control the media, the talk shows, the blogs as well. He will silence all these things if given the chance, and his reaction to this ad above proves it.

....Thank you Mark for sending this to me.

Obama Speech Stage To Resemble Ancient Greek Temple

Obama speech stage resembles ancient Greek temple

DENVER

http://www.americanissuesproject.org/

Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama's big speech on Thursday night will be delivered from an elaborate columned stage resembling a miniature Greek temple.

The stage, similar to structures used for rock concerts, has been set up at the 50-yard-line, the midpoint of Invesco Field, the stadium where the Denver Broncos' National Football League team plays.

Some 80,000 supporters will see Obama appear from between plywood columns painted off-white, reminiscent of Washington's Capitol building or even the White House, to accept the party's nomination for president.

He will stride out to a raised platform to a podium that can be raised from beneath the floor.

The show should provide a striking image for the millions of Americans watching on television as Obama delivers a speech accepting the Democratic presidential nomination.

Politicians in past elections have typically spoken from the convention site itself, but the Obama campaign liked the idea of having their man speak to a larger, stadium-sized crowd not far from where the Democratic National Convention is being held, at the Denver pro basketball arena.

Obama was taking a page from the campaign book of John Kennedy in 1960 when the future president delivered his acceptance speech to 80,000 people in the Los Angeles Coliseum.

Once Obama speaks, confetti will rain down on him and fireworks will be fired off from locations around the stadium wall.

Democratic convention organizers said the theme for the evening is "Change We Can Believe In," which has been a consistent message of Obama's presidential campaign

Oscar-winning actress and singer Jennifer Hudson will sing the national anthem that night.

Wild Thing's comment..........

Wow, talk about a huge ego. You can’t make this stuff up. This is incredible. It should be a Roman temple. The convention is more like a scene from “Caligula.”
Caligula had delusions of grandeur. Obama thinks he's the world's Colossus. Nothing is big enough to define him!

"Those whom God wishes to destroy, he first makes mad." ---Euripides

Will he waft from amidst the columns and dance, like Isadora Duncan? hmmmmm let's see there’s Zeus, Poseidon, Hades and now Obama, god of Hope. YIKES!

Obama as an effete Athenian against the Spartan McCain.

A Nairobi hut would be cheaper don't you think? hahaha

New McCain Ad on Obama ~ " Tiny"

John McCain ad out this morning called, "Tiny." It focuses on the grave threat Iran poses to the survival of Israel, and Barack Obama's lack of understanding of that danger.

Wild Thing's comment............

Regarding the last seveal ads for McCain they are definately one of the most effective advertising campaigns ever run by Republicans. I would have to go back to Reagan to recall an ad campaign as effective as these ads by McCains camp.

Clinton, Obama Agree On Roll Call Vote ~ Petitions Circulated On Convention Floor

DENVER

Hillary Rodham Clinton and Barack Obama agreed Monday to limit a divisive roll call for president, giving delegates a brief but historic choice between a black man and white woman.

The deal would allow some states to cast votes for both Obama and Clinton before ending the roll call in acclamation for the Illinois senator.

Clinton herself may cut off the vote and recommend unanimous nomination of Obama, according to Democratic officials involved in the negotiations. They discussed the deal on condition of anonymity while details were being finalized.

Some Clinton delegates said they were not interested in a compromise, raising the prospect of floor demonstrations that would underscore the split between Obama and Clinton Democrats.

"I don't care what she says," said Mary Boergers, a Maryland delegate who wants to cast a vote for Clinton.

As part of the deal, Obama and Clinton activists teamed up and circulated three petitions on the convention floor Monday night — supporting Clinton, Obama and vice presidential candidate Joe Biden. Each needed 300 signatures to be nominated.

The dealmaking indicates the divided nature of the party: Obama does not have full control over a convention that includes many delegates who are enthusiastic Clinton supporters. But both senators have an incentive to help make peace between their opposing sides — Obama so he'll have their backing in November and Clinton so she'll be well positioned for a future run.

Clinton herself said she wouldn't tell her backers how to vote, but she told them she would cast her own vote for Obama. "We were not all on the same side as Democrats, but we are now," she said.

Kathleen Kennedy Townsend, the eldest child of the late Robert F. Kennedy and a former lieutenant governor of Maryland, said the animosity that some Clinton delegates feel toward Obama "is getting worse."

Townsend, a Maryland delegate, was a strong Clinton supporter but now is fully behind Obama. She said she partly understands why some of her colleagues have not joined her yet.

"There's a moment that you want to enjoy your bitterness," she said.

Clinton advisers have been holding talks almost every day on the question of how to handle the roll call, and they were still struggling to solve the mechanics of honoring Clinton without getting bogged down in time-consuming counting.

Obama said he isn't involved in negotiations over the roll call and is letting campaign manager David Plouffe work out the details with the Clinton team.

As part of the compromise in the works for weeks, the New York senator will be the headliner Tuesday night. Her husband, former President Clinton, will speak Wednesday — part of her request that he be on a separate night, negotiators said.

An official familiar with conversations between the Obama and Clinton camps said Hillary Clinton fully realizes it would hurt her politically to be seen as anything other than 100 percent behind Obama.

Bill Clinton "is not as far along" in reconciling himself to his wife's loss, said the source, who would speak only on condition of anonymity because private conversations were involved.

However, the former president is eager to draw sharp distinctions between the policies and visions of Obama and McCain. Clinton is in discussions with Obama aides over how broad the speech should be, the source said.

It was not clear whether there would be floor demonstrations for Clinton after her name was placed in nomination, a spectacle that could detract from Obama's political coronation.

The animosity in Denver is not just on the Clinton side. Susan Castner, a Clinton delegate from Portland, Ore., said six people insulted her as she walked alone down the street Saturday night wearing a Clinton T-shirt, telling her to take it off and calling her a profanity.

"I know this is not coming from Barack Obama, but his supporters are helping us decide who to vote for" in November, Castner said. "I hate the feeling that you shouldn't wear your Hillary gear unless there are two or three of you together."

The split pales in comparison to past political convention battles like the 1980 fight between Jimmy Carter and Ted Kennedy. President Carter beat him in the primaries, but Kennedy supporters tried to take away the nomination at the New York convention. Kennedy didn't have the votes for the nomination, and at the convention finale he shunned the hugs and clasped hands that are customary at adjournment.

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, who is chairwoman of the convention, said the party must move past their primary divisions, but there should be a full roll call vote.

"I can't imagine not going into a convention and hearing 'Alabama!' and the whole world looking up to see what comes next," she said. "But as typical of these roll calls, at a certain point, somebody has the votes and the protocol and graciousness come through and that will have its own dynamic."

Wild Thing's comment........

...limit a divisive roll call for president, giving delegates a brief but historic choice between a black man and white woman.
The deal would allow some states to cast votes for both Obama and Clinton...

The way I understand this "roll call" will NOT include all the states, just in case it begins to look like Hillary will win it. A dog and pony show, they know very well if they allowed a vote the big O just might lose.

Watching the Dem Conventiion Monday night I noticed the energy level was very low, and few and far between seemed excited. From seeing a lot of the faces, many weren't even smiling, and some were down right somber, then of course others the real Obama's fans were smiiling.

Obama's Protestors Threathen TV Stations Over McCain Ad "Know Enough"

Obama Campaign Threatens Jihad Against TV Stations That Air Weathermen Ad

Obama Campaign is threatening TV stations that dare to run a controversial ad that questions Obama's friendship with unrepentant Weather Underground terrorist Bill Ayers.

The campaign of Democratic presidential nominee in waiting Barack Obama is threatening TV stations that dare to run a controversial ad that questions Obama's friendship with unrepentant Weather Underground terrorist Bill Ayers.

Politico quotes an Obama aide as saying this afternoon, "The Obama campaign plans to punish the stations that air the ad financially, organizing his supporters to target the stations that air it and their advertisers."

Politico has posted copies of letters the Obama campaign has sent to station managers and a letter the campaign has sent to the Department of Justice demanding a criminal investigation of the group that is running the ads, American Issues Project.

At the same time, the Obama campaign has released an ad respoonding to the Weathermen ad claiming Ayers' acts of terrorism happened when Obama was a child and that he has denounced the actions of Ayers.

The Obama campaign claims its supporters have sent 93,000 e-mails to the Sinclair Broadcast Group, which is airing the Weathermen ad. Sinclair faced similar threats in 2004 when it announced plans to air a critical documentary about John Kerry.

The Obama campaign is unleashing an unprecedented attack against First Amendment rights personally directed by a leading presidential candidate. Should he become president and actually have the power to carry out these threats, the Nation will be pushed to a perilous precipice.

Wild Thing's comment.............

These idiots are creating a pent up DEMAND for the very ad they are trying to squelch. Pretty soon stations will run it just because so many people want to know what the big fuss is all about.

So much for “truth” and “tolerance” they claim... They are spinning their wheels trying to figure out how to keep quiet the fact that this whole campaign is filled with Communist/Maoist/Guevera-ite/Marxist Radicals (and of course, terrorists).

Obama’s letter says the ad makes a false link between ‘The One’ and acts of terrorism. The ad does no such thing. It simply asks why does he think such terrorists are ‘mainstream’ and what does this say about his judgment

Obama's letter states there is no American Issues Project and that is also a LIE. I posted it before in my olther post introducing this video.

The American Issues Project is a 501(c)4 organization representing a coalition of conservative activists committed to raising important issues that deserve deeper examination given their impact on policy. In accordance with federal law, the American Issues Project only solicits and accepts contributions from individuals and not from any business corporation.

It really tees me off that his supporters can’t see the incredible hypocrisy these actions represent. Should Obama become President and have any real power you can bet that this will be the MO of his administration. “You can’t print anything I don’t approve of or you’ll be kicked out of the White House Press Corp. etc... etc...” Not to mention the whole “Fairness Doctrine”. One can only imagine the utter destruction of the 1st Amendment if they get their way... Scary, indeed!

Police Investigate Possible Plot To Kill Obama ~ 4 Arrested

Tharin Gartrell .....media did not have name with 2nd photo

Plot to Kill Obama: Shoot From High Vantage Point

DENVER (CBS4)

VIDEO'S at this link

CBS4 has learned at least four people are under arrest in connection with a possible plot to kill Barack Obama at his Thursday night acceptance speech in Denver. All are being held on either drug or weapons charges.

CBS4 Investigator Brian Maass reported one of the suspects told authorities they were "going to shoot Obama from a high vantage point using a ... rifle … sighted at 750 yards."

Law enforcement sources tell Maass that one of the suspects "was directly asked if they had come to Denver to kill Obama. He responded in the affirmative."

The story began emerging Sunday morning when Aurora police arrested 28-year-old Tharin Gartrell. He was driving a rented pickup truck in an erratic manner according to sources.

Sources told CBS4 police found two high-powered, scoped rifles in the car along with camouflage clothing, walkie-talkies, wigs, a bulletproof vest, a spotting scope, licenses in the names of other people and 44 grams of methamphetamine. One of the rifles is listed as stolen from Kansas.

Aurora police alerted federal officials because of heightened security surrounding the Democratic convention, Dudley said.

"Clearly we found there are federal implications -- otherwise we would not have notified them," Det. Marcus Dudley with Aurora police said. "The weapons clearly would cause great concern."

Subsequently authorities went to the Cherry Creek Hotel to contact an associate of Gartrell's. But that man, identified as Shawn Robert Adolph, 33, who was wanted on numerous warrants, jumped out of a sixth floor hotel window. Law enforcement sources say Adolph broke an ankle in the fall and was captured moments later. Sources say he had a handcuff ring and was wearing a swastika, and is thought to have ties to white supremacist organizations.

A third man -- an associate of Gartrell and Adolph, Nathan Johnson, 32, was also arrested. He told authorities that the two men "planned to kill Barack Obama at his acceptance speech."

Johnson, along with his girlfriend, Natasha Gromek, are also under arrest on drug charges.

The Secret Service, FBI, ATF and the joint terrorism task force are all investigating the alleged plot.

The U.S. Attorneys Office has scheduled a news conference for Tuesday afternoon. The U.S. Attorney in Denver said it does not believe there is a credible threat to Obama or the convention.

"It's premature to say that it was a valid threat or that these folks have the ability to carry it out," said a U.S. government official familiar with the investigation. The official spoke on condition of anonymity because the investigation is ongoing.

U.S. Attorney Troy Eid said the case was under investigation.

"We're absolutely confident there is no credible threat to the candidate, the Democratic National Convention, or the people of Colorado," Eid said in a prepared statement.

Additional information:

According to KUSA 9News:

KUSA, the NBC affiliate in Denver, is reporting that three men have been arrested in connection with a plot to assassinate Barack Obama.

According to its website, KUSA says NBC News has learned that federal officials are downplaying the arrests, saying when one of the men was arrested, he made a threat against Obama, but they do not believe it was based on any kind of plan or actually intent.

However, other sources have told 9NEWS the three men may be connected to skinheads and that it appears they were involved in an assassination plot.

Aurora Police arrested the first man, 28-year-old Tharin Gartrell of Centennial, early Sunday morning after a routine traffic stop. During the traffic stop, officers found two rifles, boxes of ammunition, one rifle scope, a bullet proof vest, walkie-talkies and methamphetamines. Gartrell is being held in the Arapahoe County jail in lieu of $50,000 bond and has a felony criminal record.

Aurora Police say a second man, 32-year-old Nathan Johnson, was arrested at 4:30 a.m. on Sunday morning at a hotel near Interstate 25 and Belleview Avenue. He is being held by Denver Police.

A third man, 33-year-old Shawn Adolf of Greeley, was arrested at Cherry Creek Hotel in Glendale on Monday. NBC News reports that when police knocked on his hotel door, Adolf jumped out a sixth floor window. He landed on an awning and then jumped down to the ground, injuring himself. He ran into nearby bushes where officers apprehended him. Authorities say he had weapons.

He was taken to Denver Health Medical Center where he was treated.

Adolf was wanted on seven outstanding warrants totally more than $1 million.

-snip-

In December 2006, he [Tharin Gartrell] pleaded guilty to felony possession of a controlled substance and received a deferred sentence.

When Gartrell was pulled over, an Aurora Police sergeant spotted him driving erratically in between lanes near East Hampden Avenue and South Parker Road at 1:30 a.m. on Sunday. He was in a rented 2008 dark blue Dodge ram truck.

Gartrell was driving with a suspended driver's license and Aurora Police say he was on probation for previous drug charges.

Wild Thing's comment...........

Why don’t these stupid racists figure out that this sort of crap will only help B.Hussein Obama! It does seem strange about the driving erratically - and apparently easily admitting that he was there to kill BO. It’s almost like he wanted to be caught. And then the 6th floor jump with only a broken ankle.

The alleged plotter fell six stories and only broke an ankle? Who is this guy? Supernazi?????

Wait I just heard on TV just now "he jumped out of the window and landed on an awning:". OK so that would break his fall so that explains why only a broken ankle.

Just a thought here.....You know there have been many ‘plots’ to assassinate President Bush over the last 8 years. The media never reports on them though and they are not leaked to the media. The only thing I ever heard was that weekly he has had death threats since he became President. Now this happens and it is getting coverage in the media. I understand why it is not a good idea to leak things like this if it had been about President Bush but with Obama iit could be used for a sympathy vote. AUGH!

Cindy McCain Heading to Republic of Georgia

Cindy McCain Heading to Republic of Georgia

Global Labor and Politics

Cindy McCain, wife of Sen. John McCain, is headed to the Republic of Georgia, where tensions between the government and Russia have sparked international concern and have become an issue on the presidential campaign trail.

McCain announced to a group of fundraisers in Sacramento that his wife was headed to the country, but the campaign did not provide any details about the trip.

McCain has been very aggressive in his condemnation of Russia's invasion of Georgia, and his campaign has been critical of Obama's more measured response when Russian tanks first pushed into the country.

McCain spokeswoman Jill Hazelbaker confirmed Cindy McCain is enroute to the nation and said she is visiting as part of the World Food Program. She said she will meet with Georgian President Mikheil Saakashvili and visit with wounded Georgian soldiers..
Cindy McCain said she has wanted to visit Georgia for "some time" and that trips like this are "an important part of what I'm about, what makes me tick."

In the Time article, McCain aides denied that the trip was specifically designed to occur during the Democratic National Convention, and specifically on the day that her counterpart, Michelle Obama, is scheduled to speak.

"She's on the phone with the World Food Program, he's on the phone with Saakashvili," McCain adviser Nicolle Wallace told Time. "It's like this great picture of what they'll be like in the White House."

Wild Thing's comment............

Cindy McCain has been very active throughout the last two decades in helping to raise awareness of injustice and poverty overseas. This is very much within her interests, and not some election year ploy. She has always she shunned publicity about the things she has done. Most of it was never in the press until McCain ran for President.

She has visited our soldiers too and to visit the wounded soldiers in Georgia is wonderful.

Michelle Obama At DNC

Wild Thing's comment..............

Michelle Obama's speech that she allegedly wrote herself, said the following phrase..........

Where the current of history meets this new tide of hope

That's pretty good, I said to myself after hearing that line except it comes from this:

Brutus:
There is a tide in the affairs of men.
Which, taken at the flood, leads on to fortune;
Omitted, all the voyage of their life
Is bound in shallows and in miseries.
On such a full sea are we now afloat,
And we must take the current when it serves,
Or lose our ventures.

Julius Caesar Act 4, scene 3, 218–224

So, she threw in "hope" , ok

Michelle hashed together some cliches, some bromides, a pinch of the trite, a tablespoon of schmaltz, stirred it with a big hypocritical spoon and voila, crap.

She hates America in the way only one who "grew up in Jesse Jackson's house" can.

In a way which only one who wrote her thesis on woe-is-me-I'll-always-be-black-first.

In a way which only one who was [no doubt] heavily influenced by Bernadine Dohrn ca. 1988, the pivotal year of Finding Hussein the Messiah.

Sorry, Michelle, only one chance to make a first impression, and you are ashamed of America.

Other then that she pledged he would end the war in Iraq, revise a sputtering economy and extend health care to all.

There was also this which I find alarming.

""We will build the world as it should be." said Michelle Obama.

Former Clinton Delegate Debra In McCain Ad

The Journal Times

ARLINGTON, Va.

U.S. Sen. John McCain’s presidential campaign today released its latest television ad, entitled “Debra.”

The ad features Waterford’s Debra Bartoshevich explaining why she supports John McCain, according to a release issued today by the McCain campaign.

A committee of the Wisconsin Democratic Party in July voted to strip Bartoshevich, a lifelong Democrat and former Clinton delegate, of her delegate status.

Bartoshevich made headlines in June when news reports indicated she would support McCain if Sen. Barack Obama was the Democratic nominee.

The ad will air in key states.

Wild Thing's comment............

My first thought on this is what I said in another post. People cannot be treated like the Democrats were treated with their votes. And the same thing with the Delegates votes. I could never be a democrat as long as I am breathing and this is just another reason why.

This is GREAT that this Debra has allowed this Video to be made. The Dems need to be taught a lesson just like our sad sack RNC needs to learn we want conservatives thank you very much.

Bad breath, stinky feet, hairy armpited women....yep the dem’s have arrived!

I wonder if those that support communism have actually lived in a communist country. I bet they have never even asked themselves why so many living under a communist rule attempt to escape to non-communist countries.

They dont realize that when/if foreign inspired Communism does come to our shores as they hope, they are the first to be executed because of their disloyalty to the United States will not be trusted by their new communist overloads, who they would have thought would be their "comrades". Those are always the first to go.

Denver Police moved in riot gear to keep protesters from blocking downtown Denver streets on August 24, 2008. (RJ Sangosti | The Denver Post)

A group of Democrat National Convention protesters have been gathering to block major arteries in downtown Denver, moving each time as police demand they disperse.

First the marchers blocked traffic at the intersection of Broadway and Colfax Avenue and briefly refused to move.

The protesters, chanting, "no more presidents, no more wars," disrupted traffic along both streets as police tried to move them into either Civic Center or Lincoln Park.

They chanted "our streets!" in front of Capitol.

The war protesters chanted "Two, four, six, eight. This is a police state!"

When the Fox News reporter ran up to Ward Churchill and asked him if he would appologize to America. All hell broke loose, with Wards bodyguards getting in the way and the reporter quickly being shoved out of the area. The crowd went nuts when they found out Fox News was there, screaming "F... Fox News!" over and over.

Why do they always want to lay down in the streets.....LOL

Wild Thing's comment...........

Notice its always the ugly, the unclean, the unkempt, the stupid. If they are so proud of what they believe in I don't understand why they want to cover their faces. That is like what the terrorists do , the same thing.

Not one of these people would I alllow on our property! But in a way they are because they are on the property of the USA! Grrrrr !

I thought since I posted the schedule for the Democrat Convention and the Republican Convention coming up I might as well post the nuts cases too that will be outside the Democrat Convention. I have no idea if they plan on showing up at the Republican Convention as well.

Connection of Obama, William Ayers and the CAC

William Ayers in t-shirt saying Cuba

Obama’s role in the Chicago Annenberg Challenge (CAC)

Extra Sources:
The Annenberg Challenge

Clarice Feldman lays out the reasons why the William Ayers/Annenberg Challenge story will seriously damage the candidacy of The One. A sample:

"...the story was that Ayers was an old professor in Mr. Obama’s neighborhood who just happened to host a fundraiser for him in 1995 which launched his political career.
Some mush was thrown in along the way about having served with him on a charity board, but Obama did not correctly describe the charity or the dates or the extent of their association on it.

The truth is that the two men worked closely together for years, beginning several months before that 1995 fundraiser. The fund Obama chaired and which was supposed to improve public education in Chicago never met its stated purpose of improving public school pupils’ performance and, in fact, probably hindered it, despite having blown through $110 million in the process. And as chairman of this group Obama funneled this money to politically useful types including Fidelistas and Maoists who like Ayers (now vice-president elect of the American Education Research Association) are working to make our public schools indoctrination centers for the left .

Once the public learns more of the CAC, will the voters decide that the manner in which Obama exercised his sole opportunity at executive authority was so good that he deserves the keys to the Oval Office? "

And this..........

Chicago Annenberg Challenge Shutdown?

A cover-up in the making?

NRO

By Stanley Kurtz

Ayers and his wife, Bernardine Dohrn were terrorists for the notorious Weather Underground. Ayers and Dohrn remain unrepentant for their terrorist past. Ayers was pictured in a 2001 article for Chicago magazine, stomping on an American flag, and told the New York Times just before 9/11 that the notion of the United States as a just and fair and decent place “makes me want to puke.”

Although Obama actually launched his political career at an event at Ayers’s and Dohrn’s home, Obama has dismissed Ayers as just “a guy who lives in my neighborhood,” and “not somebody who I exchange ideas from on a regular basis.”

...We already know a good deal about Obama’s service at the Chicago Annenberg Challenge. That information paints a disturbing picture, and one sharply at odds with Obama’s claim that Bill Ayers was just “a guy who lives in my neighborhood.”

photo of Mike Klonsky

And last but most assuredly not the least is this. The owner of the link to the blog is a Democrat but even so he wants the truth exposed about Obama. ...........

from one of his posts dated June of this year

.....it must be pointed out that a notorious ally of Bill Ayers for many years, Mike Klonsky, is an open member of the Obama campaign. Klonsky runs a blog on the official Obama website here where he claims to be a "professor of education" (the website of the Small Schools Workshop that he directs says only that he teaches some graduate courses, though it appears he was a visiting professor for one year at Nova Southeastern University in Florida in 2006-07) and says he blogs for Obama on "education politics and teaching for social justice."

Who is Mike Klonsky? Well, on one level, he might just appear to be a protege of Bill Ayers in the education world. He received, as I detail below, a $175,000 grant from the Ayers/Obama-led Annenberg Challenge to run the Small Schools Workshop that he and Ayers started in Chicago to push their school reform agenda.

But that is only half the story. Klonsky was one of the most destructive hardline maoists in the SDS in the late 60's who emerged from SDS to form a pro-Chinese sect called the October League that later became the Beijing-recognized Communist Party (Marxist-Leninist). As chairman of the party, Klonsky travelled to Beijing itself in 1977 and, literally, toasted the Chinese stalinist leadership who, in turn, "hailed the formation of the CP(ML) as 'reflecting the aspirations of the proletariat and working people,' effectively recognizing the group as the all-but-official US Maoist party." (Elbaum, Revolution in the Air, 228).

I know of no indications that Klonsky has ever expressed any regrets about that activity. Perhaps like his SDS comrade, Ayers, he, too, thinks he did not do enough back then. In my view they did more than enough.

An excellent profile of that maoist milieu is available in a book called Revolution in the Air by Max Elbaum, a first hand participant whose sympathy for the maoism of the period does not get in the way of an excellent account of these idiot savants of the left.

How is it possible that someone of Klonsky's ilk would now be playing a visible role in the Obama campaign itself on such an important issue as education policy - apparently with free reign to push his authoritarian "social justice" agenda?

Wild Thing's comment........

Can you imagine if this extensive information was presented by the media, I mean all they have to do is give these facts which are the truth. Put it out there and let people decide if they want to vote for a man like Obama or not. But instead the media has taken the road of propaganda and information control. The media by giving a lack of information is attempting to brain wash the public with non or little information about their candidate B. Hussein Obama.

We keep hearing over and over again by Wolf Blitzer ( CNN) and others how people are still saying they don't know enough about Obama. I am so sick of this, but then I see how all of us .....we seek out information, we go online and do research about all the candidates. The people saying there is not enough information about Obama as an excuse to why they have not decided are lazy and just want to be told whom to vote for. And they will get what they deserve that's for sure.

But Wolf finishes his stupidity with ......" Perhaps after the Democrat Convention the voters will know Obama better."...... LMAO Oh sure, a controlled convention of hand picked speakers giving speeches kissing up to The One will give you all kinds of NEW information...... NOT!

Remembering ...Obama Plans Muslim Summit IF He Wins

Just looking at something Obama has said he would do when he becomes President. -- Wild Thing

Obama would hold Muslim summit

PARIS (AFP)

US presidential hopeful Barack Obama has told a French magazine he wants to organise a summit of the Muslim world if he makes it to the White House.

Muslim and Western leaders would be invited to the summit for "a discussion about how we can prevent the widening misunderstandings and gaps between the Muslim world and the West," Obama said in the interview to Paris Match.

"I will ask them to join us in battling terrorism but we should also be willing to listen in terms of some of their concerns," he said in the interview to be released Thursday.

In the interview, Obama also said he wanted to shut down the US Guantanamo prison camp in Cuba and end the war in Iraq.

"As long as we are maintaining an occupation in Iraq, it's going to be hard to focus on other things," he said.

Wild Thing's comment........

Obama represents a foreign policy disaster of untold proportions. And Biden is no better, the left offers to put our country at high risk just so these two can play nice with Muslim nations.

Rudy Giuliani on "This Week" Hammers the "Obama-No Clinton" Ticket

Here is video of former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani on ABC News "This Week" discussing the Democratic ticket of Barack Obama and Joe Biden. Giuliani says the choice of Biden is a real insult to Hillary Clinton, and describes the ticket as essentially the "Obama-No Clinton" Ticket.

Wild Thing's comment............

I don’t know if Rudy is a Hillary fan, but it seems to me he is trying to rub salt in the wound with the so called feminist types. Keep them agitated—better for us.

YUK! Why does Obama always look like he is trying to kiss men and women. And just one other thing, there is no way Nicholas would go for my kissing another man on the lips. Nope nada. A hug sure, kiss on their check no problem for good friends or family, but smack dab on the lips, no way. And I am glad.

Hillary Supporters Outraged and Ready For Denver

Remember this when it happened????? Obama and his glare at Hillary then the snubbing her a few minutes later.

Some in Clinton circle 'outraged'

Evan as Hillary Clinton praised the newly-minted Democratic presidential ticket Saturday, some in her circle are furious Barack Obama did not appear to give the New York Democrat serious consideration for the No. 2 spot, or even ask for her consultation on the matter.
"Set aside that Obama said she'd be on anybody's short list, set aside anybody's feelings on whether she was deliberately snubbed and the pros and cons of whether it should be her," a former Clinton strategist told CNN's Candy Crowley. "Focus on the politics of it and you have about a quarter of Clinton loyalists still not joining the caravan…for God's sake, not to even make a show of taking her seriously is flatly stupid."

A top Clinton advisor also told CNN they were "outraged," over how the process was conducted.

"You can't put [Obama VP vetters] Eric Holder and Caroline Kennedy on an hour plane ride to Chappaqua just to check the box? They should have done it just for the optics," this person said. "Barack never even said to her, 'Here's how I envision the job'– not one discussion with her about [the position]."

"They thought her supporters were mad before? They are really mad now," this person also said. We knew it was never going to happen but you would have thought they might at least make a show of it."

Former Clinton strategist Paul Begala echoed similar frustrations on CNN Friday night.

"I think there are a lot of Hillary voters who are going to say, 'Hey, wait a minute, man You said you were going to put her on the short list. You know, you didn't even vet her. You didn't call her. You didn't seek her advice,'" Begala said. "By the way, he didn't seek President Clinton's advice either. He's actually the guy who I think picked the best vice president in American history. You would think maybe you would sort of check in with him."

Hillary fans come to terms with ticket (Not!)

http://wewillnotbesilenced2008.com/video/index.htm

Hillary Rodham Clinton’s hardy troupe of die-hards hoped against hope until the last minute—and reacted to the announcement Barack Obama had chosen Joe Biden as his running mate with a mixture of anger, resignation and gallows humor.
Hillary supporter Rep. Loretta Sanchez, (D-Calif.) predicted the move would further anger many of the New York senator’s most hardcore supporters.

The Confluence ( a pro Hillary website)

And this from ther same pro Hillary site:

"The DNC has lost its mind. Not only have they perpetrated fraud after fraud on the voters this year but they send me an email seeking my help in promoting this stupid meme that McCain doesn’t know how many houses he has. Tell me they aren’t really this clueless.
It doesn’t matter how many houses McCain has. It doesn’t matter that he doesn’t know about all of them. The point is, men who live in million dollar mansions (that they purchased with help from a convicted felon) have no right to point to the abundance of his opponent’s living arrangements. Neither one of them knows what it’s like to live in a Philly row home or a trailer park or a modest three bedroom townhouse or a California ranch. Pursuing this line of attack is a waste of time and effort.

Oh, what do I care?

Who is running the DNC these days? They are really amatuers. Someone should keep them away from sharp objects. They are a danger to themselves and others."

And there is this................

Some man named John Siegal of WeWillNotBeSilenced has been working on a documentary to expose how the game was rigged and who pays for the damage to the process.

"The information in the film is especially jarring for those who were not in caucus states, but it is information that our party must face. There is a reason why half of all Hillary voters are not currently willing to vote for Obama, and this is a big part of it.As I told my friend Rep. Lois Capps, whose son in law is Obama’s National Communications Director, it would be unfair and unethical to delegates, both pledged and super, to withhold this otherwise untold story prior to their floor votes in Denver. This is, oddly, also an opportunity for unity; if the Obama campaign stated that they played rough in a caucus system that should be abolished, it would heal a lot of wounds."

Here is an interesting Video called WE WILL NOT BE SILENCED - DOCUMENTARY PREVIEW

Please allow approx. 10 - 20 seconds for video to start buffering.

There are a few places in the video that go black ( dark ) just let it keep gonig and the visual comes right back.

And here is one last link of Hilllary people that are extremely upset and the site has even included McCain's Ad's and the information on Ayers and Rezko.

http://www.hillaryis44.com/

Wild Thing's comment...........

I believe it is quite a bit more than “some” who are outraged! I would say there are a lot of them upset.

The way their votes were stolen from them and just handed to Obama was disgusting. All to help Obama get elected in the Primary's.

....Thank you Mark for sending me information on this.

McCain's new ad echoes the grievance that Clinton voiced at the end of her campaign, and that some of her supporters still feel.

It's A Boy, It's Biden (Obama Picks Biden for VP)

Barack Obama has chosen Delaware Sen. Joe Biden to be his vice-presidential running mate.

‘Just Words’ That Joe Biden Would Like To Forget-The curse of a loose mouth and Nexis

National Review

Biden on McCain:

Biden, on a post-debate appearance on MSNBC, October 30, 2007:

“The only guy on the other side who’s qualified is John McCain.”

Biden appearing on The Daily Show, August 2, 2005:

“John McCain is a personal friend, a great friend, and I would be honored to run with or against John McCain, because I think the country would be better off, be well off no matter who...”

On Meet the Press, November 27, 2005:

“I’ve been calling for more troops for over two years, along with John McCain and others subsequent to my saying that.”

Biden On Obama:

Reacting to an Obama speech on counterterrorism, August 1, 2007:

“‘Look, the truth is the four major things he called for, well, hell that’s what I called for,’ Biden said today on MSNBC’s Hardball, echoing comments he made earlier in the day at an event promoting his book at the National Press Club. Biden added, ‘I’m glad he’s talking about these things.’”

Speaking to the New York Observer:

Biden was equally skeptical — albeit in a slightly more backhanded way — about Mr. Obama. “I mean, you got the first mainstream African-American who is articulate and bright and clean and a nice-looking guy,” he said. “I mean, that’s a storybook, man.”

"You cannot go to a 7-Eleven or a Dunkin' Donuts unless you have a slight Indian accent. I'm not joking . . ."
-- Senator Joseph Biden (D-Del)

Wild Thing's comment...........

Dang, midnight. That’s a GREAT time to break the news! They just borke this and it is after midnight. LMAO Does this mean that if Ho-Bama if he wins will be doing his State of the Union Speeches after midnight? hahaha

Bwahhaaaaaa! Biden is a walking and talking gaffe machine! OH wait Obama and Michelle are too.

I bet the Obama fans who signed up for that “first to know” text message feel duped now. Obama can’t even make the VP pick smooth. Just think of all the people waiting all day to get their text message from Obama and the cable news shows are breaking the news first. Obama was too inept to get this out in the afternoon, scheduled the announcement for 10 a.m. this morning.

I just read where Drudge had it linked. From the article - " The official who spoke did so on condition of anonymity, saying they did not want to pre-empt a text-message announcement the Obama campaign promised for Saturday morning."

Uhmm...I don't think that this 'official' is too bright. He/she did exactly that by roughly 9 hours or so.

This whole VP selection is just a continuation of the Obama hype machine. All about theater and no substance.

The man of CHANGE ( B.Hussein Obama) picks a man who has been in washington for 35 years .

Isn’t Biden the RAT who said Obama is a clean, articulate black man? This must be Obama’s way of saying thanks for the “clean, articulate” compliment. hahaha

Considering that they’re both plagiarists, they will be some pair. Joe Biden was shamed from his own presidential ambitions because he plagiarized Neil Kinnock's speeches and LIED about his class rank. He was called on this and was done.

So HO-Bama has choosen someone as arrogant and with a higher opinion of themselves as the Chosen One . LOL

MSNBC Chuck Todd just said- “Republican” Dick Lugar told Obama to pick Biden.

It shows you what a sorry state the DC GOP is in when we have our own senators trying to help RATS .

I just checked the DUmmy board, they are all crying cause they didn't get their text message! ROFLMAO! WAKE UP DUMMIES, OBAMA LIED TO YOU TOO!

Bye bye bye ..... Barack.

Let the fun begin!

Ruish Limbaugh Wants Obama-Biden Ticket

Conservative talk radio titan Rush Limbaugh relished the prospect of an Obama-Biden Democratic presidential ticket on his broadcast Wednesday.
“I really hope it’s Biden,” Limbaugh told his listeners. “You don’t want to say that too loud, but I really do hope that it’s Joe Biden, because we’ve got mountains of archival audio on Joe Biden.”

“Plus, the arrogance factor times two,” Rush added. “Biden and the Messiah would just be delicious.

University of Illinois To Release Obama Records Regarding Ayers

University of Illinois to release Obama records

WASHINGTON (AP)

The University of Illinois said Friday it is releasing records of Barack Obama's service to a nonprofit organization linked to former 1960s radical William Ayers.

Supporters of John McCain have been trying to exploit the tie between Obama and Ayers, with a conservative group spending $2.8 million on an ad focusing on Ayers. Ayers' Weatherman group took credit for bombings that included nonfatal blasts at the Pentagon and U.S. Capitol four decades ago.

The records of the Chicago Annenberg Challenge, an organization that Obama chaired and that Ayers co-founded, will be made available to the public Tuesday, the University of Illinois at Chicago said in a statement.

On Monday, National Review magazine posted an online article saying the university had initially declared that the records were open to inspection but that the university subsequently reversed its position.

On Tuesday, the university said that there had been a misunderstanding about the status of the collection.

The unidentified donor of the records notified the university about the absence of a signed ownership agreement last week.

The donor's only concerns regarding the collection are due to personal information that could include names, confidential salary information and even Social Security numbers, a university spokesman said at the time.

In its latest statement, the institution said that it now has legal authority to allow public access to the material.

In the 1990s, Ayers was instrumental in starting the Chicago Annenberg Challenge, which was awarded nearly $50 million by a foundation to help reform Chicago schools. Ayers is now a professor at the University of Illinois at Chicago.

Obama and Ayers have other ties.

Ayers held a meet-the-candidate event at his home for Obama when Obama first ran for office in the mid-1990s. Ayers and Obama live in Chicago's Hyde Park neighborhood.

Ayers and Obama served together on the board of the Woods Fund, a Chicago-based charity that develops community groups to help the poor. Obama left the board in December 2002.

The new ad sponsored by American Issues Project says that Obama and Ayers served together "on a left-wing board. Why would Barack Obama be friends with someone who bombed the Capitol and is proud of it? Do you know enough to elect Barack Obama?"

One of the board members at American Issues Project, Ed Failor Jr., was a paid consultant for McCain's campaign in Iowa last year.

In April, Obama said he "deplored" Ayers' actions in the 1960s and that "by the time I met him, he is a professor of education at the University of Illinois. We served on a board together that had Republicans, bankers, lawyers, focused on education."

Wild Thing's comment...........

Why the sudden change of heart...did they get a call from Clinton Inc.?

...The University of Illinois said Friday it is releasing records...

There is one word missing in this article though maybe on purpsose not sure.....the word missing -- "all records".

I wonder how many are missing, cleansed and redacted?

They better put an extra fire alarm in that university building over the weekend.

I did a search on Wikipedia on these folks last night and there were too many to easily count: Here is the list (links are to original article http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weatherman_(organization)

This is what we know:

How many buildings did Bill Ayers and his wife try to blow up?

Chronology of events

Do You Know Enough ( about Obama) Ad Upsetting Obama and His Camp

This Ad above is running in VA and it is ticking off Obama's team off big time. I had posted it this last Thursday and am putting it here again. heh heh

From Obama's site:

Tell Virginia TV stations this kind of garbage shouldn’t run on the public’s airwaves
Some stations are running a full-fledged attack ad from a right-wing group connected to John McCain that pulls in every baseless lie and re-hashed false assertion in the playbook to smear Barack Obama.

Contact Virginia TV stations and tell them not to let this trash pollute another election.

Our online tool will help you share your voice.

To begin, click Participate.

We’ll provide you with talking points on this potentially illegal hit ad to help guide you through the process.

This is the email that was sent out to supporters, I got it from Nicholas's brother who is unfortunately a socialist and voting for Obama. AUGH!

Supporter --

Yesterday, a right-wing smear group launched a full-fledge attack against Barack, pulling in every baseless lie and re-hashed false assertion in their playbook.

Not only that -- it turns out the ad may be illegal. Campaign finance experts are weighing in about violations of election law. And the ad is so ridiculous that CNN and even Fox News have both refused to run it.

This is exactly the kind of politics Barack is running to change.

Unfortunately, some TV stations in Virginia are running the ad right now.

Contact stations in Virginia and tell them this kind of garbage shouldn't be run on the public's airwaves -- no matter how much money they are making to run it.

John McCain claims he had nothing to do with this attack, but a former McCain consultant leads the so called 'third-party' group behind these lies.

The primary funder of the ads, Harrold Simmons, is one of the main culprits behind the Swift Boating of John Kerry and a top bundler for John McCain. The spokesman for the group also has ties to the Kerry Swift Boat attacks.

The McCain camp and the Swift Boaters must be truly desperate to change the subject from John McCain's shocking disconnect with the economic struggles of the American people.

Take action right now to make sure this trash doesn't pollute another election:

The Ad is igreat and there’s not one bit of exaggeration in the ad. Well known facts plainly stated.

LMAO I clicked on the link

Obama campaign have set up to conveniently send a message to multiple TV stations.

And it took me to this page where they have the statioins listed.

http://my.barackobama.com/page/speakout/offtheairVA?js=true

So what is a girl to do. heh heh I used their wonderfully efficient email system to send the stations a thank you for airing the ad.

My note to them:

I appreciate your running the ad on Ayers/Obama. I am disgusted by Obama’s relationship with known domestic Terrorist Bill Ayers. I’d heard about this but hadn’t seen it covered in such detail and I appreciate you running the ad. People need to know this kind of thing. Thank you for doing this public service. It helps increase my trust of the local TV media to not hide such things for political reasons.

Thank you

Obama: Russia, U.S. should not ‘charge into’ other countries

Obama: Russia, U.S. should not ‘charge into’ other countries

LYNCHBURG, Virginia

Democrat Barack Obama scolded Russia again on Wednesday for invading another country’s sovereign territory while adding a new twist: the United States, he said, should set a better example on that front, too.

The Illinois senator’s opposition to the Iraq war, which his comment clearly referenced, is well known.

But this was the first time the Democratic presidential candidate has made a comparison between the U.S. invasion of Iraq and Russia’s recent military activity in Georgia.

“We’ve got to send a clear message to Russia and unify our allies,” Obama told a crowd of supporters in Virginia. “They can’t charge into other countries. Of course it helps if we are leading by example on that point.”

Wild Thing's comment.............

Obama, you traitor go to hell. And people want this guy to be our President? Obama always kicks the U.S.A. at the end of everything he says....Good luck jackass in the election!

We cannot afford this amateur hour foreign policy when we are engaged all across the globe with potential threats!

Hey Muslim freak B. Hussein Obama, the Philippines, Midway Islands, France on June 6, 1944, etc. were sovereign territories of Imperial Japan. Normandy and Sicily were sovereign territories of the Third Reich. We should have left them alone, and avoided provoking their legitimate fascist rulers too? According to your way of thinking.

This below is so shocking to me!!!!

Eight days after the atrocities of September 11, 2001, Barack Obama wrote a piece for the Hyde Park Herald—and blamed the attacks on “a failure of empathy.”

"Even as I hope for some measure of peace and comfort to the bereaved families, I must also hope that we as a nation draw some measure of wisdom from this tragedy. Certain immediate lessons are clear, and we must act upon those lessons decisively. We need to step up security at our airports. We must reexamine the effectiveness of our intelligence networks. And we must be resolute in identifying the perpetrators of these heinous acts and dismantling their organizations of destruction."

"We must also engage, however, in the more difficult task of understanding the sources of such madness. The essence of this tragedy, it seems to me, derives from a fundamental absence of empathy on the part of the attackers: an inability to imagine, or connect with, the humanity and suffering of others. Such a failure of empathy, such numbness to the pain of a child or the desperation of a parent, is not innate; nor, history tells us, is it unique to a particular culture, religion, or ethnicity. It may find expression in a particular brand of violence, and may be channeled by particular demagogues or fanatics. Most often, though, it grows out of a climate of poverty and ignorance, helplessness and despair."

"We will have to make sure, despite our rage, that any U.S. military action takes into account the lives of innocent civilians abroad. We will have to be unwavering in opposing bigotry or discrimination directed against neighbors and friends of Middle Eastern descent. Finally, we will have to devote far more attention to the monumental task of raising the hopes and prospects of embittered children across the globe—children not just in the Middle East, but also in Africa, Asia, Latin America, Eastern Europe and within our own shores."

McCain ad "Housing Problem" Targets Obama's Glass House

The Ad: Barack Obama knows a lot about housing problems. One of his biggest fundraisers helped him buy his million-dollar mansion. Purchasing part of the property he couldn't afford. From Obama, Rezko got political favors including 14 million from taxpayers. Now, he's a convicted felon, facing jail. That's a housing problem.

It also looks like Obama has a “glass jaw”. haha

McCain Prepares Rezko Ad; Wright "Now Fair Game"; GOP 527 Attacks

The American Issues Project today announced the debut of a new television advertising campaign examining the relationship between Sen. Barack Obama and unrepentant 1960's domestic terrorist, William Ayers. The ad -- entitled "Know Enough?" -- begins with a simple, yet pointed question: "Beyond the speeches, how much do you really know about Barack Obama?"

Supported by over one hundred pages of back-up documentation and historical accounts, the American Issues Project is using this ad to shed light on Obama's friendship with Ayers, the former leader of an American terrorist group known as Weather Underground.

McCain Prepares Rezko Ad; Wright "Now Fair Game"; GOP 527 Attacks

The Atlantic

Sen. John McCain's campaign is finishing a hard-hitting television ad highlighting Barack Obama 's ties to shady Chicago land dealer Tony Rezko, the one-time Obama patron who was convicted earlier this summer of fraud.

A campaign official said that the decision to Go Rezko was Obama's. "He's opened the door to this," the official said.

The ad will be released to network news divisions in time for their broadcasts tonight.

Though McCain is widely perceived to to drawn first blood by attacking Obama's character, the official said that the difference between Obama's mocking McCain for his wealth and his shaky answer on the number of homes he owns was that McCain's charge "reflects an existential reality," where Obama's charges "attack Cindy. She owns the homes. I thought he said the wives were off-limits."

McCain strategists hope that Obama's brass knuckles punch doesn't work. "Americans don't like this class warfare stuff," the official said. They aspire to be rich, the official said. They don't aspire to eat arugala or hang out with celebrities.

Earlier in the news cycle, McCain's press team invoked Obama's friendship with a former member of the Weatherman, William Ayres, and an official said that even Obama's former pastor, Rev. Jeremiah Wright, "is now fair game." The official declined to say whether the campaign was contemplating running an advertisement linking Obama to Wright.

McCain also released a second web video mocking Obama as "The One."

A group called the American Issues Project said it launched a 2.8 million television ad buy highlighting Obama's ties to Ayres. The group calls itself "an organization representing a coalition of activists committed to raising conservative issues both during and after the election."

It includes longtime Republican activists like Ed Failor, Jr. of Iowa. Failor was a McCain adviser in the state. The ad will air in Ohio and Michigan.

Here's the script:

Narrator:
"Beyond the speeches, how much do you know about Barack Obama?
What does he really believe?

Consider this:
United 93 never hit the Capitol on 9/11.
But the Capitol was bombed thirty years before -

By an American terrorist group called Weather Underground that declared 'war' on the U.S. -

Targeting the Capitol, the Pentagon, police stations and more.

One of the group's leaders, William Ayers, admits to the bombings, proudly saying later:

'We didn't do enough.'
Some members of the group Ayers founded even went on to kill police.

But Barack Obama is friends with Ayers, defending him as, quote,
'Respectable' and 'Mainstream.'
Obama's political career was launched in Ayers' home.
And the two served together on a left-wing board.

Why would Barack Obama be friends with someone who bombed the Capitol...and is proud of it?

Do you know enough to elect Barack Obama?

American Issues Project is responsible for the content of this ad."

Wild Thing's comment............

John and Cindy McCain could own 1000 homes, so what? I could care less. There’s no showing he got any of them illegally or as a result of shady political deals.

McCain’s people aren’t playing softball. He clearly has an expert team. I hope that 527 really hits Obama with Wright again. He spent 20 years in that church and you better believe if McCain was caught dead being a member of a church pushing White supremacy he’d be dead meat. Black Liberation theology is racism pure and simple.

Obama has been going ballistic because HE got caught in a lie when he said he didn't vote for killing innocent babies after they had been aborted and might still be alive. He brought up the houses the McCain's own to try and get the press off his butt so Obama by doing that he is the one that opened the gate.

So a question for Obama, since you attacked Cindy McCain, does this mean that "Michelle Angry Mabelle" is now fair game too??? Just curious.

It's the mid 1970s and the Weather Underground Organization (WUO), a radical (and violent) offshoot of the Students for a Democratic Society.

Underground

Documentary/interviews with the Weatherman Underground while they were on the run for bombings and deaths.

UPDATE on information: For the Democrats that lurk and read this blog. ........

According to this John McCain himself dows not own any of the properties.

McCain family owns 8 properties

John McCain's family owns at least eight properties — not the seven Democrats are alleging.

Sen. McCain himself does not own any of the properties. They're all owned by Cindy McCain, her dependent children and the trusts and companies they control.

Brian Rogers, a McCain spokesman, did not question Politico's analysis, but said his boss's bungling of the how-many-homes question is a nonissue.

"Voters care a lot more about candidates' personal ethics than about how many houses or residences or doghouses that John and Cindy McCain own," he said. He questioned efforts by McCain's Democratic rival, Barack Obama, to exploit the issue, given that Obama benefited from a 2005 land deal with the wife of convicted Chicago businessman — and former Obama fundraiser — Tony Rezko that expanded the Obama family's newly purchased $1.65 million homestead.

"The reality is that Barack Obama purchased his million-dollar mansion in a shady deal involving a convicted felon, and it raises questions about his ethics and judgment," said Rogers.

Obama's Latest Ad Attack On McCain and The Response! Whoa!

Obama camp links McCain to Abramoff scandal

Abramoff Ready To Flip On Senate Dems

Barack Obama's campaign is linking John McCain to the infamous Jack Abramoff scandal that ended several Republicans' political careers three years ago in a new campaign ad hitting Georgia airwaves Wednesday.

The 30-second spot is the Obama campaign’s second negative ad in the past 24 hours.

It attacks the Arizona senator for his association with former Christian Coalition head Ralph Reed, one of the Republicans implicated in the scandal.

The ad also seems to suggest McCain didn't call Reed to testify before a Senate panel he chaired in return for political favors.

“When the Senate investigated, the senator in charge never even called Reed to testify….And that senator? John McCain. And who’s now raising money for McCain’s campaign? Ralph Reed," the ad's narrator says. "For 26 years in Washington, John McCain’s played the same old games. We just can’t afford more of the same.”

The TV spot sparked a sharp rebuke from McCain campaign spokesman Brian Rogers, who called it "ridiculous," and noted Obama's connection to Bill Ayers, the current University of Chicago professor and one-time leader of the militant group "Weather Undeground."

“If Barack Obama wants to have a discussion about truly questionable associations, let’s start with his relationship with the unrepentant terrorist William Ayers, at whose home Obama’s political career was reportedly launched," Rogers said. "Mr. Ayers was a leader of the Weather Underground, a terrorist group responsible for countless bombings against targets including the U.S. Capitol, the Pentagon and numerous police stations, courthouses and banks."

Reed, who lost a bid in 2006 for lieutenant governor of Georgia, had promoted a McCain fundraiser last week in the Atlanta area that netted the presumptive Republican nominee $1.75 million in campaign cash.

From McCain campaign:

The Corner

Please see comment from me on Barack Obama’s new ad supposedly running in Georgia:

“Barack Obama’s ad is ridiculous. Because of John McCain, corruption was exposed and people like Jack Abramoff went to jail.
“However, if Barack Obama wants to have a discussion about truly questionable associations, let’s start with his relationship with the unrepentant terrorist William Ayers, at whose home Obama’s political career was reportedly launched. Mr. Ayers was a leader of the Weather Underground, a terrorist group responsible for countless bombings against targets including the U.S. Capitol, the Pentagon and numerous police stations, courthouses and banks. In recent years, Mr. Ayers has stated, ‘I don’t regret setting bombs … I feel we didn’t do enough.’

“The question now is, will Barack Obama immediately call on the University of Illinois to release all of the records they are currently withholding to shed further light on Senator Obama’s relationship with this unrepentant terrorist?”

—McCain spokesman Brian Rogers

...They send one of yours to the hospital. You send one of theirs to the morgue. heh heh

Wild Thing's comment................

What do Obama and Osama have in common?

Friends that have bombed the Pentagon!!

Hello Obama do you really want to go there? You are playing with the big boys now Obama and you better double and tripple check your research before you bring on your attacks. hahaha

From one of my past posts..dated November 15, 2006

Sources close to the investigation say Abramoff has provided information on his dealings with and campaign contributions and gifts to "dozens of members of Congress and staff," including what Abramoff has reportedly described as "six to eight seriously corrupt Democratic senators."

With his (Obama's) list of associations and friends this is nothing less then an invitation to bring it on! LOL

Regarding McCain spokesman Brian Rogers, that is the way to play ball! Smack the indignant liberal and smack him hard! It's time to shove it back at the Socialist!

So many things to pick from this is just too juicy. Ayers, Obama was the Chairman of an organization that Ayers founded, Hamas endorsement, terrorists in Gaza funds to Obama, Rezko and also the connection through Rezko to Saddam Hussein’s Oil for Food briber, Wright, and the list goes on.

Jerome Corsi has so quietly driven the stake into the Marxist vampire’s heart the sound of the hammer hitting the stake was barely audible. This is vampire slaying. heh heh

B. Hussein Obama Attacking Fox News and Corsi

Obama personally went on the attack Wednesday on a best-selling new book that falsely describes him as a closet Muslim.
Talking about "The Obama Nation," Obama said author Jerome Corsi was just making "stuff up."

“But it gets a lot of play on Fox News,” he said to loud boos.

The news network has interviewed Corsi.

Obama said GOP attackers “will run negative ad after negative ad, attack after attack, with the goal of making you lose focus on the issues. … and focus on me and try to make me out to be a risky, scary guy.”

“Now I must say: I don’t find myself particularly scary or particularly risky," he said.

Wild Thing's comment...........

I like the calm way Corsi presents himself. It is great how Obama is totally rattled by this book then add in how Obama totally felt short last Saturday night at that interview/debate.

After all the media hype, the people fainting, the propaganda from the left day in day out about Obama it feels good to be able to see him upset like this. One more thing does anyone else find it interesting how the fainters have stopped???? hahahaha

Nicholas said when he used to play football with Elvis he asked him about the fainters at his concerts. In all the years Elvis was around the fainters never stopped and the swooning. They were for real and the ones with Obama had to be a set up and they don't pay them anymore I guess. heh heh

McCain Visits Oil Rig, Presses Obama on Offshore Drilling

Republican presidential candidate, Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., left, looks at the fish in the ocean with press secretary Brooke Buchanan during a tour the Chevron Genesis Oil Rig Platform in the Gulf of Mexico near New Orleans, La. Tuesday, Aug. 19, 2008

McCain visits oil rig, presses Obama on offshore drilling

OBAMA’S ‘CLOSE FRIEND’ A BLOODTHIRSTY MUSLIM EXTREMIST

As a dip in gas prices barely registers at the pump, presumptive Republican nominee John McCain continued his pressure on opponent Barack Obama over the politically popular policy of offshore drilling with a visit to an oil rig in the Gulf of Mexico.

“We need to start drilling offshore,” McCain said Tuesday, standing on a Chevron oil platform that pumps out 10,000 gallons of oil and 15 million cubic feet of natural gas each day. “Sen. Obama opposes new drilling. He has said it will not ‘solve our problem’ and that ‘it’s not real.’ He’s wrong, and the American people know it. I hope he’ll seize the opportunity to come out and pay a visit like this one and I think it would probably change his mind.”

Both McCain and Obama opposed offshore drilling when the campaign began. But as prices at the pump reached $4 a gallon – and polls showed a significant majority of Americans favor the idea — both men shifted their positions.

The Arizona senator has embraced the policy. His fall rival says he remains personally opposed, but would consider legislation that includes a provision expanding the practice if the compromise was required to pass comprehensive energy legislation.

"Americans across our country are hurting, as we all know, because of the cost of energy," McCain said aboard the rig. "Gas prices are through the roof. Energy costs have seeped into our grocery bills, making it more expensive to feed our families. Now as we prepare for the winter, it's time for us to be more serious about our home heating oil needs…"

“New drilling has to be part of our energy solution,” McCain said. “When I’m president there will be a whole more like this, not only here in the Gulf, but also off of our East and West Coasts.”

McCain’s original plans to visit an oil rig in the Gulf several weeks ago had to be scrapped because of Hurricane Dolly. During a Wednesday safety briefing on the rig McCain asked if anyone had ever fallen in the water. “Never,” replied offshore installation manager Joe St. Ann. “Knock on wood.”

Wild Thing's comment............

"Both McCain and Obama opposed offshore drilling when the campaign began. But as prices at the pump reached $4 a gallon – and polls showed a significant majority of Americans favor the idea — both men shifted their positions."

But Obama shifted his position much later and only after he saw his poll numbers plummet because he supports the idiotic Dem energy policy. Obama's shift was "nuanced," while McCain is visiting the rigs.

I will always give credit to a person when they see what they are doing isn't working and they change their stand on something. McCain did this and lead the way, Obama was just a copycat.

Obama: McCain 'doesn't know what he's up against'

Obama reminds me of this guy............... LMAO

Obama: McCain 'doesn't know what he's up against'

The Anchorage Daily News

A combative Barack Obama said Tuesday that Republican John McCain "doesn't know what he's up against" in this election and challenged his rival to stop questioning his character and patriotism.

Obama, campaigning in a state where he hopes to become the first Democratic presidential candidate to win in more than three decades, implored his supporters to fight for the presidency.

"Our job in this election is not just 'win,' although I'm a big believer in winning," Obama said during the rally. "I don't intend to lose this election. John McCain doesn't know what he's up against."

"He can talk all he wants about Britney (Spears) and Paris (Hilton), but I don't have time for that mess," Obama said.

His remarks carried forward a theme of feisty campaigning he debuted earlier in the day.

Addressing the Veterans of Foreign Wars convention in Orlando, Fla., Obama reaffirmed his early opposition to the U.S. invasion of Iraq and said the strategy of sending in 30,000 additional troops last year had not produced the political reconciliation necessary to achieve lasting peace in the country.

"These are the judgments I've made and the policies that we have to debate, because we do have differences in this election," Obama told the veterans. "One of the things that we have to change in this country is the idea that people can't disagree without challenging each other's character and patriotism. I have never suggested that Sen. McCain picks his positions on national security based on politics or personal ambition. I have not suggested it because I believe that he genuinely wants to serve America's national interest. Now, it's time for him to acknowledge that I want to do the same.

"Let me be clear: I will let no one question my love of this country," Obama said to applause.

McCain stood before the same audience a day earlier and said Obama :

"tried to legislate failure" in the Iraq war and had put his ambition to be president above the interests of the United States. He said the Illinois senator did this by pushing for a timetable for withdrawal of U.S. combat troops from Iraq and by voting in the Senate against a major appropriations bill to help fund the troop increase.

Responding to Obama's comments, McCain spokesman Tucker Bounds said: "Barack Obama has made it clear that unconditional withdrawal in Iraq is more important to him than victory in Iraq. That's not a criticism of his patriotism, that's a criticism of his judgment."

A decorated Vietnam war veteran and member of the Senate Armed Services Committee, Arizona Sen. McCain has sharply questioned whether the 47-year-old Obama has the experience and character necessary to serve as commander in chief.

Wild Thing's comment..........

Is that - like - a threat? What the heck does that mean? This man is off his rocker...I’m telling you...we may witness a complete nervous breakdown before this is over. He’s unstable!

Heck I question it too, so take that B. HUSSEIN Obama you ARE NOT Patriotic, not even in your dreams!

Obama is not not qualified to be John McCain's valet. Hussein is a sniveling twit .

Husseins is trying to be feisty after getting trounced at Saddleback. LMAO

A combative Barack Obama said Tuesday that Republican John McCain "doesn't know what he's up against" in this election and challenged his rival to stop questioning his character and patriotism.

What a tough guy! I'm sure McCain is shaking in his boots. LOL! Hey Obama that was 5 years in the Hanoi Hilton NOT the Hawaiian Hiltton. McCain knows what he is up against, Obama is a self-absorbed, socialist, with no core values.

"He can talk all he wants about Britney (Spears) and Paris (Hilton), but I don't have time for that mess," Obama said.

Now, is that any way to treat a Harvard education?

So B.Hussein Obama comes by his threats from his background. His Muslim background and relatives and friends.

Buyer's remorse about Obama?

"If you can spare the hours,
I can tells ya why I cowers,
at the mention of McCain.
If I was any good at thinkin'
you might think that I was Lincoln,
if I only had a brain!"

"I can hear the right wing mutters,
that all I does is stutters,
'cause I did too much cocaine!
If I could give a simple answer,
I wouldn't be the artful dancer,
if I only had a brain!"

Buyer's remorse about Obama?

Public wary of 'amateur president'

Washington Times for complete article

As we approach the final weeks of the 2008 presidential election, it is quite possible that the Democratic nominee, Sen. Barack Obama, will be elected to the highest office in the nation. The real consequences of this are difficult to know in advance, but there are some notable qualities of the Obama candidacy beyond the fact that he would become the first African American to become president of the United States.

I think the most notable is the fact that, considering his experience, Mr. Obama would be the first "amateur" to reach the Oval Office. Technically speaking, Mr. Obama is not a pure amateur, having served in the Illinois state Senate, and completed three years of his first six-year U.S. Senate term. But compared to every other major party candidate for president in the past 100 years, with the exception of 1940 Republican nominee Wendell Willkie, he has the slightest political background of any serious aspirant.

In Mr. Obama, whose primary background in politics was as a community organizer in Illinois, there is little executive experience on which to judge how he might govern. His skillful use of the caucus-system aspect of the presidential nominating process, and his endurance through a late resurgence of his major Democratic opponent in the closing primaries tell us that he has excellent political talent. His oratory before large crowds and record-breaking fundraising ability reinforces these campaign skills.

On the other hand, his behavior and response to the recent international crisis following the Russian invasion of Georgia, indicates his lack of experience in foreign affairs. His public comments were those of an amateur statesman, especially in contrast to his Republican opponent, Sen. John McCain, who had a sober, thoughtful public response.

Wild Thing's comment............

There has been so much media hype on Hussein I keep wondering why or when people will tire of having Obama shoved at them.

I worry about Obama and his potential to do heavy damage to our Constitutional republic. He is an angry guy who is used to getting his way no matter what he has to do.

DNC Credential Design Questioned ~ Democrats Are NOT Patriotic

Viewers question credential design .....DNC attendees have holograms in hand

The tickets are for Obama's speech at INVESCO Field.

Colorado 9 News

Some viewers contacted 9NEWS Saturday, questioning the design of the credentials to see Sen. Barack Obama accept the Democratic Party's presidential nomination at INVESCO Field at Mile High.

The viewers say with the stars and blue field in the lower left corner, it looks like an upside down American flag. Published flag etiquette states the stars should always be displayed in the upper left corner. An upside down flag represents an international symbol of extreme distress.

Matt Chandler with the Obama campaign says the flag is not upside down. He says it is a stylized flag designed to blend the stars on Senator Obama's shirt with the flag blowing in the wind.

Natalie Wyeth with the Democratic National Convention Committee sent 9NEWS the following statement Saturday night:

"The DNCC community credentials incorporate patriotic design elements. They do not depict an actual American flag. The DNCC has full and complete respect for the flag and all rules of display."

Wild Thing's comment...........

I am so sick of this anti-American actions, and words too from the left!!!

So the design with flag elements, not a real flag. Silly me - I interpreted it as an actual upside down flag.

How tone deaf are these people, anyway??

"The DNCC has full and complete respect for the flag ...."

Sure long as they can burn them.

An upside down flag, if I recall correctly, is a distress signal.

How else can they insult America? It just never ends! Democrats can't take a single breath of air without insulting this country.

Some Dems In House Looking Forward To Voting For Hillary

Rep.: Half of House Dems may vote Hillary at DNC

Rep. Loretta Sanchez says she’s happy for the chance to vote for Hillary Rodham Clinton at the Democratic National Convention — and she predicts that as many as half of the Democrats in the House could join her.

Just how many former Clinton supporters will vote for the former first lady during the symbolic first ballot is anybody’s guess, but each of them will be called upon to do so — whether they want to or not.

On Friday, the Obama campaign confirmed that the floor vote in Denver, intended to assuage Clinton supporters still stewing over her narrow loss, will be conducted as a state-by-state roll call. Under proposed convention bylaws, delegates would be forced to register their votes on a tally sheet with the convention secretary — the rules could be altered or suspended before the start of the convention.

“By putting her name in nomination, you're putting people on the spot,” said former delegate counter Matt Seyfang, adding a second potential drawback: “Having a roll call ... just chews into your broadcast time.”

Lower-key options were available. For example, Clinton’s name could have been entered into nomination, followed by laudatory speeches, ending with her release of delegates to Obama and proposal that he be nomination by acclamation, Seyfang said.

Said Sanchez: “I believe there are a lot of supporters for Hillary among the superdelegates, especially now that they’ve agreed to place her name in nomination. I think half the House Democrats would probably be Hillary supporters, especially women. ... I felt she was the most experienced and the best candidate and I still feel that way.”

A longtime Clinton adviser said it was “crazy” to guess at numbers but estimated that the former first lady would garner between 600 and 1,200 delegates — considerably short of the approximately 1,800 she had collected at the time of her departure from the race in early June.

“It’s a bizarre strategy,” said one Democratic strategist of the roll call. “It could backfire and show that her influence is waning. Chances are, she’s not going to have as many delegates vote for her on the floor as she had in the primary.”

Indeed, many Hillary diehards, including at least one member of the New York delegation, are reluctant to vote for Clinton after switching over to Obama.

“I think that most superdelegates, including myself, are going for Obama,” said New York Rep. Anthony Weiner, who campaigned with Clinton around the country. “I made my decision for Obama, and I’m not switching again.”

Other onetime Clinton backers are reluctant to reverse course for fear of angering their black constituents.

“My boss is totally conflicted about it — and pissed Hillary is putting us in this position,” said a congressional staffer for another New York House member. “We still haven’t made up our mind and I don’t know when we are going to.”

Another New York delegate, speaking on condition of anonymity, predicted that as much as 30 percent to 40 percent of the New York delegation would pick Clinton over Obama during the symbolic vote.

Obama's Islamist Problem

Obama's Islamist Problem

Democratic presidential candidate Barak Obama’s appearance before a large evangelical congregation in Orange County over the weekend underscored an evident imperative of his campaign: Emphasize his Christian faith and put to rest insistent rumors that he secretly adheres to the Islamic creed of his father and youth.

The effort to minimize any grounds for fearing Obama has an abiding, if covert, attachment to Islam has prompted him to risk offending Muslims in order to avoid off-message controversies and photo ops. It is, therefore, curious in the extreme that he is giving a prominent role at next week’s Democratic convention to a leader of an organization identified by the Department of Justice as a Muslim Brotherhood front organization and an unindicted co-conspirator in a terrorism financing conspiracy.

Dr. Ingrid Mattson is the president of the Islamic Society of North America (ISNA), an organization created by the radical, Saudi-financed Muslim Students Association. She will represent the Muslim community at the first-ever interfaith prayer service at a Democratic nominating convention.

Now, we know from the Holy Land Foundation (HLF) trial that ISNA is one of many Muslim Brotherhood-affiliated groups operating in America. We also know from a Brotherhood document entered into evidence in that case (which is currently being retried after the first prosecution resulted in a mistrial) that,

“The work [of Brotherhood members] in America is a kind of grand jihad in eliminating and destroying the Western civilization from within, and 'sabotaging' its miserable house by their hands and the hands of believers so that it is eliminated and God's religion is made victorious over all other religions.”

The question is why would Barak Obama’s campaign – which has prevented Muslim women wearing headcoverings from being in the background of photographs with the candidate and which recently fired a Muslim-outreach coordinator who had ties to another unindicted HLF co-conspirator – allow itself to be put in such company?

Presumably, the response will be one heard from the Bush administration: ISNA is a large, “mainstream” Muslim-American organization that is an appropriate vehicle for outreach to that community. In fact, Deputy Secretary of Defense Gordon England and former Under Secretaries of State Nick Burns and Karen Hughes are among the senior U.S. government officials who have lavished praise on the group and legitimated ISNA by meeting with Dr. Mattson and others.
The difference is that, for whatever reason, Sen. Obama clearly is exercising care about his public associations with Muslims. Given that, one would think that he would want, in particular, to avoid any actions that could be described as a “third term” for a Bush administration that has repeatedly embraced and allowed itself to be influenced by Muslim Brotherhood fronts.

Certainly, such would seem to be the message of Sen. Obama’s cashiering of Mazen Asbahi, his campaign’s erstwhile Muslim coordinator. The problem was not simply that Asbahi had served on a board with Jamal Said, who the government chose not to indict but nonetheless implicated in the HLF racketeering conspiracy in support of the terrorist group, Hamas.

It was that the board on which Messrs. Asbahi and Said served was for a company owned by yet another Saudi-funded, Brotherhood front and un-indicted coconspirator: the North American Islamic Trust (NAIT). The company, Allied Asset Advisors, is, as the Wall Street Journal put it: “a subsidiary of the North American Islamic Trust…which is supported financially by the government of Saudi Arabia, holds title to many mosques in the U.S. and promotes a conservative brand of Islam compatible with the ideology of the Muslim Brotherhood and also akin to the fundamentalist style predominant in Saudi Arabia.” NAIT is, in other words, a powerful instrument in the Islamists’ campaign to dominate and radicalize the Muslim community in America. ISNA’s Dr. Mattson is an ex officio member of the NAIT board of directors.

Another problem for Sen. Obama would have been that Allied Asset Advisors is one of a growing number of companies that engages in Shariah-Compliant Finance (SCF). This practice ostensibly eschews investments involving interest, pork, gambling and other activities considered impure by authoritative Shariah advisors.

Far from being just one of many religious-based “socially responsible” investing options, however, SCF is a vehicle for legitimating the Islamists’ repressive, totalitarian Shariah code and establishing its seditious tenet that Muslims here will not be governed by the U.S. Constitution and laws.

Whatever the reasons for the Democratic presidential candidate’s sensitivities about the Islamic faith, he has an obligation to make clear his attitude towards the Muslim Brotherhood, its mission in America and his willingness to be associated with its front organizations.

It is still the case that most Muslims in this country do not want any part of Shariah law. It behooves Sen. Obama to make known now whether he is willing to embrace those who do, and his true attitude towards their ambition to impose the Islamists’ barbaric code here through such subterfuges as Shariah-Compliant Finance.

Wild Thing's comment..............

I honestly believe Obama’s Primary religion is “OBAMA!” I believe Obama’s mind is so shallow and infintile and his ego so deliriously beserk, that he can only worship himself, the delusionsionally warped Osama Obama HUSSEIN!
But the evidence supports that Obama is Muslim inside and Muslim outside. His Mentor Rev. Wright is now proven to have been a Black Muslim and a close follower and associate of Loius Farrakkon before founding his “Christian Church”. My proof was when Quaddaffi of Libya came out and declared

Obama a Great Prophet of Islam and an Excellent Muslim.

Obama's Rapid Response Backfires

Obama's Rapid Response Backfires

http://www.rickwarrennews.com/transcript/

Barack Obama's fierce attack on Jerome Corsi's best-selling book, "The Obama Nation," has backfired. He has been forced to confirm things he'd hoped would stay buried.

Obama, for example, for the first time has acknowledged that the mysterious "Frank" in his 1995 autobiography, "Dreams From My Father," is in fact Communist Party USA member Frank Marshall Davis, who during the height of the Cold War was investigated by both the FBI and Congress as a pawn of Moscow.

As we've noted, the late Davis was Obama's early mentor with whom he shared whiskey and rage while growing up in Hawaii. The militant black poet influenced the young Obama's decision to become a pro-labor community organizer and agitator in his hometown of Chicago.

Corsi writes about Davis in his critical new book, "The Obama Nation," which has hit No. 1 on the New York Times best-seller list. In an unusual 40-page rebuttal posted on his campaign Web site, Obama tries to smear the entire book as a "series of lies."

Only, Corsi's book is basically a critique of Obama's own first book, "Dreams From My Father," written in 1995. It finds hole after hole in the narrative. Dates don't add up. Stories don't square with reality. Identities of central characters like Davis are hidden from view.

In his angrily worded report, Obama attempts to play down the influence Corsi says Davis had on him. But he doesn't dispute anything the book documents about Davis' un-American activities with the Soviets.

Instead, Obama takes issue with Corsi claiming Davis' angry poems provided "a voice for Obama's black rage." He calls it a "lie."

In fact, Obama's own words appear to support the claim. On Page 171 of "Dreams," Obama flies into a fit over chronic black poverty in Chicago's South Side, blaming whites who took flight to the crime-free suburbs and took jobs with them. He's overcome by the same black rage Davis radiated in his Waikiki bungalow years earlier.

Obama took to heart Davis' advice to "keep your eyes open" to signs of institutional racism. He became race-conscious like never before. He admits he never "let it go," even when he could see that overt racism was a thing of the past.

But that wasn't even the point Corsi was making in his section on Davis, which he subtitled "Obama's Communist Mentor." The issue of black rage was a side point. The main point is Davis' communist influence, something voters have a right to know more about.

Obama in his rebuttal leaves that point completely unaddressed. He doesn't want to go there — for obvious reasons.

Obama's rapid response to Corsi's alleged "swift-boating" backfires again in the same report when he defends his wife, Michelle, against the charge that she was influenced by another black Marxist revolutionist, Stokely Carmichael, in formulating her Princeton thesis on black separatism.

Again, Obama calls it a "lie." But turning to Page 139 of his memoir, "Dreams," we find that he himself was inspired by Carmichael, a civil rights leader turned militant black nationalist. Changing his name to Kwame Toure, Carmichael wrote a book on "Black Power" that propounds an explicitly socialist, Pan-African vision.

While living in New York, Obama says he was in "search of some inspiration" one day and "went to hear Kwame Toure, formerly Stokely Carmichael of SNCC and Black Power fame, speak at Columbia." He clearly knew the background of the source for his inspiration that day.

"At the entrance to the auditorium, two women, one black, one Asian, were selling Marxist literature and arguing with each other about Trotsky's place in history," he wrote, describing the scene. "Inside, Toure was proposing a program to establish economic ties between Africa and Harlem that would circumvent white capitalist imperialism."

Obama, who has family in Kenya, is proposing his own bailout of Africa.

Obama wants to run from this radical past, but his first memoir — written long before he had serious White House aspirations — is a peek into his soul. "Dreams" has become more of a nightmare, and he may just come to regret ever writing it.

Wild Thing's comment..........

Democrat Convention Obama’s Image To Be All-American

For Convention, Obama’s Image Is All-American

New York Times ....for complete article

One of the first images prime-time viewers will see of the Democratic National Convention next week is that of Michelle Obama, who will begin the four-day introduction of her husband, and her family, on her terms.

Through four nights there will be testimonials from family members like Mr. Obama’s wife and sister who will tell his “very American story,” in the words of one adviser, and from party luminaries like Senator Edward M. Kennedy (by videotape) and former President Bill Clinton (live) who will give Mr. Obama, the presumptive presidential nominee, the imprimatur of the party establishment.

At the convention beginning next Monday in Denver, there will be appearances by lesser known “Americans from all walks of life, from across the country” speaking about their support for Mr. Obama. Combined with a film featuring the candidate in all-American scenes by Davis Guggenheim — the director of “An Inconvenient Truth” whose father produced a similar biographical film for Robert F. Kennedy — aides to Mr. Obama are using the convention to tackle what members of both parties see as his greatest vulnerability with undecided voters: his “otherness.”

-----------

Campaign aides and outside advisers, however, have grappled with how far convention speakers, including the candidate himself, should go in explicitly addressing race and the historic nature of his candidacy, particularly as Mr. Obama accepts the nomination on the 45th anniversary of the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s “I Have A Dream” speech.

“There are two overriding strategic imperatives for the convention: One is to make people comfortable with Barack Obama,” said Mark Mellman, a Democratic pollster who served as a top strategist for Senator John Kerry’s presidential race in 2004. “The other is to define the race clearly and define Barack Obama as change and McCain as a continuation of Bush’s policies at home and abroad.”

-----------

None of this is to leave out Mr. Obama’s solid base of enthusiastic supporters. Advisers to Mr. Obama said the gathering was built around specific tasks aimed at capitalizing on their excitement.

For instance, when people arrive at the stadium in the hours leading up to Mr. Obama’s acceptance speech, they will be urged to call or send text messages to their friends and neighbors back home, sharing pro-Obama messages or asking them to watch the speech. The idea is to turn the football stadium into a giant phone bank.

“We always look for opportunities to put our people to work and not just have them sit idle and listen to speeches,” said Steve Hildebrand, the deputy campaign manager.

On Abortion:

McCain

Obama

Among the points they made:( this is from my notes so some are missing exact quotes)

-Their greatest moral failure.

“The failure of my first marriage,” said McCain. “It’s my greatest moral failure.”

Obama said he experimented with drugs and drank during a “difficult” youth when his father had left and he himself was overly selfish. “I couldn’t focus on other people,” he said.

-Most gut-wrenching decision

McCain said it was when he refused early release from a North Vietnamese prison camp because it would have put him ahead of fellow American prisoners in violation of their code of conduct. “It took a lot of prayer,” he said.

Obama said it was opposing the war in Iraq at a time it was politically risky and he believed that Saddam Hussein did mean to harm the United States. However, he said he did not believe that Saddam had weapons of mass destruction.

-On the meaning of their own Christianity

“It means I’m saved and forgiven,” said McCain.

He told how his faith sustained him while a prisoner of war in Vietnam, telling how one of his captors treated him humanely and once secretly drew a cross in the dirt to signal his own faith. “It was just two Christians worshipping together,” he said.

“It means I believe that Jesus Christ died for my sins and that I am redeemed through him,” said Obama. “That is a source of strength and sustenance. ... I know that I don’t walk alone.”

He said that influences his belief that people should think about helping the needy.

-The three wisest people they would consult as president

McCain listed Gen. David Petreaus, the architect of the surge strategy in Iraq; Rep. John Lewis, D-Ga., a veteran of the civil rights movement; and Meg Whitman, the CEO of eBay, who created more than a million jobs.

Obama named two, his wife and grandmother. He also said he would consult bipartisan sources such as former Democratic Sen. Sam Nunn and Republican Sen. Richard Lugar.

-Supreme Court justices they would not have nominated

McCain named Stephen Breyer, Ruth Bader Ginsburg, David Souter and John Paul Stevens.

Obama said he would not have appointed Clarence Thomas because he wasn’t smart enough or Antonin Scalia because he disagreed with him.

-On sending troops to stop genocide

“Our obligation is to stop genocide wherever we can,” McCain said. He added that the United States can provide material and support, not just troops.

“I don’t think there is a hard and fast line at which you say we are going in. It is always a judgment call,” Obama said. “If we have it within our power to prevent mass killing and genocide and we can work in concert with the international community to prevent it, then we should act.”

-On when a child secures human rights

“At the moment of conception,” McCain said. “I have a 25-year pro-life record. ... I will be a pro-life president.”

“Answering that question with specificity is above my pay grade,” Obama said.

He said he supports limits on late-term abortions if there is an exception for the health of the mother. But ultimately, he said, he supports abortion rights. “I am pro choice,” he said.

-On marriage

McCain said marriage should be between a man and a woman. He said he’d leave it to the states to regulate, but that he would support a constitutional amendment to ban gay marriage if a federal judge ordered all states to recognize one state’s gay marriages.

Obama also said he believes marriage is between a man and a woman. But he said he would not support a constitutional amendment to define marriage that way, saying that marriage historically is left to the states to define.

After putting my notes above I found this if you want to read it. The first few links are Obama's interview and the last half of the links are McCains.

Wild Thing's comment.......

It was a Knockout. Not a TKO but an honest to goodness Knockout.

There is a reason Obama will not agree to the Town Hall debates...he knows McCain will clean his clock. Tonight was proof of that, even though they were separated and each one did not hear the responses of the other. The difference was night and day.

I have my issues with McCain, but I have to give him credit for what happened at the event last night.

I don't have videos of all of it from last night, just a few. .

The questions were the same for both candidates. Making it fair and actually it showed even more what a horrible candidate Obama is for our country.

Just this for McCain ....he needs to try and stop his use of “my friends” it irritates me like nails on a blackboard. And his VP pick will be a break or make thing too I think.

Obama has his hands full. McCain is all nuts and bolts. Obama is theory.

No matter who wins we have a rough ride ahead of us and America deserves better that is for sure.

McCain To Run Ads During Breaks Of Network Dem Convention

McCain to crash Obama's party

Will run ads during breaks of network DNC coverage

Sen. John McCain has so much spare cash on hand — he collected a record $27 million in July — that the Republican candidate plans to run campaign ads during the networks' coverage of the Democratic National Convention later this month.

Political strategists said airing ads during an opponent's convention makes sense.

"McCain now has enough financial resources to break tradition and advertise during the opposition's convention week," said Republican strategist Scott Reed, who was campaign manager for former Sen. Bob Dole in his 1996 presidential run.

"The McCain camp is building a case about Obama's ability to lead and needs to keep the pressure on his weakness with voters."

Democratic strategist Mary Anne Marsh said the McCain campaign's strategy illustrates just how much presidential campaigns have changed. In past contests, one candidate went quiet while the other had his convention, and the strategist said she can't remember a candidate ever airing ads during the other's party convention.

"The ads are less an effort to get votes than make a point and get it covered by the national media while Obama has the attention of the nation," she said. "No doubt the Obama campaign will do the same now."

Democratic presidential candidate Sen. Barack Obama's campaign was staying mum on whether it would follow suit during the Republican convention.

"We don't have a comment," spokesman Tommy Vietor said.

Hillary To Be Entered Into Nomination At Convention

Sources within Hillary Clinton’s campaign say the New York Senator’s name is likely to be placed in nomination in Denver — at the insistence of the Obama campaign.

Clinton had originally said she would NOT sign a document allowing a vote to be held on her nomination; aides thought it could be divisive, and worried that it could make her seem weak, since many of her nearly 1900 delegates would almost certainly not vote for her almost 3 months after she formally conceded.

But in listening to her staunch supporters — those who are still bitter over the way she lost, and are having a hard time getting behind Obama — the Clinton campaign became convinced that entering her name into nomination at the convention was the best way to give Clinton backers the “catharsis” she said was necessary to move forward.

Turns out, the Obama campaign agreed. They’d independently decided that the move wins friends and costs little.

That being decided, all that remains are the details– as well as the decision on whether to actually press ahead with a roll call vote. As Marc Ambinder notes, Clinton could use the occasion of her nomination at the convention to formally release all of her delegates to Obama, instead of calling the roll and finishing well behind what her delegate count would suggest.

UPDATE: The two campaigns released a joint statement officially confirming the news on the record, saying Senator Obamas campaign encouraged Senator Clinton’s name to be placed in nomination as a show of unity and in recognition of the historic race she ran and the fact that she was the first woman to compete in all of our nations primary contests.

Obama says “” am convinced that honoring Senator Clinton’s historic campaign in this way will help us celebrate this defining moment in our history and bring the party together in a strong united fashion.”

Creep Dick Morris on Hannity and Colmes about the Clinton's taking over the Democrat convention LOL

He was talking about the DNC Convention and how the Clinton's are taking it over. Hillary, Bill and Chelsea have all been given speaking roles. In addition.. Hillary has hired a video production team to make a movie about her candidacy.

Wild Thing's comment...........

Making sure we have popcorn in the house heh heh this is going to be just sooooo much fun. Let the games begin!

Just a thought about all of this besides it will be fun to watch all this happening.

I don't believe for one minute that the Obama camp "agreed" to this scenario so much as accepted the fact that under DNC rules, this is within Hitlery's right to demand, including a full roll call vote.
Hillary pushed this hard and intended to from the very moment she "suspended her campaign" (she did NOT concede) and the best Obama's campaign can manage here is to put on a public face and appearances so this looks like a "unity" thing.

The focus on and stories about Obama's past, and his continued stupid statements and obvious prejudicial feelings, questions about place of birth, actual name, his ridiculous ideas and solutions, etc. people will eventually (have begun to) lose interest in this bumbler. Hillary is the BEAST and dangerous too. I just wonder if there are Dems besides the ones that have been for Hillary, the ones that were soooo much for Obama are seeing he is a huge problem especially with his birth certificate stuff waiting in the wings with some serious researchers out there not giving up.

It just makes it very interesting and scary too, scary for our country to even have people like this in our country. Marxists, communists, military loathers and American haters wanting to rule and I do mean rule and turn our Nation into some weak third world country.

It appears he’s turned the entire convention over to the Clinton’s. Either the Clinton’s have something on him.. or Obama is a terrible negotiator.The Clinton’s are ruthless. Obama folded with a winning hand showing on the table. There had to be a joker up somebody’s sleeve. I wonder if the items being speculated about that I mentioned might be making him nervous.

It isn't over till it’s over. And this is one wild turkey chase.

Obama Hits Back At Jerome R.Corsi's and His Book

Obama hits back at critical author

msnbc ....for complete article

Campaign releases 40-page rebuttal, calls writer a ‘discredited liar’

HONOLULU

Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama hit back Thursday with a 40-page rebuttal to the best-selling book "The Obama Nation," arguing the author is a fringe bigot pedaling rehashed lies.

Jerome Corsi's anti-Obama book, "The Obama Nation: Leftist Politics and the Cult of Personality," claims the Illinois senator is a dangerous, radical candidate for president. The book is a compilation of all the innuendo and false rumors against Obama — that he was raised a Muslim, attended a radical, black church and secretly has a "black rage" hidden beneath the surface.

The Obama campaign picked apart the book's claims in a rebuttal titled "Unfit For Publication," to be posted on the Obama campaign's rumor-fighting Web site, FightTheSmears.com. The title is a play on the book Corsi co-authored against 2004 Democratic presidential nominee John Kerry's military service called "Unfit For Command."

"Jerome Corsi is a discredited liar who is pedaling another piece of garbage to continue the Bush-Cheney politics he helped perpetuate four years ago," said Obama spokesman Tommy Vietor. "His is just one of what will likely be many more lie-filled books rushed to print this election cycle, which are cobbled together from debunked Internet sources to make money and advance a partisan agenda. We will respond to these smears forcefully with all means at our disposal."

Corsi's book is off to a swift start and is No. 1 on The New York Times' hardcover nonfiction best-seller list, even though Obama's campaign would argue the book should be listed as fiction.

Wild Thing's comment...........

Corsi has hit a home run two elections in a row!

Truth is a big problem for the radical left.

Obama ...waaaa waaaa waaaa stop picking on me, I want to be President.

Limo Shortage For Denver Democrats

New York Post

Limousine liberals may be forced to take the bus at the Democratic National Convention this month because Denver simply does not have enough limos and black cars to go around.

"We just don't have the cars - Denver just isn't really big on chauffeurs," said Barbara Curtis, of Two Step Limousine. "I am totally booked, and have been for six weeks."

The city has 271 limousine companies, but most have fleets of only two or three cars, Curtis said. She expects there will be no shortage of price-gouging opportunists.

"A lot of the companies put in reservations for black SUVs, and apparently the Secret Service had all of those canceled because they needed the vehicles instead," she said.

On average, black cars cost $4,000 for the four-day convention and limos twice that.

Wild Thing's comment............

All citizens of Denver that can stand the stink of a Democrat, if you have an SUV and it has to be black it seems from the article, here is a chance to make $1000. a day. hahha

One other thing I don't get. From the time it was planned to hold the Dem convention in Denver up to now has to be well over a year. Couldn't they bring Limo's in just for the event??

A friend of mine told me that there was a stretch HUMMER Limo parked in front of 24 Townsend St. Malden, MA last weekend. That address, it is the “residence” of one “Fast Ed” Markey, the Chairman of the House Committee on Global warming. Hahahha what a bunch of phony's.

LMAO ...All these screaming “save the environment” liberals upset they can't get a limo. heh heh

Kerry's New Website "Truth Fights Back" ~ LOL Got a Bandaid?

Kerry arrested.....Operation Dewey Canyon III began on April 18, 1971, as he and others gathered on Washington’s Mall for what they called “a limited incursion into the country of Congress.”

Kerry vs. Corsi

Politico

John Kerry is launching a website, Truth Fights Back, to defend Obama and other Democratic candidates against attacks.

The site, paid for by his leadership PAC, goes after the "80 lies" in a new book by Jerome Corsi, whose 2004 attack on Kerry's military record helped sink the Democrat's campaign, but whose Obama book seems likely to remain on the margins this year.

Kerry writes in an e-mail going out shortly to his (massive) list:

"Pick up the New York Times this morning and read the headline: "Book on Obama Hopes to Repeat Anti-Kerry Feat"
Yes, Jerome Corsi, the right wing fringe author who made his bones smearing the Catholic Church and lying about my military record, is back atop the best-seller list with an anti-Obama book chock full of lies.

If your blood isn't boiling yet, read this: "This is a fact: Today Barack Obama is subject to what is probably the greatest concentrated attacks of smears, lies and innuendo in the lifetime of anyone who reads these words."

The site's focus isn't so much on debunking as on "tracking" the attacks, and promises to watch their spread in real time.

It also defends a pair of Senate candidates, and Kerry's staff says it'll focus more heavily on congressional races going forward.

Kerry continues:

"By signing up, you'll stay on top of what the right wing is doing and help fight for the truth. And you can report smears when you see them to keep us on track on what the smear machine is up to at every moment. You will be our eyes and ears.
We know the game, we've learned some things, and we have a fired-up movement of activists like no party has had in decades, all networked together with great Internet tools.

So sign up to help. This is a massive undertaking, so we need your help to pull it off."

KERRY'S e-mail:

From: John Kerry
Subject: the liars are back. Time to finish them off

Pick up the New York Times this morning and read the headline: "Book on Obama Hopes to Repeat Anti-Kerry Feat"

Yes, Jerome Corsi, the right wing fringe author who made his bones smearing the Catholic Church and lying about my military record, is back atop the best seller list with an anti-Obama book chock full of lies.

If your blood isn't boiling yet, read this: "This is a fact: Today Barack Obama is subject to what is probably the greatest concentrated attacks of smears, lies and innuendo in the lifetime of anyone who reads these words."

Those are the words of Brent Budowsky in Editor and Publisher. He knows what he's talking about.

And it's not just Barack: up and down the ticket and all across the country, the rightwing smear machine is ramping up attacks on Democrats.

We've seen this movie before. The Republicans, without ideas, start running a negative campaign filled with personal attacks and misleading ads. The attacks get condemned, but they get lots of attention and get played on TV endlessly.

We've got to fight every way we can. I'm going on television and the radio pushing back every chance I get - just like I did on MSNBC a few days go - but I need your help.

Click here to watch that clip on MSNBC and sign up to our new, grassroots project to beat back the rightwing machine wherever it operates!

We're launching a new website that empowers you to fight back across the country in ways no campaign has attempted. It's called TruthFightsBack.com, and we can use all the help you can give.

By signing up, you'll stay on top of what the rightwing is doing and help fight for the truth. And you can report smears when you see them to keep us on track on what the smear machine is up to at every moment. You will be our eyes and ears.

We know the game, we've learned some things, and we have a fired up movement of activists like no party has had in decades, all networked together with great Internet tools.

So sign up to help. This is a massive undertaking, so we need your help to pull it off:

TruthFightsBack.com

You can't just play defense against smears, pointing out how they aren't true. You've got to play offense, too, exposing the whole cynical game for what it is: an attempt to keep us from talking about the real issues and ultimately changing our country for the better.

The Republicans have nothing to run on, no ideas to push, no solutions for America. They'll run a campaign of laughable gimmicks and outright distortions and lies. But we can fight back with the truth - and the truth can win this time.

Let's do it.

Thanks,

John Kerry

Wild Thing's comment..........

Bwahahahahahahaha nice try, Lurch. John Kerry couldn’t launch a rubber ducky!

First thing he’ll post is his military record. Right?

He (or his staff...) also put into the Congressional record a statement about Kerry’s proud “Irish” heritage. Another lie.

And he’s going to represent “TRUTH” Fights back???

A New Obama Book From Two Of His Kool-Aid Drinkers

The Dream Begins: How Hawaii Shaped Barack Obama (Paperback)

by Stu Glauberman (Author), Jerry Burris (Author)

Product Description

from amazon.com

Born and raised in the most multicultural state in the union, United States presidential candidate Barack Obama bears the indelible stamp of his native Hawaii. Here is a coming-of-age story set in Hawaii's storied "melting pot—a revealing look at what makes Obama tick.

Authored by veteran political writers Stu Glauberman and Jerry Burris, this 152-page book examines Obama's early years in Hawaii. The self-described "skinny kid with the funny name" flourished in the Islands, where local values foster tolerance, compromise and mutual respect—and where diversity defines people rather than divides them. The social mores of the Aloha State and the experience of growing up in an island culture have had a deep and lasting influence on the candidate. Obama himself has noted, "What's best in me, and what's best in my message, is consistent with the tradition of Hawaii."

Glauberman and Burris offer concise lessons in Hawaii history to help the reader understand its racial and social climate, and how such an environment could impact a young man like Obama. For, as his wife, Michelle Obama, has said, "You can't really understand Barack until you understand Hawaii." Interviews with Obama's Punahou School classmates and teachers, as well as others who knew the Senator in his youth, add a personal dimension to the narrative. Obama's paternal and maternal family history and his years in Indonesia are also thoroughly covered.

Wild Thing's comment........

Alternate title: “Hawaii Jive-O”

Well I guess we will be seeing a ton of books now on how wonderful B. Hussein Obama is and how he is the solution to all the problems in the entire world.

Wright pressured by Obama into scrapping book?

New York Magazine reported that Reverend Wright is publishing a book and going on the road to promote it in October. However, there seems to be some question as to whether this is true. His daughter told Essence that this New York Magazine story was false. An alert reader notes that Daily Kos has reported the story is false and that Reverend Wright will be issuing a statement denying he is publishing a book upon his return from Ghana.

At the very least, this will put Wright back in the news again. The real question is whether Wright was pressured by Team Obama into shutting up until after the election.

I can remember that back in the spring that Wright was talking about his upcoming book tour in October. Not only that it was discussed last spring on the political talk shows on Sunday morning's.

Required To Volunteer? Obama Ticket Giveaway Causes Confusion

Obama ticket hopefuls told that volunteer gig is involved

Rocky Mountain News

Some of those hoping to wrangle a seat for Barack Obama's speech were told this week they have to put in six hours of volunteer work for his campaign by Friday to have a shot at a ticket.

And that ruffled at least a few feathers.

"My whole reason why I'm so mad about it is because Democrats need to act like Democrats," said Heather Kreider, a working mother from Centennial.

"Democrats work for a living, and they have to work and take care of their families. And they say these are open to those in the community, so they shouldn't ask people to drop everything in their lives for this," Kreider said Tuesday.

Doing the volunteer work only makes someone eligible for a ticket and doesn't guarantee one, according to the phone message from the campaign.

Obama's decision to move the last night of the Democratic National Convention to Invesco Field at Mile High, where he will speak to a crowd of more than 75,000, sparked a frenzy for tickets.

Campaign organizers pledged that more than half of those in the stadium would be Coloradans, but they have been vague about how they would decide who got tickets. Kreider was among more than 80,000 people who applied for tickets to Obama's Aug. 28 speech accepting his party's presidential nomination.

As part of the application process, people were asked to check a box if they were willing to volunteer for the Obama campaign.

Matt Chandler, a spokesman for the Obama campaign, said the only people who were asked to volunteer were those who said on their applications that they were willing to do the work.

Those who don't volunteer will still have a chance at the tickets, Chandler said.

"The vast majority of people who get credentials won't have to volunteer," he said. "The folks who might have accidentally hit the 'volunteer' tab, they don't have to worry. They're in the same place in line."

People asked to volunteer are those in line for "all star" tickets that will put them closer to the stage, and they are being contacted first, said Stephanie Mueller, campaign spokeswoman. Applicants who didn't offer to volunteer will be contacted later this week, she said.

But Kreider said she is certain she didn't hit the "volunteer" box on the online application. Still, Kreider got a message telling her that she had to do six hours of volunteer work by Friday if she wanted a chance at a ticket. Kreider said she will not do the work.

"Absolutely not," she said. "Now, it's pure principle. I was a Hillary Clinton supporter, and this is literally my first touch with the Obama campaign. And it's just disappointing."

Wild Thing's comment...........

LOL but of course they’re required to do something at the direction of Obama and the RATS. Maybe one or two of these dimbulbs will get a clue that this is what’s in store if Obama and the rest of the leftists take power.

People giving of themselves to help Obama so that the sick can be healed and the oceans recede, how wonderful. We are just a few million morons short of Marxist Utopia!

This just gets better and better. Just one step away from forced "volunteerism" just to have a potato to eat for dinner.

I need to watch Dr. Zhivago again.

Democratic Convention Chief Wants Reparations For Blacks

Democratic convention chief wants reparations for blacks

The woman commissioned by the Democratic Party to direct its presidential nominating convention in two weeks espouses the same black liberation theology pursued by Rev. Jeremiah Wright, whose church presumptive nominee Barack Obama was forced to leave because of its controversies.

Those included Wright's condemnation of America and a vicious attack on Hillary Clinton from the pulpit, and WND reported when, finally, the Obama campaign announced the candidate resigned his 20-year membership in the church.

Now a profile in the New York Times reveals Rev. Leah Daughtry, a Pentecostal minister who leads a congregation of 20 in Washington, embraces "black liberation theology" beliefs such as the "debt" the U.S. "owes" all blacks for slavery.

The Times describes the congregation in which Daughtry was raised – the House of the Lord Church in Brooklyn, N.Y., where generations of family members, including her father Herbert Daughtry, have preached for decades:

"Below the sanctuary, in the fellowship hall, a banner for slavery reparations proclaimed, 'They Owe Us.' Fliers recounted Herbert Daughtry's arrest, a few weeks earlier, as he led marchers protesting the not-guilty verdict in the police killing of Sean Bell, an unarmed black man. His ministry has always combined consuming spirituality with black liberation theology – the theology Jeremiah Wright invoked this spring to defend his controversial sermons – and zealous political activism. Leah holds these forces within her."

Judi McLeod, a former Toronto Sun columnist, opined it will be "Rev. Jeremiah Wright in a skirt" as Daughtry leads the Democratic National Convention in Denver.

When Howard Dean, chairman of the Democratic National Committee, announced Daughtry's appointment to the post of convention CEO, he cited her "strong guidance, skilled leadership and counsel."

McLeod writes, "Like Wright, Daughtry is in your face about her activism," noting Daughtry told the Capitol Hill publication The Hill in May 2007, "That’s why I work in politics. My family, we're activists."

Said McLeod: "Some would say with Marxist Momma in the top job, it's little wonder why Barack Obama is the DNC's Golden Boy coming to Denver with mainstream media garnered rock star status."

Daughtry supports abortion, as does her father's church.

Throughout her Times interview, Daughtry did not put any distance between herself and the black liberation theology of James Cone.

"At the basis of black liberation theology is the understanding that God has a special place in His heart for those at the bottom of the ladder," said Daughtry.

REPARATIONS RAP

Wild Thing's comment.........

“Reparations!” The new “american” dream! And you don’t have to work for it! This reparations crap is the most enabling rascist whoremongering tact yet. This is socialist redistributionist theory that must never happen.

The Democrat party, the party of anger and bitterness! These people are steeped in their Marxist thinking. I wonder if they will be singing the BLACK National Anthem?

....Thank you Mark for sending this article and link.

Obama Notes ‘tragic’ US Past

Democratic presidential candidate Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill., walked by a painting depicting an American Indian after an appearance at the UNITY '08 Convention in Chicago.

Obama notes ‘tragic’ US past

Honolulu Star-Bulletin

American history's "sad" aspects require action, the senator tells cheering journalists

Sen. Barack Obama, speaking to a gathering of minority journalists yesterday, stopped short of endorsing an official U.S. apology to American Indians but said the country should acknowledge its history of poor treatment of certain ethnic groups.

"There's no doubt that when it comes to our treatment of Native Americans as well as other persons of color in this country, we've got some very sad and difficult things to account for," Obama told hundreds of attendees of UNITY '08, a convention of four minority journalism associations.

The Hawaii-born senator, who has told local reporters that he supports the federal recognition bill for native Hawaiians drafted by U.S. Sen. Daniel Akaka, noted other ethnic groups but did not mention native Hawaiians when answering a question about his thoughts on a formal U.S. apology to American Indians.

"I personally would want to see our tragic history, or the tragic elements of our history, acknowledged," the Democratic presidential hopeful said.

"I consistently believe that when it comes to whether it's Native Americans or African-American issues or reparations, the most important thing for the U.S. government to do is not just offer words, but offer deeds."

Obama, who appeared tired in his first major appearance since returning Saturday from a 10-day trip abroad, met with a receptive audience at the Chicago convention. Some journalists had waited three hours for the 40-minute appearance.

The group had expected Obama and Sen. John McCain to speak on Thursday night, but because of scheduling conflicts, only Obama could attend yesterday morning's talk.

When Obama walked on stage at the McCormick Center, many journalists in the audience leapt to their feet and applauded enthusiastically after being told not to do so. During a two-minute break halfway through the event, which was broadcast live on CNN, journalists ran to the stage to snap photos of Obama.

The Illinois senator talked about his trip overseas, reiterating his opinion that violence is down in Iraq but worsening in Afghanistan. And he expressed his approval of the Senate's passage of a major housing bill to help homeowners avert foreclosure.

Obama, who acknowledged that he needed a nap, stood up to say farewell to the audience of journalists, many of whom gave him another standing ovation.

Wild Thing's comment.........

This was an article from Monday, July 28, 2008, Obama speaking about reparations. Obama is the 21st century code-talker. Every person in that room understood reparations were being promised.

"I consistently believe that when it comes to whether it's Native Americans or African-American issues or reparations, the most important thing for the U.S. government to do is not just offer words, but offer deeds."

Deeds, eh? So, let's see, trillions spent on welfare programs, taxpayer-funded but government-run education systems, "affirmative" actions programs at the expense of white people, Black History months, set-asides for minority contractors, "diversity" awareness, and of course 620,000 dead white guys in the Civil War which ended slavery in this country centuries ago, before any of our grandparents were even around. Isn't that enough for this 'Rat-brain? I guess not.

Obama really does despise the United States. Hussein you pinko schmuck ......America has nothing to be ashamed of...and much to be proud of!!!

McCain's 'celebrity' Taunts Are Bugging Obama

McCain's 'celebrity' taunts are bugging Obama

HARRISBURG, Pa

In a presidential campaign freighted with war, recession and energy woes, a jibe featuring Paris Hilton, of all things, seems to have struck a nerve in Democrat Barack Obama. For the second time in two weeks, he aired a TV ad Monday rebutting Republican John McCain's claim that Obama is little more than a celebrity, like the blonde hotel heiress.

The first time, Obama dismissed the assertion as "baloney." On Monday, Obama took a different tack with a commercial that says McCain, not he, is "Washington's biggest celebrity."

The back-and-forth may seem as frothy as a boardwalk milkshake in mid-August. But it suggests McCain is making some headway in trying to fight the campaign on his terms.

For weeks, Obama has tried to frame the election largely as a referendum on President Bush, using every chance to tie McCain to the unpopular incumbent. McCain has tried to make it about Obama by arousing concerns about the first-term senator's experience and depth.

McCain has aired a series of TV ads that showed far more images of Obama than himself, a somewhat risky approach. All of them tried to turn Obama's crowd-pleasing talents against him.

A July commercial blaming Obama for high gasoline prices — which the watchdog group FactCheck.org called "a tank full of nonsense" — portrayed crowds chanting Obama's name. A subsequent ad mixed images of Obama on his recent European trip with video clips of pop figures Hilton and Britney Spears.

Obama is "the biggest celebrity in the world," the announcer said. "But is he ready to lead?"

Even some Republican strategists questioned whether the strategy was smart or dignified. And Hilton herself produced a video poking fun at McCain that drew large Internet viewership. But Obama's latest ad suggests the "celebrity" taunt has some sting, and efforts to dismiss it as silly have not been effective.

"They woke up this weekend and figured out that that ad resonated and they needed to do something about it," said Terry Holt, a Republican strategist.

Although the McCain campaign was lampooned for its Hilton ad on late night television and blogs, it kept hammering at the celebrity theme. A McCain TV ad introduced last week showed Obama waving to cheering crowds, along with his picture on the covers of the magazines GQ, US Weekly and Vanity Fair.

In his new ad, Obama tries to turn the celebrity theme to his advantage, grafting it to his claim that a McCain presidency would amount to a third term for Bush. That claim has generated a defensive response from McCain.

McCain daily tries to beat back the idea that he'd represent a continuation of Bush, as he did Monday while campaigning in Erie and Harrisburg, Pa. Nearly 85 percent of Americans think the country is on the wrong track, McCain told workers at an Erie manufacturing facility, and "we've got to reform and reform and reform."

The new Obama ad shows McCain hugging Bush while the voiceover says, "as Washington embraced him, John McCain hugged right back."

Obama spokesman Bill Burton said the ad is designed to say voters have a choice between Obama, who stands for change, and McCain, "who overwhelmingly favors the status quo."

Holt, the GOP strategist, said, "If the celebrity issue were not hurting them, they would have ignored it."

Wild Thing's comment............

Thin skinned B. Hussein Obam, gosh, and after being the bully on the playground. Thin skinned and also because Obama knows what is being said about him is true. knows its true. Nothing to back up anything he’s ever done. “Community Planner” doesn’t cut it.

Obama whine
"don't talk about my ears"
"don't use my middle name Hussein"
don't call me a liberal"
don't say fairytale that is a rascist word
don't talk about my wfie

and the list goes on and on....

The Madison Avenue campaign is in full effect. Just wait for the display and hype built up around his speech at the convention at a freaking football stadium filled with 72,000 screaming people.

The Georgia situation illustrates what we elect a President to do.

I am not a fan of McCain and you all know that, but McCain would be a man in the White House; Obama by comparison, would be an 18 year old college freshman with long hair and a bong.

Obama Camp STILL Can't Verify Return Of Arab Cash

Obama camp still can't verify return of Arab cash

More questions than answers in illegal Middle East donor affair

JERUSALEM – One week after WND reported Palestinian brothers inside the Hamas-controlled Gaza Strip illegally contributed to Barack Obama's campaign, the Democratic presidential candidate's team has not responded to repeated WND requests for a clarification regarding how purported refunds were returned. The brothers told WND their money was not refunded.

Last week it was exposed Palestinian Gazans Monir, Hosam and Osama Edwan made a series of donations online at Obama's official campaign website totaling more than $30,000.

The donations violate election laws, including prohibitions against receiving contributions from foreigners and accepting more than $2,300 from one individual during a single election.

The Wall Street Journal reported it spoke to Obama officials who said the nearly $33,500 in donations were received between Sept. 20 and Dec. 6 of last year and that most of the money was returned by Dec. 6. The campaign claimed, however, the refunds were not reported to the Federal Election Commission due to a technical error.

The Obama camp insisted the remaining $2,500 was refunded Aug. 4 and that all the refunds will be reflected soon in an amended report. The campaign said new controls are in place to prevent any similar attempts in the future.

But WND spoke to the brothers, who denied the Obama campaign refunded their money.

Obama Pays Visit To His Grandmother In Makiki (Alone)

Democratic presidential hopeful Illinois Sen. Barack Obama waited yesterday afternoon for the doors to close in the elevator that would take him up to visit his grandmother in a Punahou-area apartment.

Democratic presidential candidate Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill., walks with his daughter Malia Obama, 10, and carries gifts after going to his grandmother's home in Honolulu, Hawaii Saturday, Aug. 9, 2008

The second photo must be AFTER he saw his Grandma and she must have given him a gift basket. He did not have it with him NOR his daughter when he was on the elevator to go up to her apartment. -- Wild Thing

Obama pays visit to grandmother in Makiki

Star Bulletin

After delivering a campaign speech, Sen. Barack Obama's first stop on his Hawaii vacation was a visit to his grandmother's Makiki apartment, where he also lived during his youth.

Obama -- escorted by Secret Service and accompanied by a few campaign staff and a pool of reporters and camera crews -- arrived at about 4:10 p.m. yesterday and spent an hour with his 85-year-old maternal grandmother, Madelyn Dunham, who helped raise him.

He was not accompanied by his wife, Michelle, and two daughters.

Dunham, a retired Bank of Hawaii vice president, still lives in the same apartment where she and her husband helped raise Obama, who attended nearby Punahou School.

Obama's half sister, Maya Soetoro-Ng, is his only other living relative left in Hawaii.

Wild Thing's comment..........

This is so weird. Why aren’t the Grandkids crawling all over Grandma? Michelle doesn’t like her? Kids have never met her? What is the real story. Is it because the white hating Michelle won't let the kids near her. Sorry but this is jsut very odd. hahaha

Wow, he visited with her for a whole hour after not seeing her for 19 months. What a guy. Or I guess I should say, this Grandma is not just A typical white person, but THE typical white person. And he spent a whole hour with her. Wow.

This could have been a grand photo op to show how INCLUSIVVE he is towards his WHITE Grandma and how his family loves white folks too.

So which person went to see the Grandma, Barry Soetoro or Barak Hussein Obama?

There is something deeply wrong with this family. Remember Barack didn’t go to see his mother when she was dying of cancer.

Sen. Barack Obama's campaign announced yesterday that his wife, Michelle, will be the star attraction on the opening night at the Democratic National Convention in Denver on Aug. 25.

Following Michelle Obama on Monday, the "headline speakers" for the rest of the convention will be Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton on Tuesday, Obama's vice presidential choice on Wednesday, and Obama on Thursday. The convention will move that day to Invesco Field at Mile High Stadium, and Obama will officially accept the party's nomination before a crowd expected to reach 75,000.

Two of the dates will be rich with symbolism. Clinton, who came closer than any woman to winning a major-party nomination for president, will speak on the 88th anniversary of women receiving the right to vote, and Obama will give his acceptance speech on the 45th anniversary of Martin Luther King's "I Have a Dream" speech.

The Obama camp had previously said that Clinton would speak on Tuesday night, although negotiations continue about whether her name will be placed in nomination. The New York Daily News reported that Clinton has raised the idea of being introduced by her daughter, Chelsea. Former president Bill Clinton is scheduled to address the delegates on Wednesday night.

The Obama camp and the Democratic National Committee said additional details about the convention and speakers will be released this week.

Wild Thing's comment........

There is something I don't understand. I thought that 'pledged delegates' were technically free to vote for whoever they chose - not legally or otherwise bound to the candidate claiming the pledge.

If I'm wrong, and each and every pledged democrat lackey is bound irreversibly to Obama, then so be it.

But, if I'm right, this announcement means that the DNC has admitted that it has anointed Obamasama as their savior - and no deviation from the party line will be tolerated.

There is no other explanation for calling on the wife of a candidate to be the opening speaker in a convention that is supposed to select the man or woman who will lead the party into a presidential election.

And then it mentions about Hillary's name might be placed in nomination. Kind of confusing.

America Haters and Racist's Michelle and Barack Obama

Wild Thing's comment.............

If you notice the date on some of the scenes in the video in the upper right corner.....11/23/2004 it is from Obama's " Dreams from My Father" Book Signing, New York, New York

"The Basic Outline of the government we posses and our civic religion as a people is such that potentially at least, we could create a society that is a model for the world, it isn't right now ."

Michelle and Barack Obama INSULT America Over and Over and Over again. In there own words. These two are totally disgusting. Bashing America, hate for America, preaching, teaching their hate for America every chance they get. What miserable people they are. What vile and horrible Americans they are.

How does she reconcile with the fact that her husband clings bitterly to stereotypes of “typical white person's".

Michelle and Barack are showing the world and example of affirmative action , entitlement mentality, and 20 years of the “self-esteem without accomplishment” push in our culture.

Michelle is telling the world if you do not elect obamaboy that you are stupid, ignorant and racist! Calling the voters ignorant is a great way to get elected.

The Laws To Be Eligible To Be President

2 campaigns seek 'truth' about Obama's birth

Eligibility for presidency hinges on American citizenship

http://texasdarlin.wordpress.com/

Israel Insider is reporting that analysts working separately have determined the birth certificate posted on the Daily Kos website and later on Sen. Barack Obama's "Fight the Smears" campaign website is fraudulent, and now two different actions have been launched to try and obtain the truth about the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee's birth.

The Israel Insider report said the two analysts it interviewed both have been "able to independently discern the name 'Maya Kassandra Soetoro' from artifacts left behind in the process of forging a new fake document for Barack from an image of Maya's original document." Maya is Obama's younger half-sister.

The report follows a posting from another researcher, identified by the news publication as Techdude, that the birth certificate is a forgery because it originally documented the birth of a woman in the 1970s.

Blogger Mitchell Langbert now has launched a petition to the Federal Election Commission in which signers are asking the agency to "take responsibility to verify the eligibility of Mr. Barack H. Obama to be president of the United States."

Wrote Langbert, "Mr. Obama has refused to produce a physical certified, stamped copy of his birth certificate. An electronically displayed imaged displayed by his official campaign website has alleged to have been a forgery. … We request that the FEC require Mr. Obama to authorize the FEC to obtain an official copy of his birth certificate."

Ted Moran, who said he wished to be contacted at brotherbear@solomonsstables.org, said he also was launching a campaign to discern the truth about Obama's birth certificate.

"I am looking for 50 brave men or women from 49 states and the District of Columbia to join me in suing the secretaries of state in our respective states to prevent them from posting the name Barak H. Obama on the November 2008 ballot until he presents incontrovertible proof that he is a … U.S. citizen," he said. "The secretaries of state are the ones who by placing a person or initiative on the ballot certify that the candidates or initiatives meet the legal requirements to be on the ballot.

"The office of the president is simply too important to trust to someone other than a person whose loyalties are 100 percent American, and while it is impossible to read into the heart of a man or woman we do have the test our forefathers gave us. Which is this office is not to be entrusted to anyone but a natural U.S. citizen," he said.

Multiple requests over a period of several days by WND to the Obama campaign for a comment or explanation of the birth certificate issue did not generate any response.

The Israel Insider said, "The revelation that [the birth certificate] of Obama's own sister was evidently used to create the electronic forgery represents what supporters of this analysis claim is a 'smoking gun' that appears to implicate Sen. Obama directly. Hawaii law limits access to vital records to family members only, a fact which slowed down the ability of researchers to compare the purported Obama 'birth certificate' – which displayed from the start a peculiar provenance and inexplicable features – to genuine specimens. Therefore, it would seem that either Maya K. Soetoro-Ng (as she is now called) supplied the document or its image to half-brother Barack or his campaign, or Obama/his campaign used it without her permission.

"The stakes couldn't be higher. Even the Snopes anti-rumor site acknowledges that Obama's constitutional fitness to be president depends solely on his being born in the United States, because his mother – not yet 19 at the time of his birth – would not have had a sufficient number of years as an adult citizen, according to the laws prevailing at the time, to pass on 'natural born citizenship' automatically," the report said.

"There have been reports, so far unconfirmed, that Obama was born outside the country, either in Kenya, his presumed father's native land, or in Canada. The fact that the Obama campaign has been touting as genuine a forgery since June 12 will likely increase pressure to not only account for the fake but produce a genuine paper birth certificate. Obama, in his book 'Dreams from My Father,' specifically mentioned having such a document in his possession, but it has not been submitted for public inspection or analysis if it in fact exists," the report said.

The forensic computer investigators interviewed by the news publication concluded there are two obvious possibilities for the birth certificate image: A real certificate was scanned and digitally edited or a real certificate was scanned for the graphic layout, then blanked by soaking the document in solvent to remove the toner.

The certificate was published by the Daily Kos June 12 following initial reports questioning Obama's place of birth. He's stated he was born in Hawaii, but if that was not the case, his citizenship could be uncertain, since his father was not a citizen and his mother was not old enough to pass along American citizenship automatically.

The issue originally was raised by Jim Geraghty, reporting on the Campaign Spot, a National Review blog. He cited the "unlikely" possibility that Obama's 1961 birth was not within the U.S.

At the time, he wrote, "If Obama were born outside the United States, one could argue that he would not meet the legal definition of natural-born citizen … because U.S. law at the time of his birth required his natural-born parent (his mother) to have resided in the United States for 10 years, at least [f]ive of which had to be after the age of 16.'"

He then pointed out Ann Dunham, Obama's mother, was 18 when Obama was born, "so she wouldn't have met the requirement of five years after the age of 16."

When the Daily Kos website posted an image that appeared to be Obama's birth certificate, Geraghty announced he was satisfied.

The presumptive Republican nominee for president, Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., already has gone through a similar challenge, and the U.S. Senate responded with a resolution in April declaring him to be a "'natural born Citizen' under Article II, Section 1, of the Constitution of the United States."

The article declares "no person except a natural born citizen … shall be eligible to the office of president."

McCain was challenged because he was born to two U.S. citizens in the Panama Canal Zone.

Wild Thing's comment........

Hmmmmmm maybe he wasn’t born. maybe he was “begotten”....or maybe spawned.

I don't know the blog in the article but I thought this was interesting how this whole thing keeps gonig and there are so mnay working on it. This one was sent to me, I don't know this blog either, the person is in Texas and it sure has a lot of information on it.

Texasdarling web site is definitely a Hillary support site. However, they have good evidence,

B.Hussein Obama may be all legit and legal, but something very peculiar is going on. I am also wondering if some some hanky-panky about this topic is going on while Obama is in Hawaii, since it is a big Democrat State and he could get his doc’s in order.

Even if Obama can prove beyond doubt he is a natural born citizen, he used and presented a forgery on his website.
Obama took down the relative high resolution version and put up the crappy compressed version on his website

That by it self would be more than enough to destroy any Republican candidacy.

Obama won his first election by having ALL the other contenders removed from the ballot by extensive and petty challenges to their signers or residency.

Obama played hardball in first Chicago campaign

cnn politics

May 30, 2008

"In his first race for office, seeking a state Senate seat on Chicago's gritty South Side in 1996, Obama effectively used election rules to eliminate his Democratic competition.
As a community organizer, he had helped register thousands of voters. But when it came time to run for office, he employed Chicago rules to invalidate the voting petition signatures of three of his challengers.

The move denied each of them, including incumbent Alice Palmer, a longtime Chicago activist, a place on the ballot. It cleared the way for Obama to run unopposed on the Democratic ticket in a heavily Democrat district.

"That was Chicago politics," said John Kass, a veteran Chicago Tribune columnist. "Knock out your opposition, challenge their petitions, destroy your enemy, right? It is how Barack Obama destroyed his enemies back in 1996 that conflicts with his message today. He may have gotten his start registering thousands of voters. But in that first race, he made sure voters had just one choice."

One Nation, Under a New Obama Salute

One Nation, Under a New Obama Salute

US News .com

George Bush had his three-fingered W salute that supporters flashed when greeting him at presidential campaign events in 2000.

And now, if a Los Angeles creative agency gets its way, Sen. Barack Obama will see fans meet him with his own salute like the one above.

"Our goal is to see a crowd of 75,000 people at Obama's nomination speech holding their hands above their heads, fingers laced together in support of a new direction for this country, a renewed hope, and acceptance of responsibility for our future," says Rick Husong, owner of The Loyalty Inc.

Husong tells me that he got the idea after seeing the famous Obama-Progress poster by artist Shepherd Fairey.

"We wanted to get involved some way," he says. So, the agency came up with their own a symbol of hope and progress that also plays off Obama's name. "We thought, 'Let's try and start a movement where even while walking down the street, people would hold up the O and you would know that they were for Obama,' " says Husong.

Much thought went into the relatively simple idea.

"You interlace your hands in a circle, the interlacing being a symbol of different types of people coming together and the circle a symbol of unity," he says. Their design, unlike Fairey's, is free, and Husong is urging people to download it and print it on posters and T-shirts. "We want to see it everywhere, but more importantly we want this sign to take the world by storm."

Wild Thing's comment........

So the sign of progress is a big zero?

Notice how everything they do looks Marxist?

Those 75,000 are going to look like they want to wring Obamy’s neck. LMAO

First there was his tacky little “Presidential Seal”, the custom embroidered “Obama President” leather seats on his plane (how much campaign $$ did those cost?), and now this little gesture!! Good grief!

Bill Clinton Offered Speaking Role At Dem Convention

Just a little walk down memory lane............Bill Clinton on Obama:" Big Fairy Tale" ....(01/08/2008) The former U.S. president rants on Barack Obama's free pass from the press.

msnbc

NBC News has learned that the Obama campaign, in an effort to quiet talk of the Obama-Clinton drama, has offered Bill Clinton a speaking role on Wednesday night at the Democratic convention -- before the vice presidential running mate speaks.

Sources say that Clinton in fact will speak.

The campaign rushed tonight to resolve the issue after network news reports about the Clintons and Obama.

Wild Thing's comment........

I saw Bill Clinton on the news this week and he said he had plenty to say, but not during that interview. Now, I don’t think Bill would have a melt down (publically) at the convention......but there is a what if to it. Remember when Bill Clinton said Barack Obama must 'kiss my ass' for his support. LOL That was just a month ago.

Obama's Hate For America Shows In His Reply To Innocent Child

A 7 year old asked Obama why he was running and this was his reply:

"America, is uh, is… is no longer… uh… what it, it could be, what it once was. And I say to myself, I don’t want that future for my children." - B.Hussein Obama

Wild Thing's comment..........

This horrible person Obama, and his hate for our country alone should be enough to not allow him to run for any government office in our land.

The left always thinks what America is about, and what it stands for is BAD. The left could not love America if their life depended on it.

Obama doesn't care any more about this 7 year old kid than he does this country. He'll destroy both for political expediency.

America 101 are you listening Obama?

A Man Without A Country He Loves, The Tire Gauge Guru Going To Hawaii

Democratic jitters as Obama heads for Hawaii

financial times

Few people are more likely to need a holiday than Barack Obama. Yet as he heads off on Friday for his first week-long break since he launched his presidential bid 19 months ago, Mr Obama is dogged by rising angst about his campaign’s direction.

Although he has run what is widely acclaimed to be one of the most impressive campaigns in years, Democrats live in fear of Mr Obama falling prey to the kinds of accident that derailed predecessors in earlier cycles.

Democrats say that Mr Obama needs to accomplish two critical things on his return next week. First, he must put on a good event to announce the selection of his running mate. Second, his speech at the party convention in Denver must be exceptional.

In contrast to the jittery nerves among Democrats in general, the Obama campaign conveys serene confidence that it will accomplish both.

Wild Thing's comment...........

Maybe he's headed to Hawaii to find another (possibly) counterfeit birth certificate, or maybe he will go to the spot where the Japanese dropped the ONE bomb he spoke of in his speech.

"Few people are more likely to need a holiday than Barack Obama. Yet as he heads off on Friday for his first week-long break since he launched his presidential bid 19 months ago"

The media always LIES, the Obama’s went to the Virgin Islands in March of this year.

"Democrats live in fear of Mr Obama falling prey to the kinds of accident that derailed predecessors in earlier cycles. "

You mean he might lose in all 57 States?

Clinton Leaves Option Open for Convention Floor Vote

This video was filmed July 31st in Los Altos Hills, CA.

Clinton Leaves Option Open for Convention Floor Vote

Hillary Clinton told a group of supporters recently that she has not yet decided whether she will put her name in for a roll-call vote at the Democratic convention in Denver later this month.

The New York senator was filmed addressing the matter apparently at a California fundraiser last week. The video was posted on YouTube.

“I happen to believe that we will come out stronger if people feel that their voices were heard and their views respected. And I think that is a very big part of how we actually come out unified, because I know from just what I’m hearing that there is just this incredible pent up desire,” Clinton said in the video, after being asked by a supporter if she’d consider putting her name in for the nomination.

“And I think people want to feel like ‘Okay, it’s a catharsis, we’re here, we did it,’ and then everybody get behind Senator Obama. … No decisions have been made.”

Clinton said she was trying to work out the issue with the Obama campaign and the Democratic National Committee. Such a vote would presumably allow her remaining delegates to throw their symbolic support behind Clinton on the convention floor.

“I could be wrong, but the best way I think is to have a strategy where my delegates feel that they have a role and that their legitimacy has been validated,” Clinton said.

Barack Obama spokesman Bill Burton told FOX News that nothing has been decided in terms of the role of Clinton’s delegates.

He said Democrats remain united, despite the hard-fought battle between Clinton and Obama.

Wild Thing's comment..........

This is gonna be good entertainment! heh heh

LOL she seems to have all her bases covered to very possibly have something happen at the DNC convention.

Obama will not complete his first year in office, if he nominates her for VP. Either by death, sickness or scandal driven resignation, she will assume the Presidency within the year if they let her tag along as VP.

Were I in his shoes, I would sincerely fear for my life with her in the VP slot.

Arabs Deny Obama Camp Returned Illegal Donations

Arabs deny Obama camp returned illegal donations

Candidate's staffers insist Gaza brothers refunded, but men say, 'We did not receive any money back'

Federal Election Commission

Sen. Barack Obama's campaign contends it returned $33,500 in illegal contributions from Palestinians in Hamas-controlled Gaza, but the donors told WND today they have not received any money.

The Wall Street Journal reported it spoke to Obama officials who said the donations from three Palestinian brothers were received between Sept. 20 and Dec. 6 last year, and virtually all of the money was returned by Dec. 6. The campaign said, however, the refunds were not reported to the Federal Election Commission due to a technical error.

The Obama camp insisted the remaining $2,500 was refunded Monday and all of the refunds will be reflected soon in an amended report. The campaign said new controls are in place to prevent any similar attempts in the future.

But WND asked two of the brothers – Monir and Hasam Edwan – to respond to the campaign's claims.

"No, we did not receive any money back from the Obama campaign at any time," said Monir Edwan.

Last week, the blog Atlas Shrugs outlined the series of donations made last year by Monir Edwan and Hosam Edwan, totaling $29,521.54. A third brother, Osama, reportedly gave the campaign about $4,000.

The Edwans continue to maintain – as they told WND earlier this week – that the financial transactions made on Obama's campaign website were not actual donations but purchases of "Obama for President" T-shirts. The transactions, however, were listed as donations in U.S. government election filings.

The donations violate election laws, including prohibitions on receiving contributions from foreigners and against accepting more than $2,300 from one individual during a single election.

Wild Thing's comment.........

Hmmm, Caught in a Trap. Yes, That is where the Obama Campaign is regarding the Edwan brothers from Rafah, Georgia! Or is that Rafah in the Gaza Strip. Not really much difference when you’re the Messiah and can walk on water or do fundraising of soft money under $200.00 that does not have to be recorded the same way as hard money donations over $200.00

But when you’re the Messiah then you can fly all over the world with your collection plate raking in the donations either in CASH or by Credit Card. You have to wonder who passed the plate in Berlin and how the credit card funds rolled in to his campaign cash register. Just selling $20.08 T-Shirts to the fans in Germany. Yes Just words of praise and by my T-shirts for 20.00 each and send me your Twenties, and Fifties and One Hundred dollar donations.

Type in the last name: Edwan

The amount still shown on this site is $31,318.00 as being received and reported by Obama’s campaign.

" technical error"....so that is the excuse Obama's camp is giving. But since it takes time to get a story out like this one, then how come by this time the " technical error" has not been fixed. hmmmmmmm

....Thank you Mark for sending this to me.

Left Plans "Nuremberg-Style" Tribunals for Bush Administration Officials

The Left and Plans for "Nuremberg-Style" Tribunals for Bush Administration Officials

National Review

One thing that hasn't received much attention in conservative and Republicans circles is the ongoing conversation on the left about the possibility of Nuremberg-style war-crimes trials for members of the Bush administration should a Democratic president take office. I'm not exaggerating or introducing the Nazi analogy myself; they actually use the phrase "Nuremberg-style" when they discuss "war-crimes tribunals." And they are quite serious (although the more moderate of them prefer a "truth commission.")

At the Netroots Nation gathering in Austin, Texas last month — that is the successor to YearlyKos — Dahlia Lithwick, of the Washington-Post-owned website Slate, did an interview with the Talking Points Memo site in which she described a panel discussion she had just taken part in on what is known as the "first 100 days of accountability." Among Lithwick's observations:

"We're already falling into this trap of either positing Nuremberg-style war crimes tribunals, or nothing, immunizing everyone from John Yoo up and down…but everybody says there's a lot of gray area in between that, and that accountability doesn't necessarily mean Nuremberg, it doesn't necessarily mean nothing, it means possibly a truth commission, possibly appointing a special prosecutor to look at it…..."

Lithwick recommended a massive retrospective investigation of the Bush administration, going through every piece of paper, before moving forward:

"Certainly long before we make a decision to do what Stuart Taylor suggested this week, which was immunize everybody in advance, or alternatively make a decision to trot them out before a war crimes tribunal before the whole world, we should really find out what happened…..."

But Lithwick recognized that there are those who argue such an action might be divisive:

"We talked a lot about this notion that it's bad for America, that it will rip America apart if we have hearings or we have criminal trials or if we have war crimes tribunals. And I think it's really worse for America if we don't…..."

I think the thing to emphasize here is that this is a serious conversation going on among people who might have influential voices or play influential roles in an Obama administration. Many of them want to put John Yoo — a special favorite of theirs — on trial, whether before a Nuremberg-style tribunal, a criminal court, or a truth commission with as-yet unspecified powers. And, of course, they wouldn't stop with Yoo; if they had their way, they would likely have a long list of former Bush administration officials to put in the dock. They are serious.

Wild Thing's comment..........

This is very scary! They really dont know when to quit do they?

"But Lithwick recognized that there are those who argue such an action might be divisive: "

Oh really? Gosh do well how obvious is that statement.

Are we sure that Stalan hasn’t been reincarnated as Pelosi? The terrorist-loving left was hoping for a "civil war" in Iraq. If they keep this crap up, they'll get one here. If they think that they can get away with it, they will do it in a heartbeat. My heart feels afraid BUT my head tells me they will have a tuff time of pulling this off even with the support of what I am posting below all of this in the additional information.

I believe with all my heart that if this country ever comes to something like this, those unlike you and I on here, you know those filled with apathy willl stand up and fight back along side those of us that have been awake all this time. Some people are leaders and others are followers and those with apathy are the followers and just need a fire lit under them. Let's pray though none of this will come about.

There is an excellent book: War Crimes: The Left's Campaign to Destroy the Military and Lose the War on Terror
Bestselling author Lt. Col. Robert "Buzz" Patterson (Ret.) He lays bare the Left's extensive campaign against all things military and how it severely compromises the ability to fight the war on terror.

And here is more information if anyone might want to check it out:

From another article posted last month: This is freightening to say the least. Communisim has got such a strong hold in our awesome, wonderful, oh so special and beautiful America.

"The House Judiciary Committee held a hearing Friday [July 2008] it insisted was not about removing President Bush from office. But critics of Bush's policies couldn't pass up the chance to charge the president with a long list of impeachable 'high crimes and misdemeanors.'"

Speaking of 'high crimes and misdemeanors', here are some facts put together some time ago regarding the Chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, John Conyers Jr...

The chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, John Conyers Jr of Michigan, is an endorser of the Revolutionary Communist Party call to "Drive Out the Bush Regime".

B.Hussein Obama and ACORN

(Obama's former employer)ACORN hires Child Rapist, Thieves and Drug Dealers for Voter Registration

election journal

KRQE Channel 13 in Albuquerque aired this disturbing report about criminals, including child rapists, persons convicted of fraud and forgery, and drug dealers, being hired by ACORN to solicit voter registrations:

The litany convictions and charges against these individuals is long and this story is not the first problem for ACORN this year nationally or in New Mexico. In June the Dona Ana County Clerk warned citizens about registering with third party groups.

Across the country states like Arizona, Arkansas Louisiana, Nevada, Virginia, Wisconsin and others have warned citizens about registering with and providing sensitive personal information to groups like ACORN.

Rep. Maxine Waters (D-CA) Speaks At ACORN National Convention About Obama

Fake names get voter registration workers investigated (Obama's ACORN, again!)

JS Onlline

Criminal investigations could be launched against at least six voter registration workers who tried to add dead, imprisoned or imaginary people to the voter rolls, according to the Milwaukee Election Commission and the organization that employed them.

Officials are reviewing some 200 to 300 fraudulent voter registration cards, Sue Edman, the commission’s executive director, said Wednesday.

And even though the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now caught the fraud and reported it before the cards were turned in, the incident revived a four-year-old partisan debate over the integrity of Wisconsin’s voter registration process, as political groups step up efforts to sign up voters for the Nov. 4 presidential election.

“One woman called us to complain because her husband has been dead for 10 years and a voter registration was submitted,” Edman said.

In about 12 cases, deputy registrars paid by ACORN were “making people up or registering people that were still in prison,” said Carolyn Castore, ACORN’s state political director.

And in other cases, workers used the same address for numerous voters or used driver’s license numbers that did not fit the voters’ birth dates, Edman said. But most of the fraud involved submitting duplicate cards for voters who were already registered, and forging the voters’ signatures, Castore said.

ACORN found the problems and fired a dozen workers, Castore said. Five of them appeared to be working together, she added.

The ACORN effort is part of a massive voter registration drive aimed at the fall presidential election, which is expected to pit Democratic Sen. Barack Obama of Illinois against Republican Sen. John McCain of Arizona.

Wild Thing's comoment..........

ACORN is a Marxist front organization for the left wing and for Obama. This is an extremely radical organization and is one of those that hides in plain site. But VERY dangerous is exactly what it is. They are working one city at a time in their revolution and it has been gaining strength.

Obama was an ACORN leadership trainer. ACORN's agenda is " Undisguised authorities socialism".

Some members are Maxine Waters, John Conyers, and many others.

For the first article, dems would never find it necessary to be careful who they hire, why would they. The Dems love criminals and the low life's of humanity that walk the earth.

Regarding the second article, yet another case in a long tradition of voter fraud by the democrats.

RNC Delivers Tire Gauges to Obama Press Corps

The Rapid City Weekly News

When the Obama press corps arrived at the Elkhart, Indiana, Jameson Inn where the campaign is staying tonight, Obama staffers were on hand to distribute room keys - and a small white envelope from the RNC.

That’s right, the Republican National Committee.

Inside the envelope addressed to individual members of Obama’s regular traveling press, was a small tire gauge labeled “Obama’s Energy Plan” along the side, and a note that joyously read, “Happy Birthday, Barack Obama!”

The RNC along with the McCain campaign seized upon Obama’s advice to a voter last week to properly inflate her tires to increase fuel efficiency, and have managed to create a sideshow to mock Obama’s “judgment” and “experience” when it comes to energy policy.

The RNC doubled down on their humorous assault tonight with its “gift” to the press corps. “We hope you’ll enjoy this complimentary tool related to Barack Obama’s energy plan - your very own tire gauge. Because, instead of actually increasing America’s domestic oil supply, this is how Obama thinks you should try to alleviate your pain at the pump,” the note read.

Wild Thing's comment.......

LOL this is funny, great idea! hahahahaha

I’ve never seen such a huge chip-on-the-shoulder, take- offense mentality like the one B. Hussein Obama has.. And I think the majority of the American people are getting increasingly sick of it.

Marxist Obama: GOP Detractors ‘Take Pride in Being Ignorant’

Obama responds: 'It's like these guys take pride in being ignorant"

Barack Obama, responding to a week of taunts from John McCain’s campaign, said Tuesday that his Republican detractors “take pride in being ignorant” and that it’s time to get serious.

The Illinois senator was responding in part to criticism from Republicans who mocked him for suggesting last week that Americans could save on energy costs and gas by properly inflating their tires. McCain surrogates passed out tire gauges that say “Obama’s Energy Plan,” and McCain said last week the “only thing” Obama has proposed with regard to energy is to inflate tires.

“This is the kind of thing they do. I don’t understand it,” Obama said at a town hall meeting in Berea, Ohio, Tuesday. “Two points: One, they know they are lying about what my energy plan is, but the other thing is they are making fun of a step that every expert says would absolutely reduce our oil consumption by 3 to 4 percent.

“It’s like these guys take pride in being ignorant,” he said.

Also in Berea, Obama (defended his remark about inflating tires, a first response to the favorite Republican attack of the moment, which he'd ignored for a few days as the GOP mailed gas gauges to reporters.

Wild Thing's comment..........

Ignorant? The Obamaloon couldn’t find America on a map. a-hem .....57 States???

Keep running your mouth, Hussein, your good at one thing, insulting everyone in the country.

At least he didn’t say it was RACIST!!!!!!! That’s an improvement, isn’t it? hahaha

Man At Obama's Ohio Townhall Shouts Out About Pledge of Allegiance To Be Done

Heckler at Obama event in Berea, Ohio

Breitbart.com

A man who wore press credentials and took photographs from a platform interrupted Barack Obama's town-hall meeting Tuesday by shouting complaints that the Democratic presidential candidate had not called for the audience to say the Pledge of Allegiance. Obama invited the heckler to lead the audience in the pledge, and he did.

Asked why he had interrupted the event, the man said: "He (Obama) said it was a town-hall meeting" and open to the public. He expressed dismay that Obama hadn't called for the pledge himself, saying, "You all learned the pledge in the first grade."

Wild Thing's comment..........

The guy has a point and lot of guts. If he is not a plant then I congratulate him. If he is a plant to try and show Obama in some kind of Patriotic light then it stinks to use our Pledge of Allegiance in this way.

Bikers Roar For McCain At Rally

Bikers roar for McCain at Rally: GOP candidate stops at Sturgis

STURGIS

Politicians are used to hearing the roar of the crowd, but Sen. John McCain heard an entirely different roar Monday night at The Buffalo Chip.

Motorcycles pounded out a welcome to the Republican presidential candidate at the campground in Sturgis, as he made a campaign appearance.

“This is my first time here but I enjoyed the sound,” McCain said. “It's the sound of freedom.”

He noted that his Democratic opponent, Sen. Barack Obama, had received a loud ovation in Berlin during a European tour last week. “I'll take the roar of 50,000 Harleys any day,” McCain said.

Thousands of bikers, most clad in black T-shirts and leather, cheered for McCain. He appeared with his wife, Cindy McCain, Sen. John Thune and Gov. Mike Rounds during a salute to veterans and people currently serving in the military. The tribute was followed by a concert featuring Kellie Pickler and Kid Rock.

McCain brought a group of national reporters with him to The Buffalo Chip and they were agape as they snapped photos of girls dancing on stripper poles, muscular bikers strolling around and the general air of freewheeling frivolity at the campground.

McCain took the opportunity to blast Congress for taking an August recess in a time of economic peril. “Tell 'em to come back and get back to work,” McCain said.

He said the country needs to “drill offshore and drill now” to alleviate high gas prices.

He also said he would ensure a “respectable closure” to the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.

McCain discussed several national issues during a half-hour interview on the Straight Talk Express, his famed campaign bus.

He said Thune, whose name has been mentioned as a possible running mate, was a highly accomplished senator but he declined to say if he was under serious consideration for the Vice President slot.

“He (Thune) has made a name for himself in the Senate,” McCain said. “He has led on a variety of issues.”

But he said his campaign team had to “get through the process” before he could discuss potential running mates.

Thune said he doubted he would be chosen, said he feels a governor or senator from a bigger state would be best choice.

McCain also had kind words for Obama, at least as a person.

“I admire him, I respect him, he's one of the most eloquent speakers to come along in a long time,” McCain said. “(But) we've got sharp differences.”

Among them are the war in Iraq, where McCain has long called for an increase in troops and a change in strategy. Obama had called for a quick pullout of troops but has since tempered his stance.

McCain said his consistent approach is one reason his message is getting out and he is gaining support. A national poll released Monday showed him with a narrow lead.

“An overwhelming, whopping one-point lead,” McCain said with a smile.

“We'll take it,” Cindy McCain interjected.

On the stage, Sen. McCain joked that he noticed there was a beauty contest at the campground and he asked his wife if she would enter. She would have the rare opportunity to serve both as first lady and Miss Buffalo Chip.

The crowd cheered and both McCains smiled.

“We've got to have a little humor in the campaign,” Sen. McCain had said earlier during the bus ride. He said the controversial TV commercial that compared Obama to Paris Hilton and Brittany Spears was simply that.

But he had serious comments on health care, saying dramatic changes are needed to prevent the poorest people from getting the least care. That's also the issue with fuel prices, McCain said, since the poorest people with the oldest cars have the hardest time paying for $4 a gallon fuel.

That's why he supports expanded drilling for oil.

McCain said he was also concerned about health care for veterans and service members. Some veterans and the South Dakota Democratic Party staged a rally in Sturgis Monday to criticize McCain for supposedly “rationing” health care for veterans and service members, but McCain said they were distorting his words. He said he wanted to send uniformed personnel to regular health care facilities with “a plastic card” to cover the costs while Veterans Administration facilities focus on veterans who suffer from post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and wounds from improvised explosive devices.

“I'd love to have that debate with Democrats and that group,” he said.

McCain, who was a prisoner of war from 1967-73, said he didn't suffer from PTSD. “I never had a problem, believe it or not,” he said, attributing much of that to his age, since he was nearly 30 while many current service members are a decade younger. “It took me 15 minutes to readjust.”

He said the current wars are extremely violent and bloody. “That's tough,” McCain said.

He didn't have much knowledge on the proposed Deep Underground Science and Engineering Lab (DUSEL) at the former Homestake Gold Mine in Lead. “I'm sure it's a worthwhile project,” McCain said.

But he said he didn't support congressional earmarks, which helped to fund the proposed national science lab.

“It breeds corruption,” McCain said, pointing to former congressman Duke Cunningham, who was sent to prison after taking bribes, and Sen. Ted Stevens, the long-serving Republican from Alaska who is under fire for accepting gifts.

“Just let it compete with everything else,” McCain said of items set aside the earmarks. “I just want them to compete fairly.”

Most of the people in the crowd seemed in support of the Arizona senator.

Steve Mitchell of Great Bend, Kan., and Kim Briggs of Oklahoma City said they are McCain backers.

“We just like what he stands for,” Mitchell said.

“I like what he stands for,” Briggs echoed. “I don't want my hard-earned money to be given away. People here are hard workers, conservative.”

Mitchell and Briggs said they were proud of McCain coming to the Rally, which they have attended five or six times.

“I thought it was great,” Mitchell said.

McCain said he feels the campaign is turning his way and he is finally getting a chance to speak to the American people.

“I think we're starting to get the penetration on the issues that are important,” he said.

Wild Thing's comment.........

I can't help it, LMAO I just keep thinking of Obama being at something like this. Not that everyone would want to go or should go, but that Obama would be much more comfortable at a Black Panther rally or slapping the knee of Louis Farrakhan at "let's hate whitie" luncheon.

Illegal Obama donors: Middle Eastern Arabs

Illegal Obama donors: Middle Eastern Arabs

Gazan brothers' illicit contributions listed in government campaign filings

JERUSALEM – Palestinian brothers inside the Hamas-controlled Gaza Strip are listed in government election filings as having donated $29,521.54 to Sen. Barack Obama's campaign.

Donations of this nature would violate election laws, including prohibitions on receiving contributions from foreigners and guidelines against accepting more than $2,300 from one individual during a single election, Bob Biersack, a spokesman for the Federal Election Commission, told WND in response to a query.

The contributions also raise numerous questions about the Obama campaign's lax online donation form, which apparently allows for the possibility of foreign contributions.

Last week, the Atlas Shrugs blog outlined a series of donations in 2007 made to Obama's campaign from two individuals, Monir Edwan and Hosam Edwan, totaling $29,521.54.

In an online form on Obama's campaign site, the Edwans listed their street as "Tal Esaltan," which they wrote was located in "Rafah, GA."

Rafah is not a city in Georgia. The Atlas blog immediately raised concerns that the money may have been donated from the Gaza Strip town of Rafah.

The Edwans' donations are listed in both FEC filings and other election filing sites, such as CampaignMoney and donordata.org.

Monir made 20 donations ranging from $717 to $2017.50 from October through November 2007. His donations totaled $24321.41. Hosam made seven donations ranging from $508.63 to $1725.96, totaling $5,200.13, all in October 2007.

A WND investigation tracked down the Edwans, who are brothers living in the Tal Esaltan neighborhood of Rafah, a large refugee camp in the Hamas-controlled Gaza Strip.

The Edwans are a large clan that include top Hamas supporters.

Speaking to WND, the two brothers praised Obama and admitted giving the money online to his campaign. They said they are not U.S. citizens or green card holders but are citizens of "Palestine."

The Edwans denied they are affiliated with Hamas. Palestinian sources in Gaza confirmed the Edwans in question are secular, but could not say whether they supported Hamas.

Monir and Hasam Edwan denied their financial transactions online – listed as donations in U.S. government election filings – were actual donations to Obama's campaign. Instead they claimed they purchased about $30,000 in Obama T-shirts from the presidential candidate's online store – a contention that did not hold up during a WND interview, when they changed their story several times.

"My brother Hosam and I knew that Obama will be a big hit even before he became a candidate. We knew the guy would be a celebrity in Gaza so we decided to invest the amount of $29,000 to buy Obama T-shirts from his website and sell them in Gaza," Monir Edwan told WND, speaking by cell phone from Gaza.

"I know on the back of this story Obama rivals will present our business as a donation and they will try to use this story to let Obama fall, but I'm telling you, we bought T-shirts," Edwan maintained.

Edwan said any profit made from purportedly selling the Obama T-shirts was not returned to the Obama campaign.

"We have nothing to do with the Obama campaign. We just like Obama and believe he will be the best for the Palestinians and for the world."

At first Monir Edwan claimed he sold the T-shirts in Gaza for around $9 and that a profit was made.

"Some young men even bought the T-shirts for 60 shekel ($17.29), which is a lot to spend in Gaza on a T-shirt, but that is how much Gazans like Obama," Edwan claimed.

But it was pointed out to Edwan the T-shirts for sale on Obama's website are listed as $20.08 and that selling the merchandise for less would not yield a profit.

"Maybe we sold the shirts for a lot more. I can't remember now," said Edwan.

Asked why he would purchase T-shirts at such a high rate and pay the cost of shipping when he could pay a company to produce T-shirts for less, Edwan replied, "We wanted the shirts to come from the campaign."

But Edwan could not explain how he managed to get shipments of T-shirts into the Gaza Strip during the months he claimed to have purchased the merchandise, since Israel imposed a tight closure of the Gaza Strip starting in June 2007 that lasted until June 2008, when the Israeli government agreed to a cease-fire with Hamas in Gaza.

"We don't want to cause any damage to Obama's campaign," was Edwan's reply.

Edwan said he wants Obama to be president.

"Not just the people in Gaza but people from all over the world are rooting for this great man," he told WND.

FEC spokesman Biersack told WND contributions from overseas are allowed if the donations are coming from U.S. citizens or green card carriers. But he said accepting money from foreigners would violate election provisions.

He said there are strict guidelines against accepting more than $2,300 from one individual during a single election.

"I am not familiar with the particulars of the case, so I am commenting in general. The FEC will have to examine all the circumstances before determining any wrongdoing," Biersack clarified.

Obama's campaign did not return WND phone calls or e-mail queries.

Wild Thing's comment.......

It would be no surprise to find out that EVERY enemy of America was funneling money to Obama through many channels to “clean it” -— it is in the interest of our enemies that he be elected for obvious reasons, a list of which would be too long to list.

You would think that most Americans would realize that Obama is not fit to be president based solely on the type of people who are supporting him.

....Thank you Mark for sending this article to me.

Obama Asks Panel to Restore Michigan and Florida Votes

Obama Wants Full Voting Rights for Florida and Michigan Delegates

NY Times

It seems like another lifetime ago, but remember all the fuss about Michigan and Florida?

After those states held their primaries in violation of Democratic Party rules, the party cracked down on them and said their delegates would not have a voice at the national convention in Denver. Then in May, the rules committee agreed to let their delegates have half a vote each.

Now Senator Barack Obama, the party’s presumptive nominee, has asked the credentials committee to let the two states have full voting rights at the convention after all.

The request is likely to be granted since it comes from the all-but-certain nominee, who now controls the party apparatus.

The move was not unexpected. No nominee could afford to alienate the delegates, and voters, from two such important states.

Moreover, Mr. Obama had essentially promised the two states that he would seek to restore their full voting strength, as we wrote on June 2 after the rules committee restored only half a vote to each of the states’ delegates.

Why would their voting strength matter when it is clear who the nominee will be?

Because, as Senator Carl Levin, Democrat of Michigan, said at the time, party conventions do more than pick a nominee; they also begin to establish the framework for the primary calendar in the next presidential election. And Michigan, for one, has been trying for years to topple Iowa and New Hampshire from their first-in-the-nation voting perches. Having full votes at the convention will give Michigan more power to pursue that agenda.

At the same time, Mr. Obama’s “request” to restore full voting strength to Florida and Michigan is likely to cause heartburn for party officials, who have struggled to maintain some authority over the primary calendar.

By granting Mr. Obama’s request, the party will essentially be giving a green light to other states to ignore the calendar next time because there will be no consequences.

The credentials committee is to meet Aug. 24, the day before the convention begins in Denver, to determine who will be seated.

In a letter today to committee officials, Mr. Obama asked that a resolution be passed to entitle each delegate from Florida and Michigan to cast a full vote.

The party must be united in the fall, he said, adding, “To that end, Democrats in Florida and Michigan must know that they are full partners and colleagues in our historic mission to reshape Washington and lead our country in a new direction.”

The party sent back a noncommittal response noting that it had received Mr. Obama’s request.

“We deeply appreciate and value Senator Obama’s perspective on this important issue,” the Democratic National Committee said in a statement. “This matter will be the top priority for the credentials committee when we meet on August 24th. As always our goal is to ensure a fair process and a unified Democratic Party so that we can win in November.”

The status of the two states was an explosive issue throughout much of the primary season. Back then, the Obama camp was on the other side, arguing that the two states broke the rules by moving up their primaries and should be punished.

His chief rival, Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton, had received more votes in both states but Mr. Obama had taken his name off the ballot in Michigan, and neither campaigned in Florida.

Mrs. Clinton had campaigned fiercely for the delegates in Florida and Michigan to be given full voting status, hoping this would legitimize their primaries, which in turn might bolster her argument that she had won more popular votes than Mr. Obama. Still, she trailed him in delegates, which is the standard by which the nominee is chosen.

The whole subject remains a sore point with some Clinton supporters.

But Mr. Obama’s letter today seems timed to try to minimize any damage, coming almost two months after Mrs. Clinton threw her support to him and after it appears unlikely that she will be his choice for vice president.

Later in the day, Mrs. Clinton urged the party to grant Mr. Obama’s request to restore full voting rights for Michigan and Florida. Here is her statement:

"During the campaign, I strongly advocated for the Democratic Party to seat the Florida and Michigan delegation with their full votes. The Democratic Party has always stood up for the principle of counting every person’s vote. Today, Senator Obama has requested that the Credentials Committee give Florida and Michigan delegates their full votes. This is the right position for the Democratic Party and for the country and I urge the Credentials Committee to restore full votes to Florida and Michigan delegates."

Wild Thing's comment............

The Messiah has spoken it seems.

My first thought was why would he do this? It stands to help Hillary. What could Obama stand to gain?

Wanna see some examples of the "reaction" to the Obamassiah's "request"?

Here is a link to the same information as above that the NY Times publised but this one is at ABC News Blog. They have a special palce under the article to leave comments.

If you want to just Click on this link for a real eyeopener, especially from the Hillary supporters.

IMHO, if the reactions I read so far are an indication of what's coming Obamassiah's way, he might want to try to find a new FULL TIME employee, with full health coverage and an excellent life insurance policy, to start his "Obama '08 Campaign Bus" for him until AFTER he loses the election.

The "replies" are in "reverse order" with the "latest" on top. Just th ereverse as how it is on here.

Here are just a few examples:

* "Oh - NOW you want to count all the delegates in FL & MI - you sure are arrogant! How dare you even suggest this after you blocked re-votes in both states, and demanded your "fair" share of votes - that you did not earn.
Senator Hillary Clinton EARNED her votes - she is qualified to lead our country - you are NOT and will never win." - Perry

* "This is one of the slimiest things he's done, and that is saying a LOT. I cannot express how angry I am. Obama has gone too far this time. I disliked the way he ran his campaign before, but now, you can bet, I (and millions of other ticked off democrats) will work day and night to work against Obama. "- Jersey

* "Obama is now telling us that those delegates should count in full now that it won't count toward who will win the nomination (since he has been crowned). Now, he wants justice???? Now, he wants those delegates to count in full???? Does he even understand how arrogant and self-serving this appears? He is truly in his ego-filled bubble. This makes my vote for McCain easier as a lifelong Democrat. "- Katherine

* "So now, he is the ruler of the DNC rules committee as well. So even though they were doing his bidding, he now throws them under the bus. I hope he gives back those votes in Michigan that were NEVER cast for him. Obama is the worst candidate the Dems could have put forth. He is the most politically expedient flip-flopper I have ever seen in my lifetime. Please, superdelegates, give us Hillary at the convention.
Hillary '08" - JO CHGO

* "Obama is attempting to "unite" the party so he can squeeze out Hillary as a VP choice. Did you hear David Gergen's warning to Obama today on This Week? Get ready for the Republican Attack Machine, they were just priming the pump this past week, with great success, so you better have Hillary to watch your back. I really don't think Obama's brain, Axelrod, is smart enough to do it." - West Coast Messenger

* "All I can say is I watched the whole DNC rules committee hearing on that Saturday. This is like asking the rape victim to fall in love with the attacker." - won't _forget

* "Illegitimate candidate now wants legitimacy and validation. I guess those pesky poll numbers can sober anyone up. I guess 'Da Rulz' don't matter anymore.
The DNC can ignore the rigging of the caucuses, keep a complicit silence while you play the race card in your own party, carry you over the finish line to hand you the nomination, now they can try and help you with the unity pony.
But don't expect a reward vote from people who see through this chicanery.
PUMA!!!! " - lamecandidate

* "OMG people...the DNC should not have given votes at ALL on this. Those states were told NOT to move their primaries or their votes would NOT be counted. Period. Unfortunate. But they did it anyway. Yes, the voters had no say, their elected officials made this decision. However, rules are rules. Supposedly. In this democracy. Supposedly. I am a PROUD Hillary supporter and it is the ONE thing I disagreed with her on. Once those decisions were made to not count the votes, that should have been the end of it. But as an earlier poster stated, the DNC does whatever the hell it wants to get "The Precious" in office. And no, he does NOT have the nomination, officially. Period GO PUMA " - Dawne

* "Hillary suspended her campaign. She never conceded. She hasn't released her delegates. She is the real nominee of this party and they better own up to it. Obama can not be trusted. He is a empty suit.
Now there will be a fight on the convention floor.
This is a whole new ball game.
DNC wake up and stop drinking the Kool Aide. You have a winning nominee-Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton. Super Delegates wake up with Obama you lose. He is tanking. He tried the race card against Mc Cain and it backfired. Now he wants Michigan and Florida-he's desperate. Even he knows he can't win. Give Hillary the nomination which she won or lose big time in November and risk losing the voters of the Democratic Party. Without them you have no party. The party will be over.
The last one to leave turn the lights out." - basil

McCain Going To Sturgis Motorcycle Rally Week

McCain to roar into motorcycle haven in South Dakota

SEN. McCAIN EXPECTED TO VISIT STURGIS DURING RALLY WEEK

On: 2008-04-30 17:12:33

Senator John McCain is scheduled to appear at the Buffalo Chip on Monday, August 4th, just before performances by Kelly Pickler and Kid Rock. Senator McCain will be participating in the Chip's annual ceremony in honor of American servicemen and veterans.

"We are honored that a patriot of Senator McCain's stature would take time during his Presidential campaign to help us honor our veterans and active duty military personnel," said campground owner Rod Woodruff.

The Buffalo Chip has conducted a veteran’s tribute for many years. Past tributes have included The Patriot Guard Riders, The U.S. Army Golden Knights, B-1B fly-bys and numerous color guards and flag-folding ceremonies.

"We are honored that a patriot of Senator McCain's stature would take time during his Presidential campaign to help us honor our veterans and active duty military personnel," said campground owner Rod Woodruff.

McCain will also be joined by Kelly Pickler and the mercurial Kid Rock, according to the Sioux Falls Argus Leader newspaper online.

With a population of 780,000, South Dakota on the Great Plains is hardly an election-day prize for either McCain's Republican Party or rival Democrats.

But the state doubles in population during the annual August motorcycle rally in Sturgis, at the foot of the Black Hills, that draws an estimated 500,000 to 600,000 out-of-state "wild hogs" who roar cross country to celebrate their bike culture.

McCain plans to maximize on the crowds by providing the opening act at an annual concert that honours American military veterans at the Buffalo Chip campground, his campaign said Sunday.

The annual motorcycle rally - from August 4-10 this year - is one of the country's largest, with a reputation for notorious and outrageous behaviour.

A novelty draw to the Buffalo Chip campground this year will be a firing range for cyclists to try out automatic rifles, including vintage World War I machine guns, camp owner Rod Woodruff told the Argus Leader.

It was not known if McCain would take a turn at the firing range - or if he would draw a crowd as large as the 200,000 who flocked to hear Democratic presumptive nominee Barack Obama in Berlin recently.

Wild Thing's comment.........

I can't imagine any of these guys getting a thrill up their leg over Obama’s oratory skills. LOL

OK Now imagine Obama on a Harley..........heh heh Yeah, thought so.

Can you imagine Obama wading into a huge crowd of bikers with his body guards in tow. Body guards from Farakhan.

How would Obama start his talk?

“Any of you all been to Berlin?”
“Hope you all got your tires inflated?”
“We’re all here to save the planet”

Any other suggestions?

Chicken Obama Terrified Of Townhall Meetings With McCain

Obama Agrees to Three Presidential Debates, No Town-Halls

In a letter [reproduced below] to the Commission on Presidential Debates, Barack Obama's campaign manager David Plouffe has agreed to three presidential debates and one vice-presidential debate.
The McCain campaign has called on Obama to hold interactive town-hall style events around the country. Obama has not agreed to any such events.

August 2, 2008 Mr. Frank J. Fahrenkopf, Jr. Mr. Paul G. Kirk, Jr. Commission on Presidential Debates 1200 New Hampshire Avenue, N.W. Suite 445

Washington, D.C. 20036

Dear Chairmen Kirk and Fahrenkopf:

I am writing on behalf of Senator Obama to accept the Commission on Presidential Debates’ framework for three presidential debates and one vice presidential debate to be held in September and October. Senator Obama has designated Congressman Rahm Emanuel as our representative to meet with the Commission and the McCain campaign to review the specifics of the Commission’s proposal, discuss any requested changes to that proposal, and resolve any issues left open by the Commission’s framework. We will make our representative available at the earliest convenience of the Commission and the McCain campaign.

Due to the late date of the two parties’ nominating conventions, and the relatively short period between the end of the conventions and the first proposed debate, it is likely that the four Commission debates will be the sole series of debates in the fall campaign. Consequently, we believe that finalizing the arrangements for these debates with promptness and certainty is in the interests of both campaigns and the American people.

Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions.

David Plouffe
Campaign Manager

Wild Thing's comment........

Townhall meetings are not a controlled environment. Anything goes and who knows what questions would be asked. Obama knows that the "media" will feed him the questions prior to their "debates" in order to give him time to prepare. Obama doesn't think well on his feet. He's going to need to know the questions ahead of time so he can rehearse his answers.

He’s a coward. I hope the GOP runs an ad that says “Barack Obama is too afraid to participate in town halls with John McCain. How can we trust him to defend America?”

McCain's Camp Responds To Obama's Backing Out Of Towhall Debates

Obama backs away from McCain's debate challenge

Washington

In May, when a McCain adviser proposed a series of pre-convention appearances at town hall meetings, Obama said, "I think that's a great idea." In summer stumping on the campaign trail, McCain has often noted that Obama had not followed through and joined him in any events.

Obama's reversal on town hall debates is part of a play-it-safe strategy he's adopted since claiming the nomination and grabbing a lead in national polls. Advisers to the Illinois senator, speaking on condition of anonymity because they are not authorized to discuss strategy, say Obama is reluctant to take chances or give McCain a high-profile stage now that Obama's the front-runner.

On Saturday, in a letter to the Commission on Presidential Debates, Obama campaign manager David Plouffe said the short period between the last political convention and the first proposed debate made it likely that the commission-sponsored debates would be the only ones.

McCain's campaign disparaged Obama for backing off. "We understand it might be beneath a worldwide celebrity of Barack Obama's magnitude to appear at town hall meetings alongside John McCain and directly answer questions from the American people, but we hope he'll reconsider," spokesman Brian Rogers said.

Oh, that's gonna leave a mark.

ROTFLMAO

I wondered what the McCain camp was going to say but this....but this is much better then I thought it would be.

They hit it out of the park!

Watch Hussein Obama when he speaks. His head swings from left to right to left to right and appears to be looking at the crowd.

However, he NEVER looks straight on down the middle.

That's because there's no TelePrompter there.

He has one on the left and one on the right - and his head swivels back and forth like someone at a tennis match.

It's hysterical.

I'd like to see what would happen if he swung to look at one and it was BLANK.

He'd panic, loose his place, and we'd see a blithering idiot standing there uttering uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh

Obama Aide Concedes 'Dollar Bill' Remark Referred to His Race

Sen. Barack Obama's chief strategist conceded that the Democratic presidential candidate was referring to his race when he said Republicans were trying to scare voters by suggesting Obama "doesn't look like all those other presidents on the dollar bills."

The comment had triggered a charge Thursday from Sen. John McCain's campaign manager that Obama had "played the race card... from the bottom of the deck."

Obama's camp initially denied the remark was a reference to Obama's race.

Wild Thing's comment..........

Has anyone else noticed that Obama will NEVER take responsbility for his own words, or deeds?

It's clear Obama is using his race to further his campaign. That he's doing it at the expense of others is deplorable. The Clinton's are masters of this techniques but it appears Obama can teach even them a trick or two.

Obama and Heckler

Hecklers in Florida have accused Barack Obama of ignoring the plight of the "oppressed" black community.

Three protestors holding a banner reading "What about the black community Obama?" stood up during a meeting in St Petersburg where the democratic presidential candidate was speaking about the US economy.

Wild Thing's comment......

He probably paid them to show up, thinking the average American would see that sign and think, "Hmm, he's not one of those Jesse Jackson types--he doesn't really care about the African American community."

If he did at least he should have had his reaction written down in front of him. He is absolutely pathetic as a speaker in every way. Again, Presidential material, I think NOT.

Dr. Danny Jazarevic Statement About Obama's Canceled Visit

The McCain campaign issued the following Statement On Barack Obama's Canceled Troop Visits

The McCain campaign issued the following statement today:

Today, Dr. Danny Jazarevic, who served as the Chief of Trauma, Critical Care and Vascular Surgery at Landstuhl, issued the following statement on Barack Obama's canceled visit to Ramstein and Landstuhl:

"Last week, Senator Obama skipped a visit with wounded U.S. troops at Landstuhl Regional Medical Center in Germany because the Pentagon would not allow campaign staff or media to accompany him into the hospital. I served as director of trauma surgery at that hospital for nearly four years and saw the effect that a visit from a celebrity like Senator Obama could have on morale. During that time, I do not recall a single member of Congress canceling a visit with the troops despite being just a few hours away, but Senator Obama seems to have been more concerned with how the visit would affect him than how it would affect the soldiers recovering from wounds received in the service of their country."

Decorated Army colonel, vascular surgeon

Dr. Danny Jazarevic wears many hats (and coats), including that of a surgeon, an Army colonel, husband/father, musician, karate enthusiast and history buff.

Dr. Danny Jazarevic served as the Chief of Trauma, Critical Care and Vascular Surgery at Landstuhl Regional Medical Center. In 1984, Dr. Jazarevic joined the United States Army and later the Florida National Guard. He has since served in Honduras, Africa, Saudi Arabia, Bosnia, and Iraq. From December 2002 through January 2006, Dr. Jazarevic was assigned to the U.S. Army Hospital in Landstuhl, Germany, where he served as Chief of Trauma, Critical Care and Vascular Surgery. During this period, he deployed to Iraq numerous times, including with the 101st Airborne Division Forward Surgical Team and as Director of Operations for the 44th U.S. Army Medical Command. He is currently the Chief Trauma Surgeon at a civilian medical center in Florida, and also serves as a full Colonel in the U.S. Army Reserve. Dr. Jazarevic has been awarded the Bronze Star Medal.

And this from The Mountaineer

Imagine attending a dinner with six fascinating people.

The first to arrive is a U.S. Army colonel in charge of all the clinical operations in Iraq, including dealing with all wounded American soldiers.

Next to arrive is the son of a diplomat who speaks seven languages proficiently.

Third to arrive is a brilliant vascular surgeon with an active career in critical care at five county hospitals Palm Beach, Fla.

Next to join the group is a man who defected to Austria from Croatia in 1982 and was shot in the leg while crossing the border.

The fifth man to be seated is a black belt in karate, a former bouncer, bodyguard and trumpet player. The last man to arrive holds a doctorate in history and enjoys classical music, painting and military scale modeling.

What is even more extraordinary is that all six men are actually one man, Dr. Slobodan “Danny” Jazarevic, a new vascular surgeon, a specially trained doctor who performs surgery on blood vessels, at Haywood Regional Medical Center.

It would take many dinners with Jazarevic, also called Dr. J., to scratch the surface of everything he has done in his lifetime.

His nine-page resume neatly sums up his many accomplishments. Most recently, he just returned from Iraq where he was the director of clinical operations for the 44th U.S. Army Medical Command in Iraq, 18th Airborne Corps, Fort Bragg, N.C.

As the director, he was in charge of about 17,000 service personnel, six combat army surgical hospitals and four forward surgical teams in addition to all first, second and third echelon U.S. Army medical facilities in the Iraqi theater, including the eight air ambulance companies with 56 helicopters and ground medical transportation assets.

He said there were times when three planeloads of wounded soldiers would arrive within four to five hours or 20 wounded soldiers could arrive in 20 minutes at one of the U.S. military hospitals.

“There were times when I would operate for 37 to 38 hours at a stretch,” the 48-year-old Jazarevic said. “Yet, if a patient reached a U.S. surgical facility alive, his or her chances of survival were more than 95 percent.” Prior to becoming director, he was the chief of vascular surgery and trauma surgery/critical care at Landstuhl Regional Medical Center in Germany in 2003.

Since 1994, Jazarevic (pronounced Ya-zar-a-vich) has served in the Florida National Guard as a lieutenant colonel and in capacity of senior surgical consultant to the National Guard’s state surgeon. He has participated in various medical military activities, especially since the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001.

In January 2003, he requested a transfer to Army active duty to contribute to the War on Terror.

Jazarevic was also a trauma and vascular surgeon and a critical care specialist at various hospitals in Palm Beach, Fla., where he introduced endovascular surgery and endovascular repair of abdominal aortic aneurysm in 1999.

Jazarevic graduated from the University of Zagreb and the Yugoslav Military Medical Academy in Belgrade. He interned at Vanderbilt University School of Medicine and the Lankenau Hospital at Jefferson University in Philadelphia. He completed his fellowship in surgical critical care/trauma at the State University of New York at Stony Brook Health Sciences Center, where he was the clinical instructor in surgery.

Jazarevic also served as chief surgeon for the 12th Evacuation Hospital VII Corps in Operation Desert Shield and Desert Storm in Saudi Arabia and Iraq from 1990 to 1991.

He was the Mission Chief Medical Officer for the 502 MASH, or Medical Readiness Exercise in Zambia, Africa, in 1992; he was a special assignment intelligence officer for the territories of former Yugoslavia in the 18th Military Intelligence Battalion and the 66th MI Brigade. He has 28 military honors and decorations, including a Bronze Star, an Order of Military Medical Merit and a Meritorious Service Medal. So how did this larger-than-life, experienced trauma surgeon find Haywood County?

Dr. J. and his wife, Lori, camped in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park for many years. After seeing a house in Waynesville in Log Home Living Magazine, the couple bought it so Lori could have a place to live while her husband was in Germany.

“I love it here; I love the town,” said Lori Jazarevic, director of rehabilitation services at the Brian Center. “We were robbed five times in Palm Beach.”

The couple was married in 1997 and had a baby girl named Gabriella on Oct. 12, 2005.

Wild Thing's comment........

Obama is so completely out of his element there is no way he would ever get it.

This fine Doctor hit the nail on the head! But even this doctor would not be able to get through to a person like B.Hussein Obama.

More and more Obama is sounding like an elevated street thug, not an educated black man. I have noticed he has lapsed into his ghetto accent lately, it appears this is what he does when he gets ticked off.

God bless this Doctor and his family.

Poser Obama : Wants Reparations To Blacks, Native Americans

The debt has already been paid!

Obama suggests reparations to blacks, Native Americans

Says 'the most important thing to do is not just offer words, but offer deeds'

http://www.humanevents.com/article.php?id=26002

Sen. Barack Obama told a meeting in Chicago the U.S. should review how it can make amends for "offenses" committed during its history.

And one author is speculating that might even include reparations for al-Qaida soldiers, since, after all, they've been held in violation of their "rights."

Obama's comments came in a meeting with members of UNITY '08, an event for journalists who claim membership in various minorities.

Obama, according to the report in the Honolulu Star-Bulletin, stopped just short of endorsing an official U.S. apology to various groups. He said instead the nation should acknowledge treating certain groups poorly.

"There's no doubt that when it comes to our treatment of Native Americans as well as other persons of color in this country, we've got some very sad and difficult things to account for," Obama told the convention.

He has told Hawaii reporters he supports a federal plan to recognize native Hawaiians. He was asked for his thoughts about a formal U.S. apology to American Indians.

"I personally would want to see our tragic history, or the tragic elements of our history, acknowledged," he told conventioneers.

"I consistently believe that when it comes to whether it's Native Americans or African-American issues or reparations, the most important thing for the U.S. government to do is not just offer words, but offer deeds," he said.

The issue of reparations to African-Americans for the historic slave trade or Native Americans for the "invasion" by Europeans periodically has been raised. Several years ago a lawsuit was filed claiming damages for labor at a current value of $1.4 trillion.

Obama said, "The biggest problem that we have in terms of race relations, I think, is dealing with the legacy of past discrimination which has resulted in extreme disparities in terms of poverty, in terms of wealth and in terms of income. Our inner cities are a legacy of what happened in the past. And the question is less assigning blame or rooting out active racism, because that's not the reason that those inner cities are in such bad shape, but rather figuring out are we willing to make the investments to deal with that past history so we can move forward to a brighter future? And that involves investing in early childhood education, fixing the schools in those communities, being willing to work in terms of job retraining. And those are serious investments."

But at the American Spectator, Jeffrey Lord, CEO of QubeTV and former Reagan White House political director, said the logical extension of such thought obviously could include reparations for al-Qaida.

"Does Barack Obama believe it's time for America to apologize to al-Qaida?" he asked. "You think I'm joking, right? Wrong."

"The push has begun among Obama's fellow-liberals for reparations to Osama bin Laden's al-Qaida warriors. Look no further than the Los Angeles Times review of the new book by liberal journalist Jane Mayer, 'The Dark Side: The Inside Story of How The War on Terror Turned Into a War on American Ideals.' Mayer's indictment of the Bush administration's fight against terrorism has predictably received glowing reviews from the gatekeepers of liberalism, including a July 15th review from Times staff writer Tim Rutten.

Please GO HERE to read entire article , thank you.

Reparations - Extortion paid by those who were never slaveowners to those who were never slaves!!!!

I’ve had enough of leftist whackos telling us what to do.

Barack Hussein Obama doesn’t have any African-American ancestors. He does, apparently, have ancestors who were slaveholders. So logic dictates that he pay up.

....Thank you Mark for sending this article to me.

Rabid Obama Supporter Ludacris zand His Obama Video

There's a new celebrity tribute to Barack Obama, but his campaign isn't exactly loving it.

The rapper Ludacris has a video, titled "Obama is here," that predicts the Democrat will win the presidency and urges blacks to get out and vote. It features footage of Obama dancing on the "Ellen Degeneres Show" and shooting hoops with US soldiers.

B. Hussein Obama and Chris "Ludacris" Bridges

"you can't stop what's bout to happen, we bout to make history the first black president is destined and it's meant to be the threats ain't fazing us, the nooses or the jokes so get off your ass, black people, it's time to get out and vote! paint the White House black and I'm sure that's got 'em terrified!"

All of the Lyrics to Ludacris, Obama supporter

I’m back on it like I just signed my record deal
yeah the best is here, the Bentley Coup paint is dripping wet, it got sex appeal
never should have hated
you never should’ve doubted him
with a slot in the president’s iPod Obama shattered ‘em
Said I handled his biz and I’m one of his favorite rappers
Well give Luda a special pardon if I’m ever in the slammer
Better yet put him in office, make me your vice president
Hillary hated on you, so that b^$&%* is irrelevant
Jesse talking slick and apologizing for what?
if you said it then you meant it how you want it have a gut!
and all you other politicians trying to hate on my man,
watch us win a majority vote in every state on my man
you can’t stop what’s bout to happen, we bout to make history
the first black president is destined and it’s meant to be
the threats ain’t fazing us, the nooses or the jokes
so get off your ass, black people, it’s time to get out and vote!
paint the White House black and I’m sure that’s got ‘em terrified
McCain don’t belong in ANY chair unless he’s paralyzed
Yeah I said it cause Bush is mentally handicapped
Ball up all of his speeches and I throw em like candy wrap
cause what you talking I hear nothing even relevant
and you the worst of all 43 presidents
get out and vote or the end will be near
the world is ready for change because Obama is here!
cause Obama is here
The world is ready for change because Obama is here!

And this...............................

Late that year he met with the rap giant Ludacris in his Chicago office. Ludacris, who Pepsi dropped as a spokesman in 2004 after Fox News Channel host Bill O’Reilly exposed his putrid lyrics, said afterwards that Obama felt like family to him. In March 2007 Ludacris, whose hit songs include “Move B——,” headlined an Obama fundraiser in Atlanta.

Obama even recorded a voice over for a new album out this June from rapper Q-tip. Will it contain lyrics like these sonnets from another Q-tip song? “Close the door, ‘ight let a n—— rock. Cause we ‘bout to eat real s-—, not s-— slop.”

Wild Thing's comment........

Is Obama going to RENOUNCE this intolerant attack on women, the elderly and the disabled?

The bus is waiting.

Let's see something like this......."Ludicrous isn’t the person I thought he was." mayb e???? Like he has with the others. Yeah, that will fly!

As usual, Obama hasn't condemned anything. One of his campaign people Bill Burton did! In fact in the past Obama called this guy a great artist.

Well one thing for sure this probably sealed the deal on the PUMA crowd ( Hillary's fans) where before some might have decided to hold their nose and vote for him now no one will.LOL Well at least the Hillary people will be ticked for sure.

Obama and his followers are extremely dangerous. They have some serious psychological issues that are overshadowed by a profound hatred of white Christian Americans. The damage they have in store for America will be irreversible.

Obama will set this country back on having equal rights and good racial relations.

Obama tied to Iraqi government fraud?!!

Obama tied to Iraqi government fraud?

Hundreds of millions in deals with candidate's associates

Jerusalem

Sen. Barack Obama's office engaged in six months of negotiations with a company controlled by convicted criminal Tony Rezko to lobby the U.S. government to push through a nixed $50 million contact to train Iraqi security personnel at a site in Chicago.

The contract was awarded to Rezko's company while Aiham Alsammarae, a long-time, close Rezko friend and a contributor to Obama's campaign, served as Iraq's U.S.-appointed electricity minister.

Rezko was a major Obama fundraiser and associate for two decades.

Alsammarae also awarded another Rezko-controlled operation as part of a $150 million contract to construct a 250-megawatt electricity plant in Iraq.

Alsammarae later was arrested by Iraqi authorities for bilking the coalition government out of some $650 million. He was sprung from prison under questionable circumstances in 2006 and escaped from Iraq, where he is still wanted for questioning with regard to major financial crimes.

The information raises questions into the nature of Obama's relationship with multiple deals made by Iraq's Electricity Ministry while Alsammarae was in charge. Obama has ties to Alsammarae and to the recipients of several of the massive contracts Alsammarae handed out.

While he was the electric czar of Iraq for the Coalition Provisional Authority from mid-2003 until mid-2005, Alsammarae granted the $50 million contract to train Iraqis to guard electrical plants to Companion Security, a start-up_reportedly controlled by Rezko, his partner Daniel Mahru and a front man, Daniel Frawley, a former Chicago policeman. Frawley has multiple civil court judgments against him for his alleged failure to pay millions in outstanding bills.

The plan was to fly about 150 Iraqis to a site in Illinois for security training, which reportedly would include the use of_AK-47_machine guns.

Obama's office did not reply to repeated WND requests for comment. A working number could not be found for Frawley

The contract with Rezko's group was signed April 18, 2005, one month before Alsammarae left his governmental post.

But Iraq's new electricity minister aborted the deal, complaining the Companion contract was too expensive, according to a U.S. embassy official in Baghdad who spoke earlier this year to the Chicago Sun-Times.

In the spring of 2006, Frawley and his company reportedly reached out to Chicago politicians, including Obama and Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich, to bring pressure to revive the deal, arguing the business would be good for the state.

Frawley then reportedly reached out to Obama, who in 2006 was a member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, engaging in six months of dialogue petitioning the Illinois senator to write a letter introducing the Rezko-connected Companion company to senior Iraqi officials. Frawley met with Seamus Ahern, who runs Obama's Moline, Ill., office.

But Obama, who has denied doing political favors for Rezko, later claimed he did not known Rezko was involved with Companion.

Obama's office declined to help about the same time Rezko was indicted on charges of fraud.

Obama's spokesman Ben LaBolt said,

"The Senate staff had two meetings, one conference call and sporadically e-mailed with representatives of Companion Security about their request for Sen. Obama to write a letter introducing the company to senior officials in the Iraqi government."

LaBolt said Obama declined to help in the Companion deal, because "that is not the kind of action Sen. Obama usually takes for individual companies, and our staff concluded on that basis to decline the requested assistance."

LaBolt did not explain how Frawley could have survived the routine vetting of a petitioner by the U.S. Senate office staff when it was a matter of public record that his company was controlled by Rezko.

The nixed Iraqi government deal opens questions into the nature of Obama's relationship with agreements made by various associates with Iraq's Electricity Ministry while Alsammarae was in charge. Obama has ties to both Alsammarae and to the recipients of several of the massive contracts he handed out.

Alsammarae, a dual Iraqi-U.S. citizen, arrived in U.S. in 1976 and currently lives in Chicago and travels frequently to Amman, Jordan, where he maintains a residence despite still being wanted in Iraq.

Alsammarae has described himself as a close friend to Rezko, a former top confidante and fundraiser for Obama. Alsammarae and Rezko had been friends for nearly 30 years, since the two were classmates at the Illinois Institute of Technology.

WND reported Alsammarae posted more than one-third of Rezko's jail bond earlier this year, putting up as surety his $1.9 million Chicago home and two other properties.

Alsammarae contributed the maximum allowable donation of $2,300 to Obama's campaign, sending money six times in January, February and March. Obama donated the funds to charity in April, only after Alsammarae posted bond for Rezko.

As electricity minister, Alsammarae not only granted a Rezko firm the $50 million security training contract but also approved a contract with another Rezko company, Rezmar, to construct a 250-megawatt plant in the Kurdistani city of Chamchamal. That contract was granted to both Rezmar and the London-based General Mediterranean Holdings, which is headed by British billionaire Nadhmi Auchi, who was also involved in a large real estate deal in Chicago with Rezko and others around Obama.

Auchi, a former Baathist who left Iraq in 1979, was convicted in 2003 in a French court of corruption in an oil deal that stretched back to the Saddam Hussein regime. Auchi denies the charges.

Auchi could not be reached for comment

In another connection to Obama, when Alsammarae was jailed in Iraq in 2006, his Chicago-based family reportedly contacted Obama's U.S. Senate office for information. Obama's office passed a written request to the State Department about Alsammarae Oct. 16, 2006, and received a reply from the U.S. consul in Iraq about a week later. The reply was forwarded by Obama's staff to Alsammarae's daughter.

It wasn't immediately clear how Alsammarae landed his electricity ministry job. He was an outspoken critic of the U.S. military campaign in Iraq and publicly has supported Hussein.

In August 2000, Alsammarae, a board member of the American-Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee, appeared in Washington alongside celebrities such as Martin Sheen and British politician George Galloway at a demonstration against U.N. sanctions on Saddam's regime.

Even as late as last month, Alsammarae delivered a press conference stating he hoped the insurgency in Iraq "would continue [against U.S. occupation] and avenges the Iraqi people."

American political insiders suggest Alsammarae received major insider help in securing his U.S.-brokered Iraqi government position. Unconfirmed reports point to Alsammarae's previous Baathist background as being a factor in his elevated status in post-Saddam Iraq.

Alammarae was accused in a federal filing during the Rezko federal corruption trial of being the recipient of a $1 million bribe from Rezko to deliver the original Companion deal. No charges have yet been filed, though the accuser is Daniel Mahru, the former partner in the Companion deal.

Alsammarae was the only cabinet-level Iraqi official to be convicted and jailed for misusing money during his time in office. In April, Alsammarae made an appearance on CBS's "60 Minutes" to defend his troubled conduct in Iraq and in the U.S.

An Interpol warrant for his arrest, issued in 2007 at the request of Iraqi Prime Minister Nuri Kamal al-Maliki's government, was taken down after Alsammarae was forgiven for some parts of his conduct by an Iraqi legislative initiative, according to Arabic-language Iraqi criminal court documents obtained by WND and translated into English.

Other charges are still pending, and Alsammarae has been warned by the Maliki government not to return to Iraq.

Wild Thing's comment........

Hey Osamabama, you got some ‘splainin to do. This is all VEEERRRY interesting!

Nixon and Agnew went down for less than this... Of course, they didn't have the media in their pockets like ObamaRama does.

Why Obama wants out of Iraq so bad comes down to these paragraphs

In another connection to Obama, when Alsammarae was jailed in Iraq in 2006, his Chicago-based family reportedly contacted Obama’s U.S. Senate office for information. Obama’s office passed a written request to the State Department about Alsammarae Oct. 16, 2006, and received a reply from the U.S. consul in Iraq about a week later.

B.Hussein Obama Uses Race Card Yet AGAIN!

Obama in Rolla, Mo. yesterday

abc news blog

"John McCain right now, he's spending an awful lot of time talking about me," Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill., said today in Rolla, Mo. "You notice that? I haven’t seen an ad yet where he talks about what he’s gonna do. And the reason is because those folks know they don’t have any good answers, they know they’ve had their turn over the last eight years and made a mess of things. They know that you’re not real happy with them."

Obama continued: "And so the only way they figure they’re going to win this election is if they make you scared of me. So what they’re saying is, ‘Well, we know we’re not very good but you can’t risk electing Obama. You know, he’s new, he’s... doesn’t look like the other presidents on the currency, you know, he’s got a, he’s got a funny name.'

"I mean, that’s basically the argument -- he’s too risky," Obama said, per ABC News' Sunlen Miller. "But think about it, what’s the bigger risk? Us deciding that we’re going to come together to bring about real change in America or continuing to do same things with the same folks in the same ways that we know have not worked? I mean, are we really going to do the same stuff that we’ve been doing over the last eight years? ... That’s a risk we cannot afford. The stakes are too high."

Obama made similar comments earlier in the day in Springfield, Mo.

Then in Union, Mo., this evening, Obama seemed to specifically accuse McCain and the GOP of peddling racism and xenophobia.

Obama said that "John McCain and the Republicans, they don’t have any new ideas, that’s why they’re spending all their time talking about me. I mean, you haven’t heard a positive thing out of that campaign in ... in a month. All they do is try to run me down and you know, you know this in your own life. If somebody doesn’t have anything nice to say about anybody, that means they’ve got some problems of their own. So they know they’ve got no new ideas, they know they’re dredging up all the stale old stuff they’ve been peddling for the last eight, 10 years.

"But, since they don’t have any new ideas the only strategy they’ve got in this election is to try to scare you about me. They’re going to try to say that I’m a risky guy, they’re going to try to say, 'Well, you know, he’s got a funny name and he doesn’t look like all the presidents on the dollar bills and the five dollar bills and, and they’re going to send out nasty emails.

"And, you know, the latest one they’ve got me in an ad with Paris Hilton," Obama said, referring to a McCain campaign ad launched today. "You know, never met the woman. But, but, you know, what they’re gonna try to argue is that somehow I’m too risky."

McCain's newest AD

Wild Thing's comment........

Whew wow Obama sure has a lot of resentment in his soul. Jealousy, race anger so many things. How childish he is with all the ...."he’s got a funny name and he doesn’t look like all the presidents on the dollar bills and the five dollar bills"....what he is ashamed of his name and resents the past Presidents on our money? sheesh

There's a lot of racist stuff out there but it is all coming from Obama and his wife. Obama has to constantly point out that he is black ( or almost black ...whatever) . His racist comments were in the first few sentences in his speech in Germany that he made. So Obama is a total liar, HE is the one that is a racist! He wears it like a badge of feel sorry for me and vote for me because this is my claim to fame to be the first NON white to possibly be President. yadda yadda yadda

Not only has McCain not peddled any of it, he's condemned it.

B. Hussein Pits Americans Against Illegals With His Lies

This ad uses Obama's own words to share his beliefs about how to deal with the problem of immigrants that don't learn English.

Hussein Obama swaggers across the stage lecturing the American people with an elitist and condescending attitude while declaring, "you need to make sure your child can speak Spanish! "

Source

Expose Obama.com

12-20 million illegal aliens blatantly violated our laws when they came here illegally. They take jobs away from hard-working locals and legal immigrants who played by the rules and waited in line to have a chance at living the American Dream!

And what's Barack Hussein Obama's solution to the problem of millions of illegal aliens who REFUSE to learn our language or assimilate into our culture? In his own words:

"Understand this... you need to make sure your child can speak Spanish!"

But That's Not All Obama Said. . .

Barack Hussein recently spoke at the annual La Raza convention and accused United States law enforcement officers of TERRORIZING people!

According to the San Diego Union Tribune Obama said:

"The system isn't working... when communities are terrorized by (Immigration and Customs Enforcement) immigration raids, when nursing mothers are torn from their babies, when children come home from school to find their parents missing."

Communities "terrorized"...? Babies torn from their mothers while they are nursing...? Children coming home from school to find their parents have been secretly spirited away...? Is he serious?

Our frontline immigration officers put their lives on the line every day to enforce our laws and secure our liberties. To hear Obama talk, you would think they're jack-booted thugs! And that's a strange point of view coming from a man who associates with the likes of:

Weather Underground member William Ayers, who advocated a dozen bombings, including the bombing of the U.S. Capitol building in 1971 and the Pentagon in 1972... Jodie Evans, a radical, anti-American activist who facilitated over $600,000 in aid to Islamic radicals in Iraq... Frank Marshall Davis, the anti-Christian radical and known member of the Communist Party USA who Obama looked upon as a "father," and let us not forget... The Rev. Jeremiah "God D___ America" Wright, a man who called this great country the "U. S. of K.K.K. A"

What Barack Believes... and Doesn't Believe...

Barack Obama believes that deporting illegals is ridiculous and impractical, he supports the DREAM Act for the children of illegal immigrants, He doesn't believe that we have allocated enough for the health care of illegal immigrants. He would not deputize Americans to turn in illegal immigrants, he supports government services provided in Spanish and granting driver's licenses to illegal immigrants.

How Barack Has Voted...

YES on continuing federal funds for declared "sanctuary cities". (Mar 2008)
YES on comprehensive immigration reform. (Jun 2007)
NO on declaring English as the official language of the US government. (Jun 2007)
YES on establishing a Guest Worker program. (May 2006)
YES on allowing illegal aliens to participate in Social Security. (May 2006)
YES on giving Guest Workers a path to citizenship. (May 2006)

Wild Thing's comment........

I posted a before how Obama wants us to speak Spanish. But I didn''t know then of all the added things he had said in his speech. So this is important too seeing how he is once again siding with the illegals AGAINST Americans by the statements he has made.

Lies and being anti-American is what Obama excells at this. His speech makes it sound like Waco is happening again only on illegals . And how innocent the illegals are and how we are all so horrible for wanting people to come to this country like all of our families did years ago the legal way.

He says " the system isn't working" sheesh can't he at least come up with some NON democrat code words. We must have heard that phrase a thousand times from the left. I can't stand it!!!

....Thank you Mark.

Republican Sen. John McCain, engaged in increasingly sharp attacks on rival Barack Obama, pledged that if elected president, he would work closely with Democratic House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, praising her as an effective leader and an "inspiration to millions of Americans."

"I respect Speaker Pelosi. I think she's one of the great American success stories," McCain said during an interview with The Chronicle prior to a fundraiser at the Fairmont Hotel in San Francisco.

"We talk about (New York Sen.) Hillary Clinton and her inspiration to millions of Americans. Speaker Pelosi has been an inspiration as well" in a role that is "in many ways ... more powerful than the president."

And McCain also had high praise for the 2000 Democratic presidential candidate Al Gore and his advocacy on the issue of climate change. McCain recently raised eyebrows in GOP circles by calling "doable" Gore's suggestion that the country could become entirely energy independent through use of renewable resources within 10 years.

"I agree with his goal," the Arizona senator said Monday of Gore's idea. "I may disagree with all the ways of getting there. But I again want to emphasize my respect for the former vice president's leadership on this issue and his continuous leadership. And I am in no way trying to get into a fight with him."

McCain said that while he differs with Gore on the importance of nuclear power, "I do believe that his goals and his priorities and the visibility that he's given the issue has been good for America and the world."

His praise for two Democrats who are regularly in the bull's-eye of the conservative talk radio and the right-wing blogosphere is likely to draw fire from Republican loyalists, who consider Pelosi and Gore to be the evil twins of liberalism.

"It drives the talk radio crowd nuts when McCain does not wage war on Pelosi and Gore," said Hoover Institution media fellow Bill Whalen. McCain, he said, likely was trying to reach out to moderate and independent voters during his San Francisco visit.

"McCain's "first instinct is not to go negative or go to the punch. He tends to pull the punch," said Whalen. That may have to end soon, he said, because "he's got two challenges ahead of him: Obama is hovering close to 40 to 50 percent in the polls, and has to be dragged down, and McCain is in the low 40s and has to be pumped up."

Pelosi's view

Pelosi has recently pounded McCain for what she said has been an energy policy that she argued is a virtual continuation of the Bush administration's failed efforts.

The speaker appeared at a San Francisco gas station earlier this month to charge that McCain has failed to take action on ideas that will reduce the price of gas at the pump now - including cracking down on price gouging, enacting a "use it or lose it" policy for oil companies to drill on the 68 million acres of undeveloped federal oil reserves and suspending the filling of the Strategic Petroleum Reserve.

McCain, asked about those criticisms Monday, sidestepped the direct issue of "use it or lose it." Although he did criticize her for failing to hold a vote on offshore oil drilling, he said he would extend a hand to work with her on a variety of critical issues.

"I promise you that I respect her," he said, "I will sit down with her when I'm president, and will say 'Let's work together,' " he said. "If (the late House Speaker) Tip O'Neill and (President) Ronald Reagan could, then certainly John McCain and Nancy Pelosi can. ... I think she's been very effective."

McCain also downplayed criticism from California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger - a Republican and an endorser - who dismissed the idea of lifting federal offshore oil drilling moratorium as "blowing smoke."

"I have said the states should decide. And Gov. Schwarzenegger has made his position clear. So has Speaker Pelosi," he said.

But he said as an added incentive to coastal states, "one of the things I would do is offer them a higher share of the revenues. There are certain budgetary problems that exist, as we all know," he said. "It's their coastal waters, and I would offer them more of the revenues."

John McCain in his own words

In an interview with The Chronicle on Monday, John McCain addressed a number of issues. Among them:

On Gov. Schwarzenegger's criticism that lifting the federal moratorium on offshore oil drilling is "blowing smoke":

"Gov. Schwarzenegger has made his position clear. ... The governor of Florida has had a different position. ... One of the things I would do is offer (coastal states) a higher share of the revenues. There are certain budgetary problems that exist, as we all know. It's their coastal waters and I would offer them more of the revenues."

On how he would handle sanctuary cities like San Francisco:

"I would push for federal action to carry out a federal responsibility. And a federal responsibility is immigration. ...If you have secure borders and you have a temporary worker program that has to do with tamper-proof biometric documents ... you address the issue of the 12 million people who are here illegally, and you don't have to worry about all that."

On former Vice President Al Gore's contention that America can be energy independent in 10 years:

"I don't think it's doable without nuclear power. I do believe we can become energy independent, but I think it will (involve) nuclear power, wind, solar. ... It requires all those things, including offshore drilling."

Wild Thing's comment.........

At first I thought this was a satire piece, because McCain seemed to be coming around with his excellent ad called Pump and the other one about Hussein Obama and the wounded troops. Not that I thought hell froze over or anything, and McCain turned into a conservative but at least he was finally getting strong on some things FOR America.

But instead of this article being a satire, I think this entire election cycle is satire. We’re all being filmed and we don’t know it.

Doesn’t McCain know he’s p*ssing off 91% of Americans!?! Don’t suck up to Pelosi, McCain; she’s on very thin ice, she is one of the enmey within for pete's sake.

"I respect Speaker Pelosi. I think she's one of the great American success stories," McCain said during an interview with The Chronicle prior to a fundraiser at the Fairmont Hotel in San Francisco.

Most people think prostitution has to involve sex.

I beg to differ.

And as far as ole Schwarzenegger. I could care less what he thinks, he has driven California into a bigger mess then it was already. He love that he has come to America and is grateful for all the opportunities and rewards for his hard work have been. That is good and the way it should be.....the American dream for sure. But hs is a rino more then ever, and has moved further and further to the left since becoming Gov. of Callif. He was always been socially liberal but politically conservartive for many years. That has changed a lot. Nick and I know him and are too ticked off at him to even communicate with him anymore. hahaha And I know him pretty well I used to date him eons ago before I met my prince charming Nicholas. Arnie has gone off the deep end totally especially about drilling for oil and the illegals having things handed to them. sheesh.

There is NO other person unless we want Obama to send us whirling into the madness of socialism and communism and marxism and the poor house to boot. But this slapping us in the face has got to stop, how much are we supposed to stand anyway. I mean is McCain running for President or is he running for a spot in the Obama cabinet.

Then here is the BUT or maybe.......

The other way to look at this is that McCain is choosing his battles. Its true, that a lot of people are getting frustrated with the Witch on the Hill, but McCain wants to avoid getting in the middle when Pelosi may end up hanging herself if people become sufficiently angry with her. If McCain wins, he may have to deal with her, so he is deflecting her for now and letting this play out without direct confrontation.

But for me the thing is that Pelosi, Reid etc, well they are the enemy and should be treated as such.

Meanwhile I continue to pray harder and harder for our country and for McCain too. There is power in prayer I believe that, and maybe He can get through to McCain on this stuff because I know none of us can.

With Obama Economic Freedom Is At Serious Risk

Democrat Barack Obama arrives in Washington on Monday. On the campaign trail, Obama has styled himself a centrist. But a look at those who've served as his advisers and mentors over the years shows a far more left-leaning tilt to his background — and to his politics.

Before friendly audiences, Barack Obama speaks passionately about something called "economic justice." He uses the term obliquely, though, speaking in code — socialist code.

During his NAACP speech earlier this month, Sen. Obama repeated the term at least four times. "I've been working my entire adult life to help build an America where economic justice is being served," he said at the group's 99th annual convention in Cincinnati.

And as president, "we'll ensure that economic justice is served," he asserted. "That's what this election is about." Obama never spelled out the meaning of the term, but he didn't have to. His audience knew what he meant, judging from its thumping approval.

"Economic justice" simply means punishing the successful and redistributing their wealth by government fiat. It's a euphemism for socialism.

In the past, such rhetoric was just that — rhetoric. But Obama's positioning himself with alarming stealth to put that rhetoric into action on a scale not seen since the birth of the welfare state.

Obama also talks about "restoring fairness to the economy," code for soaking the "rich" — a segment of society he fails to understand that includes mom-and-pop businesses filing individual tax returns.

It's clear from a close reading of his two books that he's a firm believer in class envy. He assumes the economy is a fixed pie, whereby the successful only get rich at the expense of the poor.

Following this discredited Marxist model, he believes government must step in and redistribute pieces of the pie. That requires massive transfers of wealth through government taxing and spending, a return to the entitlement days of old.

Of course, Obama is too smart to try to smuggle such hoary collectivist garbage through the front door. He's disguising the wealth transfers as "investments" — "to make America more competitive," he says, or "that give us a fighting chance," whatever that means.

Among his proposed "investments":

• "Universal," "guaranteed" health care.

• "Free" college tuition.

• "Universal national service" (a la Havana).

• "Universal 401(k)s" (in which the government would match contributions made by "low- and moderate-income families").

• "Free" job training (even for criminals).

• "Wage insurance" (to supplement dislocated union workers' old income levels).

• "Free" child care and "universal" preschool.

• More subsidized public housing.

• A fatter earned income tax credit for "working poor."

• And even a Global Poverty Act that amounts to a Marshall Plan for the Third World, first and foremost Africa.

His new New Deal also guarantees a "living wage," with a $10 minimum wage indexed to inflation; and "fair trade" and "fair labor practices," with breaks for "patriot employers" who cow-tow to unions, and sticks for "nonpatriot" companies that don't.

That's just for starters — first-term stuff.

Obama doesn't stop with socialized health care. He wants to socialize your entire human resources department — from payrolls to pensions. His social-microengineering even extends to mandating all employers provide seven paid sick days per year to salary and hourly workers alike.

You can see why Obama was ranked, hands-down, the most liberal member of the Senate by the National Journal.

The seeds of his far-left ideology were planted in his formative years as a teenager in Hawaii — and they were far more radical than any biography or profile in the media has portrayed.

A careful reading of Obama's first memoir, "Dreams From My Father," reveals that his childhood mentor up to age 18 — a man he cryptically refers to as "Frank" — was none other than the late communist Frank Marshall Davis, who fled Chicago after the FBI and Congress opened investigations into his "subversive," "un-American activities."

As Obama was preparing to head off to college, he sat at Davis' feet in his Waikiki bungalow for nightly bull sessions. Davis plied his impressionable guest with liberal doses of whiskey and advice, including: Never trust the white establishment.

"They'll train you so good," he said, "you'll start believing what they tell you about equal opportunity and the American way and all that sh**."

After college, where he palled around with Marxist professors and took in socialist conferences "for inspiration," Obama followed in Davis' footsteps, becoming a "community organizer" in Chicago.

His boss there was Gerald Kellman, whose identity Obama also tries to hide in his book. Turns out Kellman's a disciple of the late Saul "The Red" Alinsky, a hard-boiled Chicago socialist who wrote the "Rules for Radicals" and agitated for social revolution in America.

Obama reunited with his late father's communist tribe in Kenya, the Luo, during trips to Africa.

As a Nairobi bureaucrat, Barack Hussein Obama Sr., a Harvard-educated economist, grew to challenge the ruling pro-Western government for not being socialist enough.
He argued for eliminating private farming and nationalizing businesses "owned by Asians and Europeans."

His ideas for communist-style expropriation didn't stop there. He also proposed massive taxes on the rich to "redistribute our economic gains to the benefit of all."

"Theoretically, there is nothing that can stop the government from taxing 100% of income so long as the people get benefits from the government commensurate with their income which is taxed," Obama Sr. wrote. "I do not see why the government cannot tax those who have more and syphon some of these revenues into savings which can be utilized in investment for future development."

Taxes and "investment" . . . the fruit truly does not fall far from the vine.

(Voters might also be interested to know that Obama, the supposed straight shooter, does not once mention his father's communist leanings in an entire book dedicated to his memory.)

Too much is at stake in this election to continue mincing words.

Both a historic banking crisis and 1970s-style stagflation loom over the economy. Democrats, who already control Congress, now threaten to filibuster-proof the Senate in what could be a watershed election for them — at both ends of Pennsylvania Avenue.

A perfect storm of statism is forming, and our economic freedoms are at serious risk.

Those who care less about looking politically correct than preserving the free-market individualism that's made this country great have to start calling things by their proper name to avert long-term disaster.

Red Faces Over Obama’s Red Mentor

Red Faces Over Obama’s Red Mentor

By Cliff Kincaid

Canada Free Press

In a strange development, supporters of Barack Obama’s childhood mentor, Frank Marshall Davis, are openly debating the nature and depth of Davis’s commitment to the Communist Party and his relationship with the Democratic candidate. The debate has gotten heated.

This unusual debate, which is taking place on Obama’s official website, raises the question once again as to why Obama has not been asked by the major media about this relationship. Davis was identified as a Communist Party member by various investigative committees and acknowledged his party membership in a private letter obtained by John Edgar Tidwell, who was sympathetic to Davis and edited his books.

On one side of this debate is somebody claiming to be the son of Davis. On the other side is Alan Maki, a political activist and union organizer with a long history of involvement in left-wing causes. Indeed, Maki confirms that he has been a member of the Communist Party USA (CPUSA) and was a communist decades ago when he was in the Students for a Democratic Society (SDS).

Although he doesn’t support Obama because of his ties to Big Business, Maki wrote a blog on the Obama website stating that he was grateful to Obama for bringing Davis to his attention, and that he, Maki, regarded Davis as his mentor, too. Maki announced establishment of a “Frank Marshall Davis Roundtable for Change” and invited Obama supporters to join it.

Maki did his homework, which is more than most of our own media have done, and he obtained Davis’s books. It is absolutely clear, Maki stated, that Davis was a communist.

In his 1995 book, Dreams From My Father, Obama cites

“Frank” as someone who gave him advice on various matters, including race, American values, and college, and read poems to him during his high-school years in Hawaii. One of Davis’s poems was a tribute to the Soviet Red Army. Another mocked the work of Christian missionaries.

Frank” was identified as Frank Marshall Davis, a controversial black writer and poet, by Gerald Horne, a writer for a CPUSA publication. Davis’s influence over Obama could help explain why the candidate associated with communists, socialists and anti-American figures through college and his political life in Chicago.

Maki says his intention is to use Davis’s writings “to advance the unity of working people to be a voice to be reckoned with by the Obama Administration, which to me, at this point, looks like will be an overwhelming landslide victory over the Republicans.”

Communist-style Change

Into the picture comes the person claiming to be the son of Frank Marshall Davis, who posted some comments on the Obama website in which he expresses the view that Maki and I are somehow in cahoots because Maki agreed to talk to me about his views on communism and Obama.

While Maki doesn’t personally like my conservative views, he was honest and forthright about his own political beliefs.

Tell the Truth

Clearly, there is an effort underway to sanitize or play down the Obama-Davis relationship and try to intimidate the major media into not covering it. But it is unusual, to say the least, that some of this effort is occurring on the official Obama website. The reaction, which makes the controversy even more newsworthy and significant, suggests that the truth is seeping out through other means, mostly in the alternative media, and increasing the pressure at least on Obama’s supporters to deal with the matter.

In another strange twist, Mark Davis claims some of his comments have been taken off the Obama website, but some freely remain (see comment 37) on the AIM website, which is open to a variety of views in the form of comments on posted columns. Some Davis comments were apparently deleted from the Obama website on the ground that they were “part of a racist, anti-Semitic hate campaign” against Maki. Davis insists they were not of that nature.

Eventually, if this controversy about Frank Marshall Davis continues to build, Obama could be personally forced by the media to respond, in the same way that former Democratic vice presidential candidate Geraldine Ferraro had to hold a full-blown press conference to answer questions about her husband’s alleged Mob connections.

Maki thinks it admirable that Davis was a communist, but the odds are that few Americans would agree with him.

It is a problem not only for Obama and his campaign, but for those who associated with and covered up for Davis.

If Mark Davis is truly Davis’s son, one would think he would know the truth and have inside information about his father. It’s difficult, of course, to determine a true identity based on the limited information available about this person on the Internet. But it is Obama’s website and should be taken somewhat seriously.

It is a long article and the rest can be found HERE.

Wild Thing's comment........

For most Obama supporters, having a communist for a mentor is a plus. The younger ones don’t know what a communist is. The older ones know and don’t care. Or don’t know and don’t care.

I’ve long believed that he media supports Obama because of their liberal bias. Then awhile back I realized that they want him elected because of their COMMUNIST bias.

Communists, Black Supremacists, anti-Semites, Weather Underground—you can learn a lot about a person by the company he keeps.

Barack's rallying cry.........Citizens of the world, unite!

General Petraeus Not Joining Withdrawl Bandwagon! Thank God!

Petraeus won't join bandwagon for Iraq withdrawal timetable

BAGHDAD

The top U.S. military commander in Iraq isn't buying the increasingly popular idea of a publicly stated timetable for American troop withdrawal.

Gen. David Petraeus, the Iraq commander, said in an interview that the situation in Iraq is too volatile to "project out, and to then try to plant a flag on a particular date."

With violence at its lowest levels of the war, politicians in both the United States and Iraq are getting behind the idea of a departure timetable. Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama was first, suggesting he would have combat troops home within 16 months of Inauguration Day. The idea got a big boost during his overseas trip last week, when Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al Maliki indicated support for that general timeline.

During a Friday interview on CNN's "The Situation Room," Republican candidate John McCain, who had opposed setting a timeline, appeared to shift ground. McCain said that 16 months "is a pretty good timetable" but must be based on conditions on the ground.

Meanwhile, the Bush administration has embraced "time horizons" as it negotiates with the Iraqi government a status of forces agreement over the future role of U.S. troops.

Petraeus said any timetable must have "a heck of a lot more granularity than the kind of very short-hand statements that have been put out."

"We occasionally have commanders who have so many good weeks, (they think) it's won. We've got this thing. Well we don't. We've had so many good weeks. Right now, for example we've had two-and-a-half months of levels of violence not since March 2004," he said from his office at Camp Victory.

"Well that's encouraging. It's heartening. It's very welcome. But let's keep our powder dry. . . .Let's not let our guard down."

Petraeus is pushing for what he says as a more nuanced debate as both U.S. and Iraqi political leaders are in campaign seasons, with many voters in both countries wanting to hear there is an end. Maliki is trying to sway voters in time for this fall's scheduled provincial elections by winning support from his political rival, firebrand cleric Muqtada al Sadr, who has called for a U.S. withdrawal date since 2004.

Throughout his tenure, Petraeus has argued for a drawdown based on conditions, saying that the last of the five surge brigades could leave earlier this month because Iraqi forces are increasingly capable of securing Iraq.

Petraeus said that while both Sunni and Shiite extremists groups are weaker, Iraqi security forces still face threats as the groups try to reconstitute themselves throughout Iraq. And because of that, U.S. and Iraqi forces must not assume that the battle here is won, he said.

Maliki's surprise spring offensive in the southern port city of Basra was a turning point in the security situation. It rid Iraq's second-largest city of militia control and bolstered the confidence of both the Iraqi people and military. But the Iraqi security forces turned to U.S. troops to help them win, leading some to call for a more cautious withdrawal plan.

Petraeus has said he believes there will be a "long-term partnership" in which the U.S. acts primarily in an advisory role to Iraqi forces, but with enough combat power to step in and help if major battles erupt. But he said that that like most things in Iraq, plans could change.

"We know where we are trying to go. We know how we think we need to try to get there with our Iraqi partners and increasingly with them in the lead and shouldering more of the burden as they are," Petraeus said.

"But there are a lot of storm clouds out there, there are lots of these possible lightning bolts. You just don't know what it could be. You try to anticipate them and you try to react very quickly. . . .It's all there, but it's not something you want to lay out publicly."

Wild Thing's comment........

Please God I pray these men ( Obama and McCain) listen to General Petraeus and stop making this pulling out of Iraq with setting a date part of their campaign!!!!!!

Patreaus is a good man and an awesome leader. And why the heck aren't these men listening to the man in charge of the “troops on the ground?

With all this talk about this the insurgents must be cheering this topic. These things IMO are none of our business nor the insurgents. It is military and should be on only a need to know basis.

Obama: "We'll make sure Palestinians have a state"

"Hamas and Hizbullah as a way to stir up mischief in the region," --Hussein Obama

Obama: We'll make sure Palestinians have a state

Y net news.com

WASHINGTON

"The Palestinian people are having a very tough time right now economically, and it is in US interests to make sure that they have a sense of hope and opportunity and a Palestinian state. I think it's in Israelis' interest as well," US Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama told NBC's Meet the Press Sunday on the heels of his Mideast tour.

"What I've said is that we're going to make sure that the Palestinians have a state that allows them to prosper as long as we also have certainty that Israel's security is not being compromised. I think it's in the interest of both parties, but we are the critical ingredient in terms of making sure that a deal actually gets done," he said.

"I give the Bush administration credit that the Annapolis process has gotten Prime Minister (Ehud) Olmert in Israel and President (Mahmoud) Abbas in the Palestinian territories to have very serious and frank discussions. I think they have moved the ball forward. They may not be able to finish the job. They certainly can't finish it without serious participation by the next administration, and we've got to start early".

According to Obama, if the US can "solve" the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, "then that will make it easier for Arab states and the Gulf States to support us when it comes to issues like Iraq and Afghanistan.
"It will also weaken Iran, which has been using Hamas and Hizbullah as a way to stir up mischief in the region," he said, "if we've gotten an Israeli-Palestinian peace deal, maybe at the same time peeling Syria out of the Iranian orbit, that makes it easier to isolate Iran so that they have a tougher time developing a nuclear weapon."

Responding to Meet the Press' Tom Brokow's remark that "anytime an American goes to the Middle East, goes to an Arab capital, on the street or in a corridors of power, they say, 'You just do whatever the Israelis want you to do, and the politicians come out here looking for Jewish votes',"

Obama said, "I don't think that's entirely fair. This is my second trip to Israel and the West Bank. And the first time that I went, I did meet with Palestinian businessmen, I did talk to Palestinian students in Ramallah.

"When you're in a region for a day, you've got a lot of boxes that you've got to check. And in Israel in particular, a big chunk of our day was meeting with not only the current prime minister, but former prime ministers and a whole bunch of people who intend to be prime minister. And it was important for us to make sure that we had covered our bases there," said the presidential hopeful.

Wild Thing's comment.......

Hey Obama, they don’t want a state. They want Israel pushed into the sea so they can turn the land into a garbage heap like everywhere else they reside.

"we're going to make sure that the Palestinians have a state that allows them to prosper "

Gosh, I didn’t realize that the Israeli/Palestinian problem was all about economics. Just give those poor peeps jobs and they’ll put down their weapons. Just like in South Chicago, eh Obama?

"...hope and opportunity..."

The Palestinians hope they have opportunity to wipe Israel off the map.

"Iran, which has been using Hamas and Hizbullah as a way to stir up mischief"

Stir up mischief, well that is one way to put bombing, and and killing innocent people and cutting off their heads.

The Hype of B.Hussein Obama

Wild Thing's comment...........

If he wins I sure hope we don't have to watch him dance. This guy has NO rhythm, as seen when he attempts to dance and move around at the beginning of the video with Ellen Degeneres. It must be something that leaves the body when a person goes too far to the left.

This hype about Obama is all so sick!

McCain Interviewed About Obama Troop SNUB on "This Week" ABC this morning

This will appear on ABC News

on " This Week " show with George Stephanopoulos in an interview to air Sunday July 27th

ABC News' Mary Bruce reports: Sen. John McCain suggested today that it is fair game to question Sen. Barack Obama's decision not to visit wounded troops at Landstuhl Regional Medical Center in Germany during his recent trip to the country.

"If I had been told by the Pentagon that I couldn’t visit those troops, and I was there and wanted to be there, I guarantee you, there would have been a seismic event," McCain told ABC News' George Stephanopoulos in an interview to air Sunday on "This Week".

Obama's campaign reportedly cancelled the trip because Pentagon officials told the senator he could not make the visit accompanied by his campaign staff and because of concerns that the visit would be viewed as politically motivated.

But McCain questioned his rival's justification:

"I know of no Pentagon regulation that would have prevented him from going there -- without the media and the press and all of the associated people. Nothing that I know of would have kept him from visiting those wounded troops."

McCain went on to note that "in Landstuhl, Germany, when I went through, I visited the hospital. ... I think people make a judgment by what we do and what we don’t do. He certainly found time to do other things."

Also, in a new ad released today, the McCain campaign criticized Obama for canceling his Landstuhl trip while finding time to work out.

"He made time to go to the gym," the ad said, "but cancelled a visit with wounded troops. Seems the Pentagon wouldn't allow him to bring cameras. John McCain is always there for our troops."

....That ass is Obama's FEEL THE PAIN Jerk!

Wild Thing's comment........

Obama is not fit to be CIC! McCain himself has been wounded. If Hussein and his campaign take issue with him on this he can eat them alive for dinner!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This is from a friend of mine in Germany for the last few months visiting family.

"Obama didn't get a bounce! over here. His poll numbers went down slightly here. I will tell you this. Here in Germany not everyone thinks he is great. He insulted them when he said that they should do more in Afghanistan. They were indignant that in Germany, which isn't a part of the United States, by the way....Obama’s people enforced a “no sign” rule. And didn't like the “don't wear green” rule either. They are astounded at his arrogance. They recognize propaganda promotion, when they see it. And are sensitive to speech being infringed. They also pointed out in their newspaper articles, that Obama was short on specifics, and mostly offered “empty rhetoric. The people I know here actually like McCain”.

Retired Lt. Colonel Joe Repya Calls Out Obama For Canceling Troop Visit In Germany

Joe in Iraq

Joe Repya led a counter demonstration of veterans in June during an appearance by John Kerry at the University of Minnesota. (MPR file photo)

ARLINGTON, VA —

Today, Retired Lt. Colonel Joe Repya issued the following statement on Barack Obama’s cancelled visit to Ramstein and Landstuhl:

“The most solemn duty of a commander in chief is to fulfill his responsibility to the men and women who serve this country in uniform. Barack Obama had scheduled a visit with wounded American troops who have served with honor and distinction in the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, but he broke that commitment, instead flitting from one European capital to the next. Several explanations were offered, none was convincing and each was at odds with the statements of American military leaders in Germany and Washington.
For a young man so apt at playing president, Barack Obama badly misjudged the important demands of the office he seeks. Visits with world leaders and speeches to cheering Europeans shouldn’t be a substitute for comforting injured American heroes.”

Army Lieutenant Colonel (Retired) Joe Repya served 30 years of duty and three wars, Vietnam, Desert Storm and Operation Iraqi Freedom.

He was born in 1946 in Gary, Indiana. He was the oldest son of a disabled combat wounded veteran of the European Campaign of World War II. Awarded an ROTC scholarship he attended Western Michigan University, Kalamazoo, MI, graduating in 1969.

Upon graduation he was appointed to the Regular Army as a Second Lieutenant in the Infantry.

His 30 years of service in the US Army (12 years Active and 18 years in the National Guard & Reserves) lasted from 1969 until 2006. He served as a Combat Infantry Rifle Platoon Leader in Viet Nam in 1970/71 with the 2nd Battalion, 506th Infantry Regiment (Band of Brothers “Currahee’s”), and an Aero Rifle Platoon Leader with A Troop, 2nd Squadron, 17th Cavalry Regiment.

He reentered retired status at the end of September 2006 at the age of 60.

More about Joe:
Joe is a classic citizen patriot and activist. He first came to public attention in March 2003 when, disturbed by the anti-war campaign mounted by Minnesota liberals, he arranged for the production of lawn signs saying "Liberate Iraq -- Support Our Troops." His effort garnered a lot of publicity, and Joe eventually distributed 30,000 signs.

HE WROTE FROM IRAQ:

* Two weeks ago, as I was starting my sixth month of duty in Iraq, I was forced to return to the USA for surgery for an injury I sustained prior to my deployment. With luck, I'll return to Iraq in January to finish my tour.

* I left Baghdad and a war that has every indication that we are winning, to return to a demoralized country much like the one I returned to in 1971 after my tour in Vietnam.

* Maybe it's because I'll turn 60 years old in just four months, but I'm tired:

* I'm tired of spineless politicians, both Democrat and Republican who lack the courage, fortitude, and character to see these difficult tasks through.

* I'm tired of the hypocrisy of politicians who want to rewrite history when the going gets tough.

* I'm tired of the so called "Elite Left" that prolongs this war by giving aid and comfort to our enemy, just as they did during the Vietnam War.

* I'm tired of anti-war protesters showing up at the funerals of our fallen in a just and noble cause, only to be cruelly tormented on the funeral day by cowardly protesters is beyond shameful.

* I'm tired that some are more concerned about the treatment of captives then they are the slaughter and beheading of our citizens and allies.

* I'm tired that when we find mass graves it is seldom reported by the press, but mistreat a prisoner and it is front page news.

* Mostly, I'm tired that the people of this great nation didn't learn from history that there is no substitute for Victory.

McCain Ad About Hussein Obama Dissing Our Wounded Troops

Wild Thing's comment.............

Good ... no time to monkey around. McCain's greatest strengths are the empty suit's many weaknesses, and so they need to shine the light on them, because the MSM won't.

Obama by snubbing American troops will be his very own mark of the beast. Obama is the walking talking meaning of the word "inapprpopriate". He is "inapprpopriate " for President. He is "inapprpopriate " for being in the Senate. He is "inapprpopriate " for holding any office in this land. He is "inapprpopriate " to be an America and I will include his white hating wife as well.

Obama's $845 Billion U.N. Plan Forwarded To U.S. Senate Floor

Barack Obama: Global Poverty Act = World tax = Socialism

Obama's $845 billion U.N. plan forwarded to U.S. Senate floor

The U.S. Senate soon could debate whether you, your spouse and each of your children – as well as your in-laws, parents, grandparents, neighbors and everyone else in America – each will spend $2,500 or more to reduce poverty around the world.

The plan sponsored by Sen. Barack Obama, the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee, is estimated to cost the U.S. some $845 billion over the coming few years in an effort to raise the standard of living around the globe.

S.2433 already has been approved in one form by the U.S. House of Representatives and now has been placed on the Senate Legislative Calendar for pending debate.

The proposal demands the president develop "and implement" a policy to "cut extreme global poverty in half by 2015 through aid, trade, debt relief" and other programs.

Cliff Kincaid at Accuracy in Media has published a critique asserting that while the Global Poverty Act sounds nice, the adoption could "result in the imposition of a global tax on the United States" and would make levels of U.S. foreign aid spending "subservient to the dictates of the United Nations."

The plan passed the House in 2007 "because most members didn't realize what was in it," Kincaid reported. "Congressional sponsors have been careful not to calculate the amount of foreign aid spending that it would require."

A recent statement from Obama's office noted the support offered by the Senate Foreign Relations Committee.

"With billions of people living on just dollars a day around the world, global poverty remains one of the greatest challenges and tragedies the international community faces," Obama said. "It must be a priority of American foreign policy to commit to eliminating extreme poverty and ensuring every child has food, shelter, and clean drinking water. As we strive to rebuild America's standing in the world, this important bill will demonstrate our promise and commitment to those in the developing world.
"Our commitment to the global economy must extend beyond trade agreements that are more about increasing profits than about helping workers and small farmers everywhere," he continued.

Wild Thing's comment........

Insanity!!! spending money to bring Freedom to Iraq and raise the standard of living in Iraq is bad. But just giving money to a corrupt organization like the UN or simply giving it to corrupt dictators who will continue to repress and, gulp, actually torture (real torture, not loud music torture) is just fine and dandy.

The United States is already the most generous nation on earth when it comes to helping the world’s poor.

The communist Obama wants to give our money away. This bill (and this man) must be stopped

Obama Team Begins Work On Presidential Transition

Obama Team Begins Work On Presidential Transition

The Atlantic

With less than six months to go before he would be sworn in as the nation’s 44th president, Sen. Barack Obama has directed his aides to begin planning for the transition.

"Barack is well aware of the complexity and the organizational challenge involved in the transition process and he has tasked s small group to begin thinking through the process,” a senior campaign adviser said. “Barack has made his expectations clear about what he wants from such a process, how he wants it to move forward, and the establishment and execution of his timeline is proceeding apace.”

Last month, the Post’s Shalaigh Murray reported that campaign advisers were sounding out John Podesta, a former White House chief of staff to President Bill Clinton and currently the president of the Center for American Progress, for his advice.

An aide confirms that Podesta will probably be asked to head the transition team, which would take over from the campaign if Obama wins in November, and would be tasked with ensuring a smooth handover of power.

Podesta’s Center for American Progress is working with the Third Way think tank on a Homeland Security Presidential Transition Initiative; its director is Michael Signer, a former senior policy aide to Ex-Sen. John Edwards.

Cassandra Butts, a longtime Obama friend who is a CAP executive vice president, is working closely with Podesta.

Butts, via e-mail, would not confirm her participation in the project.

Podesta remains a close friend of both Clintons and his participation will help assuage the concerns of Clinton-era Democratic policy and political appointees who might have felt abandoned in an Obama administration.

New Presidents have only three months to complete a herculean remaking of the equivalent of ten of the world's biggest companies. Most presidential candidates don’t spend precious campaign time thinking about to do, so the questions come fast and furious: how do you your turn your ideas into policy? What do you do first? What does Congress expect? What last-minute executive orders should you overturn? What will your first 100 days look like? How will you vet and when will you appoint major cabinet secretaries and political appointees? What’s he proper balance of power between executive department? Budgets, costs, logistics?

A campaign spokesperson confirmed that transition planning had begun but would provide no further details. An adviser said that the campaign wants to keep the process as low profile as possible in order to minimize distractions.

A public announcement is planned for the fall.

“Given the myriad challenges that will face the next president, Barack would encourage Sen. McCain to begin to undertake a similar process,” the adviser said.

A McCain spokesperson said the campaign would not discuss the subject with reporters.

SNERDLEY: Thank you. This is Bo Snerdley, Official Barack Criticizer for the EIB Network, certified, black enough to criticize with organic slave blood. I have a message. Mr. Obama, your overseas visit to, uhhh, um, Iraq, um, the war zones is (sigh), uh, proving to be a world-class embarrassment. Uh, aside from giving report to the efforts of, uh Mu-muk-muk... Muqtada al-Sadr who hates America, you've really said nothing there that you, uhhh, didn't say here, which, uhh, um it calls into question the -- let me think about it -- the, I should say the whole purpose of the trip. You continue to denigrate the efforts of our military and won't acknowledge their success -- and to make matters worse, your, uh, stuttering performance, uh, is, uh, now being, uh, held up to ridicule despite all the glowing reports from your public, uh, public relations, uh, uh, specialist, uh, agents in the media. Your performance, sir, has not made you look presidential. It has really, I want to say "harmed" your presidential chances in the eyes of those who take foreign policy seriously, uh. This has, uh, truly been a sad performance, sir.

And now an extended translation for our EIB brothers and sisters in the Hood.

A'right, dog. I'm going to come with it on you today. First up B. What's up with this Iraqi dealy, yo? We got to chill over there. We got issues here, my brother. Like gas prices, my man.

Pull out that New Yorker magazine cover -- you know, the one with you in the turban and Shelly with that AK wrapped on them, man. Tell them, "Yo, you see this, Bro? This is me and my shorty. We're going to come over there and whip some ass after I get in, yo, if you don't get things chilled." That's what diplomacy is. But then, no. What you do, man, is you give this guy props. And then, yo, look. Yo, what's up with all this stutterering, mang? You running for president, man, or are you trying to get Porky Pig's job with, "T-t-t-that's all, folks." Come on, main. Did Jesse snatch them baby makers from you, bro? What's up with that, man? You went to Harvard, yo! That's all you got: "Uh, uh, uh, uh"? Yo, even Reverend Wright doesn't come out like that. He makes it flow, man. You ever heard him say, "Uh, God d-d-d-damn America"? He make it flow, man. What's with you? Then, on top of all this, you, you go over there and you say the biggest problem in Iraq is that so many men are unemployed? No, no, no, man! The biggest problem over there is they ain't giving us our props, yo. We are the ones that killed off old Hussein -- I'm sorry, Saddam-y -- for them, man. We freed them, yo! We looking for work? You ought to go over there and tell them brothers, "Y'all need to start busy to build a pipeline to break us off some of that oil, you know what I'm saying?" But no, mang.

DNC Caught Getting Tax Free Gas At City Pumps

DNC host's tax-free gas evaporates

Angry reaction brings a halt to use of city pumps

Rocky Mountain News

The committee hosting the Democratic National Convention has used the city's gas pumps to fill up and apparently avoided paying state and federal fuel taxes.

The practice, which began four months ago, may have ended hours after its disclosure.

An aide to Mayor John Hickenlooper released a statement Tuesday evening saying that Denver 2008 Host Committee members would pay market prices for fuel and would also be liable for all applicable taxes.

However, Public Works spokeswoman Christine Downs told City Council members just hours before that host committee members were fueling up at the city pumps. The city does not pay taxes on the fuel for its fleet, and Downs said the host committee would not either.

The disclosure brought immediate scrutiny. Colorado Attorney General John Suthers said the practice "would seem" to be illegal and referred the matter to the state Department of Revenue.

Nonprofits, such as the host committee, are subject to state and federal gasoline taxes, according to the Department of Revenue.

The issue arose during the regular weekly meeting of Hickenlooper and City Council members. Downs requested authorization for a contract so the Public Works Department could be reimbursed by the host committee for use of "fueling facilities, fuel and car washes."

Downs said the contract with the host committee started in March and that $9,700 in fuel and services had been purchased from the city so far. But the committee has yet to be billed. The city anticipates $466,125 in total revenues from the contract, Downs said.

City Councilman Charlie Brown raised the question of whether the host committee would be paying fuel taxes, and Downs said it wouldn't.

"There's something there that just doesn't seem right to me because, in a sense, you're saying then that the officials who pass the laws are not willing to live by them," said Councilwoman Jeanne Faatz.

Hickenlooper said the practice isn't unique to Denver.

"I do know for a fact that they're doing the same exact thing in Minneapolis," Hickenlooper said, referring to the city that along with St. Paul is hosting the Republican National Convention.

But Teresa McFarland, a spokeswoman for the Minneapolis-St. Paul host committee, said its members are getting their gas at public pumps.

"We're not getting a tax break on fuel," she said. "That's not the setup at this end."

In Colorado, consumers pay 40.4 cents per gallon in state and federal fuel taxes.

"We're a nonpartisan, nonprofit committee, but certainly, if the city feels that taxes are applicable, we will pay those, too," said Chris Lopez, spokesman for the host committee. "So we would pay all applicable taxes on any of the fuel."

The host committee, which is responsible for raising money to put on the convention, is using the city's pumps "for safety and security reasons," Lopez said.

"We know the gas is not tainted," he said. "We use it as a safety and security measure."

Hickenlooper said GM is "loaning" the host committee vehicles and he expects a large number to be hybrids. It wasn't clear Tuesday whether host committee members are using those loaners or their personal vehicles.

Dick Wadhams, chairman of the Colorado Republican Party, said the city's arrangement with the DNC host committee was "appalling."

"I'm hoping this is not the first of many stories about how Colorado taxpayers are apparently subsidizing the Democratic convention," Wadhams said.

After the meeting, Faatz said it was wrong for the DNC host committee to get a tax break.

"I am just troubled by not having the payment of taxes for what I consider to be a privately funded party, and that's what the host committee is: it's a private organization," she said.

"If you've got a 14-gallon tank, on the average, that's about $5.66 that they don't have to pay for fill up," Brown said.

Brown also questioned the need for car washes.

It also wasn't clear Tuesday whether the Department of Revenue will investigate.

"We can't talk about any individual taxpayer's circumstance," said department spokesman Mark Couch. "Tax-exempt organizations are not exempt from fuel taxes, so a nonprofit group is not exempt from fuel taxes. As to the individual circumstance involved here, we'd have to look into it and investigate to make any kind of determination."

Denis Berckefeldt, spokesman for Denver Auditor Dennis Gallagher, said Hickenlooper's administration has been guilty in the past of doing business before a contract is executed.

"Is it unusual that it happens?" he asked. "No, because they do stuff like this. Do we like it? No."

In January 2006, Gallagher complained to Hickenlooper in a letter about the "ongoing problem related to work being performed on behalf of the city before a contract for that work has been fully executed and properly signed."

At that time, Gallagher wrote, an examination of 999 contracts found that in 790 cases - 79 percent - work began before the contracts were "fully executed."

"We would have a problem with this because they're clearly selling fuel to the host committee without a fully executed contract," Berckefeldt said. "We have a real serious issue at the auditor's office with the city doing business with anyone without a contract."

Wild Thing's comment........

LOL their sujpposed reason.................

The host committee, which is responsible for raising money to put on the convention, is using the city's pumps "for safety and security reasons," Lopez said.
"We know the gas is not tainted," he said. "We use it as a safety and security measure."

Also the RNC is NOT doing this as the DNC has said in this article.

Hussein Camp Plasters Posters at Western Wall

Advertises Democrat candidate's website, official slogan at Judaism's holiest site

JERUSALEM – Sen. Barack Obama's campaign plastered the entrance to the Western Wall – the holiest site in Judaism – with official campaign posters, WND has learned.

Jerusalem Police spokesman Mickey Rosenfeld confirmed to WND posters that adorned police barricades erected at the Western Wall plaza for Obama's visit were distributed by the presidential candidate's campaign.

"These posters were his campaign and not the doing of the police," said Rosenfeld, whose police department coordinated security and provided protection for Obama's visit today to the holy site.

Asked if it was traditional practice for politicians visiting the Western Wall to bring along posters or campaign materials, Rosenfeld replied, "No."

The posters display Obama's name in Hebrew. One poster erected on the main police barricade used by Obama to enter the holy site boasts the official red, white and blue campaign "O" symbol and advertises the candidate's campaign's website.

A second poster also displays Obama's name in Hebrew and contains an image of Israeli and American flags.

Reuters posted images of the Obama campaign posters showing a handful of people waiting behind the police barricades.

Reuters images had the following caption:

"Supporters of U.S. Democratic presidential candidate Senator Barack Obama (D-IL) stand behind banners printed with his name in Hebrew as they wait for his arrival at the Western wall."

The caption implied supporters brought along the pro-Obama material.

But an eyewitness speaking to WND tells a different story.

"The kids waiting for Obama may not even be Obama supporters. No one knew Obama was coming in advance. We saw the police barricades erected. We saw Obama's face on the posters, and some police said Obama was on his way. So a few people gathered by the barricades and waited for Obama," said the witness

Wild Thing's comment.......

Manipulation by Obama's team and I find it disgusting! These people do not respect anything. NOT our military, NOT the Jews in Israel, NOT our wounded soldiers, NOT our country......NOTHING!

Yes I am ticked about these lies and disrespect.

....Thank you Mark for sending this to me.

Obama Campaign Says ~ "inapprpopriate to visit our Troops in Germany! "

Girly man, wanna be dictator of the USA .........well if he can't visit our troops he can go to hell as far as I am concerned. I have had it with this Muslim candidate B. Hussein Obama. -- Wild Thing

Jake Tapper of ABC News reports the Obama campaign issued a statement saying the planned visits with the troops were canceled because it was deemed by the campaign to be "inapprpopriate" because Obama's stop in Germany was part of his presidential campaign.

Obama Scrubs Visit to See Troops in Germany; Says “Inappropriate” Since Campaign Funding European Swing

"The German magazine Der Spiegel is reporting on line that Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill. has “cancelled a planned short visit to the Rammstein and Landstuhl U.S. military bases in the southwest German state of Rhineland-Palatinate. The visits were planned for Friday.”
“Barack Obama will not be coming to us,” a spokesperson for the U.S. military hospital in Landstuhl told Der Spiegel. “I don't know why.”

Obama senior adviser Robert Gibbs told us in a statement, “During his trip as part of the CODEL to Afghanistan and Iraq, Senator Obama visited the combat support hospital in the Green Zone in Baghdad and had a number of other visits with the troops. For the second part of his trip, the senator wanted to visit the men and women at Landstuhl Regional Medical Center to express his gratitude for their service and sacrifice. The senator decided out of respect for these servicemen and women that it would be inappropriate to make a stop to visit troops at a U.S. military facility as part of a trip funded by the campaign.”

UPDATE:

A few hours later, this is added:

++ Obama Extends his Berlin Trip ++

4:59 p.m.: Obama seems to like the German capital. He is to stay longer on Friday than he had originally planned, delaying his departure for Paris by two hours to just after noon. According to his team, however, these plans can change at any time.

No mention he's reconsidering his cancellation of visiting the wounded at Landstuhl.

Wild Thing's comment..........

After visiting GIs in Kuwait, Afghanistan and Iraq as part the congressional delegation prelude to his campaign swing in the Middle East and Europe, Barack Obama canceled planned visits to the U.S. military bases at Ramsteina and Landstuhl.

Landstuhl is where wounded U.S. troops are taken from the battlefield to be stabalized before being flown to Walter Reed in Washington, D.C. and other military hospitals back home.

Curiously, Obama opened his speech in Berlin today by saying he was speaking not as a candidate but as a 'citizen of the United States and as a citizen of the world.'

Other news outlets have reported that Obama has taken time to work out at a gym in Berlin and kidded around with reporters about exploring the nightlife in Berlin.

Der Spiegel first reported that Obama canceled the visit to the troops. That story was picked up on Free Republic and then exploded on the blogosphere.

B.Hussein Obama Speaks In Berlin At The Victory Column

“The people in the crowd aren’t voters so in that sense it’s not designed to get them to the polls. It’s not a political rally,” he said aboard his flight to the German capital. “Hopefully, it will be viewed as a substantive articulation of the relationship I’d like to see between the United States and Europe.”

A supporter cheers outside his hotel in Berlin, July 24, 2008. (Jim Young/Reuters)

Berlin, Germany CNN

Berliners were getting ready early for Obama’s address, setting up food stalls and entertainment platforms along an avenue near the site of the event.

A huge crowd gathered at the Victory Column, the site of Obama’s speech, as musicals acts performed in the hours leading up to Obama’s arrival.

Obama volunteers set up shop on street corners and were registering Democrats who live abroad to vote.

“Anyone an American citizen?” bellowed one woman holding a homemade “register to vote” sign.

Some in the crowd were looking to cash in on the Obama frenzy. For 5 euros (about $8), one could pick up two unofficial Obama buttons.

One button that seemed popular among shoppers had a picture of him superimposed with President Kennedy. Another had Obama’s head atop the body of a beer garden waiter holding seven huge glasses of German brew. The button’s slogan said “Obamafest.”

Obama said Thursday his speech will not be “a wonkish policy speech.”

'I come to Berlin as so many of my countrymen have come before. Tonight, I speak to you not as a candidate for President, but as a citizen -- a proud citizen of the United States, and a fellow citizen of the world."

The Crowd ........

BERLIN (AFP) - Barack Obama Thursday told a staggering crowd of 200,000 people in Berlin that Americans and Europeans must tear down walls between estranged allies, races and faiths, in a soaring challenge to a new political generation.

from Fox News Major Garrett
Fox

The US embassy provided almost no help in arranging the visit to the Citadel (where the press conference will be held) and is not facilitating the meeting between Obama and King Abdullah.
The movements and pictures from this day forward are entirely dictated by Obama’s presidential campaign.

While it is true Obama is traveling as a senator, he’s also the Democratic nominee and the trip is intended not only to show his ability to maneuver comfortably on the world stage, it’s also designed, by the campaign’s own admission, to give voters back home a chance to grow more comfortable with movements and settings on the world stage that convey commander-in-chief imagery.

Lastly, the campaign repeatedly dodged questions about whether it would position a camera crew of its own at the Berlin speech for the express purpose of shooting the scene for future campaign ads.

The campaign will bring its standard videographers who shoot for the campaign website to the Citadel today and there are no arrangement for a separate commercial camera crew at that event.

That there may be one at the Berlin speech suggests that event could produce footage for future Obama campaign commercials. That is not certain, but it is a possibility.”

From Drudge and also Drudge is all for B. Hussein Obama!!!

BARACK OBAMA BERLIN SPEECH: 'A WORLD THAT STANDS AS ONE'
THURS JULY 24 2008 12:58:02

Thank you to the citizens of Berlin and to the people of Germany. Let me thank Chancellor Merkel and Foreign Minister Steinmeier for welcoming me earlier today. Thank you Mayor Wowereit, the Berlin Senate, the police, and most of all thank you for this welcome.

I come to Berlin as so many of my countrymen have come before. Tonight, I speak to you not as a candidate for President, but as a citizen -- a proud citizen of the United States, and a fellow citizen of the world.

I know that I don't look like the Americans who've previously spoken in this great city. The journey that led me here is improbable. My mother was born in the heartland of America, but my father grew up herding goats in Kenya. His father -- my grandfather -- was a cook, a domestic servant to the British.

At the height of the Cold War, my father decided, like so many others in the forgotten corners of the world, that his yearning -- his dream -- required the freedom and opportunity promised by the West. And so he wrote letter after letter to universities all across America until somebody, somewhere answered his prayer for a better life.

That is why I'm here. And you are here because you too know that yearning. This city, of all cities, knows the dream of freedom. And you know that the only reason we stand here tonight is because men and women from both of our nations came together to work, and struggle, and sacrifice for that better life.

Ours is a partnership that truly began sixty years ago this summer, on the day when the first American plane touched down at Templehof.

On that day, much of this continent still lay in ruin. The rubble of this city had yet to be built into a wall. The Soviet shadow had swept across Eastern Europe, while in the West, America, Britain, and France took stock of their losses, and pondered how the world might be remade.

This is where the two sides met.Ê And on the twenty-fourth of June, 1948, the Communists chose to blockade the western part of the city. They cut off food and supplies to more than two million Germans in an effort to extinguish the last flame of freedom in Berlin.

The size of our forces was no match for the much larger Soviet Army. And yet retreat would have allowed Communism to march across Europe. Where the last war had ended, another World War could have easily begun. All that stood in the way was Berlin.

And that's when the airlift began -- when the largest and most unlikely rescue in history brought food and hope to the people of this city.

The odds were stacked against success. In the winter, a heavy fog filled the sky above, and many planes were forced to turn back without dropping off the needed supplies. The streets where we stand were filled with hungry families who had no comfort from the cold.

But in the darkest hours, the people of Berlin kept the flame of hope burning. The people of Berlin refused to give up. And on one fall day, hundreds of thousands of Berliners came here, to the Tiergarten, and heard the city's mayor implore the world not to give up on freedom. "There is only one possibility," he said. "For us to stand together united until this battle is won.The people of Berlin have spoken. We have done our duty, and we will keep on doing our duty. People of the world: now do your duty. People of the world, look at Berlin!"

People of the world -- look at Berlin!

Look at Berlin, where Germans and Americans learned to work together and trust each other less than three years after facing each other on the field of battle.

Look at Berlin, where the determination of a people met the generosity of the Marshall Plan and created a German miracle; where a victory over tyranny gave rise to NATO, the greatest alliance ever formed to defend our common security.

Look at Berlin, where the bullet holes in the buildings and the somber stones and pillars near the Brandenburg Gate insist that we never forget our common humanity.

People of the world -- look at Berlin, where a wall came down, a continent came together, and history proved that there is no challenge too great for a world that stands as one.

Sixty years after the airlift, we are called upon again. History has led us to a new crossroad, with new promise and new peril. When you, the German people, tore down that wall -- a wall that divided East and West; freedom and tyranny; fear and hope -- walls came tumbling down around the world. From Kiev to Cape Town, prison camps were closed, and the doors of democracy were opened. Markets opened too, and the spread of information and technology reduced barriers to opportunity and prosperity. While the 20th century taught us that we share a common destiny, the 21st has revealed a world more intertwined than at any time in human history.

The fall of the Berlin Wall brought new hope. But that very closeness has given rise to new dangers -- dangers that cannot be contained within the borders of a country or by the distance of an ocean.

The terrorists of September 11th plotted in Hamburg and trained in Kandahar and Karachi before killing thousands from all over the globe on American soil.

As we speak, cars in Boston and factories in Beijing are melting the ice caps in the Arctic, shrinking coastlines in the Atlantic, and bringing drought to farms from Kansas to Kenya.

Poorly secured nuclear material in the former Soviet Union, or secrets from a scientist in Pakistan could help build a bomb that detonates in Paris. The poppies in Afghanistan become the heroin in Berlin. The poverty and violence in Somalia breeds the terror of tomorrow. The genocide in Darfur shames the conscience of us all.

In this new world, such dangerous currents have swept along faster than our efforts to contain them. That is why we cannot afford to be divided. No one nation, no matter how large or powerful, can defeat such challenges alone. None of us can deny these threats, or escape responsibility in meeting them. Yet, in the absence of Soviet tanks and a terrible wall, it has become easy to forget this truth. And if we're honest with each other, we know that sometimes, on both sides of the Atlantic, we have drifted apart, and forgotten our shared destiny.

In Europe, the view that America is part of what has gone wrong in our world, rather than a force to help make it right, has become all too common. In America, there are voices that deride and deny the importance of Europe's role in our security and our future. Both views miss the truth -- that Europeans today are bearing new burdens and taking more responsibility in critical parts of the world; and that just as American bases built in the last century still help to defend the security of this continent, so does our country still sacrifice greatly for freedom around the globe.

Yes, there have been differences between America and Europe. No doubt, there will be differences in the future. But the burdens of global citizenship continue to bind us together. A change of leadership in Washington will not lift this burden. In this new century, Americans and Europeans alike will be required to do more -- not less. Partnership and cooperation among nations is not a choice; it is the one way, the only way, to protect our common security and advance our common humanity.

That is why the greatest danger of all is to allow new walls to divide us from one another. The walls between old allies on either side of the Atlantic cannot stand. The walls between the countries with the most and those with the least cannot stand. The walls between races and tribes; natives and immigrants; Christian and Muslim and Jew cannot stand. These now are the walls we must tear down.

We know they have fallen before. After centuries of strife, the people of Europe have formed a Union of promise and prosperity. Here, at the base of a column built to mark victory in war, we meet in the center of a Europe at peace. Not only have walls come down in Berlin, but they have come down in Belfast, where Protestant and Catholic found a way to live together; in the Balkans, where our Atlantic alliance ended wars and brought savage war criminals to justice; and in South Africa, where the struggle of a courageous people defeated apartheid. Ê So history reminds us that walls can be torn down. But the task is never easy. True partnership and true progress requires constant work and sustained sacrifice. They require sharing the burdens of development and diplomacy; of progress and peace. They require allies who will listen to each other, learn from each other and, most of all, trust each other.

That is why America cannot turn inward. That is why Europe cannot turn inward. America has no better partner than Europe. Now is the time to build new bridges across the globe as strong as the one that bound us across the Atlantic. Now is the time to join together, through constant cooperation, strong institutions, shared sacrifice, and a global commitment to progress, to meet the challenges of the 21st century. It was this spirit that led airlift planes to appear in the sky above our heads, and people to assemble where we stand today. And this is the moment when our nations -- and all nations -- must summon that spirit anew.

This is the moment when we must defeat terror and dry up the well of extremism that supports it. This threat is real and we cannot shrink from our responsibility to combat it. If we could create NATO to face down the Soviet Union, we can join in a new and global partnership to dismantle the networks that have struck in Madrid and Amman; in London and Bali; in Washington and New York. If we could win a battle of ideas against the communists, we can stand with the vast majority of Muslims who reject the extremism that leads to hate instead of hope.

This is the moment when we must renew our resolve to rout the terrorists who threaten our security in Afghanistan, and the traffickers who sell drugs on your streets. No one welcomes war. I recognize the enormous difficulties in Afghanistan. But my country and yours have a stake in seeing that NATO's first mission beyond Europe's borders is a success. For the people of Afghanistan, and for our shared security, the work must be done. America cannot do this alone. The Afghan people need our troops and your troops; our support and your support to defeat the Taliban and al Qaeda, to develop their economy, and to help them rebuild their nation. We have too much at stake to turn back now.

This is the moment when we must renew the goal of a world without nuclear weapons. The two superpowers that faced each other across the wall of this city came too close too often to destroying all we have built and all that we love. With that wall gone, we need not stand idly by and watch the further spread of the deadly atom. It is time to secure all loose nuclear materials; to stop the spread of nuclear weapons; and to reduce the arsenals from another era. This is the moment to begin the work of seeking the peace of a world without nuclear weapons.

This is the moment when every nation in Europe must have the chance to choose its own tomorrow free from the shadows of yesterday. In this century, we need a strong European Union that deepens the security and prosperity of this continent, while extending a hand abroad. In this century -- in this city of all cities -- we must reject the Cold War mind-set of the past, and resolve to work with Russia when we can, to stand up for our values when we must, and to seek a partnership that extends across this entire continent.

This is the moment when we must build on the wealth that open markets have created, and share its benefits more equitably. Trade has been a cornerstone of our growth and global development. But we will not be able to sustain this growth if it favors the few, and not the many. Together, we must forge trade that truly rewards the work that creates wealth, with meaningful protections for our people and our planet. This is the moment for trade that is free and fair for all.

This is the moment we must help answer the call for a new dawn in the Middle East. My country must stand with yours and with Europe in sending a direct message to Iran that it must abandon its nuclear ambitions. We must support the Lebanese who have marched and bled for democracy, and the Israelis and Palestinians who seek a secure and lasting peace. And despite past differences, this is the moment when the world should support the millions of Iraqis who seek to rebuild their lives, even as we pass responsibility to the Iraqi government and finally bring this war to a close.

This is the moment when we must come together to save this planet. Let us resolve that we will not leave our children a world where the oceans rise and famine spreads and terrible storms devastate our lands. Let us resolve that all nations -- including my own -- will act with the same seriousness of purpose as has your nation, and reduce the carbon we send into our atmosphere. This is the moment to give our children back their future. This is the moment to stand as one.

And this is the moment when we must give hope to those left behind in a globalized world. We must remember that the Cold War born in this city was not a battle for land or treasure. Sixty years ago, the planes that flew over Berlin did not drop bombs; instead they delivered food, and coal, and candy to grateful children. And in that show of solidarity, those pilots won more than a military victory. They won hearts and minds; love and loyalty and trust -- not just from the people in this city, but from all those who heard the story of what they did here.

Now the world will watch and remember what we do here -- what we do with this moment. Will we extend our hand to the people in the forgotten corners of this world who yearn for lives marked by dignity and opportunity; by security and justice? Will we lift the child in Bangladesh from poverty, shelter the refugee in Chad, and banish the scourge of AIDS in our time?

Will we stand for the human rights of the dissident in Burma, the blogger in Iran, or the voter in Zimbabwe? Will we give meaning to the words "never again" in Darfur?

Will we acknowledge that there is no more powerful example than the one each of our nations projects to the world? Will we reject torture and stand for the rule of law? Will we welcome immigrants from different lands, and shun discrimination against those who don't look like us or worship like we do, and keep the promise of equality and opportunity for all of our people?

People of Berlin -- people of the world -- this is our moment. This is our time

I know my country has not perfected itself. At times, we've struggled to keep the promise of liberty and equality for all of our people. We've made our share of mistakes, and there are times when our actions around the world have not lived up to our best intentions.

But I also know how much I love America. I know that for more than two centuries, we have strived -- at great cost and great sacrifice -- to form a more perfect union; to seek, with other nations, a more hopeful world. Our allegiance has never been to any particular tribe or kingdom -- indeed, every language is spoken in our country; every culture has left its imprint on ours; every point of view is expressed in our public squares. What has always united us -- what has always driven our people; what drew my father to America's shores -- is a set of ideals that speak to aspirations shared by all people: that we can live free from fear and free from want; that we can speak our minds and assemble with whomever we choose and worship as we please.

Those are the aspirations that joined the fates of all nations in this city. Those aspirations are bigger than anything that drives us apart. It is because of those aspirations that the airlift began. It is because of those aspirations that all free people -- everywhere -- became citizens of Berlin. It is in pursuit of those aspirations that a new generation -- our generation -- must make our mark on history.

People of Berlin -- and people of the world -- the scale of our challenge is great. The road ahead will be long. But I come before you to say that we are heirs to a struggle for freedom. We are a people of improbable hope. Let us build on our common history, and seize our common destiny, and once again engage in that noble struggle to bring justice and peace to our world.

Wild Thing's comment.........

They should have broadcast it at Gitmo for the prisoners there. Now we’re talking torture!!!!! Let me make this perfectly clear....uhhhhhhhhhhhh......duhhhhhhhh.....uhhhhhhhhhhh

Citizen of the world? I would have appreciated more if he could have said a Proud American citizen!!!! Oh wait this is America hating Obama speaking.

Of course he just HAD to work the race angle in. I’m surprised it only took him until the 2nd paragraph..”I don’t look like other Americans who have stood here.” Uh Yah, those others actually had brains.

“Tonight, I speak to you not as a candidate for President, but as a citizen — “

Then pay your own way you worthless bastard, and leave my tax money alone!!!!!!!

He is telling the Germans what noble victims they were.

Forgetting we did the airlift, we rehabbed Germany and Europe after they nearly destroyed civilization and that wall went down because of us.

'People of Berlin -- people of the world -- this is our moment. This is our time.'

One World? Hell, the world is a US world.

Weak crowd response.

Weak delivery. There is no passion, no real belief.

And how stupid is he? Communism DID MARCH all over Europe.

"...As we speak, cars in Boston and factories in Beijing are melting the ice caps in the Arctic, shrinking coastlines in the Atlantic, and bringing drought to farms from Kansas to Kenya..."

THIS IS AN OUT AND OUT LIE TO SAY THIS!

This is truly unprecedented, campaigning in a foreign nation, criticizing your own nation and the current American president on foreign soil, proclaiming a vision for “our people.” This is a nauseating speech, I find this foreign campaigning flatly offensive, and his internationalist, socialist, enviro-hysteria rhetoric as truly alarming. God, I hope our nation does not fall for this charlatan.

B.Hussein Flyers For Germany

Obama is using flyers printed in German to turn people out for his campaign rally in Berlin on Thursday. This flyer can be found on a bilingual page on BarackObama.com advertising the event:

Similar to this.........................

The German flyers bear Obama's campaign logo and say "Paid for by Obama for America."

Remember the other day when Obama's campaign said this:

“It is not going to be a political speech,” said a senior foreign policy adviser, who spoke to reporters on background. “When the president of the United States goes and gives a speech, it is not a political speech or a political rally.
“But he is not president of the United States,” a reporter reminded the adviser.

Wild Thing's comment..........

Dangerous!!!!!!

This sure is taking the normal baby-kissing campaigns to a new height. Reminder.....this is supposed to be an American candidate????

It sure feels like this entire trip of his had one main goal. NOT a goal of seeing the troops that was a token stop. NOT talking to General Petraeus that made no difference, as Obama stated afterward he still felt the same way about the surge as he did before.

Nope this trip has all been a lead up, an excuse to get to Germany to make this speech he wants to make.

There are countless examples of Communist imagery (largely Stalinist, Leninist, Maoist, and Che followers’ works) reworked to celebrate the Obamessiah.

This is a concious image decision within his scampaign.

They are effective images and some of them hit home to the true believer fellow travellers on the left.

Shepherd Fairey’s fans are familiar with his “revolutionary” politics. He is the artist beind the famous CHANGE and HOPE posters that were illegal wheatpasted around cities earlier in the year. It was work for hire and Obama wrote him a letter of praise expressing familiarity with his work in galleries and stuck on stop signs in public.

They know what type of message they are sending. It isn’t a coincidence.

I can’t believe this is happening right before our eyes. Our Founding Fathers would be speechless.

Obama:'Look At My Deeds'..That I Didn't Actually Do

Obama, saying that the Senate Banking Committee — “which is my committee,” he says — passed some bill about something. Problem is, he’s not actually on the Senate Banking Committee at all.

Obama: 'Look At My Deeds'... That I Didn't Actually Do

NRO

Obama in Israel:

by Jim Geraghty

"Now, in terms of knowing my commitments, you don't have to just look at my words, you can look at my deeds. Just this past week, we passed out of the U.S. Senate Banking Committee, which is my committee, a bill to call for divestment from Iran, as a way of ratcheting up the pressure to ensure that they don't obtain a nuclear weapon. "

I was going to say that Obama's statement that the Senate Banking Committee is "my committee" wasn't that big a deal, and not that surprising from a man who told Bibi Netanyahu that he was about ready to "fall sleep standing up." But he did say in the immediate preceding sentence, "Now, in terms of knowing my commitments, you don't have to just look at my words, you can look at my deeds."

In this case, Obama's words are wrong, and "his deeds" don't actually include voting for this bill. He had no role in the "passage" of this legislation.

I don't think it is wise for Obama to try this stuff in front of the Israelis.

UPDATE: The Obama defense: the bill that passed included provisions that match legislation he introduced last year. The problem is, that doesn't explain the "we" and the "which is my committee."

Wild Thing's comment........

Whew Obama sure is a piece of work, or non work. haaha Little by little some in the media are a tiny bit getting enough of this communist Obama.

Something to think about regarding B. Hussein Obama. The MAJORITY of this man’s public life has been engaged in running for the next level up the ladder...seriously. So I’m thinking...he’ll spend four years running for Emperor of the New World Order?

Silence From Left On Military Voting

The Soldier Voting Scandal
by Robert D. Novak

WASHINGTON, D.C.

Rep. Roy Blunt, the House Republican whip, on July 8 introduced a resolution demanding that the Defense Department better enable U.S. military personnel overseas to vote in the November elections.

That act was followed by silence.

Democrats normally leap on an opportunity to find fault with the Bush Pentagon. But not a single Democrat joined Blunt as a co-sponsor, and an all-Republican proposal cannot pass in the Democratic-controlled House.

Analysis by the federal Election Assistance Commission, rejecting inflated Defense Department voting claims, estimated overseas and absentee military voting for the 2006 midterm elections at a disgracefully low 5.5 percent. The quality of voting statistics is so poor that there is no way to tell how many of the slightly over 330,000 votes actually were sent in by the absentee military voters and their dependents and how many by civilian Americans living abroad -- 6 million all total.

Nobody who has studied the question objectively sees any improvement since 2006, and that is a scandal. Retired U.S. Marine Corps Capt. Charles Henry wrote in the July issue of the U.S. Naval Institute Proceedings: "While virtually everyone involved seems to agree that military people deserve at least equal opportunity when it comes to having their votes counted, indications are that in November 2008, many thousands of service members who try to vote will do so in vain."

Henry, now an independent broadcast journalist, has personal experience with this enduring scandal. While serving as a Marine at sea off Iran, he received his 1980 presidential ballot too late to count. President Harry Truman said of troops fighting in Korea, "The least we at home can do is to make sure that they are able to enjoy the rights they are being asked to fight to preserve." But the U.S. military that has so perfected the art of war over the past half-century is at a loss to enable soldiers to vote.

A combat officer has enough to do without handling the votes of troopers fighting in Iraq and Afghanistan. A Defense Department Inspector General's report in March last year recommended "appointment of civilian personnel" as "voting assistance officers." The Pentagon brass rejected the idea.

I reported four years ago that the problems of 2000 overseas military voting had not been corrected for the 2004 presidential election. At that time, Under Secretary of Defense David Chu was put in charge of the problem. During massive turnover at the Pentagon, Chu remains in place -- best known among critics of the military vote problem for his chronic failure to return telephone calls.

Congressional attention to the problem has been scattered and limited mostly to Republicans such as Sen. John Cornyn, who earlier this year decried "a lack of will" at the Pentagon to solve the voting problem. Democratic interest about tackling the problem might be tempered by apprehension that soldiers will cast too many Republican votes.

Nevertheless, at least one prominent Democrat -- House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer -- described himself to me as eager to deal with this problem. (Hoyer's home state of Maryland is one of the worst offenders, with ballots of only 4.1 percent of overseas voters counted in 2006.) Hoyer and Blunt, who have become friendly adversaries in a bitterly partisan Congress, conferred several weeks ago and agreed in principle on co-sponsoring a resolution aimed at getting the Defense Department moving.

Hoyer wanted the resolution to cover expatriate Americans as well as the military, and Blunt did not object. They turned the issue over to their staffers and went about the business of major legislation. Blunt had instructed his staff to seek agreement with Democrats but, if not, to introduce a resolution applying only to the military, which was the outcome.

Wild Thing's comment.........

This is really disheartening, complete disgrace!!!!!! The Military ballots should count two times.

The Dems in general prevent the military vote. This time won’t be any different... it’ll probably be worse.

I remember how Gore worked to prevent the military vote from being counted in the 2000 election. And he pulled it off too, with the help of the Chicago political machine he succeeded in disallowing the vast majority of overseas military votes. That same Chicago machine now has a horse in the race.

This would be a GREAT campaign issue for McCain to take the lead on.

No excuses, Republicans Senators and Congressman should be screaming from the housetops.

Obama RATS Gone Wild Tour 08

Obama takes on airs of inevitability

The Washington Times

Barack Obama is only a candidate, but don't tell that to the Germans, some of whom have leapfrogged that whole election thing and already are calling him "President Obama" in advance of his visit.

For that matter, his own campaign could use a reminder. For the second time in as many days, reporters traveling with Mr. Obama on his overseas trip corrected campaign staffers for saying White House practices also govern his campaign in dealing with the press, or in delivering speeches.

Even the King of Jordan gave the senator from Illinois special treatment - personally driving the presumed Democratic nominee to the airport in his Mercedes.

Meantime, Mr. Obama has met with top U.S. military commanders and engaged in negotiations with foreign leaders, prompting strong criticism from a former White House adviser who accused him of crossing the line by talking about his conversations with Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki.

"We have a long tradition in this country that we only have one president at a time. He's the commander in chief and the negotiator in chief. I cannot remember a campaign in which a rival seeking the presidency has been in a position negotiating a war that's under way with another party outside the country," David Gergen, who has served four presidents in both parties during his career, said on CNN Monday night.

The freshman senator has run into similar self-perception troubles before for a faux presidential seal on his speaking podium and for considering an address at Berlin's iconic Brandenburg Gate, where President Kennedy delivered his "Ich bin ein Berliner" speech during the Cold War.

German Chancellor Angela Merkel opposed Mr. Obama's site selection, calling it "inappropriate" for politics.

Instead, Mr. Obama will speak Thursday at Berlin's Victory Column, a far less lofty site commemorating Austria's defeat in the Austro-Prussian War, in an event that is expected to draw thousands and provide footage for the campaign's TV ads.

On CBS' "Face the Nation," Mr. Obama said the objective of his trip was "to have substantive discussions with people like Afghan President Karzai or Iraqi Prime Minister Maliki or French] President Sarkozy or others who I expect to be dealing with over the next eight to 10 years." That comment, and another in which he said he "never" has doubts, became fodder for another "Audacity Watch."

A Berlin hotel staffer told a reporter Tuesday she was "very excited" that "President Obama" would be speaking just down the street, and mentioned her parents' emotions of love for the United States when Mr. Kennedy spoke there in the 1960s.

At the site of the upcoming speech, a security officer explained that he and others had blocked off traffic ......"because the president from America is coming."

The role of president and presidential candidate was further blurred Tuesday when a senior campaign official on the trip, who spoke to reporters on background, denied that Mr. Obama's address in Berlin had any political overtones.

"It's not going to be a political speech. When the president of the United States goes and gives a speech, it is not a political speech or a political rally," the senior adviser said.

"But he is not a president of the United States," a reporter told the adviser.

"He is going to talk about the issues as an individual ... not as a candidate, but as an individual, as a senator," Mr. Obama's aide replied. The adviser insisted that the Berlin speech "is not for campaign purposes."

However, after the briefing, campaign media adviser David Axelrod said in a statement that the aide's description of the Berlin rally was inaccurate.

"The answer is that, of course, any event outside of a congressional delegation trip is a campaign event. But it is not a political rally. He will not engage his American political opponents. It is a speech to our allies and the people of Europe," he said.

The Republican National Committee was having a field day with these stories Tuesday, sending out press releases with the headline, "Senior Obama foreign policy adviser: Obama is president of the United States."

If Mr. Obama's upcoming speech in Berlin "is not political, why shoot footage for campaign ads?" the RNC said.

The Obama campaign's efforts to elevate the candidate, who has served 3 1/2 years in the U.S. Senate, has come under increasing criticism from pundits who say his fame does not live up to his accomplishments.

"Americans are beginning to notice Obama's elevated opinion of himself. There's nothing new about narcissism in politics. Every senator looks in the mirror and sees a president," Washington Post columnist Charles Krauthammer wrote last week.

"Nonetheless, has there ever been a presidential nominee with a wider gap between his estimation of himself and the sum total of his lifetime achievements?" he asked.

Earlier this month, Los Angeles Times reporter Peter Nicholas wrote a story saying, "He's not president yet, but Barack Obama has already given some thought to White House decor."

Asked at a town hall meeting in Fargo, N.D., whether he had any decorating plans for the Lincoln Bedroom, he recalled a visit to the White House soon after he came to the Senate and seeing "this flat-screen TV in there. That didn't seem to be appropriate. So I might take out the TV, I don't know."

Wild Thing's comment........

I think it is smack down time. I think that foreigners calling him "Mr. President" is very offensive.

"We have a long tradition in this country that we only have one president at a time. He's the commander in chief and the negotiator in chief. I cannot remember a campaign in which a rival seeking the presidency has been in a position negotiating a war that's under way with another party outside the country," David Gergen, who has served four presidents in both parties during his career, said on CNN Monday night.

LOL for Gergen to say what he did I almost fell off my chair. He is a total lib.

Katie Couric In Amman Interviews Obama- McCain Weighs In

Wild Thing's comment........

McCain called for an got the surge strategy in Iraq...and it is clearly working.

Obama can't grasp, or will fail to acknowledge, due to his own anti-American and marxist tunnel vision, any of the following points regarding the war in Iraq and the impact on Iran.

Going into Iraq in the 1st place was no mistake. An abject tyrant, and friend to our enemies, was brought down and tens of millions of people given an opportunity for liberty. Besides, look at a map. We have Iran, the largest state sponsor of terror hemmed in on three sides. Iran can not got to the bathroom without us knowing about it and being able to do something about it. And they know it, and that geo-political reality is no accident.

The terrorists are hiding in holes, or dying when they come out and are unable to attack us here. They fear our remote controlled, unmanned predator and reaper aircraft, knowing that day or night they can see them and kill them with no chance whatsoever of martydom.

But Obama says we are less safe now and that the "strategy" has failed. Well, I have a question or two about that in light of the foregoing.

How is it less safe for us here to have the principle state sponsor of terror so hemmed in by our forces?

How is it less safe for us here to be developing two free, constitutional republics in the middle east to the chagrin and spite of the totalitarian jihadists there, showing the people of the entire region that there is a hope for freedom?

How it is less safe for us here to have so shut down the terror network that gave us 911 that they have not been able to execute another terror attack on our soil since?

Any objective, common sense look at the geopolitical situation simply punctuates the success of the policy of taking this fight to this enemy...and McCain has improved it, not lessened or weakened it.

Obama is looking more and more desperate, more and more foolish in the face of continued success, and, OBTW, that is a success born of volunteers who reapply for service in large percentages who have been there, seen the enemy, defeated him, and know the importance of the mission.

Liberal Media Andrea Mitchell Blasts Obama "Fake Interviews"

Backlash from the media on coverage of The Messiah

On Chris Mathews show, Hardball ( MSNBC ) Andrea Mitchell criticizes Obama's media manipulation during his war zone trip, saying he's conducting what some would call "fake interviews," adding we dont' know what's really going on because the media has been excluded.
source:
Newsbusters

MITCHELL: Let me just say something about the message management. He didn't have reporters with him, he didn't have a press pool, he didn't do a press conference while he was on the ground in either Afghanistan or Iraq. What you're seeing is not reporters brought in. You're seeing selected pictures taken by the military, questions by the military, and what some would call fake interviews, because they're not interviews from a journalist. So, there's a real press issue here. Politically it's smart as can be. But we've not seen a presidential candidate do this, in my recollection, ever before.

When Matthews inquired about the atmospherics of the trip, Mitchell made clear her frustration as a reporter.

MATTHEWS: Let me ask you about access to the troops, Andrea. A lot of African-American faces over there, very happy, delighted faces. Is that a representation of the percentage of servicepeople who are African-American, or did they all choose to join someone they like, apparently? What's the story?

MITCHELL: I can't really say that. Being a reporter who was not present in any of those situations, I just cannot report on what was edited out, what was, you know, on the sidelines. That's my issue. We don't know what we are seeing.

Wild Thing's comment.......

There was Gergen at CNN in my other post saying Obama made a big, big mistake. There's only one president at a time, and he's out there negotiating with Maliki and all these other foreign leaders as though he's the president.

An Open Letter to Barack Obama

AM ISRAEL CHAI! LONG LIVE ISRAEL

An Open Letter to Barack Obama

by David Ha'ivri

We know who you are and who your friends are.

Barack, your visit here is just a waste of time; you're not wanted or needed here. We'll do just fine without you and you'll probably do better with out us, too. Don't come around here making as if you're looking out for the good of Israel. We know who you are and who your friends are. Zigzagging back and forth about dividing or un-dividing Jerusalem won't clear your history.

I'm not talking about your middle name. Any good Christian might have the middle name Hussein (although I can't think of any others). We won't hold that against you. There are worse things than having an Arab name; like for instance being supported by a known Jew-hater, bigot Louis Farrakhan of the Nation of Islam, who among other statements has accused the Jews of bringing on the Holocaust through cooperation with Hitler - "They helped him get the Third Reich on the road." But, of course, it would be wrong to hold that against you, because you haven't been rallying for his support (recently).

We can't really blame you for the beliefs of Father Michael Pfleger, who embraces Black Liberation Theology, which claims that Jesus was Black - so the Jews have no claim to Israel and, therefore, the Muslims are the rightful heirs of the Holy Land. Those beliefs have nothing to do with you, aside from the fact that you have coined the man your "moral compass." But one must admit that Pfleger is not your only mentor and also is not alone in looking up to Farrakhan.

Your spiritual mentor is Reverend Jeremiah Wright, who has praised Jimmy Carter for denouncing Zionism. Last year, the Trumpet Newsmagazine of Chicago's Trinity United Church of Christ gave the Dr. Jeremiah A. Wright Jr. Trumpeter Award to Louis Farrakhan and said that he is a man who "truly epitomized greatness." You are a member of that Church and Jeremiah Wright is its leader and your spiritual adviser.

Now you won't go so far as to criticize Jimmy Carter, not even for meeting with the heads of Hamas, because, to paraphrase your words, "It's not your place to criticize him." That is, not until the next day, when you were seeking the support of Jewish leaders. Then you must have found a new place for criticism. Aren't the Jews great for giving a guy a new vision and a sense of self-confidence? Is that what you meant by, "It's time for change"?

Barack Hussein, we won't hold it against you. But can you tell us what you mean by supporting a Palestinian State along side Israel? Do you mean a replay of the ethnic cleansing of Jews from Gaza three years ago? Do you foresee soldiers carrying men, women and children away from their homes, which are to be demolished by bulldozers? Palestinian rule brought on the endless rocket fire on Sderot and the thousands of Jewish refugees who have yet to find permanent homes or means of a steady income. Is that your vision of a new hope that Farakkhan's Final Call website praises you for?

Barack Hussein, why don't you just go home? Your visit to Israel this week is not because you're looking out for the wellbeing of Israel and the Jewish people. You're coming to Israel looking for the Jewish vote; your goal is to
speak with the Jewish American voters through the press coverage of this tour to the holy land. You want them to think that you took the time off from your busy campaign to further peace in the Middle East. Your hope is that enough stupid Jews will misread the message and take it as an act of support for Israel.

Don't use us or our land as a photo-op to transmit a twisted call for support to Jewish-American voters. You don't fool us. We know who you and your friends are.

Barack Hussein, why don't you just go home? But on the way out, remember the words you heard here from the proud Jewish settlers in Judea and Samaria: "This is our land!" We are back after two thousand years of forced exile and we are not about to leave it again.

I’d also like to have Barak go away; perhaps he could go back to Indonesia, or Kenya.

This is an excellent letter/ article.

American Flag Disappears From Obama Campaign Jet

The U.S. flag no longer appears on the tail of the plane that will be used by presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Barack Obama (Courtesy Chicago Sun-Times)

Candidate's trademark 'O' replaces stars and stripes

As part of a month-long aircraft makeover, a painted American flag was removed from the tail of Sen. Barack Obama's official campaign airplane and was replaced with the presidential candidate's trademark "O" symbol.

The refurbished 757 was unveiled to members of the news media today, 41 of whom boarded the craft and took off to meet Obama in Amman, Jordan, where the presidential candidate will stop as part of a Middle Eastern and European tour.

Obama traveled to the Mideast earlier this week on board a separate airplane.

Fox News blogger Bonny Kapp, traveling on Obama's new airplane, reported:

"The North American jet that flew Obama and his traveling crew around for much of the primary season was refurbished with new seats and power for each passenger a must on the campaign trail. And the plane that once had an American flag on its tail now sports the Obama 'O.'"

Obama's 'O' symbol is red, white and blue.

Most official U.S. government aircraft, including Air Force One, have U.S. flags on their tails.

Both Fox News and the Chicago Sun-Times posted pictures of the Obama campaign's redressed airplane, which does not have an American flag or any other U.S. national symbols on the section that sports the airplane door from which Obama and his team will enter and exit.

The airplane boasts Obama's anthem, "Change We Can Believe In" and the candidate’s website address.

The aircraft also has required identification numbers and a U.S. flag to identify the nationality of the aircraft.

According to Chicago Sun-Times reporter Lynn Sweet, the refurbished Obama aircraft features a "first class" section for the candidate and his closest advisors; several "business class" seats, and a large coach section, usually meant for the traveling press corps.

Sweet reported fruit and cheese platters greeted reporters on board the flight. Dinner options offered were beef medallions, baked tilapia or eggplant parmesan.

She wrote the Obama campaign provided overnight kits for the flight that include toothbrush, mouthwash, socks, Neutrogena body lotion and lip moisturizer, Scope mouthwash, ear plugs and a blindfold for sleeping

Wild Thing's comment........

The USA Flag missing from the plane. I have to wonder did they check the fireplace????

....note Flag in fireplace

It appears as though B. Hussein plans on forming his own country here.

The old Cult of Personality. Hitler had it, Stalin had it, Mussolini had it. Now Obama has it, with the entire MSM acting as his Josef Goebbels.

The article says the flag is still on it someplace.

The Flag is not where the cameras will see it as Obama exits the plane. The photo-op reigns supreme, dontcha know.

First he won’t wear the flag pin, then he wouldn’t place his hand on his heart and now he’s just proved to the world that he’s still got a problem with the American flag. His wife is not proud of America except now when her husband might have a chance to be President. Obama has said he is embarassed with America from what Europeans say about us not speaking French????? WTF !

B. Hussein Obama Won't 'Rubber Stamp' Military Decisions

Obama Won't 'Rubber Stamp' Military Decisions

BAGHDAD, Iraq
July 21, 2008

VIDEO INTERVIEW IS HERE JUST CLICK THEN CLICK ON THE VIDEO - thank you

After meeting with top U.S. military commanders and members of the Iraqi government, Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill., today said his opposition to the surge and support for a firm timetable for the withdrawal of troops hasn't changed.

In an exclusive interview, Obama told "Nightline" that if elected president, "we're going to begin to phase out our troops."

Obama is seeing a vastly different Iraq than the one he saw when he last visited more than two years ago. Violence and American casualties are way down, and the streets of Baghdad are bustling again.

So far this month, five U.S. troops have been killed in combat, compared with 78 U.S. deaths last July. Attacks across the country are down more than 80 percent. Still, when asked if knowing what he knows now, he would support the surge, the senator said no.

"These kinds of hypotheticals are very difficult," he said. "Hindsight is 20/20. But I think that what I am absolutely convinced of is, at that time, we had to change the political debate because the view of the Bush administration at that time was one that I just disagreed with, and one that I continue to disagree with -- is to look narrowly at Iraq and not focus on these broader issues."

Wild Thing's comment.......

"My job is to think about the national security interests as a whole and to weigh and balance risks in Afghanistan and Iraq. Their job is just to get the job done here, and I completely understand that."

Obama, in his arrogance, failed to recognize that Petraeus, having recently been promoted to head up Centcom, which oversees both Iraq and Afghanistan, would also be looking at Iraq from the same perspective.

I will never forgive Hussein Obama for his treatment when General Petraeus spoke here the last time, and now I will add this to how he has chosen not to heed the words of General Petraeus.

If he does not care what the General says to him before he ( Obama) is President ( if he wins), he sure as heck is NOT going to listen to him when he is in the Oval Office.

Dear God please dont' let this military hater become Commander in Chief.

Obama: I Still Would Not Support the Surge in Iraq

Wild Thing's comment........

OK ..shaking my head here....... He admits the surge is working, but when asked if he would have voted differently he says NO. ....."Obama immediately referred to political considerations.".....! The surge working means we have a lot less injuries and death of our soldiers but even knowing this Obama COULD CARE LESS. It is POLITICS! It is about Obama disagreeing with a Republican, disagreeing with Bush and McCain. It is NOT about winning the war.

This viile POS, limp wristed girly man, Muslim, white hating, drug taking, terrorist loving, work of NON art needs to be as they say "bitch slapped". I have no idea what bitch slapping is but it has always sounded like something that would not feel good. And so I say do it to him and that would be just for starters.

I'm convinced that Obama is, in a clinical sense, a sociopath - meaning that he lacks an innate sense of right and wrong, good and evil. He is the epitome of the self-seeking opportunist. And he is the most dangerous man to ever receive a major party nomination for the Presidency.

Lives of US soldiers and military victory are not as important as proving himself to be right. In a profession of egomaniacs, even this is over the top!

God help me I can't stand this so called man. Obama has told us what we already know: his political welfare takes precedence over the welfare of the country. A man motivated by such a consideration is unfit to become its Commander In Chief!

Obama "Bows to Nobody in Understanding This World"

Susan E. Rice is the senior foreign policy adviser for US presidential candidate Sen. Barack Obama.

Interview with Obama Foreign Policy Adviser

Der Spiegel Online

Susan Rice is senior foreign policy adviser to Barack Obama. In an interview with SPIEGEL, Rice discusses Obama's upcoming visit to Europe, how it might be received in the US and how Obama intends to strengthen US-European ties -- and commitments.

SPIEGEL: It is unusual for a US presidential candidate to travel to Europe in the middle of the campaign. Why is Barack Obama coming?

Susan Rice: Senator Obama believes it is critically important for the United States and Europe to cooperate far more effectively than we have in recent years. None of us can tackle the critical global challenges we face in isolation -- be it terrorism, proliferation, climate change, disease, poverty or energy security. Obama will want to discuss in Europe and Germany how we each view these challenges and how we can best address them together.

SPIEGEL: Critics say the trip is nothing but a PR stunt to strengthen his foreign-policy credentials and that he has only rarely been to Europe before.

Rice: Senator Obama has travelled to Europe, Africa, the Middle East and South Asia many times before. He lived in Asia. He bows to nobody in his understanding of this world. This trip will be yet another opportunity for Senator Obama to exchange views with the leaders of countries whose partnership is critically important to US national security.

SPIEGEL: The reception for Obama in Europe will be very warm. But too much European enthusiasm could backfire in an US election campaign.

Rice: Americans understand that our security is enhanced when the United States is trusted and respected in the world. Unfortunately, our standing in the world has diminished in the last several years. This has hampered our ability to work cooperatively to confront global challenges. Americans are hungry for change both at home and in our relations with the rest of the world. Barack Obama represents a dramatic departure from the policies of the last eight years. There is no downside to Americans seeing the promise of change manifest both domestically and internationally.

SPIEGEL: Many expect Obama to promise "tough love" to the Europeans -- more listening, but also more demands.

Rice: To deal effectively with critical global security challenges will require a greater commitment from both sides of the Atlantic. We cannot afford a least-common-denominator approach. Both America and Europe will have to do more to uphold our respective responsibilities in the context of true partnership -- whether the issue is climate change, halting Iran's nuclear program or securing Afghanistan from Al-Qaida and the Taliban.

SPIEGEL: What would be the major change in trans-Atlantic relations under a President Obama?

Rice: Obama would proceed from a fundamentally different premise than has been the case in recent years. Obama does not perceive Europe in terms of "old" versus "new." He thinks it would be counterproductive to kick Russia out of the G-8. He sees the world as more complex than simply good versus evil. He recognizes that we can only deal effectively with global challenges if we have 21st century partnerships that work -- partnerships based on shared values, common security and mutual respect, in which everybody does their part and pulls their weight.

SPIEGEL: You said Europeans have to "pull their weight." What would that mean exactly in terms of their contribution in Afghanistan? More troops?

Rice: Obama's view is that circumstances in Pakistan and Afghanistan pose the most dangerous threat to Europe and the US right now. Al-Qaida is regrouping and reconstituting their safe haven; the Taliban are gaining strength. Europe is closer to that threat than we are. Yet, we all have to take it very seriously. The US has to put more resources and troops into Afghanistan, and NATO should do the same, while -- to the greatest extent possible -- lifting operational restrictions.

SPIEGEL: Would that lead to disillusionment with Obama in Europe?

Rice: We must be honest in acknowledging that neither Germany nor the US has the luxury of assuming that we can skate by on half-measures in Afghanistan and Pakistan and not risk suffering the consequences.

Wild Thing's comment........

I would love to see McCain air an ad with Obama's stuff like in this article and with Carly Simon’s “You’re So Vain” playing in the background.

Only a total ignoramus could imagine that he doesn’t need to bow to anyone — on any subject.

There’s always somebody who understands something you don’t.

Susan Rice’s comment that Obama “bows to nobody in understanding this world” parallels Michelle Obama’s claim a few months ago that “Barrack has seen everything.” How can a guy who has never run a business, never been impacted by marginal taxation, never seen combat, and never passed any meaningful legislation acquire such omniscience????!

The phrase "bows to nobody in understanding this world." is truly a frightening statement. This is not a political campaign...it's a cult rally.

Has anyone heard of any other person that has written TWO books - about themselves? And before he did much in his life?

Amazing he could fill up two volumes considering how little he has accomplished.

Obama: Expects To Be Dealing With Foreign Leaders " over the next 10 years" ????

Face the Nation - Interviews Obama In Afghanistan 20 July 2008

Barack Obama's Butterfly Effect

http://www.denverconvention2008.com/index.cfm?page=sponsorlist

CBS's Face the Nation, Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill., in Afghanistan, told the paparazzi-pursued correspondent Lara Logan that

"the objective of this trip was to have substantive discussions with people like President Karzai or Prime Minister Maliki or President Sarkozy or others who I expect to be dealing with over the next eight to 10 years."
"And it's important for me to have a relationship with them early, that I start listening to them now, getting a sense of what their interests and concerns are."

The notion that Obama will be dealing with world leaders for eighjt-to-ten years, possibly up through July 2018, suggests that either (a) he believes that not only will he be elected and re-elected, but the 22nd amendment will be repealed and he will be elected for a third term, OR (b) he was speaking casually and just meant two terms.

(I'm guessing b.)

There is a term in chaos theory describing the how infinitesmal variations of the initial condition of a dynamical system may produce large variations in the long term behavior of the system.

Most of us are more familiar with the more common name for it: the butterfly effect.

The butterfly effect was introduced in Ray Bradbury's 1952 short story "A Sound of Thunder," when time travelers change the world beyond measure by accidentally killing a butterfly in prehistoric times.

Similarly, international diplomacy can be impacted by careless or glibly-chosen words. (Cue President Bush's "crusade" remarks.)

Some Democratic allies of Obama's are -- off the record -- concerned that the senator too often doesn't consider the potential butterfly effect of his diction.

Take his support for an "undivided Jerusalem," or his remarks about women seeking abortions when they're "feeling blue," which upset feminist leaders.

Or the media kerfuffle after his "refine my policies" presser.

On his press plane on July 5, after that incident, Obama said, "I’m surprised at how finely calibrated every single word was measured."

A reporter noted that that is precisely what happens with the president, he can change world affairs with one word, finely calibrating your words is what happens.

"Well, of course, no, I understand," Obama said. "But for me to say that I’m going to refine my policies, you know, I don’t think in anyway is inconsistent with prior statements and doesn’t change my strategic view that this war has to end and that I am going to end it as president."

Wild Thing's comment........

Say what? 10 years? LOL oh sure and that is President of 57 States I presume? Lord, have mercy!! What a bozo! This guy shouldn’t even be running for dog catcher never mind the most powerful office on the planet.

I would not pick (b) as the reason as it states above, I would say one of the reasons Obama makes as many mistakes like this is his stupidity. He may have become a lawyer but who took the tests for him at school. LOL

Hmmmmm it must be the Obama Communist plan.......Two “Five Year Plans” for the Communistas.

Words mean something and Obama needs to learn this if he wants to be President. Not only do words have tremendous meaning but so does the emphasis of them.

Bag To Be Given Out At DNC Convention ~ No Not Michelle

This is the welcome bag that every delegate and member of the media will receive upon arrival at the Democratic National Convention next month in Denver.

Big Corporation bag given out at the DNC convention (to be filled with goodies)

Salon.com

The financier and lobbyist Steve Farber, the Chief Fundraiser for the Democratic National Convention:

Mr. Farber's vast contact list could prove crucial in raising the millions of dollars needed by the Denver host committee to showcase Senator Barack Obama and the Democratic Party in August in Denver.

"Steve Farber is involved with a lot of high-level candidates and ones who have won," said Floyd Ciruli, head of Ciruli Associates, a Denver political consulting firm. "He's famous for hiring ex-politicians, their children and ex-judges. He's very good at making connections with people who have access to politicians" . . . .

As a result of Mr. Farber's efforts, dozens of organizations have signed up as corporate sponsors of the Denver convention, including six that are lobbying clients of his firm:

United Health Group, AT&T, Comcast, the National Association of Home Builders, Western Union and Google.

In return for these donations, which can go up to $1 million or more, sponsors are promised prominent display space for corporate marketing and access to elected officials and Democratic leaders at a large number of parties and receptions.

"Farber has a dual role," said Steve Weissman, a policy analyst at the Campaign Finance Institute who has studied convention finances. "He is a businessman and a community activist, and yet he is connected to a law firm that is one of the biggest in Washington. When any of Steve Farber's clients have a problem, federal elected officials will feel obligated to listen to him if he approaches them later on federal policy interests."

Although he is a Democrat, Mr. Farber's firm draws political talent from both sides of the aisle. Its lobbyists include Jim Nicholson, a former chairman of the Republican National Committee; former Senator Hank Brown, Republican of Colorado; and Judy Black, wife of Charlie Black, Senator John McCain's chief adviser, and a major bundler of donations for Mr. McCain.

But then there's this: "In raising money for the convention, Mr. Farber said he was not selling access to the many politicians attending the event, but promoting regional pride and the chance to participate in a historical event." Everyone can decide for themselves which scenario they find more plausible.

Wild Thing's comment........

The rest of the article says it is made from recycled material from Coca-Cola. YUK, look what they did with the American Flag, they turned it into an Obama Nation flag and it is grotesque!

LOL Funny how big business supports the DNC when the Democrats hate big business and the rich. What phonies they are.

Obama: Redeploy troops to Afghanistan from Iraq

Barack Obama: Redeploy troops to Afghanistan from Iraq (For "Over the Next Eight to Ten Years")

telegraph.co.uk ....for ocomplete article

Senator Barack Obama has demanded plans be drawn up immediately for US troops to be redeployed from Iraq to Afghanistan.

Visiting Kabul on the first stop of his first major overseas trip since winning the Democratic Party's presidential nomination, Mr Obama described conditions in Afghanistan as "precarious and urgent".

"I think the situation is getting urgent enough that we have to start doing something now," he told CBS television. "We can't wait for a new administration otherwise it will be a year before new troops arrive."

Mr Obama, who is also due to visit Iraq during his eight-day tour, sought to seize the initiative on foreign policy from his Republican rival Senator John McCain, a Vetnam War veteran. Mr Obama met American troops and held talks with President Hamid Karzai, key elements of his trip to two war zones that is intended to convince doubters at home that despite his inexperience he is a plausible future commander-in-chief.

-snip-

Mr Obama has placed defeating the Taliban and al-Qaeda at the centre of his foreign policy. But in an unfortunate reminder of the worsening violence in Afghanistan, Nato admitted yesterday that its forces accidentally killed at least four civilians in the country's east, while coalition troops mistakenly called in air strikes against Afghan police, killing nine.

Mr Obama did little to disappoint critics who accuse him of arrogance. He said the objective of the trip was to "hold substantive discussions" with national leaders "who I expect to be dealing with over the next eight to ten years".

He added: "It's important for me to have a relationship with them early."

After Afghanistan and Iraq, Mr Obama will visit Jordan, Israel, Germany, France and finally Britain in a grand tour that is attracting unprecedented scrutiny for

Wild Thing's comment........

Hey, . Hussein O...... you're still just a "presumptive" nominee -- and getting less "presumptive" every day, it seems.

“It is important TO ME that I get to know them early”

Do they feel the same urgency in getting to know him?

Look at this...MCCain already made a statement about Afghanistan and Obama went on the attack.

http://www.johnmccain.com/downloads/weeklyradio_071908.mp3

Although the situation in Iraq is much improved, the war in Afghanistan has taken a bad turn that must be quickly reversed. Security in that country has deteriorated, and our enemies are on the offensive. And it is precisely the success of the surge in Iraq that shows us the way to victory over the Taliban.

Our commanders on the ground in Afghanistan say they need at least three additional brigades. I will ensure our commanders in Afghanistan get the troops they need by asking NATO to send more and by sending U.S. troops as they become available.

But sending more forces, by itself, is not enough to prevail. What we need in Afghanistan is exactly what General David Petraeus brought to Iraq: a nationwide civil-military campaign plan that is focused on providing security for the population. Today no such integrated plan exists. When I am commander-in-chief, it will.

There are many differences between Afghanistan and Iraq, which any plan must account for. But, as in Iraq, the center of gravity is the security of the population. The good news is that our soldiers in Afghanistan have begun to apply the lessons of Iraq -- especially in the east, where our forces are concentrated. These efforts, however, are too piecemeal. They are the work of innovative local commanders, rather than a strategy for the entire country. In particular, American forces must re-engage deeper in southern Afghanistan, the Taliban stronghold.

A cardinal rule in any military operation is unity of command, and this has been lacking in our Afghan campaign. Today, there are three different American military combatant commands operating in Afghanistan, as well as NATO. And some of their members operate under national restrictions as to where their troops can go and what they can do. This is not a smart military practice, and it is not how wars are won. As commander-in-chief, I will work with our allies to ensure unity of command. Moreover, with help from other nations, we must double the size of Afghanistan's own fighting forces to 160,000 troops -- so that battle-tested Afghan soldiers can safeguard their own people.

A successful counterinsurgency requires all instruments of our national power, and that military and civilian leaders work together, at all levels, under a joint plan. Too often in Afghanistan this is not happening. So I will appoint a highly-respected national security leader, based in the White House and reporting directly to the president, whose sole mission will be to assure victory in Afghanistan.

A special focus of our regional strategy must be Pakistan, where terrorists are known to hide. One way to root them out is to strengthen local tribes in the border areas that are willing to fight them. Senator Obama has spoken in public about taking unilateral military action in Pakistan. But in trying to sound tough, he has only made it harder to enlist the full support of Pakistan in the fight against terrorists.

In a time of war, the commander-in-chief's job doesn't get a learning curve. And if I have that privilege, I will bring to the job many years of military and political experience. It was this experience that guided me in the conviction that the surge in Iraq could turn things around, and clear a path to victory. And I believe with equal conviction that we can prevail in Afghanistan, assuring freedom to the Afghan people and greater security to the American people.

Thanks for listening.---John McCain

Obama 1st Lag of Trip To Afghanistan and Visit With U.S. Troops in Kuwait

Obama in Afghanistan

Source:
Politico

The campaign announced early Saturday morning that Obama was on the ground in Kabul, Afghanistan. The U.S. military later said Obama was greeting U.S. troops at Jalalabad airfield in eastern Afghanistan.

Obama made a secret stop in Kuwait and visited U.S. service members, then flew on to Kabul.

Obama and his party also met with troops and military brass at the huge Bagram Air Base, according to reporters on the ground.

A blogger briefly posted word Friday that Obama was in Kuwait, but the campaign refused to confirm it and the post was removed. The campaign had not given the dates of the trip, insisting that the press refer to it as “upcoming.”

Robert Gibbs, the campaign’s senior strategist for communications and message, announced the beginning of the trip with a 3:24 a.m. e-mail to reporters:

“At approximately 3:15 AM Eastern/2:15 AM Central, I received a phone call telling me that Sen. Obama had landed at the airport in Kabul, Afghanistan. Since leaving Washington on Thursday, Sen. Obama had stopped and visited troops in Kuwait.”

Scenes include him greeting the troops, playing basketball with the troops, shaking hands and signing autographs.

Obama Opens a Foreign Tour in Afghanistan

New York Times ...for entire article

The governor of Nangarhar Province, Gul Agha Shirzai, a former mujahedeen commander who has a brutal past but is favored by the United States as a doer, was the only Afghan official to meet the senators, along with the United States ambassador and generals.

Mr. Shirzai, who is thought to have his own aspirations in Afghan presidential elections next year, has been praised for his tough action against poppy cultivation and official corruption in his province.

“Barack Obama thanked the officials of Nangarhar and the people of Nangarhar for eliminating poppy cultivation, fighting corruption, and he promised that the United States would give more help to Afghanistan and especially to Nangarhar,” he said by telephone after the one hour meeting.

The senators flew back to Bagram air base, north of Kabul, at 5 p.m., the governor said.

from Wild Thing: So the first Afghan official Obama meets is one who has aspirations to replace Karzai....how interesting.

Soldiers Overjoyed To Meet Obama In Kuwait
Obama Makes Stop On Way To Afghanistan In Whirlwind Tour Of Middle East, Europe

cbs Chicago

A group soldiers serving overseas, including some from the Chicago area, were overjoyed Saturday when presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Barack Obama visited in Kuwait.

As CBS 2's Susan Carlson reports, Obama stopped in at Camp Arifjan in Kuwait before making his first trip to Afghanistan. Camp Arifjan is a major gateway for U.S. soldiers moving into and out of Iraq.

The soldiers applauded thunderously when Obama arrived; one of them could barely contain herself as she sported a Chi-town sign.

When the cheers settled down, the first thing Obama said to the soldiers was, "Thank you."

"I am so grateful to all of you," Obama said.

Obama also talked briefly about military strategy.

"In speaking to commanding officers here, what's clear is we've really perfected a lot of systems to move equipment, supplies and obviously troops in and out of Iraq, as well as some of the work that's being done to coordinate our activities in Afghanistan," he said.

Obama also impressed the soldiers with his basketball strategy on the court. He joked to those watching, "You came out here because you wanted to see me get beat by your fellow soldiers."

And he took time to do a lot of hand shaking before moving on to his next stop.

Obama greeted troops in Kuwait before flying to Afghanistan

From an email from one of the soldiers in the land of sand, in Jalalabad.

"B. Hussein Obama has come and gone on his visit to Jalalabad Air Field in eastern Afghanistan. He landed about 1515 local and was gone by 1800, which is more than enough time for any Democrat to check the Natioanl Defense box, and he is now just as qualified as John McCain to speak on all matters related to Operation Enduring Freedom.
During his visit he toured the Task Force (TF) Bayonet 173rd Brigade (Sky Soldiers!) Headquarters and Tactical Operations Center (TOC). I spoke to a few soldiers who shook his hand but privately told me they would never vote for him.
lol It’s not a joke, it just sounds like one...but in all fairness I understand he went to Kabul and Kandahar as well.
God Bless, Captain (Now a Major) "

ROFLMAO....the Obamination has landed!!!! Perhaps if stayed longer he would have been called to the Islamic prayer. Now does that make Obama qualified for combat pay for the July pay period. heh heh

The soldiers applauded thunderously when Obama arrived; one of them could barely contain herself as she sported a Chi-town sign.

Jouranlistic license is an understatement when it comes to this article.

Overjoyed? Ya right. I'm sure everyone who serves is just thrilled. As for Osama doing any "fact" finding on his 'whirlwind tour', the only facts he's going to find is the bathrooms aren't the same as they are in America, because spending three hours in a country doesn't leave much time to doing anything but shake hands, pose for the camera's, and take a dump. there is no "fact finding" going on.

As this garbage story shows, it's nothing but sham, media on a whirlwind Obama promotion tour.

My friend said one of her colleagues, a doctor she works with, told her his daughter was one of 154 troops that were interviewed by the MSM. Only 4 soldiers were against our mission in Iraq. THOSE were on the news report. they never included the other 150 ! She was furious!

Overwhelming black and half are female, strong Obama demographic.This is the truth, but the troops that were mugging him for a handshake and autograph were 95% black, and they were overjoyed, just as much as the 95% black non-military that are voting for him—because he is black. I find that sad that anyone would vote for a person because of their skin color.

The thing is there are some great and experienced black people who would make great candidates - one that we really need to get into the pipeline is LTC Allen West, running for congress in Florida.

The only thing is so many of the blacks would turn on him because he's a republican what they call an "uncle Tom". sheesh!

And get this, oh my gosh! I about gagged when the CBSNews reporterette made a pointed announcement that (my paraphrase)

"Obama is sacrificing valuable time to make this trip when he could be doing more Presidential campaigning back in the USA."

More Concerning Associations Of B.Hussein Obama

Obama had a private meeting with a fellow called Hassan Qazwini in Dearborn, Michigan. The thing to take note of who the man is, ole Qazwini is a bit of an extremist to say the least.

Imam Hassan Qazwini has hosted Louis Farrakhan at his mosque and is close to the Hezbollah Spiritual Leader who issued the fatwa to blow up 300 U.S. Marines and embassy officials in 1983.

http://www.bothwaysbarack.com/

Imam Hassan Qazwini, head of the Islamic Center of America in Dearborn, met privately with Sen. Barack Obama

Imam Hassan Qazwini met privately with Senator Barack Obama this week in Michigan.
The Detroit Free Press reported:

A Muslim leader from Dearborn met privately with Sen. Barack Obama during his Wednesday visit to Michigan.

Imam Hassan Qazwini, head of the Islamic Center of America, said in an email that he met with Obama at Macomb Community College. A mosque spokesman, Eide Alawan, confirmed that the meeting took place. During the meeting, the two discussed the Presidential election, the Arab-Israeli conflict, and the Iraq war, according to Qazwini.

At the end of the meeting, Qazwini said he gave Obama a copy of new book, “American Crescent,” (his book on why Islam is good for America) and invited Obama to visit his center.

The meeting with Obama came about after Qazwini had asked David Bonior, the former U.S. Rep. from Michigan, if he could meet with Obama during his visit. Qazwini was not selected to be part of a group of 20 people who met with Obama, but Qazwini later got a private meeting with Obama, Alawan said.

Keep adding to the list Hussein, you just keep proving to all of us how right we have been about you.

Obama doesn't deserve to put one foot in our White House! Not as President or any other title. He should not be a Senator either.

Obama Drops Plans To Speak At Brandenburg Gate

President Ronald Reagan! Now THIS is why Obama could NOT touch this kind of moment, not even in his dreams.

Obama Drops Plans To Speak At Berlin's Brandenburg Gate

AHN

Obama will not be making his speech in Berlin before the Brandenburg Gate but at Victory Column, German news agency Deutshe Well said on Friday.

Obama will leaving for Europe and the Middle East next week in what pundits say is a bid to bolster his foreign policy and national security credentials. The presumptive Democratic nominee will make the much-awaited speech in Berlin on July 24.

Obama will still have the Brandenburg Gate as backdrop since the iconic site sits at the opposite end of a tree-line boulevard from the Victory Column.

The German newspaper Der Spiegel said last week that the presumptive Democratic nominee was considering speaking in front of the Brandenburg Gate, the site of the famous speech given by former President Ronald Reagan in 1987 that called on former Soviet Union President Mikhail Gorbachev to "tear down this wall."

The report was met with little enthusiasm by German Chancellor Angela Merkel, who said last week during the G8 Summit in Japan that it was up to Obama to find an appropriate location for his speech but that doing so at the historic site would be "a bit odd."

German government spokesman Thomas Steq later on made clear Merkel's stand on the issue by saying, "It is unusual to do electioneering abroad... No German candidate for high office would even think of using the National Mall (in Washington) or Red Square in Moscow for a rally because it would not be seen as appropriate," according to The Age.

Erwin Huber, head of Germany's Christian Social Union (CSU), was also reported by the BBC as saying last week, "Obama didn't do anything for German unification... That's not a criticism, but as a result there is no reason to grant him such a privilege."

Some German officials, such as Foreign Minister Frank-Walter Steinmeier told the Frankfurter Rundschau and Berlin Mayor Klaus Wowereit, welcomed the idea of Obama speaking at the historic site but the strong opposition triggered speculation on the Internet that the White House had pressured the Merkel to deny Obama's plans. The White House has refuted such reports.

Obama will be meeting privately with Merkel in Berlin the same day he makes his speech, according to a German spokesman cited by Time.

Wild Thing's comment........

What a self-absorbed JERK. B.Hussein Obama learned that many in Germany, from Merkel on down, were not impressed with his plan to exploit their historic symbol. Yep - just what we need in a CIC - another example of his abysmal judgment and ignorance of history.

Conservative Group to Air Anti-Obama Ads

Conservative Group to Air Anti-Obama Ads

NYT

The commercial is also already up on the Web site:

An independent conservative group that worked on behalf of President Bush in 2004 is planning to begin broadcasting nationally next week a commercial that attacks Senator Barack Obama as a flip-flopper.
The non-profit advocacy group, Let Freedom Ring, is planning to spend several hundred thousand dollars to broadcast the commercial over several days beginning Tuesday, according to Colin Hanna, president of the organization.

The group has already obtained clearance to broadcast the advertisement on CNN and MSNBC and is seeking approval from several networks to make a national advertising purchase, Mr. Hanna said. But it is unclear how many spots the group could purchase, or how much impact it could have, by going the unorthodox route of a national buy.

The group’s efforts follows on the heels of another television advertising campaign by the group, Vets for Freedom, attacking Mr. Obama. The veterans group’s commercials were the first major outside effort boosting Senator John McCain.

The script reads:

“People are saying that Senator Obama’s recent changes of position have made him a flip-flopper. He’s not! Flip-floppers only hold one position at a time. Senator Obama is different: he holds two positions at the same time. Both ways on banning handguns. Both ways on public campaign financing. And now, both ways on withdrawing from Iraq. He’s ‘Both Ways Barack.’ Worse than a flip-flopper!”

LOL Stop The Presses ~ Obama Whines He Is Infuriated

Obama Blasts Conservative Attacks Against Wife: 'Debate Me Not Her'

http://www.c-span.org/search.aspx?For=Michelle%20Obama

Obama said conservative criticism of his wife, Michelle, infuriates him.

"I don't have a thick skin when it comes to criticism of my wife," Obama told the women's magazine Glamour in an interview to run in the magazine's October issue. "And you know, the problem is that rarely do these folks have the guts to say it to your face."

Obama, who is vying for the support of women voters who flocked to Sen. Hillary Clinton's campaign during the primaries, argued his wife and Clinton have been the target of similar conservative attacks.

"Hillary Clinton was subject to this, others have been subject to this in the past," Obama told Glamour editor -in-chief Cindi Leive Wednesday, "It is part of our political environment that I'd like to change."

Asked whether he blamed Sen. John McCain's campaign for the attacks, Obama said:

"I wouldn't say the McCain campaign itself, but I would say that the apparatus of conservative columnists, blogs and the like.

Wild Thing's comment........

Hey Obama, your wife is a kook. Have a nice day.

Great, we found something that infuriates Obama! Maybe if we can get the Iranians to insult Michelle, Obama will get mad at them too.

He also refuses to campaign at a single military base. His campaign has refused repeated attempts from organizers at Ft. Hood.

Hussein and his wife are both cowards, militiary loathers and sent to us from God knows where, pits of hell maybe, to destroy our country.

You don’t want your wife “attacked”? Then tell her to stop her “I Am A Victim” tour. Have you heard the things she says?

...Thank you Cheryl for this article.

Obama thinks only ONE bomb fell on Pearl Harbor

B.Hussein Obama speaking in West Lafayette, Indiana.

It is right at the beginning of his speech.

“…..Throughout our history, America’s confronted constantly evolving danger, from the oppression of an empire, to the lawlessness of the frontier, from the bomb that fell on Pearl Harbor, to the threat of nuclear annihilation. Americans have adapted to the threats posed by an ever-changing world. “

Not only was he oblivious to history while living smack dab in the middle of it in Hawaii, apparently he’s never seen “From Here To Eternity.”

Pearl Harbor attack scene:

From Here To Eternity - Pearl Harbor Attack scene (1953)

Wild Thing's comment........

“The Bomb”? Just one?

One of my Uncles was stationed there, and if he were still alive he’d have steam coming out his ears. It was more than one bomb moron.

Is Obama confusing Pearl Harbor with Hiroshima. Like he confused Memorial Day with Veterans Day????

II wonder if he ever even visited the Memorial in Pearl Harbor. It is awesome and it stays with a person forever. Just a guess but I would say NO way has he been there. It didn't have any drugs laying around he could take like he wrote about how he used drugs ALOT. And there are no I hate whitie groups there he could join.

If I was Mc Cain I would make ads out of things like that, maybe even have the images flash up on a back screen during debates.

That would be a great ad with Obama’s voice saying this and the multiple bombings in the background.

Then voice could speak the truth about the JAPANESE who dropped these bombs on Pearl Harbor.

McCain ends it with, “I know my history and I approve this message.”

He does not know that there was an attack fleet of 6 Japanese carriers with hundreds of aircraft, and that the bombs and torpedoes expended by the Japanese numbered in the hundreds (well around 240 bombs and 40 or so torpedoes IIRC.

Brilliant. It’s long, and somewhat tedious, but well worth watching in its entirety. Now they just need to produce 1 min. and 2 min. videos of just a few clips as well.

And this is actually sponsored by McCain. I’m shocked. I thought he didn’t believe in criticizing Obama.

Obama's 'Civilian security force' Excised From 'call to service' Transcript

Obama's 'Big Brother' vanishes from speech

'Civilian security force' excised from 'call to service' transcript

http://www.newseum.org/berlinwall/commissar_vanishes/index.htm

The stunning comments from Democrat Sen. Barack Obama that the United States needs a "civilian national security force" that would be as powerful, strong and well-funded as the half-trillion dollar United States Army, Marines, Navy and Air Force have mysteriously disappeared from published transcripts of the speech.

In the comments, Obama confirmed the U.S. "cannot continue to rely on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives we've set."

Campaign officials have declined to return any of a series of WND telephone calls over several days requesting a comment on the situation. Nor have they posted a transcript of the speech on their website.

But transcripts posted at both the Wall Street Journal and Denver Post do not have the critical comment that has raised such concern. Those transcripts of Obama's speech in Colorado Springs July 2 include the following:

Those transcripts of Obama's speech in Colorado Springs July 2 include the following:

"We'll send more college graduates to teach and mentor our young people. We'll call on Americans to join an Energy Corps to conduct renewable energy and environmental cleanup projects in their neighborhoods. We'll enlist veterans to help other vets find jobs and support, and to be there for our military families. And we'll also grow our Foreign Service, open consulates that have been shuttered, and double the size of the Peace Corps by 2011 to renew our diplomacy. "

"And we'll use technology to connect people to service. We'll expand USA Freedom Corps to create an online network where Americans can browse opportunities to volunteer. You'll be able to search by category, time commitment, and skill sets; you'll be able to rate service opportunities, build service networks, and create your own service pages to track your hours and activities. This will empower more Americans to craft their own service agenda, and make their own change from the bottom up."

It was at that point in the speech, at about 16 minutes on a YouTube video, Obama says:

"We cannot continue to rely on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives we've set. We've got to have a civilian national security force that's just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded."

Obama: We Must Surrender in Iraq to Win in Iraq

Barack Obama is still set on surrendering in Iraq- so that we can somehow win in Iraq?????

Critics Blast Obama for Setting Foreign Policy Before Iraq Visit

Barack Obama’s continued call for a troop withdrawal timetable in Iraq has critics complaining that he’s set on that policy before even taking his highly anticipated trip to the Middle East.

The Illinois senator has over the past two days escalated a campaign to minimize Iraq in the context of the overall war on terror.

Obama on Wednesday stressed the need to secure loose nuclear material and draw down nuclear stockpiles around the world. He said if the nation devoted just one month of Iraq combat costs, estimated to be $10 billion, it could virtually wipe out the threat of weapons-grade nuclear material falling into the hands of terrorists.

In what was billed as a major foreign policy address Tuesday, Obama said the Iraq war has become a distraction from fighting terrorism in Afghanistan and pledged to end the war by the summer of 2010.

“He’s going to Iraq but he’s already decided his position,” Sen. Joe Lieberman, told FOX News on Wednesday. “He’s not going to listen to (David) Petraeus. He’s not going to listen to our troops. He’s not going to listen to his own eyes with what he sees there.”

LOL But that is not all this is the craziest thing what he thinks he can get away with writing and re-writing his website like a whim. Yes he sure is Presidential material..... NOT!

Barack Obama purges Web site critique of surge in Iraq

Daily News

Barack Obama's campaign scrubbed his presidential Web site over the weekend to remove criticism of the U.S. troop "surge" in Iraq, the Daily News has learned.

The presumed Democratic nominee replaced his Iraq issue Web page, which had described the surge as a "problem" that had barely reduced violence.

"The surge is not working," Obama's old plan stated, citing a lack of Iraqi political cooperation but crediting Sunni sheiks - not U.S. military muscle - for quelling violence in Anbar Province.

The News reported Sunday that insurgent attacks have fallen to the fewest since March 2004.

Obama's campaign posted a new Iraq plan Sunday night, which cites an "improved security situation" paid for with the blood of U.S. troops since the surge began in February 2007.

It praises G.I.s' "hard work, improved counterinsurgency tactics and enormous sacrifice."

Campaign aide Wendy Morigi said Obama is "not softening his criticism of the surge. We regularly update the Web site to reflect changes in current events."

GOP rival John McCain zinged Obama as a flip-flopper. "The major point here is that Sen. Obama refuses to acknowledge that he was wrong," said McCain, adding that Obama "refuses to acknowledge that it [the surge] is succeeding."

Let's go to the ones that KNOW, that have been there and fought in this war. This is the newest Vets For Freedom ad

Wild Thing's comment.........

LOL I swear this is not only shocking but the extreme of stupidity. He’s way in over his head. He has not a clue! Who in their right mind er a left mind....haha would make any kind of statements like Obama has been doing before they talk to anyone about how it is in Iraq.

Obama's 'civilian national security force'

"We are going to grow our foreign service, open consulates that have been shuttered and double the size of the Peace Corps by 2011 to renew our diplomacy," said Obama. "We cannot to continue to rely only on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives that we have set. We have got to have a civilian national security force that is just as powerful, just as strong, just as well funded."-- Barack Obama July 2, 2008

At this same speech, he promised to withhold funds from school districts that don't make their junior high and high schoolers serve 50 hours a year. 100 hours for college students, provided their type of service is deemed acceptable by a sprawling new Federal bureaucracy.

Oh, and Obama's going to double the size of the Peace Corps while quadrupling AmeriCorps. I'm curious if anyone will be left to fill all the newly vacated private sector jobs.

Then B. Hussein Obama concluded his speech with this gem:

"Loving your country must mean accepting your responsibility to do your part to change it."

Barack Obama: Call to Service in Colorado Springs, CO--July 2nd, 2008

Obama's 'civilian national security force'

McCain: Border security before path to citizenship

Barack Obama's campaign about a statement he made July 2 in Colorado Springs – a statement that blew my mind, one that has had me scratching my head ever since.

In talking about his plans to double the size of the Peace Corps and nearly quadruple the size of AmeriCorps and the size of the nation's military services, he made this rather shocking (and chilling) pledge: "We cannot continue to rely on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives we've set. We've got to have a civilian national security force that's just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded."

What does it mean?

If we're going to create some kind of national police force as big, powerful and well-funded as our combined U.S. military forces, isn't this rather a big deal?

I thought Democrats generally believed the U.S. spent too much on the military. How is it possible their candidate is seeking to create some kind of massive but secret national police force that will be even bigger than the Army, Navy, Marines and Air Force put together?

Now, maybe he was misquoted by the Congressional Quarterly and the Chicago Tribune. I guess it's possible. If so, you would think he would want to set the record straight. Maybe he misspoke. That has certainly happened before. Again, why wouldn't the rest of my colleagues show some curiosity about such a major and, frankly, bone-chilling proposition?

Are we talking about creating a police state here?

The U.S. Army alone has nearly 500,000 troops. That doesn't count reserves or National Guard. In 2007, the U.S. Defense budget was $439 billion.

Is Obama serious about creating some kind of domestic security force bigger and more expensive than that?

If not, why did he say it? What did he mean?

So far, despite our attempts to find out, the Obama campaign is not talking.

At this point all I can do is enlist your help – and the help of every other journalist who still thinks the American people have a right to know the specifics about a presidential candidate's biggest and boldest initiatives before the election. I also want to ask radio talk-show hosts across America to start asking this same question. I have a feeling if others join our quest, we might yet get clarification on this proposal from Obama.

Who will Obama appoint to administer this new "civilian national security force"? Where will the money come from? Where in the Constitution does he see justification for the federal government creating such a domestic army?

The questions are endless.

But before we can hope to get to the specifics, we need much more in the way of generalizations from Obama.

Certainly there have been initiatives like this elsewhere – Cuba, the Soviet Union, China, Venezuela, North Korea. But has anything like this ever been proposed in a free country?

I have a feeling there would be more questions from the press if I myself had proposed the creation of something as preposterous as a "civilian national security force" than there has been about this proposal by the presidential candidate currently leading in most of the polls. I'm quite sure I would be hung out to dry as some kind of Nazi thug. Meanwhile, Obama makes this wild suggestion and it is met with a collective yawn from the watchdogs.

Wild Thing's comment........

OK. Now this guy is really starting to scare the crap out of me. More then before, more then he ever has. OMG, it sounds like Germany in the 1930’s, or Bolshevik Russia.

"We cannot continue to rely on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives we've set. We've got to have a civilian national security force that's just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded."

Lifted straight from Schicklgruber's writings. Anyone who votes for this guy is mad.

Obama's going to create a civilian national security force as strong as the Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines -- combined? With the same budget? And hardware, apparently!!

The SS was an elite military unit.

The Gestapo watched the people.

The Gestapo is what this sounds like to me......Obama's little plan would be more along those lines I am sure. Keep an eye on the people to see no one gets out of line or mutters a bad thought about the "administration". Scary stuff indeed.

Freedom means you building your dream. Your government exists to defend your right to build your dream.

A free country is the sum total of free people each dedicated to building his family and his dream, three hundred million dreams being made real daily. Thats a free country.

A free citizen is not the agent of his government, his government is his agent. Government in a free country is not a king, it is an employee. It guards the gate and takes out the trash.

History tells us what ends such an internal security force will be used for.

Clealy, as an abject marxist and militant anti-American, he will need such a force to counter those bitter, christian, rural folks who are clinging to their guns. Molōn labe!

This nation is going to be thrown into absolute chaos if he becomes President. Obama doesn’t understand the people of this nation. We aren’t going to sell our freedom to some wannabe hippy marxist skipping across the country offering “hope” and “change”.

Now I wonder if THIS is why Obama suddenly supported FISA. It certainly can't be what it is meant for regarding terrorists, Obama may have other plans for it.

....Thank you Mark for this article and information as well.
From Mark:
In 1945 Hitler decided to make a Home Defense force, called the Volkes Sturm, the Home Guard. Many of the boys ages 10 or 12 years old wer recruited to this. Many didn't have a choice, they were ordered to report.

There were given parts of uniforms and some hats and a 'Panzerfaust', like an RPG, anti-tank weapon and these kids and old men were told to go out there and stop Pattons Tanks. Then they were loaded onto trucks and taken out to the front, which in 1945 was not to far away. Many of the children, after the leaders had left they threw down their weapons, uniforms and hats and ran home. These were kids for God sake. Sadly though, many did not throw down their weapons, and stayed and died for Hitler. This was a huge shock for our own troops to confront kids and have to kill them.

Mutiny From Obama Supporters ~ They Want Their Money Back!

source

Thousands are using MyBarackObma.com to angrily organize against him because of a changed position on terrorist wiretap legislation that awaits Senate action as early as Wednesday.

The controversy centers on modifications to the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act and the government's quest to monitor suspected terrorists that civil libertarians worry could infringe on the privacy rights of others. Obama had pledged earlier this year to oppose—even filibuster—legislation that would immunize telecommunications companies against lawsuits that challenge cooperation with federal authorities in warrantless wiretapping.

Now with more than 22,000 members, it is the largest group on MyBarackObama.com:

The online group is flooded with messages of disappointment and disillusionment. Some threaten to ask that their campaign contributions be returned, while others suggest they will simply stay home this fall. One man even said he had removed his Obama bumper sticker from his car. "It's the first and only bumper sticker that I've ever put on a vehicle that I owned, so my disappointment felt personal and significant," he wrote.

Poor thing's they are upset the communist/fascist they wanted is kissing up to the middle to try and get elected and they want him to be hard core. Funny because Obama IS a hardcore fascist and communist in his thinking and what he wants for our country. LOL

'Obama's Chocolate Nuts' Candy Selling Like Hot Cakes

Brought to you by David Feingold aka Fat Jewish Guy...this guy is a riot!!

Because of Jackson's crude comment, candy seller's site getting a lot more hits

Obama’s Chocolate Nuts

Chicago Sun times

The owner of "Obama's Chocolate Nuts" is feeling like "the luckiest person on Earth" in the wake of the Rev. Jesse Jackson's crude remarks about Sen. Barack Obama.

"Who would have thought anybody would use 'Obama' and 'nuts' in an actual news story?'' said David Feingold, a 30-year-old San Diego resident.

His site, Obamaschocolatenuts.com, occupied the top spot on Google Thursday when Web users typed in "Obama" and "nuts." Feingold said traffic on his site more than tripled over the usual count.

Feingold says he started selling packages of nuts, chocolate balls and T-shirts with Obama's name and likeness about a month and a half ago -- an idea sparked by his revulsion over sycophantic supporters of the Illinois senator and presumptive Democratic nominee.

(The nuts connection is related to vulgar slang that Feingold defines as "liking someone too much.")

Nothing against Obama, said Feingold, but "I think anytime somebody follows somebody blindly, it's not a good thing.''

"Nobody knows anything about this guy; everybody claims they do," he said.

Feingold says he's sold 650 bags of nuts and candy so far, led by the three-bag, $8.99 sampler pack. An equal opportunity offender, Feingold was peddling "McCain's dried papaya stick" --advertised on his racy Web site by a hungry girl in a bikini -- until the wholesale price got too high, he said.

Keying on Jackson's threat to castrate Obama for "talking down to black people,'' Feingold is planning his next stunt: "We're going to send Jesse Jackson his 'Obama's Nuts' so he doesn't have to be violent about it."

....Thank you Les, haha for sending this story to me.

Obama's Promises To The Illegals

Obama promises amnesty for illegal immigrants

Kansas city.com

Democrat presidential nominee Barack Obama today speaking to the National Council of La Raza in San Diego promised amnesty for the more than 12 million illegal immigrants that are living in the United States.

Here’s a bit of what Obama had to say:

“Yes, they broke the law. And we should not excuse that. We should require them to pay a fine, learn English, and go to the back of the line for citizenship - behind those who came here legally. But we cannot - and should not - deport 12 million people. ”
Obama went on to say: “That's why we need to offer those who are willing to make amends a pathway to citizenship. That way, we can reconcile our values as both a nation of immigrants and a nation of laws.”

Wild Thing's comment........

That's amnesty any way you look at it. How does "a nation of laws" ignore the fact that 12 million people broke the law of the land by granting them amnesty?

No secure border. Obama giving it all away. His list of promises is getting so long, I can’t imagine that some people aren’t starting to see what a grand BS artist he is.

Note he doesn't say secure the border first. McCain during his campaign promises has said he would secure the border first, so far that is the only difference on this between the two of them.

“But disappointing some at the Latino civil rights gathering, he said he stuck to his position that he only would consider a path to citizenship for illegal residents after he can prove to Americans that the border is secure.”

Except that McCain's version of a secured border is having border Governors certify that the border is secure. There is no commitment on McCain's part to seal the border with a fence.

But also I don't trust promises from these two politicians so ....well what can I say.

New Yorker Cover Depicting The Obama's

Obama Camp Hammers New 'Ironic' New Yorker Cover Depicting Conspiracists' Nightmare of Real Obamas

The sophisticates at The New Yorker have come up with a cover that is sure to get the magazine a lot of attention. Negative attention. From their friends.

An illustration by Barry Blitt depicts Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill., and his wife Michelle in the Oval Office, revealing their "true" selves: Michelle is in full revolutionary garb, an enormous afro making her look like a millennial Angela Davis, holding an automatic weapon and wearing military pants.

In the cartoon Michelle is giving dap, or fist-bumping, with her husband who is wearing a turban and is dressed in garb perhaps more appropriate for a madrassa in Lahore than the Oval Office.

A painting of Osama bin Laden hangs above the fireplace, where the American flag is being burned.

ABC News' Sunlen Miller reports that when he was asked about the controversial cover during a press avail today, Obama shrugged and then said, "I have no response to that."

His campaign had a response later in the day on Sunday.

Said Obama spox Bill Burton: "The New Yorker may think, as one of their staff explained to us, that their cover is a satirical lampoon of the caricature Senator Obama's right-wing critics have tried to create. But most readers will see it as tasteless and offensive. And we agree."

Knowing the liberal politics of the magazine, I believe the magazine's staff when they say the illustration is meant ironically, as a parody of the caricature some conservatives (and some supporters of Sen. Hillary Clinton, D-N.Y.) are painting of the Obamas.

But it's still fairly incendiary, at least as these things go. I wonder what the reaction would be were it the Weekly Standard or the National Review putting such an illustration on their covers.

Intent factors into these matters, of course, but no Upper East Side liberal -- no matter how superior they feel their intellect is -- should assume that just because they're mocking such ridiculousness, the illustration won't feed into the same beast in emails and other media. It's a recruitment poster for the right-wing.

"This is as offensive a caricature as any magazine could publish," says a high-profile Obama supporter, "and I suspect that other Obama supporters like me are also thinking about not subscribing to or buying a magazine that trafficks in such trash."

Wild Thing's comment........

B. Hussein Obama to his wife Michelle...."Allah Akbar, sweetie."

Guest list for the Obama White House Dinners ...Rev. Wright, Rev. Farakahn, Amanutjob from Iran, Kadafhi, Hugo Chavez, and Cindy Sheehan.

The Obama campaign calls it tasteless and offensive because it hits too close to home...even if it is most probably a false flag operation from a liberal trying to generate sympathy for him as a victim.

Fact is, Obama has strong ties to Islam in his youth, and has indicated in his own books that if the winds of public opinion blow against the Muslims in this nation that he will stand with them.

He, to this day, can recite the Islamic call to prayer in fluent Arabic and calls the sound one of the most beautiful sounds on earth at sunset.

His troubles in this regard are of his own making and are a part of his makeup that he would like us to believe he is distancing himself from...but the problem is, he can't. They are who he is and the fact that he resorts to out and out lying about them, and getting so all fired worked up over such satire simply makes it all the worse for him.

As a result of his own willful close relationships of long standing with militant anti-Americans and his positions on the issues throughout his political career in the IL Senate and the US Senate, he is marked, and justafiably so as a militant anti-American himself and an abject marxist.

He may try to pass himself off as something quite different (and he and his campaign are straining at knats to do just that), but that is who he is.

1. “We did all this WITHOUT my birth certificate!”

2. “Wow, baby, they can’t believe the Change in us now, can they?”

3. “ Hah. And they said community organizing was a dead end job!”

4. “ No,no, no! Not “Dreams of My Father”-—it’s “Screams of the Founding Fathers”!

5. “ Baby, let’s get you some $ 600 earrings to celebrate!”

6. “ Let’s light a fire, and invite Bill Ayers over!”

7. “ Although I’m not fit, I made it, you must admit.”

8. “ Jihad at 1600.”

9. “ Baby, they are not going to believe our costumes for the Inaugaral Ball!”

10. “ I’ve flip-flopped so much, I wear them all the time now!”

B.Hussein Obama Won’t Commit to Event at Military Base

Obama Refusing to Meet McCain for Foreign Policy Town Hall Meeting Before Military Audience

Obama is refusing to meet John McCain for a debate on Foreign Policy before a Town Hall Meeting audience composed of veterans, military service members, and military families from the Fort Hood, Texas military base.

A coalition of military groups is planning a nationally televised town-hall-style meeting with the presidential candidates near Fort Hood, Tex., the largest active-duty military installation in the country. But so far, only Senator John McCain of Arizona, the presumptive Republican nominee, has agreed to attend.

CBS has agreed to broadcast the meeting live from 9 to 11 p.m. Eastern time on Monday, Aug. 11. The candidates would face questions directly from an audience of 6,000 people, made up of veterans, service members and military families from the base.

Senator Barack Obama of Illinois, the presumptive Democratic nominee, has not agreed to participate.

“Senator Obama strongly supports America’s veterans and military families and has worked hard on their behalf in the Senate,” said Phillip Carter, director of Mr. Obama’s veterans effort and an Iraq war veteran. “While we unfortunately had a previously scheduled commitment on the date proposed, Senator Obama looks forward to continuing the dialogue he’s been having throughout the country with veterans on how we can better serve our men and women in uniform as they serve us.”

Carissa Picard, managing director of the Fort Hood Presidential Town Hall Consortium, said she had suggested Aug. 11 and asked the campaign to suggest other dates if that was not convenient, but after several conversations she had not been able to work anything out.

“I’m having extreme difficulty getting the Obama campaign to commit to this event, and we do not understand why,” said Ms. Picard, whose husband is deployed in Iraq. “We made it very clear to them that if they would commit to the event, we would work with them on dates.”

“This was a decision that was made with tremendous difficulty, to publicize it,” Ms. Picard said. “We were at a point where we had no other option. We got the impression that they could talk us to November.”

The meeting would be at the Expo Center in Belton, Tex., about 25 miles from Fort Hood.

McCain and Obama are asking to be the next commander in chief,” Ms. Picard said. “What’s a more compelling audience than this, the people that you have asked to maintain our security? It would be tremendous for the morale of this community.”

Organizers include American Veterans, Disabled American Veterans, Military Order of the Purple Heart, Veterans for Common Sense and Military Spouse Corporate Career Network.

Obama: "Anywhere, Anytime" to Debate McCain on Foreign Policy ...this was said in May 2008

Wild Thing's comment........

If Obama wants to be Commander-in-Chief, he ought to be willing to stand before the men and women he wants to lead and answer their questions and hear their views.

Obama and his campaign won't even suggest a date that is not in conflict with their schedule, according to organizers.

This is the same Barack Obama who arrogantly said he would meet John McCain "anytime, anywhere" to debate Foreign Policy.

B.Hussein Obama is a walking, talking national defense and foreign affairs disaster, not to mention numerous other disasters.

I don't care who the person is, but NO ONE SNUBS our awesome military and gets a free pass from me. No way!
If Obama was a REAL man he would not do something like this.

Backlash: 2 Million Angry Democrats Reject Obama

Backlash: 2 million angry Democrats reject Obama?

More than two million angry Democrats are rejecting Sen. Barack Obama as the likely Democratic nominee for the presidency this year, according to a new protest organization.

"I hate to use this word but it's fascist, and that's the approach they're taking to silence any Hillary Clinton supporters," Will Bower, co-founder of PUMA/Just Say No Deal, an exploding coalition of voters who say they have raised $10 million in just days to pay down Clinton's campaign debt.

"Barack Obama wants to give his acceptance speech in a stadium because he intends to minimize any pro-Hillary supporter dissent. It's not because he wants to include more people. He knows that if they pull any shenanigans at convention, the Hillary delegates will walk out, and they don't want that to be seen or heard. They're bringing as many Obama supporters as they can to fill that stadium. It's fascism," he said.

The voters who still are supporting Clinton are doing everything they can to make sure that doesn't happen, raising an estimated $10 million since Independence Day to retire her debt.

Nearly 18 million people voted for Hillary Clinton in the 2008 presidential primaries and many of them believe their candidate was cheated out of being the Democratic nominee for president.

Now more than two million, based on donation and other records, are determined to protest the nominating process and push for an open convention in Denver this August.

"The seeds of discontent for the birth of the PUMA/Just Say No Deal movement were planted during Barack's poor performances at the debates, the media assault on Clinton after Iowa, Obama's arrogance on the campaign trail, and the DNC's selective application of its own rules," Bower explained.

"We said we are not falling in line just because Obama and (David) Axelrod and the DNC were saying 'All right, this is over, let's all get behind Barack Obama.' There are plenty of us out here saying, 'No this is not over. You have treated us very unfairly and in fact, anti-democratically,'" he said.

Michelle Obama Says " Spend $600 stimulus check on earrings"

Michelle Obama: Spend $600 stimulus check on earrings

Barack Obama's wife quipped that the $600 tax stimulus check could be used for a pair of earrings.

Mrs. Obama said in Pontiac, Michigan, Wednesday that if her husband is elected he will offer more than a "quick fix" on the economy.

"You're getting $600 - what can you do with that? Not to be ungrateful or anything, but maybe it pays down a bill, but it doesn't pay down every bill every month," she said. "The short-term quick fix kinda stuff sounds good, and it may even feel good that first month when you get that check, and then you go out and you buy a pair of earrings."

Wild Thing's comment........

OMG! Earrings for the Queen racist?

C'mon Michelle $600 bucks could buy two Rosetta language learning programs and a person could become trilingual. Now wouldn't that make you proud. You dolt.

You're getting $600 - what can you do with that? Not to be ungrateful or anything, but maybe it pays down a bill, but it doesn't pay down every bill every month," she said.

Now this is truly frightening: Michelle wants the government to "pay down every bill every month." Pure socialism, as enunciated by the angry "never been proud of America" Michelle.

Obama Under Fire Over Afghan 'Insult' and Then Obama throws bin Laden Under His Bus!

Obama Under Fire Over Afghan 'Insult'

news.com

White House hopeful Barack Obama has said the Afghan government of President Hamid Karzai has not "gotten out of the bunker" to rebuild the war-torn country.

Senator Obama's comments, ahead of an expected visit to Afghanistan in the coming weeks, drew immediate fire from Republicans, who accused him of insulting a key US "war on terror" ally.

Senator Obama also said in an interview with CNN, to be broadcast in full this weekend, that the Bush administration had allowed al-Qaeda and the Taliban to regroup, by diverting vital US forces to the war in Iraq.

"I think the Karzai government has not gotten out of the bunker and helped to organise Afghanistan and (the) government, the judiciary, police forces, in ways that would give people confidence," he said.

"So there are a lot of problems there.

"A big chunk of the issue is that we allowed the Taliban and al-Qaeda to regenerate itself when we had them on the ropes.

"That was a big mistake and it's one I'm going to correct when I'm president."

Senator Obama's Republican foes accused him of ignoring multiple assassination attempts against Karzai, and of offending a vital US ally.

"Barack Obama had no interest in Afghanistan until he started running for president," said Republican National Committee spokesman Alex Conant.

"Obama has never visited Afghanistan to meet our allies on the ground, yet he is audacious enough to assert that President Karzai has not gotten 'out of the bunker'.

"Obama's words are naively out-of-touch with reality and offensive to America's allies."

And then there is this:

Obama wants Bin Laden executed

Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama said in interview excerpts released Friday that Al-Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden should be executed, if he is ever captured alive.

The Illinois Senator told CNN that the accused mastermind of the September 11 attacks in 2001 should face the full weight of US and global justice.

"I am not a cheerleader for the death penalty," Obama said.

"I think it has to be reserved for only the most heinous crimes, but I certainly think plotting and engineering the death of 3,000 Americans justifies such an approach."

"I think this is a big hypothetical, though -- let's catch him first," he said.

Wild Thing's comment.......

In the first article, Obama had better keep his mouth shut. If he keeps this up he is going to put our troops in more danger then they are already.

And the second article about Osama bin laden, this is the latest and most unexpected flip-flop, Obama throws bin Laden under his bus! He said before that Bin Laden should be tried as a criminal !! ....It’s not the Bin Laden I knew..

5 weeks ago he said we should “not make a martyr of Bin Laden” !!! No wonder his Rasmussen numbers are collapsing. The man is a gaffe machine!

The actual presidential contest may be: Will Obama or McCain have the bigger bus with the most 'friends' thrown under it. Biggest bus with the largest count wins????

He is against the death penalty and now he is not? Give me a break. We have all wanted Osama bin laden caputred and killed from day one. B,. Hussein Obama is a phony.

The only difference between oBama and oSama is two letters...BS.

An airport has been accused of political correctness after advertising for a new air traffic controller in Braille.
Although '20/20 vision' is a requirement of the position at St Mary's airport on the Isles of Scilly, the application form is offered in both Braille and audio format.

But the operators of the airport say they are merely adhering to equal opportunity guidelines to avoid accusations of discrimination, reports the Daily Telegraph.

German Chancellor Merkel Uneasy Over Obama Speech At Brandenburg Gate

German Chancellor Angela Merkel uneasy over Obama Brandenburg Gate address

ACLU Announces Legal Challenge To Follow President’s Signature

German Chancellor Angela Merkel has signaled unease over the prospect of a possible speech by Democratic presidential hopeful Barack Obama at Berlin's historic Brandenburg Gate, a spokesman said Wednesday.

Merkel has "only limited understanding for using the Brandenburg Gate as an election campaign backdrop, as it were, and has expressed skepticism about pursuing such plans," Thomas Steg, a spokesman for the chancellor, told reporters.

However, Steg stressed that the chancellor is "very happy" for Obama to visit Germany and meet her and Foreign Minister Frank-Walter Steinmeier.

Berlin city officials said this week that members of the Democratic candidate's campaign had contacted them about what permission and security issues would need to be resolved before Obama could speak in front of the monument.

The Obama campaign has refused to provide specifics on his plans during an upcoming visit to Europe and the Middle East, including the candidate's interest in a possible event at the Brandenburg Gate.

"Senator Obama looks forward to his visit to Germany and his opportunity to meet with the chancellor," Obama spokesman Bill Burton said. "He has considered several sites for a possible speech, and he will choose one that makes most sense for him and his German hosts."

The gate stood for 28 years behind the Berlin Wall in communist East Germany's heavily fortified border zone. Probably the capital's best-known monument, it was once a symbol of Germany's Cold War division and now stands for its reunification.

Steg noted that the Brandenburg Gate has become "a place with a particular exclusivity, intensity and symbolism" in view of past speeches by sitting U.S. presidents and events such as a large rally in solidarity with the United States after the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks.

As a result, he said Merkel has voiced "great skepticism as to whether it is appropriate to bring an election campaign being fought not in Germany but in the United States to the Brandenburg Gate."

Steg said that "no German (chancellor) candidate would think of using (Washington's) National Mall or Red Square in Moscow for rallies, because it would be considered inappropriate."

He stressed that giving permission to use the venue is a matter not for Merkel's government, but for Berlin city authorities. Berlin Mayor Klaus Wowereit said Tuesday that he would be "delighted" for Obama to appear at the Brandenburg Gate or elsewhere.

In a famous 1987 speech that used the gate as a backdrop, President Reagan urged Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev to "open this gate" and "tear down this wall."

In 1994, four years after German reunification, President Clinton spoke on the other, formerly eastern, side of the gate — declaring that "Berlin is free."

Organizers of Obama's campaign have said he is planning two foreign trips this summer, including stops in the Middle East and major European capitals, in an effort to boost his foreign policy credentials as he prepares for the November election against Republican John McCain.

Foreign Ministry spokesman Jens Ploetner said there had been contacts with the German Embassy in Washington regarding Obama's trip. He said that, while German officials suggested that he could visit landmarks such as Berlin's Holocaust Memorial, the Cold War-era Checkpoint Charlie border crossing and the Brandenburg Gate, they had made no recommendations on any venue for a possible Obama speech.

Wild Thing's comment.......

Can you imagine a candidate from Germany or France or any nation to set up shop on the capitol mall for a political rally?

Obama is pathologically arrogant!! He’s delusional, arrogant and ignorant. A very dangerous mix for the position he craves and thinks he deserves. This guy scares me.

....Thank you Cheryl for the article.

Change Agent Obama on FISA

Senate Approves Bill to Broaden Wiretap Powers

NY Times

WASHINGTON

The Senate gave final approval on Wednesday to a major expansion of the government’s surveillance powers, handing President Bush one more victory in a series of hard-fought clashes with Democrats over national security issues.

The measure, approved by a vote of 69 to 28, is the biggest revamping of federal surveillance law in 30 years. It includes a divisive element that Mr. Bush had deemed essential: legal immunity for the phone companies that cooperated in the National Security Agency wiretapping program he approved after the Sept. 11 attacks.

The vote came two and a half years after public disclosure of the wiretapping program set off a fierce national debate over the balance between protecting the country from another terrorist strike and ensuring civil liberties. The final outcome in Congress, which opponents of the surveillance measure had conceded for weeks, seemed almost anticlimactic in contrast.

Mr. Bush, appearing in the Rose Garden just after his return from Japan, called the vote “long overdue.” He promised to sign the measure into law quickly, saying it was critical to national security and showed that “even in an election year, we can come together and get important pieces of legislation passed.”

The issue put Senator Barack Obama, the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee, in a particularly precarious spot. He had long opposed giving legal immunity to the phone companies that took part in the N.S.A.’s wiretapping program, even threatening a filibuster during his run for the nomination. But on Wednesday, he ended up voting for what he called “an improved but imperfect bill” after backing a failed attempt earlier in the day to strip the immunity provision from the bill through an amendment.

Mr. Obama’s decision last month to reverse course angered some ardent supporters, who organized an Internet drive to influence his vote. And his position came to symbolize the continuing difficulties that Democrats have faced in striking a position on national security issues even against a weakened president. Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton, Democrat of New York, who had battled Mr. Obama for the nomination, voted against the bill.

Senator John McCain, the likely Republican presidential nominee, was campaigning in Ohio and did not vote, though he has consistently supported the immunity plan.

The ACLU oh how wonderful they are....NOT. They are going to sue about this.

"With one vote, Congress has strengthened the executive branch, weakened the judiciary and rendered itself irrelevant,” said Caroline Fredrickson, Director of the ACLU Washington Legislative Office. “This bill – soon to be law – is a constitutional nightmare. Americans should know that if this legislation is enacted and upheld, what they say on international phone calls or emails is no longer private. The government can listen in without having a specific reason to do so. Our rights as Americans have been curtailed and our privacy can no longer be assumed.”
In advance of the president’s signature, the ACLU announced its plan to challenge the new law in court.

“This fight is not over. We intend to challenge this bill as soon as President Bush signs it into law,” said Jameel Jaffer, Director of the ACLU National Security Project. “The bill allows the warrantless and dragnet surveillance of Americans’ international telephone and email communications. It plainly violates the Fourth Amendment.”

Wild Thing's comment........

LOL I love this and notice the look on McCain's face at the end of the video.

Hear that popping noise??? it’s the exploding heads of the lunatic liberals as they get steamed which is causing the air between their ears to heat at an uncontrollable rate.

Michelle Obama Showing Envy

Michelle Obama sarcastically slams Angelina Jolie as "real important people" with a sideways snear in this video. Angelina Jolie is mostly a left-wing celebrity, but she has done a lot for people as the UN Goodwill Ambassador. In my opinion she's done more for others than this America-hating super-important potential First Lady!

Here is the video CLICK HERE. It is right after it starts.

And also this:
From EW June '08:

ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: Clint Eastwood is one of our most famous Republicans. Did you talk politics with him on the set?

ANGELINA JOLIE: Actually, we don't disagree as much as you'd think. I think people assume I'm a Democrat. But I'm registered Independent and I'm still undecided. So I'm looking at McCain as well as Obama. Clint can teach me about things domestically and I'm more aware of some things internationally. So it was less a debate and more things we found interesting. But for the first few weeks I was just too nervous to get into any deep conversation!

Jolie learned to fly a plane

Jolie with General Petraeus

Wild Thing's comment........

Michelle Obama is full of hate, and full of herself.

Angelina may be a liberal, but she has more experience and knowledge about the situation in Iraq than either Obama has. She can be commended for putting her feet where her mouth is and taking action to help the disadvantaged and she has earned my respect for forging a real family that she keeps near her. She and Brad have used their celebrity for lots of good. Also, they give not only their money but their time too. As I posted before she is very pro gun and when she came back from Iraq and visiting the troops she publicly praised the success of our troops in Iraq.

At least they walk their talk. Michelle Obama hasn't a clue what that means. I think Ms. "I Hate America" put her foot in it -again- by slamming Jolie.

Joli has been to Iraq and supports the troops and the people of Iraq... Cindy McCain has been to Vietnam and supports the poor and landmine victims... Michelle Obama has been to.... Where has she been to? Oh wait ......Obamamamma has been to the combat zones...in Chicago.

After her sarcastic crack about Angelina, she started in on the “joke” of Barack being a style icon because of his old clothes and shoes. She puts him down constantly. I think I have heard and read her doing this at least 15 times of more. Husbands and wives don’t always see eye to eye, but I think it’s incredibly disrespectful and rude to demean your spouse in public. I can’t imagine how Michelle acts in the privacy of their own home. Scary thought!

A very hostile, angry, and ill-tempered woman.

Something else about this that Nicholas brought up. Maybe she is not only jealous of Jolie but also Cindy McCain. There are some similar things about them.

Senator John McCain and his wife, Cindy, in a 1999 family photograph with, from left, Meghan, Bridget, Jimmy and Jack.

Cindy learned to fly a plane

Cindy is well off. When her Father passed away she took over the business and has it imaking more money then ever before.

Cindy is pro gun

Cindy has an adopted special needs child

Cindy works very hard for simliar causes as Jolie , helping disadvantage children around the world.

The bottom line is that Jolie has come a long way from being pretty screwed up years ago. I am glad to see the changes in her. I see no changes in Michelle Obama from the things she spouted back in college right up to now.

Jesse Jackson Learns Lesson About Open Mic

Jesse Jackson Tape: Open Mic Catches Audio of Disparaging Obama Remarks

O’REILLY:

" ‘We held back some of this conversation… we didn’t feel it had any relevance to the conversation this evening. We are not out to get Jesse Jackson. We are not out to embarrass him and we are not out to make him look bad. If we were, we would have used what we had, which is more damaging than what you have heard’

The comments were made prior to an interview Jackson did Sunday morning on Fox & Friends.

The video shows Jackson chatting with Reid Tuckson, EVP of United Health Group. The two were at Fox News Channel's Chicago bureau getting ready to be interviewed about a new health care initiative.

Jackson was apparently unaware his microphone was hot when he made the comments about Obama, which we're told are racial in nature.

CNN, anchor Don Lemon reported that Rev. Jackson had reached out to the network to apologize for the comments.

Later, during The Situation Room, Wolf Blitzer and Lemon interviewed Jackson about his comments. At one point, Blitzer said, "because it's so crude, we can't even repeat it on the air right now."

Jackson told CNN that he didn’t realize his remarks were captured by a “hot” microphone. In a helpful tip to folks like Jesse Jackson that they might want to understand that all microphones are live and hot and all cell phone have cameras and video.

Jesse Jackson apoloogy statement:

Speaking to CNN Wednesday, Jackson said he feels “very distressed” over the comments.

“This is a sound bite in a broader conversation about urban policy and racial disparities. I feel very distressed because I’m supportive of this campaign and with the senator, what he has done and is doing,” he said. “I said he comes down as speaking down to black people. The moral message must be a much broader message. What we need really is racial justice and urban policy and jobs and health care. That’s a range of issues on the menu.
“Then I said something I regret was crude. It was very private. And very much a sound bite,” he also said.

In a statement issued earlier Wednesday to CNN, Jackson said, “For any harm or hurt that this hot mic private conversation may have caused, I apologize. My support for Senator Obama’s campaign is wide, deep and unequivocal. I cherish this redemptive and historical moment.”

Since it is not Imus saying this they are letting it slide.

Wild Thing's comment.......

Some are saying this was all a set up and Fox News fell for it. Others say it is for real and Jesse Jackson can't stand Obama. I guess there is no way to tell unless we saw the complete video. I do know so far Jesse has not endorsed Obama so it might not be a set up. Jackson has never been well liked by black leaders in Chicago and elsewhere, even those who agree with him politically. King never trusted him and called him totally self-seeking.

Right at the end of his ‘cuttin off nuts’ comment he makes a motion that looks like he’s slicing under the table! To me that shows a lot of anger or rage and it is directed at Obama. LOL

Obama Says Your Kids Need to Learn Jive er ah Spanish

Barack Obama says “instead of worrying about immigrants having to learn English” we Americans “need to make sure our children can learn Spanish”.

Watch as Barack Obama gets more worked up over not enough American kids learning Spanish than Immigrants learning English.

Lou Dobbs last night pointed out in his commentary that Obama's remarks were "breathtaking," "pandering of the lowest sort," and socially divisive. He also pointed out the ironies that nearly 30 FOREIGN nations have English as their official language and that Obama himself knows no Spanish!

Wild Thing's comment........

Obama has consistently opposed making English the official language so much so that he has voted against making it the official English four times in 2006 and 2007

He was one of 34 senators who voted against the measure.

He wants all of us to speak French, Spanish and what will be next? All the while Obama’s 2nd language is uh uh,, duh ,, uh well,, uh uh.! When B. Hussein Obama speaks off the cuff, I swear I don't understand how he ever earned the title “articulate”?

There is a HUGE difference between being multi-lingual as an individual, and the first language of a country. I am fine with anyone being able to speak more then one language. I think it is cool actually. But this is not what Obama is up to, he wants us to cater to the illegals plain and simple!

And another thing about which this empty suit has no clue.

There’s a reason most Americans don’t go out of their way to learn other languages. All around the world, people learn English. Because they want to.

Anyone who has ever spent years learning a language, only to go to Europe or Asia and have a bunch of people dying to speak English to them, knows this fact very well. Today and for the foreseeable future, English is the language of business, of entertainment, of technology. We don’t make the rest of the world learn English; they do that all by themselves.

And if we had to learn some other language to do what we wanted to do in the world, we would. Duh.

But we don’t. Sure there are minor inconveniences on the individual level for English-only speakers, but for most people they don’t rise to the level of requiring the investment it takes to learn another language. For those who do need to learn another language, of course they do so (assuming they can).

If someone wants to learn another language for the sake of learning, or for some personal reason, that’s beautiful. But it’s simply not necessary to know any language but English almost anywhere in the world today.

We all have learned how many of our troops are learning other languages and that is normal in war. Many of these soldiers that can do this will go on further in their military career as well. It is a huge help to our troops to be able to learn the language of the enemy. But once again this is NOT what Obama is demanding.

Why isn’t America ashamed to have such an Anti-America, Anti-Military, Anti-Semetic, Racist, Elitist, Presumptuous bastard as a candidate for POTUS?

Obama's other lanugage? heh heh

Obama Says Critics Haven't Been Listening ~ Waaaaa

LMAO this is hilarious it is a Barack Obama 57 State Remix

Obama Says His Critics Haven’t Been Listening

POWDER SPRINGS, Ga.

Senator Barack Obama on Tuesday forcefully addressed concerns that he had moved too quickly to the political center, acknowledging complaints from “my friends on the left” about his statements on Iraq, his approaches to evangelicals and his remarks on other issues that have alarmed some of his supporters.

“Look, let me talk about the broader issue, this whole notion that I am shifting to the center,” he told a crowd gathered at a town hall-style meeting in this Atlanta suburb. “The people who say this apparently haven’t been listening to me.”

“I am someone who is no doubt progressive,” he said, adding that he believed in universal health care and that government had a strong role to play in overseeing financial institutions and cracking down on abuses in bankruptcies and the like.

Mr. Obama has faced a wave of complaints from his followers in recent weeks that he is tacking hard toward the political center and moving away from his liberal base now that he is in a general election campaign.

“I believe in personal responsibility; I also believe in faith,” he said. “That’s not something new; I’ve been talking about that for years. So the notion that this is me trying to look” — he waved his hands around his head — “centrist is not true.”

Regarding his position on Iraq, he said, “Don’t be confused: I will bring the Iraq war to a close when I am president of the United States of America.”

Obama we aren't stupid !

Progressive = communist

One of the reasons Obama survives is because the MSM keeps giving him a free pass.

John Edwards " Pick Me" Pick Meeeee"

Edwards would 'seriously consider' VP offer

International Herald Triibune

John Edwards said Tuesday that if he were asked to accept the vice presidential slot or a cabinet position in a potential Barack Obama administration, he would “seriously consider” whatever the Illinois senator asked him to do.

It has been widely reported that the former North Carolina senator is on Obama’s vice presidential shortlist. On Tuesday, NPR interviewer Guy Raz called the former Democratic presidential candidate’s presence on the list an “open secret,” and asked Edwards whether he’d weigh accepting a vice presidential offer, or might take himself out of consideration as Virginia Senator Jim Webb had done Monday.

“I’m glad to hear that’s an open secret because I didn’t know it,” joked Edwards of his rumored consideration as Obama’s running mate.

“My answer to that is, I’ve run for vice president, I’ve run for president twice. I would do anything that I felt I could do to serve this country but I think it’s a huge presumption for me or anybody else to suggest what Senator Obama may decide,” he said.

To answer your question directly: I don’t expect to be asked, have no expectation about it at all, I will – anything that Senator Obama asks me to do, including this, including campaigning for him, I intend to do, because what I’m going to do, I intend to take seriously,” he added. “What I intend to do is everything in my power, use everything in my power to make sure that he’s the next president.”

Pressed on whether that meant he might join the ticket if asked, Edwards would not rule it out. “I am prepared to seriously consider anything, anything he asks me to do for our country,” he told NPR.

Wild Thing's comment........

As VP, maybe he could also head a new Cabinet position in Obama's Universal Health Care scheme--- "Secretary of Ambulance-Chasing".

Edwards would 'seriously consider' VP offer

Edwards would seriously consider an offer from the "Book of the Month Club" He would take anything he could get.

LOL , Obama who thinks there are 57 states, and a VP who thinks there are 2 Americas.

Candidates' Vices: Craps and Poker

Candidates' Vices: Craps and Poker

Time at CNN

The casino craps player is a social animal, a thrill seeker who wants not just to win but to win with a crowd. Unlike cards or a roulette wheel, well-thrown dice reward most everyone on the rail, yielding a collective yawp that drowns out the slots. It is a game for showmen, Hollywood stars and basketball legends with girls on their arms. It is also a favorite pastime of the presumptive Republican nominee for President, John McCain.

The backroom poker player, on the other hand, is more cautious and self-absorbed. Card games may be social, but they are played in solitude. No need for drama. The quiet card counter is king, and only a novice banks on luck. In this game, a good bluff trumps blind faith, and the studied observer beats the showman. So it is fitting that the presumptive Democratic nominee, Barack Obama, raked in so many pots in his late-night games with political friends.

For centuries, the nation's political leaders have loved their games of chance.

Andrew Jackson owned fighting cocks and raced horses.

Richard Nixon helped finance his first congressional race with his World War II poker winnings.

Teddy Roosevelt noted that the professional gamblers he knew "usually made good soldiers."

But even among this crowd, McCain and Obama are distinctive. For both men, games of chance have been not just a hobby but also a fundamental feature in their development as people and politicians.

For Obama, weekly poker games with lobbyists and fellow state senators helped cement his position as a rising star in Illinois politics.

For McCain, jaunts to the craps table helped burnish his image as a political hot dog who relished the thrill of a good fight, even if the risk of failure was high.

The Thrill of the Game

McCain's passion for gambling and taking other risks has never been a secret. He was a Navy flyer, trained in the art of controlled crash landings on aircraft carriers. He spent his youth sneaking booze behind the backs of his schoolmasters and reveling in his stack of demerits. He came of age on shore leave in the casinos of Monte Carlo, in a Navy culture that had long embraced dice in the officers' clubs.

The moral code of McCain's youth always distinguished between sins of honor and sins of pleasure. "Don't lie, cheat or steal — anything else is fair game," McCain told his son Jack when the boy left for the U.S. Naval Academy at Annapolis, Md. In his memoir, McCain recalls that by his mid-20s, he "had begun to aspire to a reputation for more commendable achievements than long nights of drinking and gambling."

Over time he gave up the drinking bouts, but he never quite kicked the periodic yen for dice. In the past decade, he has played on Mississippi riverboats, on Indian land, in Caribbean craps pits and along the length of the Las Vegas Strip.

Back in 2005 he joined a group of journalists at a magazine-industry conference in Puerto Rico, offering betting strategy on request. "Enjoying craps opens up a window on a central thread constant in John's life," says John Weaver, McCain's former chief strategist, who followed him to many a casino. "Taking a chance, playing against the odds."

Aides say McCain tends to play for a few thousand dollars at a time and avoids taking markers, or loans, from the casinos, which he has helped regulate in Congress. "He never, ever plays on the house," says Mark Salter, a McCain adviser. The goal, say several people familiar with his habit, is never financial. He loves the thrill of winning and the camaraderie at the table.

Only recently have McCain's aides urged him to pull back from the pastime. In the heat of the G.O.P. primary fight last spring, he announced on a visit to the Vegas Strip that he was going to the casino floor. When his aides stopped him, fearing a public relations disaster, McCain suggested that they ask the casino to take a craps table to a private room, a high-roller privilege McCain had indulged in before. His aides, with alarm bells ringing, refused again, according to two accounts of the discussion.

"He clearly knows that this is on the borderline of what is acceptable for him to be doing," says a Republican who has watched McCain play. "And he just sort of revels in it."

If McCain plays craps for thrills, Obama sees gambling as a way to vent his competitive urge. His love of basketball is well known. "I could get to the rim on anybody," he told HBO's Bryant Gumbel of his high school hoops days. He could not even play golf for fun, taking lessons to lower his handicap after a few poor performances. "Barack hates to lose," says Dan Shomon, an old Chicago political aide.

Poker may be sedentary, but it is no less competitive. Obama played most regularly as an Illinois state senator in the late 1990s. The legislature met in Springfield, which had little to recommend it after hours, except on Wednesday nights, when "The Committee Meeting," as it was nicknamed, convened in state senator Terry Link's basement. Obama and fellow senators made up the "core four." The game began at 7 p.m. and often lasted until 2 a.m. There were pizza and chips, a fridge full of beer, and enough cigars for a smoke-filled room. Obama usually showed up in a baseball cap and sweats. He cadged cigarettes and drank a beer, kept up with the boys'-night-out banter and roared at the off-color stories. When he lost a hand, Obama joked that he couldn't afford gasoline to drive home.

But he always had his head in the game. The stakes were low enough — $1 ante and $3 top raise — to afford a long shot. Not Obama. He studied the cards as closely as he would an eleventh-hour amendment to a bill. The odds were religion to him. Only rarely did he bluff. "He had a pretty good idea about what his chances were," says Denny Jacobs, a former state senator from East Moline.

Obama's play-to-win approach drove other players crazy. Former state senator Larry Walsh, a conservative corn farmer from Joliet, once got ready to pull in a pot with a four-of-a-kind hand. But Obama had four of a kind too, of higher rank. Walsh slammed down his cards. "Doggone it, Barack, if you were more liberal in your card-playing and more conservative in your politics, you and I would get along much better," he said.

Obama used the sessions to bond with those who could aid his political ascent, including several lawmakers with whom he forged lasting political alliances, as well as some lobbyists. The banks, utilities and insurance agents were often represented. "We all became buddies in the card games, but there never were any favors granted," says David Manning of the Community Bankers Association of Illinois.

Obama usually left a winner. But he reaped a bigger payoff politically. When he announced his plans to run for the U.S. Senate, his poker pals — white guys from small-town Illinois — were among his earliest supporters.

Link says the Wednesday-night gang didn't realize how far Obama would go: "Nobody said, 'Mr. President, it's your deal.' " But Obama's risk-averse, methodical approach to five-card stud gives Link confidence in his potential governing style. "If he runs his presidency the way he plays poker, I'll sleep good at night," he says.

What do the candidates' gambling proclivities tell us about who they are? Politicians talk of their campaigns as grand contests of ideas. But in practice, the political battle is both a crapshoot and a poker game, a study in managing risk and in manipulating people.

And there is no bigger gamble than a presidential run, which both candidates have conducted very differently this cycle.

McCain's campaign, like his life, has been marked by its embrace of living dangerously and by clear runs of fortune and disappointment.

Obama, meanwhile, has succeeded, no less remarkably, by diligently executing a premeditated strategy. But the general-election game is new to both men. And as the stakes rise, both know they'll need a little luck.

Wild Thing's comment........

BIAS bias BIAS big time in this article. hahahaha Just soooo obvious!

Not to quibble, but the card counter is king in blackjack, not poker. However, poker is a game of deception.

The casino craps player is a social animal, a thrill seeker who wants not just to win but to win with a crowd.

Total bilge! Roulette has a crowd, too. You play craps because you believe the odds are the best and you like the action of the game not because you want to get down with your fellow gambling homeys. Where do they find these putzes?

It makes it seem like McCain almost has a gambling problem: he's a risk taker, he's crazy, he's almost immoral in his high-falutin' pleasure seeking. Yee Haa!

Now, Obama on the other hand, is a thinker. He's careful. He wins. He wins a lot. He's smarter than other politicians. He uses poker as a bonding exercise. It makes him a more effective politician.

Oh, and Obama also walks on water.

The coverage just seems so over-the-top.

LMAO, next I am expecting an article on how the candidates apply ketchup to their french fries. Short summation: Obama applies ketchup in a god-like manner, while John McCain massacres his french fries in an angry orgy of corrupt, influence-peddling, blood-soaked storm of condiments.

Obama Switches Location For Speech To Accept DNC Nomination

Obama shifts venue for main convention speech to big football stadium

Senator Barack Obama will accept his party's nomination in a Denver football stadium that seats more than 75,000 people, campaign officials said Monday, a late change in plans intended to take advantage of the candidate's ability to draw huge crowds.

The Obama campaign's decision to hold the convention's headliner event at Invesco stadium, nearly two miles, or about three kilometers, away from the main convention hall at the Pepsi Center, harked back to the decision by John F. Kennedy to accept the Democratic Party nomination at the Memorial Coliseum in Los Angeles in 1960.

But the announcement came after the news media had spent months planning coverage under the seemingly safe assumption that all four nights of the convention would take place at the Pepsi Center, which seats 19,000 people.

The challenge was especially high for the major television networks, which pour millions of dollars into elaborate sky box and floor sets devised to showcase their own stars along with the candidates themselves.

The television network chiefs were to hold a meeting late Monday to discuss how to collectively handle the change in plans, which will now require extra sets and camera locations.

Executives at all of the networks said the move to the stadium may require them to scale back plans for the first three nights of the convention in a year when the unexpectedly long Democratic nominating season and tough economic times already have strained news budgets.

For the past few election cycles, the networks have chafed at providing blanket coverage of the conventions, complaining that they have become little more than stage-managed press releases for all-but-certain candidacies and no longer produce real news.

The excitement surrounding the presidential election this year has produced extraordinary television ratings that could change the network deliberations.

Obama's campaign has clearly decided that the benefits of placing Obama in front of a roaring crowd of 75,000, on a day that also happens to be the anniversary of the "I Have a Dream Speech" by the Reverend Martin Luther King Jr., are worth the cost of agitated television network executives.

The Democratic National Convention Committee said it would party fill the stadium with Colorado residents. Tommy Vietor, a spokesman for Obama, said that the move to a stadium that can hold more people and not just party regulars and supporters was in keeping with Obama's "priority to open up the political process."

But the decision also allows Obama take advantage of his ability to bring tens of thousands to their feet in a way that few politicians can.

Matt Burns, a spokesman for the Republican National Committee, said the stadium move amounted to simply "stagecraft and theatrics."

Guess the Obama campaign is holding a raffel so people can have a chance to “win” a seat at the stadium!

https://donate.barackobama.com/DNCconvention

"On Thursday, August 28th, he’s scheduled to formally accept the Democratic nomination in a speech at the convention hall in front of the assembled delegates.
Instead, the convention will move to an outdoor stadium where Barack will join more than 75,000 people for a huge, free, open-air event and deliver his acceptance speech to the American people.

It’s going to be an amazing event, and Barack would like you to join him. Free tickets will become available as the date approaches, but we’ve reserved a special place for a few of the people who brought us this far and who continue to drive this campaign.

If you make a donation of $5 or more between now and midnight on July 31st, you could be one of 10 supporters chosen to fly to Denver and spend two days and nights at the convention, meet Barack backstage, and watch his acceptance speech in person. Each of the ten supporters who are selected will be able to bring one guest to join them.

Make a donation now and you could have a front row seat to history:

We’ll follow up with more details on this and other convention activities as we get closer, but please take a moment and pass this note to someone you know who might like to be there.

It will be an event you’ll never forget.

Thank you,
David Plouffe
Campaign Manager
Obama for America"

Wild Thing's comment..........

There is something sick about this whole thing. I will not compare this guy to any leader; because he’s not a leader. He’s a figurehead for some political power and the public doesn’t realize it.

I wonder if they will bring in a popular band to play before his speech, to make sure people show up.

Denver has some terrific lightning strikes in August; ‘twould be a delight to see the consternation if BO’s “really big shew” gets cancelled because of Divine improvidence.

Add to this Obama’s going all the way to Germany to deliver a speech at Brandenburg gate like Kennedy, when he wouldn’t even go to Alaska!

With the help of the media, the ENTIRE WORLD was already going to be able to view his acceptance speech at the convention. This is about getting as many people as possible to be there in person to ADORE him. It’s all about him.

Obama And His Team Of Marxist Considering Speech At Brandenburg Gate

Obama team mulling speech at Brandenburg Gate

the local.de (Germany's news in English)

Democratic US presidential candidate Barack Obama has requested permission to give an address at the Brandenburg Gate when he visits Berlin later this month, according to German media reports.

Although it's still not official, various German media are reporting that Obama's team has contacted the Berlin Senate to discuss the possibility of the presidential hopeful delivering an outdoor speech in front of the famous landmark. It would likely be his only public speech during an upcoming European tour which is set to include stops in Germany, France and the UK.

If permission is granted, the address would be loaded with historical significance. The Brandenburg Gate is where former US President Ronald Regan gave a famous speech in 1987, during which he asked then-Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev to “tear down” the Berlin Wall.

Both Chancellor Angela Merkal and Foreign Minister Frank-Walter Steinmeier have expressed interest in meeting Obama, although dates for his visit have not yet been confirmed.

Obama is immensely popular in Berlin – a factor that appears to have some of his advisors worried. According to reports in the daily Berliner Morgenpost, some of his staff have warned him that excessive popularity in Europe could end up costing him votes at home, as was the case with 2004 presidential candidate, John Kerry.

Wild Thing's comment.......

Let me guess.... Mr. Gorbachev bring back this wall?

Obama's speech ..."Ich bein en Panderer"...“Ich bin ein muslimer”........“Ich bin laden Berliner”

Is this poser going to pretend to be some great defender of freedom and democracy? Sickening to see this lightweight trying to gain some credibility by associating himself with our military and such an iconic symbol of the Cold War victory, a victory that would never have happened if clowns like Obama had been in any position of responsibility.

Hanoi Kerry Says McCain's Judgment Is Dangerous

Says Republican Candidate Is A "Changed Man" For Siding With Bush On War, Economy, Energy

CBS Face The Nation

Sen. John Kerry believes that the presumptive Republican nominee for president is adhering to the Bush Administration orthodoxy in ways that call into question his carefully-nurtured image as a political maverick.

"John McCain has changed in profound and fundamental ways that I find personally really surprising, and frankly upsetting," the Democratic Senator from Massachusetts said on CBS' Face The Nation.

"This is a different John McCain. This is not the Senator John McCain; this is want-to-be president John McCain.

"And the result is that John McCain has flip-flopped on more issues than I was even ever accused possibly of thinking about! I mean, this is extraordinary what he's done: He's changed on taxes; he's now in favor of the Bush tax cut. If you like the Bush economy, if you like the Bush tax cut and what it's done to our economy, making wealthier people wealthier and the average middle class struggle harder, then John McCain is going to give you a third term of George Bush and Karl Rove.

"If you like what has happened to oil prices, John McCain is going to continue that policy. If you like what you see about health care, John McCain has no health care plan.

"I would have at least expected the John McCain that I knew back then to realize what almost every person in the Pentagon has admitted. There are very few who walk around and say, 'Going into Iraq was the right thing to do, and we should have done it, or do it again if I have the chance.' John McCain does.

"I'm challenging Senator McCain's judgment," Kerry said, "that says, 'There's no violent history between Sunni and Shia.' That's wrong. His judgment that says, 'This is going to increase the stability of the Middle East.' It hasn't, it's made it less stable. The judgment that says, quote, 'This will be the best thing for America and the world in a long time. It's the worst thing that we've done in a long time. And he's turned his [focus] away from Afghanistan and al Qaeda and made America less safe. That's dangerous for our country."

Kerry criticized McCain's continued support of the occupation, given the effect of a continuing presence of U.S. troops on the situation in Iraq and the region at large. He pointed to remarks by leaders in the Middle East who told him during a recent visit, "You, America, have served up to Iran Iraq on a platter."

"They are outraged by the ineptitude of what has been done by those who decided it was smart to go into Iraq," said Kerry, who feels the Republican Party is now in turmoil over the "reality" of McCain's position, which is that "he has a plan for staying in Iraq and Barack Obama has a plan for getting out of Iraq."

Wild Thing's comment.......

The other day I posted about how Kerry had trashed Col. Bud Day. Now he is taking his BS and yakking about McCain.

He says that McCain has dangerous judgment, and yet we can remember that McCain solicited John Kerry to be his VP nominee. LOL Yes that WAS bad judgment on McCain's part. Funny how Kerry's words come back to bite him. heh heh

Here we go. “This is not the John McCain that I knew.”

Kerry is a traitor. The statute of limitations has not run out on his acts of treason. He can still swing by a rope if convicted. And he should.

Kerry seems to forget the fact that McCain slandered the POW families along side Kerry.

Kerry also forgets that McCain told off the Swift Boat Veterans that were speaking the truth about Kerry. Hey Kerry, so much for staying out of the fray in this election and not attacking your ole buddy McCain. OH but that makes sense on Kerry's part he turned his back on his brothers in Vietnam as well!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Kerry: "if you like the Bush tax cut and what it's done to our economy, making wealthier people wealthier and the average middle class struggle harder, ..."

This same old lie about the tax cuts being only for the rich.

The 2003 Tax Cuts:

1) Extended the earn income tax credit thereby helping the lower class.

2) Doubled the child credit from $500 to $1000 per child.

3) Eliminated the marriage penalty.

B.Hussein Obama's Vision For The Lincoln Bedroom

Lincoln Bedroom

It was Harry Truman who suggested turning Lincoln’s former office and cabinet room into a bedroom with furnishings associated with the family. In 2004, using documentary evidence from the period, the First Lady and her team restored the room and returned period details, among them the window cornices and mantel—made to match the one that had been there during Lincoln’s time.

Obama has a vision for the Lincoln Bedroom

Here is Jodie Evans official page on Barack Obama’s campaign website .

He's not president yet, but Barack Obama has already given some thought to White House decor.

Asked at a town hall-style meeting in Fargo, N.D., about any decorating plans for the Lincoln Bedroom, Obama described a visit to the White House after he became a U.S. senator.

"You have all these mementos of Abraham Lincoln, but you have this flat-screen TV in there," Obama told the crowd at the outdoor event.

"I thought to myself, 'Now, who stays in the Lincoln Bedroom and watches [ESPN's] 'Sports Center'? You've got your clicker. . . . That didn't seem to me to be appropriate. So I might take out the TV, I don't know.

"You should read when you're in the Lincoln Bedroom! Reread the Gettysburg Address. Don't watch TV."

Wild Thing's comment........

LOL like I believe him....NOT.

I have a vision for the Lincoln Bedroom... To keep Obama out of it! And out of the White House and Presidency.

Jodie Evans Code Pink co-founder is Obama Bundler

B. Hussein Obama met with his terrorist supporting fundraiser, Jodie Evans, at a $5 million Hollywood fundraiser held last week at the Dorothy Chandler Pavillion on Tuesday, June 24.

It was a big middle finger to the veterans and military families who have urged Obama to renounce Evans, Obama met with Evans and was photographed with her at the fundraiser.

Code Pink 'Bundles' for Barack
Human Events

The co-founder of the radical anti-war group Code Pink has “bundled” more than $50,000 for Sen. Barack Obama’s presidential campaign, and pro-troops groups are demanding that he return the money.
Jodie Evans, a Code Pink leader, gathered at least $50,000 from friends and associates and donated it to Obama’s presidential campaign, according to information compiled by the nonpartisan watchdog group, Public Citizen.

Evans and her son, a student who lives at her Southern California address, each also gave the maximum individual allowable donation of $2,300 to Obama’s campaign.

The donations have raised questions about Obama’s association with the more radical elements of his base. Code Pink has harassed, vandalized and impeded military recruiters across the United States in a campaign it calls “counter-recruitment.” The group also gave $600,000 to the families of Iraqi terrorists in Fallujah, whom it called “insurgents” fighting for their homes.

Families United for Our Troops and Their Mission, Move America Forward, Military Families Voice of Victory, The Band of Mothers and FreeRepublic.com, issued a statement this week saying Obama should cut ties to his radical bundler.
Obama’s campaign did not respond to repeated attempts to get comment on the latest controversy to hit his campaign.

Evans said in an interview last month on June 3 that al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden had a 'valid argument' for attacking America on Sept. 11, 2001.

When Obama launched his presidential campaign in February 2007, he turned to Jodie Evans, who had just returned from Cuba as a guest of the Castro government where she was protesting against America, to co-host his first big Hollywood fundraiser. He also tapped Evans to bundle between $50,000 and $100,000 for his campaign. Evans personally gave the legal maximum, $2300, to Obama's campaign.

Evans' fellow co-founder of Code Pink, Fidel Castro groupie Medea Benjamin, describing in great detail Evans' meeting with Obama last week:

"Last night Code Pink co-founder Jodie Evans was at a Hollywood bash for Barack Obama. And it was pretty interesting because there was Jodie going up to get her picture taken with Barack Obama. And I don't know if you've seen but some of these right wing groups have been trying to say that Barack Obama is really a communist because he gets money from people like Jodie Evans.
"So Jodie went up to shake his hand and the first thing he said to her without her saying anything is, "I know you Jodie, and Code Pink. And I know that you want me to end this war and bring all the troops home and I am going to do that."

"And he said, "I know that you want there to be no permanent bases in Iraq and I want that too."

"And she said,"But we don't trust you because you just put these policy advisors who are leftovers from the Clinton administration who are not antiwar."

"He said, "Don't worry, I have other advisors and I want to end this war in Iraq."

"And then she said, "But we're worried because you aren't standing up against the FISA bill and for our rights not to be illegally spied on."

"And he said, "I am going to vote against that bill."

"Of course we wanted him to do more, we wanted him to filibuster but he's not willing to do that. She pushed him on that.

"But I bring this up because we have the ability to push from the inside and the outside. And its being right here at this kind of place and places like this around the country that are the antidote to the people that are pushing Barack Obama to be quote centrist, which means a warmonger.

"So we have to keep this fight up. Not just because we want to see this Marine recruiting station closed. But because we want this message to reverberate in the presidential elections and the congressional elections.

"We want Nancy Pelosi to hear it. We want Barack Obama to hear it. We want all of those who are in power now and might have even more power come November to know that we are serious about ending this occupation and this war."

Jodie Evans' record as an anti-American activist is well-known. She travels the world, meeting with the likes of Hugo Chavez and representatives of the so-called Iraqi resistance. In 2005, she had this to say about the terrorists killing and maiming American troops:

"We must begin by really standing with the Iraqi people and defending their right to resist. I can remain myself against all forms of violence, and yet I cannot judge what someone has to do when pushed to the wall to protect all they love. The Iraqi people are fighting for their country, to protect their families and to preserve all they love. They are fighting for their lives, and we are fighting for lies."

Barack Obama has no problem meeting with her, accepting her money and enlisting her aid in his campaign.

Whether he does exactly as she wants when she wants is beside the point. The point is Evans has the blood of American soldiers on her hands--and Obama embraces her without reservation. And he wants to be commander-in-chief.

One last quote :

“if justice is to ever come to the people of Iraq, the people we call insurgents will have to be recognized as the ones who are actually defending their homeland.”

Jodie Evans sees her savior in Barack – and Michelle – Obama.

Obama Site Urges Revolution Against U.S.

Obama site urges: 'Revolution' against U.S. 'oppressive' regime
Marxists, socialists, communists form group to plot on official campaign blog

Marxists, socialists and communists have created a safe space online to congregate, exchange ideas – including a stated revolution against the U.S. "oppressive" regime – and support their favored presidential candidate.

Their meeting spot? Sen. Barack Obama's official campaign website, which allows registered users to form groups and post content in online "community" blogs.

One popular community group on the Illinois senator's official MyObama website calls itself "Marxists/Socialists/Communists for Obama."

"This group is for self-proclaimed Marxists/Communists/Socialists for the election of Barack Obama to the Presidency. By no means is he a true Marxist, but under Karl Marx's writings we are to support the party with the best interests of the mobilization of the proletariat," states the groups charter.

"We support Barack Obama because he knows what is best for the people!" exclaims the group's online creed.

And on Obama's site, the declared Marxist, communist and socialist bloggers rant against such varied targets as Republicans, capitalism and the Fox News Channel.

In a posting titled "The Nature of the Proletariat ," one group member calls for revolution against the U.S. "oppressive" regime.

And on Obama's site, the declared Marxist, communist and socialist bloggers rant against such varied targets as Republicans, capitalism and the Fox News Channel. According to author profiles, the bloggers range from registered voters to underage high school students who state they are looking to foment revolt.

"Eventually, the bourgeoisie controlled government will fail to keep the ever growing masses at bay, and the Revolution will occur," adds the posting.

The user argues Obama will help advance the "revolution," which he says can be a physical revolt or massive governmental reform:

"The Neo-proleatarian is now the bearer of the Revolution. That's why I support Obama. He helps destroy the paradigm of bourgeoisie government, which is best for the Proletariat. In the end, this will only hasten the Revolution even if the Revolution must come as a massive government reform."

Another posting by a registered group member calling himself "The Chalk Graffiti Terrorist" argues on Obama's site against the "evils" of capitalism.

"We can’t just accept the evil side of capitalism. The nature of capitalism is to maximize profits, and this is often done by minimizing expenditure—in short, cutting costs. And cutting costs means less benefits, less pay, and poorer conditions for the workers. But capitalism has more evil in it than that. The profit motive drives the destruction of our environment, it has caused the current foreclosure crisis, and it exploits and basically enslaves those poor not protected by legitimate representative government."

A blog posting on Obama's official campaign site urged Americans to take action to secure the release of imprisoned terrorist fundraiser Sami Al-Arian, comparing the controversial former professor to Martin Luther King and Malcolm X.

The posting, which has been removed since publication of the story, is just a sampling of a large volume of racist, anti-Semitic and pro-Palestinian rhetoric published on the user-friendly MyObama community blog pages.

One recently removed posting claims Jews control the media. Another referred to Jews as "puppet masters" and "war criminals." Yet another posting, titled "The Israeli connection to 9/11," claimed Israeli intelligence was involved in the mega-attack and planted "false flags" to blame Arab countries.

Wild Thing's comment...........

Terrorists, CodePinkos, the gay agenda cabal, and the commies all find something to love about the Obamunist.

Obama's four-year stint as a political organizer and agitator in Chicago's South Side neighborhoods gave him a hands-on education in Alinsky revolutionary tactics, which he seems adept at using now. Another Alinskyite, Hillary Clinton, studied Alinksy and his rule book and turned down an offer to work for him.

The Soviets, following the lead of Marxist theoreticians like Antonio Gramsci, took very seriously the idea that by blighting the U.S.’s intellectual and esthetic life, they could sap Americans’ will to resist Communist ideology and an eventual Communist takeover. The explicit goal was to erode the confidence of America’s ruling class and create an ideological vacuum to be filled by Marxism-Leninism. As we see in the examples we have seen often at Obama's website.

Their major function was to spread disinformation as we have seen happening over the years. Bush's War, re-write History, slander the military by their saying we are occupiers as Pelosi and others have said over and over , Progressive ( communist/socialist) politicians in our government, and Marxism in our media.

The ideological warfare and the Gramscian damage to America is very much alive. Here are some of the most important Stalinist propaganda memes:

* There is no truth, only competing agendas.

* All Western (and especially American) claims to moral superiority over Communism/Fascism/Islam are vitiated by the West’s history of racism and colonialism.

* There are no objective standards by which we may judge one culture to be better than another. Anyone who claims that there are such standards is an evil oppressor.

* The prosperity of the West is built on ruthless exploitation of the Third World; therefore Westerners actually deserve to be impoverished and miserable.

* Crime is the fault of society, not the individual criminal. Poor criminals are entitled to what they take. Submitting to criminal predation is more virtuous than resisting it.

* The poor are victims. Criminals are victims. And only victims are virtuous. Therefore only the poor and criminals are virtuous. (Rich people can borrow some virtue by identifying with poor people and criminals.)

* For a virtuous person, violence and war are never justified. It is always better to be a victim than to fight, or even to defend oneself. But ‘oppressed’ people are allowed to use violence anyway; they are merely reflecting the evil of their oppressors.

* When confronted with terror, the only moral course for a Westerner is to apologize for past sins, understand the terrorist’s point of view, and make concessions.

I am still optimistic about our country. But we have to do more than recognize Stalin’s memes; we have to reject them. We have to eject postmodern leftism from our universities, progressivism from our politics, and Marxism from our media. It means we have to speak up, staying silent we surely will not win this war with the enemy within. We need to vote these lefties out of office and let's not forget too how we all joined in with emails, fax's and phone calls twice to stop amnesty. It worked twice and it showed we do have a voice if we use it and work to get it heard. They outnumber us so how much more we can stop amnesty looks dim for sure. Especially since both candidates are very pro illegals. But there are other things too our voices have been heard when we went into the fight back mode. Showing us there is a ray of hope and we must never give up.

Obama attacks these vile groups because he is one of them and they know it. He may not hold his fist in the air side by side the Black Panthers but he associates with them all the same. His thinking is similar to these groups this post is about that want a Revolution. Obama just calls it CHANGE.

Obama Got Discount on Home Loan

Washington Post ......for complete story

Shortly after joining the U.S. Senate and while enjoying a surge in income, Barack Obama bought a $1.65 million restored Georgian mansion in an upscale Chicago neighborhood. To finance the purchase, he secured a $1.32 million loan from Northern Trust in Illinois.
The freshman Democratic senator received a discount. He locked in an interest rate of 5.625 percent on the 30-year fixed-rate mortgage, below the average for such loans at the time in Chicago. The loan was unusually large, known in banker lingo as a "super super jumbo." Obama paid no origination fee or discount points, as some consumers do to reduce their interest rates.

Compared with the average terms offered at the time in Chicago, Obama's rate could have saved him more than $300 per month.

Obama's house purchase has been a source of controversy.

July 10-24, 2008 issue of Rolling Stone....

NOTE the Lapel pin but watch out for those teeth. LOL
Interesting that there's no words of the cover. Perfect for a guy with no ideas, or bad ideas. And quite fitting considering he's an empty suit also.

Obama says opposes Calif. anti-gay marriage measure and McCain supports it

Obama website for Pride Week for gays etc.

SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) - Democratic presidential hopeful Barack Obama opposes a California measure that would define marriage as between a man and woman after the state's top court backed same-sex weddings, according to a letter released on Tuesday.

Californians will vote on the effort to alter the state's constitution and override the state Supreme Court's decision on November 4, when they cast votes in the presidential election. Obama's Republican rival, John McCain, endorsed the measure last week.

The California court's decision made the state the second after Massachusetts to allow same-sex marriages and the first to offer to marry gay couples from outside the state. The marriages began on June 16.

Obama said he favors extending "fully equal rights and benefits to same sex couples under both state and federal law" in the letter, posted on the Web site of the Alice B. Toklas Lesbian Gay Bisexual Transgender Democratic Club of San Francisco.

CBNews
This past week he sent a letter to the Lesbian Gay Bisexual Transgender Democratic Club where he congratulated those in California who recently got married. He also lays out his gay rights agenda.

Read the letter below:

"Dear Friends,
Thank you for the opportunity to welcome everyone to the Alice B. Toklas LGBT Democratic Club's Pride Breakfast and to congratulate you on continuing a legacy of success, stretching back thirty-six years. As one of the oldest and most influential LGBT organizations in the country, you have continually rallied to support Democratic candidates and causes, and have fought tirelessly to secure equal rights and opportunities for LGBT Americans in California and throughout the country.

As the Democratic nominee for President, I am proud to join with and support the LGBT community in an effort to set our nation on a course that recognizes LGBT Americans with full equality under the law. That is why I support extending fully equal rights and benefits to same sex couples under both state and federal law. That is why I support repealing the Defense of Marriage Act and the "Don't Ask Don't Tell" policy, and the passage of laws to protect LGBT Americans from hate crimes and employment discrimination. And that is why I oppose the divisive and discriminatory efforts to amend the California Constitution, and similar efforts to amend the U.S. Constitution or those of other states.

For too long. issues of LGBT rights have been exploited by those seeking to divide us. It's time to move beyond polarization and live up to our founding promise of equality by treating all our citizens with dignity and respect. This is no less than a core issue about who we are as Democrats and as Americans.

Finally, I want to congratulate all of you who have shown your love for each other by getting married these last few weeks. My thanks again to the Alice B. Toklas LGBT Democratic Club for allowing me to be a part of today's celebration. I look forward to working with you in the coming months and years, and I wish you all continued success.

Sincerely,
Barack Obama"

Mrs. Obama attempted to link the civil rights movement with the gay rights movement:

"“We are all only here because of those who marched and bled and died, from Selma to Stonewall, in the pursuit of a more perfect union,” she said at the event, held days before the anniversary of the 1969 Stonewall riots between gays and New York police, and the city’s annual gay pride parade.

“The world as it is should be one that rejects discrimination of all kinds,” she said.

Touting her husband’s record pushing for workplace discrimination legislation as an Illinois state senator and his support of civil unions, Obama noted her husband also had brought a call for equality to conservative groups, telling churchgoers they need to combat homophobia in the black community."

Obama to rename Bush's faith office

The White House views the office as one of the cornerstone's of Bush's legacy, making Obama's vow a very personal one.

Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.) plans to slam President Bush’s faith-based program as “a photo op” and a failure on Tuesday, and says he would scrap the office and create a new Council for Faith-Based and Neighborhood Partnerships that would be a “critical” part of his administration.
Obama, unveiling a plan to overhaul and expand Bush’s faith-based program during remarks at a community ministry in Zanesville, Ohio, said the White House Office of Community and Faith-Based Initiatives — which Bush founded during his second week in office — “never fulfilled its promise.”

“Support for social services to the poor and the needy have been consistently underfunded,” Obama says in prepared remarks. “Rather than promoting the cause of all faith-based organizations, former officials in the Office have described how it was used to promote partisan interests. As a result, the smaller congregations and community groups that were supposed to be empowered ended up getting short-changed.”

Wild Thing's comment........

All of this makes me dizzy the way he is truly on a roll of what his plans are, what he and his wife are up to. WHEW!

There is just no way America can survive this couple. It is still recovering from the Clinton's being in power.

"Mr. Obama, you, sir, are diabolical"

This is from the Official Obama Criticizer Bo Snerdley at Rush Lim baugh site and radio show.

This is Bo Snerdley, the Official Barack Criticizer for the EIB Network -- medically certified with highly concentrated levels of slave blood, certified to criticize -- and I have a statement. Mr. Obama, since your rise on the political stage, you and your handlers have crafted an image that depicts you as a unique politician, one that can bridge the divides of our nation with your exuberant charisma, your fresh face, and your unifying outlook. You, we were told, would transcend the old politics and usher in a new era. The blood sport political games of the Beltway would give way to a new politic where dreams come true and hope prevails. You would be that line, sir, in the sand from the old of bitter division, to the new America, with liberty and justice for all. "Yes, you can. Yes, we can." Instead, we've seen nothing new. Your policy offerings, vague as they are, reflect standard tax, spend, tax 'em more Democrat policies -- and your brand of politics, sir, is a swarmy, cutthroat, and sleazy as any Democrat who has ever run. The attack by your minion, Wesley Clark, on the war record of John McCain is just the latest.

Mr. Obama, you, sir, are diabolical.

You, sir, have sent your minion, Wesley Clark, out with a scorched-earth policy, to take no prisoners, not even a genuine war hero, a genuine prisoner of war. Sir, you lead an anti-war party that hates American victory in our present war and still shows no respect for our soldiers of past wars. You don't represent change. You don't represent hope. You're not new. Sir, you are just another liberal Democrat. And now, a translation for our EIB brothers and sisters in the 'hood. "'Rack! Dig this, bro. You know up 'til now we've been kind of laying in the cut on you, you know, letting a whole lot of stuff go, but check this out. Yo, you are tripping on what. Come on, money. You gonna send out that old fool, Wesley Clark, to slice and dice McCain? McCain was fighting in Nam, yo homey. What were you doing? You were out chilling with the shorties, playing ball, you know, smoking a little herb. John was in prison camp, yo, being Abu Ghraibed by the Vietcong, man. And now you send out the ain't-never-won-nothing, wannabe president whack-ass general to diss him? What's up with that, man? This is ill! You ain't representing, yo. You could talk all that patriotic stuff you want to, yo, but man you diss guys have been there, man, that did the fight? This is the kind of thing the Clintons used to run, man. What's up with chu? Clinton was supposed to be the first black president. What are you trying to be, man, the first black Clinton? What's up with that? Word, man. You need to let it up, man. Call your dogs back in and refresh up, yo, because this is not how you win the game. If those punk ass Republicans had any kind of juice, yo, they would fry you on this, you know what I'm saying? You, bro, are ill. This is whack!" And that concludes our statement.

Weasel Clark Just Can't Stop

This was yesterday on MSNBC. This man is nuts, he just can't stop and he makes no sense at all. He again says he believes Obama has better judgment. LOL

Wild Thing's comment........

Obama doesn't choose his friends well. And he doesn't have the ability to control his supporters. What makes anyone think he can assemble a team for the executive branch and then lead that team in any cohesive fashion?
Empty suit. Unqualified. Dangerous.

Thank You Letter from Obama

My fellow Americans:

As your future President I want to thank my supporters, for your mindless support of me, despite my complete lack of any legislative achievement, my pastor's relations with Louis Farrakhan and Libyan dictator Moamar Quadafi, or my blatantly leftist voting record while I present myself as some sort of bipartisan agent of change.

I also like how my supporters claim my youthful drug use and criminal behavior somehow qualifies me for the Presidency after 8 years of claiming Bush's youthful drinking disqualifies him. Your hypocrisy is a beacon of hope shining over a sea of political posing.

I would also like to thank the Kennedy's for coming out in support of me. There's a lot of glamour behind the Kennedy name, even though JFK started the Vietnam War, his brother Robert illegally wiretapped Martin Luther King, Jr. and Teddy killed a female employee with whom he was having an extra marital affair and who was pregnant with his child. And I'm not going anywhere near the cousins, both literally and figuratively. And I'd like to thank Oprah Winfrey for her support. Her love of meaningless empty platitudes will be the force that propels me to the White House.

Americans should vote for me, not because of my lack of experience or achievement , but because I make people feel good. Voting for me causes some white folk to feel relieved of their imagined, racist guilt. I say things that sound meaningful, but don't really mean anything because Americans are tired of things having meaning. If things have meaning, then that means you have to think about them.

Americans are tired of thinking. It's time to shut down the brain, and open up the heart. So when you go to vote, remember don't think, just do. And do it for me.

Thank You.
Barack Hussein Obama, Jr.

For any liberal, leftie, Democrat, Obama freak this is obviously not written by Obama. So lighten up!

....Thank you BobF for sending this.

Obama Didn't Repudiate Clark's Comments

Townhall blog

Day three of the Clark controversy, and things keep getting more and more interesting.

Today, Barack Obama is apparently denying that his own speech yesterday in Ohio -- where we all assumed he was specifically repudiating Clark's comments -- was, in fact, aimed at Gen. Clark.

Here is what Obama had to say today:

"... I notice that I think in at least one publication it was reported that my comments yesterday about Senator McCain were in a response to General Clark. I think my staff will confirm that was in a draft of that speech that I had written two months ago."

... Aside from the fact that this is now very, very odd and confusing, today, Obama also seemed to not understand why these comments caused such an uproar in the first place:

REPORTER: "Do you not feel that General Clark owes John McCain an apology?"

BARACK OBAMA: "I guess my question is why, given all the vast numbers of things that we got to work on, that that would be a top priority of mine ...?

John Kerry Once Again “Reporting for duty” ~ Trashes Col. Bud Day Over Swift Vets

Kerry Trashes Col. Bud Day and Swift Boat Veterans

Sources:

huffington

Failed 2004 Democratic presidential nominee Sen. John Kerry (Mass.) lashed out today at the most decorated living American serviceman, Col. Bud Day, who was awarded the Medal Honor for his heroism as a POW during the Vietnam War.

Kerry attacked Day for his role in the McCain Truth Squad (a new effort by presumptive Republican presidential candidate John McCain to defend his military service from criticism) because of Day's participation in the Swift Vets and POWs for Truth (SBVT) 2004 campaign which criticized Kerry's service in Vietnam as a junior naval officer and his actions protesting the war when he returned home. The scathing attacks by the SBVT and Kerry's weak response are widely credited with sinking his candidacy.

In a McCain Truth Squad conference call with reporters today, Day defended the SBVT, saying, "The Swift Boat attacks were simply a revelation of the truth, the similarity does not exist here. What the Swift Boat campaign was about was to lay out John Kerry's record. John Kerry has never produced any evidence to deny that. We are producing the evidence of these attacks right now to show that those remarks were completely inaccurate."

Kerry responded with a statement to the press: "Colonel Day's comments today only further highlight the McCain campaign's disregard for a new kind of politics. John McCain condemned these kinds of attacks in 2004 when he called the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth 'dishonest and dishonorable.' Senator McCain should condemn these remarks and cut ties with the Colonel and anyone else connected to SBVT. Day's comments only serve to disparage all those who served on swift boats in Vietnam."

Day, incidentally, differed from McCain regarding ithe Swift Boat Veterans. The Arizona Republican was among the first to condemn the Swift Boat ads, calling one "dishonest and dishonorable."

Kerry served in Vietnam for a few months.

Day was held prisoner of war by the North Vietnamese from 1967-1973. McCain and Day were cellmates at the Hanoi Hilton.

Wild Thing's comment........

On the day that Obama gives his (I am too a patriot) speech, we get Obama's surrogates defending Clarks insinuations that McCains war service is inconsequential and now Kerry deriding Bud Day of all people.

Good God, who's next on the dem hit parade? Eisenhower? Patton?

Kerry, I would submit, is another good reason to legalize dueling again.

Looking At Wesley Clark The Certified Jerk!

In an interview with CBS' Bob Schieffer, Wesley Clark , the former NATO commander had the brass to question McCain's military credentials while trivializing his experience as a combat pilot and prisoner of war.

"He hasn't been there and ordered the bombs to fall" as a wartime commander, Clark told Schieffer. When Schieffer noted that McCain had been shot down over Hanoi, Clark responded: "I don't think riding in a fighter plane and getting shot down is a qualification to be president."

When a visibly shocked Shieffer asked what Obama's command credentials were, Clark said Obama was running on the strength of his character and judgment.

Clark's own character, judgment and command experience are also open to question. While commanding NATO troops in defense of Muslim Kosovo and against Serbian Christians, for example, the hot-headed Clark commanded a subordinate British general to attack Russian troops that had landed without NATO permission at the airport in Kosovo's capital. President Clinton and Defense Secretary William Cohen soon removed Clark, months ahead of schedule.

Obama, who has been more eager to meet with Iran's Mahmoud Ahmadinejad than with Gen. David Petraeus, was wrong about Iraq and the surge. So was Clark.

Rand Beers, who served as the top national security adviser to the 2004 Kerry campaign, said that because McCain was in an unfortunate state of "isolation" during much of the Vietnam War, he missed the domestic turmoil that took place in the U.S. and his national security experience is "sadly limited" as a result.

Now let's take a look at Wesley Clark

This bozo was fired as the U.S. military commander in Europe. Clark’s firing included charges of lying.

Jim Geraghty of NRO today puts it succinctly: From one of my favorite articles, a profile of Clark: "Interviews with a wide variety of current and retired military officials reveal that Clark was disliked by only three groups: Those whom ranked above him in the chain of command whom he ignored, his peers at the same rank whom he lied to, and those serving beneath him whom he micromanaged."

And this is from Frontpage

Like Bill Clinton, Wesley was a Rhodes Scholar at Oxford. While Clinton spent his time in sexual dalliances (and one alleged rape) and leading anti-American demonstrations in Europe and visiting the Kremlin in the dead of winter by special invitation, Clark was more studious. In August 1968 he emerged with a Master’s Degree in philosophy, politics and economics.

The Rhodes Scholarships had been set up by British imperialist Cecil Rhodes to educate the brightest American youngsters in England, a once-secret codicil in his will made clear, so that they would go home and help bring America back under the political sway of the British Empire.

Wesley Clark’s career in the U.S. military was solid but not stellar. It included a variety of backwater assignments as well as one high point, White House Fellow 1975-76.

But an unexpected bolt from the blue suddenly ignited Clark’s life, turning mediocrity into a skyrocket ride that could yet land him in the Oval Office. He was named Commander of the 1st Cavalry Division, III Corps, at sweltering Fort Hood southwest of Waco, Texas.

On a late winter day in 1993, Texas Governor Ann Richards suddenly called the base, later meeting with Clark’s Number Two to discuss an urgent matter. Crazies at a Waco compound had killed Federal agents. If newly-sworn-in President Bill Clinton signed a waiver setting aside the Posse Comitatus Act, which generally prohibits the military from using its arms against American citizens within our borders, could Fort Hood supply tanks and other equipment?

Clinton did. Wesley Clark’s command at Fort Hood “lent” 17 pieces of armor and 15 active service personnel under his command to the Waco Branch Davidian operation. It is absolute fact that the military equipment used by the government at Waco came from Fort Hood and Clark’s command.

The only issue debated by experts is whether Clark was at Waco in person to help direct the assault against the church compound in a scene remarkably similar to the incineration of villagers in a church by the British in Mel Gibson’s movie “The Patriot.”

What happened at Waco was the death, mostly by fire, of at least 82 men, women and children, including two babies who died after being “fire aborted” from the dying bodies of their pregnant mothers.

Planning for this final assault involved a meeting between Clinton Attorney General Janet Reno and two military officers who developed the tactical plan used but who have never been identified.

Some evidence and analysis suggests that Wesley Clark was one of these two who devised what happened at Waco.

As Leftist journalists Alexander Cockburn and Jeffrey St. Clair noted, the ruthless tactics and attitude on display at Waco are strikingly similar to those Clark has used on other battlefields in his career.

Odd, isn’t it, that the Leftist establishment press has told you nothing about the connection between General Wesley Clark and Waco – or what happened to him immediately after the service he rendered the Clintons at Waco?

Immediately after Waco, Wesley Clark’s flat career began an incredible meteoric rise.

In April 1994 he was promoted to Director of Strategic Plans and Policy for the Joint Chiefs of Staff.

In June 1996 Clark was named Commander in Chief of the U.S. Southern Command in Panama and put in charge of most U.S. forces in all of Latin America and the Caribbean.

In June 1997 President Clinton appointed him Commander in Chief of the United States European Command and SACEUR, Supreme Allied Commander, Europe, in command of the forces of NATO, a position Clark would hold until May 2000.

As SACEUR General Wesley Clark would collect a truckload of honors. He would also prosecute Clinton’s war siding with Muslim Kosovars against Serbian Christians in the Balkans.

This war was largely fought from high altitude aircraft to minimize American casualties, an approach that increased civilian casualties on the ground. Clark soon acquired a reputation as someone who lied about such casualties, lies reported even by Time Magazine.

Democrats who support Howard Dean or Dennis Kucinich for their anti-war stance should know that when Russians landed and took over one provincial airport in the region, General Clark commanded British forces to attack the Russians. British General Sir Mike Jackson reportedly refused, saying: “I’m not going to start the Third World War for you!”

Col. David Hackworth about Gen. Wesley Clark, “he’s far more comfortable in a drawing room discussing political theories than hunkering down in the trenches where bullets fly and soldiers die.”

Clark’s nickname among soldiers under his command reportedly was “the Supreme Being.” And that was when Clark was only a general or even lower-ranking officer.

Clark and Michael Moore

Wild Thing's comment........

Wesley Clark is the kind of general you’d get if you allowed the New York Times editorial board to choose one.

Now a look at B. Hussein’s military record? Basic training in a madrassa in Indonesia.

From Hot Air:
"Let’s point out a few things about Barack Obama:
In “the matter of national security policy making.” Barack Obama hasn’t ever done anything.
In the matter of gauging your “opponents”, Obama wants to meet with them without preconditions despite having no national-security, military, or diplomatic experience.
Barack Obama hasn’t been on the Senate Armed Services Committee.
Barack Obama hasn’t had any executive experience.
Barack Obama hasn’t commanded anything, in wartime or not.
Barack Obama hasn’t dealt with diplomats in any capacity at all.
Barack Obama hasn’t ordered the bombs to fall, although to be fair, he has associated himself with someone who has — William Ayers. "

Obama Supporters Take His Middle Name as Their Own

Obama volunteers from Columbus, Ohio, who have adopted the middle name Hussein include J. T. Marcum, left, Aaron Barclay, Alex Enderle, Norm Shoemaker and Chelsey McCune. They use the name on the Internet and in greeting one another.

Obama Supporters Take His Middle Name as Their Own

Emily Nordling has never met a Muslim, at least not to her knowledge. But this spring, Ms. Nordling, a 19-year-old student from Fort Thomas, Ky., gave herself a new middle name on Facebook.com, mimicking her boyfriend and shocking her father.

Emily Hussein Nordling,” her entry now reads.

With her decision, she joined a growing band of supporters of Senator Barack Obama, the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee, who are expressing solidarity with him by informally adopting his middle name.

The result is a group of unlikely-sounding Husseins: Jewish and Catholic, Hispanic and Asian and Italian-American, from Jaime Hussein Alvarez of Washington, D.C., to Kelly Hussein Crowley of Norman, Okla., to Sarah Beth Hussein Frumkin of Chicago.

Jeff Strabone of Brooklyn now signs credit card receipts with his newly assumed middle name, while Dan O’Maley of Washington, D.C., jiggered his e-mail account so his name would appear as “D. Hussein O’Maley.” Alex Enderle made the switch online along with several other Obama volunteers from Columbus, Ohio, and now friends greet him that way in person, too.

Mr. Obama is a Christian, not a Muslim. Hussein is a family name inherited from a Kenyan father he barely knew, who was born a Muslim and died an atheist. But the name has become a political liability. Some critics on cable television talk shows dwell on it, while others, on blogs or in e-mail messages, use it to falsely assert that Mr. Obama is a Muslim or, more fantastically, a terrorist.

“I am sick of Republicans pronouncing Barack Obama’s name like it was some sort of cuss word,” Mr. Strabone wrote in a manifesto titled “We Are All Hussein” that he posted on his own blog and on dailykos.com.

So like the residents of Billings, Mont., who reacted to a series of anti-Semitic incidents in 1993 with a townwide display of menorahs in their front windows, these supporters are brandishing the name themselves.

“My name is such a vanilla, white-girl American name,” said Ashley Holmes of Indianapolis, who changed her name online “to show how little meaning ‘Hussein’ really has.”

The movement is hardly a mass one, and it has taken place mostly online, the digital equivalent of wearing a button with a clever, attention-getting message. A search revealed hundreds of participants across the country, along with a YouTube video and bumper stickers promoting the idea. Legally changing names is too much hassle, participants say, so they use “Hussein” on Facebook and in blog posts and comments on sites like nytimes.com, dailykos.com and mybarackobama.com, the campaign’s networking site.

“It’s one of those things that just takes off, because everybody got it right away,” said Stephanie Miller, a left-leaning comedian who blurted out the idea one day during a broadcast of her syndicated radio talk show and repeated it on CNN.

Ms. Miller and her fellow new Husseins are embracing the traditionally Muslim name even as the Obama campaign shies away from Muslim associations. Campaign workers ushered two women in head scarves out of a camera’s range at a rally this month in Detroit. (The campaign has apologized.) Aides canceled a December appearance on behalf of Mr. Obama by Representative Keith Ellison, a Minnesota Democrat and the first Muslim congressman.

Mr. Obama may be more enthusiastic, judging from his response at a Chicago fund-raiser two weeks ago. When he saw that Richard Fizdale, a longtime contributor, wore “Hussein” on his name tag, Mr. Obama broke into a huge grin, Mr. Fizdale said.

“The theory was, we’re all Hussein,” Mr. Obama said to the crowd later, explaining Mr. Fizdale’s gesture.

Some Obama supporters say they were moved to action because of what their own friends, neighbors and relatives were saying about their candidate. Mark Elrod, a political science professor at Harding University in Searcy, Ark., is organizing students and friends to declare their Husseinhood on Facebook on Aug. 4, Mr. Obama’s birthday.

Ms. Nordling changed her name after volunteering for Mr. Obama before the Kentucky primary.

“People would not listen to what you were saying on the phone or on their doorstep because they thought he was Muslim,” she said.

Ms. Nordling’s uncle liked the idea so much that he joined the same Facebook group that she had. But when her father saw her new online moniker, he was incredulous.

“He actually thought I was going to convert to Islam,” Ms. Nordling said.

Wild Thing's comment........

Absolute, mindless, idiots! Hussein Youth and even adults....anybody seen Dr. Mengele?

This may be the most pathetic, feckless, and fatuous development! The name readily identifies them as traitors and unimaginative, backward-thinking stooges, just like their namesake.

What is scary about this is this is step one, what is next, will they join Islam?????

This reminds me of the stupid white kids who rap and try to act black. And their parents let them which shows where they get their stupid from.

Just thinking about that it was also done in a movie.......remember this? hahha

This is funny I never realized there was this line in the movie.....

" " I don't think we'll make it past the cops"

" We'll make it past the cops, I just hope we don't see no Muslims"

( the double negative is the line in the film not mine haha)

Sami Al-Arian Support Found At B. Hussein Obama's Blog

From the official Barack Obama blog site features a piece by Ulf Erlingsson, PhD, pleading for people to support convicted Islamic Jihad kingpin Sami Al-Arian.

When one people is oppressed, all of us are oppressed. What you do to any one of these you do to me, Jesus said. So we are all Palestinians. This is about a prisoner in America fighting for the Palestinians:

Dr. Al-Arian Suspends Hunger Strike After 8 Weeks

VIRGINIA — Yesterday, on the 57th day of his hunger strike, Dr. Sami Al-Arian suspended his fast, at the urging of his family, friends and supporters. Dr. Al-Arian, who has lost more than 40 pounds, began the hunger strike on March 3 to protest continued harassment and abuse of power by the Justice Department. Early last week, as his blood pressure and blood sugar reached dangerously low levels, Dr. Al-Arian collapsed and lost consciousness at his cell in Hampton Roads Regional Jail and was then examined by a doctor.
Dr. Al Arian drank no water for the first 18 days of his fast. During his hunger strike, he was moved to five different facilities a half dozen times.

Dr. Al-Arian was supposed to have been released on April 7. Since April 14, he has been in total segregation, and living under harsh conditions. He is not allowed any visitors and is given only two phone calls a month. Though officials at Hampton Roads Regional Jail told Dr. Al-Arian his conditions would improve and he would be moved into the general population as soon as he began eating again, this has proven to be a lie. Dr. Al-Arian remains in segregation although he has been cleared medically. Please see the Action Alert below to demand that he
be treated humanely.

“Today Dr. Sami Al-Arian is an internationally recognized political prisoner in America Over the last two decades, his legendry struggle for the independence of Palestine has included five years of incarceration, which continues, and two extended hunger strikes for sixty days and fifty-seven days, respectively,” said Dr. Agha Saeed, chair of the American Muslim Taskforce on Civil Rights and Elections.

“Just as Dr. Martin Luther King and Malcolm X symbolized the struggle for human rights in the fifties and sixties, Dr. Sami Al Arian has come to symbolize the current struggle for human rights. I am one of those who had beseeched him to end his hunger strike and I am personally indebted to him for accepting our request.”

“Sami Al-Arian has put his own life on the line for human dignity, freedom, justice and peace,” said Muhammad Salim Akhtar, chairman of American Muslim Alliance Midwest Region. “His resilience at the cost of his own physical and mental suffering has become a source of strength for people of conscience and high morals to unite across borders.”

Wild Thing's comment..........

Note the date of their blog being put at Obama's Campaign website....April 30th. If they did not agree with what this blog entry is about regarding Sami Al-Arian they could always have taken it down.

Can you imagine a Presidential candidate after the attack at Pearl Harbor having connections like this to the enemy of our country? Obama sure does and one is too many and he has had MANY of them.

Hussein Obama Going Abroad ~ Trying To Kiss Up To Troops

Obama Abroad

ABC News has learned that in mid-July, Sen. Barack Obama, D-Illinois, will travel to Iraq, Afghanistan, the UK, France and Germany.

The presumptive Democratic presidential nominee visited Iraq once before, in 2006. He will be visiting Iraq and Afghanistan along with a congressional delegation.

He will follow the trip to those two war-torn countries with a separate European sojourn.

Wild Thing's comment........

Our soldiers don’t need to see this marxist, communist, socialist jerk.

Well we know he will swoon when he hears the Islam call to prayer while he is there. GRRRRRRRRRRR

B.Hussein Obama And The Second Amendment

RNC Ad: Obama And The 2nd Amendment

The right to bear arms is one of the fundamental ideals on which our nation was founded.

Hardworking, law-abiding Americans have for generations enjoyed this freedom in their communities and with their families.

But Barack Obama believes that many Americans simply 'cling' to guns in times of economic distress. Speaking behind closed doors to an audience of San Francisco donors Barack Obama said "they cling to guns or religion .... as a way to explain their frustrations"

Obama's anti-gun record is long.

In 2004, he voted against legislation drafted to protect homeowners from prosecution in cases where they used a firearm to halt a home invasion.

In 2003, he voted in support of legislation that would have effectively banned most of the privately held hunting shotguns, target rifles, and black powder rifles in Illinois.

And in 1996, Obama supported a ban on the manufacture, sale and possession of handguns.

But now Obama's running for President and claims no knowledge of this, even though his handwriting is all over it.

Barack Obama: Out of touch with American values. Not ready to lead.

Communist Party USA Endorses (CPUSA) Obama

"The American people will never knowingly adopt socialism. But, under the name of 'liberalism,' they will adopt every fragment of the socialist program, until one day America will be a socialist nation, without knowing how it happened." - Norman Thomas, U.S. Socialist Party presidential candidate 1940, 1944 and 1948

Obama Gets The Communists

Seattle Examiner

It's one thing when Obama, the Democrats' standard bearer to be, is identified as the most liberal senator. It is something else, something quite extreme, when Obama is recognized as the darling of the Communist Party USA.

That's right, Joelle Fishman -- chair of the Communist Party USA Political Action Commission and the Connecticut Communist Party -- backs Obama.

Perhaps it is no surprise. After all, except for public financing of campaigns, Obama's positions are very similar to those of the Communist Party USA:

Among the points in the party's "Immediate Program" are a $12/hour minimum wage; for all workers, universal health care, and opposition to privatization of Social Security; economic measures such as increased taxes on "the rich and corporations," strong regulation of the financial industry, "regulation and public ownership of utilities," and increased federal aid to cities and states; opposition to the Iraq War and other military interventions; opposition to free trade treaties such as NAFTA; nuclear disarmament and a reduced military budget; various civil rights provisions; campaign finance reform including public financing of campaigns; and election law reform, including Instant Runoff Voting.

Wild Thing's comment........

No surprise actually, since most of the Democrat politicans are member of this. Howard Dean, Pelosi, the list is long . He is already endorsed by so many anti-American, and terrorists groups, this just adds another one to the list.
What a mess all this is and regarding Obama very scary for sure.

LOL Egomaniac Obama Pulls Presidential Seal!

Obama Pulls New Presidential Seal

That was a one-time thing for a one-time event,” Robert Gibbs asserted to CNN about the rather intricately designed seal that made its debut last Friday.

The new seal was unveiled on Obama's podium when he spoke to a group of Democratic governors.

The Latin phrase "E Pluribus Unum," which translates to "Out of many, one," was replaced with "Vero Possumus," which translates to "Truly, we are able" — a rough translation of the Obama campaign slogan "Yes we can."

The deletion of "E Pluribus Unum," long considered the de-facto motto of the United States, is not accidental for multiculturalists, who have long denigrated the concept that immigrants must strip away their old culture in favor of the "oneness" of American civilization.

And CNN reported that Obama was not simply facing critics from the right, but also from some left-wing supporters who did not like his new and improved seal.

“Many wondered whether a seal — with Latin phrasing no less — was the best idea for a candidate fighting for the working-class vote and trying to fend off allegations of elitism,” CNN reported.

Wild Thing's comment.........

They are now saying they designed that seal for a one-time use at a one-time event. And they intended that it not be used again. LMAO..... Sure sorry I don't believe things coming out of the mouth of a lilberal(s) . Nev-ah!

They got called on it. Damage control just like Jeremiah Wright.

I’m surprised he did not release the statement “This is not the seal I knew before...” !!!!

Hey Obama ~ "Oh, what a tangled web we weave, when first we practice to deceive"

Obama Apology to Muslim Women Orchestrated by Muslim U.S. House Rep.(Keith Ellison)

An apology issued by Barack Obama to two Muslim women booted from the front lines of a public appearance by the Democratic presidential candidate last week was orchestrated by Rep. Keith Ellison, the first Muslim ever elected to Congress.

Multiple congressional sources confirm that it was Ellison, D-Minn., who confronted Obama over the issue during a meeting with the Congressional Black Caucus.

Obama called the women to apologize after two volunteers with the campaign removed the women from the stage area behind the location where Obama would be speaking. The volunteers allegedly told the women it was because they were wearing traditional Muslim scarves.

Sources told FOX News that it was Ellison who raised the issue of the alleged impropriety with Obama and provided the prospective nominee with the women’s phone numbers.

One key lawmaker who was present described the exchange between Obama and Ellison as “cordial” but “direct.”

Another source familiar with the exchange added that many members of the CBC supported Ellison and said “it was an issue that needed to be addressed.

However, congressional sources indicated that Ellison’s exchange with Obama was so intense that CBC Chairwoman Carolyn Cheeks Kilpatrick, D-Mich., had to intervene and attempted to gavel down Ellison.

In conversations with other media outlets, Ellison has been critical of Obama campaign efforts to distance the candidate from Islam. Ellison has also intimated that the campaign has cancelled campaign events because of the potential of linking Obama with him, the most-senior Muslim in the federal government.

LOL then there is this!

Muslim Voters Detect a Snub From Obama

As Senator Barack Obama courted voters in Iowa last December, Representative Keith Ellison, the country’s first Muslim congressman, stepped forward eagerly to help.

Mr. Ellison ...volunteered to speak on Mr. Obama’s behalf at a mosque in Cedar Rapids, one of the nation’s oldest Muslim enclaves. But before the rally could take place, aides to Mr. Obama asked Mr. Ellison to cancel the trip because it might stir controversy. Another aide appeared at Mr. Ellison’s Washington office to explain.

“I will never forget the quote,” Mr. Ellison said, leaning forward in his chair as he recalled the aide’s words. “He said, ‘We have a very tightly wrapped message.’ ”

When Mr. Obama began his presidential campaign, Muslim Americans from California to Virginia responded with enthusiasm, seeing him as a long-awaited champion of civil liberties, religious tolerance and diplomacy in foreign affairs. But more than a year later, many say, he has not returned their embrace.

While the senator has visited churches and synagogues, he has yet to appear at a single mosque.

Muslim and Arab-American organizations have tried repeatedly to arrange meetings with Mr. Obama, but officials with those groups say their invitations — unlike those of their Jewish and Christian counterparts — have been ignored. Last week, two Muslim women wearing head scarves were barred by campaign volunteers from appearing behind Mr. Obama at a rally in Detroit.

In interviews, Muslim political and civic leaders said they understood that their support for Mr. Obama could be a problem for him at a time when some Americans are deeply suspicious of Muslims. Yet those leaders nonetheless expressed disappointment and even anger at the distance that Mr. Obama has kept from them.

“This is the ‘hope campaign,’ this is the ‘change campaign,’ ” said Mr. Ellison, Democrat of Minnesota. Muslims are frustrated, he added, that “they have not been fully engaged in it.”

...on a new section of his Web site, he classifies the claim that he is Muslim as a “smear.”

“A lot of us are waiting for him to say that there’s nothing wrong with being a Muslim, by the way,” Mr. Ellison said

Some Muslim supporters of Mr. Obama seem to ricochet between dejection and optimism. Minha Husaini, a public health consultant in her 30s who is working for the Obama campaign in Philadelphia, lights up like a swooning teenager when she talks about his promise for change.

“He gives me hope,” Ms. Husaini said in an interview last month, shortly before she joined the campaign on a fellowship. But she sighed when the conversation turned to his denials of being Muslim, “as if it’s something bad,” she said.

Wild Thing's comment........

Wherever there are Muslims, there are also the elements of chaos, anarchy and destruction. The core of the campaign is the introduction of communism to our system of government. The message is tightly wrapped because it's hidden and tagged "Do Not Open until Jan 2009".

LOL Keith Ellison just might get thrown under the bus with the others. heh heh

About the women that Obama offended:

"The two Muslim women are pro-radical Muslim activists. Hebba Aref, was an official of the Muslim Students Association (MSA), in charge of proselytizing. The Chicago Tribune identified the MSA as part of the American manifestation of the Sunni terrorist group, Al-Ikhwan Al-Muslimeen--The Muslim Brotherhood. Aref served on the executive board of the University of Michigan-Dearborn's MSA, which demanded and obtained tax-funded Muslim foot baths at that university,

Shimaa Abdelfadeel, the other woman allegedly excluded by the Obama campaign, was chair of SAFE, a University of Michigan-Ann Arbor group that hosted the 2002 Divestment Conference against Israel at which "Annihilate the Jews!" was chanted and Islamic Jihad founder Sami Al-Arian was keynote speaker. She's the author of vehement anti-Israel propaganda. "

Toy Maker Makes Obama Doll

Trend Hunter Magazine

Apparently, the Democratic presidential hopeful Barack Obama is a rock star in Germany. So German expert toymaker Marcel Offermann decided to create a doll in the likeness of the junior senator from Illinois.

The 14-inch doll is rocking a black suit, complete with a Stars-and-Stripes lapel pin, a white shirt and sky-blue tie. This collector’s doll is available in a limited edition of 999 and it is priced at a hefty €139 ($216).

Offermann, who admits to being an admirer of Obama, has made dolls of public figures such as German Chancellor Angela Merkel, Pope Benedict XVI and the Dalai Lama.

Wild Thing's comment........

Limited edition of 999???

OK, tell me that’s not to be read upside down.

As a critique of the doll I think it needs a different set of ears.

My Memo To Obama Who Insists On Playing The Race Card

Obama Suggests GOP Will Use Race to Scare Voters

B.Hussein Obama's Logo New Look of Presidential Seal?

Barack Obama told a group of Florida donors Friday night that Republicans will try to make voters afraid of him, and suggested they would use his race to scare up votes for John McCain.

Apparently girding for a nasty general election fight, the Illinois senator has in recent days predicted that independent GOP groups are waiting in the wings to attack him, and said his presumptive GOP rival is already “fear-mongering” when it comes to foreign policy.

But his comments Friday night in Jacksonville, Fla., seemed to reflect elevated concerns that his campaign to be the first black president would run headlong into political race baiters.

“We know what kind of campaign they’re going to run. They’re going to try to make you afraid,” Obama said at the fundraiser. “They’re going to try to make you afraid of me. He’s young and inexperienced and he’s got a funny name. And did I mention he’s black? He’s got a feisty wife.”

The crowd of supporters cheered, and Obama added:

“We know the strategy because they’ve already shown their cards. Ultimately I think the American people recognize that old stuff hasn’t moved us forward. That old stuff just divides us.”

He said Republicans would be unable to run on the economy or foreign policy, so the election would ultimately boil down to a choice between “hope and fear.”

His “feisty wife” comment was probably a reference to a Tennessee GOP ad that criticized Michelle Obama for saying in February that she was proud of her country for the first time.

Obama mentioned the ad Friday afternoon at a press conference, where he defended his announcement the day before that he was backing out of the public financing system for the general election. He expects to raise more money on his own, in part to defend himself against independent GOP attack groups.

While there is no imminent, large-scale threat from so-called “527″ groups — such as the “Swift Boat Veterans for Truth” group that attacked John Kerry in 2004 — Obama said they’re waiting for him.

“527’s pop up pretty quickly and have enormous influence and we’ve seen them,” he said. “I don’t think that I am off the wall here to see that … a lot of outside groups that are potentially going to be going after us hard.”

The presumptive Democratic nominee, though, has faced down a viral whisper campaign, carried out through anonymous e-mails and Web site postings, in which race and religion are front and center. Obama launched a new Web site to debunk the false attacks, some of which suggest he secretly is a Muslim, that his wife harbors racial angst against white people and that he is not patriotic.

Some of his detractors also have referred to him by his middle name, “Hussein,” though McCain usually condemns attempts to suggest he is Muslim.

The issue of race was repeatedly invoked during the primary campaign against Hillary Clinton. Bill Clinton was criticized for comparing his win in the South Carolina primary to Jesse Jackson’s victory 20 years ago. Pennsylvania Gov. Ed Rendell told an editorial board that some white voters just wouldn’t support Obama because he’s black. Another supporter, Geraldine Ferraro, said Obama was seeing such success because of his race.

Wild Thing's comment........

That does it, now your going to get it full force Obama!

Obama bases his entire campaign on racism!!!

Damn all this dweep does is whine, whine, whine. I am soooooo sick of it. I have yet to see any blog including this one say we don't like this twit because he is black.

MY MEMO TO BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA:

Hey Obama listen up you idiot! It is what you stand for, it is your associations, it is your lies, it is what you have planned for our awesome country and how you want to destroy it.

It is that your CHANGE means one thing...take down America to YOUR Marxist level that has never worked in all of history. You are a communist, Marxist, socialist !!

America is NOT broken but you keep insisting it is. Do YOU think people, decent people not the hand out gimmie people, but those of us that are the ones that work hard, pay our taxes, vote and love our country want to hear their country being put down day after day that it is broken when it has been the most awesome country in the world until power hungry weak leaders got voted in and allowed PC and the left to win their agenda.

I could care less if you THINK you are black you are NOT, that is yet another lie from YOU Obama. You had a white mother that you try just ever so hard to degrade. You are a shameful human being that expects to do whatever you want, lie as much as you like and attempt to manipulate all around you, and American citizens with your don't hate me because I am black bullshit! Well that won't fly, that dog won't hunt or whatever expression you will understand. You are pathetic!

And about your middle name you FOOL. Hussein IS your middle name and if someone wants to mention it tuff. You should have taken your middle name in to consideration when your ego decided to run for President. Including your being Muslim growing up, your background and all the other things. You are either a total fool or a walking talking full blown idiot if you thought running for President would not put you through scrutiny like no other position held in our country. If Soros told you not to worry about it he lied to you. LOL When our country is done with you we will know more about you then you have known yourself believe me. You can deny it all you want but count on the information getting out sooner or later.

And one more thing! Regarding your hate monger wife. No one forced her to say what she did about America. NO ONE! The two of you not wanting to be responsible for saying such things is just so typical of how all of you on the left think you can live your lives. But this blog is Theodore's World and the posts are PC Free Zone Gazette so this is a PC Free Zone got it???? We ( I ) don't stand for that kind of copping out baloney. I don't use words like "African America" ONLY American. And when your wife said these things:

First she said that only Obama can "fix America's broken soul."

And then this:

“For the first time in my adult life, I am proud of my country,” she told a Milwaukee crowd, “because it feels like hope is making a comeback.”

She has to learn to be smart enough to know it was just begging for any American loving person to say something. To defend OUR country that we love. By saying what she did she made it very clear that our Founding Fathers, WW1, WW11, Korean War, Vietnam War etc. mean nothing to her. That the reason she lives in the land of the free and what it cost mean nothing to her including the lives that were lost to end slavery that Blacks mind you started!

Michelle Obama, your wife's world is very small just like her character and yours. A world that only cares about how as a black one will be treated today. Get out of the way of yourselves you people, there is a whole world out there you can make a difference in. Look at the life of Cindy McCain. She has made a HUGE difference in this world and she could have sat back, enjoyed the good life and done nothing. Everything Michelle has done has been in conjunction to the race card and your book was the same thing Barrack! And NOW your campaign follows suit!

Education for you so listen up. When I was a child and all through highschool and college age. My family had a yard man, his name was Walter Strong. He was 6'4, heavily muscled, loved to work outside and was a hard worker. A man of high character, a good husband, his wife was a nurse at one of the hospitals where I grew up, and father to 4 children. He grew up in Tennessee before moving to Illinois. Walter's family had picked cotton before he was born and after. He wanted more for his life and he pursued it. Walter was as black as night with a smile that would light up a room. He loved to hunt raccoon and possum in our woods surrounding our home on his days off. We loved him like a family member and he knew it. My Dad would get him nice suits and shop for clothes at Christmas time. We would take bags of groceries to his spotless home at Thanksgiving as a thank you for being a good person and for all the extras he did as a yard man for us throughout the year.

My Dad has an old Army Wiley jeep and Walter used it to pull the big mover blades to mow the bigger lawn behind our home. Many times he would pick me up from school and we would stop and get popsicles at a corner market at the end of the winding road back to my parents home. This is important to point out because it speaks volumes as to how much this man, Walter Strong, could be trusted. To pick me up, a child and be trusted with my care like that. In today's world that means even more then it did back then.

Once in a conversation to my dad, Walter commented on how he did not understand the"Negroes " he knew. That is how he put it. He said, " Mister Henry, I am a black man and that is what I am. I take care of my family and I do my work, but some are not happy that are like me and are angry. I just hope my children do not grow up to learn anger. I want them to be happy. And this name of Black gold the negroes want to use confuses me. Black gold? "

My Dad told him not to worry, that his (Walter's) influence on them was rich with hope and love for this country. That he set the finest example of all as a Father and that would be carried on by his children as they grew up." Walter smiled his huge warm smile and went back to what he was doing. I remember that moment in time as if it was yesterday. There was a oneness between my Dad and Walter, two Fathers that love their family and want the best for them. Two Fathers that love America and don't want a world of anger and hyphenated people with labels. Two that knew that character counts.

Obama you have none of this that Walter had. Your actions, writings, words, speeches and whine tell the rest of us all we need to know.

America the citizens that are awake and seeing what is happening don't want a Marxist like you for President and it would not matter if you were orange with purple stripes, race if it is there with some people I am sure is at the bottom of the list.

Because of your racism, you Obama stand to hurt black people who actually do have the potential to be good leaders in the future with your (you hate me because I am black and stop picking on my wife and I) Obama.

It is time to wake up and smell the roses homeboy. Is that a word you can understand better? Because we can go there if that is all you understand believe me! But remember this....YOU chose the game, you brought the deck of cards to the game and you dealt the hand. And we on the right are sitting here with a Full House so live with it.

Shame on you Obama and the example you set for your children and as a representative of our country. You want to make it black and white and that won't happen. It is red, white and blue and I pray it stays that way.

Considering VP With Obama ~ Chuck Hagel

Stevie Wonder - "You Haven't Done Nothin"

You Haven't Done Nothing"

We are amazed but not amused
By all the things you say that you'll do
Though much concerned but not involved
With decisions that are made by you

But we are sick and tired of hearing your song
Telling how you are gonna change right from wrong
'Cause if you really want to hear our views
"You haven't done nothing"!

It's not too cool to be ridiculed
But you brought this upon yourself
The world is tired of pacifiers
We want the truth and nothing else

And we are sick and tired of hearing your song
Telling how you are gonna change right from wrong
'Cause if you really want to hear our views
"You haven't done nothing"!

Jackson 5 join along with me say
Doo doo wop - hey hey hey
Doo doo wop - wow wow wow
Doo doo wop - co co co
Doo doo wop - naw naw naw
Doo doo wop - bum bum bum
Doo doo wop

We would not care to wake up to the nightmare
That's becoming real life
But when mislead who knows a person's mind
Can turn as cold as ice un hum

Why do you keep on making us hear your song
Telling us how you are changing right from wrong
'Cause if you really want to hear our views
"You haven't done nothing"!
Yeah

Republican Sen. Chuck Hagel said he'd consider an offer to serve as Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama's running mate, if asked.

He said whoever the next president is, he will "have to bring this country together."

And this from a past news story:

According to Federal Election Commission records, Mrs. Hagel donated twice to Obama's campaign in February for a total contribution of $500. The contributions were first reported by the Washington Post

But Mrs. Hagel is acting on her own, said Mike Buttry, Sen. Hagel's chief of staff. In fact, Mrs. Hagel has contributed to a Democrat before. Last August, she donated $250 to Niki Tsongas, a Democrat and widow of Sen. Paul Tsongas of Massachusetts who was running to fill a vacant House seat from the state.

"Mrs. Hagel is a private citizen who is entitled to decide who she supports and how she supports them," Buttry said in a statement. "She has admired Mrs. Tsongas for many years, going back to the time when she was married to Senator Tsongas."

Wild Thing's comment........

LOL I can't help it, this is the craziest election ever! It feels like they are all MAD as in insane. hahaha They are!

Obama can have him if he wants him. hahaha

....Thank you Rhod for the link for the song!!! It is perfect for Obama and Hagel.

Begging To Be President ~ Obama's Version Of Presidential Seal

Presidential Seal Obama Substituting His Own Name on his version of the Presidential Seal

Wild Thing's comment........

Now we see it has even gone further with this Seal as you can see in the Video.

Isn't this the same type of sleezy mindgames that the Marxists engage in and a conscious attempt to manipulate people's thinking.

This man is the Devil and we are doomed if he gets to be President.

Obama is showing great disrespect for American voters who haven’t elected him to lead as yet. He hasn’t earned the seal. Spitting on American traditions will apparently be his first goal. It cheapens the symbolism of the Presidential Seal. He has no respect for the President of the United States nor the people of the United States.

President Reagan wouldn’t even remove his suit coat in the Oval Office out of respect.....B. Hussein, has attempted to turn the great seal into a ghetto vanity plate.

What's next, will Obama appear with a crown of thorns on his head????

This is not the first time Obama has done something like this. ON April 23 of this year I posted about the image he had at his campain website with photos to show how his campaguin has taken the Presidential Seal and did a make over of the seal. I felt it was wrong then and I still do.

Obama Says No To Public Financing ~ Next Is Fundraiser In China

Obama says, "the public financing of presidential elections as it exists today is broken"

Obama shuns public campaign funds

Obama has said he will not take public financing, allowing him to raise unlimited private funds in his campaign for the US presidency.

His decision means he will forgo more than $80m (£40.5m) that would have been available for him to fight Republican John McCain for the White House. Candidates who accept public money cannot raise funds from private donors. Mr Obama set records raising money for his campaign for the Democratic nomination during the primary contests.

The decision reverses his earlier promise to use the federal public financing system if his Republican rival also did so.

Obama campaign will hold two fundraising events in China.

washington post blog

The candidate himself won't be making an appearance. Instead, guests at the Bejing home of David Brooks, a Coca Cola executive there, will hear from two senior foreign policy fellows from the Brookings Institution who advise the Obama campaign, Ivo Daalder and Phil Gordon. If the June 17 appearance does not satisfy, American expatriates in China can hear the two foreign policy experts opine at an event on June 19 in Shanghai hosted by Ted Hornbein, an executive a Richco, a company that manufactures electronic components for cell phones and the like.

No rules prohibit fundraising abroad, so long as the donors are American citizens. And a number of the 2008 presidential contenders engaged in overseas fundraising during the past 16 months. McCain, for instance, held a March 20 luncheon at Spencer House -- the neo-classical home built for an ancestor of Diana, the late Princess of Wales -- "by kind permission of Lord Rothschild OM GBE and the Hon. Nathaniel Rothschild."

But Obama appears to have collected the most funds from overseas, at least $1.6 million, according to Federal Election Commission records. (McCain raised $196,000 from donors living abroad, the records show.) While McCain's contributions are centered largely in London, with a handful from Bermuda, the Obama funds have come from addresses as eclectic as Kabul, Dubai, Palermo, and Sydney.

Wild Thing's comment........

The promise of a liberal is worth as much as the promise of an islamist. I am really getting sick of hearing how everything is BROKEN from B. Hussein Obama.

I truly can't stand this slime!

Al-Qadhafi:"Obama Suffers Inferiority Complex...a Muslim..."

Libyan Leader Mu'ammar Al-Qadhafi: Obama Suffers Inferiority Complex That Might Make Him Behave "Whiter Than the White." He Should Be Proud of His African, Muslim Identity.

Following are excerpts from a public address delivered by Libyan Leader Mu'ammar Al-Qadhafi marking the anniversary of the U.S. air raid on Libya. The address aired on Al-Jazeera TV on June 11, 2008:

Mu'ammar Al-Qadhafi:

It has been proven that there is no democracy in [the U.S.]. Rather, it is a dictatorship no different than the dictatorships of Hitler, Napoleon, Mussolini, Genghis Khan, Alexander the Great, and the rest of the tyrants. In the days of crazy Reagan, the American president issued a presidential order to launch a war against Libya, for example, a presidential order to besiege Libya, a presidential order to boycott Libya, and so on. Is this a democracy or a dictatorship?

There are elections in America now. Along came a black citizen of Kenyan African origins, a Muslim, who had studied in an Islamic school in Indonesia. His name is Obama. All the people in the Arab and Islamic world and in Africa applauded this man. They welcomed him and prayed for him and for his success, and they may have even been involved in legitimate contribution campaigns to enable him to win the American presidency. But we were taken by surprise when our African Kenyan brother, who is an American national, made statements that shocked all his supporters in the Arab world, in Africa, and in the Islamic world. We hope that this is merely an elections "clearance sale," as they say in Egypt – in other words, merely an elections lie. As you know, this is the farce of elections – a person lies and lies to people, just so that they will vote for him, and afterwards, when they say to him: :"You promised this and that," he says: "No, this was just elections propaganda." This is the farce of democracy for you. He says: "This was propaganda, and you thought I was being serious. I was fooling you to get your votes."

Allah willing, it will turn out that this was merely elections propaganda. Obama said he would turn Jerusalem into the eternal capital of the Israelis. This indicates that our brother Obama is ignorant of international politics, and is not familiar with the Middle East conflict.

We thought he would say: "I have decided that if I win, I will monitor the Dimona nuclear plant, and the other WMDs in Israeli's possession." We expected him to make such a decision. He undoubtedly had this in mind. When he talked about Iran and its nuclear program, he undoubtedly had Dimona in mind. But when he was thinking about Dimona, he undoubtedly had the fate of former president Kennedy on his mind as well. Kennedy decided to monitor the Dimona nuclear plant. He insisted on doing so, in order to determine whether or not it produces nuclear weapons. The Israelis refused, but he insisted. This crisis was resolved with the resignation of Ben-Gurion. He resigned so he would not have to agree to the monitoring of the Dimona plant, and he gave the green light for the killing of Kennedy. Kennedy was killed because he insisted on the monitoring of the Dimona plant. This image was undoubtedly on Obama's mind. He undoubtedly wanted to talk about this, but decided not to.

We expected him to say: "If I win, I will implement the one-state solution – the "Isratine" which appears in Qadhafi's White Book." This idea constitutes the final, deep-rooted, and historic solution. It is impossible to establish two midget-states in this area. What kind of country is only 15 km deep? The so-called Israel is only 15 km deep. What kind of a country is this?

There are five million Palestinians there. We expected Obama to say: "I've decided to return millions of Palestinian refugees to the land of Palestine, from which they were expelled in 1948 and 1967." This is the "change" that the peoples applaud, the change that the American people – and the black people in America – want.

We expected him to say: "I will strive for the independence and unity of the Kurdish nation. This nation must take its place under the sun in the Middle East." The Kurdish nation is torn apart, tormented, and persecuted, and is colonized by everyone. He should have supported it, instead of supporting the collaborators, while sacrificing the future of the Kurdish nation. This is "change."

The thing we fear most is that the black man suffers from an inferiority complex. This is dangerous. If our brother Obama feels that because he is black he doesn't have the right to rule America, this would be a disaster, because such a feeling would make him behave whiter than the white, and go to an extreme in his persecution and degradation of the blacks.

We say to him: Brother, the whites and blacks in America are equal. They are all immigrants. America belongs neither to the whites nor to the blacks. America belongs to its original inhabitants, the Indians. Both the whites and the blacks immigrated to America, and so they are equal, and Obama has the right to hold his head high, and say: "I am a partner in America. This is my land as much as it is yours. If it is not my land, it is not yours either. It is the land of the Indians. You are immigrants, and so are we."

We still hope that this black man will take pride in his African and Islamic identity, and in his faith, and that [he will know that he has rights in America, and that he will change America from evil to good, and that America will establish relations that will serve it well with other peoples, especially the Arabs.

Mu’ammar must not have gotten the memo? You can’t talk about America’s new messiah like this. LOL

Muslim Women Demand More The Apology From B. Hussein Obama

I couldn't find photos of the Muslim women with the complaint so this photo is from a past rally .-- Wild Thing

Muslim woman demands an apology from Obama after camera snub

Source: freep.com

One of two Muslim women who were denied visible seats behind Barack Obama’s stage at Joe Louis Arena on Monday because they wore head scarves said they deserve a personal apology from Obama and close-up seats at a future campaign rally.

Hebba Aref, 25, and her friend, Shimaa Abdelfadeel, received apologies from the campaign Tuesday after they complained that they were not allowed to sit near the podium when campaign volunteers learned that they wear the traditional Muslim head garb called a hijab.

"I was kind of in shock that had happened,” said Aref, a Bloomfield Hills resident and graduate of the University of Michigan Law School. “I’ve lived here practically my whole life, and never been treated that way. It’s so ironic that it was at his rally, he obviously would not promote any discrimination at all.”

Aref said she received a phone call and apology from an Obama campaign offiicial, but said that’s not enough.

“I do appreciate they’re taking the time to look into what happened,” Aref said. “I think it’s a huge deal. I was hoping for an apology from Sen. Obama himself. He needs to send a strong message this kind of discrimination won’t be tolerated.”

CAIR Urges Obama to Include Muslim Women in Upcoming Events

The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) today urged Sen. Barack Obama to invite two Muslim women, who were barred from sitting behind the podium at a Michigan rally, to an upcoming campaign event.

Wild Thing's comment........

CAIR just could not resist. LOL ....getting involved.

Hiding his Muslim supporters again? my oh my. haha

He has so damned many skeletons, lies, crimes, mistakes, Marxist beliefs, Terrorist friends and ties —— that he is CONSTANTLY dealing with his own “bimbo eruptions”.

Just waiting for incoming from Obama like maybe......“Those are not the Obama volunteers I knew. Get that bus over here, now!”

Obama and Advisors Happy For Terrorists and Bin Laden Being Able To Appeal

Obama advisers say bin Laden can appeal to U.S. courts

Barack Obama's foreign policy advisers said Tuesday that Osama bin Laden, if captured, should be allowed to appeal his case to U.S. civilian courts, a privilege opposed by John McCain.

Responding to questions from The Examiner, Sen. John Kerry and former White House counterterrorism czar Richard Clarke said bin Laden would benefit from last week's Supreme Court decision giving terrorism suspects habeas corpus, the right to appeal their military detention to civilian courts.

“If he were to be brought back,” Clarke said of bin Laden, “the Supreme Court ruling holds on the right of habeas corpus.”

Kerry, who applauded the Supreme Court ruling, said it will be carried out by whichever candidate wins the presidency.

“The Supreme Court of the United States has ruled that they have those rights,” he said. “If John McCain were president, he would have to give them those rights.”

Randy Scheunemann, McCain's senior foreign policy adviser, said those rights should not be extended to bin Laden or the hundreds of terrorism suspects being held by the U.S. military at Guantanamo Bay in Cuba.

“The individuals we hold at Guantanamo are very, very dangerous people,” Scheunemann said. “To give them full access to the federal courts and the criminal justice system is fraught with danger, moving forward, and likely to make America less safe, unlike Senator Obama's claim of supporting the decision that it made America safer.”

On Monday, Obama applauded the civilian prosecution of terrorists prior to the attacks of September 11, 2001.

“In previous terrorist attacks -- for example, the first attack against the World Trade Center -- we were able to arrest those responsible, put them on trial,” he told ABC. “They are currently in U.S. prisons, incapacitated.”

Obama said President Bush has relied too heavily on military prosecution of terrorists, which has “given a huge boost to terrorist recruitment in countries that say, ‘Look, this is how the United States treats Muslims.’”

Former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani said Obama wants “to take a step back to the failed policies that treated terrorism solely as a law enforcement matter, rather than a clear and present danger. Barack Obama appears to believe that terrorists should be treated like criminals -- a belief that underscores his fundamental lack of judgment regarding our national security.”

The attack sounded familiar to Kerry, who was the Democratic presidential nominee four years ago.

“This is exactly what they tried to say back in 2004, and the record absolutely contradicts it,” Kerry told The Examiner. “Every Democrat voted to go to war and attack the Taliban and al Qaeda, the people who attacked us. That is not a [legalistic] approach.”

Wild Thing's comment.........

If you are an enemy of the United States, you are a friend of the left.

If I were a soldier I would take the decision by the court basically to mean, take no prisoners.

THIS should be on the fornt page of every piece of campaign literature McCain puts out.

Obama looks like the dumbest man who ever ran for President. He and Gore together couldn’t make an I.Q. of 120.

National security ala Obama, Kerry, and Clarke. God help this country.

Obama On The Role Of Law Enforcement In Combating Terrorism

ABC’s Jake Tapper, got Obama to talk about how we need to treat terrorism as a law-enforcement matter.

Obama said, "It is my firm belief that we can track terrorists, we can crack down on threats against the United States, but we can do so within the constraints of our Constitution. And there has been no evidence on their part that we can't.

"And, you know, let's take the example of Guantanamo. What we know is that, in previous terrorist attacks -- for example, the first attack against the World Trade Center, we were able to arrest those responsible, put them on trial. They are currently in U.S. prisons, incapacitated."

"And the fact that the administration has not tried to do that has created a situation where not only have we never actually put many of these folks on trial, but we have destroyed our credibility when it comes to rule of law all around the world, and given a huge boost to terrorist recruitment in countries that say, ‘Look, this is how the United States treats Muslims.’ So that, I think, is an example of something that was unnecessary. We could have done the exact same thing, but done it in a way that was consistent with our laws…”

Obama has adopted the “Winnie The Pooh” doctrine

"Winnie the Pooh should shape US foreign policy"

telegraph.co.uk

Richard Danzig, who served as Navy Secretary under President Clinton and is tipped to become National Security Adviser in an Obama White House, told a major foreign policy conference in Washington that the future of US strategy in the war on terrorism should follow a lesson from the pages of Winnie the Pooh, which can be shortened to: if it is causing you too much pain, try something else.
Mr Danzig told the Centre for New American Security: “Winnie the Pooh seems to me to be a fundamental text on national security.”

He spelt out how American troops, spies and anti-terrorist officials could learn key lessons by understanding the desire of terrorists to emulate superheroes like Luke Skywalker, and the lust for violence of violent football fans.

Mr Danzig spelt out the need to change by reading a paragraph from chapter one of the children’s classic, which says: “Here is Edward Bear, coming downstairs now, bump, bump, bump on the back of his head behind Christopher Robin. It is, as far as he knows, the only way of coming down stairs. But sometimes he thinks there really is another way if only he could stop bumping a minute and think about it.”

Wild Thing's comment........

Sure B. Hussein Obama that's the spirit! After Americans die we will investigate!! sheesh!

And to Richard Danzig the twit and Obama, you are NO Winnie the Pooh! Leave him alone! I rather take this personally since I collect Teddy bears and Pooh is one of my favorites. So OH Bother and Bug Off Danzig and Hussein! Bears are all Republicans in case you didn't know it. LOL

On a serious note though..... can you imagine General Petraeus making a presentation on how the war is going and using Winnie the Pooh as a referrence?
YIKES!

McCain Proposes La Raza Town Hall Meeting With Obama

McCain Proposes La Raza Town Hall

GOP presidential candidate John McCain is inviting his Democratic rival, Barack Obama, to participate in a joint town hall meeting at an open-borders advocacy group’s upcoming meeting in California.

“There is a meeting in California of La Raza,” McCain told reporters at an Arlington press conference Monday. “Both of us have accepted invitations. I say that we have a town hall meeting together in front of La Raza. I think that the people will be far more informed and in some ways, entertained if we had that format.”

Although a La Raza town hall would surely cause outcry among those border hawks the Hispanic demographic is expected to be a coveted voting block in the general election-- a group McCain has courted, with some success, through his support of comprehensive immigration reform. In 2005, McCain co-sponsored a bill, which La Raza endorsed, critics said would award amnesty to illegal aliens with Democratic Sen. Teddy Kennedy (Mass.). The bill did not pass and McCain's work to push it cause irreparable damage with many members of his GOP base.

McCain's call for a La Raza town hall is the latest in a drumbeat of invitations he's given to Obama in hopes of holding a series of 10 joint town hall meetings, where the McCain camp believes their candidate would give a strong performance.

So far Obama has only offered to hold one town hall on July 4, almost ensuring the event would be overlooked by most voters enjoying the Independence Day holiday.

La Raza will be holding their annual meeting in San Diego July 12-15. Both McCain and Obama are scheduled to address the more than 20,000 expected attendees.

Wild Thing's comemnt........

What a choice we have haha good grief.

McCain takes the liberal position; Obama takes the marxist position.

McCain is already scheduled to speak before La Raza as is Obama. If Obama agrees to turning it into a Townhall debate it will just turn out with the two of them trying to outpander one another.

McCain is a La Raza favorite and recipient of their awards. His buddy, Lindsey Graham, spoke before them a year ago and said that the "bigots should shut up," i.e., those who opposed the amnesty bill.

Something from the past with McCain and LaRaza:
February 15, 1999
LaRaza news release

Washington, D.C. - The National Council of La Raza (NCLR) - the nation's largest constituency-based Hispanic organization - will honor two members of Congress for their staunch support of the Hispanic community at its tenth annual Capital Awards, formerly known as the Congressional Awards, on Tuesday, March 2, 1999. Senator John McCain (R-AZ) and House Minority Leader Richard Gephardt (D-MO) will be recognized for their work on civil rights, immigration, education, and other issue areas affecting Latinos, at a gala event to take place at the National Building Museum, 401 F Street, N.W., beginning at 7:00 p.m.

"It is a great pleasure and honor for NCLR to recognize Senator John McCain, a longtime friend of the Hispanic community. Throughout his tenure in both the House and

Senate, John McCain has been a strong voice for compassion, fairness, and inclusion in his party," noted Raul Yzaguirre, National Council of La Raza (NCLR) President.

New Weapons To Be Used Against Protesters In Denver

Activists Preparing Against Use of ‘Brown Note’ at Dem Convention

http://mediamatters.org/items/200806060007?f=h_top

Political activists planning protest rallies at the upcoming Democratic Convention in Denver have their stomachs in knots over a rumor about a crowd control weapon - known as the “crap cannon” - that might be unleashed against them.

Also called “Brown Note,” it is believed to be an infrasound frequency that debilitates a person by making them defecate involuntarily.

Mark Cohen, co-founder of Re-create 68, an alliance of local activists working for the protection of first amendment rights, said he believes this could be deployed at the convention in August to subdue crowds.

“We know this weapon and weapons like it have been used at other large protests before,” he said.

Cohen, who described Brown Note as a “sonic weapon used to disrupt people’s equilibrium,” cited eyewitness accounts of its use during free-trade agreement protests in Miami in 2003.

“I think these weapons were mostly intended for military use and so their use for dealing with innocent protesters seems highly inappropriate,” he said. “The idea that they might be field testing them on people who are doing nothing more than exercising their first amendment rights is disturbing.”

His group is preparing against a possible attack by Brown Note and other crowd-control measures by dispatching street medics at the convention trained in treating injuries in demonstration situations.

“It’s all we can do,” Cohen said.

"Mark Cohen, co-founder of Re-create 68, an alliance of local activists working for the protection of first amendment rights, said he believes this could be deployed at the convention in August to subdue crowds.

I think these weapons were mostly intended for military use and so their use for dealing with innocent protesters seems highly inappropriate," he said. "The idea that they might be field testing them on people who are doing nothing more than exercising their first amendment rights is disturbing."

But there’s another weapon the protesters fear more than Brown Note, if you can believe that. This from Glenn Spagnuolo, also with Re-create 68:

"More troubling to Spagnuolo is the "Active Denial System" or "ADS," a ray gun used to send high levels of microwave frequencies that cause a burning sensation the skin."

Yikes, I never heard of this before. OMG! It sounds like they are really expecting a lot of protests at the DNC Convention.

With this crowd, how will they know if it worked or not?

Global Warming Freak Gore Endorses B.Hussein Obama

Gore endorses Obama and promises to help him

Flint, Mich.

Al Gore announced his endorsement of Barack Obama Monday and promised to help the Democrat achieve what eluded him -- the presidency. In a letter to be e-mailed to Obama supporters, the former vice president and Nobel Prize winner wrote,

"From now through Election Day, I intend to do whatever I can to make sure he is elected president of the United States."

Gore is one of the most popular figures in the Democratic Party, but he maintained a low profile in the primary campaign. He's planning to appear with Obama at a rally in Detroit Monday night.

It's the second time that Obama has rolled out a major endorsement in Michigan, a state he did not campaign in during the primary because its election violated the party rules. Obama is counting on a win in Michigan in November, but brought Gore and 2004 vice presidential nominee John Edwards to help validate him among Democrats in the state after skipping their primary.

"It means a lot, obviously," Obama said of Gore's support, as he greeted workers outside the General Motors Flint Engine South plant. "He's somebody who is a visionary, not just for the party, but for the country."

Gore also asked for donations to help fund Obama's effort -- the first time he's asked members of his Web site AlGore.com to contribute to a political campaign.

Wild Thing's comment.......

Thank the good Lord he’s decided. I’ve been losing a lot of sleep over this. - NOT hahahaa

LOL, Gore waits till Hillary is out of the race, Obama has is locked up then he says he will endorse Obama. Yes a real man Gore is......LMAO what a wimp.

Are there any more losers out there who have NOT endorsed Obama?

Chicago Wanna Be Tuff Guy Obama ~ "I'll Whoop 'Em, Don't Mess With Me"

Obama accepts a gift from a 95 yr old supporter, Charles Edwards, and uses it to put Congress on notice not to get in the way of his healthcare plan.

The presumptive democratic nominee, clearly feeling his oats, took the stick and said, "If members of Congress don't pass my health care bill - I'll whoop 'em, I'll whoop 'em. That's right, you better not mess with me, and I'll have that stick."

Wild Thing's comment.........

This man doesn't have the gravitas to serve on a local schoolboard, much less as president of the United States.

B.Hussein Obama is another Mugabe in the making!

Whenever someone I talk to is in favor of universal health care, I ask them how it will work here if it hasn’t worked anywhere else. Are all the other people who have tried it around the world stupid? Do they have inferior intellect? Is the current Congress and Obama somehow smarter than the elected people in these other governments?

Of course we all know the answers to these questions already. It won't work, it never has and never will. I have lost two friends because of socicialized medicine. One that lived in England and one that lived in Canada. Both might be alive today if they had lived in the USA or at least not had socialized medicine.

Fox Removes E.D. Hill and Her Show

E.D. Hill and her show, "America's Pulse" has been removed from her time slot at Fox, because of something she said in her news presentation . On June 6th last, on her former program, "America's Pulse," E.D. Hill teased in a segment about body-language about Obama's fist bump with his wife Michelle.

Obama supporters and the leftist blogs on the web were in a rage and an uproar about the comments, and George Soros' "Media Matters" began a campaign encouraging people to contact Fox and complaint about what is in their view an unforgivable slight of Obama and Michelle.

They called for E.D. Hill's resignation.

Media Matters blog:

Fox and O'Reilly agreed that she was out of line,.typical of moderate O'Reilly who has stated many times he is not a Republilcan or a Democrat.

She apologized for her comments, which apparently that didn't even help the situation . She was taken off her show at Fox.

Even after all of this, CNN and MSNBC joined in to complain.

Fox caved in to the opposition, (Obama and Mediai Matters, MSNBC, and CNN's ) demands and Fox quietly cancelled E.D.'s show, "America's Pulse," chastised her, and relegated her elsewhere for the time being.

Huffington is thrileld and posted about all of this with glee.

E.D. HIll was great and full of life and even though I seldom got to see her show, I used to watch her on the morning show she did before she got her show "America's Pulse".

And this is from this last Christmas!!!! Supporting the troops.

E.D. Hill did something that I loved so much. She organized a way for American’s to send injured U.S. troops holiday letters. She had to work hard to get this accompolished so it could be done, and she was able to do so. She called it “Operation Holiday Thanks". And the wounded troops loved it. Of course Olberman at MSNBC had to bash what she was doing.

The thing that really concerns me about all of this is the power they are giving to the left, to Obama and his complaints. If we took the entire Media away from their promoting Obama he would never have done as well as he has in this election. I truly believe that. People on the left sit in front of their TV's and don't think for themselves mostly. They watch CNN and MSNBC and soak in all the propaganda about Obama and sit there and nod oh yes we can.

It is the leftie media that started the use of the word " it's like a movement with Obama", " never saw anything like this before", pushing, promoting, 24/7, repeating over and over from each person on their leftie shows the same mantra about Obama.

Well he has accompolished his goal of getting E.D.Hill off her show for now anyway.

If you have seen her show and wondered where she is and would like to send an email about all of this the information is listed below.

Ohio Judge Proud of Che Guevara and Obama

Lourain County Common Pleas Judge James Burge speaks in his office in Lorain, Ohio as posters of Che Guevara and Barack Obama hang on his wall.

Ohio judge: State must change lethal injection law

ELYRIA, Ohio

USA Today

A judge in Ohio says the state's method of putting prisoners to death is unconstitutional because two of three drugs used in the lethal injection process can cause pain.
Lorain County Common Pleas Judge James Burge said Tuesday the state's lethal injection procedure doesn't provide the quick and painless death required by Ohio law.

Burge said Ohio must stop allowing a combination of drugs and focus instead on a single, anesthetic drug.

The ruling is likely be appealed to the Ohio Supreme Court.

Ohio has executed 26 inmates since it resumed putting prisoners to death in 1999.

Obama: ‘If They Bring a Knife to the Fight, We Bring a Gun’

Here is a gun for Obama ......the Backwards Gun.

From the film "Untouchables" scene with Sean and Costner ---- The Chicago Way
from Rhod

"Obama was stealing David Mamet's words from the screenplay for the Costner version of "The Untouchables".

The Sean Connery cop said something like "they break a finger and we break a leg, they bring a knife and we bring a gun, they put one of ours in the hospital and we put one of theirs in the morgue...that's the Chicago Way"...."

Obama: ‘If They Bring a Knife to the Fight, We Bring a Gun’

http://www.allenwestforcongress.com/

Mobster wisdom tells us never to bring a knife to a gun fight. But what does political wisdom say about bringing a gun to a knife fight?

Sen. Barack Obama talks at a town hall meeting at Radnor Middle School in Wayne, Pa., Saturday, June 14. (AP)

That’s exactly what Barack Obama said he would do to counter Republican attacks “If they bring a knife to the fight, we bring a gun,” Obama said at a Philadelphia fundraiser Friday night. “Because from what I understand folks in Philly like a good brawl. I’ve seen Eagles fans.”

The comment drew some laughs and applause. But it also struck a chord with his Republican rival. John McCain’s campaign immediately accused the Democratic candidate of playing the politics of fear. They also mentioned that Obama said he would use a gun that would be illegal under Obama’s plans to cut down on illegal firearms.

“Barack Obama’s call for ‘new politics’ is officially over. In just 24 hours, Barack Obama attacked one of America’s pioneering women CEOs, rejected a series of joint bipartisan town halls, and said that if there’s a political knife fight, he’d bring a gun,” McCain campaign spokesman Tucker Bounds said in a statement.

Obama made the comment in the context of warning donors that the general election campaign against McCain could get ugly. “They’re going to try to scare people. They’re going to try to say that ‘that Obama is a scary guy,’” he said. A supporter yelled out a deep accented “Don’t give in!”

“I won’t but that sounded pretty scary. You’re a tough guy,” Obama said.

Wild Thing's comment........

These people say some heavy stuff, but if McCain took the kid gloves off and said these types of things?

The Obama people and their pals in the media would be crying like a bunch of babies about "racism" and "death threats." And the Democrats would have TV adverts castrating McCain by now

I am shocked, shocked I tell you. I am SHOCKED that a 2nd Amendment opponent like Osama Obama Hussein would so casually ENDORSE the misuse of weapons!

I’m not sure he’d know which end to aim where.

.....Thank you Rhod, for telling about the film and where Obama got that line from.

Hero Lt. Col. Allen West's Response to Black Conservatives Voting For Obama

Allen West's response to: Black Conservatives Conflicted on Obama Campaign

"For most of my adult life I took an oath to a simple document, the US Constitution, to support and defend it against all enemies, foreign and domestic, and to bear true faith and allegiance to the same. My allegiance is to America, its people, and their rights as put forth in that superb document. I shall not discard my principles and commitment to my God and Country, just because. I applaud Senator Obama for his accomplishment, however, there is no way I will vote for someone that is so contrary to my beliefs in lower taxes, limited government, individual rights and freedoms, individual responsibility and accountability, not collective prosperity sharing.

I grew up in inner city Atlanta Georgia, and my elementary school, Our Lady of Lourdes, is across the street from Ebenezer Baptist Church. Dr King's seminal ideal of "content of character vs color of skin" resonates with me. Regardless of the probable ensuing vitriolic name calling, my ideology and principles are not in concert with those of Senator Obama. I wish him well, but I dont wish him to be President of THESE United States of America"

Now let's see if I get this straight. An officer whose Tikrit-based troops have come under attack from Saddam loyalists becomes aware that an Iraqi detainee has information about a planned ambush of his Soldiers, but the prisoner isn't being cooperative.

The officer then goes to interrogate the detainee -- an Iraqi police officer, by the way -- and in the course of questioning, fires his weapon as a way of making the point that he's serious about obtaining straight answers.

The detainee then tells the truth. The ambush is averted, and Soldiers' lives are saved.

The officer is then:

A: given a commendation.

B: promoted to full colonel for showing initiative under pressure and loyalty to his troops.

C: told to resign his commission immediately or face a court martial.

The correct answer, I'm sorry to have to report, is "C."

Lt. Col. Alan B. West, who aggressively interrogated an Iraqi detainee so that he could prevent an ambush and save his Soldiers lives, is being charged with aggravated assault by his unit's JAG officer.

According to published reports, Lt. Col West allowed two of his Soldiers to "physically agress" the prisoner (an act for which they were later fined), and then West brandished his pistol and fired two shots to scare the man into talking.

For this, the Judge Advocate General's office wants to end his 19-year career and possibly send him to prison for eight years. Meanwhile, idiot officers who get their men killed are being given medals and promotions, and generals who have never come under fire are putting themselves in for Silver Stars.

General Schoomaker, this is madness -- and you have to put a full stop to it right now.

Because this is what happens when lawyers, not shooters, run the military.

This is what happens when the Army culture replaces risk-taking and initiative with hundreds of pages of rules and regulations that hamper war-fighting, degrade unit integrity, and place inane limits on how Soldiers can or cannot conduct themselves in battle.

This is what happens when managers and systems analysts replace Warriors in the command structure.

This is what happens when somewhere along the chain of command, the idea that war is about killing people and breaking things gets completely lost. This is what happens when the Army forgets the words of General George S. Patton, Jr.: "We must be eager to kill, to inflict on the enemy -- the hated enemy -- wounds, death, and destruction."

Now, I'm not in favor of hooking prisoners up to field telephones -- although it has certainly happened in the past. Nor am I in favor of taking the Argentine approach to interrogation, i.e., tossing one prisoner out of a chopper 10,000 feet above the South Atlantic and then posing the question to the second prisoner in the chopper.

Moreover, Lt. Col West's actions came nowhere close to anything that can be called torture. Aggressive? Obviously. Outside the box? Absolutely. But aren't those qualities precisely the qualities we want in our officers?

Because if I were a Soldier serving under West's command, I'd say HOOAH, Colonel, and follow him to hell. Why? Because Lt. Col. West demonstrated something that far too few of today's officers are willing to demonstrate to their men and women: loyalty DOWN the chain of command.

Lt. Col. West put his Soldiers' lives above his own career.

And the FOLLOW UP dated December 2003

OPERATION: IRAQI FREEDOM
Lt. Col. West fined $5,000

Avoids court martial for using shock tactics to save lives

An officer in Iraq who used shock interrogation tactics to thwart an impending attack on American soldiers was punished with forfeiture of two month's pay, according to his lawyer.

Previously faced with the possibility of a court martial, Lt. Col. Allen B. West accepted Article 15 non-judicial punishment from the commanding general of the 4th Infantry Division at a hearing today in Tikrit, Iraq, said Neal A. Puckett, a retired Marine officer.

Puckett said the loss of pay amounts to $5,000.

"I'm pleased that it's over with," West told WorldNetDaily by telephone from San Antonio, Texas. "But I thought that taking $5,000 away from a guy who is about to retire was a little bit unnecessary.

"I didn't think that needed to be part of a sentence in order to send whatever message the commanding general thought he needed to send," he continued.

"Simply a letter of reprimand should have done it," Puckett insisted.

West will return to Ft. Hood, Texas, as soon as transportation can be arranged and will be assigned to the Rear Detachment of the 4th Infantry Division as he awaits the processing of his retirement request.

The punishment does not affect his eligibility for retirement and pension, Puckett said.

West's commanding officer, Maj. Gen. Raymond Odierno, had authority to accept or reject the recommendation of administrative punishment from the officer who presided over West's preliminary hearing in Tikrit last month, Lt. Col. Jimmy Davis.

At his preliminary hearing, West acknowledged he allowed two soldiers to beat an Iraqi policeman who refused to reveal details of an ambush plot and fired his pistol near the man's head, threatening to kill him.

As WorldNetDaily reported, under threat of an attack, West took charge of the interrogation of an Iraqi policeman, Yahya Jhodri Hamoody, determined to flush out details as he warned subordinates "it could get ugly." Threatening to kill the Iraqi if he didn't talk, West fired a pistol near the policeman's head.

The scared policeman then immediately disclosed the information, leading to the arrest of two Iraqis last August and cessation of attacks on West's 4th Infantry Division battalion.

At the hearing last month, West was asked by his defense attorney if he would do it again.

"If it's about the lives of my men and their safety, I'd go through hell with a gasoline can," he said.

"But that's what's going on out there in the streets here, and that's how I feel about my boys," he told the hearing, held in one of Saddam Hussein's lavish palaces. "There is not a person in this room I would not sacrifice my life for."

But Army prosecutors believe his actions in the town of Saba al Boor, near Tikrit, violated the Uniform Code of Military Justice. He was charged with aggravated assault and faced a wide range of possible outcomes from no disciplinary action to a sentence of up to eight years in prison.

The prosecutors gave West a choice – face charges or resign within days of his 20 years of service, losing retirement benefits. West chose to face the charges and place his fate in the hands of Maj. Gen. Odierno.

The chairman of the House Armed Services Committee is appealing to the acting secretary of the Army to intervene on behalf of an officer in Iraq facing a possible court martial because of shock interrogation tactics used to thwart an impending attack on American soldiers.

In a letter, Rep. Duncan Hunter, R-Calif., and a senior member of his committee, Rep. John H. McHugh, R-N.Y., said they were "highly disturbed" the Army was considering criminal action against Lt. Col. Allen B. West, reported the Copley News Service.

Hunter and McHugh contended West's actions "were necessary to protect the lives and safety of his men" and were reported immediately to his superiors.

....Thank you Dave for the added information Lt. Col. West.

Black Republicans Thinking Of Voting RACE!

Black conservatives weigh voting for Obama

CNN political

Black conservative talk show host Armstrong Williams has never voted for a Democrat for president. That could change this year with Barack Obama as the Democratic Party's nominee.

"I don't necessarily like his policies; I don't like much that he advocates, but for the first time in my life, history thrusts me to really seriously think about it," Williams said. "I can honestly say I have no idea who I'm going to pull that lever for in November. And to me, that's incredible."

Just as Obama has touched black Democratic voters, he has engendered conflicting emotions among black Republicans. They revel over the possibility of a black president but wrestle with the thought that Obama doesn't sit beside them ideologically.

"Among black conservatives," Williams said, "they tell me privately, it would be very hard to vote against him in November."

Williams, the commentator, says his 82-year-old mother, who also hasn't voted for a Democratic presidential candidate, has already made up her mind.

"She is so proud of Senator Barack Obama, and she has made it clear to all of us that she's voting for him in November," Williams relates. "That is historic. Every time I call her, she asks, 'How's Obama doing?' They feel as if they are a part of this.

Because she said, given the history of this country, she never thought she'd ever live to see this moment."

Perhaps sensing the possibility of such a shift, Republican presidential candidate John McCain has made some efforts to lure black voters. He recently told Essence magazine that he would attend the NAACP's annual convention next month, and he noted that he recently traveled to Selma, Ala., scene of seminal voting rights protests in the 1960s, and "talked about the need to include
'forgotten Americans."'

J.C. Watts, a former Oklahoma congressman who once was part of the GOP House leadership, said he's thinking of voting for Obama.

Watts said he's still a Republican, but he criticizes his party for neglecting the black community. Black Republicans, he said, have to concede that while they might not agree with Democrats on issues, at least that party reaches out to them.

"And Obama highlights that even more," Watts said, adding that he expects Obama to take on issues such as poverty and urban policy. "Republicans often seem indifferent to those things."

God bless Michale Steele for NOT being a racist like these others voting ONLY because of RACE.-- Wild Thing

Michael Steele, the Republican former lieutenant governor of Maryland who lost a Senate race there in 2006, said he is proud of Obama as a black man, but that "come November, I will do everything in my power to defeat him." Electing Obama, he said, would not automatically solve the woes of the black community.

"I think people who try to put this sort of messianic mantle on Barack's nomination are a little bit misguided," he said.

Wild Thing's comment........

First of all let me say something. I have been a conservative all my life and no conservative would ever vote for Obama. The NO vote is NOT because he is a black man, but Obama is a Democrat, the most liberal, furthest to the left of all the democrats. These people saying they are "thinking of voting for Obama BECAUSE HE IS A BLACK MAN" ..... are they coming out of the closet of their being a racist that they hid in these past years passing off as a conservative?

Has our American politics, governing and who should be voted for ....come down to if a person is black or white? I say NOPE, it has come down to Democrat BLACK is ok and Republican Black is NO good! If Obama was a conservative black man, the left would be calling him names like Oreo cookie and Uncle Tom like they called so many black Republicans.

Here is an example from the past:
"Democratic leaders in Maryland say that racially tinged attacks against Lt. Gov. Michael S. Steele in his bid for the U.S. Senate are fair because he is a conservative Republican. Such attacks against the first black man to win a statewide election in Maryland include pelting him with Oreo cookies during a campaign appearance, calling him an "Uncle Tom" and depicting him as a black-faced minstrel on a liberal Web log."

This is very sad to me to learn of Williams and Watts even thinking this way, even considering such a thing as to vote for Obama because of the historical
'thing' of it. I gave them both more credit then obviously they have deserved.

It is a sad day for our country too, if it has come down to this. Character and love for America being thrown out the window.

Maybe I have been naive, I didn't know blacks were black before they were Americans. Not all but how sad that any of them feel this way.

McCain: It can be “tough” to be proud of USA

McCain: It can be “tough” to be proud of USA

WASHINGTON -

Republican presidential candidate John McCain admitted on Saturday it can be difficult at times to be proud of the United States.

"I’ll admit to you … that it’s tough in some respects,” McCain said when asked by a questioner at a town hall meeting how to be proud of the country. “We have not always done things right and we mismanaged the war in Iraq very badly for nearly four years.”

McCain’s wife, Cindy, pounced on Michelle Obama, the wife of presumptive Democratic nominee Barack Obama, for saying in February that she was proud of her country “for the first time in my adult life.”

The Arizona senator said it was important for the United States to be more humble and inclusive.

“I think we can be proud of America because of what we’ve achieved and accomplished in this world,” he said. “What we have to do is tell our friends around the world that we will be proud of America because of what we’re going to do.”

Wild Thing's comment........

I have always been proud of America. I could not say what Michelle Obama and now John McCain have now said. Not to get votes. not to appease the left, not ever.

McCain is embarrassing!!

As far as countries go, America has by far done more good for more people, than any country that ever existed in human history. I could go on and on how amazing and wonderful my country is and how proud of the USA I am. Not just occasionally but every day of my life.

NOT the politicians no, those have to earn my respect. But that is apples and oranges compared to being proud of my country.

Well to each his own, sorry McCain feels this way no matter how he uses such speech it is harmful. His desire to capture votes from the left and the middle with quotes like this are more fodder for the terrorists and those that hate America around the world.

What is next from the likes of Michelle Obama and McCain..... some one liners from Hanoi Jane handbook? I pray that will not happen!

Obama Too Stupid To Know What July 4th Means Or Does Not Care!

McCain, Obama fail to agree on Townhall Meetings

Unlike Kerry, Barack Obama Covets George Soros' Support

Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama on Friday rejected Republican rival John McCain's proposal for 10 joint town-hall appearances, offering instead to have just one on the July 4 holiday.

Obama campaign manager David Plouffe said he offered to meet McCain in five joint appearances between now and the Nov. 4 election. But only one of those was a town-hall meeting, plus three traditional debates and an in-depth debate on foreign policy.

The McCain campaign said Obama's offer was to hold the single town hall on Independence Day _ which likely would have resulted in less attention while Americans are on holiday. McCain told reporters traveling with him in New Jersey that was "a very disappointing response."

McCain had said the more intimate town-hall format, a give-and-take between a candidate and the audience, would allow real interaction with voters and would be more revealing than formal televised debates. Town halls are also McCain's favorite style of campaigning and would allow him to get free media attention alongside the better-funded Obama.

When a McCain adviser first floated the idea last month, Obama said it was a great idea. But the Illinois senator told reporters Tuesday that it's not realistic to have 10 town halls with all the other campaigning he needs to do after just clinching the Democratic Party's nomination months after McCain wrapped up the GOP nod.

The two campaigns have been unable to work out a deal, other than to agree that the town halls should not be sponsored by media organizations and instead be open to all networks like presidential debates. The two sides on Sunday jointly rejected an offer by New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg and ABC News to host the first town hall for that reason.

Plouffe tried to place the blame on McCain for refusing to agree, saying five joint appearances "would have been the most of any presidential campaign in the modern era, offering a broad range of formats and representing a historic commitment to openness and transparency."

"It's disappointing that Senator McCain and his campaign decided to decline this proposal. Apparently they would rather contrive a political issue than foster a genuine discussion about the future of our country," Plouffe said.

McCain responded during a brief news conference in Pemberton, N.J., where he traveled for his own town hall.

"I'll let the American people decide which is the preferable proposal," he said. "I want the American people to have the exposure to a number of town hall meetings, not just one."

Wild Thing's comment........

Let's see it is not that Obama won't wear a lapel pin it is the reason he said he would not wear one.
Then there is his attitude about our Anthem and NOW THIS!

Is it me or what! I find this VERY offensive that Obama has suggested to debate one of their Townhall debates on July 4th, Independence Day. Obviously it is a day that means NOTHING to B. Hussein Obama.

Instead of just saying no to him, oh how I wish McCain had taken the opportunity to lay into Obama on what July 4th means to our country. There was such an opportunity to do so and NOTHING was mentioned about it at all.
Only that people would not be around to watch it. .... "would have resulted in less attention while Americans are on holiday"......

The Declaration of Independence is more than just a piece of paper. It is a symbol of our country's independence and commitment to certain ideas.

The signers of the Declaration of Independence wanted the citizens of the United States to have a document that spelled out what was important to our leaders and citizens. They wanted us to be able to look at the Declaration of Independence and immediately think of the goals we should always be working for, and about the people who have fought so hard to make these ideas possible.

The people who signed the Declaration risked being hanged for treason by the leaders in Great Britain. They had to be very brave to sign something that would be considered a crime! So every time we look at the Declaration of Independence, we should think about all of the effort and ideas that went into the document, and about the courage it took for these people to stand up for what they knew was right -- independence!

I Wonder How Obama's Family Feels About His Denial

Barack Obama has refused to answer questions about his conversion from Islam? What is he hiding?

Wild Thing's comment.....

ExposeObama.com is a project of the National Campaign Fund. Obama just needs to tell the truth, how hard can that be. For him it is !!!

There is a way of speaking where a person is not saying an outright lie but they are not telling the truth. It is done a lot by the left, they have turned it into an art form. Obama excells at this.

The most imporant thing like Tom has said is the impact his past with the Muslim world will have on his being President.

Obama is the one that is making this into something more then the media.

....Thank you Mark for sending this to me.

Barack Obama In Denial of His Middle Name Fight The Smears Website

Um well here is a question heh heh...was Obama a Kanamit???

The Twilight Zone: To Serve Man

Democrat Barack Obama's campaign said Thursday that Michelle Obama never used the word "whitey" in a speech from the church pulpit as he launched a Web site to debunk rumors about himself and his wife.

The rumor that Michelle Obama railed against "whitey" in a diatribe at Chicago's Trinity United Church of Christ has circulated on conservative Republican blogs for weeks and was repeated by radio talk show host Rush Limbaugh. The rumor included claims of a videotape of the speech that would be used to bring down Obama's candidacy this fall.

"No such tape exists," the campaign responds on the site, http://www.fightthesmears.com. "Michelle Obama has not spoken from the pulpit at Trinity and has not used that word."

Wild Thing's comment........

For one thing he says at his Fight the Smears site that he never was a Muslim. NEVER was a Muslim?

This is one of the posts at this smear website about it.....
Click here

Um B. Hussein Obama a-hem you had better have a talk with your er um half brother Malik! Like right away!

From the Jerusalem Post:

"Barack Obama's half brother Malik said Thursday that if elected his brother will be a good president for the Jewish people, despite his Muslim background."

In an interview with Army Radio he expressed a special salutation from the Obamas of Kenya.

LMAO ......Oh well, look on the bright side. At least he didn't call his brother "Barack Hussein Obama."

SHUT up McCain Greenjeans Since You Won't Drill in ANWAR!

McCain says gas prices won't drop and could rise

WASHINGTON

Record high prices for gasoline probably won't drop before the November election, Republican John McCain said Wednesday.

" I don't think it's going much lower, and it could go higher," McCain said on NBC's "Today Show." "I don't think so, not when you've got a finite supply, basically, and a cartel controlling it."

Although the GOP presidential candidate didn't address the question of raising taxes on oil companies, he said the companies "absolutely" should return some profits to consumers. "And they should be embarking on research and development that will pay off in reducing our dependence on foreign oil," he said.

"The point is, oil companies have got to be more participatory in alternate energy, in sharing their profits in a variety of ways, and there is very strong and justifiable emotion about their profits," McCain said.

The issue of oil company profits came up this week in the Senate, where Republicans stopped the Democrats from imposing a tax on windfall profits and taking away billions of dollars in tax breaks in response to the $4-a-gallon price of gas.

In the past McCain has indicated he would consider such a tax proposal, saying he didn't want to see companies making "obscene profits" that distort the market.

McCain used the opportunity to bring up his proposal for a gas tax holiday that would suspend the federal tax of 18.4 cents per gallon, a proposal that Democratic rival Barack Obama dismisses as a gimmick. Critics say that cutting the price would only increase demand, which would lead to higher prices again.

"Look what's happened to Americans who are on a fixed income, particularly low-income Americans — that's why I wanted to give them a little break," McCain said. "They drive the furthest. They drive the automobiles that use the most gasoline. I wanted to give them a little break for the summer."

In the interview, McCain said President Bush's strategy to increase the number of troops in Iraq last year is working. McCain has been an ardent supporter of the Iraq war, but he criticized the early handling of the war, saying Bush did not send enough troops initially. In fact, he challenged the characterization that the strategy of increasing troop levels was Bush's: "May I correct that statement? I advocated the surge policy before President Bush."

McCain was asked if, since he argues the strategy is working, he has a better estimate for when U.S. troops could leave Iraq.

"No, but that's not too important," McCain said. "What's important is casualties in Iraq.

"Americans are in South Korea. Americans are in Japan. American troops are in Germany. That's all fine. American casualties, and the ability to withdraw. We will be able to withdraw. ... But the key to it is we don't want any more Americans in harm's way."

Obama wants to begin withdrawing troops from Iraq, which McCain opposes.

Wild Thing's comment......

Hey McCain you are part of the problem NOT part of the solution you jerk. Here is a suggestion,. go read your GREEN earth bs at your campaign webstie and start humming. That should make you feel better when you have to
'filler up' at the gas station.

And I swear if these Democrats and rinos don't stop blaming the oil companies I am going to send the OIL COMPANIES some kind of friendship card and a box of candy and tell them I am on their side and not to listen to the BS from our liars in our government blaming them.

Enough blaming the oil companies. Shumer, McCain etc. all of them blaming the wrong people. The problem lies at the feet of the enviro's and dems and rinos..

B.Hussein Obama ~ His Plans For War Crime Trials

What kind of war crimes trials does Obama plan?

by Thomas Lifson

Barack Obama's plan for imposing unity on the nation after he takes office apparently entails a close look at war crimes trials for Bush administration officials. He has even said so in an interview with Will Bunch of the Philadelphia Daily News.

This kind of change -- putting your predecessors on trial for their conduct of policy -- may not be what most Americans really want or expect from someone with Obama's gauzy rhetoric of unity. But unity has a dark side in the hands of people who regard their opponents as criminals. America has two centuries-plus of history lacking the totalitarian practice of jailing the predecessors when a new president takes office.

This is the sort of proposal one might expect from a man steeped in Marxism at his church, from his friends like Ayers, and as a member of the Alinsky Left. But I am surprised he let this slip.

The interview in question appeared on a Philadelphia Daily News blog:

"Obama said that as president he would indeed ask his new Attorney General and his deputies to "immediately review the information that's already there" and determine if an inquiry is warranted -- but he also tread carefully on the issue, in line with his reputation for seeking to bridge the partisan divide. He worried that such a probe could be spun as "a partisan witch hunt." However, he said that equation changes if there was willful criminality, because "nobody is above the law."

To me the terribly frightening phrase is the wish to avoid a "partisan witch hunt." When a Harvard-trained lawyer inserts a qualifier into a phrase, that is a signal of wiggle room being created. In this case, the obvious implication is that if you get Chuck Hagel or some other antiwar Republican on board, then you have cover for your "witch hunt."

At Little Green Footballs there is the discovery of a campaign document:

Here is Obama's answer to Bunch's question on the possibility of war crimes trials, in its entirety:

"What I would want to do is to have my Justice Department and my Attorney General immediately review the information that's already there and to find out are there inquiries that need to be pursued. I can't prejudge that because we don't have access to all the material right now. I think that you are right, if crimes have been committed, they should be investigated. You're also right that I would not want my first term consumed by what was perceived on the part of Republicans as a partisan witch hunt because I think we've got too many problems we've got to solve.
So this is an area where I would want to exercise judgment -- I would want to find out directly from my Attorney General -- having pursued, having looked at what's out there right now -- are there possibilities of genuine crimes as opposed to really bad policies. And I think it's important-- one of the things we've got to figure out in our political culture generally is distinguishing between really dumb policies and policies that rise to the level of criminal activity. You know, I often get questions about impeachment at town hall meetings and I've said that is not something I think would be fruitful to pursue because I think that impeachment is something that should be reserved for exceptional circumstances. Now, if I found out that there were high officials who knowingly, consciously broke existing laws, engaged in coverups of those crimes with knowledge forefront, then I think a basic principle of our Constitution is nobody above the law -- and I think that's roughly how I would look at it."

Bunch points out that some interpret discussions of waterboarding by officials as grounds for launching a probe.

Wild Thing's comment........

He has big plans for the America he hates so much. The left's version of the messiah is a devil in disguise. And War crimes trials for what? What “crimes” have been committed?

And remember how RUDE he was to Gen. Petraeus? He was totally disrepectful to him. Obama HATES our military and he proves it over and over.

Sounds just like the Nazi anti-Americans who helped the Communist kill thousands of American soldiers and millions of South Vietnamese.

Our ENEMIES are salivating at the prospect of a totalitarian socialist destroying America’s core values, freedoms and strength.

Hey Obama you want WAR crimes, I will give you war crimes you POS, American hater! You can start with Ted Kennedy, John Kerry, Jane Fonda and the other traitors for treason!!

....Thank you Tom for sending this write up to me.

The Pentagon Gets Ready For President Obama

The Pentagon Gets Ready For President Obama

Strategy Page

U.S. military planners are working on how to deal with another round of major cutbacks, in terms of budgets and manpower. This is because one of the major candidates for Commander-in-Chief (president of the United States), Barak Obama, has a video in circulation, of a short speech he gave earlier this year, about how he planned on handling the Department of Defense. His major points were;

"I'm the only major candidate who opposed this war from the beginning; and as president, I will end it.

"Second, I will cut tens of billions of dollars in wasteful spending. I will cut investments in unproven missile defense systems. I will not weaponize space. I will slow our development of future combat systems.

"I will institute an independent defense priorities board to ensure that the Quadrennial Review is not used to justify unnecessary defense spending.

"Third, I will set a goal for a world without nuclear weapons. To seek that goal, I will not develop nuclear weapons; I will seek a global ban on the production of fissile material; and I will negotiate with Russia to take our ICBMs off hair-trigger alert, and to achieve deep cuts in our nuclear arsenal."

There were major cuts when the Cold War ended in the early 1990s, and when Bill Clinton won the presidency. The same drill is expected if Obama wins, and military planners are studying ways they better cope with a new round of cuts.

And this was also at the Strategy Page and the Pentagon obviously has also seen it like we have.

Wild Thing's comment........

This guys plans to disarm America during war and a possible war against nuclear Ayattolahs? Just as China is starting a Cold War with America, especially in Space! He is doing America's enemie's biding.

Catholic Church To All Rev. Pfleger To Return

Scarlett Washington celebrates at St. Sabina when it was announced that the Rev. Michael Pfleger (inset) would be back soon.

Rev. Pfleger to Return to St. Sabina With 'No Restrictions'

Chicago Sun Times

He'll be back at St. Sabina, but he has to stay out of presidential politics

The South Side parish of St. Sabina exploded with shouts of joy and a standing ovation Sunday morning at the news firebrand Catholic pastor Rev. Michael Pfleger would be returning June 16.

Cardinal Francis George temporarily removed the outspoken priest from his parish last week following comments Pfleger made about then-presidential candidate Hillary Clinton. Pfleger had said Clinton believed she was entitled to the Democratic nomination because she is white. Pfleger is white, while most of his parishioners are African-American.

At a three-hour Sunday mass filled with songs and dancing, pastoral associate Kimberly Lymore read a letter from Pfleger in which the priest wrote, "This has been a very painful time for me personally and for our church family."

"Let this time be a teaching moment for us to hear the Lord, to grow closer to him and become even stronger to build a kingdom on Earth as it is in heaven," Pfleger wrote.

Lymore said parish leaders were told by Cardinal George that Pfleger will continue as pastor of the church he has led for 30 years with "no restrictions" -- other than not being able to mention publicly the names of presidential candidates or campaign for them.

On hearing this, several parishioners called out "That's all right."

Asked if it was fair that Pfleger was restricted from talking about the candidates, longtime parishioner Michelle Wong Scott said, "a lot of times, when you're a member, you have to follow your leadership and do what your leaders tell you to do." She said if Cardinal George had removed Pfleger permanently, the parish would have continued the work he started.

Wild Thing's comment.........

The Catholic church is allowing this anti-American, racist, pure Marxist, Farrakhan loving, liberation theologian who is hiding behind Priest's robes, back into his influence and political peddling under the color of religion.

He is only restricted from " other than not being able to mention publicly the names of presidential candidates or campaign for them" , so what! I could do a whole sermon on B. Hussein Obama and his and never mention their names. LOL Even imitate them and never say one word with their names.

This is not a rant at the Catholic church per say, but a disgust at the sheep that don't speak out to their church how wrong this is to do to have priests like this jerk.

Sigh oh well what can one do when the whole world is upside down and backwards and the left is in charge of everything.

Heh heh..... rant....rant....rant that's what we still have a right to do.....at least until Muslim America hating B. Hussein Obama is President.

This rant is finished and this post will destruct in 5 seconds.

Barack's Black Power Black Fist Buddies

Wild Thing's comment..........

Obama condemns his critics for bringing race into the political dialogue, yet he continually laces his campaign stops and speeches with divisive racial commentary and symbolism. Challenge him and you are the one who is called a paranoid racist.

When he took over Trinity United Church of Christ in 1972, Rev. Jeremiah Wright Jr. was a maverick pastor with a wardrobe of dashikis and a militant message. Six years later, he planted a “Free South Africa” sign on the lawn of his church and asked other local religious leaders to follow his lead.

None took him up on the invitation.

The sign stayed until the end of apartheid, long enough to catch the eye of a young Barack Obama, who visited the church in 1985 as a community activist. Obama, not a churchgoer at the time, found himself returning to the sanctuary of Trinity United. In Wright he found both a spiritual mentor and a role model.

Obama's ties to radicals and seditious, America hating groups is disturbing and dangerous. The Black Panthers is a notorious hate group and Obama has been endorsed by them like I posted about awhile back. Also all those in Obama's world are pro Black Panther as well. All of the ministers at Obama's ex-church are friends with Louis Farrakhan and the church gave Farrakhan an award.

Obama had these people at his website. He ONLY took down their endorsements AFTER the news got out to our blogs and on the Fox News. NOT Before. Obama would not have left his hate filled church except we all found out about what was going on there and what was being said by the speakers.

He is arrogant and will become even more so, just watch, I would bet on it. Due to that fact I will also take a guess that these people will also find their way into our White House once Obama is elected as President.

Presidential Candidates To Address LaRaza ~ The Illegal Pandering Auction Begins

John McCain and Barack Obama each to address major Latino gathering

Los Angeles Times Blog

The National Council of La Raza, a leading Latino civil rights and advocacy organization, announced today that both presidential contenders have accepted invitations to speak at its July 12-15 convention in San Diego. No details yet on when each will speak, but their appearances likely will be among the most important they make during the month.

For Obama, the mission is straightforward: Woo an ethnic group that is absolutely essential to his hopes of carrying several key states in November but which heavily supported his rival, Hillary Clinton, during the just-completed Democratic primary season.

Presumably his campaign already will be hard at work on this task before the La Raza get-together, but his speech will offer him a golden opportunity to try to connect with a voting bloc that so far has generally resisted his appeals.

McCain will face more of a balancing act when he takes center stage at the convention.

As an Arizonan who last year was one of the few prominent Republicans on Capitol Hill pushing for controversial legislation that would have created a path to citizenship for most illegal immigrants in the nation, McCain is primed to build upon the inroads President Bush made four years ago in attracting Latino votes to the GOP banner.

Wild Thing's comment........

La Raza is, among the many horrible things it stands for and has done is a racist organization.

That we’ve sunk to the point that presidential nominees feel comfortable pandering to it is beyond unfortunate to say the least.

Attending a La Raza conference in 2008 is akin to attending a US Communist Party conference in 1988. Both organizations are dedicated to the destruction of the USA.

It's unbelievable any Presidential Candidate would do such a thing. Well, it used to be unbelievable. Nowadays, pandering to America's enemies obviously is OK.

McCain SNUBS Billy Graham and Will NOT Meet With Him

McCain Campaign Declines to Meet with Billy Graham

newsmax for complete article

In another disturbing sign that Sen. John McCain has little interest in reaching out to his conservative base, including evangelical Christian voters, his campaign has declined an offer to meet with the Rev. Billy Graham.

For almost six decades, Graham has been America’s most influential preacher and evangelist, a man sought out by every president since Harry Truman.

Today, the 89-year-old Graham is in declining health and stays near his home in Montreat, N.C. His last public appearance, in May 2007, marked the dedication of his library. Three former American presidents -- Jimmy Carter, George H. W. Bush and Bill Clinton -- were on hand to honor Graham.

While meetings with ministers have caused their fair share of controversy in this election cycle, we thought it was worth a try to bring McCain together with America’s most celebrated preacher.

McCain’s campaign responded to Jacobs with the following letter dated June 3, 2008:

"Dear Mr. Jacobs,
Thank you for your kind letter offering to set up a personal meeting between Senator McCain and Dr. Billy Graham.

Senator McCain appreciates your invitation and the valuable opportunity it represents.
Unfortunately, I must pass along our regrets and do not foresee an opportunity to add this event to the calendar.

I know you will understand that with the tremendous demands on his time and the large volume of similar requests, events such as this are extremely difficult to schedule even though each one is important. However, we will keep your event in mind should an opportunity present itself in the future.

I know that the Senator would want me to thank you for your interest and to send his very best wishes.

Sincerely,
Amber Johnson
Director of Scheduling
John McCain 2008 "

The rejection of an offer to meet with Graham is yet another indication that the McCain campaign has made a deliberate, strategic decision to chart a new course for the GOP, a course without the sizeable evangelical Christian voting bloc serving as its base.

The new course is likely designed to pick up disaffected Democrats, even Sen. Hillary Clinton’s women supporters, who are pro-choice.

The danger for McCain is in his campaign’s failure to grasp the size of the born again vote. Latest surveys show that fully 42 percent of all Americans claim to be “born again.”

But the risk is not just that the Republican nominee will lose evangelical voters but that he will lose its massive infrastructure: megachurches with their schools, television programs and massive mailing lists which traditionally play a crucial role for Republicans in voter registration and voter turnout. The cost to the party of replicating this role themselves would be incalculable.

McCain’s new course is a stunning turnabout for the GOP. In the summer of 1980, Ronald Reagan reached out to evangelicals gathered at the Religious Roundtable in a Dallas, Texas, saying to his audience of 10,000, “I know you can’t endorse me, but I want you to know that I endorse you.” It marked the beginning of a GOP relationship with evangelicals that became a winning coalition for three presidents.

Wild Thing's comment........

OK this is something that makes me feel badly personally. I know Billy Graham, he stayed at my parents home when I was growing up. I went to school with one of his daughers. He is one of the finest men. sigh McCain must have monsters inside his head to allow his team person to say no to this meeting. Maybe it is because Billy Graham met with President Bush ? And McCain is trying hard not to look like a Republican so he can keep getting more democrats to vote for him????? But you know what long ago Billy told my parents he was a southern democrat, much like the kind Zell Miller was. And remember that awesome speech Zell Miller made at the RNC convention? It was the best speech made at the entire convention!

I think this is the first time in my life I have seen a Republican candidate try so hard to give the middle finger to the Conservative base of his parrty.

This, on the face of it, seems just plain rude.

Rev. Graham is a fine man who has given his life to God and faith, here and all over the world. Billy Graham is one of the Great Men alive today. McCain is an ass.

Rev. Graham is probably the most apolitical evangelical pastor in modern American history. Unlike Jerry Falwell and James Dobson, Rev. Graham has mostly stayed out of politics. He’s a great man, a real living legend. I don’t know what’s worse—the fact that McQueeg won’t meet with him, or the fact that Democrats seem to think that meeting with Rev. Graham is some kind of negative thing!

UPDATE: This just in at Newsmax

McCain Hopes to Meet With Billy Graham

Newsmax

After a report on Newsmax.com indicated Sen. John McCain had rebuffed an offer to meet with the Rev. Billy Graham, the McCain campaign sought to clarify the matter.

Christian Ferry, McCain’s deputy campaign manager, tells Newsmax the campaign has been in the process of setting up a meeting between McCain and Graham.

Ferry said a misunderstanding of McCain’s intentions apparently arose because on June 3, 2008, the campaign sent what Ferry said was a routine letter declining an offer by Brian Jacobs, a Fort Worth, Texas, minister to broker a meeting between McCain and the evangelist.

Newsmax noted in its report that Jacobs had identified himself as a consultant to the Graham organization who had arranged a similar meeting between Graham and George W. Bush during the 2000 election.

In the June 3 McCain campaign letter, Amber Johnson, director of scheduling for the McCain, wrote to Jacobs, “Thank you for your kind letter offering to set up a personal meeting between Senator McCain and Dr. Billy Graham.

"Senator McCain appreciates your invitation and the valuable opportunity it represents [italics added by McCain campaign]. Unfortunately, I must pass along our regrets and do not foresee an opportunity to add this event to the calendar.”

Ferry said that despite the suggestion that the letter makes regarding no interest in such a meeting, the McCain campaign in fact had already been working with Graham’s son, Franklin Graham, to set up such a meeting.

....Thank you so much Mark for sending this Update to me.

B.Hussein Obama Bikes In Chicago

Obama on a bike ride in Chicago, Sunday, June 8, 2008

The Illinois senator and his wife, Michelle, rode to a neighbor’s house with their daughters, Malia and Sasha, on Sunday. Then the group headed out for the ride along the scenic lake shore. But the outing was cut short by a downpour.

Senator Obama demostrates the opertion of the Obamacycle: the vehicle that the peasants, er, citizens will be allowed to own under his administration. This model is only for the Party faithful.

President Bush responds heh heh

Wild Thing's comment........

The first thing I thought of when I saw this was he was having his "Kerry Moment" right off the bat! Rememebr Kerry and his wind sailing and other things?

Now I am serious about this part, he better be careful being out in public, “as a black man he can get shot for just going to the gas station” according to his wife Michelle the racist.

LMAO

Here is some more from the same speech

It looks like he is trying to blame the crowd for his ineptitude.

And this is the guy who’s going to “fix” the country, stop global warming, keep the oceans from rising, give everyone free healthcare, convince the world’s terrorists and dictators to sing kumbaya with him, and “heal” our “broken nation”? What an idiot.

Another Terrorist In Obamaland Rashid Khalidi

"Sean Hannity has done yeoman's work at exposing the radical ties Barack Obama has to any number of far-leftist people. But perhaps none is any more disturbing than his ties to Rashid Khalidi, a radical associated with the Palestinian Liberation Organization (PLO) and the late Yassir Arafat. In the video above, Daniel Pipes explains the close and recent connection Obama has with Khalidi." -Redstate and McCain websites

Wild Thing's comment........

America ....where anyone can become a Presidential candidate including a racist couple who is supported, endorsed and favored by terrorists around the world.

This time if we and when our country, or Americans are attacked on our own soil or in any part of the world, we can go straight to the Commander in Chief if Obama wins this election. Because his cut backs in our military he plans on doing, his non support of the war against Islam and his connections to those that want to kill us will make B.Hussein Obama owning his part of the blame!!!!

McCain Attacked Soros-Funded Dem Effort -- But Soros Gave $300,000 For Legal Defense Of McCain-Feingold

John McCain: George Soros' Best Friend

A little about George Soros:

Sources:
Chronicles Magazinewww.ChroniclesMagazine.org

George Soros was born in Budapest in 1930 but, today, spends most of his time in New York City. Not much is known about his early years. He is the only eminent “holocaust survivor” who has been accused of collaboration with the Nazis.

In 1947, he managed to sneak through the Iron Curtain, and, the official story goes, “he landed penniless in London, but by hard work and sheer genius, he rose to become one of the planet’s most successful investors and richest men.”

George Soros is out to deconstruct nations and states as Europe has known them for centuries, with Russia always the main prize. In an interview with the Moscow daily Komersant (August 8, 1997), he declared that “a strong central government in Russia cannot be democratic.” “The rescue of a free Russian economy depends on the attraction of Western investments,” he added, and, to that end, “Russia’s general public must accept the ideology of an open society.”

There is not one patriot (Russian, Croat, Latvian, Serb, Rumanian, Hungarian) or one practicing Christian on Soros’ payroll. In all postcommunist countries, Soros relies on the sons and daughters of the old communist establishment, who are less likely to be tainted by any atavistic attachments to their native soil, culture, and traditions.

The more successful among them-and the most loyal-may spend years drifting from one “project” to another, and some have been living that way for more than a decade. Soros has revealed (in Underwriting Democracy) that his Open Society foundations will help create an international web, at the heart of which will be the computerized base of personal data that will enable Western multinationals to find the local candidates they need.

Soros’ agenda in world affairs is clear from the fact that his appointees include Gen. Wesley Clark, who commanded NATO forces in the war against Serbia in 1999; Louise Arbour, the former chief prosecutor of the Yugoslav war-crimes tribunal at The Hague; former assistant secretary of state Morton Abramowitz, an enthusiastic supporter of Bosnian Muslims and Albanians in the wars of Yugoslav succession; and former national security advisor Zbigniew Brzezinski, whose visceral Russophobia aided and abetted the rise of Osama bin Laden and his jihadist cohorts.

As Gilles d’Aymery noted two years ago, Soros is not just the power behind the Open Society Institute, the U.S. Institute of Peace, the National Endowment for Democracy, Human Rights Watch, Amnesty International, and the International Crisis Group:

"Like an immense Jules Verne octopus, he extends his tentacles all over Eastern Europe, South-Eastern Europe, the Caucasus as well as the republics of the former Soviet Union. With the help of these various groups it is possible not only to shape but to create the news, the agenda and public opinion to further aims which are, in short, the control of the world, its natural resources and the furtherance of the uniform ideal of a perfect world polity made in America.“

Soros pledged to raise $75 million to defeat President Bush in the 2004 Presidential election, and personally donated nearly a third of that amount to anti-Bush groups (see The Shadow Party). He gave $5 million to MoveOn.org, the group that produced political ads likening Bush to Adolf Hitler. He also contributed $10 million to a Democratic Party 2004 get-out-the-vote initiative called America Coming Together, whose directors include representatives from the AFL-CIO, the Sierra Club, the Service Employees International Union, and EMILY’s List. He further pledged $3 million to the Center for American Progress (CAP), a think-tank headed by former Clinton chief-of-staff John Podesta.

PBS broadcaster and Schumann Center for Media and Democracy President Bill Moyers is a trustee of the Open Society Institute’s Board of Directors. The network of Soros foundations - the most prominent of which is the Open Society Institute - supports a wide array of leftist groups and causes.

In December of 2006, Soros met with Democratic presidential hopeful Senator Barack Obama in his New York office. Soros had previously hosted a fund-raiser for Obama during the latter’s 2004 campaign for the Senate.

On January 16, 2007, Obama announced the creation of a presidential exploratory committee, and within hours Soros sent the senator a contribution of $2,100, the maximum amount allowable under campaign finance laws.

Later that week the New York Daily News reported that Soros would back Obama over Senator Hillary Clinton, whom he had also supported in the past. Soros’s announcement was seen as a repudiation of Clinton’s presidential aspirations, though Soros said he would support the New York senator were she to win the Democratic nomination.

Obama Hype From Those That Worship Him

Rep. Jesse Jackson Jr. (D-Ill.), son of the one-time presidential contender, said Obama’s victory overwhelmed him.

“I cried all night. I’m going to be crying for the next four years,” he said. “What Barack Obama has accomplished is the single most extraordinary event that has occurred in the 232 years of the nation’s political history. ... The event itself is so extraordinary that another chapter could be added to the Bible to chronicle its significance.”

Chris Matthews Effusive Over Barack 'New Testament' Obama

“I’ve been following politics since I was about 5,” said Mr. Matthews. “I’ve never seen anything like this. This is bigger than Kennedy. [Obama] comes along, and he seems to have the answers. This is the New Testament. This is surprising.”

" I really think there’s a Salieri-Mozart thing going on here,” said Mr. Matthews. “Salieri was the court composer who did everything right. He was impressive. Along comes Mozart. And everybody couldn’t get the music out of their heads. Hillary is really good at doing what she is supposed to do. She’s impressive. He’s inspirational. That’s the difference. One’s the court composer. And one is the genius. There’s something he does. I don’t know what. Oprah said it. It’s not that he’s black. It’s that he’s brilliant.”

The entire Obama phenomena creeps me out. Hussein seems to be setting himself up for the office of Antichrist.

British MP George Galloway to Hamas TV Says He Prays For Obama His Favorite

British MP George Galloway to Hamas TV:" I Pray for the Safety of Barack Obama. Arab Puppet Presidents and Corrupt Kings Will Discover That the Ground Has Moved under their Feet in November "

Following is an interview with British MP George Galloway, which aired on Al-Aqsa TV on May 2, 2008:

George Galloway: " I hope that the new presidency in the United States... I pray for the safety of Barack Obama, and I pray that he can shift the United States attitude to this question. But as you know, Palestine cannot free itself. It is a small country against a huge superpower. The real problem is not in Palestine. It's not even in London or Washington. The real problem is in the Arab world. From Marrakesh to Bahrain – 300 million Arabs, oil at 136 dollars per barrel... If the Arabs wanted to solve this Palestine problem, they could do so in six days.

[...]

The Americans are not in a position to intervene anywhere in the Arab world, because they have been defeated by the muqawama [resistance] in Iraq. And so, sunk in this swamp in Iraq and in Afghanistan, the U.S. is no longer able to assist its puppets in the Middle East. So as we come towards the November elections, and the real prospect of a significant victory for Obama, everyone will have to re-find their footing, and these puppet presidents and corrupt kings may discover that the ground has moved under their feet, Allah willing.

[...]

I think there are important changes coming in Israel also. Olmert may be in prison by the weekend. He may be replaced by the foreign minister or by Barak. He may be replaced, God forbid, by Netanyahu. I don't believe the key lies in Tel Aviv. Israel is not an independent country. It must act under the orders of the United States, which provides every bullet and every dollar. So we have to change the policy of the United States, through our work in Europe, through a change in the attitude, or a change of the leaders of the Arab world, to show the United States that it must change its policy in the region. After all, if the United States can take everything she wants from the Arabs, and still follow a policy of cutting throats of the Arabs – why to change? If you can have whatever you want, and do whatever you want – well, why to change?"

Wild Thing's comment.......

More slime as they endorse B.Hussein O.

Obama will go down in history as beating out the Clinton's for the lowest of the low associations. And I didn't think anyone could top Bill and Hillary in that area.

What Is It With Dems and Underwear

Daily News

Barack Obama ’08 boxer-briefs from Andrew Christian.

As campaign booty goes, this is pretty cheeky.

A trendy underwear designer started selling Barack Obama boxer-briefs Thursday, promising to donate $1 from each $29 sale to the Democrat's coffers.

The slim-fit undies by Andrew Christian sport a Che Guevaraesque silhouette of the senator's face on the front and the numbers '08 on the back.

"I'm not sure I'd wear those even underneath my clothes," Obama's communications director, Robert Gibbs, said when shown a photo of the skivvies.

"Wow!" he added, taking a moment to chuckle. "Those are virtually indescribable. They're probably really hip and expensive."

The designer mailed a package of complimentary unmentionables to Obama - so the Daily News asked if he would wear them.

"No!" Gibbs replied quickly. "That would be really weird."

As Gibbs spoke, a young female staffer passed by and caught a glimpse of the photo.

"Oh!" she exclaimed, blushing.

Christian said the Obama bottoms are his only campaign-related underwear, but that could change.

"If she gets the vice presidency, we'll definitely add a Hillary bra or camisole," he said.

As a Democrat, he has no plans for any John McCain shorts and he guessed they wouldn't be a hot seller, anyway.

"It probably wouldn't be as hip and as cool as the Obama underwear," Christian said.

Wild Thing's comment........

I’m guessing they would have done “bloomers” for Mrs. Clinton.

I hate how these liberal idiots try to turn all of their presidential candidates into some sort of sex symbol. We had to put up with this same crap with Clinton for eight years. Then they tried it with Al Gore and the airbrushed “package” photo, but even all the makeup artists in Hollywood couldn't make him look sexy. Then in 2004 we had the John Kerry “surfer dude” and “skier dude” photos. Now over the next few months we get to see Obama, AKA the black Alfred E. Newman transformed into a sex symbol.

RNC Excited About Getting Democrats Vote ~ Sheesh!

Sources:
Rush Limbaugh wesite 24/7 membership that I belong to: Various Transcript from his show about McCain and the RNC

Democrats for McCain
"Democrats for McCain
WND

"The campaign of Sen. John McCain is working hard to get Democratic voters re-registered as Republicans in some state primaries in an effort to maximize his primary votes and secure the GOP presidential nomination in the fall.
We're doing a re-registration drive" for Democrats "to re-register as Republicans so their votes do count when they vote for John McCain," the spokesman said. "That's kind of one of our big issues. "

Ladies and gentlemen, have finally figured out what I think McCain is up to with this whole campaign. I think with his constant wooing of Democrats, his constant wooing of independents and with a lot of focus on the independents, and his -- what appears to me -- studied and purposeful ignoring of congressional races run by Republicans, he doesn't appear to have any interest in having any coattails.

I think the objective that the McCain campaign has is to win this election with a cross-section of votes that would end up giving McCain the ability to say it was independents that elected him. Not Republicans and not Democrats.

But the problem with this strategery of McCain's -- let's say it he pulls it off, say he wins and runs around saying it was independents that put him over the top -- he's not going to have any backing in Congress. He's not going to have any support. Republicans are not going to be able to say they did it for him. He's not going to give them credit. Democrats by the same token, and I don't know how many independents there are going to be in Congress. I mean I don't even think we have one anymore. Bernie Sanders is independent voting socialist. Whatever. He's independent. Okay. Well, granted. There's one independent in the whole Congress, Bernie Sanders in the United States Senate. Oh, I take it back. Lieberman. So there's two of them. Okay, let's say they both get reelected. I don't even know if Sanders is up. I know Lieberman isn't.

So they'll probably be there. So McCain's going to have a constituency of two out of 535 members. (laughing) This is just how it works. One of the things that gave me a heads-up on this is this little story from The Hill blog on Capitol Hill. "Democrats Accuse McCain on Climate." Now, get this. "Senator John McCain's hesitation to endorse climate change legislation on the Senate floor this week has Democrats charging him with paying lip service to the issue." Very, very, very interesting.

So he's for the cap-and-trade bill that McConnell shut down yesterday by having the whole thing read. It took 'em 'til about midnight last night to read the whole thing, 492 pages. He's out there saying he's all for this. He's made a number of speeches about it. He's all for the cap-and-trade bill, global warming is manmade; gotta stop it. We gotta distance ourselves from the Bush administration policy on this, yada yada yada yada; then the bill shows up on the floor of the Senate this week and McCain is nowhere near there participating in it, voting for it, endorsing it, speechifying on it.

I am one out of ten Republicans not joining John McCain so far. And that's okay. Don't need me and don't need those of you who also comprise the one out of ten who may not be enamored of Senator McCain. I hear from a lot of you so I know you are out there, the conservatives that throughout the day wrestle with voting or not voting for McCain. And those of you too that say you will vote for him because of Obama but it is not what you want because you are conservatives.

Then he , RNC Chair Mike Duncan and McCain too, goes on to talk about how proud they are they're getting Democrats, how excited the Republican National Committee is to be getting Democrat and independent votes, and Senator McCain is out there actively cultivating them, the Republican National Committee is telling us all .

These people that are joining McCain are not enamored of McCain. They are angry women fed up with the Democrat Party. They're not looking at McCain as their ideal candidate in terms of issues and ideas. They're joining McCain as a slap at the Democrat Party. This is what I feared. This is what I feared way, way back many, many moons ago -- a little Indian lingo there.

I told you that the problem the Republican Party faces, if they're going to go out and recruit Democrats, they better recruit them as converted-to-Republican conservatives, as Reagan did.

You know, I wish somebody would explain to the Republican National Committee and to Senator McCain that you don't win an election with the most independents. This is not how elections are won! Both parties try to secure their bases, which is fascinating about this election because it appears that both party bases are upset with who the parties have nominated. You've got a lot of Democrat women who are fed up. You got a lot of Republicans, more than one out of ten -- in fact far more than one out of ten Republicans -- who are dissatisfied with their party's nominee, John McCain.

What's happening here is that they're going out for all of the independents first and saying, "To hell with the base." This is...convoluted. I've never seen it done this way before.

The Republican National Committee is running an ad targeting Democrats. They released this ad. It's an Internet video of Democrats questioning Obama's readiness. So the RNC is out there targeting Democrats who theoretically respect the people in this ad. Here's the first half of the ad.

All right, so here's an ad. It's a Web ad. It runs about 70 seconds. It's run by the Republican National Committee, featuring all these Democrats talking about Obama's unfitness, lack of experience. It's reaching out to Democrats. Now, I haven't seen the videos. I don't know what kind of graphics are there, but just in the audio here, I find it fascinating that here is an ad ostensibly to convince people to vote for Senator McCain that does not ask them to do that. Here's an ad that simply takes these Democrats and talks about how Obama is unqualified, and somehow this is a come-on to Democrats: "Hey, join us. Join us on the Republican side."

What is apparent to me is that the RNC understands that there is some -- Uh, uh, how should I say? -- lack of enthusiasm among some Republicans for Senator McCain, and so they're going to have to go out and get these Democrats if they have a chance.

HILLARY: In this election, we need a nominee who can pass the commander-in-chief test, someone ready on day one to defend our country and keep our families safe. And we need a president who passes that test.

JOHN EDWARDS: Rhetoric's not enough. Highfalutin language is not enough.

HILLARY: There's no time for speeches and on-the-job training. Senator McCain will bring a lifetime of experience, uh, to the campaign, I will bring a lifetime of experience -- and Senator Obama will bring a speech that he gave in 2002.

RUSH: Okay, so the first half of the ad is Hillary and John Edwards talking about Obama and his lack of qualifications. So far so good? It's a Republican National Committee ad. Here is part two of the ad: Senator Biden, Senator Clinton, George Stephanopoulos, and former President Bill Clinton talking about Obama.

STEPHANOPOULOS: You were asked, "Is he ready?" You said, "I think he can be ready but right now I don't believe he is. The presidency is not something that lends itself to on-the-job training."

BIDEN: I think I -- I stand by the statement.

CLINTON: When is the last time we elected a president based on one year of service in the Senate before he started running? He will have been a Senator longer by the time he's inaugurated, but essentially once you run for president full time you don't have time to do much else.

HILLARY: I think it's imperative that each of us be able to demonstrate we can cross the commander-in-chief threshold, and I believe that I've done that; certainly Senator McCain has done that and you'll have to ask Senator Obama with respect to his candidacy.

But let's hypothetically say that the polling data is correct and that the Democrats are going to have at least a 50-seat majority in the House and a seven-seat majority in the Senate, at the bare minimum. That means that the Democrat agenda is what's going to pass in both houses of Congress. The Democrats have seven seats. I know you need 60 seats there, but if you've got seven already, they'll be able to find three moderate Republicans to go along with them, two of them I can think of off the top of my head.

So with that constant, here you have Obama as president, and let's take a look each one individually, because I've analyzed what I think will happen. I think Obama and his inexperience will show and rise to the top. It's going to be really key as to who he has running his administration, who his legislative aides are, chief of staff, the people that are going to be dealing with Congress on his behalf because he's not up to it. He has no experience. He's a community organizer, he's a senator; he hasn't crossed the aisle much, if at all. He's got a lot of language. He has a lot of soaring language.

He has some specific proposals, but he's basically running the liberal campaign playbook from 30 and 50 years ago. I think people like Pelosi, Harry Reid, whoever's running the Senate, they could roll him and get what they want, because no matter who the president is and who runs Congress, there's always a battle between the two branches. Congress thinks they ought to be president. So there would be some battles with Obama.

Let's take McCain. And, by the way, there's another constant here. Presidents these days define their legacies as getting things done. That translates into having legislation passed.

We conservatives count things not getting done as progress, if they're going to be done by liberals. But McCain doesn't look at it that way, looks at getting things done. If all he's got to work with is that vast majority of Democrats in the House and in the Senate, then the Democrats still logically carry the day on the agenda. With McCain, who has shown an eagerness, a willingness and even a joyfulness in crossing the aisle and working with them.

So if a Democrat agenda, if a liberal Democrat agenda is going to dominate -- not saying it's going to win on everything -- but if it dominates, does it matter who's in the White House if the country is going to be negatively impacted by what comes out of Congress in terms of being able to stop it? McCain would be able to stop it? I don't frankly know that he would want to because then he wouldn't be getting things done.

So in either scenario, on paper, the future looks like we're going to take a dip. I don't know if it means war in Iran. I do know it means massive tax increases, an expansion of government, a loss of individual liberty. Now, do we want this to happen? I haven't directed people on how to vote here. Do you want this to happen with a Republican president?

Would McCain try to stand up for blocking tax increases?

I'm sure he would. I think. Can't be sure, because it is McCain after all.

See, it's a little bit of an unknown because when Bush first announced his tax cuts, McCain was diametrically opposed. But yeah, he could oppose them.

Let's say McCain is the guy, a lot of people say, "Rush, this is silly, you can't have Obama in there, we're going to have at least two Supreme Court appointments." Yeah, I understand that.

Supreme Court Judges

So let's say, take your favorite judge out there that you think would be great on the Supreme Court, your favorite conservative judge, McCain in the White House nominates the guy, goes over to the Senate where you have the same guys: You got Patrick Leahy, you got Biden, you have Kennedy and probably a couple more on that committee, based on the election returns. You've got Dick Durbin, you have Senator Dianne Feinstein, Chuck Schumer, and a couple more just like 'em, can you tell me what's going to happen to McCain's judicial nominees for the Supreme Court?

You just can't leave the Supreme Court vacant. If they keep rejecting McCain's nominees, he's gotta do what? Gotta send people up that they'll approve.

McCain's not even running to have a bunch of Republicans elected with him in the Congress. I don't see any action by the RNC to help forestall these big Democrat majorities.

I think there are more Republicans that are angry at McCain than are angry at Bush, to be quite honest. There are more Republicans who have more visceral anger at McCain than they do Bush. But you just heard the RNC guy say, "look at these Democrats, we're attracting all these Democrats," so here's the scenario.

Let me set the table. McCain wins attracting Democrats as Democrats, not as converted to Republican or conservative Democrats, but as Democrats. And so then, then what do you have? Then you have these country club blue-blood gang and the Rockefeller Republicans, and they're out there saying, "See, you conservatives, we don't even need you. This is the future of the Republican Party, independents and Democrats and moderate Republicans, we don't need you." And they're going to get the wrong idea that that's how you win.

Look, I have never advocated losing an election, and every time somebody calls and suggests it, look, it happens every year, it happened in '92, "Rush, let's just lose and let the country see what a rotten guy Clinton is and we'll be back in four years." You can't trust that. I've never advocated losing. I don't think you win by losing. But at the same time there are some things to consider here if you're interested in conservatism being rebuilt and being able to nominate the Republican Party once again. So it's very convoluted, it is complicated, going to take a lot of thought by a lot of people.

I told you earlier Tom Sowell said:

"Two of the most inadequate candidates ever. What it boils down to him is Iran and nuclear weapons and their pursuit of them, and there's only one guy he has any hope and faith in that will stop it, and that's McCain."

And so that's his decision. All the rest of it's academic to him, there's no difference in the two; they're both inadequate.

In fact, you know what? I would say that neither of these two candidates is running on substance. They're both running on image. You have Obama running on the image, first black nominee. McCain's image is war hero. If you strip that away from both guys, you strip Obama's race away from him, you strip McCain's war hero status away, what have we got here? Literally what do we have? And this is why people are so disappointed. Why in the hell in a country of 300 million people is this the best we can come up with, on either side?

So what do we do? Where do we go from here. How do we get conservatives back in power or keep the few we have in power for the future.

Well, one of the things I have suggested is focusing a lot on the future. These are cycles. We can rebuild. The conservative movement can triumph once again. It's going to have to start locally, supporting state and local conservatives in their quest, getting to know who they are, supporting them, voting for them, giving them confidence to keep going. The Club for Growth, a conservative group, had a big night Tuesday. Two candidates it endorsed and funded prevailed in hotly contested Republican primaries in New Mexico and California. This is how it's done.

Here are the details on the Club for Growth story. They're a conservative anti-tax group. Steve Moore used to head 'em up, Pat Toomey now does. Big night Tuesday "as the two candidates it endorsed and funded prevailed in hotly contested Republican primaries in New Mexico and California. In New Mexico, Rep. Steve Pearce narrowly won the Republican primary for retiring GOP Sen. Pete V. Domenici's seat, defeating his more moderate opponent, Rep. Heather Wilson, 51 percent to 49 percent." Heather Wilson, toast, moderate Republican in Arizona.

"Pearce benefited from running as an unapologetic conservative in a low-turnout Republican primary -- and received key assistance from the Club for Growth. ... In California, another Club-backed candidate, conservative state Sen. Tom McClintock, easily prevailed over former Rep. Doug Ose in the Republican primary to succeed retiring Rep. John Doolittle. McClintock is a well-known conservative icon throughout the state, and while in the Legislature, he has been a vocal opponent of tax increases and wasteful government spending."

So this is the future. These are new roots being planted, and these are the kind of things that are going to have to happen all across the country along with other things in order to bring about this rebirth of conservative -- and it isn't going to be that hard, and it isn't going to take that long.

Wild Thing's comment......

I agree with Rush there is a positive future that we must not give up on. We might have to start over, a rebirth of conservatism like Rush said, but it can happen. I believe in this Country and what it has stood for and stood against too, and I will never give up on her.

The thing I feel the worst about are Veterans, and our troops today. All that served our country to keep it the best country in the world, and we get low life politicans that do all they can do destroy our freedoms with the swipe of a pen and a vote in our Houses on Capitol Hill. Veterans that fought for our land, our country, to be told we can't drill for oil on it, that borders must remain open, that illegals have more rights then legal citizens including the very Veterans that fought to keep us secure. Politicans creating a socialist/communist shadow party to belong to as they scheme and plan how to destroy this great Nation from within. Yes our Veterans deserve better and they will get our country back, not in this election but I pray to God it will be in the next one and all the rest after that.
There are good men out there, conservatives and we need to seek them out and support them.
Let our RNC/GOP know how we feel and never give up.

I wish all our Veterans didn't have to see all this happening.

Can you imagine if all the conservatives were calling and writing to the RNC and GOP and telling them off, how we feel, how this whole thing is a travesty to our party, to America. Thousands upon thousands of people doing this. Bomb them with emails and phone calls. Maybe that would help too.

There were so many great comments yesterday, things that really should be seen again and pertain sooooo much to this post and what has been happeing with our Republican party. I am going to put some of them here.

Adding to this what Tom said yesterday in a comment:
"McCain may win the presidency. But there is no Republican Party left."

And from Lynn and this is just what it feels like too:
"I don't like being tossed aside like last week's leftovers."

Like Mark said yesterday in a comment:

"The RNC has pulled out all the stops to totally destroy the Conservative movement that created the juggernaut of the Reagan coalition. Someone said, McCain had to deal with the conservatives, that McCain had to bring them back into the fold. He has not done that. Obviously, to say he doesn't need us is an understatement, from him and the RNC.
This attitude of McCain and the RNC says it all. "

From Jack and this is true too that is why so many of us have stopped donating to our party till this tantrum against conservatives is done:
"no longer need the members only the money"

And from Rhod's comment:
"We know instantly which things are proper and which aren't, when we're being conned, exploited, controlled and set up."

And from Les:
"Both major political parties have failed the country."

Jury Finds Tony Rezko Guilty On 16 Of 24 Charges

Obama's statement, you are going to love this omg LOL

B.Hussein O.'s statement on Tony Rezko being convicted:

Here is the full text of BHO's spewage as released by BHO's campaign.

"I’m saddened by today’s verdict. This isn’t the Tony Rezko I knew, but now he has been convicted by a jury on multiple charges that once again shine a spotlight on the need for reform. I encourage the General Assembly to take whatever steps are necessary to prevent these kinds of abuses in the future."

Jury Finds Tony Rezko Guilty On 16 Of 24 Charges
Political Fundraiser Has Surrendered, To Begin Serving Time Immediately

CBS ...for complete article

A prominent fundraiser for Sen. Barack Obama and Gov. Rod Blagojevich was convicted Wednesday of fraud and money laundering after a high-profile federal trial provided an unusually detailed glimpse of the pay-to-play politics that has made Illinois infamous.

Antoin "Tony" Rezko, 52, showed no emotion as the jury delivered a mixed verdict that found him guilty of scheming with the government's star witness to get kickbacks out of money management firms wanting state business, but acquitted him of charges that included attempted extortion.

Rezko attorney Joseph Duffy said the defense is "obviously very disappointed" in the jury's guilty verdicts. He said Wednesday afternoon they will pursue and appeal.

Duffy says Rezko strongly believes he is innocent.

Duffy says it was Rezko's decision to surrender and begin serving his sentence. Sentencing is set for September 3rd at 10 a.m.

The jury's mixed verdict acquitted Rezko of some of the most serious charges, including attempted extortion. Rezko was found guilty of 16 of 24 counts.

He was found guilty on the two more serious counts, on money laundering and aiding and abetting money laundering, counts 23 and 24.

The jury obviously took issue with some of the charges, resulting in the eight acquittals. They wrestled over matters in a 13-day deliberation process, delivering its verdict after a nine-week trial.

But DuPage County State's Attorney Joe Birkett, who ran against Blagojevich in the 2006 race for governor:

"The conviction of Tony Rezko represents a deep stain on the Democratic Party in Illinois. Democrats from top to bottom, including Barack Obama, stood idly by — and in some instances directly benefited — while the massive Blagojevich corruption scheme flourished. They rode into office promising to clean up after the George Ryan scandals and they have taken corruption in Illinois to a new low. They ought to be held accountable at the polls starting this November."

This is another write up on it with added information
Chicago Tribune

8 Things about Obama and Rezko Chicago Sun Times

Having a hard time keeping track of the facts? Here are eight things to know:

1. They met in 1990. Obama was a student at Harvard Law School and got an unsolicited job offer from Rezko, then a low-income housing developer in Chicago. Obama turned it down.

2. Obama took a job in 1993 with a small Chicago law firm, Davis Miner Barnhill, that represents developers -- primarily not-for-profit groups -- building low-income housing with government funds.

3. One of the firm's not-for-profit clients -- the Woodlawn Preservation and Investment Corp., co-founded by Obama's then-boss Allison Davis -- was partners with Rezko's company in a 1995 deal to convert an abandoned nursing home at 61st and Drexel into low-income apartments. Altogether, Obama spent 32 hours on the project, according to the firm. Only five hours of that came after Rezko and WPIC became partners, the firm says. The rest of the future senator's time was helping WPIC strike the deal with Rezko. Rezko's company, Rezmar Corp., also partnered with the firm's clients in four later deals -- none of which involved Obama, according to the firm. In each deal, Rezmar "made the decisions for the joint venture," says William Miceli, an attorney with the firm.

4. In 1995, Obama began campaigning for a seat in the Illinois Senate. Among his earliest supporters: Rezko. Two Rezko companies donated a total of $2,000. Obama was elected in 1996 -- representing a district that included 11 of Rezko's 30 low-income housing projects.

5. Rezko's low-income housing empire began crumbling in 2001, when his company stopped making mortgage payments on the old nursing home that had been converted into apartments. The state foreclosed on the building -- which was in Obama's Illinois Senate district.

6. In 2003, Obama announced he was running for the U.S. Senate, and Rezko -- a member of his campaign finance committee -- held a lavish fund-raiser June 27, 2003, at his Wilmette mansion.

7. A few months after Obama became a U.S. senator, he and Rezko's wife, Rita, bought adjacent pieces of property from a doctor in Chicago's Kenwood neighborhood -- a deal that has dogged Obama the last two years. The doctor sold the mansion to Obama for $1.65 million -- $300,000 below the asking price. Rezko's wife paid full price -- $625,000 -- for the adjacent vacant lot. The deals closed in June 2005. Six months later, Obama paid Rezko's wife $104,500 for a strip of her land, so he could have a bigger yard. At the time, it had been widely reported that Tony Rezko was under federal investigation. Questioned later about the timing of the Rezko deal, Obama called it "boneheaded" because people might think the Rezkos had done him a favor.

8. Eight months later -- in October 2006 -- Rezko was indicted on charges he solicited kickbacks from companies seeking state pension business under his friend Gov. Blagojevich. Federal prosecutors maintain that $10,000 from the alleged kickback scheme was donated to Obama's run for the U.S. Senate. Obama has given the money to charity.

Wild Thing's comment........

Apparently obama had absolutely no idea what was going on around him for decades. Rezko, Wright, Pfleger...all of them somehow are not the people he once knew. LMAO

He said the same thing about each one of them..."This isn't the FILL IN THE BLANK I knew."

After Manhatten goes up in a nuke fireball he will say ...” That was the Amadmanjihad that I knew.... um.. um...um

Liberal mental disease at its finest... I guess it only matters if they say it does... we are in for a dosey come November.

I just found out the REAL reason Rezko and Wright aren’t the people Obama knew. heh heh

GOP/RNC Convention To Commemorate Earth Day 2008

GOP Convention website

The GOP/RNC just keeps kicking the conservatives to the curb! Good grief!

All I can say is I am sure glad November is not here yet. We have a few more months before Bush leaves office. He does not get a gold star, but he sure was never as bad as what we have to vote for this time.

McCain's speech Tuesday night reaching out to Democrats and Independents what the heck does he have to do that for. He didn't want to allow the video of Rev. Wright in that video ad and told of the people that did it. But it is ok with him to treat conservatives the way he does.

The legacy of Ronald Reagan deserves better than the present day RNC and GOP.I guess I shouldn't be surprised, since I already posted that McCain has Gone Green shopping at his website. ( shaking my head )

I am beyond disgusted!
(OK end of my rant)

Barack Obama Image Makers -- "A Face in the Crowd" ?

Elia Kazan's brilliant 1957 film: A Face In the Crowd. Andy Griffith's first movie. It was disparaged by the media because they saw how accurately it portrayed them.

This is a clip from the film or behind the scenes at Barack Obama's campaign headquarters????

"People don't want debate, they want slogans! Time for a change! "

Wild Thing's comment.......

The film shows you just where and how and why the age of “Image” started, how the new medium of Television shaped it, and and how urgent it was that everyone in public life learned its ground rules, as necessary for survival. Woe unto him who thought he didn’t have to abide by those rules. HOWEVER , in some ways we have passed through that point-—we’ve gone from Lonesome Rhodes to Chance the Gardener, thirty some years later.

Yet maybe that’s just a mutation, with the same essentials left intact. People who responded to Bill Clinton in the early nineties and Obama today, are unaware of this history, they are just a new generation always eager to allow stardust in their eyes, and “believe” in something again. Like we have seen with the chanting for Obama and the way many reacted even to Bill Clinton back then yuk!

Which is why people like those two always appeal to those without experience, who like the world explained to them in the simplest terms, and who want to take their medicine but have it taste really good.

“T’was ever thus”. And what keeps this going is precisely that we have NO sense of history, not even any sense of the history of Popular Culture Artifacts, as exemplified by a very good movie like A Face in the Crowd.

Then there are those like the Farrakhan and that ilk that have their own agenda, but that would be another story. haha

Police Shut Down Artist’s ‘Assassination’ Show

Police Shut Down Artist’s ‘Assassination’ Show

New York Times City Room

The sign for an art installation inside a storefront at 264 West 40th Street was later covered up. (Photo: Nicholas W. Skyles/The New York Times)

This morning, a Boston-born performance artist, Yazmany Arboleda, tried to set up a provocative art exhibition in a vacant storefront on West 40th Street in Midtown Manhattan with the title, “The Assassination of Hillary Clinton/The Assassination of Barack Obama,” in neatly stenciled letters on the plate glass windows at street level.

By 9:30 a.m., New York City police detectives and Secret Service agents had shut down the exhibition, and building workers quickly covered over the inflammatory title with large sheets of brown paper and blue masking tape. The gallery is across the street from the southern entrance to The New York Times building.

The police officers declined to answer any questions, and at first would not permit reporters to speak with Mr. Arboleda, who was wearing a black T-shirt and making cellphone calls from inside the makeshift gallery.

Later, Mr. Arboleda, who is 27, said in an interview: “It’s art. It’s not supposed to be harmful. It’s about character assassination — about how Obama and Hillary have been portrayed by the media.” He added, “It’s about the media.”

Mr. Arboleda said the exhibition was to open on Thursday and run all day.

The interview was abruptly ended as Mr. Arboleda was led off to the Midtown South police precinct for what he called an interrogation.

Reached by telephone this morning, Eric Joza, the building manager for the building at 264 West 40th Street, between Eighth and Seventh Avenues, said:

“I had no idea what he was going to do. All I knew is that he was an artist and was going to use the store for two days: today and tomorrow.” There are offices above the storefront.

Mr. Joza would not identify the building’s owner, and he would not disclose the terms of the lease or the previous occupant of the storefront, beyond saying that the storefront had been vacant.

Mr. Arboleda has even set up elaborate Web sites, one for Mrs. Clinton and one for Mr. Obama.

Shortly after 11:30 a.m., Mr. Arboleda called reporters to let them know that he had been released.

After the police arrived, building workers quickly covered up the installation. (Photo: Julie Rosenberg/The New York Times)

“The Secret Service had to do a whole questionnaire with me,” he said. “It was about an hour of questioning. They asked if I owned guns, if I was a violent person, if I had ever been institutionalized.”

Mr. Arboleda answered no. Nonetheless, he said the Secret Service asked him to take down the exhibition title from the window.

“I’m renting that space; the space was allocated for an exhibition and it’s my right to put those words up,” he said. “They said it could excite someone to do something crazy, like break the window. It’s terrible, because they’re violating my rights. If someone breaks a window, they’re committing a crime.”

He added, “The exhibition is supposed to be about character assassination. It’s philosophical and metaphorical.” He said he had not yet decided whether to take down the exhibition’s title, saying he first needed to speak to representatives of the building’s owner.

Police Commissioner Raymond W. Kelly, speaking to reporters at 1 Police Plaza around noon, said, “I am not certain he has been arrested,” then added,

“He put up signs indicating the assassination of Senator Clinton and Barack Obama. And we notified the Secret Service. This individual is being spoken to. He apparently made statements that had to with their reputation. This is all under investigation.”

Asked whether the artwork was being seen as dangerous, Mr. Kelly said:

“Obviously, it sounds totally inappropriate. We need more information as to what the purpose of it was. As I say, apparently he made some statements that he was referring to their reputations … don’t know, we will have to get more information. But he is being questioned now by our detectives and the Secret Service.”

(In fact, when Mr. Kelly spoke, Mr. Arboleda had already been released from custody a short while earlier.)
According to Mr. Arboleda’s Web sites, he was born in Boston in 1981 and lives in New York City. His family moved to Medellín, Colombia, shortly after he was born, and lived there until 1992. He holds a master’s degree in architecture from the Catholic University of America and has been trained in photography, painting, fashion design and graphic design. His first solo show, “The New Vitruvians,” was presented at Tribeca Issey Miyake in 2007.

By 10 a.m., the installation was completely covered with brown paper and blue tape

Wild Thing's comment........

Scary stuff, I know free speech and all but this kind of thing is dangerous. If they get away with this it could be done to anyone else as well.

Nation of Islam and the Communist Democrat Party's Candidate

B.Hussein O. Wins and Writes Checks No President Can Cash

The Muslim America-hater just became the Democratic nominee for President. Obama said :

"“A WAR THAT IS NOT MAKING ANYONE SAFER".

I could ring his neck I tell you. sheesh!

""It's time the Iraqi army take over"...

Idiot, the Iraqi army HAS TAKEN OVER! Our troops are the Boss but the last fight in Sadr the Iraqi Army was mostly on their own. Get up to speed if ya wanna be president.

He also praised Hillary not that it matters they are in the same party. And he then went on to talk about McCain since McCain spoke first and had made an attempt at attacking Obama.

"A college education is the birthright of every American."

Um Obama you better tell those parents that are busting their butts trying to work and earn money to send their kids to college or pay off their shcool loans. LOL sheesh A Birthright?

“generations from now we will be able to look back and tell our children.....”

So um he is now planning to be a time-traveller and have children a few generations from now?

“Religion is a wedge issue and patriotism a bludgeon”..

God help us if Obama wins!!!!!!!!!!!!

Good grief, he says something about how he is going to stop rising oceans. HUH? Good Lord.

Winding up, he says it’s the moment to heal the planet. LOL. He must think he is Superman.

And this is an interesting note:
When Obama mentioned his typically white grandmother, he was stumbling, pausing, hemming and hawing throughout that portion of his speech.

I said to myself that he added that aspect of his speech at the last minute and it was not on the teleprompter.

No mention of his typical white granny to be found.

McCain praises Hillary on and on. I am SO disgusted at how bad McCain sounded, his speech was hard to listen to. I don't know how to describe it, what is it called when he speaks and it sounds more like the voice of someone at a funeral home telling you how sorry they are. I know that might sound weird but that is what it reminds me of. That overly gentle, overly sympathetic, non emotional voice.
McCain can't seem to seperate himself from Bush without bashing Bush and that is a VERY bad thing. Yes Bush has messed up on wanting amnesty, and some other things. But he is not hated by Republican's that I know of, he is hated by the left. So why in the hell is McCain bashing him ? To win votes from the LEFT?
Of the three of them McCain's speech was the all time worst. I hate saying that about someone in my party but it is the truth.

Hillary:
If we didn't have Op Chaos and conservatives voting for Hillary, Hillary would have been toast several months ago. Thank God for Rush at least it made it go this far.
She’s not done yet, but so far... Hillary’s not conceding anything. She just made a reference to “count every vote,” which would suggest she’s not at peace with the DNC decision on Michigan and Florida.

U.S.A. is a country that is all based on image now? The hot, the now, the hip, the yearning to be followers instead of leaders?

That is what this nation has become.

I think we are gonna have to cling to our guns and bibles alot in the future.

B.Hussein Obama the Far Left's New Party Leader

Barack Obama sought the New Party's endorsement knowing it was a radical left organization

from RedState

"Last week at RedState we uncovered the news that Barack Obama was endorsed by something called the New Party. Since then we have investigated what the New Party was.
It is abundantly clear that the New Party was a political party designed to push the Democratic Party to the far left. It's membership was an amalgamation of socialists, unrepentant communists, union activists, urban activists, and environmentalists.

You can read all about the New Party and Obama's rise to power here.

Its platform included such lovely ideas as government takeovers of all banking institutions, much higher taxes, and massive reductions in the military. To win the nomination of the New Party, a candidate would have to agree to sign a statement expressing loyalty to the party.

By the time Barack Obama sought the party's nomination for his first election in 1996, the New Party had well established itself as the major third party alternative for leftists who thought the Democratic Party had drifted too far to the right.

There is absolutely no doubt that Barack Obama knew what the New Party was. Barack Obama actively sought and received the endorsement of this far left group and, with it, was able to win his election. He was willing to express his loyalty to this far left party. The radical left Democratic Socialists of America praised the New Party's endorsement of Obama and itself promoted Obama.

None of us should buy into the notion that the man is somehow different because of his silver tongue. He is a political opportunist, a die-hard leftist, or both. It is clear, based on what the New Party was and Obama's connection to it, that he is the candidate of a repudiated past that we should not want to resurrect. "

Wild Thing's comment........

Besides being some scary stuff here, this is also very interesting. Nicholals and many on here have mentioned about Obama being a plant, a plant owned by Soros and I agree with that. He is a plant, no experience, his associations all bad, all American haters for sure, his wanting to kill a baby late in pregrenancy and seeing nothing wrong with that, his preachers of hate, so many things driving the left Democrat party even further left then before. And the media giving FREE advertising in all their awe struck comments about this commie jerk Obama. Chris Matthews saying he gets a tingling feeling up his leg about Obama. SICK!

The hate for Bill and Hillary so totally opposite compared to how the left was for the Clinton's with all their 'gates' and murders but not until NOW with their new party man Obama leading them into a new direction further and further left then even the Clinton's could have done.

Here are some links for The New Party I found with Google.

The webstie for....The New Party

And look at this OMG.

The Party Leader
As Obama Edges Closer to the Nomination, Challenges as Top Democrat Await
Washington Independent

"Obama will be controlling the Democratic convention," said Simon Rosenberg, a veteran of Bill Clinton’s 1992 campaign who is president of NDN, a progressive think tank, "and the entire convention will be about nominating him and his ascension to the top of the party.”

Howard Dean, chairman of the Democratic National Committee, will be there, too, with a prominent role. So will Nancy Pelosi, speaker of the House, and Harry Reid, the Senate majority leader. But even now, while these officials hold important jobs within the party, Obama is already consolidating his power -- and early strains are evident.

“We’re now going to see Sen. Obama’s insurgent campaign melding and becoming the party establishment,” Rosenberg said. “There is going to be a new Democratic Party. There is going to be an upheaval and a new order is going to emerge.”

....Thank you Mark for sending this to me.

The Montana and South Dakota Primaries Today

The Dems make their final stands!

So let's see:

Will Hillary say she is done?

Will Obama ( against his wife's demand) ask Hillary to be his VP?

Will McCain ask Hillary to be his VP? ( yes that is what ' they' are saying out there in political land too. )

Will Hillary admit Obama has the delegates but she has the popular vote and maybe keep her delegates for what. It isn’t over until the Clintons say it is over. They get mad AND get even. Yikes

Don't you just love politics'? hahaha We might as well laugh now because later on it is not going to be pretty no matter who wins.

One thing for sure we all here at TW love our country! It sure feels good to be with those that do know what an awesome country we have and why.

Most people that have been in films and TV learn this quickly.

Here it is:
When you get an acting job in a film or TV show , there is a contract you sign each and every time. This is done no matter if you have a one day job on the filming or weeks or months and also it is done with everyone from all actors, stunt people, and anyone connected to the filming in anyway. With this there is a promise you will have the job and you promising you will do it.

Now let's say you have worked on the film or TV show and your part is done being filmed. The next thing might be you want to share about this with your friends or family that, what you had done, the name of the show etc. But their is a catch to doing this too that is a risk until it actually airs.

You could end up on the cutting room floor, entire scenes can be taken out and there is nothing you can do about it. It is not unusual for this to happen to any and all actors, major celebs to day players. So there is a risk factor in yakking about your job you finished to too many people. Especially people that don't realize this and might end up saying you didn't tell the truth.

You still get paid for your work and yes in reality you have been in the film or TV show but the end product shows otherwise.

Most jobs are not like this, most jobs you get a job and the celebration can begin with confidence in that job.

When McCain or anyone running like this says they WILL win, yes it is a psychological thing to do, to rev up the masses into being positive of a win so hang in there with me, jump on board with me I will be a winner etc.

But it also can jinx the outcome as well. Plus the fact that McCain made a slight mistake of saying "January" and not November. No biggie but the media could say he is senile from this and use it against him. It is an honest mistake and in the end game the win is fulfilled in January anyway.

When I saw this it made me think about speaking too soon like I said about showbiz, and how it sometimes can set the jinx in to motion. Superstitious yes but all things add up when a win is desired imo.

If McCain wants a win he is better with framing his words with a we CAN win in November rather then his I WILL win.

Just some thoughts I had on this.

But then also what do I know. LOL

OK.

I’ll see him, and raise him one month! I’ll win in February! So there! heh heh

And I suppose Obama is predicting he will win wins 55 of all 57 states he has counted. hahaha

Then there were the elections with Bush, a win in November but not a WIN till January with all the dmes wanting the CHADS counted and recounted. sheesh

B.Hussein Obama in 08 ~ “Fighting the power one whitey at a time.”

Sen. Barack Obama has been linked to another controversial pastor, this time a declared spiritual adviser who has called white American mayors “slave masters,” and referred to black preachers and politicians who “protect” the “white man” as “house n-ggers.”

Rev. MEEKS Ad, from 2004 Radio Ad Never heard outside of Illinois. Barack Obama chooses controversial, homophobic, Reverend James Meeks to endorse him !!!!!!

Rev. Meeks is an Illinois state senator and serves as the pastor of the 22,000 member Salem Baptist Church in Chicago, where Obama frequently campaigned back in 2003 when running for Senate.

Rev. Meeks has been described as someone in which Obama seeks spiritual counsel from, according to an article printer in the Chicago Sun Times. He will even serve as an Obama delegate at the 2008 Democratic convention in Denver.

Rev. Meeks has served on Obama’s exploratory committee for the presidency and was even listed on Obama's campaign website as one his ‘influential black supporters’. The Chicago Sun Times also reported that both Rev. Meeks and Obama share a history of receiving substantial campaign contributions from the indicted real estate "criminal" Tony Rezko.

Aside from numerous other reports linking the two together, the real issue is the character of Rev. Meeks, who is known for his racially charged remarks and homophobic ways.

In a 2006 sermon, Rev. Meeks stated, "We don't have slave masters. We got mayors. But they still the same white people who are presiding over systems where black people are not able, or to be educated. You got some preachers that are house niggers. You got some elected officials that are house niggers. And rather than them trying to break this up, they gonna fight you to protect this white man." He later defended that sermon during an interview with a Chicago CBS 2 reporter.

Not to mention Rev. Meeks homophobic ways are well noted. A 2007 newsletter from the Southern Poverty Law Center named Rev. Meeks one of the "10 leading black religious voices in the anti-gay movement."

The newsletter cites him as a key member of Chicago's ‘Gatekeepers’ network (an interracial group of evangelical ministers who strive to erase the division between church and state) and “a stalwart anti-gay activist… [who]… has used his House of Hope mega-church to launch petition drives for the Illinois Family Institute (IFI), a major state-level ‘family values’ pressure group that lauded him last year for leading African Americans in ‘clearly understanding the threat of gay marriage.'”

Wild Thing's comment........

Let's see, Rev. Meeks, Rev. Wright, Rev. Moss, Father Pfleger...... four of the most loathsome “holy men” in our lifetimes. How many more of these guy has that moron got in the wings? This is out and out pushing racism from these people and there should be outrage even in the media about this kind of thing. Imus was fired for a whole lot less then these guys are saying.

Obama's problems continue. He still has this Rev. Meeks do deal with. He also has the Black Panthers, Ayers, and Rezko in his closet.

Obama has so many skeletons in the closet, if he gets in the White House it will become the Haunted House.

Obama Vows to Disarm America

Obama's goal? 'Jeopardize U.S. battlefield superiority'
Critics blast Dem for assurance he'll cut nation's defense dollars

An organization dedicated to the mission of protecting and defending individual freedoms and rights under the U.S. Constitution is criticizing presidential candidate Sen. Barack Obama for promising to cut, and possibly gut, U.S. military defense spending.

The Center for Individual Freedom, a non-partisan, non-profit, has posted one version of a YouTube video of Obama "inexplicably" pledging" to "unilaterally jeopardize American military superiority."

"When you find yourself in a hole, just keep digging," the organization said in its accompanying commentary. "That appears to be the logic of Sen. Barack Obama, who already finds himself in the proverbial hole on defense and national security issues. At this pace, he'll reach China by November."

The organization said the Obama video, which originally was posted online by BarackObamadotcom in late 2007 but has been reproduced in other versions too, he tells an audience at a group called Caucus4Priorities he would cut "tens of billions of dollars" in spending.

This would come at a time "when our armed forces are already stretched and in need of new weapon technologies and armor," said CFIF.

The original 2007 video is here: Barack Obama promised a leftist group that he would disarm the United States.

He also guarantees he will "cut investments in unproven missile defense systems," and he "will not weaponize space," and that "unnecessary" spending will be eliminated.

"Most alarmingly, however, Sen. Obama literally promises to 'slow development of future combat systems,'" CFIF said.

"Think about the frightening implications of this pledge for a moment.

"Future combat systems are the cornerstone of American military modernization and superiority. As America fights the war on terror and deters potential military aggression by rogue nations cross the world, advanced combat systems provide us with better equipment, unmatched situational awareness and communication systems that result in American battlefield domination. Other ascendant nations such as China and Russia seek to match our prowess, but we continue to outpace them," CFIF said.

It cited new satellite technology that "allows us to pinpoint and eliminate the enemy, unmanned drones that promise amazing advances in battlefield safety and effectiveness, bunker-buster weapons that penetrate deep into the caves in which remote terrorists hide and communications systems that allow lightning-quick troop deployment and rescue missions."

"They ultimately protect the lives and health of our troops, just as they protect us," CFIF said. "Despite this, Sen. Obama bizarrely pledges to jeopardize our battlefield superiority."

The group cited the nation's stealth aircraft, which penetrated Saddam Hussein's air defenses, precision-guided weaponry that has reduced harm to non-combatants and the Strategic Defense Initiative, "which forced Mikhail Gorbachev's negotiating hand and helped end the Cold War."

Obama uses the speech to emphasize that he is "the only major candidate who opposed this war from the beginning."

He says:

Thanks so much for the Caucus4Priorities, for the great work you've been doing. As president, I will end misguided defense policies and stand with Caucus4Priorities in fighting special interests in Washington.

First, I'll stop spending $9 billion a month in Iraq. I'm the only major candidate who opposed this war from the beginning. And as president I will end it.

Second, I will cut tens of billions of dollars in wasteful spending.

I will cut investments in unproven missile defense systems.

I will not weaponize space.

I will slow our development of future combat systems.

And I will institute an independent "Defense Priorities Board" to ensure that the Quadrennial Defense Review is not used to justify unnecessary spending.

Third, I will set a goal of a world without nuclear weapons. To seek that goal, I will not develop new nuclear weapons; I will seek a global ban on the production of fissile material; and I will negotiate with Russia to take our ICBMs off hair-trigger alert, and to achieve deep cuts in our nuclear arsenals.

"In what realm does Sen. Obama’s ideology dwell, that he would expect his promises to somehow endear him to American swing voters?" CFIF asked. "What makes Sen. Obama's statement most perplexing is the fact that he already faces an uphill battle to convince American voters that he won't be the second coming of Jimmy Carter in undermining our military forces."

Wild Thing's comment.........

I have posted this video before, but I did not have the added article and it is important too. It even had the video with it so this really is the original video of when he spoke.

How can anyone be this stupid, he has no idea how important our military is, how important it is to have the best in technology and anything we would need to defend our country and aid our troops.

....Thank you Mark for the link to this update and article.

Wait And See Mode Regarding Rumor Saying There Is A Michelle Obama Tape

Apparently there is a video tape of Michelle railing against “whitey” inside the Trinity church. For a few weeks now it’s been an internet rumor- now the rumor is going mainstream.

On Fox, Neil Cavuto, today, June 2, not sure what time he is on in your area's it might be EST. Is supposed to have an "explosive" video to release on Obama. Not sure it is the one with Michelle Obama or not.

From Rush last Friday:
RUSH:...

Obama said he's "deeply disappointed" in the preacher. Hillary is "disappointed" in Obama's response. (laughs) It's not even June yet, folks. It's not even June. We've got the bylaws committee tomorrow and the rules committee. If I'm the Democrat Party, I'm looking at this, and I'm saying, "How can we do this?" They have to know what lies ahead. And, of course, there are these rumors circulating, and I don't know if this is true, but there are a number of people suggesting -- and I first heard this, by the way, when I was gone Monday and Tuesday of last week -- that there's a video and that the Republican Party supposedly has it now of Michelle Obama speaking from the pulpit in this church talking about "whitey." I don't care if it's unacceptable, Snerdley. I'm just reporting what's out there. I'm reporting on a rumor that is out there. No, I cannot mention... (interruption)

Okay, forget I said "Michelle (My Belle) Obama." I'll just say "his wife." Obama's wife is out there. There's a rumor that there's a tape -- the Republicans have it, and we're waiting to use it in October -- of Michelle going nuts in the church, too, talking about whitey this and whitey that. You know, if I'm the Democrats are looking at this, I'm saying... They gotta know they're sitting on top of a powder keg here, and somebody in this party -- Howard Dean or somebody -- has gotta send somebody up to this church and say, "Well, you people take the next five months off, or move this congregation somewhere? Move it to Reverend Wright's house -- it's in a gated community -- so nobody can know what you're doing in there. Just give us five months, will you, and shut up!" You know, the Clintons are -- make no mistake about it -- making hay out of this, as they lobby the rules committee and so forth.

This one happened Sunday, on Stephanopolous show, and it says basically that the reason Obama left the church was mainly because of the rumor that should break soon. This is so weird to post about this because I have no idea exactly what it is or what Michelle Obama says literally. Something about her using the word " whitey".

Also on Sunday later in the day.

And this one is democrat Geraldo and illegal lover as well. He bets $100 it is not true.

Wild Thing's comment........

I don't like rumors, never have. So when I heard about this awhile back like other bloggers I did not post about it.
But now it is the topic of conversation on the networks so maybe just maybe it is not just a rumor but actually something Michelle Obama said.

Add in to that Michelle has all but disappeared since these rumors started. That is kind of weird if this is true.

I know none of us need a tape to know that she and Obama are both racists. But if this tape does exist it would certainly be yet another thing to show maybe a few more people why these people should not be in office.

The only thing I don't understand is that IF this tape does exist then why are they holding back? And for what reason.

Pres. Election Chanting "Yes we can" ~ But Muslims Chant "Death To America"

And there is also this...........

Obama's pastor suggested that the United States deserved 9/11, and Obama accepted a testimonial from MUSLIM U.S. Congressman Keith Ellison that implies that the U.S. perpetrated 9/11.

"It’s almost like the Reichstag fire in Nazi Germany, kind of reminds me of that. After the Reichstag was burned, they blamed the Communists for it and put the leader of that country (Hitler) in a position where he could basically have the authority to do whatever he wanted. The fact is that I’m not saying [Sept. 11] was a U.S. plan, or anything like that because, you know, that’s how they put you in the nut-box-dismiss you." --- Congressman Keith Ellison, July 8 2007

From the Testimonial Page at Obama's website, I saved it in case they take it down.

Wild Thing's comment........

"I am a proud Muslim American whose faith informs my actions."

That's precisely what concerns us, Keith!! So much for his oath of office. And in case he forgot, it goes like this:

"I, (name of Member), do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign or domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which I am about to enter. So help me God."

With Obama as President ( noting the video above) and people like Keith Ellison in office and a few other Muslims in office as well. I am really concerned how many of them Obama will give jobs in his cabinet. How much more power the Muslims will be handed with Obama leading the way.

Hillary Clinton To Be Offered Dignified Exit

?? B. Hussein Obama, President & CIC; Hillary Clinton, health secretary; John Edwards, attorney general; Joe Biden, Secretary of State. ??

Hillary Clinton to be offered dignified exit

Telegraph.co.uk. ...for complete article

Hillary Clinton will be offered a dignified exit from the presidential race and the prospect of a place in Barack Obama's cabinet under plans for a "negotiated surrender" of her White House ambitions being drawn up by Senator Obama's aides.

The former First Lady would get the chance to pilot Mr Obama’s reforms of the American healthcare system if she agrees to clear the path to his nomination as Democratic presidential candidate.

Senior figures in the Obama camp have told Democrat colleagues that the offer to Mrs Clinton of a cabinet post as health secretary or to steer new legislation through the Senate will be a central element of their peace overtures to the New York senator.

Mr Obama said on Thursday that he believed he would have secured the support of enough delegates to make him the standard bearer of his party in November’s presidential election by the end of this week.

The Obama camp, however, remains nervous about Mrs Clinton’s intentions and ambitions, and is preparing a face-saving package that will allow her to continue to play a role in health care reform, which has been her signature issue for more than a decade. Despite pressure from some Clinton allies, Mr Obama and his advisers do not wish to ask her to be his vice-presidential running mate. “They will talk to her,” one Democrat strategist close to senior figures in the Obama camp told The Sunday Telegraph. “They will give her the respect she deserves. She will get something to do with health care, a cabinet post or the chance to lead the legislation through the Senate.”

Another Democrat who has discussed strategy with friends in the Obama inner circle said that Mr Obama was openly considering asking Mrs Clinton to join his cabinet, alongside two other former presidential rivals: John Edwards, who is seen as a likely attorney general; and Joe Biden, who is a leading contender to become Secretary of State.

Wild Thing's comment........

Sure, that will appease her! I doubt if it would, just can't see that happening.

Can't we ever be done with the Clinton's. Biden and Edwards. OH NOooooo!

Only in America, she tries to socialize healthcare while holding no elected office, her back room plan proposed a communist type system which was summarily dismissed by both the left and right alike and largely led to the Republicans winning the house and senate for the first time in a LONG time.

This is what makes you an expert on healthcare??? Being a total failure??

What a bunch of ridiculous BS.

...Thank you Les for the article.

Obama Resigns From His Church

Obama's NEXT Church maybe????

Barack Obama and his wife Michelle have resigned their membership at the Trinity United Church of Christ in Chicago, FOX News has confirmed, after controversies stemming from the congregation created a persistent distraction for Obama’s campaign.

The criticism started with the sermons of his former pastor, Rev. Jeremiah Wright Jr., but Obama’s pastor problems were compounded this week by the Rev. Michael Pfleger, whose videotaped guest sermon at the church Sunday showed him taunting Hillary Clinton and saying she felt she was “entitled” to the presidency because she’s white.

Obama said he was deeply disappointed by the remarks and Pfleger apologized, but Clinton’s campaign still demanded Obama specifically reject the latest remarks.

By resigning his membership, Obama is taking the most definitive stand to date against the church.

He already has roundly condemned Wright.

Videos of Wright’s sermons, in which he claimed the U.S. government created HIV to exterminate black people and said “God damn America,” threatened to derail Obama’s campaign when they first surfaced in March.

Wild Thing's comment.......

Watching him explain on the news right now Obama says his reasons for leaving are that every time someone from there speaks, the comments are connected to him AND the church itself is getting unfair and unfavorable coverage. He is doing this for the church ... not because he disagrees.

He did say the comments of Flegher were inappropriate, but he wishes all his friends at the church good will and praises the work done by both Wright and Flegher.

But he is not saying what has been screamed from the pulpit there has been wrong and he wants nothing to do with that anymore.

"Communist " Democrat Party Takes Votes Away From Their People

Dems decide on Florida, Michigan delegates

Obama mistaken on name of Nazi death camp

Democratic Party officials restored renegade state Michigan to its presidential convention Saturday with halved voting rights, but Hillary Clinton's camp said it may challenge the ruling.
The Democratic National committee's rules and bylaws committee voted 19 to 8 to restore the northern state, after earlier voting to reinstate Florida, which also broke party rules by bringing its primary forward to January.

Clinton, who won the primary, in which Obama's name was not on the ballot, will get 69 delegates, who will each only have half a vote in nominating the party's presidential nominee.

Obama will get 59 delegates, who will also have half a vote under the plan.

But Clinton's senior advisor Harold Ickes, who had argued that Obama should get no votes, said the former first lady's supporters had been hijacked.

"Mrs Clinton has instructed me to reserve her rights to take this to the credentials committee," Ickes said.

The committee is due to meet in July as preparations accelerate for the party convention.

The rules and bylaws panel earlier voted 27-0 for the compromise Florida plan, which will give primary winner Clinton a net gain of 19 delegates to the convention but leave her well behind Barack Obama in the total delegate count.

The plan will see all the state's delegates , and superdelegates (top party officials) restored, but they will each have only half a vote at the convention in Denver in August to crown the party's presidential challenger.

At a fiercely contested meeting at a Washington hotel, the committee earlier rejected Clinton's bid to have the Florida delegation seated in full.

Clinton's angry supporters chanted "Denver, Denver" demanding the row be taken to the party convention in August and "Madame President" "Madame President."

Obama has snatched control of the Demosocialist Party. And Obama wasn't even on the ballot in Mich. AMAZING!

Voters swarm hotel, watch DNC rules meeting
Denver Post
What the Democratic National Committee decides today will affect whether Greta Scriboni, a lifelong Democrat, deserts the party and votes for Republican John McCain in November.

"This coronation of Barack Obama is just not sitting well with Hillary supporters," Scriboni said.

Scriboni, 52, stood at the bar in the Marriott Wardman hotel today, listening to the arguments made to the Democratic National Committee about whether to seat Florida and Michigan delegates. Other protesters, tourists and the curious also gathered outside and inside the hotel.

Wild Thing's comment.........

I've been watching with great amusement the rules committee today on TV.

These are just some of my notes while I was watching.

30 Democrats call overriding the will of 600,000 of their OWN VOTERS “Democracy

Massive divide in the Socialist Demonrat party is clear !

Ickes just nuked the DNC. Says " votes were hijacked" HE IS RIGHT!

Bwah hah hah hah.....

The FL voters have just been disenfranchised. Seating the Florida delegates. It just lost. Get the fire hoses and barricades ready.

Ickes went nuclear on the Rats.He said...... “You bet your ass it was flawed.” “You bet your ass a lot of people didn’t vote.”

He says 30 people substituted their will for 600,000 Michigan voters.

“You bet your ass” is his money quote.

ICKY just shocked the crap out of all those there! I think, I think I have found respect for Icky...kinda...THE CROWD IS GETTING OUT OF HAND....someone was told to SHUT UP!! TEMPS are going through the roof!! I LOVEIT!!

Ickes just declared nuclear war. Hillary is taking this to the credentials committee at the convention, then a floor fight.

And Ickes slammed Don Fowler for abandoning Hillary on the Michigan vote with his cheap shot about ‘the more Don drank, the more eloquent he became’. Yikes.

Bwhahahah...ICKY,” Hijacked”...he said it twice. THIS IS WAR FOLKS...I’m telling you!

Democrats just showed the entire world how little they respect the right to vote. Communisim anyone? Because that is what it looks like the Democrats rule by.

Some guy just shouted “you’re putting lipstick on a pig!”

Someone else yelled out " How can you do this to us!"

GOP: one man = one vote

Rat: one man = half a vote!!!!

Our Country's POW's and This Presidential Election

Trailer for the documentary "Missing, Presumed Dead the Search for America's POW's"

Rough transcript of the video follows:

1992 Senate Select Committee on POW/MIAs, Part 2: The McCain Factor

Dr Joseph Douglas Jr – Author “Betrayed - Americas Missing POWs”
Senator McCain seemed to be one of the people that was an obstructionist
who was not interested in the truth coming out
who tried to attack people rather than learn what they had to say

Tracey Usry fmr Chief Investigator , US Senate Minority Staff
At no instance would he ever ever give in and say that there were POWs left behind
and my first question is “How would he know? or not know?”
So that which is reasonable he never exhibited
and I don’t know why. Maybe it’s a guilt complex
Maybe he promised the Vietnamese something
ok - I don’t know what it is
and maybe he actually believed that
that would be the saddest of all

Delores Apodaca Alfono – Chairperson, National Alliance of Families
I mean he was yelling and screaming at me
he had me in tears

Tracey Usry
oh to everybody…
.. he was very rude to me on several occasions

Dr Joseph Douglas Jr
he probably did more harm to the idea of trying to get the truth out than any other single person
through the efforts he did to block the release of classified intelligence dealing with the POW MIA problem

Lynn OShea Dir of Research National Alliance of Families
McCain stepped in and in effect made it harder for us to get documentation
…We were hoping for a massive relase of documentation

Senator Bob Smith (R- NH)
Many many documents were held back, for no reason , and our goal on the commottee was to dump this stuff , declassify it literally to the public – but the US Govt withheld all kinds of information from the committee. I know that for a fact.

Al Santoli, American Foreign Policy Council
Even POW’s who wanted to see their own debriefings were not permitted because of the MCCain regulation

Rep, Bob Dornan (R-CA)
and where did McCain get compliments for doing this – the bureaucrats at the Pentagon
.. and did we need that bill to handle the Scott Spiker case – oh you bet we did!

Al Santoli
it would hold the bureaucrats accountable at law if they lied or withheld information , and he fought tooth and nail to protect those bureaucrats - cos they were protecting him.

Senator Bob Smith
I could never understand that – if someone was guilty of withholding information that would help us to solve the mystery of what happened to an MIA and did it deliberately – why would we not want to preosecute that person

…. I supported it, fought for it hard – in the US Senate and mostly in the Armed Services Committee where we debated it, but …
It was watered down to basically where it was almost worthless

Al Santoli
Now one of the things that happened with that bill is that we were submarined
On the House side we passed it with a pretty much unamimous vote

Rep, Bob Dornan
401 to zero on the House.
with every single Republican who is serving sponsoring it , and about a third of the Democrats.

Al Santoli
On the Senate side we had one person standing in the way of getting in positions that would have been very tough on Govt bureaucrats who didn’t tell the truth – and that one person was Senator John McCain.

3.50s
Cpl Bob Dumas
He didn’t want anybody to check HIS background. wanted to protect his background because a lot of POWs we had in the camp said that he was a collaborator of the enemy. He gave the enemy information they wanted

Dr James Lucier Former US Senate Chief of Staff
What we do know is that when he was there he cooperated with the communist news services in giving interviews that were not flattering to the United States

Tracey Usry
Information shows that he made over 32 tapes of propaganda for the Vietnamese Govt
Certainly you do what you need to do to stay alive
No body would fault anybody for that
but there comes a point in time where enough is enough

Rep, Bob Dornan
He made those transcriptions, and in those transcriptions
I heard a POW who heard them coming into his cell and said
OMG is that Admiral McCain’s son !? is that the Admiral’s son? Is that Johnny?
telling us that our principal targets are schools, orphanages, hospitals, temples, churches
4m45s that was Jane Fonda’s line!.

Quote:
Where are those transcriptions - believe me they are in the archives of the museum
the bragging military museum in Hanoi
and McCain could not have wanted one of those to turn up in the middle of a presidential race
he knows that , I know that, a few other people know that
and that’s why he went against Bob Dole’s legislation

Cpl Bob Dumas
and he didn’t want nobody looking into his background in the camp
what went on in that camp.
that stuff’s still classified , so nobody can see it
and he just had it classified forever, so nobody will EVER look at it.

Dr James Lucier
that he was given special treatment
that he was put in a room with two other defectors
who were later given special treatment
although I will say to his credit that he refused to be repatriated as a result

Rep, Bob Dornan
and it sounds so good at first
McCain was offered the chance to come home
they called him the Prince, - and he could have...

but nobody ever takes that one step beyond that
If Admiral John McCain II junior – if his son at Lt Senior grade
had accepted this Pricely Status and come home in 1967
while the others would sit there for 5 years
what would the Navy have done with the son of an Admiral
who opted to get special treatment and come home
No Navy career , no house seat, no senate seat
would have been the end of his career

and they were offering him this chance to go home
in one of the 3 groups that came home in 68

they were all collaborators
yep except for Don Diego

and McCain calls em this
the slipperies, the slimies , and the sleezies
I once forgot one of those names and he refreshed my memory

and that meant that he would have become a slimey a sleezie and a slippery
ruining his career

so what I’m saying is :
yes he choose to say - but did he have an alternative ?
if he ever wanted to have a life - and what would it have done to his father

Dr Joseph Douglas Jr
and his activities were sufficiently consistent and widespread in opposing efforts to learn the truth
that he was written up in a number of articles as the Manchurian Candidate on this issue.

Rep, Bob Dornan
that in Hanoi he saw McCain turn red in the face
he even used the term Rumpelstiltskin - jumping up and down in place in a rage
If you release ANY of these records that you have here in Hanoi
on me or the other POW’s, you will NEVER get diplomatic recognition

Tracey Usry
McCain may have been an expert on being a POW, but he was by no means an expert on the POW issue.

Wild Thing's comment....taking the mask OFF our POW and MIA information........

This YouTube below is from a movie called The Shawshank Redemption , this particular scene and the finale scene is included is about Hope. In the film the men are in prison, prison that is not even close to what our POW's were put into at all. But when I saw this film I immediately thought of our POW's and MIA's and how they have clung to hope, .......waiting.......waiting.....for our country not to forget them.

This election is the worst in my lifetime, I am not a negative person so to keep finding out about so many things that will rip America apart, destroy what it has been and the country that so many have fought for from the very beginning back to our Founding Fathers and our Veterans from all our wars including today's troops tares at my heart like an open wound.

At least 20 times a day I go back and forth in my mind that I must vote for McCain because of how evil Obama is and will be for our Nation. Then my heart takes over with each of those 20 times a day and I have such a hard time even thinking of my vote for McCain with a clear conscience when for me the biggest most horrible thing he did of all the horrible things he has done, and is for doing now and in the future, is the 1992 Senate Select Committee on POW/MIAs.

I am not saying yes or no, vote for McCain and not to vote for President at all, which would be a first for me. I still have till November but you are all so dear to me I wanted to share with you what I have been feeling about all of this. Yes "feeling" a girl thing, this warrior girl does go there after much deliberation in my head and heart over something so important about our beloved America.

I realize this is a horrendously long post and I have spent some time on it so you know where I stand or am torn up inside about. As always I have always been honest with you and could not do it any other way. I will keep posting things about any of the candidates mostly the dems ( Hillary and Obama) as they are doing the most things disgusting, and McCain every so often as he does or says something that ticks me off, but his have not been daily but they sure have been whoppers on their own. This really is so bad that we do not have a conservative to vote for, and the rino is even more democrat then even a rino. waaaaaaa

There is a rather long article I want to share with you all. It has a lot of information in it that we all need to know about. And this way too there will be a record of it here at this blog.

Thank you so much for your friendship and kindness all of you and letting me rant and cheer and share as things happen.

This is something very important from the article below that hit like a ton of bricks.

"After the SSC folded up its tent and everyone went their merry way, McCain was responsible for one of the most damning pieces of legislature ever - The Missing Service Personnel Act of 1995 (MSPA 1995). Almost single-handedly McCain insured that many of the protections provided POW-MIAs and the responsibilities of the government in its accounting of them was undermined. By undoing the Missing Persons Act of 1942 and replacing it with the 1995 version, McCain essentially legislated what the Families feared the most,

"... (the) basic argument is that, rather than reflecting a genuine legal problem, the 1995 Act reflects Americas loss of faith in our governments credibility."
(STUDIES IN LAW, POLITICS, AND SOCIETY: VOL. 28, by Austin Sarat and Patricia Ewick)

Basically, it gave the responsible parties all the wiggle room they needed to strike names off lists without the 1942 requirements.

And now for the complete article.............................

Would Someone Please Get it Right

03 February, 2008
When Will the Publishers and Pundits Get it Right?

OP ED: AII POW-MIA

Somewhere between John McCain is a true-blue American Hero and John McCain is a brainwashed Manchurian Candidate, and there are/aren't any American POW-MIAs alive somewhere, the truth lies.

I just wish someone, somewhere, would do enough research and less creative editing and get it right. For once, just once.

Recent in-depth articles analyzing why McCain is so generally disliked by the POW-MIA community, once again, speak only of the fringe element and the more obstreperous activists. They refer, as if carved in stone, the McCain/Kerry "findings" of the flawed Senate Select Committee on POW-MIAs (colloquially called the SSC), and one always reads...

Given the Committee's findings, the question arises as to whether it is fair to say that American POWs were knowingly abandoned in Southeast Asia after the war. The answer to that question is clearly no."

However, and it is a huge however, the paragraph continues....

"American officials did not have certain knowledge that any specific prisoner or prisoners were being left behind. But there remains the troubling question of whether the Americans who were expected to return but did not were, as a group, shunted aside and discounted by government and population alike. The answer to that question is essentially yes."

There. You have it. Men were left behind. Not intentionally, no one specific, not purposefully abandoned, but nonetheless, left behind.

So the "clearly no" quote that is getting so much air time as the ultimate finding is wrong. Careful editing of one single paragraph can change the entire direction and policy of a nation.

People refer to the SSC report (people I suspect that have never read the WHOLE SSC Report) as if it were the gospel according to government. It is not. People also assume, wrongly, that the POW-MIA issue and the SSC deal exclusively with the Second IndoChina War - Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia. It does not.

It was an investigation into the issue of POWs and MIAs from ALL wars. Although 95% of the majority of investigation and testimony deals with Southeast Asia - World War II, the Cold War and Korea were included in the overall mission of the Committee. (SSC Chapter XI -

"Although the Committee's investigation focused primarily on efforts to account for Americans missing from the war in Southeast Asia, the principle of accounting for lost American servicemen is the same, whether the war occurred 20 years ago or 50 years ago. Accordingly, the Committee undertook a review of information and allegations concerning Americans missing from earlier conflicts and hired a full time investigator to work in Moscow on this and related issues.")

The Issue
The POW-MIA issue is not about Vietnam. It is about the 88,000 plus unaccounted-for men and women from ALL wars.

It is not about men in Tiger Cages and Caves somewhere in Laos. It is about the continued information and intelligence that came to the USG that certain personnel were seen in captivity, yet remain unrepatriated.

It is about the former USSR's incalcitrance to provide information on Cold War Shootdowns and come forward with the truth about their involvement in the Korean War.

It is about China's refusal to cooperate with USG investigators even though the Chinese ran POW camps during the Korean War.

It is about North Korea's paranoid ramblings and lack of access to Death March routes, camps and combat sites. Not to mention the decades of reports that stated caucasians were seen in North Korea, teaching English.

It is about curious reports, testimony and information that states men were taken to third-party Soviet Bloc nations for exploitation in all wars. That Cuba trained and sent torturers to the SEA area of conflict. It is about men missing from latter day conflicts such as the 1st Persian Gulf War and Operation Iraqi Freedom, who remain unaccounted-for. It is about captured American Service Personnel being executed by their captors in the Global War on Terrorism and the complete disregard of the Geneva Accords.

So, now that we have cleared up that misunderstood area of the POW-MIA issue, let us move on to the suddenly revered SSC.

The Senate Select Committee
We had a number of Hearings and investigations previous to the SSC (and post SSC I might add). To wit - The Helms Report, the Interim Report on the Southeast Asian POW/MIA Issue (1990); An Examination of U.S. Policy Toward POW/MIAs (1991); Subcommittee on Asian and Pacific Affairs (1991); Hearings before the Subcommittee on Asian and Pacific Affairs of the Committee on Foreign Affairs (1980), to name a few.

The SSC's genesis came at a peculiar period in American history. Just short 20 years since our withdrawal from SEA, there was still much concern about reports of men, presumed American POWs, in SEA. Known as Live Sighting Reports, these came on the heels of even more intriguing satellite imagery that could be interpreted as Escape and Evasion markers or Authenticator Codes - laid down by stranded/captive/left behind service personnel who did not manage to make it back to the US during Operation Homecoming in 1973.

Additionally, Boris Yeltsin, in a moment of extreme clarity, madness or drunkenness, passed along to the US a purported list of American personnel who may have been transported to the former Soviet Union during times of war, (known as the Russian List) previous to the creation of the SSC.

Add to this numerous other events, reports, documents, FOIA'd material, Ronald Reagan and General John Vessey and we literally had a cosmic convergence of all things POW and MIA.

Hence the birth of the SSC.

Much hope had been pinned on the SSC, especially by WW II, Korean War and Cold War families. Little did they know they would become merely a footnote in final report after a 2 year investigation. So, with a Congressional Mandate, investigators, researchers, airline tickets and a large staff, the SSC set about its work to find the truth.

Evidence of witness tampering vis-a-vis rehearsing and scripting, document destruction, sub-rosa sessions, was described in detail. Certain, questionable, witnesses were trotted out, much to the displeasure of the families and the researchers. Credible witnesses were harassed and their research blasted. Others, with significant insight and experience in the issue were simply ignored or dismissed.

Unfortunately the Committee was hampered by personalities, politics and some highly questionable antics during its tenure. In the long run, the Committee produced a lengthy, interesting report, that was long on adjectives and mea culpas, and short on hard core answers.

When the SSC's time ran out, boxes of material had yet to be vetted, leads and witnesses went by the wayside and the answers the SSC promised were never fully realized.

Some may say it sounds like sour grapes. Family members, advocates, activists and veterans didn't get their desired result, so they bashed the Committee and its personnel.

Not true.

MANY, many people in the POW-MIA issue were thrilled with the SSC and its efforts. And, since the findings of the SSC clearly stated Americans were left behind, there was no argument from the POW-MIA Issue camp.

The problem was that so much was left undone, unanswered.

Look at it this way - if the SSC was the end all and be all of the POW-MIA issue... if the SSC was able to definitively answer the question 'what happened, where did he go' we would all happily go on our way and live our lives.

But it didn't. It couldn't.

As a result, we have continued to have Hearings on numerous aspects of the issue; Jackson-Vanik Amendment Hearings, Hearings on the Cuban Torture Program, WW II Pow Hearings before the Senate Judiciary Committee, Military Personnel Subcommittee Hearings (Dornan), Subcommittee on Asia and the Pacific (Ackerman), and now the huge momentum behind House Hearings on POW and MIAs known as H. Res 111 ( Rep. Peter King (R-NY).

So, now that we have put a lie to the veracity of the Senate Select Committee and its Report as the ultimate word on the Issue, where do we go from here.

Oh yes, John McCain and John Kerry.

Let's start with Kerry. I don't give a hoot whether or not his Purple Hearts are legitimately earned. Let the Order of the Purple Heart and our WIAs fight that battle. I do not care what he did in Vietnam. Let the Swift Boaters handle that. Nor do I care about his anti-war activities, the Winter Soldier fiasco or Jane Fonda. We have millions of vets in the country, I am certain they are more than capable of handling that as well.

What I DO care about is his behavior during the SSC. How his staffer, Francis Zwenig, was permitted to run rampant during the SSC's tenure and the numerous reports of document desctruction, witness tampering and stacking the deck against witness researchers, analysts and specialists. Zwenig went on to become a respected member of the US-Vietnam Trade Council after her term with the SSC expired.

Troubling at the very least.

Now on to McCain. I will never dispute his service record or his time in captivity. I am of the firm belief only Ex-POWs may judge other POWs. Period. His uniformed service and his captivity do not make him more or less eligible as a candidate for anything in my opinion.

His actions and inactions once he became a civilian and public servant do. I am not speaking of anything other than his impact on the POW-MIA issue. After the SSC folded up its tent and everyone went their merry way, McCain was responsible for one of the most damning pieces of legislature ever - The Missing Service Personnel Act of 1995 (MSPA 1995). Almost singlehandedly McCain insured that many of the protections provided POW-MIAs and the responsibilities of the government in its accounting of them was undermined. By undoing the Missing Persons Act of 1942 and replacing it with the 1995 version, McCain essentially legislated what the Families feared the most,

"... (the) basic argument is that, rather than reflecting a genuine legal problem, the 1995 Act reflects AmericaÕs loss of faith in our governmentÕs credibility."
(STUDIES IN LAW, POLITICS, AND SOCIETY: VOL. 28, by Austin Sarat and Patricia Ewick)

Basically, it gave the responsible parties all the wiggle room they needed to strike names off lists without the 1942 requirements.

The MSPA 1995 was so detrimental to accounting that HR 4000 IH was introduced..."To amend title 10, United States Code, to restore provisions of chapter 76 of that title - relating to missing persons - as in effect before the amendments made by the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 1997." (August 1996)

HR 4000 failed in the House.

So, now that we have clarified the Kerry/McCain situation and why the POW-MIA Issue Community, for the most part, cannot embrace either man or the SSC Report as the final say, let us use the United States Government's own words to define the reason that family members, advocates, activists, citizens, veterans and others continue to fight for answers and truth about our unaccounted-for fathers, brothers, sons and friends.

It is not manic mumblings, an inability to accept reality or a means to bash the Government through an emotional issue. It is the following, words from our very own Gorvenrmnent and its serviant agnets and agencies:

On the Korean War
"Executive Summary: "US Korean War POWs were transferred to the Soviet Union and never repatriated." Peter Tsouras, The Transfer of US POWs to the Soviet Union, Joint Commission Support Branch, Research & Analysis Division, DPMO, 26 Aug 1993"

On WW II
"An undetermined number of American POWs liberated by Soviet forces during World War II from Nazi Germany POW camps, were NOT repatriated to the United Sates or otherwise accounted for by Soviet Authorities." Dr. Paul M. Cole, POW-MIA Issues, Vol. 1, 2 & 3 National Defense Research Institute, Rand, 1994

"Information from the Soviet archives indicates that Soviet authorities deliberately misled US officials concerning the fate of American POWs." Rand, 1994

On the Cold War Era
"U.S. military service members may have been imprisoned and died in Soviet forced-labor camps during the 20th century, according to a Pentagon report to be released Friday.

Researchers for the U.S.-Russia Joint Commission on POW/MIAs have been investigating unconfirmed reports of Americans who were held prisoner in the so-called gulags."

"I personally would be comfortable saying that the number [of Americans held in the gulags during the Cold War and Korean War] is in the hundreds," said Norman Kass, executive secretary of the commission's U.S. section.
Norman Kass, 11 February 2005

A separate internal Pentagon document has concluded "there is a high probability" that American citizens and U.S. and British prisoners of war died in the camps.

"This report presents documentation of the United States Government's conclusion that some of these crew men were captured alive by Soviet forces but not repatriated." Rand, 1994

"Foremost among the major findings in this report is the conclusion that direct evidence suggests that American servicemen were transferred to the territory of the USSR from the Korean War zone of combat operations." Rand, 1994

Executive Summary: "US Korean War POWs were transferred to the Soviet Union and never repatriated." Peter Tsouras, The Transfer of US POWs to the Soviet Union, Joint Commission Support Branch, Research & Analysis Division, DPMO, 26 Aug 1993

On the Vietnam War
"The intelligence indicates that the American Prisoners of War have been held continuously after Operation Homecoming and remain in captivity in Vietnam and Laos as late as 1989." Oral Intelligence Briefing before the Senate Select Committee on POWs-MIAs, April 8, 1992

"Despite adherences to internal policies and public statements after April, 1973, that "no evidence" existed of living POWs, DIA authoritatively concluded as late as April, 1974, that several hundred living POW/MIAs were still held captive in Southeast Asia." Interim Report on the Southeast Asian POW/MIA Issue By the US Senate Committee on Foreign Relations Republican Staff Release Date: Monday, October 29, 1990

"In fact, classified and unclassified information all confirm one startling fact: That DOD in April, 1974, concluded beyond a doubt that several hundred living American POWs remained in captivity in Southeast Asia. This was a full year after DOD spokesmen were saying publicly that no prisoners remained alive." Interim Report on the Southeast Asian POW/MIA Issue By the US Senate Committee on Foreign Relations Republican Staff Release Date: Monday, October 29, 1990

And, how could we forget the Senate Select Committee
"We acknowledge that there is no proof that U.S. POWs survived, but neither is there proof that all of those who did not return had died. There is evidence, moreover, that indicates the possibility of survival, at least for a small number, after Operation Homecoming:

• First, there are the Americans known or thought possibly to have been alive in captivity who did not come back; we cannot dismiss the chance that some of these known prisoners remained captive past Operation Homecoming.

• Second, leaders of the Pathet Lao claimed throughout the war that they were holding American prisoners in Laos. Those claims were believed--and, up to a point, validated--at the time; they cannot be dismissed summarily today.

• Third, U.S. defense and intelligence officials hoped that forty or forty-one prisoners captured in Laos would be released at Operation Homecoming, instead of the twelve who were actually repatriated. These reports were taken seriously enough at the time to prompt recommendations by some officials for military action aimed at gaining the release of the additional prisoners thought to be held.

• Fourth, information collected by U.S. intelligence agencies during the last 19 years, in the form of live-sighting, hearsay, and other intelligence reports, raises questions about the possibility that there are unidentified U.S. POWs who did not return may have survived in captivity.

• Finally, even after Operation Homecoming and returnee de- briefs, more than 70 Americans were officially listed as POWs based on information gathered prior to the signing of the peace agreement; while the remains of many of these Americans have been repatriated, the fates of some continue unknown to this day. Given the Committee's findings, the question arises as to whether it is fair to say that American POWs were knowingly abandoned in Southeast Asia after the war. The answer to that question is clearly no. American officials did not have certain knowledge that any specific prisoner or prisoners were being left behind, then. But there remains the troubling question of whether the Americans who were expected to return but did not were, as a group, shunted aside and discounted by government and population alike. The answer to that question is essentially yes."

Obama Sponsors Campaign to Make Juneteenth Day a Nat.Holiday

UPDATE: There have been some recent comments for this post.

So I am moving it back up closer to the top of the page.

Thank you.

Wild Thing

Obama Sponsors Campaign to Make Juneteenth Day a National Holiday, Uniting the Country? It is NOT enough that they have Black History Month, MLK day and stupid Kwanzaa! Good grief!

What the Hell is Juneteenth Day????

"Juneteenth" or "19th of June", is considered the date when slavery ended in America. Although rumors of freedom were widespread prior to this, the announcement of emancipation did not come until Union General Gordon Granger arrived in Galveston, Texas to read General Order No. 3, on the "19th of June", 1865. This was more than two and a half years after President Abraham Lincoln signed the Emancipation Proclamation.

Juneteenth is now recognized as a state holiday or state holiday observance in Texas, Oklahoma, Florida, Delaware, Idaho, Alaska, Iowa, California, Wyoming, Missouri, Connecticut, Illinois, Louisiana, New Jersey, New York, Colorado, Arkansas, Oregon, Kentucky, Michigan, New Mexico, Virginia, Washington, Tennessee, Massachusetts, North Carolina, South Carolina, West Virginia, Vermont and also in the District of Columbia. Many more states, including South Dakota, Arizona, Pennsylvania, Mississippi, Montana, Maryland and Wisconsin have recognized Juneteenth through special day and year state legislative resolutions and Gubernatorial Proclamations.

Washington Post
Saturday, June 18, 2005
In Congress, Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.) and U.S. Rep. Danny K. Davis (D-Ill.) have sponsored resolutions asking for a national Juneteenth observance.

"Just like the day when the greatest civil rights leader of our time was born or the day we finally gave African Americans a ballot and a voice, Juneteenth is a day when we look back on a time when everyday Americans faced the most daunting challenges and the slimmest odds and still persevered," Obama said at a luncheon Thursday.

That quote above from from 2005...now this below:

Washington, DC) - As Senator Barack Obama makes great strides in becoming the nation's next president, Juneteenth supporters are hopeful that the "19th of June" will finally be established as a national holiday observance in America. Senator Barack Obama has been a key sponsor of Juneteenth legislation in the senate and keynote speaker at the annual Juneteenth Congressional Reception. This year, the 2008 WASHINGTON JUNETEENTH National Holiday Observance will feature "Juneteenth, A Grassroots Celebration of American Values, A Music Festival with zydeco, gospel, jazz and blues!"

President George W. Bush has been urged by Congress to recognize Juneteenth Independence Day by issuing a special Presidential Proclamation. President Bush, who has declined participation in the annual WASHINGTON JUNETEENTH National Holiday Observance since taking office in 2000, has perplexed national Juneteenth leaders by the lack of personal public acknowledgement and comment on Juneteenth, considered America's second Independence Day.

"President Bush is the former Governor of Texas, where Juneteenth has been observed as a paid state holiday since 1980," states Rev. Ronald V. Myers, Sr., M.D., Chairman of the National Juneteenth Observance Foundation (NJOF), host of the annual WASHINGTON JUNETEENTH National Holiday Observance at the nation's capitol. "With the urging of Congress through the unanimous passage of H. Con. Res. 231 by the House of Representatives and the unanimous passage of S. Res. 516 by the U.S. Senate, we are hopeful that President Bush will finally issue a Juneteenth Independence Day Proclamation.

If not, we are confident that if Senator Barack Obama becomes president, he will certainly make Juneteenth a national holiday observance in America. We are also truly appreciative of the leadership Congressman Danny K. Davis (D-IL) has provided Juneteenth supporters through legislative efforts in Congress."

Juneteenth, or the "19th of June", recognizes June 19, 1865, in Galveston, TX, when Union General Gordon Granger announced freedom for all slaves in the Southwest. This was the last major vestige of slavery in the United States following the end of the Civil War.

This occurred more than two and a half years after the Emancipation Proclamation was issued by President Abraham Lincoln. Upon the reading of General Order #3 by General Granger, the former slaves celebrated jubilantly, establishing America's second Independence Day Celebration and the oldest African-American holiday observance.

Wild Thing's comment........

This is the first I have ever heard of this stupid thing.

OK OK OK! I am sorry your mom was white, I am sorry you are hung up on that fact, and have a hate in your heart towards white people. I am sorry that BLACKS sold BLACKS into slavery. But I wasn't there, my family ancestors were busy in Switzerland skiing, making clocks and delicious chocolate. Tending cows on the slopes of the Alps and wearing lederhosen.

NOW, can we please drill in ANWAR ???

B.Hussein Obama Has Called Priest Pfleger His Moral Compass ~ HUH?

Michael Pfleger and Farrakhan

Father Michael Pfleger
Senior Pastor, St. Sabina Church, Chicago, IL

Also a big time Farrakhan supporter

"Senior Pastor, St. Sabina Church, Chicago, IL

" I’m concerned by issues of poverty and issues of justice and equal access and opportunity especially when dealing with children and education and healthcare. Also, the war in Iraq is non-negotiable: end it! The faith community has to be a prophetic voice to bring us to where we ought to be as a country. Its voice should call every individual to be their best and not assimilate into anything less. Obama is calling back those who have given up and lost hope in the political system both young and old in the belief that we can fix it. He has the intellect for the job and I haven’t heard anyone since Robert F. Kennedy who is causing such an emotional and spiritual awakening to the political possibilities. " -- Father Michael Pfleger

Obama Says That Fr. Pfleger Is A Moral Compass For Him
Chicago Sun Times

April 5, 2004

"These days, he says, he attends the 11 a.m. Sunday service at Trinity in the Brainerd neighborhood every week -- or at least as many weeks as he is able. His pastor, Wright, has become a close confidant. "

Obama says he reads the Bible, though not as regularly as he'd like, now that he's on the campaign trail. But he does find time to pray.

"It's not formal, me getting on my knees," he says. "I think I have an ongoing conversation with God.... I'm constantly asking myself questions about what I'm doing, why I am doing it.

"The biggest challenge, I think, is always maintaining your moral compass."

"Friends and advisers, such as the Rev. Michael Pfleger, pastor of St. Sabina Roman Catholic Church in the Auburn- Gresham community on the South Side, who has known Obama for the better part of 20 years, help him keep that compass set, Obama says. "

Obama's Church: Hillary Cried Because White Supremacy Failed

Additional omments made during the same sermon above

Obama's Church: America Will Pay (for raping blacks)

Sen. Barack Obama issued a statement this afternoon after a video tape emerged showing Father Michael Pfleger 'speechifying' from the pulpit of the Trinity United Church of Christ in Chicago.

In the statement Obama said he was "deeply disappointed" in Pfleger after his sermon was captured on videotape showing the priest mocking Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton and white people from the pulpit of Trinity, the home church of the Rev. Jeremiah Wright and Sen. Obama.

Rev. Pfleger issued his own statement about his Sunday, May 25th sermon: "I regret the words I chose on Sunday. These words are inconsistent with Senator Obama's life and message, and I am deeply sorry if they offended Senator Clinton or anyone else who saw them."

Wild Thing's comment........

If? Did he just say "if" Clinton would be offended? Pfleger knew that his comments were going out over the Internet and he had to know what the reaction would be. That is like saying don't think of the pink elephant in the room.

Obama is going to be mighty exhausted from having to throw every single previous mentor/friend under the speeding bus.

It was obvious that the “worshippers” in that “church” were anything but offended. With all that cheering and whooping and hollering; it was a disgrace. Obama's “church” is more political than it is a church.

Obama's rolodex is crammed full of unsavory characters: Ranting race hustlers, unrepentant ex-terrorists, corrupt fixers, sleazy ward hustlers, Hamas fund-raisers...the list goes on and on.

What amazes me is how and why this jerk priest wants to be black so much, he does as much as he can to sound and move like Rev. Wright and a dozen other white haters that speak from a pulpit.

This is beyond belief. If McCain belonged to a church where ministers spewed hatred from the pulpit- and the congregation cheered them on, the media would roast him alive- every single day.

Lieberman and Lindsey Graham Stepped Down From Vets For Freedom

Sergeant Anderson was one of the 12 veterans denied a meeting with Senator Obama. And like his fellow veterans, Sergeant Anderson would like to ask Senator Obama a few questions: Why hasn't he met with General Petraeus? And why won't he visit Iraq? And why would Senator Obama rather talk about meeting—unconditionally—with Iran, instead of meeting with veterans and commanders? America deserves to know

Vets for Freedom is releasing a second ad, featuring Iraq war veteran and Vets for Freedom member, Specialist Kate Norley.

2 Senators for McCain Leave Group After Ads

NY Times

Senators Joseph I. Lieberman and Lindsey Graham, prominent surrogates for Senator John McCain’s presidential campaign, stepped down Wednesday from their positions with an independent group that released a pair of Internet advertisements attacking Senator Barack Obama on Iraq.

Mr. Lieberman, independent of Connecticut, and Mr. Graham, Republican of South Carolina, were both on the policy advisory board to the organization, Vets for Freedom, which on Wednesday released its second Web advertisement in less than a week attacking Mr. Obama.

The senators’ positions with the group, which describes itself as a grass-roots advocacy organization pushing for victory in Iraq and Afghanistan, seemed to place them in contravention of new conflict-of-interest rules released by Mr. McCain’s campaign that specifically prohibit anyone “with a McCain campaign title or position” from participating in a “527 or other independent entity that makes public communications that support or oppose any presidential candidate.”

After inquiries from reporters, the senators released a joint letter to Vets for Freedom on Wednesday saying they had requested a leave from their positions to come into compliance with the new policy.

“This is obviously something we’re working through,” said Brian Rogers, a spokesman for the McCain campaign. “This is the kind of thing that happens when you have the strictest possible policy on these issues.”

The new policy was meant to head off embarrassing questions about connections of members of the McCain campaign to special interests that run counter to Mr. McCain’s reformist reputation. But adhering to that standard has proved complicated.

The new rules were prompted this month in part by revelations that Craig Shirley, a consultant to the campaign, was also paid by a 527 group that was criticizing Mr. Obama. Mr. Shirley stepped down from his role on Mr. McCain’s Virginia leadership team.

Vets for Freedom put out its first advertisement last Friday, featuring an Iraq war veteran saying Mr. Obama “hasn’t once sat down one on one with our commander in Iraq, General Petraeus,” adding: “Worse, he hasn’t been to Iraq in two-and-a-half years. He’s unwilling to get the facts on Iraq, yet he’s willing to travel to Iran to meet their leader, or anyone else who hates our country.” The veterans group’s latest commercial continued on the same theme.

Vets for Freedom is not organized as a 527, which refers to a section of the tax code. The designation often carries a negative connotation because of the attacks of 527 groups like Swift Boat Veterans for Truth in the 2004 campaign. Instead, Vets for Freedom is organized as a 501(c)(4) nonprofit organization, an increasingly common tactic for outside groups seeking to get involved in campaigns.

The group also has a political action committee, which financed the Internet advertisements.

“We are not supporting the candidacy or opposing the candidacy of anybody,” Pete Hegseth, the group’s chairman, said. “We’re merely asking serious questions about a sitting senator.”

Wild Thing's comment........

I guess anyone associated with McCain's candidacy is never allowed to criticize Obama! In my opinion this is a bunch of BS and it stinks to high heaven . God bless Vets for Freedom and to hell with these jerks Lieberman and Graham. I have lost all if any respect for these two idiots.

For anyone that has not been to Vets For Freedom, please visit their website.

Size Of Crowd At Obama's Portland Rally Had Help from Rock Group

one news now

At least some members of the much-touted crowd of 75,000 people at a May 18 rally in Portland for Barack Obama may have been there, in part, to see a popular local band that normally opens its concerts with the national anthem -- of the former Soviet Union.

National media outlets have widely reported estimates of between 72,000 and 75,000 people in attendance at Obama's rally. What they have largely failed to report, however, is that many in the crowd may have attended as much for a free concert as to express their support for the Democratic frontrunner.

"The rally drew 75,000 people, but the media did not give any credit to the opening act, The Decemberists, who are wildly popular in Portland," says Robert Knight, director of the Culture and Media Institute of the Media Research Center. "I'm not saying that Obama wouldn't have drawn a big crowd, but certainly when you have a band that popular opening for him on a beautiful day, that probably should have been mentioned by the media."

By not mentioning the band, Knight says, the media has been able to avoid a well-known fact about The Decemberists.

"You'd think the media would find it interesting that a presidential candidate had a band open for him that typically plays the Soviet national anthem, the song that celebrates communism in Russia," Knight says. "But the media has taken no interest in it."

Knight says the Obama campaign could have easily learned that their opening act routinely starts its shows with the Soviet anthem by checking either Google or Wikipedia.

"The Obama campaign is secure in the knowledge that the mainstream media will not report any of this. Certainly they haven't so far," he complained. "They know that the media will not do anything to embarrass liberal candidates. They cover for them all the time. So, that might make them a little complacent about checking out people that they are associated with."

According to the Wikipedia entry about The Decemberists, "The band is named in reference to an 1825 revolt over the Imperial Russian succession (Decemberist Revolt). It is not related to the Bolshevik Revolution of 1917, although Meloy has referred to the historical Decembrists as a communist revolutionary group."

More information on the band

* 45-minute free concert by The Decemberists

* band has drawn rave reviews from Rolling Stone magazine

* This group is very popular with the college crowd (their politics are liberal and they have a couple anti-war songs.)

* HERE is a LINK to The Decemberists website

Wild Thing's comment.........

It is not bad thing for a candidate to have a band for one of their appearances. But this band is anti-war, many of their songs are anti-war songs, and like the articvle says they open their concerts with the national anthem of the former Soviet Union. THAT does NOT belong in anyones USA campaign rally! Good grief and once again the media gives this the silent treatment.

...Thank you Mark for this article and link.

America Hating Obama and His Team Set Up Porta-Potty's On Memorial for Fallen Policemen

Officers: Memorial Used As Porta-Potty Pit Stop At Obama Rally

PORTLAND, Ore.

VIDEO AT THE LINK for the story.

Portland police officers have asked for an apology after they said organizers of a Barack Obama rally set up Porta-Potties on a memorial honoring fallen officers.

Earlier this month, 75,000 people gathered in Waterfront Park in downtown Portland to hear Obama speak at a pre-primary rally.

Officer Thomas Brennan, a seven-year veteran with the Portland Police Bureau, said he was happy to help at the rally after being called in on his day off.

"On short notice, a lot of people had to cancel trips. But they were glad to do it," Brennan said. "It was very memorable, in more ways than one."

Brennan, who controlled the crowd near the Portland Police Memorial, noticed several Porta Potties set up in the middle of the memorial. Brennan had been at the site five days earlier for an annual memorial service and a flag was still set at half mast on the day of the rally.

"There was plenty of room elsewhere so space wasn't an issue," Brennan said. "So someone used some really poor decision making, whoever elected to put them there. I mean, it's somewhat hallowed ground, I guess you could call it."

After several days, Brennan attached a photo he took to a letter and e-mailed it to dozens of media outlets and the Obama campaign.

Brennan said officers haven't heard back from the Obama campaign. He said someone owes an apology to the families of the fallen officers.

"Not for a moment do I think that Mr. Obama had anything to do with this," Brennan said. "But somebody at his campaign at a local level made the decision to put them there. And I just want an acknowledgement: 'Hey, we made a mistake.'"

A representative with the Obama campaign responded Wednesday morning and said the Porta-Potties were placed at the memorial because of a safety issue for wheelchair access.

Teri Sorenson said there was no disrespect intended and the campaign had not responded because local offices have shut down until Obama becomes the official democratic candidate

Wild Thing's comment..........

Porta potties in the middle of a police memorial. Typical Democrats.

HEY Teri Sorenson you can kiss my ass you POS! Your being on Obama's team tells me all I need to know about you anyway, this just adds to my total disgust for the likes of you and your ilk!

Everyone in Hussein Obama's entourage continually displays poor judgment and anti-American sentiment. I would hate to see how the Oval Office (and the nation) would get trashed during an Obama presidency. God help us all!

Teri Sorenson said there was no disrespect intended and the campaign had not responded because local offices have shut down until Obama becomes the official democratic candidate.

And a dog ate their homework. And there was a terrible flood. And locusts.

Since Teri was on the phone, perhaps she could have offered acknowledgement that it was improper.

If it’d been a soldier’s memorial, they’d have just skipped the porta-potties and relieved themselves on it directly, I’m sure.

Damn I hate these people, the enemy within!

I don’t really care what the Obama Campaign personnel state as the reason they set up Porta-Potties on the Police Memorial site. There is NO EXCUSE, NO REASON other than blatant disrespect. The site would have been immediately recognized as what it is, hallowed ground by ANY decent citizen with any morals/conscience whatsoever.

This disrespectful action reflects on Obama. He is their leader and he damn well better get used to being the one the shit lands on when things are done that are NOT the right thing to do. He cannort pass the buck and expect to be the leader of what so far has been the most powerful country in the world. I wouldn’t let the matter ride on the local level. I’d take it straight to Obama to demand he rein in his disgusting supporters attitude towards our Nation, and our Nation’s fallen heroes. HE is the Captain of his ship of fools, and it is HIS responsibility to show respect, lead with respect, and demand the respect for HIS, and OUR Nation and all Memorials local or National.

Screw you Obama!

John McCain on Nuclear Security

DENVER, Colorado (CNN)

The United States should scrap a significant portion of its nuclear arsenal, Sen. John McCain said Tuesday in a speech laying out his nuclear security policy.

McCain also spoke about canceling the development of nuclear "bunker-busting" bombs and working with Russia and China to prevent the spread of nuclear weapons.

"Today, we deploy thousands of nuclear warheads. It is my hope to move as rapidly as possible to a significantly smaller force," the presumptive Republican presidential nominee said at the University of Denver.

"The United States cannot and will not stop the spread of nuclear weapons by unilateral action," he said. "As powerful as we are, America's ability to defend ourselves and our allies against the threat of nuclear attack depends on our ability to encourage effective international cooperation."

The GOP candidate voiced support for the U.N. Security Council and International Atomic Energy Agency as well as an updated Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty.

"We also need to reverse the burden of proof when it comes to discovering whether a nation is cheating on its NPT commitments. The IAEA shouldn't have to play cat-and-mouse games to prove a country is in compliance," he said.

The speech elaborated on a nuclear policy McCain outlined in a foreign policy address two months ago.

It was noticeably more conciliatory toward Russia than the one in March, when McCain proposed ejecting the country from the Group of Eight nations. McCain also did not mention the United Nations in his March speech.

McCain gave qualified support to an international treaty banning the testing of nuclear weapons, the Comprehensive Nuclear Test Ban Treaty, which he opposed in the Senate in 1999.

And he proposed an "international repository for spent nuclear fuel" to keep the raw ingredients for nuclear bombs from falling into the wrong hands.

"It is even possible that such an international center could make it unnecessary to open the proposed spent nuclear fuel storage facility at Yucca Mountain in Nevada," McCain said, referring to a controversial project in the Southwest.

Randy Scheunemann, a senior foreign policy and national security advisor to the McCain campaign, said later that the repository could be in Siberia and that if there were sufficient security guarantees, McCain had a "willingness to entertain possibility ... that we could possibly send some of our spent fuel there."

Reacting to the speech, a spokesman for Sen. Barack Obama, the Democratic front-runner, said that the substance of it mirrored Obama's positions but that McCain has no track record of leading on the issue.

And this from ABC News

McCain's claim that he was departing from Bush's policy was supported, albeit with qualifications, by an unlikely source: Sen. Joe Biden, D-Del.

The chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee has been an outspoken critic of McCain. But Biden acknowledged Tuesday that McCain’s nuclear security speech contained "many ideas that suggest a welcome departure from the Bush Administration’s hostility to arms control."

While praising McCain's pledge to work with Russia on nuclear arsenal reduction, Biden maintained that McCain's policy has some "critical gaps," particularly on the issues of Iran and North Korea.

Wild Thing's comment........

OH Great, now he’s channeling Kissinger.

Hey, I know... Iran is trying so hard to get Nukes, and since we’re gonna get rid of them, why not just hand them over to Iran? That way, we get rid of them, and they can have what they covet so greatly!
sheesh!

He voiced explicit support for the U.N. Security Council and International Atomic Energy Agency as well as an updated Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty.

Yeah, that's the ticket. Let's rely on the UN.

Should we just cut to the chase and start Armageddon?! My gosh!

John McCain is NOT Ronald Reagan!! What Reagan did worked with the Soviet union. The Great Man, President Ronald Reagan, took a few threes and turned them into a royal flush, Gorbachev bought it, and thus Star Wars actually became reality...twenty years later, AND Mr. Gorbachev DID tear down that wall. BUT that was a different time and a different war, we were not at war with Islam. And Reagan and McCain are polar opposites in too many ways to even put here.

But Biden acknowledged Tuesday that McCain’s nuclear security speech contained "many ideas that suggest a welcome departure from the Bush Administration’s hostility to arms control."

Well, if its good enough for Hairplugs Biden, no worries from me.

HERE is McCain's full text of his speech in Denver.

Hussein Obomber Gaffe's and Lies Keep Coming

CBS News

LAS CRUCES, N.M.

Despite not having served in the military himself, Barack Obama used his Memorial Day remarks to speak about his family’s service. “My grandfather marched in Patton’s army, but I cannot know what it is to walk into battle like so many of you,” he told a small group of veterans here. “My grandmother worked on a bomber assembly line, but I cannot know what it is for a family to sacrifice like so many of yours have.”

Obama also spoke about his uncle, who was part of the American brigade that helped to liberate Auschwitz. He said the family legend is that, upon returning from war, his uncle spent six months in an attic. “Now obviously, something had really affected him deeply, but at that time there just weren’t the kinds of facilities to help somebody work through that kind of pain,” Obama said. “That’s why this idea of making sure that every single veteran, when they are discharged, are screened for post-traumatic stress disorder and given the mental health services that they need – that’s why it’s so important.”

UPDATE from CBS news:

Obama's campaign clarified the comments about the candidate's great-uncle liberating Auschwitz, saying Obama was "mistaken," and was referring to Buchenwald, not Auschwitz. “Senator Obama’s family is proud of the service of his grandfather and uncles in World War II – especially the fact that his great uncle was a part of liberating one of the concentration camps at Buchenwald," said spokesman Bill Burton.

And this one..............

Auschwitz was liberated by Soviet forces as they marched across Poland in January 1945. The U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum says Americans liberated several death camps in Germany, including Buchenwald, Dachau and Mauthausen.

"On April 4, 1945, the 89th overran Ohrdruf, a subcamp of the Buchenwald concentration camp. Ohrdruf was the first Nazi concentration camp liberated by U.S. troops in Germany," according to the museum. "A week later, on April 12, Generals Dwight D. Eisenhower, George S. Patton, and Omar Bradley visited Ohrdruf to see, firsthand, evidence of Nazi atrocities against concentration camp prisoners."

Obama's mistaken mention of the camp on Monday quickly generated Internet chatter, ranging from puzzlement to outrage. The Republican Party demanded an explanation.

"It was Soviet troops that liberated Auschwitz, so unless his uncle was serving in the Red Army, there's no way Obama's statement yesterday can be true," said Alex Conant, a spokesman for the Republican National Committee.

HEY B. Hussein O. ~ We Have Oil We Just Need To Drill For It!

Obama says fuel prices will change car habits

Reuters complete article

Barack Obama said on Saturday Americans would start changing the kinds of cars they drive if gasoline prices continue to climb and said he owned a hybrid vehicle, though he doesn't drive it much.

Obama, an Illinois senator and the front-runner for his party's presidential nomination, has made fighting climate change a key issue of his campaign, and as fuel prices soar, he has repeatedly called on car makers to increase fuel efficiency standards.

Without specifically telling Americans to stop buying gas-guzzling sport utility vehicles, the Illinois senator said higher fuel prices would lead to a shift.

"We've seen that this quarter. People are changing their behavior and we've seen a slump in the sales of SUVs and big trucks and a drastic spike in cars both medium size and small," he told reporters on his campaign plane.

Obama put responsibility on car makers to make vehicles more fuel efficient.

"They've done a better job of investment than they have in the past. There's still more work to do, and the federal government should help them do it," he said.

Obama, who spends most of his time traveling around the country on a plane and in cars driven by his Secret Service agents, does have a car of his own that is environmentally friendly.

"These days I don't drive much," he said. "I bought a hybrid, but we keep it in the garage mostly."

Wild Thing's comment........

"These days I don't drive much," he said. "I bought a hybrid, but we keep it in the garage mostly."

In the near future — used car ads that proclaim the car was: “Previously owned by a politician attempting to get the green vote — mostly kept in the garage”.

Obama put responsibility on car makers to make vehicles more fuel efficient

Typical liberal thinking. If people want fuel-efficient cars, the free market- not the government- will dictate what the car makers manufacture.

The Obamas’ Footprint II

"Barack Obama's airplane use, here's more info on his oil addiction: When the Green Senator disembarks from his Secret Service-provided Chevy Suburban, he boards a Boeing 757 (sucking 1,100 gallons of fuel an hour) booked by his campaign through Air Charter (pictured below). And because his wife, Michelle, generally campaigns separately from her husband, you can add to that fuel consumption number (although, given Barack Obama’s large press contingent, she may require a smaller plane like an MD-80. The Obama campaign has a set policy against using corporate jets)."

....Thank you Mark for the article.

Reagan's Would-be Assassin Aided by Top Obama Adviser

'Lawyer of the left' also represents alleged killer of U.S. soldier, helped Clinton during Lewinsky

CPUSA 2008 Electoral Policy

An attorney and top foreign policy adviser to Sen. Barack Obama is coming under fire for representing controversial figures, including an accused human rights abuser, an alleged murderer of a U.S. soldier and even the would-be assassin of President Ronald Reagan.

Greg Craig, who has been termed the "lawyer of the left," represented John Hinckley Jr., who attempted to assassinate Reagan in 1981 by firing six bullets at the president as he left a hotel. Craig was reportedly the architect of Hinckley's successful defense in which he was found not guilty by reason of insanity, even though reports by the federal prosecution found Hinckley sane.

As a partner in the high-powered Washington, D.C., law firm of Williams & Connolly, Craig represented former Bolivian Defense Minister Carlos Sanchez-Berzain in a federal lawsuit of "crimes against humanity" due to his alleged role in the suppression of labor union riots in 2003 that resulted in the deaths of 67 people.

Sanchez-Berzain is loathed in Bolivia for allegedly turning the army loose on protesters in what was described as a brutal massacre of unarmed men, women and children, some of whom were reportedly shot at point-blank range.

Craig currently represents Pedro Miguel Gonzalez-Pinzon, president of the Panamanian National Assembly, who is wanted in the U.S. for the 1992 murder of a U.S. Army soldier and the attempted murder of another.

Gonzalez, a harsh critic of the U.S., is accused of murdering the solider, Zak Hernandez Laporte, on the eve of President George H.W. Bush's visit to Panama in 1992. The FBI is said to have credible evidence proving Gonzalez's guilt.

The accusations and Gonzalez's Panamanian government position are a primary reason the U.S. has halted a U.S.-Panama free trade accord.

The American Future Fund this week called on Obama to fire Craig, stating in an ad campaign that someone who "has a history of defending corrupt foreign leaders and murderers" could offer severely misguided advice to the Illinois senator.

The AFF launched a YouTube video petitioning for Craig's ouster........

In a January editorial, the Dallas Morning News called on Obama to fire Craig if the attorney doesn't drop the Panamanian as a client:

"Mr. Obama has made clear that the White House is no place for influence-peddlers and special interests. ... This is one instance where he needs to show presidential decisiveness by asking Mr. Craig to choose between the campaign and involvement in a legal case where hot-button bilateral issues – and a Senate vote – hang in the balance," read the editorial.

Obama repeatedly has attacked Sen. John McCain for purportedly allowing lobbyists to serve as top advisers.

The Political Punch blog run by ABC News senior national correspondent Jake Tapper noted:

"There's a big difference between a lobbyist, who is paid to interact with lawmakers such as Mr. Obama, and a lawyer, who works with the courts. But in this situation, Gonzalez's indictment has complicated passage of the U.S.-Panama Free Trade Agreement."

Craig recently said at a forum that Obama's campaign is aware of his involvement in the Gonzalez case.

"I have removed myself from participation in discussions with the candidate or his advisers on relations between the United States and Panama," Craig said.

Obama has been on the record stating he opposes any trade act with Panama due to the Gonzalez case. But Obama has not addressed Craig's defense of other unsavory characters such as Hinckley. Craig also has represented Sen. Ted Kennedy, D-Mass., in the 1991 Palm Beach, Fla., rape case involving the senator and his accused nephew, William Kennedy Smith, who was acquitted of all charges. Craig was an aide to Kennedy in the 1980s. In 2004, Craig was counsel for then-U.N. Secretary-General Kofi Annan during investigations that year of the Oil-for-Food scandal. Craig, an anti-war protester in the 1960s, also successfully represented Juan Miguel Gonzalez, the Cuban father of Elian Gonzalez during the 2000 child custody dispute that ended in the forcible seizure of Elian by U.S. marshals and the boy's return to Cuba. According to reports, Craig was heavily involved in the decision to seize Elian. The outcome was seen as a major victory for Cuban President Fidel Castro.

Craig is a top foreign policy adviser to Obama. His foreign policy experience includes serving as Sen. Ted Kennedy's senior adviser on defense, foreign policy and national security issues from 1974 to 1988. In 1997, Secretary of State Madeleine Albright appointed Craig as a top senior adviser and as director of policy planning.

Craig's embrace of Obama turned some heads due to the attorney's high profile representation of Bill Clinton during impeachment hearings over the Monica Lewinsky scandal. When the Senate refused to convict Clinton on accusations of perjury, Craig was seen as the politician's savior.

But Craig admonished Sen. Hillary Clinton in a March posting on Obama's site:

"Hillary Clinton's argument that she has passed 'the commander-in-chief test' is simply not supported by her record," he wrote.
"Obama possesses the personal attributes of a great leader – an even temperament, an open-minded approach to even the most challenging problems, a willingness to listen to all views, clarity of vision, the ability to inspire, conviction and courage," Craig argued.

Wild Thing's comment........

Incredible isn’t it? The associations of Obama are mind-boggling. Actually Obama fits in perfectly with these people, all peas in a pod.

This country will not be the same after 4 years of Obamessiah. In my opinion and my impression is that Obama is not really an American. He treats his country with the disdain and detachment of some foreign leftist. Therein lies a big danger as well.

The resumes of the Obama ‘folks’ is coming out in dribbles and drabs; but heavy with warnings.

Repubs should make a scrolling ad; resume like; with the highlights of ‘work experience/background’ of those close to Obama.

Could say a great deal; in small amount of space/time.

Obama Mentored by Communist Party Figure

The new national headquarters of the Communist Party USA! ( CPUSA)

Investigations show ties to radicals who shaped him, helped launch his political career

Frank Marshall Davis

Barack Obama had extensive ties with extreme anti-American elements, including agents of the Moscow-controlled Communist Party USA, in Hawaii and Chicago, according to two new reports released yesterday in Washington, D.C., by two experienced internal security investigators.

Investigative journalist Cliff Kincaid and Herbert Romerstein, a former investigator with the U.S. House Committee on Un-American Activities, presented evidence Obama was mentored, while attending high school in Hawaii, by Frank Marshall Davis, an African-American poet and journalist who was also a CPUSA member.

Sources:
WND
Israpundit

“Communism in Hawaii and the Obama Connection” by Herbert Romerstein
In this report the authors document that in 1948, Davis decided to move from Chicago to Honolulu at the suggestion of what they describe as two "secret CPUSA members," actor Paul Robeson and Harry Bridges, the head of the International Longshoremen's and Warehousemen Union, or ILWU.

In Chicago, Davis had worked for the Chicago Star newspaper; in Honolulu, he was hired as a reporter for the Honolulu Record, both identified by Kincaid and Romerstein as "communist front newspapers."

In his autobiography, "Dreams from My Father," Obama discusses the influence a mentor identified in the book only as "Frank" had on his intellectual development.

Obama described Frank as a drinking companion of his grandfather, who had boasted of his association with African-American authors Richard Wright and Langston Hughes during the time Frank was a journalist in Chicago.

Romerstein, in addition to having served as investigator with the U.S. House Committee on Un-American Activities, served in the same capacity with the House Committee on Internal Security and the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence. He was the head of the Office to Counter Soviet Disinformation for the U.S. Information Agency. Romerstein is also co-author of the influential book "The Venona Secrets: Exposing Soviet Espionage and America's Traitors," which included extensive documentation of the communist activities of Roosevelt administration staffer Alger Hiss.

Kincaid and Romerstein quote Kathryn Takara of the University of Hawaii, who wrote a dissertation on the life of Frank Marshall Davis, confirming Davis was a significant influence on Obama when the senator attended Punahou prep school in Hawaii from 1975 to 1979

A transcript of a 1956 hearing before the Senate Internal Security Subcommittee discovered by internal security affairs researcher and writer Max Friedman showed Davis took the Fifth Amendment when asked by the subcommittee if he was or had ever been a member of the Communist Party.

In ithe second report:

“Communism in Chicago and the Obama Connection” by Cliff Kincaid.

Kincaid and Romerstein present evidence supporting their contention the SDS organization from which the Weather Underground organization and radicals Bill Ayers and Bernardine Dorhn came, received financial contributions from the CPUSA, which in turn receive its funding from Moscow.

Obama's run for the Illinois state Senate was launched by a fundraiser organized at Ayers' and Dorhn's Chicago home by Alice Palmer. Palmer had named Obama to succeed her in the state Senate in 1995, when she decided to run for a U.S. congressional seat.

Nine years before Palmer picked Obama to be her successor, she was the only African-American journalist to travel to the Soviet Union to attend the 27th Congress of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union, according to an article Palmer wrote in the CPUSA newspaper, People's Daily World, June 19, 1986.

"There has been no explanation of why Ayers et al. played a role in launching Obama's political career," Kincaid wrote.

Kincaid and Romerstein present documentation that Tom Hayden, another major figure in the SDS, is today one of four principal initiators of the "Progressives for Obama" movement, which calls for ending the war in Iraq "as quickly as possible, not in five years."

According to Kincaid and Romerstein, U.S. Peace Council executive committee member Frank Chapman "blew the whistle on communist support for Obama's presidential bid and his real agenda" in a letter to the People's Weekly World after Obama's win in the Iowa Democratic Party caucuses.

"Obama's victory was more than a progressive move; it was a dialectical leap ushering in a qualitatively new era of struggle," Chapman wrote. "Marx once compared revolutionary struggle with the work of the mole, who sometimes burrows so far beneath the ground that he leaves no trace of his movement on the surface.

Kincaid and Romerstein wrote, "The clear implication of Chapman's letter is that Obama himself, or some of his Marxist supporters, are acting like moles in the political process. The suggestion is that something is being hidden from the public."

Wild Thing's comment........

Every page of Barack Hussein Obama’s life contains links to militant Muslims, hard core communists, virulent Antisemites, terrorists and their enablers, and good old fashioned political crooks. Liberals may argue that each of these relationships does not reflect Obama’s “real thinking”, but only the incurably insane would hold that as a package they do not mirror his ideology and illuminate his character.

Not counting the communist professors he sought out in college and his Stalinist wife, the people Obama admires and hopes to emulate are his father (posthumously), his pastor, and his friend, the terrorist.

Girly Man B.HUSSEIN Obama Talk to Commanders or Meet with Dictators?

Yesterday, General Petraeus was back on Capitol Hill to testify before Congress. Senator Barack Obama was there too, but not for long. He stayed in the committee meeting long enough to ask one question, before ducking out to head back to the campaign trail. This wouldn't normally be a big deal, except ...

Senator Obama has never sat down, one-on-one, with General Petraeus. Even worse, he hasn't visited Iraq, and our brave troops on the ground, in over two years. And on April 8, when two-dozen Illinois veterans went to his office for a meeting, Senator Obama was unwilling to meet with them. He was in his office, just wouldn't come out.

EX Army Chaplain Past of Aiding The Enemy, Spy, Espionage Now DNC Delegate!

Obama Delegate Yusuf Yee or James J. Yee....When returning from duty at the Guantanamo Bay Naval Base, he was arrested on September 10, 2003, in Jacksonville, Florida, when a U.S. Customs agent found a list of Guantanamo detainees and interrogators among his belongings. He was charged with five offenses: sedition, aiding the enemy, spying, espionage, and failure to obey a general order. These charges were later reduced to mishandling classified

Ex-Army chaplain cleared in Gitmo spy case is Obama delegate

komoTV

OLYMPIA, Wash.

A former Army Muslim chaplain at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, who was cleared of spy accusations is now a Democratic National Convention delegate pledged to Sen. Barack Obama.

Former Capt. James J. Yee was among the delegates who were elected by precinct representatives Saturday at the party's 9th Congressional District convention at North Thurston High School.

Others chosen at the gathering were Zach Smith, a former supporter of ex-Sen. John Edwards who is now pledged to Clinton, and Natalie Stevens, an alternate pledged to Obama.

Yee, a West Point graduate, was accused in 2003 of being part of a spy ring at the U.S. prison for suspected terrorists in Guantanamo Bay. He spent 76 days in solitary confinement before being exonerated and later resigned from the Army, receiving an honorable discharge.

Yee now lives with his wife and daughter in Olympia, south of Fort Lewis, where he was assigned before and after his ordeal.

The experience left him as "living proof that civil liberties have been eroded since 9/11," Yee told The Olympian newspaper on Monday.

He said that during the gathering Saturday, "I came out and basically reiterated that Sen. Obama is really the only candidate that consistently campaigns on rejecting torture without exception, on closing Guantanamo Bay, restoring habeas (corpus) and adhering to the Geneva Conventions."

Wild Thing's comment.......

Obama is a magnet for every enemy of America. He was found working for the ENEMY, with classified info that never should have left Guantanamo, but he slithers away with an honorable discharge and is now another leftist hack for Obama?? What a screwed up country!

Notice the Muslim scull cap, beard and phony, hypocritical American flag pin. Outrageous.

If you can't be tried for treason and sedition in this country we are doomed.

When will we start to fight back and stop these traitors?

....Thank you Jack for sending this to me.

McCain Giving Points To Supporters To Comment On Blogs

McCain incentivizing supporters to comment on blogs

John McCain's campaign is using their campaign website to encourage supporters to post supportive comments on political blogs, including the most well-known liberal site in the blogosphere. And to make things easier, they're including talking points with which sympathizers can use to get out the McCain message.

"Select from the numerous web, blog and news sites listed here, go there, and make your opinions supporting John McCain known," instructs the page.

McCain supporters are asked to send the details of their comment to the campaign, which in turn will verify it and then reward the supporter with "points" (assumedly to accumulate for McCain swag)

Among the "featured blogs" currently is Daily Kos, the well-read liberal blog run by Markos Moulitsas that frequently mocks and attacks Republicans such as McCain.

Asked about the effort to gin up online support, McCain spokesman Brian Rogers said, "We absolutely encourage our supporters to engage in this discussion."

As for the talking points, which currently link over to two recent McCain speeches, Rogers said they were "facts about John McCain and his record."

As close readers of Politico blogs and others know, Obama dominates both Clinton and McCain when it comes to drawing fervent online support.

UPDATE:

Rogers sends over word that the points system will be larger than mere competing to see who can post the most pro-McCain comments.

"It will help our supporters track and compete against one another for reaching out and making phone calls, sending letters to the editor, signing up friends and other campaign activities," he says.

From McCain's website:
Spread The Word

"Help spread the word about John McCain on news and blog sites.

Wild Thing's comment........

I want no part of this, but I wanted to let you know what is going on with McCain's campaign.

The three blogs mentioned on McCain's web site are: Redstate, Daily Kos and Jeff Emanuel.

McCain sucks up to the execrable Daily Kos. Suggesting that people post messages supporting McCain on DailyKos is laughable. The poster would get banned or heckled to death, and probably both. What’s even sillier is that you can bet your bottom dollar the Kos people probably already know about this “plan” and will be looking out for it.

What I find funny also is at the site they're including talking points. I mean if a person has to be told what to say, that is straight out of the Democrat hand book for talking points for political talk shows. We have seen that all the way back to the Clinton's reign in the White House. Democrats given a set of words, bump key words or phrases to use on all the political talk shows. It got to be so obvious and the democrats still do this talking points thing. LOL

It’s pretty pathetic when a candidate has to reward people for saying nice things about him. Not sure what the points go to maybe a t-shirt. It will probably have "Viva La Raza" printed across the front. Maybe a photo image of his buddy Juan Hernandez .

I wonder if the campaign has really thought this through. This has a high chance of backfiring. The campaign is essentially sending out a bunch of complete amateurs to conduct its web-based PR. What happens when some McCainiac says something way, way, way out of line, then expects the McCain campaign to come through with a T-shirt or coffee mug as a reward? By offering incentives to online posts, the McCain campaign is claiming a form of “ownership” of them. Considering some of the wacky stuff that could get posted, does McCain REALLY want to own other peoples’ heat-of-the-moment, off-the-cuff remarks?

Very dangerous territory for someone who has repeatedly said he wishes to conduct a civil, respectful campaign.

Comrade Hillary May Take Delegate Fight to Convention

Hillary Clinton, comrade of the American people, delivers a crushing victory speech over her nemesis commissar Obama.

Clinton May Take Delegate Fight to Convention

And this from Hugh Hewitt at Townhall:

BOCA RATON, Fla.

Hillary Rodham Clinton says she is willing to take her fight to seat Florida and Michigan delegates to the convention if the two states want to go that far. In an interview with The Associated Press, Clinton was asked whether she would support the states if they continue the fight.

The presidential candidate said Wednesday, "Yes I will. I will, because I feel very strongly about this."

Clinton is calling for delegates from both states to be seated at the convention based on the primaries.

Michelle Obama Under Fire for 2004 Letter Defending Partial-Birth Abortions

Washington, DC

LifeNews.com

Michelle Obama, the attorney wife of pro-abortion Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama, is coming under fire for a letter she wrote defending partial-birth abortions. The 2004 letter, written to help Obama in his campaign for his U.S. Senate seat, opposes the ban on the abortion procedure.

In February 2004, Michelle Obama penned a fundraising letter to help her husband Barack raise funds for his Illinois-based Senate seat.

The letter contends the federal ban on partial-birth abortions "is clearly unconstitutional" and "a flawed law."

Though the three-day-long partial-birth abortion procedure involves the partial birth of a baby during the middle trimester of pregnancy and the jamming of scissors into the back of her head to kill her, Obama's wife describes it as "legitimate" medicine.

"The fact remains, with no provision to protect the heath of the mother, this ban on a legitimate medical procedure is clearly unconditional and must be overturned," Michelle Obama writes in the letter.

She also said the Bush administration should not encourage the abortion practitioners who sued to reverse the ban to drop their lawsuit to make it unconditional. The Supreme Court later sided with Bush and Congress in saying the ban is legitimate.

In closing, Obama told prospective donors that they could "count on" Barack to "keep the Bush team from appointing the Supreme Court justice that will vote against Roe v. Wade."

Noted pro-life advocate Jill Stanek highlighted the letter on her blog and said Michelle was "leeching off the partial birth abortion ban" to raise funds for her husband.

"I'd like to ask Michelle to explain her legal opinion about this law the Supremes went on to declare constitutional," Stanek said.

"I'd like to ask Michelle how in the world she could in good conscience raise money from fear-mongering about this barbaric abortion procedure," she added.

Stanek pointed out that Barack Obama recently issued a warning to "lay off my wife" after she came under fire about an unrelated issue.

Stanek said the request amounted to "Free speech for me but not for thee" -- something she called "a typical left-wing position."

"So it's fine to kill late-term babies, but we can't risk hurting Michelle's feelings about it," she added.

Wild Thing's comment........

Yes I know, Lay off the Messiah’s wife. La, la, la, I can't hear you Obama.

I wonder at what point Michelle thinks abortion turns into murder?

Black which used to insisted on being called (African-Americans till this election) enthusiastically support abortion of all kinds. Margaret Sanger, the founder of Planned Parenthood, was a devout racist. And there is no ethnic group that has lost more innocents since the act of abortion has become legal. Abortion has been a terror on the black community.

How Many Gaffes and Lies Is A Candidate Allowed

Barack Gaffes The Obama machine
Michelle Malkin
NRO

All it takes is one gaffe to taint a Republican for life. The political establishment never let Dan Quayle live down his fateful misspelling of “potatoe.” The New York Times distorted and misreported the first President Bush’s questions about new scanner technology at a grocers’ convention to brand him permanently as out of touch.

But what about Barack Obama? The guy’s a perpetual gaffe machine. Let us count the ways, large and small, that his tongue has betrayed him throughout the campaign:

* Last May, he claimed that tornadoes in Kansas killed a whopping 10,000 people: “In case you missed it, this week, there was a tragedy in Kansas. Ten thousand people died — an entire town destroyed.” The actual death toll: 12.

* Earlier this month in Oregon, he redrew the map of the United States: “Over the last 15 months, we’ve traveled to every corner of the United States. I’ve now been in 57 states? I think one left to go.”

* Last week, in front of a roaring Sioux Falls, S.D., audience, Obama exulted: “Thank you, Sioux City. ... I said it wrong. I’ve been in Iowa for too long. I’m sorry.”

* Explaining last week why he was trailing Hillary Clinton in Kentucky, Obama again botched basic geography: “Sen. Clinton, I think, is much better known, coming from a nearby state of Arkansas. So it’s not surprising that she would have an advantage in some of those states in the middle.” On what map is Arkansas closer to Kentucky than Illinois?

* Obama has as much trouble with numbers as he has with maps. Last March, on the anniversary of the Bloody Sunday march in Selma, Ala., he claimed his parents united as a direct result of the civil rights movement: “There was something stirring across the country because of what happened in Selma, Ala., because some folks are willing to march across a bridge. So they got together and Barack Obama Jr. was born.”

Obama was born in 1961. The Selma march took place in 1965. His spokesman, Bill Burton, later explained that Obama was “speaking metaphorically about the civil-rights movement as a whole.”

* Earlier this month in Cape Girardeau, Mo., Obama showed off his knowledge of the war in Afghanistan by homing in on a lack of translators: “We only have a certain number of them, and if they are all in Iraq, then it’s harder for us to use them in Afghanistan.” The real reason it’s “harder for us to use them” in Afghanistan: Iraqis speak Arabic or Kurdish. The Afghanis speak Pashto, Farsi, or other non-Arabic languages.

* Over the weekend in Oregon, Obama pleaded ignorance of the decades-old, multibillion-dollar massive Hanford nuclear-waste cleanup: “Here’s something that you will rarely hear from a politician, and that is that I’m not familiar with the Hanford, uuuuhh, site, so I don’t know exactly what’s going on there. (Applause.) Now, having said that, I promise you I’ll learn about it by the time I leave here on the ride back to the airport.”

I assume on that ride, a staffer reminded him that he’s voted on at least one defense-authorization bill that addressed the “costs, schedules, and technical issues” dealing with the nation’s most contaminated nuclear-waste site.

* Last March, the Chicago Tribune reported this little-noticed nugget about a fake autobiographical detail in Obama’s Dreams from My Father: “Then, there’s the copy of Life magazine that Obama presents as his racial awakening at age 9. In it, he wrote, was an article and two accompanying photographs of an African-American man physically and mentally scarred by his efforts to lighten his skin. In fact, the Life article and the photographs don’t exist, say the magazine’s own historians.”

* And in perhaps the most seriously troubling set of gaffes of them all, Obama told a Portland crowd over the weekend that Iran doesn’t “pose a serious threat to us” — cluelessly arguing that “tiny countries” with small defense budgets can’t do us harm — and then promptly flip-flopped the next day, claiming, “I’ve made it clear for years that the threat from Iran is grave.”

Barack Obama — promoted by the Left and the media as an all-knowing, articulate, transcendent Messiah — is a walking, talking gaffe machine. How many more passes does he get? How many more can we afford?

And pssst- Obama. That Hanford...ah..”site” thingy. Its in Washington state. Not Oregon.

"Lay off my wife." ~ Obamalamadingdong

Obama tells Tenn.'s GOP: 'Lay off my wife'

Yahoo

Obama, his party's presidential front-runner, and his wife, Michelle, were asked in an interview aired Monday on ABC's "Good Morning America" about an online video last week by the state's GOP taking her to task for a comment some considered unpatriotic.

"The GOP, should I be the nominee, can say whatever they want to say about me, my track record," Obama said. "If they think that they're going to try to make Michelle an issue in this campaign, they should be careful because that I find unacceptable, the notion that you start attacking my wife or my family."

He called the strategy "low class."

The video, posted on YouTube, centered on remarks Michelle Obama made while campaigning in Wisconsin last February, when she said: "For the first time in my adult life, I am really proud of my country."

The four-minute video replayed the remark six times, interspersing it with commentary by Tennesseans on why they are proud of America. In a news release that included a link to the video, Tennessee's GOP said "the Tennessee Republican Party has always been proud of America." It urged radio stations to play "patriotic music" during Michelle Obama's visit to Nashville last Thursday.

Michelle Obama later clarified the remark, saying she meant she was proud of how Americans were engaging in the political process and that she had always been proud of her country.

"Whoever is in charge of the Tennessee GOP needs to think long and hard about the kind of campaign they want to run, and I think that's true for everybody, Democrat or Republican," Obama said in the ABC interview, adding: "These folks should lay off my wife."

Obama said his wife "loves this country. For them to try to distort or to play snippets of her remarks in ways that are unflattering to her is, I think, just low class. I think that most of the American people would think that as well."

Tennessee's Republican Party was roundly criticized in March, including by likely presidential nominee John McCain, for a news release that used Barack Obama's middle name — Hussein — and showed a photo of him wearing what it said was "Muslim attire."

The release ultimately was removed from the party's Web site at the urging of the state's two Republican senators and Republican National Committee Chairman Mike Duncan, who said he "rejects these kinds of campaign tactics."

The Tenn Rep. ad

Wild Thing's comment........

Yo Obama, tell your wife to just stay out of politics then!

First of all she is a public figure....which make her fair game. Secondly she is the one that has the hate for America and once she made her statement and she did it TWICE she cannot take that back no matter how much explaining she thinks will change it.

Michelle Obama's out there, making appearances on her own. The "attack" was directed at her recorded public statements, independent of her "family."

I am not huge fan of McCain but McCain's wife loves America and it is just too bad the wives are not running instead of the husbands. hahaha I would vote for Cindy McCain.

I have been reading at several sites there is some kind of video tape of Michelle Obama going off and sounding like Rev. Wright they are calling it the Michelle “whitey tape. It is supposed to surface but no one is sure when or who will let it out. Does Hillary have it and is waiting no one is sure. But if this is true maybe this that Obama has done about lay off my wife is a preemptive strike in case the Michelle “whitey tape does surface......just wondering........

RUSH: With Obama we started out, we couldn't talk about his big ears 'cause that made him nervous. We've gone from that to this: Not only can we not mention his ears...

We can't talk about his mother.

We can't talk about his father.

We can't talk about his grandmother unless he does, brings her up as a "typical white person."

We can't talk about his wife, can't talk about his preacher, can't talk about his terrorist friends, can't talk about his voting record, can't talk about his religion.

We can't talk about appeasement.

We can't talk about color; we can't talk about lack of color.

We can't talk about race. We can't talk about bombers and mobsters who are his friends. We can't talk about schooling. We can't talk about his name, "Hussein."

We can't talk about his lack of experience. Can't talk about his income. Can't talk about his flag pin.

This started out we can't call him a liberal.

It started out we just couldn't talk about his ears.

Now we can't say anything about him.

"The level of dishonesty at work here is large. Michelle Obama has made long speeches full of political content in her appearances at campaign rallies made to encourage people to vote for her husband. This makes her a central figure in the campaign.
Many of her ideas are radical, like those of her husband. It is of course wrong to distort or manipulate her remarks, but playing excerpts is not only legitimate but a necessary exercise of the media’s job to present the candidate and his closest advisors in full. What lacks class is the attempt to mold the media into an agent of the campaign by whining about how its coverage of speeches and statements is “detestable.”

Michelle Obama’s rhetoric has been full of appeals to the victim mentality, stuffed with angry rhetoric about “moving bars” and the climate of fear in the country.

Now her husband is trying to intimidate political coverage, to create a zone in which Michelle Obama and other associates can say or do anything and yet have it defined as irrelevant to his candidacy. That is a radical demand on the media, and while some in the MSM may agree to it as part of its campaign to get Obama elected, self-respecting professionals won’t be intimidated and they won’t be issued free passes to Mrs. Obama or any other figure that looms large in Obama’s life.
The bitterness Wright feels towards America has seeped into Michelle Obama’s rhetoric."

....Thank you Mark for the link.

B.Hussein Gets Record Crowd at Waterfront Park in Portland, Ore.

B. Hussein and his wife in Portland Oregon.

PORTLAND, Ore. -- Sen. Barack Obama has seen his share of large crowds over the last 15 months, but his campaign said they have not approached the numbers gathered along the waterfront here right now.

The campaign, citing figures from Duane Bray, battalion chief of Portland Fire & Rescue, estimated that 75,000 people are watching him speak.

The scene suggests this is not an exaggeration. The sea of heads stretches for half a mile along the grassy embankment, while others watch from kayaks and power boats bobbing on the Willamette River. More hug the rails of the steel bridge that stretches across the water and crowds are even watching from jetties on the opposite shore.

Wild Thing's comment........

Per the Obama campaign, 75,000 people (60,000 in the gates and 15,000 outside of them). The 60k was confirmed by the local FD as inside. Now the headlines are listing 80k . LOL I guess the amount will keep growing with the media lies. It still was a huge crowd so why lie, I guess it just comes natural to them.

The New Geography by Russ Vaughn

The New Geography
written by Russ Vaughn

It is good, very good indeed to see Barack Obama making good on his promises for meaningful change, even though we're still several months shy of the chief justice actually placing the golden crown upon his handsome, entitled head. No, this is a politician so different from the rest that he's making major changes without waiting for the electoral process, constitutional authority or congressional approval. Maintaining the momentum of his fast track political ascension he's already putting his campaign promises into action, making major changes in the way we look at ourselves, and I do mean major.

How about, for instance the seven new states we're suddenly being blessed with? And I don't use that term blessed without due consideration of the political implications of Barack's newly constituted America. For instance all you smarty-pants conservative pundits making snide remarks about Obama not knowing his own state of Illinois borders on Kentucky while claiming Hillary's advantage in the primary there is due to her home state of Arkansas' proximity; well, you instapundits just don't understand the new geography of Obamamerica.

You think Illinois borders on Kentucky, you smug know-it-alls? Well, maybe right now it does, but it won't for long since our Lord High Geographer has decided, in a gesture of unprecedented political magnanimity to a crushed political opponent, to create a new buffer state between the two to serve as a permanent site of political exile for you know who. However, I do think naming it Hillbilliana was a bit peevish and designating the capitol Monicapolis downright petty. However, if the Prophet walls off the entire new state and declares it a maximum security facility, he'll probably enjoy the thanks of a grateful nation, not to mention New Yorkers.

I'm probably going out on a limb here by revealing that I have inside information from someone within the Obama campaign, in fact the very person who has been tapped by His Eminence to head up his States Realignment Commission (STREAC) in the new administration. I sure hope posting it here doesn't get him fired from his campaign position that he can't be fired from because he doesn't hold a position within the campaign. Understand? OK, here then are proposals for some of the remaining new states:

New Ayresona, which will be formed from a corridor extending from Hollywood, New Mexico (formerly known as Santa Fe before Shirley McClain led the Left Coast invasion of the mindsnatchers) to Arizona to encompass those portions of that state now dominated by ASU and UA students and retired UAW workers from Michigan. To honor both its inspired creator and its unrepentant namesake, the proposed name for the new capitol is Obomba.

Wrightaho will begin in Gary, Indiana and encompass all of Chicago as it extends far enough into Wisconsin to include Madison (thereby restoring relative political sanity to the Badger State). The commission will designate the current Chicago as the new capital but has under review a proposal to rename it Shi-town, which will forever after have juvenile geography students purposely leaving out the hyphen.

Farrakhansas, the largest of the new states, is to be carved out of the westernmost portions of North and South Dakota to demonstrate that the Anointed One is cleverly aware of the unique potential of flyover country. This area is now but sparsely populated by humans and has no known black residents. Both problems will be solved by designating F-K, as it is now abbreviated by commission members, as the probation and parole site for all American jails and prisons. This is intended to provide the Democratic Administration with the ability to claim, "Crime problem? What crime problem? Only one state has a crime problem and look where it is." The proposed name for the new capitol, which is now but empty prairie, is Tyson's Corner. Sorry about that, Virginia.

Rezkohoma will serve a similar purpose as F-K but on a white collar level and with a decidedly international flavor demonstrated by the construction of the world's largest international airport located in this dry rectangle of land that used to be the Oklahoma panhandle. This facility will be capable of handling hundreds of daily, over-the-pole flights to the Mideast. The capital's proposed name, Ikhanbuyya, reflects both an exotic, international flavor as well as the new state's laissez-faire entrepreneurial spirit. Can't you just hear that peppy new state song?

Rezzzzkohoma, where the bucks come flowing off the planes...

At this point, plans for the two remaining states are still on the board although names have been proposed. To facilitate a good working relationship with Congress, STREAC is in the process of demarcating two new western states, Pelosifornia, which will naturally link Hollywood and San Francisco with a special air corridor reserved for Learjets and larger private aircraft, and Reidosa, a small but essential carve-out of Las Vegas from the rest of the state. It is the Great One's thinking that this small but significant geopolitical change will greatly enhance the value of the Senate leader's inexpensively obtained real estate holdings there, paving the way for enhanced Senate-Administration relations.

So, just what part of New Geography don't you smugbutt conservatives understand? And if any of you think you can come up with better names than STREAC, let's hear ‘em.

Wild Thing's comment........

There are several video's by the same person so I am going to post some of them today.

Brilliant. This is excellent and terrifying and so well done! Obama is a package. He's somebody's creation. Obama himself says people see in him what they want to see.

This video was made by a person that wants Hillary Clinton to win. But interesting that it could very well be used by a Republican as well. The only thing I would take out of it would be the photo of Ronald Reagan shortly after the video begins.

We have all been amazed at the reaction across our country toward Obama.

Obama is NOT handsome but we are told by almost all the talking heads that he is a good looking man.

Obama is NOT an eloquent speaker, he can read speeches but left on his own he stammers and stutters for words and complete sentences.

And when reading his speeches he goes into his black church preacher accent with the emphasizing of words at the end of sentences. More of being an actor then a speaker he is acting out the part and not being real. Any one of us could speak the same way.

Obama is NOT experienced he is more like a plant put into place and many have said this on both sides of the aisle.

The Rev. Wrightgate did not throw off his campaign but only for a short time. The Rezkogate, Ayersgate, Farrakhangate, Black Panthergate etc. nothing has taken his campaign down. Including all the terrorists that have endorsed him such as the Hamas leaders and the PLO.

Maybe because it is not a campaign it is a movement like we have been told repeatedly. A movement that even the RNC and GOP obviously have decided to allow to win.

More of my thoughts on this.

The RNC is not stupid, they want our money, they want to win they like the power in being the majority in the Houses and White House. They know the history of McCain and how we conservatives feel about him. Unless McCain is a total loose cannon wouldn't the RNC have sat him down even as the winner our parties delegates, told him to cool it on the LaRaza meet up this summer, they would have told him to chill out on his global warming BS too. Get elected then pull of your leftist thinking agenda but not before November.

Just a thought I could be wrong of course.

Remember back how we all knew that Bush was pro illegals before he ran the first time against Gore. Remember too how he never mentioned it in his speeches, he cooled it. He knew to first get elected then go after his own agenda that conservatives would not approve of. We all knew his feelings on illegals but because he did not keep putting it in our face we said ok he might not do amnesty for illegals and he very well might be a great president. We did the sorelooserman rallies and worked our butts off to get him elected. Even the second term against Hanoi Kerry, when he ran he still had not gone gung-ho on his amnesty dream. Only these last two years or his last term as President has he pushed amnesty and told we conservatives off.

One has to wonder with the blatant way McCain is putting his being more Dem then a Republican in our faces why he too would be so stupid. Does he want to loose? Does he plan on winning with the votes from Hillary's people when she does not win enough delegates? Just something to think about.

This video is about a King maker and it would take more then a campaign to get Obama elected. It is not just blacks voting for him and blacks are not in the majority so there would never be enough votes anyway. I am not saying this jerk is a King maker like the video says,but it does add to how we wonder why and how Obama has been called the Messiah and the tremendous turn out at his speeches.

Sniveling Whiner B. Hussein Obama Complains About Fox News

Obama blames Fox News, e-mail for likely loss in Kentucky

LEXINGTON, Ky

Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama, facing a likely defeat in next Tuesday's primary election, won't travel to Kentucky before the voting, but said he hopes to have much more time to win over Kentucky voters before the November general election.

He also blamed Fox News for disseminating "rumors" about him and said that that and e-mails filled with misinformation that have been "systematically" dispersed have hurt him in Kentucky.

"When we're able to campaign in a place like Iowa for several months and I can visit and talk to people individually, I do very well. That's harder to do at this stage in the campaign," Obama said in a brief telephone interview Friday. "And once we get past the primary, we'll ble to focus more on those states where we need to make sure people know my track record."

In contrast, Obama's rival, Sen. Hillary Clinton, will make five stops in Kentucky over the weekend, including appearances at two university campuses.

Obama spoke to more than 8,000 supporters in Louisville Monday night — his first time in the state since August. He said he had hoped to spend more time in Kentucky earlier this week but was called back to Washington, D.C. for votes on Tuesday.

Since then, he’s stumped in Oregon, which will hold its primary by mail on Tuesday, and South Dakota, where Democrats vote June 3, as well as in states that have already held their primary elections, such as Michigan and Missouri.

“We’re having to campaign in a lot of different places,” Obama said. “Obviously we think Kentucky is important. People in Kentucky are concerned about the same things people are concerned about all across the country — declining wages and incomes combined with the rising costs of everything from gas to health care.”

Obama’s wife, Michelle, is slated to campaign in Kentucky on Monday.

Obama conceded that he has a steep challenge to get his message and background to voters in states such as Kentucky — where he trails Sen. Hillary Clinton by 27 points, according to a poll published earlier this week — and West Virginia, where voters chose Clinton over Obama by 40 points on Tuesday.

"What it says is that I'm not very well known in that part of the country," Obama said. "Sen. Clinton, I think, is much better known, coming from a nearby state of Arkansas. So it's not surprising that she would have an advantage in some of those states in the middle."

Obama has been trying to introduce himself to Kentuckians using a series of biographical TV ads, as well as fliers, including one that shows him at a pulpit in front of a church’s cross and pipe organ.

He acknowledged that he’s trying to “reverse a lot of misconceptions” about his background. He is a Christian, although some e-mail chains have said he is a Muslim.

“Part of it is because there have been these e-mails that have been sent out very systematically, presumably by various political opponents, although I don’t know who,” he said. “And there are a lot of voters who get their news from Fox News. Fox has been pumping up rumors about my religious beliefs or my patriotism or what have you since the beginning of the campaign.”

As Clinton continues to argue that she is better suited to win in key, large swing states such as Pennsylvania and Ohio, Obama countered that he has performed better among independents.

And he said he and Clinton match up similarly against Republican nominee John McCain. Both trail McCain, the U.S. Senator from Arizona, by double digits in a Herald-Leader/WKYT poll of 600 likely general election voters. McCain leads Clinton by 12 points and Obama by 25 points.

“I think whoever the Democratic is we’re going to have some work to do in a state like Kentucky,” Obama said.

Ok Barry there are not 57 States and Illinois borders Kentucky while Arkansas does not. Geography is not Hussein's strong point.

Huckabee Quips About Gun Aimed At Obama

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) - Republican Mike Huckabee responded to an offstage noise during his speech to the National Rifle Association by suggesting it was Barack Obama diving to the floor because someone had aimed a gun at him.

Hearing a loud noise and interrupting his speech, Huckabee said: "That was Barack Obama. He just tripped off a chair. He's getting ready to speak and somebody aimed a gun at him and he—he dove for the floor."

There were only a few murmurs in the crowd after the remark.

The Obama campaign had no comment.

Wild Thing's comment.......

As soon as he said it, and didn’t get the response he expected, I’m sure he started thinking “maybe I shouldn’t make jokes about assassinations and Presidential candidates”.

I am NO fan of Obama but this will probably now be the topic of the news for days on end. augh! I wish Huckabbe YUK would just go back to Arkansas.

This doesn't just hurt him, but it hurts the reputation of responsible gun owners by suggesting that anyone at an NRA convention would do such a thing.

It reminds me of him doing this before when he went on a turkey or quail shoot in IA and took a shot over the heads of the reporters.

Obama Fuming Over Bush Speech ~ LOL

Wild Thing's comment.......

Russian Roulette McCain

McCain widens dialogue on blogs

Washington Times for ENTIRE article

Sen. John McCain's presidential campaign is trying to tap a new audience of potential voters by taking his campaign message straight to liberal and nonpolitical issues-based blogs, which reach millions of readers but don't often delve into conservative politics.

The strategy was in full swing yesterday when Mr. McCain invited non-conservative bloggers to join his regular blogger conference call, just hours after he delivered a major speech previewing his war strategy and other priorities for a first presidential term.

It already has started a war among liberal bloggers over how to react to Mr. McCain's overture.

Mr. McCain's campaign said the Web outreach is a logical extension of an attempt to reach voters beyond his base. It also builds on his successful use of conference calls with conservative bloggers during the Republican primary, which blunted many of the harshest criticisms of the senator.

"The plan is to take the work we've already built on with conservative bloggers and to open up a dialogue with non-conservative bloggers and even nonpolitical bloggers," said Patrick Hynes

OK now here are some other things that have to do with this:

A question and answer from his teleconference that stands out to me was this one......

You say you want to work towards bipartisanship. What positions would you be willing to appoint Democrats to in your administration?

"I have a clear record of working with Democrats. I don't have a specific position in mind, but I will ask the most capable people, Democrat or Republican, for a position. I will appoint Democrats to my administration."

And this is a snipet form his speech that he gave in Columbus, Ohio
Entire speech HERE

"If I am elected President, I will work with anyone who sincerely wants to get this country moving again. I will listen to any idea that is offered in good faith and intended to help solve our problems, not make them worse. I will seek the counsel of members of Congress from both parties in forming government policy before I ask them to support it. I will ask Democrats to serve in my administration. My administration will set a new standard for transparency and accountability. I will hold weekly press conferences. I will regularly brief the American people on the progress our policies have made and the setbacks we have encountered. When we make errors, I will confess them readily, and explain what we intend to do to correct them. I will ask Congress to grant me the privilege of coming before both houses to take questions, and address criticism, much the same as the Prime Minister of Great Britain appears regularly before the House of Commons."

Wild Thing's comment.......

McCain is being McCain, maybe that will be the new word for rino. Oh he's being a McCain. sigh

We want things to be done that protect our country, secure our borders, get rid of the scourge of illegals here already…we don’t want to hear more empty promises and rhetoric. We want someone who stands by their word and who puts America first.

We dont want your blind allegiance and ignorance over global warming, over Iraq, and other important international issues.

McCain really doesn’t know how to relate to conservatives.

Ronald Reagan speaking to the White House News Photographers’ Association 5/18/83: “There are some things that you and I have in common in addition to being on the opposite ends of the camera. For you, the darkroom is a place to develop film. For me, it’s a place the Democrats use as a think tank.”

Diane Sawyer Suggestions For Hillary ~ HUH?!

Racial Politics Inside the Democratic Ranks

Townhall.com

by Mike Gallagher

It had to be one of the single dumbest questions ever asked in the history of network television.

Diane Sawyer was chatting up James Carville, the irascible Clinton loyalist, about the West Virginia Democrat primary. She turned to Mr. Carville and, with a glint in her eye, asked something that almost caused him to fall flat out of his cushy 'Good Morning America' chair. At least I know I certainly would have keeled over had I been asked the same thing.

Referring to the much-reported exit polling in West Virginia that suggested that one out of five Clinton voters said that race was definitely a factor in their decision, Ms. Sawyer, who makes approximately 12 million dollars a year to ask questions on ABC-TV, said the following: "...should Sen. Clinton say she is rejecting the votes of anyone who votes based in any way on color of skin?"

I swear to you that Carville looked at her as if she had just suggested that a tiny alien creature was living in her left high-heeled shoe.

I'm glad that in the middle of his rambling, stumbling answer to possibly the goofiest question he's ever received, he managed to sheepishly point out that there were "probably a few black voters who have voted for Sen. Obama because of race as well."

A "few"? A FEW???

Surely Carville has seen the same data we all have regarding the racial component of Democrats who have cast votes for Obama and Sen. Clinton. And a die-hard liberal Dem like James Carville isn't about to admit on national TV what has turned into the not-so-secret secret of this Democrat primary season: black Democrats are overwhelmingly voting for the black candidate.

The story has been revealed state after state: 92% of the black vote in Mississippi for Obama; 91% of the black vote in Wisconsin for him; 84% of blacks went for Obama in Maryland; 87% in Ohio; and on and on.

Meanwhile, Mrs. Clinton captured 55% of the white vote in Texas; 64% of white voters in Ohio; and 66% in New Jersey, just to name a few. So while Sen. Clinton has garnered a fairly even percentage of white and black voters, blacks are simply voting in overwhelming percentages for Sen. Obama.

In a contest between two Democrat candidates with nearly indistinguishable policies, this is astoundingly alarming.

If Diane Sawyer wasn't so hell-bent on trying to make the case that white West Virginia voters were a bunch of bigots, she might have asked the exact same question of Sen. Obama and his supporters. The only problem with that scenario is that if Obama had to reject voters who selected him based "in any way" on race, he wouldn't have anyone left.

The mainstream media can't seem to ever cover the issue of race fairly. To realize that dopes like Diane Sawyer think they have a "gotcha" moment by referring to one out of five white voters in one small state while ignoring the giant elephant in the room of nearly 100% of blacks voting for Barack Obama everywhere else is preposterous.

It would be nice to believe that black Democrats all believe that Sen. Obama is truly the best person for the job. But if that were true, what would the media be saying if white voters were voting for Mrs. Clinton with such giant percentages? The answer is easy: the press would be denouncing a racist white America, a hate-filled electorate of despicable bigots who would dare to vote for someone solely on the color of their skin.

If I announced on my radio show that the only reason I'm voting for John McCain is because he's a white man, I can't imagine I'd have much of a career remaining. Unless my career included appearing at conventions of skinheads and Ku Klux Klansmen.

But once again, biased blacks get a pass. Very few people have the intestinal fortitude to admit that it's a crying shame that so many voters are blindly supporting someone for president because of his skin color. It would be the ultimate act of political incorrectness to point this out. Instead, whites in West Virginia -- and elsewhere -- are demonized as non-educated, racist morons.

It's easy to blame white Americans for just about every single racial conflict in America. But in doing so, we're not making much progress in terms of race relations.

Show me black Democrats who will vote for a candidate based on real qualifications and we'll be getting somewhere.

Wild Thing's comment.......

LOL this is so stupid what Sawyer said it had me laughing. Does she even think before she talks? Ifi nothing else this is a good example of how the mind of the left works.....it doesn't.

B.Hussein Obama Has His Own "Sniper Tale"

Obama Claims No One Clapped During Detroit, MI Speech

In a speech on May 4, 2008, Obama claims nobody clapped during his 2007 speech in which he called for higher fuel efficiency standards in Detroit. In fact, the crowd clapped repeatedly and gave Obama a standing ovation.

Obama's sniper tale? When he stood up to Detroit's 'cold' shoulder

Is this another Bosnian sniper incident, where a Democratic candidate for president describes a scene involving some personal courage, but later videotape shows that maybe perhaps it wasn't really quite all like that exactly?

Sen. Barack Obama, the leading Democratic candidate for his party's nomination, is very fond of telling receptive audiences the story about how last May he walked right into the automotive lion's den of Detroit and told those industrialists they were going to have to shape up, change the way they do things and start making more fuel-efficient vehicles to protect our environment.

"And I have to say," the straight-talking Obama tells his chuckling followers, "that when I delivered that speech, the room got really quiet. [Laughter] Nobody clapped."

Well, in honor of Obama's return campaign visit back to Michigan this week, someone -- perhaps Republicans, perhaps someone closer to home politically -- assembled videotape of Obama's oft-told tale and spliced it side by side with videotape of that actual Detroit speech.

You'll never guess what. The room wasn't quiet at all. Obama, in fact, got a loud round of applause. And at the end of his address the camera's view of him at the podium is partially blocked because the audience of local businesspeople and automotive executives was rising to give him a standing ovation.

There were no departure ceremonies after the speech because of sniper reports. Far too dangerous for that. It was all he could do then to duck his head and just run for the vehicles. See for yourself below.

Wild Thing's comment........

More fun along the election train of maddness. hahaha

I honestly think telling a lie must come with the first breath a democrat takes when they are born.

Obama's Intro For Edwards ~ So Much For Presidential

Note at the time on the video at 1:40............ that is where he starts to introduce Edwards and you can hear what I noticed last night while watching this on TV.

Obama and John Edwards at a rally in Grand Rapids, Mich

"Please give it up for my friend John Edwards”

So what will we have to expect if B. Hussein Obama wins? It is just something that when he said it last night introducing John Edwards, it stuck out like a sore thumb. I have heard it used a lot. Especially during things like the Music awards shows etc. Sometimes on late night TV talk shows, Leno etc. But never by any of our politicians in office and never by a President. LOL

Future White House Intros...

“Let’s give it up for Secretary of State...”
“Let’s give it up for Prime Minister....”

ECO McCain Goes Green ~ Gore Must Be Proud

McCain's frontpage at his Presidential run website.

I clicked on the little GREEN box and this is the page that came up.

His Climate Change page LINK HERE

At that page, McCain has a petition ( it would not all fit in the graphic above at my blog) where you can sign saying that you trust McCain to" protect our enviroment by using effectice market based solutions. "

OK now if you click on McCain's Online Store .....and then notice among the list of things you can buy it says......"GO GREEN".

LOL ok I clicked on Go Green and well here you go, McCain has this.............

At his GO Green page you can oder shirts, hats etc. for GO Green with MCcain.

One of the problems is that he is ignoring the very large numbers of scientists who are arguably more credible that hold a considerably more conservative view.

Rush spoke about McCain's going green yesterday and he was excellent:
Transcript snipets:

"When it comes to global warming and the 'fixes' for this hoax, our goose is cooked. It doesn't matter who you vote for president; we're going to get a liberal Democrat approach to fixing something that doesn't exist. It's just going to add up to more taxes."

"Senator McCain is sounding more and more like he's trying to position himself as a vice presidential candidate for Obama rather than as a Republican presidential candidate."

"I'm really conflicted here. I have not faced a situation where a major Republican presidential candidate sounds just like a liberal Democrat, and I know of no other thing to do than to tell you the truth: This is embarrassing, and it is frightening."

"I don't care whether you look at Obama or McCain; you are looking at people who want to recreate policies of the past under new names. But those of us who still proudly call ourselves Reagan conservatives are the ones looking forward."

"Now, back to McCain. I... I don't know. You people at the GOP and the RNC -- do you have any idea what you've done here? Do you have the slightest idea what you've done here?"

"Well, one thing I do know is that I'm 57 years old, and every winter that I've been alive, it's been cold. And every summer I have sweated myself silly outside in high humidity and high temperatures."

"President Bush is going to go to Saudi Arabia this week to ask King Abdullah to increase oil production. I want you to think about something before we come back: What's wrong with that? Because there's something really wrong with it."

"Oh, I see now. We're going to get our reputation restored by becoming just like those little pansy countries who couldn't defend themselves if their lives depended on it -- that's how we're going to get our respect back."

"An SUV hog hybrid is fine and dandy with me. We have one here! There's nothing chintzy about it -- you know, nothing white-wine-and-brie about this thing."

"'He doesn't really mean this, Rush.' I can't take that chance! I've never heard McCain so enthused! He was more passionate in this speech than I've heard him in years about anything -- other than maybe amnesty for illegal aliens."

"It's outrageous that we have American leaders willing to facilitate an attack on capitalism via this global warming hoax, who then have the audacity to say that what we're going to be doing is somehow related to 'free markets'."

Wild Thing's comment........

Once McCain clinched the nomination, he had roughly nine months to earn conservative votes. Three months have passed...and he's actually moved further to the left, seemingly turning his back on the party's base. What a mess!

Pray for our country, and like Tom has said.....buy ammo! Now is the time to get ready for whatever we might have happen no matter who wins this thing.

O ( hamas) bama

Obama on Zionism and Hamas

The Atlantic.com .....for entire article

Jeffrey Goldberg

The Hamas leader Ahmed Yousef did Barack Obama no favor recently when he said: “We like Mr. Obama and we hope that he will win the election.” John McCain jumped on this statement, calling it a “legitimate point of discussion,” and tied it to Obama’s putative softness on Iran, whose ever-charming president last week called Israel a “stinking corpse” and predicted its “annihilation.”

Jeffrey Goldberg and an interview with Obama on Israel:

(these are snipets from the interview)

JG: You’ve talked about the role of Jews in the development of your thinking.

BO: One of the things that is frustrating about the recent conversations on Israel is the loss of what I think is the natural affinity between the African-American community and the Jewish community, one that was deeply understood by Jewish and black leaders in the early civil-rights movement but has been estranged for a whole host of reasons that you and I don’t need to elaborate.

JG: Do you think that Israel is a drag on America’s reputation overseas?

BO: No, no, no. But what I think is that this constant wound, that this constant sore, does infect all of our foreign policy. The lack of a resolution to this problem provides an excuse for anti-American militant jihadists to engage in inexcusable actions, and so we have a national-security interest in solving this, and I also believe that Israel has a security interest in solving this because I believe that the status quo is unsustainable.

Wild Thing's comment........

Obama and his mad wife hmmmm ....let's see can't you just see them traveling to Israel and his wife telling how down trodden she has been in America and how she understands how the PLO feel.

McCain Planning Climate Change Tour

McCain planning climate change tour

Examiner.com Seattle from Drudge

"We've gotten our hands on an advanced transcript of this weekend's "The Chris Matthews Show" on NBC and the British Broadcasting Corporation's Katty Kay offered this nugget during the show's "Tell Me Something I Don't Know" segment:
"John McCain is going to be doing more of these themed tours of America, and one of them is going to be on energy and global climate change. It could get him into trouble with Republicans, of course, and with the base, who don't think there is much climate change going on, but it is something that he's very passionate about and he's going to be talking about it."

And this from last weeks O'Reilly show:

Fox

O'REILLY: You voted against ANWR drilling. You voted against ANWR.

MCCAIN: Yes, and I'll vote against drilling if they want to drill in the Grand Canyon, and I'll vote against it if they want to drill in the Everglades. And I will try to make it more attractive for Florida and California and other states to have drilling off of their coasts, but I'm not going to force them to because...

O'REILLY: But no one lives in ANWR.

MCCAIN: No, it's pristine beauty.

O'REILLY: So what? Who sees it?

MCCAIN: Well, all I do is believe that we have to preserve some of the great natural treasures of this earth...

O'REILLY: In the Arctic Circle?

MCCAIN: ...no matter where they are, my friend. And I...

O'REILLY: You know, a lot of people aren't going to like that.

MCCAIN: I know a lot of people don't like it, but I am also an environmentalist.

Wild Thing's comment........

A climate change tour.....Oh mty gosh!

I never saw anything like it how McCain could care less about the conservatives vote.

Not only that, but he is saying he believes the lies from Gore and his ilk. That is SCARY that he is so unable to tell the difference. No alarm going off inside his head when he is presented with BS vs. something that is true and actually happening.

A Special Lapel Pin For B. Hussein Obama

Here is the new pin replete with all 57 stars:
from Suitably Flip blog

Patriotic Barack Obama lapel pins unveiled honoring all 57 states

Yesterday The Ticket broke the stunning news of America's acquisition of seven, maybe eight, new states, according to future president Barack Obama.

Besides trying to noodle out what the new states are, some clever campaign folks over at the phenomenal Suitably Flip blog got to thinking right away.

And they've now unveiled a new patriotic lapel pin that anyone can wear with pride even, say, a Harvard-educated senator from Illinois who's been trying to make a point about opposing a war before it even started.

Let's all give a warm, manifestly destined welcome to what I assume are our 7 newest states:

51. Puerto Rico
52. Guam
53. Northern Mariana
54. American Samoa
55. St. Croix
56. St. Thomas
57. St. John

I guess we should've seen this coming when Obama was reported to be meeting unofficially with the Governor of the U.S. Virgin Islands when he took his family on "vacation" to St. Thomas.

Wild Thing's comment........

I have to wonder if what Obama was thinking of might even have been this.......

ICCI to set up firms in 57 states
Islamic Chamber of Commerce and Industry (ICCI)

LAHORE, March 7: Foras Investment Company, a subsidiary of the Islamic Chamber of Commerce and Industry (ICCI) is planning to set up 200 companies in 57 member countries of the OIC over a period of five years.

"Under a ten-year Muslim Ummah Development Plan, Islamic chamber has set up Foras (the Arabic word for opportunity) to accelerate the process of economic development across the Muslim Ummah," said Chief Executive Officer of Foras Investment Company Hatim Jamil Mukhtar while giving a briefing to a select-gathering of businessmen at the FPCCI zonal office here on Wednesday.

Mr Hatim said that Foras created with a paid-up capital of $100m, would set up five sub-holding companies with headquarters in Karachi, Kuala Lumpur, Istanbul, Cairo and Dakkar (Senegal) to expedite the process of company formation in all the 57 countries of the Muslim world.

Foras chief said that the paid-up capital of the company would soon be raised to $200 million from the present level of $100 million, hoping that the seed money provided by the Islamic chamber would help accelerate the process of investment all over the Islamic world.

He said that the company had started work on the preparation of investment road map for 10 Muslim countries, including Pakistan. Mr Hatim said that the steps being taken by the ICCI and Foras would lead to the formation of economic consortium of the Islamic world.

He said that the companies were set up for the promotion of diverse fields ranging from bio-technology to information technology and infrastructure.—APP

CLOSE-in supporters of Sen. Barack Obama's presi dential campaign are convinced he never will offer the vice-presidential nomination to Sen. Hillary Clinton for one overriding reason: Michelle Obama.
Obama's wife didn't comment on other rival candidates, but she has been sniping at Clinton since last summer.

Obama sources say those public utterances don't reveal the extent of her hostility.

I guess that’s that. LOL The Michelle has spoken! Is she going to Veto the bills too?

Obama On Obama

Sources:

Examiner. Seattle.com

Examiner Seattle.com

Quote from Barack Obama’s book, Dreams Of My Father:
“THE PERSON WHO MADE ME PROUDEST OF ALL, THOUGH, WAS MY [half brother], ROY..HE CONVERTED TO ISLAM”.

From ‘Dreams of my Father’, “IN INDONESIA, I SPEND TWO YEARS AT A MUSLIM SCHOOL” “..I STUDIED THE KORAN..”

From ‘Audacity of Hope: “LOLO (Obama’s step father) FOLLOWED ISLAM....”I LOOKED TO LOLO FOR GUIDANCE”.

From ‘The Audacity Of Hope, “I WILL STAND WITH THE MUSLIMS SHOULD THE POLITICAL WINDS OF WAR SHIFT IN AN UGLY DIRECTION..”

From The Audacity Of Hope, “WE ARE NO LONGER JUST A CHRISTIAN NATION, we are also a Jewish nation, a MUSLIM NATION, a Buddhist nation, a Hindu nation, and a nation of nonbelievers.”

HATRED OF WHITES:
From Dreams of My Father, “ I FOUND A SOLACE IN NURSING A PERVASIVE SENSE OF GRIEVANCE AND ANIMOSITY AGAINST MY MOTHER’S RACE”. Barack Hussein Obama

From ‘Dreams of my Father’, “The emotion between the races could never be pure, even love was tarnished by the desire to find in the other some element that was missing in ourselves. Whether we sought out our demons or salvation, the other race (WHITE) would always remain just that: menacing, alien, and apart.” Barack Hussein Obama

From Dreams Of My Father: “That hate hadn’t gone away,” he wrote, BLAMING “WHITE PEOPLE — some CRUEL, some IGNORANT, sometimes a single face, sometimes just a faceless image of a system claiming power over our lives.” Barack Hussein Obama

From ‘Dreams Of My Father’, “There were enough of us on campus to constitute a tribe, and when it came to hanging out many of us chose to function like a tribe, staying close together, traveling in packs,” he wrote. “It remained necessary to prove which side you were on,to show your LOYALTY TO THE BLACK MASSES, TO STRIKE OUT and name names” Barack Hussein Obama

Obama — whose father, stepfather, brother and grandfather were Muslims — explained his own first name, Barack, in “Dreams”: “It means ‘Blessed.’ In Arabic. My grandfather was a Muslim.”

Obama’s grandfather, Hussein Onyango Obama, for whom the senator was given his middle name, Hussein, was fiercely devoted to Islam, according to an account in “Dreams.

Later in life, however, he was drawn to the writings of an influential American Muslim who served as the spokesman for the militant Nation of Islam.

“Malcolm X’s autobiography seemed to offer something different,” Obama wrote. “His repeated acts of self-creation spoke to me; the blunt poetry of his words, his unadorned insistence on respect, promised a new and uncompromising order, martial in its discipline, forged through sheer force of will.”

Obama’s family connections to Islam would endure, however. For example, his brother Roy opted for Islam over Christianity, as Obama recounted when describing his 1992 wedding.

“The person who made me proudest of all,” Obama wrote, “was Roy. Actually, now we call him Abongo, his Luo name, for two years ago he decided to reassert his African heritage. He converted to Islam, and has sworn off pork and tobacco and alcohol.”

Obama calls the Iraq war “a botched and ill-advised U.S. military incursion into a Muslim country.” He is also protective of civil rights for Muslims in the U.S.

“In the wake of 9/11, my meetings with Arab and Pakistani Americans … have a more urgent quality, for the stories of detentions and FBI questioning and hard stares from neighbors have shaken their sense of security and belonging,” he laments. “I will stand with them should the political winds shift in an ugly direction.”

After graduating from college, Obama eventually went to Chicago to interview for a job as a community organizer. His racial attitudes came into play as he sized up the man who would become his boss.
“There was something about him that made me wary,” Obama wrote. “A little too sure of himself, maybe. And white.”

Wild Thing's comment........

In all honesty I truly don't understand how a man like this gets elected in my wonderful America. Not only his run for President but also his being a Senator. We can add into this Keith Ellison and the other Muslims that have been elected to government offices as well.

His anger of whites runs deep. It is not going to disappear just because he might take the oath as President.

Is Barack Hussein Obama a Muslim? Will he one day return to his Muslim upbringing? His core of who he is was established in the cult of Islam not in the Christian church or any other NON Muslim faith. How often have we heard as I got older I returned to the faith or belief I had as a child. And Obama did not become a Christian till he was in his 20's.

Islam is a strong pull to low self esteem people like Obama with his hang up about not being all white or all black. It matters NOT to me what skin color a person is but from all of Obama's writings it is predominate in his thinking and outlook. It teaches hate of non Muslims, hate for Jews and Christians the people of the Book as they call the Bible. Hate has been known as a driving force to low self esteem individuals to give them a sense of belonging. I would bet that is why joining up with Islam is so popular in prisons.

Islam is not just a faith or a religion, it is a cult and all encompassing. It is a LAW and a law above any law of the land a person dwells within. People are executed that leave Islam, children are murdered that date non Muslims or try to marry a non Muslim. I will end my comment with a story that just happened recently. My prayer is that we do not see this Obama elected.

Fathers killing their own daughters ......................

'My daughter deserved to die for falling in love'
Observer

17-year-old student Rand Abdel-Qader was beaten to death by her father after becoming infatuated with a British soldier in Basra. In this remarkable interview, Abdel-Qader Ali explains why he is unrepentant - and how police backed his actions.
For Abdel-Qader Ali there is only one regret: that he did not kill his daughter at birth. 'If I had realised then what she would become, I would have killed her the instant her mother delivered her,' he said with no trace of remorse.

Rand Abdel-Qader, 17, murdered because of her infatuation with a British solider in Basra, southern Iraq, her father is defiant. Sitting in the front garden of his well-kept home in the city's Al-Fursi district, he remains a free man, despite having stamped on, suffocated and then stabbed his student daughter to death.

Abdel-Qader, 46, a government employee, was initially arrested but released after two hours. Astonishingly, he said, police congratulated him on what he had done. 'They are men and know what honour is,' he said.

Rand, who was studying English at Basra University, was deemed to have brought shame on her family after becoming infatuated with a British soldier, 22, known only as Paul.

She died on 16 March after her father discovered she had been seen in public talking to Paul, considered to be the enemy, the invader and a Christian. Though her horrified mother, Leila Hussein, called Rand's two brothers, Hassan, 23, and Haydar, 21, to restrain Abdel-Qader as he choked her with his foot on her throat, they joined in. Her shrouded corpse was then tossed into a makeshift grave without ceremony as her uncles spat on it in disgust.

'Death was the least she deserved,' said Abdel-Qader. 'I don't regret it. I had the support of all my friends who are fathers, like me, and know what she did was unacceptable to any Muslim that honours his religion,' he said.

B.Hussein Obama On National Anthem

Obama Explains National Anthem Stance

'LTG Bill Ginn' USAF ret forwarded:

Hot on the heels of his explanation for why he no longer wears a flag pin,
presidential candidate Senator Barack Obama was forced to explain why he
doesn't follow protocol when the National Anthem is played.

According to the United States Code, Title 36, Chapter 10, Sec. 171,
During rendition of the national anthem when the flag is displayed, all present
except those in uniform are expected to stand at attention facing the flag
with the right hand over the heart.

'As I've said about the flag pin, I don't want to be perceived as taking
sides,' Obama said. 'There are a lot of people in the world to whom the
American flag is a symbol of oppression. And the anthem itself conveys a
war-like message. You know, the bombs bursting in air and all.
It should be swapped for something less parochial and less bellicose.
I like the song 'I'd Like to Teach the World to Sing.' If that were our anthem,
then I might salute it.'

Also this by B. Hussein Obama:

"You know, the truth is that right after 9/11, I had a pin. Shortly after 9/11, particularly because as we're talking about the Iraq War, that became a substitute for I think true patriotism, which is speaking out on issues that are of importance to our national security, I decided I won't wear that pin on my chest. Instead, I'm going to try to tell the American people what I believe will make this country great, and hopefully that will be a testimony to my patriotism."

B.for BUFFOON Hussein Obama Wants 57 States

At a campaign event in Beaverton, OR, Obama claimed to have visited 57 U.S. States during the campaign. Wacth VIDEO. LMAO Oh my GAWD!

Stupid Omaba's quote from the video: Quote:

"It is wonderful to be back in Oregon," Obama said. "Over the last 15 months, we’ve traveled to every corner of the United States. I’ve now been in 57 states? I think one left to go. Alaska and Hawaii, I was not allowed to go to even though I really wanted to visit, but my staff would not justify it."

Here are some snipets from it.......
LA Times

Barack Obama wants to be president of these 57 United States

In his prepared remarks Obama was ready to start blasting Arizona Sen. John McCain, the presumptive Republican nominee, to show the Illinois Democrat is moving on to the general election campaign.

But first the freshman senator had to go through all the....

...obligatory delighted to see you, delighted to be here part of stump speeches that also require that you actually know where you are.

Obama pulled that off O.K. But then he drifted away from the text a tad,

"It is wonderful to be back in Oregon," Obama said. "Over the last 15 months, we’ve traveled to every corner of the United States. I’ve now been in 57 states? I think one left to go. Alaska and Hawaii, I was not allowed to go to even though I really wanted to visit, but my staff would not justify it."

The Times' conscientious Robin Abcarian thought she heard something different there. She checked her tape recorder. It had captured what he had actually said -- 57 states now. A new Louisiana Purchase that's gone unannounced so far? Was he channeling his inner John Kerry-Heinz 57 personality?

(UPDATE:fromLA Times article: ) At a later stop Obama was talking with reporters and expressed concern he'd also mis-stated the number of potential cyclone victims in Burma. He said, ""I hope I said 100,000 people the first time instead of 100 million. I understand I said there were 57 states today. It's a sign that my numeracy is getting a little, uh." At that point, an aide cut him off and ushered journalists out. Before he could mis-speak again?)

Oh, and as far as Hawaii voters are concerned, they're probably delighted to learn that Obama's campaign staff doesn't think that tiny state can justify an appearance by his eminence, even though he did a lot of growing up there. Or maybe because he was there.

Wild Thing's comment........

57 States gives Michelle Obama more real estate to not feel proud of.

Obama's list of added States.........Iran 51........... Venezuela 52.............. Cuba 53................ N. Korea 54.......... Syria 55............ Palestine 56................ Mexico 57.

So like is this the CHANGE Obama is wanting? This man shouldn’t be allowed to work as a White House gardener, much less be president.

Obama Sacks His ME Policy Adviser For Doing What BHO Said He Would Do As President

Barack Obama sacks adviser over talks with Hamas

Times Online

One of Barack Obama’s Middle East policy advisers disclosed yesterday that he had held meetings with the militant Palestinian group Hamas – prompting the likely Democratic nominee to sever all links with him.

Robert Malley told The Times that he had been in regular contact with Hamas, which controls Gaza and is listed by the US State Department as a terrorist organisation. Such talks, he stressed, were related to his work for a conflict resolution think-tank and had no connection with his position on Mr Obama’s Middle East advisory council.

“I’ve never hidden the fact that in my job with the International Crisis Group I meet all kinds of people,” he added.

Ben LaBolt, a spokesman for Mr Obama, responded swiftly: “Rob Malley has, like hundreds of other experts, provided informal advice to the campaign in the past. He has no formal role in the campaign and he will not play any role in the future.” The rapid departure of Mr Malley followed 48 hours of heated clashes between John McCain, the Republican nominee-elect, and Mr Obama over Middle East policy.

MORE from CAMERA ( Committee for Accuracy in Middle East Reporting in America ) HERE on Rob Malley...........

"While Robert Malley’s past history might seem typical for a bright young man pursuing a senior Middle East policy position in a future Democratic administration, digging a little deeper reveals something quite untypical in his past. Robert Malley grew up in France, where his Egyptian-born father, Simon Malley, and New York raised mother, Barbara (Silverstein) Malley, were radical publishers of a controversial magazine about Africa and the so-called Third World. Malley’s parents were rabidly anti-Israel and counted Yasir Arafat as a personal friend. Indeed, Arafat was among those “leaders” (for want of a better word) who intervened with the French government to readmit the Malley family to France after they had been expelled for their radical activities.
That is, while in the Clinton administration Malley dealt directly with Palestinian matters, and with Yasir Arafat himself, despite having a huge and hidden conflict of interest: close ties between his family and Yasir Arafat.

Well, hidden from the public – when questioned about it in 2001, Dennis Ross, Clinton’s senior Middle East adviser, said that the Clinton administration knew all about Malley’s past.

While CAMERA did not publish all the facts at the time, we did mention the ties between Malley and Arafat in an article in 2005.

But now, with Malley a Middle East advisor to a major presidential candidate, it seems the full story should be exposed. I will try to minimize repetition of what others have recently published on this subject, while still laying out the facts in a coherent way."

Wild Thing's comment.......

Obama knew all along, but sacked him only when he was caught.

Obama is contradicting himself when he fires a guy for meeting with Hamas yet says he will sit down with Iran!!! Who is he kidding!!!! Obama is a friend of the Nation of Islam. The list of American hating traitors that obamama associates with is is long. No oway should B. Hussein ever see the inside of the Oval Office!

Thr UnAmerican Democrat Party are killing us, literally. There are more reds and islamofascists under Obama’s tent. It is just a matter of time before they are exposed.

This was a post about him I did on January 29th of this year. It tells more about him and also his connection to Soros. Being that Obama is bought and paid for by Soros it is just another reason why they are all connected.

Democrat Vote For Sale $20 Million Askng Price

Hillary, Barack, want my vote? Just $20 million, please

LOS ANGELES (AP)

What will it take for a Democratic presidential candidate to win the support of California superdelegate Steven Ybarra?

Say, $20 million.

The Democratic National Committee member doesn't parse his words when it comes to what he wants from Barack Obama or Hillary Rodham Clinton - an ironclad promise to spend that heady amount to register Mexican-American voters and get them to the polls in November.

In a telephone interview Wednesday, he said he plans to remain undecided in the tight contest until "someone shows me the money."

When will he settle on a candidate?

"Nobody showed me any money yet," he said.

He's not kidding. To Ybarra, a Sacramento lawyer, the stakes are no less than winning the presidency in November.

He predicted that as many as 1.3 million Mexican-Americans could be added to voter rolls in New Mexico, Colorado, Florida and other swing states, a potentially decisive edge for the eventual Democratic nominee.

With that investment of funds, Mexican-Americans would realize Democratic leaders "care about us," Ybarra said, referring to Mexican-Americans.

Is $20 million a lot to ask?

In 2004, "they spent a billion to lose," he said.

Wild Thing's comment........

Voter fraud in full view! Welcome to the left-wing auction house. The Democrats return to their roots of bribes for votes.

"He predicted that as many as 1.3 million Mexican-Americans could be added to voter rolls in New Mexico, Colorado, Florida and other swing states."

How many would be ILLEGALS who will be voting?? 1.29 Million??

B.Hussein Obama On After the Campaign

Video of Barack explaining how he is going to change the country through the work of his campaign once he gets into the White House:
Just a note, in case he does win, I suggest if you have not been to the White House website to take a look at it. Because B.Hussein Obama also mentions in this video how he plans on making changes with that as well.

He is also telling more lies, because there are places at the site now that do tell of things going on

Also one of my favorite parts of the White House website is if you look at the bottom of the page and click on KIDS, it is so adorable how they have things there for children.

Michelle Obama:"I want to rip (Bill Clinton's) eyes out. Kidding!"

'I want to rip (Bill Clinton's) eyes out. Kidding!'
Michelle Obama's latest gaffe: 'See, this is what gets me into trouble'

May 6, 2008

Michelle Obama, wife of presidential candidate Barack Obama, known for saying what's on her mind – candidly, spontaneously and frequently – has exposed this trait yet again in a profile in the London Guardian.

Asked how she feels about Bill Clinton's use of the phrase "fairytale" to describe her husband's characterization of his position on the Iraq war, she first responded: "No."

But, after a few seconds of contemplation, and gesturing with her fingernails, she told the reporter: "I want to rip his eyes out!"

Noticing an aide giving her a nervous look, she added: "Kidding! See, this is what gets me into trouble."

It was the latest of a series of gaffes by the potential first lady – the first of which set off a chain of events that led to her husband's fall from grace as the clear front-runner in the Democratic presidential primary campaign.

In February, Obama set off a national firestorm with comments she made at a Milwaukee rally: "What we have learned over the past year is that hope is making a comeback. And let me tell you something – for the first time in my adult lifetime, I am really proud of my country. And not just because Barack has done well, but because I think people are hungry for change. And I have been desperate to see our country moving in that direction and just not feeling so alone in my frustration and disappointment."

Many commentators were offended by the idea that a successful woman of privilege would say she had never been proud of her country until her husband's presidential campaign.

That remark was followed up with reports of a stump speech she delivered throughout South Carolina in which she characterized America as "just downright mean."

She said the country is divided, life is not good, the people are "guided by fear" and cynicism.

"We have become a nation of struggling folks who are barely making it every day," she told churchgoers in that primary state. "Folks are just jammed up, and it's gotten worse over my lifetime."

It may have been Michelle Obama's off-the-cuff and seemingly unpatriotic remarks that led to further examination of the sermons of the couple's pastor of 20 years, Jeremiah Wright. Reports on Wright's explosively controversial views prompted a public break between the candidate and his spiritual mentor and new questions about the viability of Obama as a presidential candidate and potential leader of the country.

Split Decision :Obama Camp Credits ‘Operation Chaos’ for Clinton Lead in Indiana

Obama: Limbaugh to Blame for Clinton Indiana Lead

Obama Camp Credits ‘Operation Chaos’ for Clinton Lead in Indiana

Barack Obama’s campaign issued an e-mail on Tuesday night that appeared to relegate Hillary Clinton’s lead in Indiana to efforts by Rush Limbaugh to wreak havoc in the Democratic presidential primary contest.

In an e-mail entitled “The Limbaugh Effect in Indiana = 7 percent,” Obama campaign spokesman Bill Burton wrote: “According to the latest exit polling data, 17 percent of voters in the Indiana primary today said they would vote for John McCain in a Clinton/McCain match-up. Forty-one percent of that number is constituted by people who voted Clinton in the primary but also indicated they will vote for McCain in the general election. That comes out to just under 7 percent of the primary electorate the number that may be attributed to a Limbaugh Effect.”

“The Limbaugh Effect” referred to “Operation Chaos,” which the conservative radio talk show host launched early in the primary season to create “balance” in the 2008 primary contest after he said liberal influences helped John McCain emerge as the presumptive Republican presidential nominee.

Limbaugh has said his scheme to tilt the Democratic primary exceeded his expectations.

“I see the Obama campaign is saying Operation Chaos accounted for a 7-point bump for Hillary in Indiana. I think they are just jealous that I out-organized them,” Limbaugh told FOX News Tuesday night. “I am extremely proud of Operation Chaos volunteers. I never doubted they would triumph and it is a delight to see.”

Clinton was leading in Indiana by 4 percentage points with a few counties outstanding. Speaking from North Carolina Tuesday night, Obama credited Clinton for “what appears to be her victory in the state of Indiana.”

The impact of “Operation Chaos” is difficult to measure. Indiana holds an open primary, and according to FOX News exit polls, 11 percent of voters in the Democratic contest were Republicans. Fifty-three percent of them said they chose Clinton, while 47 percent voted for Obama.

Twenty-three percent of Indiana voters called themselves independents or non-affiliated, and 47 percent said they supported Clinton compared to 53 percent for Obama. Democrats made up 66 percent of voters, and 53 percent voted for Clinton compared to 47 percent for Obama, the exit poll respondents said.

The exit polls showed that in a hypothetical Clinton-McCain matchup, 73 percent of those who voted in the Democratic race said they’d vote for Clinton, compared to 69 percent who said they would choose Obama if he is McCain’s opponent.

However, of the 19 percent of voters who said they would choose McCain against Obama if that were the general election matchup, only 12 percent voted for Obama in the primary.

And this from :
McClatchy Newspapers

INDIANAPOLIS

Many black voters are making it very clear: They're concerned that Barack Obama is going to be denied the Democratic presidential nomination that they see as rightfully his, and if that happens, a lot of them may stay home in November.

"It would hurt me not to vote," said Charles Clark, an Indianapolis retiree. He's thinking about leaving the presidential box on his ballot blank this fall if Hillary Clinton is the Democrats' nominee.

"There was a heck of a push made so blacks could vote. I know that," he said. "But it would also be very unfair if they pushed Barack Obama to the side."

Michelle Moore, an Indianapolis housewife, is less gentle: "Hillary Clinton would not even still be in the race if Obama was a white man," she said.

Hunter Bacot, an associate professor of political science at Elon University in North Carolina, saw another piece of political history haunting black Obama backers.

"There's a sentiment among blacks that they've been taken for granted by the Democratic Party," Bacot said. "If Obama loses, it's as though their candidate's victory was overturned."

Wild Thing's comment........

WOW for a grown man ( questionable on the MAN part of my statement since he is such a wuss! ) Obama sure is a HUGE whinner, cry baby! You won NC and Hillary won IN, now move on there is nothing else for you to whine about till the next compalint you and your bad attitude wife can come up with.

Now it's Oregon's turn. With the Indiana and North Carolina primaries concluding, presidential hopefuls B. Hussein Obama and Hillary Clinton will turn much their attention toward Oregon.

McCain Loyal To America or Aztlan

Statement by John McCain on Cinco de Mayo and Announcement of New Spanish Website

McCain ENGLISH speaking website

ARLINGTON, VA -- U.S. Senator John McCain today issued the following statement on Cinco de Mayo as his campaign announced several new Spanish efforts:

"Cinco de Mayo commemorates an important moment in the history of Mexico's path to freedom. On this day in 1862, a small group of Mexican troops overcame overwhelming force to win the Battle of Puebla. Today, we join together to remember the sacrifice that these Mexican patriots endured, as well as the struggles of all those around the world striving for freedom. We recognize as well the important friendship that exists between our country and Mexico, and celebrate the many contributions Mexican-Americans have made to our society, culture, security and economy."

The Cinco de Mayo statement can now also be found on the Spanish section of the official campaign website at http://espanol.johnmccain.com, which the campaign launched today. This part of the website will feature regular updates in Spanish throughout the election.

Finally, as part of his commitment to talking with all Americans during this presidential campaign, the McCain presidential campaign announced that John McCain will attend the La Raza Annual Convention in San Diego on July 14, 2008.

McCain's spanish speaking website

AZTLAN website = http://www.aztlan.net/

And this list from Michelle Malkin's blog:

Top 10 reasons McCain should repudiate the National Council of La Raza

10. La Raza supports driver’s licenses for illegal aliens.

9. La Raza supports in-state tuition discounts for illegal alien students that are not available to law-abiding US citizens and law-abiding legal immigrants.

8. La Raza opposes cooperative immigration enforcement efforts between local, state, and federal authorities.

7. La Raza sponsors militant ethnic nationalist charter schools subsidized by your public tax dollars, including the “Aztlan Academy” in Tucson, AZ, the Mexicayotl Academy in Nogales, AZ, and Academia Cesar Chavez Charter School in St. Paul, Minn.

6. La Raza gives mainstream cover to a poisonous subset of ideological satellites, led by Movimiento Estudiantil Chicano de Aztlan, or Chicano Student Movement of Aztlan (MEChA), which the late GOP Rep. Charlie Norwood rightly characterized as “a radical racist group…[and] one of the most anti-American groups in the country, which has permeated U.S. campuses since the 1960s, and continues its push to carve a racist nation out of the American West.”

5. La Raza opposes a secure fence on the southern border.

4. Former La Raza president Raul Yzaguirre, Hillary Clinton’s Hispanic outreach advisor said this:

"US English is to Hispanics as the Ku Klux Klan is to blacks.” He was referring to US English the nation’s oldest, largest citizens’ action group dedicated to preserving the unifying role of the English language in the United States."

La Raza also pioneered Orwellian open-borders Newspeak and advised the Mexican government on how to lobby for illegal alien amnesty while avoiding the terms “illegal” and “amnesty.”

3. La Raza is currently leading a smear campaign against staunch immigration enforcement leaders and has called for TV and cable TV networks to keep immigration enforcement proponents off the airwaves–in addition to pushing for Fairness Doctrine policies to shut up their foes.

2. La Raza has consistently opposed post-9/11 national security measures at every turn.

1. The National Council of La Raza means The National Council of “The Race,” for God’s sake.

Their signature slogan, chanted at pro-illegal alien rallies from coast to coast, is “La raza unida nunca sera vencida.”

“A united [Hispanic] race will never be defeated.”

Wild Thing's comment........

La Raza, by definition, is a racist organization. don’t understand why he is even DOING this. Why is he pandering to non-citizens who cant even vote?

Unbelievable!

I keep trying to ignore him, but he comes out with new reasons just about every day to make people run from him.

Cowboy or Earp. GOP or Democrat. Republican ( forget about the Conservative part McCain passed that up eons go) or open-borders sell-out RINO.

`Johnnie Ringo’ couldn’t make up his mind.

Michelle Obama’s Gospel Of Misery aka The Audacity of Hopelessness

America’s Unhappiest Millionaire

National Review Online

By Yuval Levin

By her husband’s logic, Michelle Obama must be a heavily armed xenophobic religious zealot, because boy is she bitter. A speech delivered by Mrs. Obama in North Carolina last Friday is characteristic of her peculiar recent performances on the stump. It is an hour-long talk to supporters who just want something to cheer about, and who get some opportunities at the outset, but then find themselves treated to a profoundly and relentlessly negative vision of American life.

She first offers, as she often does in her appearances, a kind of victim’s history of the 2008 Democratic primary race. In Mrs. Obama’s telling, the Obama campaign becomes not an extraordinary mix of strategy and skill, but a sad reflection on the unfairness of American life.

The bar, we are told, is always being raised just as her husband is about to reach it.

"They said he couldn’t win because he didn’t have an organization. Then he built an organization, so they said he couldn’t win because he didn’t have money. He raised money, so they said he couldn’t win because he couldn’t win caucuses. He won caucuses, so they said he couldn’t win because he couldn’t win primaries."

In the tone and substance of the story is the implication that the fact that this race isn’t over is evidence of a profound injustice done to her husband.

“The bar is constantly changing for this man,” she tells us.

Of course, the only relevant bar in an election is whether you win a majority, and Sen. Obama has yet to win a majority of Democratic delegates. If he did, the race would be over. The bar’s not moving.

But this tale of woe is really only an introduction to a larger and more sweeping list of bars getting raised just as hard working people are reaching for them.

“So the bar has been shifting and moving in this race,” she says, “but the irony is, the sad irony is, that’s exactly what is happening to most Americans in this country.”

In Michelle Obama’s America, everybody’s suffering, no one has time to make any friends, no one earns enough to eke out a living anymore, and the bar of success is always being moved just out of reach.

“Folks are struggling like never before,” she says, and in a nation struggling like never before, society cannot stand the strain. "

In such a state of debilitating terror, of course, we can have no hope for the next generation.

“Our fear,” Mrs. Obama says, “is helping us to raise a nation of young doubters, young people who are insular and they’re timid, and they don’t try because they already heard us tell them why they can’t succeed.”

It turns out, also, that it didn’t use to be this way. In fact, a great bulk of Mrs. Obama’s speech is devoted to nostalgia for a simpler time — an odd approach for a progressive, yet an altogether common one on the left today. She describes a steady downward path from that golden age of distant memory.

“We know where we’re living,” she tells the slightly confused audience, “this is where we are right now, and this has been the case for my entire lifetime: that trajectory of hope has gotten more difficult for regular folks.”

Her listeners have to wonder exactly what she has in mind by “regular folks” .

Her husband, of course, manages a peppier and more upbeat stump speech, but in fact the same dark view of American life permeates his rhetoric too. Both Obamas seem to think the country is deeply depressed, and in need of a spiritual, economic, and political savior.

Wild Thing's comment.........

Is there nothing Michelle is happy about? I mean anything? Did she at least enjoy her lunch? Maybe see a butterfly? See an image of a teddy bear in the cloud formations in the sky? Get a hug and kiss from her husband? A hug from her children? A smile from a friend?

To say that we in this day and age are struggling like never before is to be ignorant of what came before you. Ignorant and ungrateful.

Democratic election strategy 101:
Tear down the image of the US, but tell everyone, that if elected, you will fix it all. Nowhere has this been on greater display than the democrats misery tour 2008.

New Obama Pastor Otis Moss Compares Wright To Jesus

New Obama Pastor Otis Moss III Compares Wright To Jesus

Uh-oh, here we go again: Meet Obama's new pastor Otis Moss compares Wright to Jesus, backs up predecessor on AIDS, drugs

WMD

The man slated to become chief pastor at the Trinity United Church of Christ has called blacks "lepers" with a "skin disease," claimed U.S. entertainment corporations operate with "disdain" for black people, and in a fiery sermon claimed retired pastor Rev. Jeremiah Wright was "lynched" by the media and compared the embattled pastor to Jesus.

Otis Moss III, lauded this week by Obama as a "wonderful young pastor," also recently refused to deny claims by Wright that the U.S. government was involved in distributing illegal drugs to minorities or spreading the AIDS virus to blacks.

The 37-year-old Moss, nicknamed the "hip-hop pastor" by congregants, will become the head of Trinity Christ in June, taking over for Wright, whose controversial remarks landed Obama in hot water.

Following a series of national media interviews given by Wright last week, Obama strongly denounced some of Wright's statements as "divisive and destructive."

Wright had defended his views that the U.S. was to blame for the 9-11 attacks and referred to Nation of Islam head Louis Farrakhan as "one of the most important voices in the 20th and 21st century." Wright also quoted controversial Farrakhan remarks, such as his calling "Zionism" a "gutter religion."

While slamming Wright this week, Obama told the New York Times he will continue his membership in Trinity. He referred to Moss as "wonderful."

"Well, you know, the new pastor – the young pastor, Rev. Otis Moss, is a wonderful young pastor. And as I said, I still very much value the Trinity community."

Like Wright, Moss has a trail of fiery sermons posted on YouTube.

In one, an animated Moss compares blacks to biblical "lepers" who have a "skin disease." You will also see Reverend Wright gives a big pat on the back towards the end of the video. Also at the very end he says...."Barack you've got nothin to lose!" ( April 20th)

"You see they still are lepers. They still have a skin disease. They had a skin disease. They had a skin disease. Based on their skin condition, they were considered to be second-class citizens. They had a skin issue. They had a skin disease.

"And the lepers lived in a leper project. The lepers had bad health care. The lepers were disrespected. They had funny names for lepers. The lepers were considered inferior. They had an inferior school system. The lepers lived in a ghetto leper colony. The lepers were segregated from everybody else," he continued.

Moss went on to imply those who segregated blacks are the "enemy."

"But they (blacks) refused to give up. They decided to leave the city. They said that's not going to stop me from my destiny. Once they left the particular area, they then find out God has cooked things up. The camp of the enemy...nobody is there. So they go into the enemy's camp. They find food. They find shelter. They find gold. They find silver. They even find some drink. In the enemy's camp. They find gin and juice. In the enemy's camp."

In his Easter sermon last month, Moss said Wright was "lynched" by the international media.

"No one should start a ministry with lynching, no one should end their ministry with lynching,” Moss said.

"The lynching was national news. The RNN, the Roman News Network, was reporting it and NPR, National Publican Radio had it on the radio. The Jerusalem Post and the Palestine Times all wanted exclusives, they searched out the young ministers, showed up unannounced at their houses, tried to talk with their families, called up their friends, wanted to get a quote on how do you feel about the lynching?” he stated.

He went on to compare Wright to Jesus:

"The people gathered around Jesus, they knew better. But they kept repeating sound bytes from his ministry. They kept saying, you know, things like the last shall be first and didn't say the first shall be last."

"They just kept quoting things. Did not talk about his parables. Did not talk about his work. Just there he is on the cross being lynched. No rabbis came to the aid of Jesus during his lynching."

The church newsletter was widely featured in the media after it was reported the bulletin reprinted an opinion piece by a top Hamas official that defended terrorism as legitimate resistance, refused to recognize the right of Israel to exist and compared the terror group's official charter – which calls for the murder of Jews – to America's Declaration of Independence.

The Hamas piece was published on Wright's "Pastor's Page," which later printed an open letter by a pro-Palestinian activist that labeled Israel an "apartheid" regime and claimed the Jewish state worked on an "ethnic bomb" that kills "blacks and Arabs."

Wild Thing's comment........

Interesting how Obama has said he is done with Wright but in this article Obama is quoted as also saying.....

While slamming Wright this week, Obama told the New York Times he will continue his membership in Trinity. He referred to Moss as "wonderful."

"Well, you know, the new pastor – the young pastor, Rev. Otis Moss, is a wonderful young pastor. And as I said, I still very much value the Trinity community."

The new pastor is just a mini me of Wright, Obama just keeps proving he either does not care or does not get it. Hate speech no mater who it is done by is wrong, destructive and stupid.

Obama's Bill Ayers Steps on U.S.Flag ~ True Face of Democrat Party

2001 photo of William Ayers, an associate of Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama, shows the former terrorist stepping on an American flag.

A 2001 photo of William Ayers, an associate of Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama, shows the former terrorist stepping on an American flag. Ayers was a member of the Weather Underground and is now a professor of education at the University of Illinois in Chicago.

The photo was taken to promote Ayers’s book, “Fugitive Days” and published by Chicago Mag for their August 2001 issue.

The photo was taken during the time Obama and Ayers were serving together on the board of the Woods Fund. B. Hussein Obama served with Ayers from 1999 to 2002 on the board of the Woods Fund.

Also in 2001 Ayers hosted a fund raiser for Obama and donated $200 to Obama's State Senate campaign fund.

ABC News anchor George Stephanopoulos asked, “Can you explain that relationship for the voters, and explain to Democrats why it won't be a problem?”

Obama replied that Ayers “is a guy who lives in my neighborhood, who's a professor of English in Chicago, who I know and who I have not received some official endorsement from. He's not somebody who I exchange ideas from on a regular basis. And the notion that somehow as a consequence of me knowing somebody who engaged in detestable acts 40 years ago when I was 8 years old, somehow reflects on me and my values, doesn't make much sense, George. The fact is, is that I'm also friendly with Tom Coburn, one of the most conservative Republicans in the United States Senate, who during his campaign once said that it might be appropriate to apply the death penalty to those who carried out abortions.”

Wild Thing's comment.......

"And the notion that somehow as a consequence of me knowing somebody who engaged in detestable acts 40 years ago when I was 8 years old"...

How about seven (7) years ago Barrack? I'm sure you can do the math, and you weren't 8 years old in 2001 when this picture of your close friend and political collaborator was standing on the Stars and Stripes.

Ayers was still involved in terrorist activities when Obama was 20 - specifically the firebombing of a prosecutor's home and the murder of two policemen in a Brinks robbery, both carried out by groups of which Ayers was a member.

....Thank you Mark for telling me about this.

Michelle Obama: Barack Has Hit Boiling Point

Michelle Obama told her audience that her husband was 'sick of the battle against Clinton'

Barack Obama is struggling to contain his anger and frustration over the constant barrage of questions about his character and judgment, his wife has revealed.

Telegraph.co.uk

Michelle Obama lifted the lid on the irritation felt by the leading Democrat candidate for the White House at the way anti-American outbursts by his pastor, Jeremiah Wright, have dogged his campaign.

He is said to be itching to turn all his fire on John McCain, the Republican candidate, who is benefiting most from Mr Obama's protracted tussle with Hillary Clinton.

Mrs Obama told a rally in Durham, North Carolina, on Friday that only her husband's desire to change US politics had helped him to control his feelings: "Barack is always thinking three steps ahead – what do we need to do to make change."

Her husband was thinking "I can't let my ego, my anger, my frustration get in the way of the ultimate goal," she said.

"Barack has been characterised as many things that have nothing to do with who he is."

Wild Thing's comment........

I thought Michelle said it was time to move on just the other day? If she’s like this in public, what is she saying to hubby in private? What kind of vitriol does she keep sequestered away for when the cameras aren’t on? Maybe this is a warm up for Michelle, maybe she'll let loose like Monica Conyers did the other day. hahaha ( passing out ear plugs right now to all of you just in case. LOL)

Contrast this month of negative comments from no more than half of the press to the 7-1/2 years of constant negative comments from the entire press that President Bush has endured with equanimity. President Bush has endured being called 'Hitler' and a 'War Criminal'.

Perhaps the delicate "dont' call me a liberal " B.Hussein "don't use my middle name" Obama better retire from politics and raise arugula in an isolated greenhouse somewhere.

There, there Michelle, calm down. What did you expect when you attended such a church with hate filled sermons, by the egomaniac Farrakhan brained, Black Panther breathed Rev. Wright. Tish Tisk!

You didn't mind going there for 20 years, as they say you have made your bed now you and B. Hussein Obama have to lie in it. And the only reason your Barack got upset was because Rev. Wright was putting him down with the "politician" remark and how he ( Rev. Wright) was going to be coming after him once he was elected.

Memo to Michelle Obama your goal of the White House comes with strings attached. You are not nor have you ever been First Lady material. You have a lot to learn about when to be quiet, how to speak with proper grammar, leave the Ebonics back in Chicago and please do not bring it to 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. It does not belong there.

heh heh
Michelle should think of buying this book by Letitia Baldrige, etiquette expert and served as chief of staff to Jacqueline Kennedy.

Kennedy and Kerry Say Still Hopeful For Obama

Kennedy still ‘hopeful’ Obama will win Dem. nomination

Boston Herald

"Sen. Edward M. Kennedy admitted yesterday that Barack Obama is running out of time to sew up the Democratic presidential nomination but remains “hopeful” the Illinois senator will overcome Hillary Clinton’s late surge."

"Kennedy and Sen. John F. Kerry and I are both supporting Obama in his battle against Clinton (D-N.Y.). Kennedy said despite Obama’s recent slips, he remains the best choice for the Democratic party and the country.

“He still offers the best opportunity for new leadership in this country,” Kennedy said.

Obama and Clinton were both in North Carolina last night. Obama has been leading in recent polls in North Carolina while Clinton picked up a big endorsement from Indiana’s largest newspaper, the Indianapolis Star."

Wild Thing's comment........

I wonder how long it will be before Ted offers to chauffeur Hillary and give her a ride?

"Kennedy said despite Obama’s recent slips"

LOL I can just imagine Kennedy sitting there drink in hand watching the whole Rev.Wright and Obama thing happening. Then another drink and another and oh no the Rev. is speaking again, pour another drink. hahaha

For Rev. Jeremiah Wright The Hits Keep Coming

Northwestern rescinds honorary degree offer to Rev. Wright

EVANSTON, Ill.

Northwestern University has withdrawn its offer of an honorary degree to the former pastor of Democrat Barack Obama.

A university official says the school had offered the Rev. Jeremiah Wright an honorary Doctorate of Sacred Theology.

But vice president for university relations Alan Cubbage now says the offer has been rescinded because of the controversy surrounding Wright. He also says the school wants "to ensure that the celebratory character of commencement not be affected."

Wright is the former senior minister at Trinity United Church of Christ in Chicago. His criticisms of the United States have drawn criticism to Obama's presidential campaign.

A phone call to Wright's home wasn't answered.

Wild Thing's comment........

Bwahahahahahaha!

Hey Rev. Wright, your chickens are comin’ hommmmmmme toooooooooooooo roooooooooooooosssssssttttttt!

Like Obama, they were fine with it until everyone found out.

Democrats Angry In Florida ~ LOL

Luis Miranda, deputy communications director for the Democratic National Committee, addresses a group of people rallying for Florida's Democratic primary to be counted during a demonstration at DNC headquarters April 30, 2008 in Washington, DC. .

WASHINGTON, D.C.

A small but very fired up group of Floridians rallied in the street outside the Democratic National Committee’s headquarters here today, demanding that their primary votes be counted and threatening to literally block the doors of the Democratic Convention if they aren't.

Peacefully chanting “Florida Must Count!’ and “Count Our Votes!” while carrying placards and miniature Florida flags.

"We will shut down the convention!" exclaimed Rep. Corrine Brown. "If we are not seated, then nobody is going to be seated!"

Brown, a superdelegate pledged to Clinton, addressed a crowd of about 250 who had been bused up to D.C. from Florida this week under the auspices of LULAC, an Hispanic advocacy group. Though Brown and another super who spoke -- Rep. Hilda Solis -- are in the Clinton camp, organizers went out of their way to remove any hint that they favored one or the other Democrat in the race.

"We're not supposed to talk about that," confided Harriet Meltzer, 83, a member in good standing of the Del Ray Democratic Club, though she allowed that she was, in fact, a Clinton supporter. "What's he going to do when he goes to the Middle East?" she asked of Obama, who she deems to be lacking in experience. "Charm them?"

But others were adamant that this was about right and wrong, not Obama and Clinton. "We've been robbed. I didn't get a say," said Glenda O'Laughlin of Clearwater. "This is a betrayal of our rights as citizens," added Branford Fambro, also of Clearwater.

This is a civil liberties issue – not a campaign or candidate issue,” said Jose Fernandez, the Florida state coordinator for the League of United Latin American Citizens, speaking to the crowd.

Standing in the crowd, Fred Araque, 66, a truck driver from Spring Hill, Fla., pointed to his wife Adela, 65, and said, “She is for Hillary, and I am for Hillary."

“I think most of the people here are for Hillary,” said Araque.

Protesters eventually turned their ire on Howard Dean, literally calling him out with taunting chants of, "Be a man, Howard!" and "Where is Howard!?"

After organizers went inside to meet with DNC officials, who they got outside to address the crowd was not Dean but Luis Miranda, deputy communications director for regional and specialty media.

His promise of Florida representation in Denver was greeted with shouts of "When?" and "How?"

He had no details to offer.

Wild Thing's comment........

LOL Gosh this is priceless!

Let's see they have Superdelegates that can in one vote of their own take away an entire voting block of citizens. Then they have this stupid fight about Florida and Michigan just because of dates for primaries not making the DNC happy. Amazing!

And STILL these idiot democrat voters want to vote democrat. haha They must like to be abused by their party.

No Fairytale When It Comes To Obama

They all hate America, they all want to destroy America as we have traditionally known it, they all want the United States to retreat in the war, and they all want to make over the United States into a marxist/socialist/collective nation.

And they all support, endorse, and/or are well disposed (either friends and mentors and advisors to B. Hussein Obama who wants to be President of the United States of America.

Obama's own core ideology/theology, which dove tails with all of these individuals and groups, this says all you need to know about the man.

All of this add to Obama's actions in not saluting the US Flag during the National Anthem, and his refusal to wear a US flag pin on his lapel, calling it "false" patriotism.

One last thing, we all know that a person is who they associate themselves with and Obama would not have any of these in his life if he did not agree with them. Obama has and will destroy Obama and he has only himself to blame.

Obama is the apex and absolute face of the enemy within in this country.

If anyone has someone that should be added to the list or information to add to the dated area please feel free to let me know. I thought it might be good to have a reference list of the cast of characters and facts about Obama.

The only reason I am not doing a list like this for Hillary is her list would have to be a book. LOL With all the 'gates'
(file gate, travel gate, bimbo gate etc. and the list of deaths surrounding them it would be just too big a file).

The Center for Constitutional Rights (CCR) is representing several of the Gitmo detainees (such as Majid Khan) in court. Not only are they representing individual terrorists, but they are also coordinating all the legal representation for most of the detainees -- more than 500 pro-bono lawyers.

More than 80 attorneys who have been offering free-of-charge legal services to Guantánamo detainees supporting Obama for President.

Muslim American Society (MAS) is an organization with strong ties to the Muslim Brotherhood.

MAS' magazine, The American Muslim provides a snapshot of where MAS really stands on terrorism. The March 2002 issue includes a fatwa endorsing suicide bombings against Israelis, which states that "martyr operations are not suicide and should not be deemed as unjustifiable means of endangering one's life." The fatwa goes on to say that in suicide bombings, "the Muslim sacrifices his own life for the sake of performing a religious duty, which is jihad against the enemy."

Obama 1980
In his first memoir, "Dreams," Obama included a description of black student life at Occidental College in Los Angeles.
" I chose my friends carefully. The more politically active black students. The foreign students. The Chicanos. The Marxist professors and structural feminists."

1983 "Obama once described the white race as "that ghostly figure that haunted black dreams."

2001
Obama is protective of civil rights for Muslims in the U.S., saying, "In the wake of 9/11, my meetings with Arab and Pakistani Americans have a more urgent quality, for the stories of detentions and FBI questioning and hard stares from neighbors have shaken their sense of security and belonging," he laments. "I will stand with them should the political winds shift in an ugly direction."

2001

Obama sponsors Illinois Senate Bill 750 creating the "Halal Food Act," providing for inspections by the Department of Agriculture to ensure that all food labeled Halal is prepared according to Islamic law.

2003
Obama calls the Iraq war "a botched and ill-advised U.S. military incursion into a Muslim country."

2006

In August, Obama took a taxpayer-funded trip to Africa. While he was in Somalia, he was photographed in full Muslim regalia.

2006
In October, Obama publishes "The Audacity of Hope: Thoughts on Reclaiming the American Dream," which details his views of politics and his vision for the future of the U.S. government and its people.

“Malcolm X’s autobiography seemed to offer something different,” Obama wrote. "His repeated acts of self-creation spoke to me; the blunt poetry of his words, his unadorned insistence on respect, promised a new and uncompromising order, martial in its discipline, forged through sheer force of will."

He added: "Malcolm’s discovery toward the end of his life, that some whites might live beside him as brothers in Islam, seemed to offer some hope of eventual reconciliation."

2007
On January 16th, Obama says he is taking a first step toward running for president next year.

"I will be filing papers today to create a presidential exploratory committee," the Illinois Democrat said, adding that he will announce his final decision February 10 from his hometown of Chicago.

2007
On January 24. the Obama Exploratory Committee released the following statement, "To be clear, Senator Obama has never been a Muslim, was not raised a Muslim, and is a committed Christian who attends the United Church of Christ in Chicago.

This statement is amended by the campaign on March 14th, to say, "Obama was never a practicing Muslim."

2007
January 26th, George Soros says he is supporting Barack Obama.

2007
February 10th, Obama, standing in front of a cheering crowd, formally announces he is a candidate for the Office of the President of the United States of America.

In his speech, he lauds what he called the founding fathers' "genius" in creating a system of government that can be changed.

Please notice, the change Obama speaks of is changing the system of government.

2007
On February 27th, Barack Hussein Obama said the Muslim call to prayer is "one of the prettiest sounds on Earth."

In an interview with Nicholas Kristof, published in The New York Times, Obama recited the Muslim call to prayer, the Adhan, "with a first-class [Arabic] accent."

The opening lines of the Adhan (Azaan) is the Shahada:

"Allah is Supreme! Allah is Supreme!
Allah is Supreme! Allah is Supreme!
I witness that there is no god but Allah
I witness that there is no god but Allah
I witness that Muhammad is his prophet... "

According to Islamic scholars, reciting the Shahada, the Muslim declaration of faith, makes one a Muslim. This simple yet profound statement expresses a Muslim's complete acceptance of, and total commitment to, the message of Islam.

Obama knows this from his Quranic studies -- and he knows the New York Times will publish this fact and it will be seen throughout the Islamic world.

2007
March 13th
Obama says that the lives of more than 3,000 American soldiers killed in Iraq had been "wasted." (video)

Within a day, Obama apologizes for saying troops' lives were "wasted."

2007
Cornel West was on fire. Bobbing in his chair, his hands sweeping across the stage, the brilliant and bombastic scholar was lambasting Barack Obama's campaign. Before a black audience, at an event outside Atlanta called the State of the Black Union, West was questioning why Obama was 600 miles away, announcing his bid for the White House in Springfield, Ill. Did he really care about black voters? What did that say about his willingness to stand up for what he believes?

To know who Cornell West is and what he is about see this video.

At the Apollo Theater fundraiser, Obama was introduced by the radical Marxist professor and self-styled rapper, Cornell West, as "my comrade."

What did Obama promise the radical Cornell West to gain his support? Obama chooses to be introduced by one of the most radical Marxists in America as, "my comrade?"

VIDEO of this event

2007
Obama speaks to the La Raza group to get their vote.

The La Raza movement teaches that Colorado, California, Arizona, Texas, Utah, New Mexico, Oregon and parts of Washington State make up an area known as "Aztlan" -- a fictional ancestral homeland of the Aztecs before Europeans arrived in North America. As such, it belongs to the followers of MEChA. These are all areas America should surrender to "La Raza" once enough immigrants, legal or illegal, enter to claim a majority, as in Los Angeles. The current borders of the United States will simply be extinguished.
But it won't end with territorial occupation and secession. The final plan for the La Raza movement includes the ethnic cleansing of Americans of European, African, and Asian descent from "Aztlan."

No surprise here -- a Marxist addressing Marxists

2007

Cornel West was on fire. Bobbing in his chair, his hands sweeping across the stage, the brilliant and bombastic scholar was lambasting Barack Obama's campaign. Before a black audience, at an event outside Atlanta called the State of the Black Union, West was questioning why Obama was 600 miles away, announcing his bid for the White House in Springfield, Ill. Did he really care about black voters? What did that say about his willingness to stand up for what he believes?

"He's got large numbers of white brothers and sisters who have fears and anxieties and concerns, and he's got to speak to them in such a way that he holds us at arm's length," West said, pushing his hand out for emphasis. "So he's walking this tightrope." West challenged the candidate to answer a stark set of questions: "I want to know how deep is your love for the people, what kind of courage have you manifested in the stances that you have and what are you willing to sacrifice for. That's the fundamental question. I don't care what color you are. You see, you can't take black people for granted just 'cause you're black."

A few days later, West was sitting in his Princeton office after class when the phone rang. It was Barack Obama. "I want to clarify some things," the candidate calmly told the professor of religion and African-American studies. Over the next two hours, Obama explained his Illinois state Senate record on criminal justice and affordable health care. West asked Obama how he understood the legacy of Martin Luther King Jr. and interrogated him about a single phrase in Obama's 2004 Democratic-convention speech: that America was "a magical place" for his Kenyan father. "That's a Christopher Columbus experience," West said. "It's hard for someone who came out of slavery and Jim Crow to call it a magical place. You have to be true to yourself, but I have to be true to myself as well." A few weeks later, the two men met in a downtown Washington, D.C., hotel to chat about Obama's campaign staff.

Just a month after ripping into him onstage, West endorsed Obama and signed up as an unpaid adviser.

2007

On April 8th, Obama shows his Muslim/Palestinian solidarity and sensitivity, by telling Muscatine, Illinois Democratic party activists that he supports relaxing restrictions on aid to the Palestinian people.

He said they have suffered the most as a result of stalled peace efforts with Israel. "Nobody is suffering more than the Palestinian people."

2008
Why isn't Barack Obama's speech, which he touts on his presidential website, being used as exhibit A, not only for using words that reach out to his community, but also as an example of how he's using race whenever he can and when it suits his needs and benefits his candidacy?

As the South Carolina primary campaign built to a climax, Obama addressed a largely African-American audience in Sumter.

In this video, Obama drops his eloquent Harvard accent, and says, "They're trying to bamboozle you. It's the same old okie-dokie. -- Y'all know about okie dokie, right? -- They try to bamboozle you. -- Hoodwink ya. Try to hoodwink ya. Alright. -- I'm having too much fun here. ... "

This speech had been borrowed from one of Obama's heroes, Malcolm X, who said, "You've been hoodwinked. You've been had. You've been took. You've been led astray, led amok. You’ve been bamboozled."

It is strange that a candidate, who belongs to an "Afrocentric" church, that bestows awards on Louis Farrakhan, would borrow from Malcolm X, who was a spokesman for the Nation of Islam, right before complaining about e-mails claiming he is Muslim.

2008

On January 31st, Obama told a French magazine in an interview that if he wins office, he will hold a summit with Muslim countries to better the United States' image in the world.

"Once I'm elected, I want to organize a summit in the Muslim world, with all the heads of state, to have an honest discussion about ways to bridge the gap that grows every day between Muslims and the West."

2008
On the evening of March 4th, Obama said that America, under his Presidency, will stop being a "bully." (Video)

He also said an Obama presidency would work to regain the trust of Muslims worldwide with Washington-led aid programs in Muslim countries.

2008

March 12, Fox News had video and story about Obama's mentor, Jeremiah Wright, the video deeply racially confrontational.

2008 March 12th

Ramadan Adassi, leader of the Al Aqsa Brigades terror group in the West Bank's Anskar refugee camp, pointed to Obama's rise to stardom as "an important success. He won popularity in spite of the Zionists and the conservatives."

2008

March 14th

Presidential candidate Barack Obama on Friday repudiated what he called "inflammatory and appalling remarks" made by his Chicago pastor.

Obama said he had not been present during the sermons in question.

Obama told MSNBC, "Had I heard them in church I would have expressed that concern directly to Rev. Wright."

Please note, he says that he would have expressed concern, not repudiate, the words

Yet, in this video, "the Rev" places Obama in the congregation, by saying, "There is a man here, who can take this country in a new direction" and he points at him.

In the next clip, during Wright's 2007 Christmas services, Wright rails, "Barack knows what it means to be a black man living in a country and a process that is controlled by rich white men, Hillary can never know that, Hillary ain't ever been called a nigger!"

While Wright rails, "Bill did us like he did Monica Lewinsky," Wright's successor, Otis Moss III, jumps into the picture frame, attempting to high-five "the Rev."

Barack was in Chicago for Christmas 2007 and Wright is addressing him from the pulpit. Will Barack say me didn't attend Christmas services?

When Obama said, "Had I heard them in church ..." Obama lied. He listened to Wright's sermons for 20 years.

These two men, Obama and Wright, are two peas in the same pod.

And before I get feedback from the loony libs, remember, it was Obama, himself, that wrote these words in "'Dreams of My Father," -- "I found solace in nursing a pervasive sense of grievance and animosity against my mother’s race."

And, please notice the congregation in that video. They are going nuts during Wright's preaching. All of them believe this "evil white man" crap and eat it up.

2008
March 31st

An anti-white and virulently anti-Semitic black supremacist party has once again endorsed Sen. Barack Obama on the presidential candidate's own website.

Following criticism earlier this month of an online endorsement from the New Black Panther Party (NBPP), Obama's campaign removed the controversial organization from the presidential candidate's official website. The NBPP had been a registered team member and blogger on Obama's "MyObama" campaign site.

Shabbazz chalked up the Obama campaign's initial removal of his NBPP endorsement from the website to "the game of politics."

"The Obama camp's move to remove our blog doesn't mean much because I understand politics. We still completely support Obama as the best candidate."

But the NBPP endorsement was reposted on Obama's official website today.

Malik Zulu Shabazz, NBPP national chairman, who has given scores of speeches condemning "white men" and Jews, confirmed his organization's endorsement of Obama in a recent interview with WND.

"I think the way Obama responded to the attack on him and the attempt to sabotage his campaign shows true leadership and character. He had a chance to denounce his pastor and he didn't fall for the bait. He stood up and addressed real issues of racial discord," stated Shabazz.

Shabazz boasted he met Obama last March when the politician attended the 42nd anniversary of the voting rights marches in Selma, Ala.

"I have nothing but respect for Obama and for his pastor," said Shabazz, referring to Jeremiah Wright.

April 7th

Skibo’s risers were packed with community members and students from many of Pittsburgh’s universities. The rally was staffed by volunteers from a number of Carnegie Mellon student organizations, including Carnegie Mellon Students for Barack Obama, Student Senate, AB Political Speakers, and College Democrats.

While the crowd was indeed diverse, some students at the event questioned the practices of Mrs. Obama’s event coordinators, who handpicked the crowd sitting behind Mrs. Obama. The Tartan’s correspondents observed one event coordinator say to another, "Get me more white people, we need more white people." To an Asian girl sitting in the back row, one coordinator said, "We’re moving you, sorry. It’s going to look so pretty, though."

"I didn’t know they would say, 'We need a white person here,'" said attendee and senior psychology major Shayna Watson, who sat in the crowd behind Mrs. Obama. "I understood they would want a show of diversity, but to pick up people and to reseat them, I didn’t know it would be so outright."

2008

April 9th
A group of young men in Gaza gather before each primary in support of Senator Barack Obama. These well-dressed young men, looking vastly different from the street photos of the poor and depressed we usually see, meet in an internet cafe and make random phone calls to American voters, urging a vote for Obama.

2008 April 10th -- It was a celebration of Palestinian culture -- a night of music, dancing and a dash of politics. Local Arab Americans were bidding farewell to Rashid Khalidi, an internationally known scholar, critic of Israel and PLO operative, who was leaving town for a job in New York.

A special tribute came from Khalidi's friend and frequent dinner companion, the young state Sen. Barack Obama. Speaking to the crowd, Obama reminisced about meals prepared by Khalidi's wife, Mona, and conversations that had challenged his thinking.

Obama's presence at such events, as he worked to build a political base in Chicago, has led some Palestinian leaders to believe that he might deal differently with the Middle East than either of his opponents for the White House.

Shocking New Obama Audio/Video has surfaced.

2008
April 11th -- Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama said on Friday it was not his place to criticize former President Jimmy Carter if he were to meet with Hamas.

2008
April 13th -- Two years ago, Hatem El-Hady was the chairman of the Toledo, Ohio-based Islamic charity, Kindhearts, which was closed by the US government in February 2006 for terrorist fundraising and all its assets frozen. Today, El-Hady has redirected his fundraising efforts for his newest cause -- Barack Obama for President.

El-Hady has his own dedicated page on Barack Obama's official website, chronicling his fundraising on behalf of the Democratic Party presidential candidate (his Obama profile established on February 19, 2008 -- two years to the day after Kindhearts was raided by the feds). Not only that, but he has none other than Barack Obama's wife, Michelle Obama, listed as one of his friends, one of her 224 listed friends.

Last summer, El-Hady was questioned by the FBI concerning his knowledge of possible conspirators in a UK-based terror plot.

2008
April 16th -- While Sen. Barack Obama sought to improve his relationship with the Jewish community today by meeting with leaders Philadelphia, but comments by a Hamas political adviser this weekend could potentially hurt the Democratic presidential candidate.

During an interview on WABC radio Sunday, top Hamas political adviser Ahmed Yousef said the terrorist group supports Obama’s foreign policy vision.

"We don’t mind -- actually we like Mr. Obama. We hope he will (win) the election and I do believe he is like John Kennedy, great man with great principle, and he has a vision to change America to make it in a position to lead the world community but not with domination and arrogance," Yousef said in response to a question about the group’s willingness to meet with either of the Democratic presidential candidates.

Obama campaign quietly removed from its official website a page managed by a fundraiser tied to the Islamic terrorist group Hamas, its official blogger has come under attack as a "hardcore Marxist" for hanging a Communist Party flag in his Harvard campus apartment and publishing in a self-professed 'revolutionary Marxist' journal.

Fox News reported that Rev. Jeremiah Wright, pastor and mentor to Obama is now being guarded by members of the goon-squad from the Nation of Islam. According to Wright, he has received threats.

2008
April 28th
The Rev. Jeremiah Wright said Monday that he will try to change national policy by "coming after" Obama if he is elected president.

The pastor also insisted Obama "didn’t denounce" him and "didn’t distance himself" from Wright’s controversial remarks, but "did what politicians do."

Wright implied Obama still agrees with him by saying: "He had to distance himself, because he's a politician, from what the media was saying I had said, which was [portrayed as] anti-American."

Reverend Wright's appearance before the National Press Club

2008
April 28th

Reverend Wright's appearance before the National Press Club ....How bad was Reverend Wright's appearance before the National Press Club this morning? Bad enough that even CNN contributor Roland Martin—who yesterday enthused about Wright's address to the Detroit NAACP, who gave Wright's chat with Bill Moyers an 'A'—flunked it with an 'F.' Bad enough that David Gergen condemned it as "narcissistic almost beyond belief." Bad enough that, introducing a panel discussion of the speech, the palpably distressed CNN Newsroom host Tony Harris let out an audible groan of "ah, boy," and later wondered how much damage had been done.

2008

Obama holds press conference to attempt to save his political run for President from the remarks of Rev.Wright. Obama denounced his former pastor in unmistakable terms.

Press Conference from Obama Regarding Wright

VIDEO of Obama PRESS CONFERNECE
VIDEO ......go to this site and click on video. I will post one of it later when it shows up on YouTube. This is the only one I could find right now. Thanks.

Here it is at YouTYube. I will leave the other link above in case anyone is watching it as I add this.

Wild Thing's comment........

When I watched Rev. Wright yesterday with his speech at the National Press Club, I thought he is an angry hateful man who mocked the question reader and acted like a childish ranting idiot.

Obama resorting to damage control. You would think he would that have said that stuff back when the Wright tapes first aired. Obams is now having a “revalation” in order to remain politically viable.

It's all about this being an "insult to what we are trying to accomplish in this campaign".

It's all about Obama and what is convenient to him. How about loving your country? He’s claiming Wright has changed. Not the same man he’s know for 20 years.

His loyalty and preference to the radical black religious nuts are obvious and he's paying the cost.

Now we know the reason why Rev. Jeremiah Wright has The Nation bodyguards. To keep the crazy supporters of Obama away from him.

It has become obvious, too obvious to Americans of all stripes that Wright is hate-filled and anti-American.
Obama's lame attempts to distance himself, though probably orchestrated for just this purpose, will not wash. Wright has just been too close for far, far too long. Since his ties to Obama are so deep and long standing, people are now looking at what Wright actually teaches, his ideology and theology, and what Obama has listened to for the last 20 years.

Wright teaches Black Liberation Theology that was the creation of the black radical James Hal Cone, who took the Latin American Liberation Theology that had been created by Marxists to lure poor catholics into their "revolution" (because they knew their totally Godless marxism would not work), and revamped it for blacks in America.

It is a hate-filled, bigoted, anti-American, race bating, marxist construct. Here is what it's creator, James Hal Cone, says about it, the same James Hal Cone who Wright constantly refers to and holds up as an icon:

"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."

Wright is very cagy and smart, many times smarter than Baraq. He knows exactly what he is doing. I couldn't tell you why, though.

Wright got to where he is with his fortune without the aid of affirmative action. The Obamas have had the affirmative action crutch their whole lives and it has crippled them.

Man, oh MAN, this guy cannot seem to speak clearly what he really thinks...stammer and stutter...

Now we WAIT to see how Wright handles THIS!

DNC Ad Shows U.S. Soldiers Being Blown Up

Outrage: DNC Ad Shows U.S. Soldiers Being Blown Up

By: Jim Meyers

The Democratic National Committee has sparked outrage among veterans and others across the internet by running an anti-John McCain ad that shows U.S. soldiers being blown up.

After the new ad’s voice-over castigated McCain for suggesting that the United States may stay in Iraq for “maybe 100” years, the footage becomes shocking.

The DNC ad then shows an explosive device detonating near two soldiers standing beside a palm tree. The two soldiers disappear in an explosive fireball. The video also shows images of burning vehicles.

The DNC ad

The footage appears similar to film taken by jihadists who videotape IED explosions that kill American combat troops. The jihadists place the video on the internet to tout their "kill Americans" campaign success. The Army estimates that more than 6,500 jihadist Web sites promote violence against America and American troops.

Many U.S. media outlets have refused to air excerpts from such videos for several reasons - including out of respect of the servicemen and women depicted in the videos.

The DNC apparently does not agree. Calls to the DNC for comment and for information about the footage went unreturned.

The Republican National Committee harshly criticized the ad, stating: “It is becoming clear that [DNC Chairman] Howard Dean and the Democratic National Committee will say and do anything to defeat John McCain.” The RNC demanded that the ad be stopped.

The McCain campaign and the RNC contend that the Democrats have been distorting McCain’s comment that the United States may remain in Iraq for "maybe 100” years. Such critics say McCain’s comments have been taken out of context.

The Associated Press reported that he actually went on to say:

“As long as Americans are not being injured or harmed or wounded or killed, it's fine with me, and I hope it would be fine with you, if we maintain a presence in a very volatile part of the world where al-Qaida is training, recruiting, equipping and motivating people every single day."

Republicans also allege that the DNC violates federal election law by coordinating its ad campaign with the Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton campaigns.

The RNC counsel has sent letters to the heads of NBC, CNN, and MSNBC demanding the ad be pulled.

Wild Thing's comment........

This is sickening! And a total outrage. Democrats can burn in hell!

Democrats have no idea just how good they have it in this wonderful country; and, they are clueless as to how desperately miserable THEY would be, if they ever reach their Marxist, collectivist "Utopian" goals.

The footage appears similar to film taken by jihadists who videotape IED explosions that kill American combat troops. The jihadists place the video on the internet to tout their “kill Americans” campaign success. The Army estimates that more than 6,500 jihadist Web sites promote violence against America and American troops.

This quote is from Ann Coulter's book........

"Americans cannot comprehend how their fellow countrymen could not love their country. But the left's anti-Americanism is intrinsic to their entire worldview. Liberals promote the right of Islamic fanatics for the same reason they promote the rights of adulterers, pornographers, abortionists, criminals, and Communists. They instinctively root for anarchy against civilization. The inevitable logic of the liberal position is to be for treason." -- Ann Coulter, P. 292 Treason

Jeremiah Wright Takes Questions At National Press Club

**** The three video's are taken after Wright gave his speech at the National Press Club.****

Jeremiah Wright Takes Questions At National Press Club

Part One

Part Two

Part Three

Wright’s Security Provided By Nation Of Islam

It’s been confirmed: Jeremiah Wright’s bodyguards are Nation of Islam.

And regarding his speech that happened before the above videos of Q % A.

Wright's Voice Could Spell Doom for Obama
washington post

The Rev. Jeremiah Wright, explaining this morning why he had waited so long before breaking his silence about his incendiary sermons, offered a paraphrase from Proverbs: "It is better to be quiet and be thought a fool than to open your mouth and remove all doubt."

Barack Obama's pastor would have been wise to continue to heed that wisdom.

Should it become necessary in the months from now to identify the moment that doomed Obama's presidential aspirations, attention is likely to focus on the hour between nine and ten this morning at the National Press Club. It was then that Wright, Obama's longtime pastor, reignited a controversy about race from which Obama had only recently recovered - and added lighter fuel.

Speaking before an audience that included Marion Barry, Cornel West, Malik Zulu Shabazz of the New Black Panther Party and Nation of Islam official Jamil Muhammad, Wright praised Louis Farrakhan, defended the view that Zionism is racism, accused the United States of terrorism, repeated his view that the government created the AIDS virus to cause the genocide of racial minorities, stood by other past remarks ("God damn America") and held himself out as a spokesman for the black church in America.

In front of 30 television cameras, Wright's audience cheered him on as the minister mocked the media and, at one point, did a little victory dance on the podium. It seemed as if Wright, jokingly offering himself as Obama's vice president, was actually trying to doom Obama; a member of the head table, American Urban Radio's April Ryan, confirmed that Wright's security was provided by bodyguards from Farrakhan's Nation of Islam.

Wright suggested that Obama was insincere in distancing himself from his pastor. "He didn't distance himself," Wright announced. "He had to distance himself, because he's a politician, from what the media was saying I had said, which was anti-American."

Explaining further, Wright said friends had written to him and said, "We both know that if Senator Obama did not say what he said, he would never get elected." The minister continued: "Politicians say what they say and do what they do based on electability, based on sound bites, based on polls."

Wright also argued, at least four times over the course of the hour, that he was speaking not for himself but for the black church.

"This is not an attack on Jeremiah Wright," the minister said. "It is an attack on the black church." He positioned himself as a mainstream voice of African American religious traditions. "Why am I speaking out now?" he asked. "If you think I'm going to let you talk about my mama and her religious tradition, and my daddy and his religious tradition and my grandma, you got another thing coming."

That significantly complicates Obama's job as he contemplates how to extinguish Wright's latest incendiary device. Now, he needs to do more than express disagreement with his former pastor's view; he needs to refute his former pastor's suggestion that Obama privately agrees with him.

Wright seemed aggrieved that his inflammatory quotations were out of the full "context" of his sermons -- yet he repeated many of the same accusations in the context of a half-hour Q&A session this morning.

His claim that the September 11 attacks mean "America's chickens are coming home to roost"?

Wright defended it: "Jesus said, 'Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.' You cannot do terrorism on other people and expect it never to come back on you. Those are biblical principles, not Jeremiah Wright bombastic divisive principles."

His views on Farrakhan and Israel? "Louis said 20 years ago that Zionism, not Judaism, was a gutter religion. He was talking about the same thing United Nations resolutions say, the same thing now that President Carter's being vilified for and Bishop Tutu's being vilified for. And everybody wants to paint me as if I'm anti-Semitic because of what Louis Farrakhan said 20 years ago. He is one of the most important voices in the 20th and 21st century; that's what I think about him. . . . Louis Farrakhan is not my enemy. He did not put me in chains, he did not put me in slavery, and he didn't make me this color."

Wild Thing's comment.........

I think Wright wants to throw Obama under the bus. Wright is such a what a snarky, cocky SOB and loaded with enough hate for 10 people.

Get this during the question period after he gave his speech. C Span just put up the numbers for callers:

African-Americans -—phone number
Others -—phone number

I am not kidding!!!!

Obama Needs To Answer

Wild Thing's comment........

Some interesting questions for Obama presented in this video. The same questions many of us have been wondering about as well.

Like it asks and this is curious for sure.

Interesting how he never mentions when or who baptized him. However, knowing that his personal history is one of being a Muslim, I doubt if anyone baptized him since once you are a Muslim you stay a Muslim... under penalty of death. It is common knowledge that his father and step father were Muslims. That being the case, Islam considers Obama a Muslim. Once a Muslim, always a Muslim. If you convert, you are an apostate and this Islam punishes by death. And conversion to Christianity would have been marked by baptism. Had he been baptized, he would have made mention of it when referring to the baptism of his children.

Check out what Obama has said about becoming a Christian:

"I went over to Trinity United Church of Christ on 95th Street on the South Side of Chicago. And I heard Reverend Jeremiah A. Wright deliver a sermon called "The Audacity of Hope." And during the course of that sermon, he introduced me to someone named Jesus Christ. I learned that my sins could be redeemed. I learned that those things I was too weak to accomplish myself, He would accomplish with me if I placed my trust in Him. And in time, I came to see faith as more than just a comfort to the weary or a hedge against death, but rather as an active, palpable agent in the world and in my own life. It was because of these newfound understandings that I was finally able to walk down the aisle of Trinity one day and affirm my Christian faith. It came about as a choice, and not an epiphany. I didn't fall out in church, as folks sometimes do. The questions I had didn't magically disappear. The skeptical bent of my mind didn't suddenly vanish. But kneeling beneath that cross on the South Side, I felt I heard God's spirit beckoning me. I submitted myself to His will, and dedicated myself to discovering His truth and carrying out His works." [Speech, 6/23/07]

Interesting that something this important there is no actual date. HIs website says........

"It was at Trinity United Church of Christ here, in the late 1980s, that Senator Obama says he found religion."

On being baptized Obama says ( this is also at his website....where do you see he says he was baptized? It is not there!!!

In the Audacity of Hope, Obama wrote, "I was finally able to walk down the aisle of Trinity United Church of Christ one day and be baptized." In 2004, he "attend[ed] the 11 a.m. Sunday service at Trinity in the Brainerd neighborhood every week -- or at least as many weeks as he is able. His pastor, Wright, has become a close confidant." When asked about his decision to be baptized, Obama said "Kneeling beneath that cross on the South Side of Chicago, I felt I heard God's spirit beckoning me," he said of his walk down the aisle of the Trinity United Church of Christ. "I submitted myself to his will and dedicated myself to discovering his truth." [Audacity of Hope, p.208, Chicago Sun Times, 4/5/04; AP 6/28/06]

Another Obama Marxist To Add To The List

Another Obama Marxist

American Thinker

By Lance Fairchok

Barack Obama has a thing for Marxists. He befriends them, listens to their counsel, and he even hires them to work in his campaign. And they seem to feel the warmth.

President Daniel Ortega of Nicaragua, who led a revolution there in 1979, says Barack Obama's presidential bid is a "revolutionary" phenomenon, and Americans are "laying the foundations for a revolutionary change."

A captured computer revealed that an unknown person chatted with Marxist FARC guerillas on Obama's behalf (they believed), stating he would be the next President and US policy towards Columbia would change.

Frank Marshall Davis, a dear Obama friend and mentor was as a member of the Communist Party USA. Barack Obama just seems to attract Marxists.

If the people he surrounds himself with are any indication of his core beliefs, a higher capital gains tax to punish the rich, even if it diminishes actual tax revenue, may be only the beginning. Obama's Official campaign blogger, Sam Graham-Felsen, a former writer for the leftist Nation magazine and a contributor to the Socialist Viewpoint, is certainly a believer in class warfare.

"The capitalist ruling class of the United States exercises a virtual dictatorship not only over American society, but also over the entire world. This capitalist class rule is the basic cause of the poverty, wars and the degradation of the natural environment.
After being expelled from Socialist Action in 1999, we formed Socialist Workers Organization in an attempt to carry on the project of building a nucleus of a revolutionary party true to the historic teachings and program of Marx, Engels, Lenin and Trotsky. "

The product of a Harvard education, Sam is an admirer of anti-American academic Noam Chomsky, a hypocrite and fraud masquerading as a political philosopher. Mr. Chomsky, perhaps admired by Obama as by his official blogger, is fond of visiting dictators and terrorists and giving speeches blaming all the worlds' ills on America. All while accepting defense department contract dollars as a linguist. Chomsky was an ardent supporter of Pol Pot, and to this day denies a holocaust occurred in Cambodia (1.67 million died). He is unrepentant about the horrors his vile ideology encouraged and supports Hamas and Hezbollah with the same willful blindness today.

In an article in the Harvard Crimson, Sam writes of his hero:

"For me, hearing Chomsky speak for the first time was a life-changing experience. His ability to take preconceptions and destroy them-to completely remodel one's understanding of reality with cold, hard facts-blew me away. When I left what was then the ARCO Forum last fall, I felt as though I had been through the Matrix and back. Chomsky really has this effect because he bombards you with evidence and logic, not empty rhetoric. It is nearly impossible to hear him or read him-once you've actually checked his facts yourself (he even cites page numbers in public addresses)-and deny what he's saying."

Sam Graham-Felsen, hired to run Obama's blog, writes about Noam Chomsky in a Marxist publications that openly calls for revolution against the American government. This is a Presidential candidate's choice to run the on-line portion of his campaign. That speaks volumes of his character and worldview. Contradicting what he says in public, Obama is surrounding himself with poeple who never seem to learn that their absurd ideologies end in misery and ruin.

Sam is young and has much to learn, so we can forgive his silly hagiographies, the ones about Chomsky and the ones about Obama. His hero worship is eager and emotional and completely without substance, much as Obama's campaign promises are without substance. Obama is a community organizer in the Saul Alinsky mold, and knows where to get people like Sam who have energy and drive. His staff is nothing if not energetic. He even cut his activist teeth in Chicago, the stomping grounds of Alinsky and so many others in the "progressive" community. One wonders why the windy city still has a murder rate higher than Baghdad, after so many years of enlightened activism.

The adults in the Obama campaign expect us to believe that a campaign staff filled with Marxists and radicals does not reflect the candidate. We are supposed to believe that ideologues who distain America and Americans can improve the system that has brought humanity more prosperity and well-being than any nation before it. Speaking out of both sides of their mouths, they tell us we are great, and then insist we must change because we are responsible for all the bad things that happen in the world. That alone should anger the electorate enough to defeat them. The change Obama will bring will not be the change America needs or expects. It will be the change of naive adolescents, which think Noam Chomsky wise.

"We continue to have an optimistic outlook about the revolutionary potential of the world working class to rule society in its own name-socialism. We are optimistic that the working class, united across borders, and acting in its own class interests can solve the devastating crises of war, poverty, oppression, and environmental destruction that capitalism is responsible for. "

- The Socialist Viewpoint

Wild Thing's comment........

Obama’s errors in judgment concerning the people he associates with are mind boggling. And another scary thing, the media, we hear them pushing Obama like no other candidate I can remember has even been pushed. The only answer there can be is that they do get it and this is the "change" they want. And they’re all jockeying to be the new TASS and Pravda.

Bitter Obama "Fed Up" With Questions About His Patriotism

Obama "Fed Up" With Questions About His Patriotism

CBS News

KOKOMO, IND.

Questions surrounding Barack Obama’s patriotism resurfaced today at a town hall meeting, when a voter asked him to address rumors that he does not salute the flag. Obama strongly denied the allegation, calling it a “phony issue” and a lie.

“It’s a lie. So anybody who tells you out there that I disrespect the flag, that I don’t salute the flag, that I don’t say the pledge of allegiance, that you know don’t wear flag pins, don’t listen to them,” Obama said. “Look at what I do and look at what I say and my commitment to making this a stronger country and I get pretty fed up with people questioning my patriotism.”

Obama blamed the rumors on an incident at the Harkin Steak Fry in Iowa last summer, where he said he listened and sang along to ‘Star Spangled Banner’ but didn’t put his hand over his heart.

“I acknowledged the mistake of not having put my hand over my heart during the singing of the Star Spangled Banner,” Obama said.

“I’m gonna look at all of you at a ballgame one time to see if you always get it right.”

Obama also tried to turn the table around on Hillary Clinton’s argument that he does not have adequate experience to be president by questioning what she has done with hers. He used health care policy as an example of what he says is Clinton’s inability to reform Washington.

“Now here’s where the difference between Senator Clinton and myself come in, because you know she’s making a similar claim, you’ve got to ask yourself why is it we haven’t gotten health care reform?,” Obama said. “I mean, all these folks who talk about how much experience they’ve got, why is it that we haven’t been able to get it done?”

He also told the crowd that a vote for his opponents would be a vote for the “same old thing.”

“So, Indiana you’ve got a decision to make, we can keep on doing the same old thing with the same old folks the same old ways and hope somehow that we’re gonna get a real change, or we can make a decision that we are gonna to bring about a new America, with a new politics and new leadership.”

Wild Thing's comment........

So the widdle boy is getting upset! Someone call the waaahmbulance. haha

But wait I think I hear a voice calling from the back of the room, it is, oh yes, why it's John McCain on the way to apologize for the question.

" a new America, with a new politics and new leadership"

These words are truly frightening coming from Obama.

“I’m gonna look at all of you at a ballgame one time to see if you always get it right.”

Uh, hello... you're running for POTUS, you arrogant donkey.

Sheesh, ya pipsqueak, a president faces more challenges than a few uncomfortable questions. If you can’t handle a wee measure of “heat”, then you don’t belong anywhere near the kitchen.

Why Obama Is Dangerous With Defense Cuts He Wants

Obama Pledges Cuts in Missile Defense, Space, and Nuclear Weapons Programs

The full text from the video, as released, reads as follows:

First, I'll stop spending $9 billion a month in Iraq. I'm the only major candidate who opposed this war from the beginning. And as president I will end it. (i.e. not win it)

Second, I will cut tens of billions of dollars in wasteful spending.

I will cut investments in unproven missile defense systems.

I will not weaponize space.

I will slow our development of future combat systems.

And I will institute an independent "Defense Priorities Board" to ensure that the Quadrennial Defense Review is not used to justify unnecessary spending.

You know where I stand. I've fought for open, ethical and accountable government my entire public life. I don't switch positions or make promises that can't be kept. I don't posture on defense policy and I don't take money from federal lobbyists for powerful defense contractors. As president, my sole priority for defense spending will be protecting the American people. Thanks so much.

New Pentagon Report: China's Growing Military Space Power
By Leonard David

GOLDEN, Colorado

A just-released Pentagon report spotlights a growing U.S. military concern that China is developing a multi- dimensional program to limit or prevent the use of space-based assets by its potential adversaries during times of crisis or conflict.
Furthermore, last year's successful test by China of a direct-ascent, anti-satellite (ASAT) weapon to destroy its own defunct weather satellite, the report adds, underscores that country's expansion from the land, air, and sea dimensions of the traditional battlefield into the space and cyber-space domains.

Although China's commercial space program has utility for non- military research, that capability demonstrates space launch and control know-how that have direct military application. Even the Chang'e 1 — the Chinese lunar probe now circling the Moon — is flagged in the report as showcasing China's ability "to conduct complicated space maneuvers — a capability which has broad implications for military counterspace operations."

New York Times, Monday, March 17, 2008

"Russia has objected strenuously to the antimissile system, calling it a threat to Russian security despite American assurances. President Vladimir V. Putin has threatened to point missiles at Eastern Europe if the system is built. Mr. Gates said that while the United States would not grant Russia a veto over missile defense sites in Europe, the Bush administration was willing to guarantee that neither the radar proposed for the Czech Republic nor the 10 missile interceptors proposed for Poland would be turned on until Iran had proven it had a missile that could reach Europe."

"I will cut investments in unproven missile defense systems."

"I will not weaponize space."

"I will slow our development of future combat systems."

Russia, China flex muscles in joint war games
Reuters: Aug 17, 2007

CHEBARKUL, Russia (Reuters) - Russia and China staged their biggest joint exercises on Friday but denied this show of military prowess could lead to the formation of a counterweight to NATO.
"Today's exercises are another step towards strengthening the relations between our countries, a step towards strengthening international peace and security, and first and foremost, the security of our peoples," Putin said.

Fighter jets swooped overhead, commandos jumped from helicopters on to rooftops and the boom of artillery shells shook the firing range in Russia's Ural mountains as two of the largest armies in the world were put through their paces.

The exercises take place against a backdrop of mounting rivalry between the West, and Russia and China for influence over Central Asia, a strategic region that has huge oil, gas and mineral resources.

Russia's growing assertiveness is also causing jitters in the West. Putin announced at the firing range that Russia was resuming Soviet-era sorties by its strategic bomber aircraft near NATO airspace.

Rino McCain and His Ilk Say ~ And I Say

This article is such a good example of some of the things that are WRONG with my Republican party and why we don't have a conservative to vote for.

I going to post it and take it apart to give my take on some things. The parts of the article will be in quotes and my take on it will be in bold.

Link for article

North Carolina Republican leaders are standing by a TV ad critical of Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama despite dissension in their own ranks and one station's refusal to air it.

Republican National Committee member Linda Shaw said Thursday she was shocked that her colleagues decided to produce and air the ad, which shows Obama with his former pastor, Jeremiah Wright, and a clip of Wright's anti-U.S. comments. "I do not support it," Shaw said. "I had nothing to do with it ... and I'm very disappointed." Shaw, a longtime party leader, said she repeatedly urged state party chairwoman Linda Daves to withdraw the spot.

This Linda Shaw person is SHOCKED? This is a response a follower of Wright would have NOT a Republican. And damn sure not a conservative. And it says she is a longtime party leader. God help us no wonder, hey Linda Shaw maybe it is time to go and join the party of PC religion, the party of the left that LOVES to take freedom of speech away. Wright had freedom of speech to say what he did then you better believe we have that same right, and we that didn't like what he said have the same right to point it out.
As for their state party chairwoman Linda Daves , I am proud of you!!!

I cannot dictate to the North Carolina Republican Party what their message is, but I condemn it and I can appeal to the overwhelming majority of Republicans in the state of North Carolina," McCain said while campaigning in New Orleans.

Oh wow McCain condemns it! I am shaking in my boots I am so afraid of this Manchurian candidate.

Democratic party officials have criticized the ad. On Thursday, state Democratic Party Chairman Jerry Meek urged Republican Sen. Elizabeth Dole to use her power to keep it off the air. "As the highest-ranking Republican in the state, you have both the ability and responsibility to erase this stain on our state," Meek said in a letter to Dole. "Your silence tells North Carolinians that you will also sanction similar gutter tactics in your own campaign." Dole said in an interview that she didn't want to get involved. "I am concentrating on getting my work done here in the Senate, and I'm just not going to get into refereeing a third-party political ad that has nothing to do with my race," she said.

Democratic Party Chairman Jerry Meek calls the ad a stain on their State? LMAO oh like Obama and his America hating wife are not a stain on our entire country!!!!
And hey Lizzie Dole, you don't want to get involved. Too bad beotch! We are at war to save America from the enemy within, our troops have their lives on the line 24/7, and you can't get involved by giving even an opinion about the ad? You say it is because it has nothing to do with YOUR own political race. Let me get this straight, you are an American right? Your race, your position in the Senate exists in OUR country the USA right? You are a citizen of this country right? Then how the hell does it not have something to do with you as well, oh and you are also a Republican right? LOL Sure keep drinking the liberal, rino kool-aid, you have been on thin ice for awhile now anyway. And what the heck...Third party? Where the heck is a third party mentioned? Unless she means that Wright is a third party to her.

Obama's campaign questioned McCain's efforts to get the ad off the air.
"The fact that Senator McCain can't get his own party to take down this misleading, personal attack ad raises serious questions about his promise to the American people that he will run a civil, respectful campaign," said Obama campaign spokesman Hari Sevugan.

Just a heads up FYI for you Hari Sevugan. McCain is NOT a representative of the conservative base of the Republican party. You have the same thing in your own party with the conservative democrats like Zell Miller vs. the terrorist loving, military hating, freedom destroying, taxes up our wazzo loving socialist/communist progressive Pelosi, Murtha. Reid, Obama, Hillarites in your party.

Therefore there is NO way McCain speaks for me now, in the past or in the future as long as he has ass parked on your side of the aisle. Got that Obama breath!!!!

Man Up McCain!

Yep I am ticked at McCain....again. haha

He's not attempting to elevate any discourse. He's trying to impose his phony self righteous, sanctimonious senatorial collegiality on those running against Democrats. His hollow castigation's reveal his hypocrisy . He devotes way too much effort going after those he expects to accept him. But he will pay the price. Unfortunately, so will America.

McCain Tells Off NC Republican Party Regarding Ad

WASHINGTON

Republican U.S. presidential candidate John McCain accused North Carolina's Republican Party of being "out of touch with reality" over its refusal to pull an advertisement criticizing Democrat Barack Obama.

In an NBC interview aired on Friday, the Arizona senator said he has done all he can to persuade the state party to cancel the television ad that criticizes Obama as "too extreme" because of controversial remarks made by his former pastor, the Rev. Jeremiah Wright.

"They're not listening to me because they're out of touch with reality and the Republican Party. We are the party of Abraham Lincoln, Theodore Roosevelt and Ronald Reagan and this kind of campaigning is unacceptable," McCain told NBC's "Today" Show.

"I've done everything that I can to repudiate and to see that this kind of campaigning does not continue," he added.

Asked if the state party's unwillingness to heed his call raised questions about his leadership, McCain replied: "I don't know exactly how to respond to that."

North Carolina is one of two states holding the next crucial Democratic primaries on May 6 in the tight race between Obama and New York Sen. Hillary Clinton to oppose McCain in the November presidential election.

But the state party served notice that the ad would air.

Wild Thing's comment........

McCain is the one who is " out of touch with reality" !!!!!

McCain is SUCH a Jackass! Doesn't he know that Lincoln JAILED the Copperhead Democrats who were trying to sabotage the war effort????? Lincoln certainly didn't worry about "respecting" his political enemies. He crushed them!

I think that lady from the North Carolina GOP (Linda Danes?) should run in McCain’s place—she seems to have more of a set than he does.

Wright Breaks Silence ~ says attacks 'unfair'

(CNN)

In Jeremiah Wright's first television interview since clips of his controversial sermons circulated the Internet, Barack Obama's former pastor says his words were unfairly taken out of context for 'devious' reasons.'

In an interview on PBS set to air Friday, Wright expressed frustration with how his sermons had been portrayed by the news media and critics of Obama's White House bid.

“I felt it was unfair,” he told PBS' Bill Moyers according to released excerpts. “I felt it was unjust. I felt it was untrue.

I felt that those who were doing that, were doing it for some very devious reasons.”

Some of Wright's past sermons came under fire after a news report turned some of his most contentious comments into a YouTube phenomenon last month. In one, the minister said America had brought the September 11 attacks upon itself. In another, he said Clinton had an advantage over Obama because she is white. He also accused the U.S. government of adopting policies to systematically oppress African-Americans.

Obama immediately rejected the comments, though critics charged the Illinois senator should have denounced the minister long ago. In a widely-praised speech on race relations, Obama said he could no more disown Wright than "I can disown the black community."

Speaking to PBS, Wright did not recant his past sermons. "The persons who have heard the entire sermon understand the communication perfectly," he said.

"The message that is being communicated by the sound bites is exactly what those pushing those sound bites want to communicate," he said, adding later, “I think they wanted to communicate that I am unpatriotic, that I am un-American, that I am filled with hate speech, that I have a cult at Trinity United Church of Christ — and by the way, guess who goes to his church, hint, hint, hint? That’s what they wanted to communicate.”

Wright also said he has never discussed politics with Obama.

“He goes out as a politician and says what he has to say as a politician. I continue to be a pastor who speaks to the people of God about the things of God.”

UPDATE:

from the Chicago Tribune article HERE

Moyers is a member of Wright's denomination, the United Church of Christ.

Wild Thing's comment........

Liberal Bill Moyers will be doing the interview on PBS.

I guess Wrigiht just could not stand to be out of the limelight much longer. LOL I love how he says the words were twisted around. hahahahhaa Oh Pleazzzzeeeeee

New Obama Crime Record Commercial Video

ExposeObama: New Obama Crime Record Commercial video

ExposeObama.com put together this commercial highlighting the Democrat front-runner’s soft record on crime.

ExposeObama had some heavy hitters on board to help put the video together, including Floyd Brown. Floyd Brown was the man who created the Willie Horton ads which brought the truth about Mike Dukakis directly to the American people.

Wild Thing's comment......

On Fox News last night they were telling that between Friday night and early Monday morning, 36 people were shot in Chicago, nine fatally, and two people were stabbed, in Chicago Obamaland. Gang areas and gang related but they know they have a Senator like Obama that is not strong on crime and that does make a difference.

RNC and John McCain Condemn N.C. Anti-Obama TV Ad

This ad entitled "Extreme" released by the North Carolina Republican Party opposes Bev Perdue and Richard Moore for Governor.

The North Carolina Republican Party is preparing to unveil a television ad which functions on two levels: paint Obama as "extreme" for attending Trinity United Church of Christ in Chicago where Rev. Wright made incendiary comments and knock Democrats Bev Perdue and Richard Moore for endorsing someone as "extreme" to North Carolina as Obama.

There' s no real money behind the ad right now. NC Republican Party spokesman Brent Woodcox told ABC News the party will make a final decision about the ad buy on Monday.

Republican presidential nominee Sen. John McCain, of Arizona, moved quickly on Wednesday to reject the ad.

"I have been committed to running a respectful campaign based upon an honest debate about the great issues confronting America today. I expect all state parties to do so as well. The television advertisement you are planning to air degrades our civics and distracts us from the very real differences we have with the Democrats," said McCain in a letter to the North Carolina Republican Party Chair Linda Davis.

McCain demanded that Davis discontinue plans to run the ad:

"It is imperative that you withdraw this offensive advertisement."

Wild Thing's comment........

The ad is certainly truthful: Obama is extreme. And McCain once again shows the same timidity he showed in 2004 with his failure to not criticize his buddy Kerry, and how he (McCain) opposed the ads by the Swifties who told the truth about Kerry. McCain hit another low when he characterize the SWIFT Boat vets commercial about John Kerry as "dishonest and dishonorable".

This IS legitimate information in a campaign for President of the United States. He should not deligitimize the information as being off limites in the campaign. And it is relevant information.

This is why we need Hildabeast in there to the bitter end. McCain wont fight Osama Obama but she will!

UPDATE I just saw while posting this:

NC GOP defies RNC and McCain, will air ad

North Carolina Republicans pull anti-Obama ad

The North Carolina GOP will still run an ad featuring Barack Obama's pastor despite the pleas of the RNC and John McCain himself, according to a spokesman for the state party.
"Yes, the ad will air," said Brent Woodcox, communications director for the North Carolina GOP.

RNC chairman Mike Duncan has been in contact with the state party asking them to not run it and McCain sent an unequivocal email to the North Carolina GOP chairwoman urging the same.

Also, Woodcox sent over a defense of the spot, which I've updated in the original post with the ad down below.

UPDATE: ad gets pulled

anyone getting dizzy?

North Carolina's Republican Party on Thursday withdrew an advertisement critical of Democrat Barack Obama's links to a controversial preacher, Republican John McCain's campaign said.

McCain senior adviser Charlie Black said he had been informed by the Republican National Committee's representative in North Carolina, that the state party had agreed to withdraw the ad.

McCain, the Republicans' presumptive presidential nominee, had appealed to the state party to withdraw the ad, saying he wanted to run a respectful campaign.

This is so confusing and it is all because of McCain. grrrrrr

There is also this they both seem to be around the same time period so who knows what will happen.:

In a letter his campaign released to Linda Daves, chairwoman of North Carolina’s Republican Party, Mr. McCain said the advertisement “degrades our civics and distracts us from the very real differences we have with the Democrats.”

Mike Duncan, the chairman of the Republican National Committee who was traveling with Mr. McCain on Wednesday, said he had a left a message with Ms. Daves also asking that the advertisement be pulled.

But Brent Woodcox, communications director for the state party, said it still planned to broadcast the commercial, although for how long and how extensively throughout the state had not yet been decided.

B.Hussein Obama's Logo New Look of Presidential Seal?

Link to page at Obama's webtsite HERE

It is also listed here as a download at his site

We have the flag pin issue with B. Hussein Obama, he won’t cover his heart during the National Anthem, and he thinks the God-fearing are “bitter.”

It seems Barak Obama has some explaining to do about a revised presidential seal on his website that shows an American flag being pierced by an arrow. The logo also shows what appears to be an American Eagle in retreat and a rising moon.

Looking at it there is an arrow or spear through the stars and stripes of the USA, the flag is depicted torn, an eagle is turned away from and is departing from over the flag symbol, a moon is rising over the USA stripes in a dark night, and above the frame, top right, the curve of the wings of an eagle are depicted from the rear, as it is seen lifting, to fly away.

The arrow can be seen piercing the flag on the lower right with the point coming thru just behind the Eagle.

Here is a CLOSE up of the image:

Here is the Official Presidential Seal with Eagle holding the arrows

Wild Thing's comment.......

What the heck, who designed this? One of his terrorists supporter friends?

This makes me sick to see his Obama circle in the center of it as well as the other changes he has made to it. I guess he can't wait to get his slimy ugly hands on the Presidential Seal.

Another Terrorist Supporter For B. Hussein Obama

Two years ago, Hatem El-Hady was the chairman of the Toledo, Ohio-based Islamic charity, Kindhearts, which was closed by the US government in February 2006 for terrorist fundraising and all its assets frozen. Today, El-Hady has redirected his fundraising efforts for his newest cause - Barack Obama for President.

El-Hady has his own dedicated page on Barack Obama's official website, chronicling his fundraising on behalf of the Democratic Party presidential candidate (his Obama profile established on February 19, 2008 - two years to the day after Kindhearts was raided by the feds). Not only that, but he has none other than Barack Obama's wife, Michelle Obama, listed as one of his friends, one of her 224 listed friends.

But his leadership of Kindhearts is not the only thing that has brought him scrutiny by federal law enforcement officials. Last summer, El-Hady was questioned by the FBI concerning his knowledge of possible conspirators in a UK-based terror plot.

Hatem El-Hady's interest in "change" is understandable. Following the closure of Kindhearts, he said in response to the government's closure of his organization:

"It's dirty politics," said Dr. Hatem Elhady, chairman of the board of KindHearts, which raised $5.1 million in 2004. "They do not like the way things are going in Palestine. They do not like the election results. But that is not our problem. Our problem is providing aid to people in desperate need of help."

The Department of Justice had a very different version of events. According to the DOJ, Kindhearts assumed the role of lead terrorist fundraising in the US after the government had closed other such Islamic "charities".

Not only was Kindhearts engaged in providing funds for HAMAS in Lebanon and the West Bank, it had hired as a fundraising specialist the man identified as the designated HAMAS bag man in the US, Mohammed El-Mezain.

* KindHearts’ Director of Domestic Programs, Khalifah Ramadan. Ramadan was a training and evaluation consultant for the Council on American Islamic Relations (CAIR) and the Islamic Society of North America (ISNA), two large Muslim organizations based in the United States that have links to overseas terror groups.

* KindHearts’ Representaive, Omar Shahin. Shahin was an Imam for the Islamic Center of Tucson (ICT), the former home of numerous terror operatives, including Wael Jelaidan, who later helped found Al-Qaeda.

* KindHearts’ Representative, Wagdy Ghuneim. Ghuneim, an Egyptian cleric, has been featured in KindHearts fundraising dinners for 2002, 2003 and 2004. During a rally at Brooklyn College, in May of 1998, Ghuneim attempted to persuade the crowd to support violent jihad and labeled Jews as “descendants of the apes.”

* KindHearts’ Representative, Hatem Bazian. Bazian is an Islamic Studies instructor and a member of the faculty of Near Eastern Studies at UC Berkley. In April of 2004, during a San Francisco anti-war rally, Bazian, a native Palestinian, called for an “intifada” against the United States. This was just two months prior to Bazian being featured in a KindHearts Fundraising Dinner, entitled ‘Palestinians in agony!’

* KindHearts’ Manager in Lebanon, Haytham Maghawri (a.k.a. Haytham Fawri). Maghawri, the past Social Services Director for HLF, according to the Treasury Department, “collected [KindHearts] funds and sent them to Hamas and other Salafi groups.” [One of the recipients of KindHearts funding was Specially Designated Global Terrorist (SDGT) Usama Hamdan, a leader of Hamas in Lebanon.

And two months before Kindhearts closure by the US government, Beila Rabinowitz had revealed that the South Asia Division Coordinator for Kindhearts, Zulfiqar Ali Shah, had known ties to al-Qaeda, even conducting a 10-day tour with officials for the Tablighi Jamaat organization, which the New York Times had described as "a springboard for militancy" and a "recruitment" center for Al-Qaeda.

Barack Obama has promised change. And as indicated by the public support that his candidacy has received by accused terrorist fundraiser Hatem El-Hady, Obama's version of change that terrorists and their US supporters can believe in.

Wild Thiing's comment........

I guess if we go by how many already support Obama there will be more before this is over. What a nightmare Obama and his wife are and will be if elected.

Does Michelle Obama Have The Wright Stuff? NO, She Is Not Ready For Prime Time

In her senior thesis at Princeton, Michele Obama, the wife of Barack Obama ('OSAMA') stated that America was a nation founded on “crime and hatred”. Moreover, she stated that whites in America were “ineradicably racist”.

The 1985 thesis, titled 'Princeton-Educated Blacks and the Black Community' was written under her maiden name, Michelle LaVaughn Robinson.

Michelle Obama stated in her thesis that to 'Whites at Princeton , it often seems as if, to them, she will always be Black first...'

However, it was reported by a fellow black classmate, “If those 'Whites at Princeton ' really saw Michelle as one who always would 'be Black first,' it seems that she gave them that impression”.

Most alarming is Michele Obama’s use of the terms “separationist” and “integrationist” when describing the views of black people.

Mrs. Obama clearly identifies herself with a “separationist” view of race.

“By actually working with the Black lower class or within their communities as a result of their ideologies, a separationist may better understand the desperation of their situation and feel more hopeless about a resolution as opposed to an integrationist who is ignorant to their plight.”

Obama writes that the path she chose by attending Princeton would likely lead to her 'further integration and/or assimilation into a white cultural and social structure that will only allow me to remain on the periphery of society; never becoming a full participant.'

Michele Obama clearly has a chip on her shoulder. Not only does she see separate black and white societies in America , but she elevates black over white in her world.

Here is another passage that is uncomfortable and ominous in meaning:

“There was no doubt in my mind that as a member of the black community, I am obligated to this community and will utilize all of my present and future resources to benefit the black community first and foremost. “

What is Michelle Obama planning to do with her future resources if she’s first lady that will elevate black over white in America ?

The following passage appears to be a call to arms for affirmative action policies that could be the hallmark of an Obama administration.

“Predominately white universities like Princeton are socially and academically designed to cater to the needs of the white students comprising the bulk of their enrollments.”

The conclusion of her thesis is alarming.

Michelle Obama’s poll of black alumni concludes that other black students at Princeton do not share her obsession with blackness. But rather than celebrate, she is horrified that black alumni identify with our common American culture more than they value the color of their skin.

“I hoped that these findings would help me conclude that despite the high degree of identification with whites as a result of the educational and occupational path that black Princeton alumni follow, the alumni would still maintain a certain level of identification with the black community. However, these findings do not support this possibility.”

Is it no wonder that most black alumni ignored her racist questionnaire? Only 89 students responded out of 400 who were asked for input.

Michelle Obama does not look into a crowd of Obama supporters and see Americans. She sees black people and white people eternally conflicted with one another.

The thesis provides a trove of Mrs. Obama's thoughts and world view seen through a race-based prism.
This is a very divisive view for a potential first lady that would do untold damage to race relations in this country in a Barack Obama administration.

Wild Thing's comment........

Charming future First Lady...not.

Michele was never a child of “poverty “ but she came from a solid middle class home and she still could find nothing to credit her country for.

Her body language, her 'gettin' down' slouch, her tone...YIKES! I am sorry but she reminds me exactly of the black girls in movies and TV who were looking for a fight for no particular reason. The shows like Law and Order and other shows where they have gang members etc.

She has no class at all it is missing totally. It even shows in her body language.

Michelle: "But let me tell you who me and Barack are,...."

That's not 'talking funny'; that's horrid grammar for a college graduate to use. And I find it offensive from anyone in this country college educated or not.

Michelle: "...who me and Barack are so that you are not confuse....working class upbringin'...."

Come on, Michelle, you really want to drop one "ing" for "in"?

Maybe she has time before it's too late, to go to some kind of finishing school to learn how to deport herself. The maintenance lady in our building is more refined. Michelle has enough attitude and coarse demeanor to choke the whole stable. I wonder who she thinks she's talking to.

Osama says he knew growing up on food stamps. BS! His white liberal grandparents sent him to the most expensive private school in Hawaii. You can’t do that on food stamps.

Ms Osama says she is a product of public education? BS. She’s a product of affirmative action and private education. We shall reap what we sow if Osama is elected.

Weathermen Terrorist Bill Ayers Has a Blog

Bill Ayers Has a Blog

A panel at the University of Chicago debates the merits of the juvenile justice system

During last night's Democratic presidential primary debate in Philadelphia, Sen. Barack Obama was pressed forcefully by moderator George Stephanopoulos and Democratic rival Sen. Hillary Clinton about his relationship with William Ayers, a former member of the radical anti-Vietnam War group the Weathermen -- later the Weather Underground -- which bombed government buildings in the 1970s.

Obama, who sat on the board of the Woods Fund with Ayers in Chicago, sought to keep his distance. "This is a guy who lives in my neighborhood, who's a professor of English in Chicago, who I know and who I have not received some official endorsement from," said the senator from Illinois. "He's not somebody who I exchange ideas from on a regular basis."

"And the notion that somehow as a consequence of me knowing somebody who engaged in detestable acts 40 years ago when I was 8 years old, somehow reflects on me and my values," Obama continued, "doesn't make much sense, George."

It turns out that Ayers -- known in Chicago as Bill -- is not much of a fan of how he has been characterized in the press recently, either. And so he's taken to his blog, billayers.wordpress.com, to write about it.

On April 6, Ayers responded to his increasingly prominent role in the Democratic presidential nominating contest and what he described as "some fantastic assertions about what I did, what I said, and what I believe," including accusations that he is "an unrepentant terrorist"

In a post titled "Episodic Notoriety -- Fact and Fantasy," Ayers addresses the most frequently hurled accusations against him.

"I'm often quoted saying that I have 'no regrets,'" he writes. "This is not true. For anyone paying attention--and I try to stay wide-awake to the world around me all/ways--life brings misgivings, doubts, uncertainty, loss, regret. I'm sometimes asked if I regret anything I did to oppose the war in Viet Nam, and I say 'no, I don't regret anything I did to try to stop the slaughter of millions of human beings by my own government.' Sometimes I add, 'I don't think I did enough.' This is then elided: he has no regrets for setting bombs and thinks there should be more bombings."

In fact, Ayers says, those who tied to stop the "illegal, murderous, imperial war against Viet Nam ... recognize that our efforts were inadequate: the war dragged on for a decade, thousands were slaughtered every week, and we couldn't stop it. In the end the U.S. military was defeated and the war ended, but we surely didn't do enough."

Nor does Ayers believe his actions with the Weather Underground were terrorism. "I've never advocated terrorism, never participated in it, never defended it. The U.S. government, by contrast, does it routinely and defends the use of it in its own cause consistently," he wrote.

Wild Thing's comment........

B. Hussein and Michelle Obama say they don't know know Ayers very well. OH sure keep up with the lies! we will just keep commenting on them as you go. We can’t let Obama and his cult followers to get away with lying about his connection with this Communist and terrorist.

OK now look at this:
And note the DATE : November 4, 1997

"William Ayers, author of A Kind and Just Parent: The Children of Juvenile Court(Beacon Press, 1997), says “We should call a child a child. A 13-year-old who picks up a gun isn’t suddenly an adult. We have to ask other questions: How did he get the gun? Where did it come from?”
Ayers, who spent a year observing the Cook County Temporary Juvenile Detention Center in Chicago, is one of four panelists who will speak on juvenile justice at 6 p.m. Thursday, Nov. 20, in the C-Shop of the Reynolds Club, 5706 S. University Ave.

The panel, which marks the 100th anniversary of the juvenile justice system in the United States, is part of the Community Service Center’s monthly discussion series on issues affecting the city of Chicago.

The event is free and open to the public.

Ayers will be joined by Illinois State Sen. Barack Obama, Senior Lecturer in the University of Chicago Law School, who is working to block proposed legislation that would throw more juvenile offenders into the adult system; Randolph Stone, Director of the Mandel Legal Aid Clinic at the University of Chicago; Alex Correa, a reformed juvenile offender who spent 7 years in Cook County Temporary Detention Center; Frank Tobin, a former priest and teacher in the Detention Center who helped Correa; and Willy Baldwin, who grew up in public housing and is currently a teacher in the Detention Center.

The juvenile justice system was founded by Chicago reformer Jane Addams, who advocated the establishment of a separate court system for children which would act like a “kind and just parent” for children in crisis.

One hundred years later, the system is “overcrowded, under-funded, over-centralized and racist,” Ayers said.

Michelle Obama, Associate Dean of Student Services and Director of the University of Chicago Community Service Center, hopes bringing issues like this to campus will open a dialogue between members of the University community and the broader community.

“We know that issues like juvenile justice impact each of us who live in the city of Chicago. This panel gives community members and students a chance to hear about the juvenile justice system not only on a theoretical level, but from the people who have experienced it.”

And then there is this one: Again note the date

In April 2002, Ayers, Dohrn, and Obama, then an Illinois State Senator, participated together at a conference entitled “Intellectuals: Who Needs Them?” sponsored by The Center for Public Intellectuals and the University of Illinois-Chicago. Ayers and Obama were two of the six members of the “Intellectuals in Times of Crisis” panel.

More dated February 4, 2005:

"And Campus Watch reports on a farewell dinner for the radical Palestinian activist Rashid Khalidi, who was leaving the Arab American Action Network to take the Edward Said endowed chair at Colombia University, where Obama, Ayers, and Dohrn all gave glowing testimonials to Khalidi – whose group received $75,000 from the Woods Foundation"

"In bringing professor Khalidi to Morningside Heights from the University of Chicago, Columbia also got itself a twofer of Palestinian activism and advocacy. Mr. Khalidi’s wife, Mona, who also served in Beirut as chief editor of the English section of the WAFA press agency, was hired as dean of foreign students at Columbia’s SIPA, working under Dean Anderson. In Chicago, the Khalidis founded the Arab American Action Network, and Mona Khalidi served as its president. A big farewell dinner was held in their honor by AAAN with a commemorative book filled with testimonials from their friends and political allies. These included the left wing anti-war group Not In My Name, the Electronic Intifada, and the ex-Weatherman domestic terrorists Bernadine Dohrn and Bill Ayers. (There were also testimonials from then-state Senator Barack Obama and the mayor of Chicago.)"

Democrats Aren't Happy ~ LMAO

I watched the debate, some of the questions asked even had me with eyes wide open LOL I mean there were some things asked that you and I would have loved to have asked just to make them uncomfortable to the max and it did. heh heh

Obama was asked about asked about terrorist Bill Ayer. OMG it was great, of course he did the non answer thing. haha But still it really ticked him off. Obama won't call Ayers the terrorist he is!... just passed it off a something he did 40 years ago!

Obama mentioned BJ commuting the sentences of the PR bombers terrorists.

Questioned about the War:

Hilary: We don't know what will happen when we withdraw from Iraq, but we need to withdraw so we can fight in Afghanistan.

Obama: I'm pulling out of Iraq no matter what the generals tell me. I'm giving them a new mission: get out of Iraq.

Charlie asked the two You would pull out of Iraq even if the Generals advised against it. These two nitwits said YES!

Obama choking on having to vocalize support for Israel. Hillary dismissing the Israel part of the question.

Obama can't say one good word about this country. He truly does hate the USA.

Capital gains taxes

Charlie got Obama again. He will not admit that a lower tax rate means more revenue. He is a freaking economic idiot.

Obama would stimulate the economy by doubling the tax rate on capitol gains.

Hilary: I will only raise taxes to where they were in the Clinton Administration.

OBAMA: PAIN TRICKLES UP

say what? haha

The Second Amendment

Hillary says she will bring the 100,000 cops program.

Hillary: Will reinstate the assault weapons ban.

Obama was asked about gun control.....his reply......OMG

"Just because you have a right does not mean that the state or local government cannot constrain that right...”

Obama: “We can make sure criminals don’t have guns.”

Obama says just because you have right doest mean the GOV cant infringe on that right.

Hillary: I Will bring back the Assault Weapons Ban

Hillary: "I support sensible regulation"..."but I don't know the facts"

Operation Chaos is working. No Rush did not write the questions, but the thing is they are going at each other and that is what I want. I want the dem party to explode and for these two to do the work of showing the world how horrible they are.

The main thing to be said about the debate last night is the DU site. It is in an uproar to say the least.

ROTFLMAO ......Now these people well they ARE bitter. hahahha

They even asked Obama about the Lapel pin he won't wear and all he could say was...

Obama: " I wore one yesterday when a Veteran gave it to me. ....the questioning of my patriotism...is a distraction that keeps us away from the real issues."

Well where is it today then Obama????? LOL Because he does not want to wear one no matter what.

Lots of use of the *F* word. They are ticked to say the least. hahaha

Another Terrorist Endorses B.Hussein Obama aka Obama Akbar

Aaron Klein and John Batchelor interviewed Ahmed Yousef, chief political adviser to the Prime Minister of Hamas, on WABC radio.

Hamas has endorsed Barack Obama for President. Yousef said:

"We like Mr. Obama and we hope he will win the election." Why? "He has a vision to change America." Maybe Yousef has some insight into what Obama means by all these vague references to "change."

“I hope Mr. Obama and the Democrats will change the political discourse. … I do believe [Obama] is like John Kennedy, a great man with a great principal. And he has a vision to change America to make it in a position to lead the world community, but not with humiliation and arrogance,” Yousuf said, speaking from Gaza.

Yousef was asked about Obama's condemnation of Carter's visit with Hamas, but didn't seem troubled by it.

Hamas, he says, understands American politics; this is the election season, and everyone wants to sound like a friend of Israel. Nevertheless, he hopes that the Democrats will change American policies when they take office.

You can hear the entire interview HERE and then just click on the link at the site.

Wild Thing's comment........

Some other information on Ahmed Yousef:

In 1998, while serving as the executive director of the United Association for Studies and Research (UASR), Yousef gave an interview to the Middle East Quarterly in which he defended Hamas, suicide bombings and encouraged attacks on Jews. Asked if he wrote, "God has promised that the Muslims will fight the Jews and defeat them," Yousef answered that he did, and continued, “I took this from an authentic Islamic hadith (or tradition) that does not say when this defeat will happen or where. My objective in using this quote is to assure the Palestinian people that one day justice will be realized and to encourage them to continue their struggles with the assurance of victory against the occupation.”

Yousef fled the US in 2005 to avoid prosecution in the Fawaz Damra terrorist support trial and reappeared in Gaza as the official spokesman for HAMAS.

Obama Corrects 'Obama bin Laden' Slip ~ LOL

Obama Corrects 'Obama bin Laden' Slip

Sen. Barack Obama quickly corrected a slipup about his name Monday at the Associated Press' annual luncheon in Washington, DC.

Dean Singleton, board chair of the Associated Press and a longtime newspaper executive, asked Obama about the possibility of shifting troops into Afghanistan to fight against the al Qaeda leader.

"Can you imagine shifting a substantial number of Afghanistan -- a substantial number to Afghanistan where the Taliban has been gaining strength and Obama Bin Laden is still at large?" Singleton asked

Obama, clearly a bit agitated, quickly interrupted him, “I think that was Osama bin Laden,” the Democratic candidate said, and then took a big gulp of water from the glass next to the podium.

Singleton quickly apologized.

"If I did that I'm so sorry," he said.

“No, no, no, this is part of the -– part of the exercises that I’ve been going though over the last fifteen months,” Obama said, “Which is why it’s pretty impressive that I’m standing here.”

After the event, an embarrassed Singleton could be heard off camera, but on microphone, telling an unidentified man: "Can't believe I did that. I didn't think I did. But he said it so I assumed I did. So, certainly wasn't on purpose."

"Which is why it’s pretty impressive that I’m standing here.”

Obama sure is impressed with himself. haha

Ted Kennedy started it. Why doesn’t Barack-ack-ack-ack-ack echo sound) complain to him.

Here is the time Kennedy did it:

Obama Linked To 2004 Party At Rezko's Home

Obama linked to 2004 party at Rezko's home

Democratic presidential contender Barack Obama's name came up again at the Antoin "Tony" Rezko corruption trial and in a way that earlier filings in the case did not telegraph.

Stuart Levine, the prosecution's star witness, said he and Obama were at a party Rezko threw at his Wilmette mansion on April 3, 2004, for Nadhmi Auchi, a controversial Iraqi-born billionaire who Rezko was trying to get to invest in a South Loop real-estate development.

Auchi, now a citizen of the United Kingdom, has faced criminal charges in Europe. He also figured in the revocation of Rezko's bond early this year after attempting to wire him more than $3 million. Upon learning of that attempt, U.S. District Judge Amy St. Eve declared Rezko a flight risk and ordered him held in a federal jail in the Loop.

The Rezko party in 2004 was designed to induce Auchi to pour money into the South Loop investment. Obama's presence at the party was not previously known. At the time, Obama was fresh off a surprise win in the Illinois Democratic primary for U.S. Senate and was riding a crest of national publicity.

Wild Thing's comment.......

Tell me who you associate with and I’ll tell you what you are....the saying goes. Or you are who you associate with. Choose your friends carefully. There are more probably but they all are around for a good reason, because it is true.

From Wikipedia article on Nadhmi Auchi:

“Nadhmi Auchi was charged along with Saddam Hussein for conspiring to assassinate Iraqi President Abdul-Karim Qasim in 1959. Qasim was injured while his bodyguard was killed; Saddam managed to flee the country. Auchi was arrested for delivering weapons to the assassins but was later pardoned by President Qasim.”

Several US political fundraisers are currently on trial for corruption in connection with loans received from Auchi. Auchi is currently barred from entering the US by the state department as an undesirable alien.

Democrat B. Obama Silence On Carter Meeting Hamas

Mideast: Barack Obama refuses to criticize Jimmy Carter's meeting with Hamas. Is it because Carter may soon endorse him or because Obama once helped fund an organization opposed to Israel's existence?

"I'm not going to comment on former President Carter," Obama told reporters while campaigning in Indianapolis. "He's a private citizen. It's not my place to discuss who he shouldn't meet with. I know I've said consistently that I would not meet with Hamas."

Hamas is perhaps the only agent of terror and tyranny Obama has said he would not meet with as part of his promised "aggressive personal diplomacy." Obama has said he thinks "it's a disgrace we haven't talked" to the likes of Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, Kim Jong-il, Bashar Assad, Fidel Castro and Hugo Chavez. He has objected to the designation of Iran's Revolutionary Guard as a terrorist organization, which it is.

Why he would not be willing to talk to Hamas, which works for the destruction of Israel and showers its missiles on Israeli towns, but insists on talking to Iran, which wants to wipe Israel off the map and is developing the means to do so, is curious. We don't suppose it has anything to do with media reports that Jimmy Carter, along with Al Gore, have been pressuring Hillary Clinton to leave the race, or that Carter might soon endorse him.

Carter is more than a private citizen. He is an ex-president giving legitimacy to terrorist thugs.

"Carter can achieve something no one else can," Ahmed Yousef, the chief political adviser to Ismail Haniyeh, the deposed prime minister of the Hamas-led Palestinian government, told World Net Daily.

"If he comes and meets with Hamas, this will also enhance the image and understanding between America and the Muslim world." Certainly it will enhance the image of Hamas.

Obama's looking the other way regarding terror is not unprecedented. Among Obama's circle of friends is William C. Ayers, currently a professor of education at the University of Chicago and a former aide to Chicago's current mayor, Richard M. Daley. Ayers served with Obama on the board of the Woods Fund of Chicago and in 2001 donated $200 to the "Friends Of Barack Obama."

Back in the 1970s he was known as just Bill Ayers, a terrorist bomber with the Weathermen who was quoted in the New York Times as finding "a certain eloquence in bombs." Married to fellow Weathermen terrorist Bernadine Dohrn, he writes openly and without regret about his role in the 1974 bombing of the U.S. Capitol Building in which Obama now serves.

The Woods Fund in 2001 gave a $40,000 grant to the Arab American Action Network (AAAN), a group co-founded by anti-Israel Columbia University professor Rhashid Khalidi. The fund gave AAAN a second grant of $35,000 in 2002. One of AAAN's projects was a Palestinian art exhibit on what Palestinians call the "Nakba," or the "catastrophe," of Israel's founding in 1948.

Khalidi, according to WND, was a director of the official press agency for the Palestine Liberation Organization, WAFA, in Beirut, Lebanon, while the PLO was conducting terrorist attacks and called a terrorist organization by the U.S. government.

Khalidi has called Israel a "racist" state and an "apartheid state in creation." He has voiced support for Palestinian terror, saying suicide bombings for which Hamas is famous are a legitimate response to "Israeli aggression."

Obama's association with Khalidi was more than just a passing acquaintance. Khalidi lectured at the University of Chicago at the same time Obama taught law there. He held a fundraiser for Obama's failed congressional bid in 2000. Khalidi has praised Obama as "the only candidate who has expressed sympathy for the Palestinian cause" and praised him for "saying he supports talks with Iran."

Obama seems to have a propensity of associating with terrorists or those who support them and want us to talk with them. His pastor of two decades, the Rev. Jeremiah Wright, counted our "state terrorism against the Palestinians" as one of America's chickens coming home to roost on 9/11.

Khalidi would agree with Wright. Does Barack Obama?

Wild Thing's comment........

Interesting that Barack Hussein ignores American laws such as the Logan act which prohibits exactly what Carter is doing. So if B. Hussein Obama becomes president we can expect him to ignore whatever laws he doesn’t like.

"That boy's finger does not need to be on the button"

U.S. Rep. Geoff Davis

'That boy's finger does not need to be on the button'

U.S. Rep. Geoff Davis, a Hebron Republican, compared Obama and his message for change similar to a "snake oil salesman" [at a Northern Kentucky Lincoln Day dinner].

He said in his remarks at the GOP dinner that he also recently participated in a "highly classified, national security simulation" with Obama.

"I'm going to tell you something: That boy's finger does not need to be on the button," Davis said. "He could not make a decision in that simulation that related to a nuclear threat to this country."

An aide to Davis, Jeremy Hughes, declined to comment on the remark, and didn't dispute the accuracy of the quote.

UPDATE :

GOP Congressman Apologizes for Calling Obama 'Boy'

ABC News' Rick Klein Reports: A Republican House member Monday sent a letter of apology to Sen. Barack Obama, after calling him "boy" and comparing him to a "snake oil salesman" in attacking his national security credentials at a weekend fund-raising dinner in Kentucky.

According to a Lexington Herald-Leader blog item, Rep. Geoff Davis, R-Ky., said Saturday that he had recently participated in a "highly classified, national security simulation" with Obama, and said that exercise showed that Obama can't be trusted to make difficult decisions.

"I'm going to tell you something: That boy's finger does not need to be on the button," Davis said. "He could not make a decision in that simulation that related to a nuclear threat to this country."

The Obama campaign slammed the comments.

"It's hard to tell what is more outrageous -- Representative Davis' condescending and personal attack, or his absurd and offensive claim that Barack Obama is not prepared to defend America," said Bill Burton, an Obama campaign spokesman.

Davis and his office did not dispute the accuracy of the quote. In his letter to Obama, Davis, a former Army ranger first elected to Congress in 2004, wrote that he "used a poor choice of words when discussing the national security positions of the Presidential candidates."

"My poor choice of words is regrettable and was in no way meant to impugn you or the your integrity," Davis wrote. "I offer my sincere apology to you and ask for your forgiveness."

According to a Davis spokesman, Davis hand-delivered the letter to Obama's Senate office after returning to Washington on Monday.

Wild Thing's comment........

Its TRUE though! Obama's finger does NOT need to be on the button.

Age gives one a different definition of “boy and girl”. The word “boy” is not in and of itself a racist slur.
And Newfoundlanders call every male boy or buddy (pronounced “ bye” or “b’y”). I doubt any of them will be apologizing any time soon.

Good grief - I know the term “boy” can be taken as offensive when referring to a black male, but in my lexicon it's also just a plain term for any other man (usually but not necessarily youthful) - such as an athlete, a regular joe, a celebrity or politican, etc. It is sad to see the lexicon shrink out of PC fears.

The congressman should have said, “I was referring to his youthful immaturity, not his race. His overreaction is simply evidence of the immaturity I was referring to, and the type of intimidation that substitutes for discussion on the Left.”

Actually, it’s an insult to boys the world over to compare them with this effeminate fool.

Obama mocks Clinton's beer-shots

Obama mocks Clinton's beer-shot

PITTSBURGH

Barack Obama ridiculed rival Hillary Clinton for a shot-and-a-beer photo op over the weekend in Indiana as he sought to counter the controversy over remarks he made about “bitter” feelings in small-town America.

Clinton downed a shot of Crown Royal whiskey, hoisted a beer and ate a slice of pepperoni pizza Saturday night at a restaurant in Crown Point, Ind., after spending the day branding Obama’s remarks “elitist.”

But in a speech to a forum on manufacturing issues, at which Clinton is scheduled to appear later this morning, Obama blasted support during her husband's administration for free trade deals, suggesting her connection with working-class voters was political theater.

“Around election time, the candidates can’t do enough. They'll promise you anything, give you a long list of proposals and even come around, with TV crews in tow, to throw back a shot and a beer,” Obama said, stirring laughter from an audience of steelworkers and steel industry executives.

“But if those same candidates are taking millions of dollars in contributions from the PACs and the lobbyists, ask yourself, who are they going to be toasting once the election is over?” he continued.

The Clinton campaign responded with a statement e-mailed to reporters.

“With all due respect, this is the same politician who spent six days posing for clichéd camera shots that included bowling gutterballs, walking around a sports bar, feeding a baby cow, and buying a ham at the Philly market (albeit one that cost $99.99 a pound). Sen. Obama's speeches won’t hide his condescending views of Americans living in small towns," Clinton spokesman Phil Singer said in the statement.

Wild Thing's comment.......

LOL It's good to see these candidates spending their time discussing the serious issues affecting America's future in an adult fashion.

Democrat campaign = racists, put downs of working people, and beer -shots.

McCain: " Hillary Can Still Pull It Off"

McCain iand Hillary

Drudge

Republican presidential hopeful John McCain has confided to his inner circle that Hillary Clinton may yet be the Democratic nominee, the DRUDGE REPORT has learned, a development the senator from Arizona would personally welcome!

"Look, I know something about long odds, they had me written off last summer," McCain explained over the weekend, according to a top source.

McCain would prefer to go up against Clinton in the general election, insiders reveal.

He has instructed his campaign staff to "chill out" on countering Hillary Clinton's torrent of claims and promises as primary voting comes to an end over the next 6 weeks.

McCain made the tactical decision to downplay Clinton's tale of Bosnia sniper fire, leaving some McCain staffers frustrated and perplexed.

Instead, the critical focus has been on Barack Obama. McCain's official website features 14 press releases taking on Obama since the first of the year, only 3 for the former first lady.

Wild Thing's comment.......

Hitlary is Stalin in a pants suit.

I’m certain Hillary CAN pull it off, something Bill Clinton will painfully attest to.

Rev.Wright Comes Out Swinging At USA For Racism and Fox News

Rev. Wright Gives eulogy for former appellate Judge R. Eugene Pincham, a member of Wright's Trinity United Church of Christ

Obama Visits Billionaires Row

Rev. Jeremiah Wright told a congregation in Norfolk, Va., on Sunday that reporters sneaked into a private funeral service a day before, in which he blasted America’s founding fathers for slavery and white supremacy and received standing ovations for attacking FOX News for covering his anti-American sermons.

Wright's speech

Barack Obama’s retiring pastor delivered a sermon at Bank Street Memorial Baptist Church, where his late uncle had been the pastor, about overcoming trouble. The public appearance was his first since news broke that the Democratic presidential candidate’s pastor frequently rails on the United States.

“Some troubles that come up in your life come up out of nowhere,” Wright said. At the end of the two-hour-plus service, about two dozen ministers gathered around Wright and his daughter to pray for them. One of the ministers asked God to give Wright courage as “the world tries to demonize him.”

Though Wright said nothing about Obama or the uproar itself, he alluded to the controversy while briefly back in the pulpit Saturday to deliver a eulogy for a late congregant of Trinity United Church of Christ — former appellate judge R. Eugene Pincham.

Wright, who is on sabbatical before retiring from Trinity United, said America’s mistreatment of blacks is the result of the founding fathers, who “planted slavery and white supremacy in the DNA of this republic.”

First reported by The Chicago Sun Times, Wright told mourners at the funeral that Thomas Jefferson, who partook in “pedophilia,” would also be considered unpatriotic these days because he wrote, “God would punish America for the sin of slavery.” He also quoted Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, who said that the U.S. has a “congenital birth defect.”

Speaking of the seven lessons Pincham taught him, Wright said the judge’s faith “was not the jingoistic, chauvinistic ‘you’re either with us or against us’ demonizing kind of faith.”

“FOX News can’t understand that,” Wright said to rousing cheers and applause. “[Bill] O’Reilly will never get that. Sean Hannity’s stupid fantasy will keep him forever stuck on stupid when it comes to comprehending how you can love a brother who does not believe what you believe. [Pincham’s] faith was a faith in a God who loved the whole world not just one country or one creed.”

Wild Thing's comment.........

Keep it coming Wright baby. Wright on. Speak very clearly into the microphone. The whole world is watching you.

Can you believe he made these comments during a funeral? Good grief!!!

Hillary and Obama in Compassion Forum Tonight on CNN ~ WTF?

LMAO oh man what a name for yet another debate. hahaha Sorry I just can't help it. Compassion????

Ever since Bush used the term "Compassionate Conservative" which was BS and we knew it. I have lights flashing, sirens going off now whenever I hear the word used by a rino or a liberal.

Hillary and Obama are compassionate alright, and it is about lies and more lies.

Maybe after the week we have had with Obama and his speech abouto small town people etc. and Hillary going after him it will be more like a WWE event then a so called " compassionate forum".

PA Area Mayors Take Offense

Scranton, PA.

Time Tribune online

Small-town Pennsylvanians aren’t bitter; they’re optimists, steeped in family and tradition, and upset that Barack Obama would characterize them as gun-toting zealots.

That was the message Mayor Chris Doherty had at a news conference Saturday called to rebut comments recently made by Mr. Obama, D-Ill.

Mr. Doherty and supporters of Sen. Hillary Clinton, D-N.Y., including other mayors and union officials, rallied outside the county courthouse, saying Mr. Obama’s remarks reflect a disconnect.

“For a man who just spent six days crossing this state saying he was listening, obviously he wasn’t listening, because he missed us,” Mr. Doherty said.

At a fundraiser outside San Francisco, Mr. Obama said people in small-town Pennsylvania cling to guns, religion and anti-immigration sentiment because they are bitter about the Rust Belt economy.

Former Scranton Mayor Jim Connors said the remarks demean people here as hicks. Mr. Obama wants to transcend stereotypes, but then he stereotyped others, Mr. Connors said.

Standing in front of the John Mitchell statue, Mr. Doherty called hunting a tradition, borne not out of spite but culture and pride. The area’s churches, he said, were built on hopes of improving life and fostering families, not because the population here is downtrodden.

Mr. Doherty pointed to economic growth and investment. He said it’s necessary to combat that negative image.

“That’s not the truth,” he said.

At Mr. Doherty’s side were Mr. Connors and the mayors from Jessup, Taylor, Freeland and Moosic, along with New Hampshire state Sen. Lou D’Allesandro.

Taylor Mayor Richard Bowen said Mr. Obama’s comments hit home beyond Pennsylvania, and he predicts it will cost the senator voters who are on the fence.

Mr. Connors said what most offends him is that Mr. Obama said these things on the other side of the country behind closed doors. Mr. Connors bet Mr. Obama wouldn’t have made such remarks in Altoona.

Earlier in the day, Mr. Obama’s campaign held its own conference call. Mayor John Fetterman of Braddock said the underlying sentiment is sincere. Small-town Americans, he said, are frustrated and angry.

“Everyone acknowledges Mr. Obama may have slipped in different words if he could do it over again, but it’s not patronizing, it’s not condescending, it’s not elitism,” Mr. Fetterman said.

Efforts by the Times-Tribune to reach U.S. Sen Bob Casey Jr., who supports Mr. Obama, were not immediately successful Saturday.

Rosemary Boland, a Clinton delegate and president of the Scranton Federation of Teachers, said while she isn’t quite offended, she disagrees with Mr. Obama and finds the remarks immature.

“He should be very careful with his words and pick the right words to use,” she said.

Wild Thing's comment........

This outrage is growing and I am glad. Obama has been making a habit of saying things that are crossing the line and his wife too.

What Obama said was or should be offensive to every American that loves our country.

Obama is clueless and has no soul when it comes to understanding what made this country great. It sure as hell has not been the whiners and complainers like he is, it sure as hell has not been the racist's like he and his wife are that scream from pulpits and podiums during elections of wanting to change, Change what???? Change an America that has been just GREAT without the likes of Michelle and B. Hussein Obama that's what!

People like Obama have a lesson to learn and count on it he will NEVER learn this one.

The President of the United States of America is President of ALL Americans.
When the liberals get their way and make government bigger over it's citizens it effects all of us. When taxes go up it effects both dems and reps. not just one political party. And when a stupid, small minded, Soros and Muslim controlled freaking plant in our government makes a statement like Obama made and heck his wife too it concerns all of us.

When 9-11 happened there was not body count of how many Democrats there were, NOPE! But if Obama has been around I would make a bet he would be telling us how many there were and how awful it was to happen to the Democrats. Going by the statements and prejudice racist remarks out of the mouths of Michelle Obama and her arrogant race baiting husband they probably would be letting us know the amount of blacks in the Twin Towers that never made it out as well. Both Michelle and B. Hussein, are both a sad excuse of human beings.

Obama Visits Billionaires Row In San Francisco

"Obama was speaking those bitter word to on April 6th. It was the MOST wealthy of the wealthy in San Francisco .. the homes of 3 billionaires, as documented below. And the mainstream press were absent, because this sojourn was off calendar... not noted in news coverage (at least not truthfully about the contributors), no photos. But an enterprising sleuth captured some really good stuff, and, of course, someone in there taped it, which is how it got out at all.
A tiny smattering of media did in fact show up -- three local news crews stood across the street or down the block and used the Getty mansion as the backdrop for short segments about Obama's swing through the Bay Area.

Wait just a minute there. If you do the math, on just this one day in the Bay Area, Obama went to four events, three of which had $2,300 minimum donations per ticket, and the other $1,000 minimum per ticket. Each of the events, from the various descriptions, held as many as 400 people (the Getty mansion has a ballroom that reportedly seats at least 300). 400 x $2,300 = $920,000 per event, times three events = $2.76 million, plus the other event, which undoubtedly puts him over $3 million in contributions for this one day alone. And who knows how many other similar days he schedules in other parts of the country.

Michelle Obama (and other Obama campaign spokespeople) aren't telling the truth. It seems that a signficant portion of Obama's monthly campaign contributions are coming from "large donors"' -- i.e. rich people, not just the "$20 to $50" donations they're constantly bragging about. "

CLICK link below to see photos of the event with descriptions:

There is even a photo of the bomb squad being there to check out everything.

This body guard of Obama's sure looks like one of those Farrakhan´s body guard guys doesn't he?

B.Hussein Obama Responds To Comments By Hillary and McCain

TRANSCRIPT:

"When I go around and I talk to people there is frustration and there is anger and there is bitterness. And what’s worse is when people are expressing their anger then politicians try to say what are you angry about? This just happened – I want to make a point here today.
“I was in San Francisco talking to a group at a fundraiser and somebody asked how’re you going to get votes in Pennsylvania? What’s going on there? We hear that’s its hard for some working class people to get behind you’re campaign. I said, “Well look, they’re frustrated and for good reason. Because for the last 25 years they’ve seen jobs shipped overseas. They’ve seen their economies collapse. They have lost their jobs. They have lost their pensions. They have lost their healthcare.

“And for 25, 30 years Democrats and Republicans have come before them and said we’re going to make your community better. We’re going to make it right and nothing ever happens. And of course they’re bitter. Of course they’re frustrated. You would be too. In fact many of you are. Because the same thing has happened here in Indiana. The same thing happened across the border in Decatur. The same thing has happened all across the country. Nobody is looking out for you. Nobody is thinking about you. And so people end up- they don’t vote on economic issues because they don’t expect anybody’s going to help them. So people end up, you know, voting on issues like guns, and are they going to have the right to bear arms. They vote on issues like gay marriage. And they take refuge in their faith and their community and their families and things they can count on. But they don’t believe they can count on Washington. So I made this statement-- so, here’s what rich. Senator Clinton says ‘No, I don’t think that people are bitter in Pennsylvania. You know, I think Barack’s being condescending.’ John McCain says, ‘Oh, how could he say that? How could he say people are bitter? You know, he’s obviously out of touch with people.’

“Out of touch? Out of touch? I mean, John McCain—it took him three tries to finally figure out that the home foreclosure crisis was a problem and to come up with a plan for it, and he’s saying I’m out of touch? Senator Clinton voted for a credit card-sponsored bankruptcy bill that made it harder for people to get out of debt after taking money from the financial services companies, and she says I’m out of touch? No, I’m in touch. I know exactly what’s going on. I know what’s going on in Pennsylvania. I know what’s going on in Indiana. I know what’s going on in Illinois. People are fed-up. They’re angry and they’re frustrated and they’re bitter. And they want to see a change in Washington and that’s why I’m running for President of the United States of America.”

Wild Thing's comment.........

Obama is proving he not only went to Wright’s church, but heard and soaked in every message to heart and that is how he views the world.
And about Hillary, calling Obama elitist...this coming from the woman who would not allow people to look at her as she stomped her way through the halls of the White House. The woman who called the military guards at the White House, "pigs".

This coming from the woman who had to have a special commode built for her while she traveled China when she was first lady that cost over $25,000.

Elitist, Hillary Clinton does not even give a tip to some minimum wage paid waitress.

America and American's DO NOT DESERVE THESE TWO pieces of slim.

He's running out of excuses. Obama wasn't merely nodding off in the church audience. These were very detailed and condescending comments.

It’s finally coming to the surface-his relationships with Jeremiah Wright and Billy Ayers were warning signs-now he and his wife are really beginning to spew out their own hateful beliefs.

Obama is a racist, baby-terminating, crotch-saluting, America-hating, looney-pastor worshiping, campaign-speech-stealing liar.

Obama's Family ~ Not Like Yours and Mine

Obama's Militant Muslim 1/2 Brother Abongo Is Luo

In this Obama Family photo are: (bottom row, from left) half-sister Auma, her mother Kezia Obama, Obama's step-grandmother Sarah Hussein Onyango Obama and unknown; (top row, from left) unknown, Barack Obama, half-brother Abongo (Roy) Obama, and three unknowns ( Sun Times)

Barack Obama stands behind Kezia (stepmother) in a Kenyan family shot. Included in the photo is brother Abongo "Roy" Obama who is a Luo activist and a militant Muslim who argues that the black man must "liberate himself from the poisoning influences of European culture."

"Abongo's new lifestyle has left him lean and clear-eyed, and at the wedding, he looked so dignified in his black African gown with white trim and matching cap that so me of our guests mistook him for my father," Obama wrote in Dreams From My Father.

If Obama left Islam, Obama must have very definite thoughts about it. Obama would have had to make a decision to reject Islam. When did he make that decision? How? Why the silence? Why the reluctance to talk about it?

Apostasy is punishable by death in Islam. Have there been calls for Obama's death? If not, why not? Islam gives no free passes. A few that have left Islam are quite vocal - Wafa Sultan, Ayaan Hirsi Ali, Walid Shoebat, Elijah Abraham. These people have had their lives threatened.

Barack Obama's cousin Raila Odinga is accused of ethnic cleansing and is currently battling for power in Kenya.

Barack has stated his support for Luo Opposition Leader in Kenya RaRaila Odinga (who signed a Shariah pact with Muslims and claims to be Obama's cousin) and is married to Ida Odinga. They have four children - two sons and two daughters. His oldest son, Fidel, is named after Fidel Castro.

Raila Odinga has signed a pact to institute sharia when he takes power after the current bloody coup.

Odinga is a Marxist who reportedly has made a pact with a hard-line Islamic group in Kenya to establish Shariah courts throughout the country. He has also vowed to ban booze and pork and impose Muslim dress codes on women -- moves favored by Obama's brother.

Barack Obama's cousin Raila Odinga is charged with ethnic cleansing by Kenyan officials.

President Mwai Kibaki was declared the winner of the 27 December poll, but the results were rejected by the opposition and called into question by international observers.

A supporter of the presidential challenger Raila Odinga

More than 600 people have died in unrest since, and another quarter of a million have been driven from their homes.

In an interview last week with the BBC's HARDtalk programme, Ms Karua said the government had suspected that Mr Raila Odinga's ODM party was "planning mayhem if they lost".

But she said they had not expected "the magnitude [of the violence] and for it to be ethnic cleansing".

Barack Obama's cousin and Kenyan Opposition Leader Raila Odinga (BBC)

In 1991, when Obama joined the Trinity United Church of Christ in Chicago, he pledged allegiance to something called the Black Value System, which is a code of non-Biblical ethics written by blacks, for blacks.

It encourages blacks to group together and separate from the larger American society by pooling their money, patronizing black-only businesses and backing black leaders. Such racial separatism is strangely at odds with the media's portrayal of Obama as a uniter who reaches across races.

The code also warns blacks to avoid the white "entrapment of black middle-classness," suggesting that settling for that kind of "competitive" success will rob blacks of their African identity and keep them "captive" to white culture.

In short, Obama's "unashamedly black" church preaches the politics of black nationalism.

Obama has close family ties to Kenya, and even founded a school in his ancestral village -- the Senator Obama School.

In the bloody conflict there, which already has claimed some 700 lives, Obama appears to have sided with opposition leader Raila Odinga, head of the same Luo tribe to which Obama's late Muslim father belonged.

Obama's older brother still lives there. Abongo "Roy" Obama is a Luo activist and a militant Muslim who argues that the black man must "liberate himself from the poisoning influences of European culture." He urges his younger brother to embrace his African heritage.

Beyond family politics, these ties have potential foreign policy, even national security, implications.

With al-Qaida strengthening its beachheads in Africa -- from Algeria to Sudan to Somalia -- the last thing the West needs is for pro-Western Kenya to fall into the hands of Islamic extremists.

Yet Obama interrupted his New Hampshire campaigning to speak by phone with Odinga, who claims to be his cousin. He did not speak with Kenyan President Mwai Kibaki.

Would Obama put African tribal or family interests ahead of U.S. interests?

He denies being Muslim, however, and says he "embraced Christ" while answering the altar call 20 years ago at Trinity. (Contrary to anonymous e-mail rumors circulating, Obama never took the oath of office on the Quran. He used a Bible, and Vice President Dick Cheney swore him in during his Senate ceremony.)

This merely raises another concern, beyond that of the controversial church he chose to baptize him. If Obama were ever Muslim, even as a youth, he would now be viewed as an apostate, which in radical Islam is punishable by death. As Mideast expert Daniel Pipes has noted, a President Obama could be the target of a fatwah.

Still, his Muslim heritage is not the signal issue before the electorate. It's his Afrocentric church, which preaches black socialism and black nativism, and his family ties to an African tribe that's fanning the flames of Marxism and militant Islam in a country once considered strongly democratic and a friend of the U.S.

"I believe in the power of the African-American religious tradition to spur social change," Obama has asserted. He also says his faith has led him to question "the idolatry of the free market."

How Raila acquired his billions.

Raila Odinga’s big break came in 2001 soon after he led his party, NDP, into a merger with KANU, the then ruling party. As Energy Minister in Moi’s government he was introduced to the family of Sheikh Abdukeder AlBakari, one of the richest families in Saudi Arabia with interests in petroleum drilling, petroleum exploration and export in the Middle East, Asia, USA and Africa.

Through the Saudi contacts,Raila was initiated into the lucrative world of oil business and soon enough he had joined the league of gig independent oil importers via his firm Pan African Petroleum Limited.

Industry sources say that one of the things that helped Raila make a quick buck in the oil business was a concessionary petroleum deal he struck with the Al Bakri Group where he was not only incorporated as a silent partner in the local arm of Al Bakri International but was also supplied with petroleum products from Saudi Arabia at subsidized prices which his firm would sell in the market at normal prices. That way,Raila was able to deftly beat the competition in oil business by occasional price undercutting.

While still Energy Minister,Raila re-established and nurtured his links with the Libyan government of Colonel Muammar Gadaffi where again he not only did good business in oil importation but also got substantial material support during the 2002 general elections.

A. K. Al Bakri & Sons Holding is the Saudi group headed by President & CEO Abdulkader Al Bakri, which has more outlets, subsidiaries and other companies than one can easily count. One of the prime contracts they would get is for the supply of jet fuel to Nairobi Airport, which allowed for undercutting of the competition there.

This is the very same Abdulkader Al Bakri listed as a defendant in the First Amendment Complaint suit brought by various insurance companies against al Qaeda and associated organizations and individuals.

Within that suit is mentioned documents (known as the Golden Chain document) picked up by Bosnian police on a raid on a charitable front organization for al Qaeda in Sarajevo. One of the listed documents is the "Tareekh Osama" ("Osama's History") in which Abdulkader al Bakri aka Abdel Qader Bakri gets a prominent listing:

ABDEL QADER BAKRI (ABDULKADER [AL] BAKRI)
CEO, Bakri Group of Cos
CEO, Al Bakri International Power Co. Ltd (Jeddah, Saudi Arabia)
CEO, Al-Bakri Shipping Group (Jeddah, Saudi Arabia)
CEO, Alkhomasia Shipping and Maintenance Company Ltd (Jeddah, Saudi Arabia)
CEO, Red Sea Marine Services (Jeddah, Saudi Arabia)
CEO, Diners Club International (Jeddah, Saudi Arabia)
Bakri Group formed in April 2002 a JV with the Malaysian International Shipping
Corporation (MISC) to operate in Middle-East countries, including Yemen. MISC leased
super tanker MT Limburg when it was attacked on October 6, 2002, coming from Ra's
Tannura (Saudi Arabia).

And then particular to one of the bin Laden brothers:

WAIL (WAEL HAMZA JULAIDAN)
Former Secretary General of the Muslim World League and Rabita Trust in Pakistan,
designated by the United States Treasury as SGDT
Receives donations from Suleiman Al Rashid, Abdulkader Bakri, Salahuddin Abduljawad,
Abdul Tahi Taher

So, when a man like Raila Odinga is linked with Abdulkader al Bakri, you are not making a minor connection, but one directly into al Qaeda. Such are the vagaries of making political bedfellows in other Nations.

Then there is Raila Odinga's Memorandum of Understanding with the Moslems in Kenya to turn the Nation into an Islamic State.

This Memorandum was dated and signed on August 29, 2007, between Raila Odinga and Shiekh Abdullah Abdi, chairman of the National Muslim Leaders Forum of Kenya.

Here are just a few of them:

b) Within 6 months re-write the Constitution of Kenya to recognize Shariah as the only true law sanctioned by the Holy Quran for Muslim declared regions.

c) With immediate effect dismiss the Commissioner of Police who has allowed himself to be used by heathens and Zionists to oppress the Kenyan Muslim community.

g) Within one year facilitate the establishment of a Shariah court in every Kenyan divisional headquarters. [Note: everywhere in Kenya, not just in "Muslim declared regions

Wild Thing's comment.........

Isn’t Obama’s family just great? Obama and Odinga support each other’s “insurgency” candidacies. Obama goes to Kenya, campaigns for his cousin and calls Kenya’s government corrupt, and, along with our State Dept., pushes Kenya into a coalition government with Odinga, who has attempted several coups against the government of Kenya, and now will be working from the inside to deliver Kenya to the Islamo-fascist NAMLEF, and the Eurasian Axis of Russia, Red China, Iran, etc

Obama is not merely related to this SOB Odinga which would be something he could not help, but CAMPAIGNED for him.

Obama Logo ~ Make Your Own ~ LMAO

and this one .......

Wild Thing's comment........

LOL you can make your own B. Hussein Obama logo. hahahaa

I made the two that you see above.

It is funny because obviously THIS is not what they had in mind with their idea at their website to support the jerk Obama. heh heh

http://logobama.com/

Here is what it says at their website:

"We’ve been noticing a trend of people displaying their support for Barack Obama’s Democratic presidential campaign by using his logo as their avatar, or visual representation on the web. We thought, “what can we do to show our support?” So we created Logobama, a place for you to create your own custom Obama logo and use it wherever you want. As Obama says, “we are the change we have been waiting for.” That’s what Obama is representing... someone who wants all of us to participate in changing the world. And together, we can make this change, one logo at a time.

B.Hussein Obama on small-town PA: Clinging religion, guns, xenophobia

B. Hussein Obama's remarks at a San Francisco fundraiser Sunday

Here is the link to the VIDEO

Full transcript:

OBAMA:

"So, it depends on where you are, but I think it's fair to say that the places where we are going to have to do the most work are the places where people are most cynical about government. The people are mis-appre...they're misunderstanding why the demographics in our, in this contest have broken out as they are. Because everybody just ascribes it to 'white working-class don't wanna work -- don't wanna vote for the black guy.' That's...there were intimations of that in an article in the Sunday New York Times today - kind of implies that it's sort of a race thing.
Here's how it is: in a lot of these communities in big industrial states like Ohio and Pennsylvania, people have been beaten down so long. They feel so betrayed by government that when they hear a pitch that is premised on not being cynical about government, then a part of them just doesn't buy it. And when it's delivered by -- it's true that when it's delivered by a 46-year-old black man named Barack Obama, then that adds another layer of skepticism.

But -- so the questions you're most likely to get about me, 'Well, what is this guy going to do for me? What is the concrete thing?' What they wanna hear is so we'll give you talking points about what we're proposing -- to close tax loopholes, uh you know uh roll back the tax cuts for the top 1%, Obama's gonna give tax breaks to uh middle-class folks and we're gonna provide healthcare for every American.

But the truth is, is that, our challenge is to get people persuaded that we can make progress when there's not evidence of that in their daily lives. You go into some of these small towns in Pennsylvania, and like a lot of small towns in the Midwest, the jobs have been gone now for 25 years and nothing's replaced them. And they fell through the Clinton administration, and the Bush administration, and each successive administration has said that somehow these communities are gonna regenerate and they have not. And it's not surprising then they get bitter, they cling to guns or religion or antipathy to people who aren't like them or anti-immigrant sentiment or anti-trade sentiment as a way to explain their frustrations.

Um, now these are in some communities, you know. I think what you'll find is, is that people of every background -- there are gonna be a mix of people, you can go in the toughest neighborhoods, you know working-class lunch-pail folks, you'll find Obama enthusiasts. And you can go into places where you think I'd be very strong and people will just be skeptical. The important thing is that you show up and you're doing what you're doing."

Wild Thing's comment.........

O.K. this guy totally creeps me out. This is what he really thinks too! He is a POS! This is arrogance of the highest form. I’m surprised he didn’t add the phrase “Typical white people.” at the end of his remarks.

For one thing it is small town America that has built this country, kept it strong and is the heart and soul of our Nation.

Obama hates the America we have, like all the leftists his love is of the America they intend to create after they tear this one down.
Isn't it obvious Obama hates religion? No one would place religion in that list of "negative" things unless they totally disrespect believers.

Same goes for daring to oppose illegal immigration, in Obama's mind. And in supporting the 2nd amendment.

Obama did this in his "race" speech as well - referring to perfectly wholesome things like anti-crime sentiment as somehow being bad things resulting from capitalism.

Add to this his view of "babies" as a punishment.

Obama holds bizarre left wing views through and through. His view of small town America itself is frightening. Decent people are "clinging" to religious belief because of capitalism.

Funny, Obama watched Rev Wright rant like a clown for twenty years, but that brand of religion never troubled him.
Obama views all mainstream traditional views as diseases to be eradicated.

Even Juan Williams in FNC channel a little while ago, maybe an hour or soe was talking about how stupid these comments were especially when coupled with the not wanting his daughters “punished with a baby” comments.

****** Please read Mark's comment in the post below this one, it is excellent and it comes from somoene that lives in PA.******

....Thanks Mark for the heads up about what he said.

Soros and David Brock Plan $40 Million Hit On McCain

Music: Manfred Mann's Earth Band - Blinded By The Light

David Brock, Dems plan $40M hit on McCain

Politico for complete article !!

Wealthy Democrats are preparing a four-month, $40 million media campaign centered on attacks on Senator John McCain. And it will be led by David Brock, the former investigative reporter who first gained fame in the 1990s as a right-wing, anti-Clinton journalist.

The planned campaign is the product of a shakeup in the top ranks of the struggling independent Democratic groups. Brock, now best known as the ex-conservative founder of the liberal group Media Matters, last month quietly assumed the chairmanship of what's expected to be the main vehicle for independent Democratic attacks on McCain, now called Progressive Media USA.

The move comes after the groups that had been expected to spearhead attacks on McCain – the Fund for America and Progressive Media USA's previous incarnation, the Campaign to Defend America – failed to raise the money needed to dent McCain's armor.

"We're a little behind where we need to be," he said.

But after a dinner Tuesday night at the Manhattan apartment of liberal megadonor George Soros, at which Brock and the consultant Paul Begala laid out the group's plans, Brock said his group now has commitments worth $7.5 million – almost twice what the Fund for America is expected to report raising in the first quarter of this year. He said the group would begin running ads before it meets its $40 million goal.

Brock suggested that the group could do the work of a press corps that, he says, has "fallen down on the job" when it comes to McCain.

Brock's remarkable emergence as a leader of the Democratic party's shadow campaign efforts marks a milestone in a long personal journey that began in the early 1990s with the notoriety he gained from magazine stories written for The American Spectator, a conservative monthly. Among his controversial articles was one alleging that Bill Clinton had used Arkansas state troopers to facilitate his philandering, a piece that set the wheels in motion for Paula Jones to file suit against Clinton for sexual harassment. In 1993, Brock authored The Real Anita Hill, a critical book about the woman who accused Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas of sexual harassment.

Brock later apologized to Clinton in a public letter and broke publicly with the conservative movement. He wrote about his disillusionment in his 2002 memoir Blinded by the Right, and Hillary Clinton later helped him establish Media Matters, which criticizes reporters for alleged right-wing "misinformation."

Brock is now seen in political circles as closer to Senator Hillary Clinton's campaign than to Senator Barack Obama's, but Brock said he has already met with former Senate Majority Leader Tom Daschle, a close Obama ally.

Wild Thing's comment........

Well this will be interesting to say the least. The deal is made and Paul Begala will consult with political mercenary David Brock backed mostly by Soros to go after McCain who thanks to Rick Davis McCain's Campaign Manager is also funded by Soros indirectly through various groups.

This is weird because McCain is also on the Soros dime, not as much as Hillary and certainly not as much as B. HUSSEIN Obama. Soros has covered himself every which way.

a post I did months ago
McCain and Connections To Soros ~ Ugly Stuff

So let's see the admitted liar David Brock... or the flaming homosexual David Brock... or the greedy propagandist David Brock... or the Marxist David Brock is joining with communist/socialist America hater Soros who is known for hedging his bets are in political "bed " together.

The Dems are still smarting over the fact that a group of Swift Boat Vets proved their candidate in 2004 was a serial liar.

Through McCain-Feingold, John McCain can truly be said to have fed the hand that bites him.

Photo of Brock with Barney Frank

What we know too is that Hillary wants this so bad she can taste it. She and Bill never were never punished for their many crimes, 'gates", suspicious deaths of those that came in contact with them, but even so she is not someone to mess with.

Obama has turned this election into a total race card, and that is UGLY anyway it is done. The terrorists want him to be elected as we saw in the video of the Palestinians doing what they can do gain support of Obama.

Besides being such an important election for the future of America it sure is turning out to be a truly ugly one and we still have months to go.

Hand Picked Crowd To Sit Behind Speaker Michelle Obama "get me more white people"

Michelle Obama arrived at Skibo Gymnasium to the cheering of a crowd of students from Carnegie Mellon and community members from all over Pittsburgh. She spoke specifically of her husband’s campaign. (image credit: J.W. Ramp/Photo Editor)

Michelle Obama speaks at presidential rally in Skibo Gym

The Tartan

by Andrew Peters

Only a week after her husband drew throngs to Soldiers and Sailors, Michelle Obama wooed a small crowd at Skibo Gymnasium on Wednesday.

Helping Students for Obama lead the crowd in cheers of “Ready to go” was Steve Sovern, a professional mediator from just outside of Cedar Rapids, Iowa, who got excited enough about the campaign to travel to Pennsylvania and rally for Mrs. Obama. Sovern, alongside student volunteers, built up a palpable excitement around Mrs. Obama’s speech.

“I’ve been here since 11 a.m. setting up and it’s been amazing. It feels like [Barack] Obama is coming,” said sophomore social and decision sciences major Rotimi Abimbola, a leader of Students for Obama who had only a few days to coordinate the event.

“Get me more white people, we need more white people.” To an Asian girl sitting in the back row, one coordinator said, “We’re moving you, sorry. It’s going to look so pretty, though.”

“I didn’t know they would say, ‘We need a white person here,’ ” said attendee and senior psychology major Shayna Watson, who sat in the crowd behind Mrs. Obama. “I understood they would want a show of diversity, but to pick up people and to reseat them, I didn’t know it would be so outright.”

Mrs. Obama was introduced by Teresa Heinz Kerry, wife of former Democratic presidential hopeful Sen. John Kerry (D–Mass.), who endorsed Mr. Obama’s candidacy in South Carolina last January.

Heinz Kerry stressed the similarities between Mr. Obama and her late husband John Heinz III, the popular senator from Pennsylvania. She remarked that she has become friends with Mrs. Obama, mainly from exchanging messages on their Blackberries.

Mrs. Obama spoke about her husband’s triumphs over adversity throughout his life, focusing on the decisions he had made that, she said, set him apart from his opponent, Hillary Clinton. As the first black editor of the Harvard Law Review, Mrs. Obama said, Mr. Obama could have been successful in the private sector, but chose to go into community organization instead.

“When you’re given the gift of advocacy, you don’t sell it to the highest bidder,” Mrs. Obama said. Mrs. Obama stressed how her husband has relied on “regular folks” instead of big donors.

Instead of thousand-dollar donations, the Obama campaign has raised millions on small checks of $20 to $50. Mrs. Obama sees this participatory attitude as a new trend.

“Folks have been engaged in a way they have not been before. People sit around the TV with their 5-year-olds watching debates.”

Mrs. Obama was careful to note that the Obamas, both of whom are Harvard-educated lawyers and who together own a million-dollar home in Illinois, grew up under difficult conditions.

“In my house, there were no miracles. All I saw was hard work and sacrifice,” Mrs. Obama said, speaking of her youth. “My father did not complain and went to work every single day.”

Most of Mrs. Obama’s statements were met with cheers and enthusiastic support, especially the televised crowd, many of whom were long-time fans of Mr. Obama.

One attendee, Joanne Plummer, a resident of Wilkinsburg, has been waiting a long time for an Obama presidency.

“Four years ago, when I first saw him speak for Kerry, I just knew — this man will be president,” Plummer said.

Wild Thing's comment........

Oh my gosh! I always thought they set up seating for the camera to show a varied support for a candidate, but I never heard anyone that would say it like that in my life. LOL

There just isn't an ounce of class in the left for either of the candidates or their mates. And I will include their staff as well.

Obama Comes Out Against Concealed Carry

Obama Comes Out Against Concealed Carry

by Amanda Carpenter

Barack Obama is embracing anti-gun policies in the run-up to a Democratic presidential debate scheduled on the one-year anniversary of the Virginia Tech shootings.

“I am not in favor of concealed weapons,” Obama told the Pittsburgh Tribune. “I think that creates a potential atmosphere where more innocent people could (get shot during) altercations.”

These remarks break from Obama’s previous moderate rhetoric on gun control.

While campaigning in Idaho in February, Obama promised, “I have no intention of taking away folks’ guns.”

Obama elaborated later that month in a political forum sponsored by ABC News and the Politico.

He said: “I think it's important for us to recognize that we've got a tradition of handgun ownership and gun ownership generally. And a lot of law-abiding citizens use it for hunting, for sportsmanship, and for protecting their families. We also have a violence on the streets that is the result of illegal handgun usage. And so I think there is nothing wrong with a community saying we are going to take those illegal handguns off the streets. And cracking down on the various loopholes that exist in terms of background checks for children, the mentally ill. We can have reasonable, thoughtful gun control measure that I think respects the Second Amendment and people's traditions."

Obama’s tough talk on gun control may be prompted by Philadelphia-based Democratic leaders who are pressuring Clinton and Obama to adopt harder stances on gun control. This issue is expected to come up in ABC News’ Democratic debate on April 16 in Philadelphia. 32 people were shot to death on the campus of Virginia Tech by Seung-Hui Cho April 16, 2007.

Obama’s new hardline liberal position differs from his Democratic rival Hillary Clinton and GOP candidate John McCain, who both are for concealed-carry.

The Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms (CCRKBA) said in a statement Obama should apologize and revise his stance.

“Barack Obama ignorantly believes that legally-armed Americans are as reckless and irresponsible as the criminals with whom his political sympathies evidently law,” said CCRKBA Chairman Alan Gottlieb. “He has been insisting for months he supports the Second Amendment right to keep and bear arms, but here he is now campaigning in Pennsylvania, stating essentially he would prefers Americans not exercise that right.”

Wild Thing's comment.......

“While a complete ban on handguns is not politically practicable...”

So he WOULD try to ban handguns. It just isn’t “politically practicable” ( at this time )

“I am not in favor of concealed weapons,” Obama told the Pittsburgh Tribune. “I think that creates a potential atmosphere where more innocent people could (get shot during) altercations.”

Nope. Just line up and be shot like good little sheep.

"And so I think there is nothing wrong with a community saying we are going to take those illegal handguns off the streets."

And those folks with illegal handguns...are just gonna turn them in too. What a total idiot! It’s hard to bear arms, if you can’t carry them. Obama is an idiot, an idiot who can’t understand the concept of the 2nd Amendment, private property or freedom.

How many times must these liberal gun grabbers be told that it is not the gun that kills people... It is the bad people that kill other people... and if you make it illegal for good and responsible people to carry guns it will do nothing at all to stop the bad people from killing the good people with their illegal concealed guns.

....Thank you Mark for sending this to me.

Another Radical Hanoi Jane Joins The Obama Cult Worshippers

What are the unique issues affecting Muslim Americans?

Fonda was eating out last night and exited the restaurant, ignoring as celebrities often do the assembled press contingent.

But a video camera was rolling as she approached the street and someone, perhaps just trying to get her to turn around for a picture, shouted out at her back, "Who are you going to vote for?"

There was a moment of silence. Then, the actress did turn around toward the cameras, paused and with a smile said simply, "Obama!" Then she got into a car and drove away.

Wild Thing's comment......

And here I thought she would back Hillary.

Let's see Hillary said she was getting shot at. Hanoi Jane rode a tank in Vietnam and pretended to shoot down American pilots.

What wonderful people these are....NOT!

Jane was busy cavorting with the North Vietnamese Communists in Hanoi around the same time Obama was studying the koran with the Mullahs in Indonesia.

We have seen Hillary's 3:00 a.m. call

We have seen B.Hussein Obama's 3:00 a.m. call

And now McCain has his 3:00 a.m. call

Every time I see one of them all I can think of is this great song sung by Frank Sinatra.

One for My Baby
Lyric by Johnny Mercer, Music by Harold Arlen, 1943)
from the motion picture The Sky's the Limit

It's quarter to three, there's no one in the place
Except you and me,
So, set 'em' up Joe, I've got a little story
You oughta know.

We're drinking my friend, to the end
Of a brief episode
Make it one for my baby
And one more for the road

I got the routine, so drop another nickel
In the machine,
I'm feelin' so bad, I wish you'd make the music
Dreamy and sad,

Could tell you a lot, But you've got to be
True to your code,
Make it one for my baby
And one more for the road.

You'd never know it, but buddy I'm a kind of poet
And I've gotta lot of things to say,
And when I'm gloomy, you simply gotta listen to me
Until it's talked away.

Well, that's how it goes, and Joe I know you're getting
Anxious to close,
So, thanks for the cheer,
I hope you didn't mind
My bending your ear

This torch that I've found, must be drowned
Or it might explode,
Make it one for my baby
And one more for the road,
That long, long road.

Obama Would Consider Gore for Major Post

Breitbart.com

WALLINGFORD, Pa. (AP) - Democrat Barack Obama says as president he would consider putting Al Gore in a Cabinet-level position—or higher.

A woman at a town hall asked the Illinois senator if elected president would he consider tapping the former vice president for his Cabinet, or an even higher level office, to address global warming.

"I would," Obama said. "Not only will I, but I will make a commitment that Al Gore will be at the table and play a central part in us figuring out how we solve this problem. He's somebody I talk to on a regular basis. I'm already consulting with him in terms of these issues but climate change is real."

Gore, who's work on climate change earned him a Nobel Prize, he is popular among Democrats.

Wild Thing's comment........

Gore invented the internet ....ya know.LOL

The only improvement Al Gore could see would be a cave with energy efficient dead people.

Muslim Americans Recommendations For Obama

From Obama's campaign website:

QUESTION: What are issues and recommendations for solutions that are unique to Muslim Americans?

1. A Law against harrassment of a Muslim women wearing Hijab at the Airport, DMV and other public arenas.

2. Institute a Law to allow Muslim Employees to take a hours off from work for Friday Jummah Prayer.

3. Make the 2 Eid's, recognized National Holidays on Calendars with days off from work.

4. Optional Halal meals in federal buildiings, public schools and colleges.

5. Provide prayer areas suitable for Salah and Jummah, in public and private facilities. (i.e. Malls, Airports, Universities and government buildings.)

6. Organize a Muslim American group to assist in recommendations for US foreign policy affecting majority Muslim countries.

Wild Thing's comment.......

There list is also open for more suggestions. AUGH! If Obama wins we will probably see most public places made into Muslim friendly places.

Obama Survey Says

Interesting article from Capt. ED and Politico

Politico has caught Barack Obama in another misstatement about his past, and this one goes right to the heart of his posing as a New Politics candidate. Working on a tip from opposition sources, Kenneth Vogel found a survey with Obama’s handwriting that he had previously denied handling. It shows that Obama himself established much more liberal positions on gun control, abortion, and other issues than he has admitted in his campaign:

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’s 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 non-profit 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 adding to one answer.

In 1996, Obama ran as a political unknown, although one with friends in high places — friends like Tony Rezko, William Ayers, and Bernadette Dohrn. He wanted the endorsement of Independent Voters of Illinois, a group in which he and his campaign manager had worked in the past. The survey was an important part of IVI’s vetting process, and Obama needed to make sure that it had the answers he needed for the endorsement.

So what were Obama’s positions in 1996, according to the questionnaire that bears his handwriting?

* Opposed to parental notification on abortions. He amended this to say that he might possibly support it for 12- or 13-year-olds, but no older.

* Flatly opposed the death penalty, a position he denied ever having.

* Supported bans on the sale, possession, and manufacture of guns, again a position he denied ever taking.

Those positions won’t even fly with a large number of Democrats, let alone in a general election. The Hillary Clinton campaign has already begun making the argument to superdelegates that Obama holds extremist views so out of touch with the American electorate that he can’t possibly win in November. The questionnaire will bolster that argument, especially on guns, where the Democrats had tried to soften their stance since Al Gore lost his home state of Tennessee in 2000.

The Obama campaign’s response to Politico has to be read to be believed:

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.
“Sen. Obama didn’t fill out these state Senate questionnaires – a staffer did – and there are several answers that didn’t reflect his views then or now,” said Tommy Vietor, a spokesman for Obama’s campaign, in an emailed statement. “He may have jotted some notes on the front page of the questionnaire at the meeting, but that doesn’t change the fact that some answers didn’t reflect his views. His eleven years in public office do.”

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.

Wild Thing's comment........

I agree with Capt. Ed, there are some Democrats that will not lilke Obama's answer on guns.

Obama promises the world to his sheep, but they better wake up and see what they are voting for.

* Hot Air ....Capt. Ed

Obama: Let's stop "air-raiding villages & killing civilians"

Wild Thing's comment........

People that are cowards show their true selves if we let them talk enough. This was said awhile back but I just now found the video that had the exact clip of what he said that I was looking for.

Of all the things about Obama that we have learned so far this tops it for me. His obvious hate for white people, to, his thinking Farrakhan is a great leader, his saying that the call to prayer for Islam is the most beautiful thing he has ever heard, his association to the Black Panthers and the list goes on and on.

What he said is no different then what Murtha said about the Marines, and what Hanoi Kerry said when he came back from Vietnam. This quote will be what should be tattooed on Obama's forehead as a mark of the beast that he is. A quote that will stick with him for the rest of his life and into eternity. And this man wants to be President of the United States of America. God help us, America and our troops.

We have already seen in the video:

Barack Obama: There Will Be Bamboozling
http://www.theodoresworld.net/archives/2008/03/barack_obama_there_will_be_bam.html

Notice the many things Obama has used from others speeches instead of coming up with his own. There is no harm in quoting someone else, but for his massive use of others quotes, speeches etc. it sure as heck shows he has no ability to discuss almost everything without the words of others. OH unless it is to call his Grandmother a "typical white person" or did he steal that one too maybe from Rev. Wright.

Great leaders, like Reagan, Chesty , Patton and others they have their own and have been handed down through the years with deep respect and admiration. This will never happen to B. Hussein Obama even his mantra of "Change" is a bunch of BS and certainly not original.

More Obama racist friends: The Black Panther

And here are some of Obama's past racists quotes:

"I ceased to advertise my mother's race at the age of 12 or 13, when I began to suspect that by doing so I was ingtegrating myself to whites,"

"I found solace in a sense of grievance and animosity against my mother's race,"

"The other race (White) would always remain just that: Menacing, Alien and Apart,"

"It was into my father's image, the Black man, the son of Africa, that I'd packed all the attributes I sought in myself,"

"That hate hadn't gone away, blaming white people,"

"My grand mother was a typical white person."

Wild Thing's comment........

Shaking my head, what horrible people. There sure isn't any way to argue or debate with them. But putting them on TV for all the world to see how awful they are is an excellent idea.

McCain's World Affairs Council ~ foreign policy speech

McCain speech to the Los Angeles World Affairs Council foreign policy speech)

OR Let's call it Listen to the rustling bones of our forefathers

Full Text of McCain's Speech can be found HERE

MCCAIN: We can't build an enduring peace based on freedom by ourselves, and we do not want to. We have to strengthen our global alliances as the core of a new global compact, a league of democracies that can harness the vast influence of the more than 100 Democratic nations around the world to advance our values and defend our shared interests. At the heart of this new compact must be mutual respect and trust.

Wild Thing: We are the leader of the free world. We owe it to ourselves to protect and maintain our own freedom and we must do that by ourselves. We cannot subject our freedom to the possibility we may not have allies in one of our quests around the world. That's one of the things that conservatism has always been strong about, but obviously not McCain.

MCCAIN: Our great power does not mean we can do whatever we want, whenever we want, nor should we assume we have all the wisdom and knowledge necessary to succeed. We need to listen, we need to listen to the views and respect the collective will of our Democratic allies. When we believe international action is necessary, whether military, economic, or diplomatic, we will try to persuade our friends that we are right. But we in return must be willing to be persuaded by them.

Wild Thing: So let's see if other countries think we are wrong even if it is the best decision for OUR country we are supposed to listen to other counties and let them influence us greatly. We are to allow them to change our minds.

MCCAIN: America must be a model citizen if we want others to look to us as a model. How we behave at home affects how we are perceived abroad. We must fight the terrorists and at the same time defend the rights that are at the foundation of our society. We can't torture or treat inhumanely suspected terrorists we have captured. I believe we should close Guantanamo and work with our allies to forge a new international understanding on the disposition of dangerous detainees under our control.

Wild Thing: You ALL know how I feel about closing GITMO. This kind of thinking of McCain is dangerous and unnecessary to say the least. The prisoners there eat well, sleep just fine, get treated better then ANY POW ever has from our country.

MCCAIN: We need to about good stewards of our planet and join with other nations to help preserve our common home. The risks of global warming, the risks of global warming have no borders. We in the other nations of the world must get serious about substantially reducing greenhouse gas emissions in the coming years, or we will hand off a much diminished world to our grandchildren. We need a successor to the Kyoto treaty, a cap-in-trade system that delivers the necessary environmental impact in an economically responsible manner. We Americans must lead by example and encourage the participation of the rest of the world.

Wild Thing's comment: Bush and even Clinton NEVER signed the Kyoto treaty. Hello!! McCain what does that tell you when even the scum draft dodger, Flag burner Clinton didn't even sign it.
MCCain is NOT a leader, not a leader of men, not meant to be a leader of a country and sure as hell is not meant to be a leader of the most powerful country in the world. A leader can say NO when proof has shown this stupid Kyoto treaty is a farce, a joke and a total mess.

MCCAIN: Americans north and south share a common geography and a common destiny. The countries of Latin America are the natural partners of the United States, and our northern neighbor Canada.

Wild Thing: He is still insisting that we be compassionate to illegal aliens.Common destiny? If McCain has his way we’ll be just another latino speaking 3rd world country. A huge percent of Mexicans will not learn English. Many who have been here for years and attended school will not learn English. The cost factor of the illegals here are bleeding the hospitals tens of millions of dollars a year.

MCCAIN: I hold my position because I hate war, and I know very well and very personally how grievous its wages are. But I know, too, that we must sometimes pay those wages to avoid paying even higher ones later on. I run for president because I want to keep the country I love and have served all my life safe and to rise to the challenges of our times as generations before us rose to theirs.

Wild Thing: Oh wait is this John Kerry ooops nope it is John but this John is McCain.
I realize that radical Islam is primed to take over 5 continents and we do and will need friends, other countries to join us in this war against Islam terrorists. But being strong, taking a stand garners respect also much more the catering and kissing up to natiions that are NOT our friends even when we have done all we can for them. Sometimes a hand out causes resentment NOT respect. And yes sometimes it causes gratitude, but that is what we have to see in the future as we have from our past associations and friendships with other countries.

As I read McCain's speech I wept at the lows that this nation has been brought to. We have a nominee that is so disgustingly wrong. I wonder if the Romans of the late empire also recognized that their world was collapsing and that they were being lead by a bunch of egotistical, mediocre half-wits.

Yes he will be OK with our troops and that is VERY important to me. But on mostly everythihg else McCain is just not the man for the job. I know we have no other choice on our side of the fence. That is one reason I LOVE the Operation Chaos that Limbaugh came up with. Voting for Hillary has sent the Democrat party into a frenzy of anger, confusion and fighting back and forth among themselves. LOL That is truly fun to see on the nightly political talk shows.

And while McCain SAYS he'll prosecute the war tooth and nail, he says nothing about securing our Southern border, pushes for amnestying people who break our laws, forces our continued dependence on foreign oil by refusing to support drilling in ANWAR and wants to close Guantanamo. Until he says those things, it's obvious he isn't really serious about the war.

McCain's speech simply put is a total turn off to what I feel and think as a conservative. God Help Us All and America.

The communists have achieved their goal by infiltrating both political parties in the US. THIS is indeed a fact.

Lest we forget:

The Declaration of Independence of the Thirteen Colonies

In CONGRESS, July 4, 1776

The unanimous Declaration of the thirteen united States of America,

When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.

That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, --That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.

Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed.

But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security. —Such has been the patient sufferance of these Colonies; and such is now the necessity which constrains them to alter their former Systems of Government.

"Damn America" Pastor Wright Gets $1.6M Home in Retirement

Obama’s Former Pastor Getting $1.6M Home in Retirement

http://election.newsmax.com/williams_obama/?s=al&promo_code=4780-1

By Jeff Goldblatt

This was supposed to be the week that the Rev. Jeremiah Wright Jr. returned to the pulpit to preach for the first time since his anti-American sermons generated nationwide outrage and drew condemnation from his longtime parishioner, Barack Obama.

But, citing security concerns, Wright canceled his speaking engagements in Florida and Texas. A spokeswoman at his former church in Chicago said his schedule is pending.

A two-week FOX News investigation, however, has uncovered where Wright will be spending a good deal of his time in retirement, and it is a far cry from the impoverished Chicago streets where the preacher led his ministry for 36 years.

FOX News has uncovered documents that indicate Wright is about to move to a 10,340-square-foot, four-bedroom home in suburban Chicago, currently under construction in a gated community.

While it is not uncommon for an accomplished clergyman to live in luxury, Wright’s retirement residence is raising some questions.

“Some people think deals like this are hypocritical. Jeremiah Wright himself criticizes people from the pulpit for middle classism, for too much materialism,” said Andrew Walsh, Associate Director of the Leonard E. Greenberg Center for the Study of Religion in Public Life with Trinity College in Hartford, Conn.

“So he’s entitled to be tweaked here. So the question really is, how unusual is this? Somewhat unusual,” he said.

According to documents obtained from the Cook County Register of Deeds, Wright purchased two empty lots in Tinley Park, Ill., from Chicago restaurant chain owner Kenny Lewis for $345,000 in 2004.

Documents show Wright sold the property to his church, Trinity United, in December 2006, with the proceeds going to a living trust shared with his wife, Ramah.

The sale price for the land was just under $308,000, about $40,000 less than Wright’s original purchase two years earlier.

Public records of the sale show Trinity initially obtained a $10 million bank loan to purchase the property and build a new house on the land.

But further investigation with tax and real estate attorneys showed that the church had actually secured a $1.6 million mortgage for the home purchase, and attached a $10 million line of credit, for reasons unspecified in the paperwork.

There is apparently nothing wrong with that, according to non-profit tax expert Jack Siegel of Charity Governance Consulting, who examined public documents FOX News obtained from the Cook County Register of Deeds and the Village of Tinley Park.

“At least looking at it from a public document standpoint, there’s clearly not a problem that jumps out or some sort of wrongdoing,” Siegel said.

Siegel characterizes the transaction as unusual, however, because of the way Wright sold the property to Trinity and the way the deal was financed, with the attached $10 million line of credit.

Because churches are classified as private businesses, Trinity isn’t required to reveal its intended use for the line of credit. Nor, because it’s a non-profit entity, is it required to provide that information to the IRS.

A spokesman for ShoreBank, the Chicago-based financial institution that secured mortgages for the loans, said the deals were aboveboard.

Wright did not respond to repeated calls for comment, and Trinity United refused to discuss the specifics of the home it is building for him and the way the deal was financed.

The church referred FOX News to its denominational headquarters in Cleveland, which provided a statement of support:

“It is customary and appropriate in many Christian denominations, including the United Church of Christ, for local churches to offer housing provisions for retiring clergy, especially in cases where pastors have served long-term pastorates. We support efforts by our 5,700 local churches to ensure that retiring pastors and spouses have continuing housing, adequate pension and health care, as an expression of our continuing appreciation for their years of service. Each local UCC congregation is free to honor a retiring pastor in ways it feels most appropriate to address the needs of that clergyperson’s circumstances,” wrote the Rev. J. Bennett Guess, spokesman for UCC’s national office.

“This is about how these kinds of churches work,” notes Walsh. “These pastors who made big successful churches are real valuable commodities. Is it morally wrong? Well, Protestants don’t have the idea that their religious leaders should live modestly or aesthetically. We’re not talking Buddhist monks or Catholic priests here. There’s no tradition that says they have to live poor.”

Tradition at Trinity United centers on a congregation that’s unashamedly black and unapologetically Christian, according to the church’s website. There are also no apologies from the church for the home it’s building for its former senior pastor, who nurtured a religious empire that grew to have more than 8,000 congregants.

Wild Thikng's comment........

LMAO well here we have the ole hated American dream that Wright attacked in his sermons. Too funny!!

If Wright was a wonderful man of God, that taught the Gospel, how God wants us to be the best we can be for Him and for ourselves too as a person. To be kind to others and slow to anger etc. All the things the Bible teachers, then I would cheer him on for a beautiful home. But he has spent a lifetime of hating my awesome country, spreading and spewing hate of a white race that has never as far as I know been out to get him, hang him, make him a slave or anything close.

He has damned my country and NO one does that and get's away with it. I will never wish him well, I will never be happy for him in any way. He is evil and that is all he is as a man, as a citizen and as a minister or hate.

Growing up the church we went to the minister was an awesome man. He had moved to America from Toronto, he was originally born in Scotland, he had been a hockey player and then went to school to become a minister. He fell in love, got married and adopted two children from the same place that I was adopted from. He was a fantastic preacher, a caring person and well loved and respected.

We would have church ice skating parties and he would love to skate again and was so good too especially since being a hockey player in his past. We all loved it when he would really let himself have fun and watched him do a lot of the fancy skating and spins etc. He would skate with his wife and kids too and they had such fun.

I mention this because he was of course given a home to live in as pastor of our church. It was a very nice house, in a safe and clean neighborhood with good schools for his children. His wife worked in her garden and it was beautiful. The house was not a mansion but that would have been ok too.

I don't care if Wright has a mansion it is the man that concerns me. His character and that is lacking in the most devastating way. He is without any good character and has done much harm to those with mush brains that soak in all his hate he preachers. That to me is sad and very scary. And his damning America is unforgivable.

....Thank you Les for sending this article to me.

Free Kittens

Little Suzy had a box of very small kittens that she was trying to give away, so she had them out on the street corner with a sign 'FREE KITTENS' next to them. Suddenly a long line of big black cars came up with a policeman on a motorcycle in front. The cars all stopped and a tall man stepped out from the biggest car. 'Hi, little girl, what do you have there in the box?' he asked.

'Kittens' Little Suzy says. 'They're so small, their eyes are not even open yet.'

'What kind of kittens are they?' he asked.

'Democrats' says Little Suzy. The tall man smiled, returned to his car and they drove away.

Sensing a good photo opportunity, Sen. Obama called his campaign manager and told him about the little girl with the kittens. It was planned that they would return the next day, have all the media there and tell everyone about these 'democrat' kittens.

The next day, Little Suzy is standing out on the corner with her box of kittens with the 'FREE KITTENS' sign and the big motorcade of black cars pulled up with all the vans and trucks from ABC, NBC, CBS and CNN. Everyone had their cameras ready and then Sen. Obama got out of his limo and walked up to Little Suzy. 'Now don't be frightened,' he said, I just want you to tell all these nice news people just what kind of kittens you're giving away today.'

'Yes sir,' Suzy said, 'they are all REPUBLICAN kittens.'

Taken by surprise, Sen. Obama said, 'But yesterday you told me they were DEMOCRATS.'

Little Suzy says, 'Yes, I know. But, today they have their eyes open.'

LOL I love this, it is funny but also makes an excellent point too.

Michelle Obama Bashes America at USC

"It's easier to hold on to your own stereotypes and misconceptions, it makes you feel justified in your own ignorance...That's AMERICA"

From January of this year by Michelle Obama to students at the University of South Carolina, presumably just before their primary. It shows how Mrs. Obama can utter some truth but put it in such a tone-deaf manner that she obscures the truth with hostility and sneering condescension. In this case, she starts by challenging students to actually embrace diversity by having the courage to reach beyond their social comfort zones, and winds up calling America ignorant:

"We don’t like being pushed outside of our comfort zones. You know it right here on this campus. You know people sitting at different tables- you all living in different dorms. I was there. You’re not talking to each other, taking advantage that you’re in this diverse community. Because sometimes it’s easier to hold on to your own stereotypes and misconceptions. It makes you feel justified in your own ignorance. That’s America. So the challenge for us is are we ready for change?"

Wild Thing's comment.......

She has certainly flunked her 'training' to be First Lady.

Princeton - - then Harvard Law - - earns $360,000 per in a figurehead job - - married to a U. S. Senator and presidential candidate.

Yup, she sure has a lot to complain about. Just wait until she’s First Lady! She’ll still be bitching about how tough it is to be black in America.

Rev. Jeremiah A. Wright Cancels Florida Appearance

Rev. Earl B. Mason Sr. addresses the press from the sanctuary of Bible-Based Fellowship Church of Temple Terrace. ( Tampa news)

A Florida church has canceled an appearance by Rev. Jeremiah A. Wright Jr., citing security concerns and the anticipation of a media circus.

According to media accounts, Rev. Earl Mason told reporters at a press conference Tuesday that he asked Wright to stay in Chicago instead of lead a three-day revival celebrating the 10th anniversary of the Bible-Based Fellowship Church of Temple Terrace.

The revival was to be Wright’s first public appearance since his remarks that were critical of, among other issues, American domestic and foreign policy surfaced on the Internet.

Wright has been a longtime staple at church revivals around the country. He has made regular appearances at the Temple Terrace church because of his longtime friendship with Mason.

The Rev. Earl Mason cited security concerns and said the three-night revival featuring Wright was turning into an "event" and media circus, rather than the celebration of the church's 10th anniversary that it was intended to be, so Mason asked him to stay in Chicago.

Tampa police said the department was prepared for Wright’s visit and did not recommend the event be canceled.

The Tampa Police Department was prepared to handle the visit from the time he landed at the Tampa International Airport, through the event and until his departure from our city,” the recording said. “We were surprised to hear of his cancellation."

According to police, officers had scouted the location, gathered intelligence and put a security plan into place employing both patrol and plainclothes officers. “We had additional officers on standby if there was any unusual activity or threats,” the recording said.

Wright is scheduled to receive an award from Brite Divinity School in Fort Worth, Tex. on Saturday after contributing to a panel discussion about the state of the black church.

Wild Thing's comment.....

This is so funny, democrats just cannot tell the truth if their life depended on it. Last night this story was on local TV news. The police said just like the article above that they had done the preparation to be ready for whatever could happen. Then the news played a video of the minister of the church , Rev. Earl Mason, and he said the church cancelled Wright's visit because the church could not get the police to say they would protect them and give them security. The only thing the police told the church they would have to take care of getting their own security for would be the parking lot. I guess the church did not want to spend the money for that part of it.

But why the lie, that the police said no. I am glad though it is better that he does not come to Florida, he can stay far away with his rantings as far as I am concerned.

My guess is though that Obama's campaign told Wright NOT to have any speaking engagements for awhile so we will see if Wright goes to Texas or not or will they cancel that one too.

Obama's Blind Spot on Race and Character

Frances Rice - Chairwoman of National Black Republicans Association and Retired from the Army in 1984 after 20 years of active service.

Obama's Blind Spot on Race and Character

By Frances Rice
Her blog, The Black Republican

(Frances Rice, a lawyer and retired Army Lieutenant Colonel, is the chairman of the National Black Republican Association )

In his Philadelphia speech on race, Senator Barack Obama justified his 20-year relationship with his anti-American pastor, Rev. Jeremiah Wright, by castigating as racist a host of people, including his own white grandmother who he later lambasted as a "typical white" racist. Conspicuously omitted from Obama's culpability list is the architect of modern day racismthe Democratic Party.

Obama's failure to even mention the Democratic Party's racist past, while confessing that he lied about when he first heard Rev. Wright's hateful rants, calls into question Obama's character and judgment. The shocking words of Rev. Wright can be heard by viewing the video:

Without flinching, Rev. Wright damned his own country, declaring that innocent Americans deserved to be killed by Islamic terrorists on September 11, 2001.

Since Obama refuses to end his ties to Rev. Wright and has put forth a false face as a presidential candidate, we need to look behind the mask and examine his past to see the real Barack Obama.

Obama's Slave-owning Relatives

Notably, in his speech, Obama mentioned the slavery history of the family of his wife, Michelle. He failed to say one word about the unsavory slave-owning past of his own white relatives. Historical records uncovered by researchers and posted on the Internet at: http://www.freedomsenemies.com/_more/obama.htm show that Obama's maternal forbearers were slaveholders. In fact, one of Obama's ancestors, George Washington Overall, owned two slaves as is recorded in the Nelson County, Kentucky 1850 Census. The same records show that another one of Obama's ancestors, Mary Duvall, also owned two slaves. All of Obama's slave-owning forbearers were Democrats.

Obama, following in the footsteps of his white ancestors, is also part of the Democratic Party that: (1) fought to keep blacks in slavery; (2) started the Ku Klux Klan to lynch and terrorize Republicansblack and white; (3) passed the discriminatory Black Codes and Jim Crow laws; (4) fought every piece of civil rights legislation from the 1860's to the 1960's; and (5) attacked Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and other civil rights protesters with skin-burning fire hoses and vicious dogs.

While hiding the racist past of the Democratic Party, Obama refuses to give credit to the Republican Party that: (1) started in 1854 as the anti-slavery party and fought to free blacks from slavery; (2) amended the Constitution to grant blacks freedom, citizenship and the right to vote; (3) started the NAACP to stop the Democrats from lynching blacks; (4) passed the civil rights laws of the 1860's that were overturned by the Democrats when they took over Congress in 1892; (5) founded the HBCUs; (6) started affirmative action enforcement in 1969 to help blacks get jobs and contracts based on merit; and (7) fought the Democrats for over six decades until Republicans finally achieved passage of the civil rights laws of the 1950's and 1960's under the leadership of Republican Senator Everett Dirksen of Illinois.

It defies logic for Democrats to claim that, after Republicans spent over 100 years fighting the Democrats on behalf of blacks and finally won, all the racist Democrats suddenly rushed into the Republican Party. In fact, those racist Democrats declared that that they would rather vote for a "yellow dog" than a Republican because the Republican Party was known as the party for blacks. Facts about the racist past of the Democratic Party can be found in such books as A Short History of Reconstruction by Dr. Eric Foner, Unfounded Loyalty by Rev. Wayne Perryman, Bamboozled by Angela McGlowan, and Wrong on Race by Bruce Bartlett.

Exposed in these books are the facts that the chief opponents of the landmark 1964 Civil Rights Act were Democrat Senators Sam Ervin, Albert Gore, Sr. and Robert Byrd, a former member of the Ku Klux Klan. Democrat President Lyndon Johnson is applauded as a proponent of civil rights. However, in his 4,500-word State of the Union Address delivered on January 4, 1965, Johnson mentioned scores of topics for federal action, but only thirty five words were devoted to civil rights. He did not mention one word about voting rights.

Democrat President John F. Kennedy is lauded as a civil rights advocate. In reality, Kennedy voted against the 1957 Civil rights Act while he was a senator, as did Democrat Senator Al Gore, Sr. After he became president, John F. Kennedy opposed the 1963 March on Washington by Dr. King that was organized by A. Phillip Randolph who was a black Republican. President Kennedy, through his brother Attorney General Robert Kennedy, had Dr. King wiretapped and investigated by the FBI on suspicion of being a Communist in order to undermine Dr. King.

In an effort to shift the racist past of the Democratic Party to the Republican Party, Democrats point a finger at Republican President Richard Nixon for his so-called "Southern Strategy." These same Democrats expressed no concern when the racially segregated South voted solidly for Democrats; yet unfairly deride Republicans because of the thirty-year odyssey of the South switching to the Republican Party that began in the 1970's. Nixon's "Southern Strategy" was an effort on his part to get fair-minded people in the South to stop voting for Democrats who did not share their values and were discriminating against blacks. Georgia did not switch until 2004, and some Southern states are still controlled by Democrats, including Louisiana until the 2007 election of Republican Bobby Jindal, a person of color.

Democrats also castigate Senator Trent Lott for his remarks about Senator Strom Thurmond in a blatant attempt to unfairly paint the Republican Party as a racist party. Where was the outrage when Democrat Senator Christopher Dodd praised former Ku Klux Klanner Democrat Senator Robert Byrd as someone who would have been "a great senator for any moment," including the Civil War. Notably, Senator Thurmond was never in the Ku Klux Klan and, after he became a Republican, defended blacks against lynching and the discriminatory poll taxes imposed on blacks by Democrats. If Senator Byrd and Senator Thurmond were alive during the Civil War, and Byrd had his way, Thurmond would have been lynched.

Obama's Muslim Connections

While not denying the basic facts about his Muslim connections, Obama and his defenders parse words, Clintonesque style, in a blatant attempt to discredit anyone who raises the issue. It's important to scrutinize Obama's Muslim background to determine if his Islamic past influences his decisions and actions toward America, including his decision to select an anti-American pastor as his spiritual advisor.

Obama readily exhibits his disdain for our country by refusing to wear an American flag lapel pin. Obama was also photographed with his back turned to our flag and his hands clasped defiantly in front of him during the saying of the pledge of allegiance.

Now that his relationship with Rev. Wright has been exposed, Obama is trying to deceive the public by giving speeches with American flags being used as props in the background.

To more fully understand the extent of Obama's Muslim experiences and how this connection influences his attitude about America, we need to examine some basic, undisputed facts.

Obama was born on August 4, 1961 in Honolulu, Hawaii, and his full name is Barack Hussein Obama. He is named after his father who was born on the shores of Lake Victoria in Alego, Kenya. Obama's father was raised as a Muslim and married a white American woman, Anna Dunham of Wichita, Kansas while both were students at the University of Hawaii. Obama's parents divorced when he was two years old, and when he was six years old, his mother married an Indonesian oil company executive named Lolo Soetoro, who was also a Muslim and who introduced Obama to Islam.

The family moved to Jakarta, Indonesia, the world's most populous Muslim country, where they lived for five years from1968 through 1973. Obama first attended a Catholic school for three years. In that school's documents, Obama is listed under the name Barry Soetoro as an Indonesian citizen, and his religion is listed as Islam. Later, Obama attended a Muslim school where he received Islamic religious training before he was sent back to America to live with his maternal grandmother while his mother and his half-sister, Maya, stayed in Indonesia.

Obama's half brothers and sisters in Nairobi, Kenya are Muslims. His step-grandmother, Sarah Hussein Obama, is a lifelong Muslim who said: "I am a strong believer of the Islamic faith." In an April 30, 2007 New York Times interview, Obama's half-sister, Maya Soetoro-Ng who now lives in Hawaii, said: "My whole family was Muslim, and most of the people I knew were Muslim."

Obama, while describing his 1992 wedding, admitted that he was proud of his brother, Roy, who chose Islam over Christianity. "The person who made me proudest of all," Obama wrote, "was Roy. Actually, now we call him Abongo, his Luo name, for two years ago he decided to reassert his African heritage. He converted to Islam, and has sworn off pork and tobacco and alcohol."

If Obama were not a Muslim from the time his religion was recorded in Indonesia as Islam until he "converted" to Christianity, then what was he for 27 years? We, as citizens, have a right to know this information about the man who wants to be our next president.

Obama's Legislative Actions

Considering Obama's Islamic connections, it is not surprising that he introduced a bill in Illinois called "Islamic Community Day" which proclaimed that November 1, 1997 would be the South Shore Islamic Community Center Day.

Obama's other legislative actions in Illinois demonstrate that he is a liberal Democrat who puts left-wing ideology before the best interest of the people.

Incredibly, Obama opposed four times the Born Alive Infant Protection Act that would have prohibited a baby that was born alive from being left to die, simply because the mother said she wanted the baby to die. He also sided with the Democratic Party's radical pro-abortion special interest group by opposing a bill that defines as a "person" a fully born baby who survives an abortion.

Obama was the only member of the Illinois Senate who voted against a bill that prohibited the early release of sexual predators. He also refused to vote for a bill that would have increased penalties for drug traffickers. Obama voted against a bill that made it a criminal offense for convicts to have contact with a street gang while out of jail on bail or on probation. He even voted against a bill that would have delivered the death penalty to gang members who murder first responders. Obama sent a shock wave throughout the state of Illinois when he voted to make a criminal out of a homeowner who was forced to use a gun to defend himself in his own home.

As a US senator, Obama voted against the minimum wage bill. Now, Obama is on the presidential campaign trail promising to increase the minimum wage. What a hypocrite.

Obama and Black Poverty

Obama, in his Philadelphia speech, loudly denounced the deplorable conditions in black communities. Yet, he said not one word about the fact that those communities have been run by Democrats for the past 40 years. The socialist policies of the Democrats have fostered a culture of dependency on government handouts and turned those communities into economic and social wastelands. Obama also rails against the failure to educate black children. However, he gives a pass to teachers' union special interest groups that are responsible for black children not being educated. Those groups are aligned with the Democratic Party and are against school choice opportunity scholarships that would help black parents get their children out of failing schools. Liberal teachers act against the best interest of black children because they want to keep control of the buildings, and thus the money, but the money belongs to the people, not the buildings.

The root cause of the grinding poverty in black communities that is ignored by Obama is well documented by black Democrat Juan Williams in his book entitled Enough: The Phony Leaders, Dead-End Movements, and Culture of Failure That Are Undermining Black America.

Comments by Juan Williams about how Obama, a rich, half-white Harvard educated man, is using the black community for partisan political gain can be seen at:

The sad truth is that Obama is one of those phony, socialist Democrats who wants to push on the rest of America the failed socialist policies that have devastated black communities.

Obama and Corruption

Just coming to light are the sleazy facts about Obama's relationship and shady real estate deal with Antoin "Tony" Rezko, the Arab-American fundraiser and immigrant from Syria. Rezko has been a friend of Obama's since his days at Harvard, and Rezko was recently indicted for corruption, found guilty of skipping bail and sent to prison.

The details of the Obama-Rezko deal are astonishing and involve the purchase of Obama's Edwardian-style mansion in Kenwood, an up-scale section of Chicago where Nation of Islam Minister Louis Farrakhan also lives. When Obama sought to buy the grand house, the former owner refused to sell unless Obama also agreed to buy the adjoining land which Obama apparently could not afford. Obama's friend, Rezko, came to the rescue and bought the adjoining land for $625,000, even though the property could not be accessed from the public street. This cleared the way for Obama to buy the mansion for $1,650,000, about $300,000 less than the asking price. Then, six months later, Obama bought one-sixth of Rezko's property for $104,500. All of these financial dealings raise questions about whether Rezko subsidized the purchase of Obama's mansion in violation of ethical rules.

Also, campaign contribution records show that Rezko made substantial contributions to Obama's 2000 campaign for Congress. A recent report in a British newspaper, The Times, shows that in May 2005, Rezko was loaned $3.5 million by Fintrade Services, a Panamanian company controlled by Nadhmi Auchi, an Iraqi-born British billionaire. This is the undeclared loan that landed Obama's friend and bagman, Rezko, in jail.

We ignore the stench of corruption that surrounds Obama at our peril.

As citizens, we must ask ourselves whether Obama has the character and judgment to be our president. Unfortunately, the answer is no.

What an awesome writer and a beautiful woman as well, add in to that factor a an Army Veteran and it make me so happy to see this blog post she made. She walks us through so many things about Obama and many things I never knew.

This writing of Frances Rice goes along with what we all have talked about here at Theodore's. How if only the blacks wanting to vote for Obama or any Democrat would just realize that the Democrat party is NOT their friend. It truly has been their enemy.

New Obama Pastor Charges Rev. Wright Victim Of 'Lynching'

Easter Sermon, New Obama Pastor Charges Rev. Wright Victim Of 'Lynching' Compares him to Jesus

Obama warns of "Quiet riot among blacks"...:

CHICAGO

The new pastor of Barack Obama’s church delivered a defiant defense of its retiring reverend Sunday, comparing media coverage of Rev. Jeremiah Wright Jr. to a modern-day lynching that resembles Jesus’ death at the hands of the Romans.

In a sunrise Easter sermon, Rev. Otis Moss III never mentioned Wright by name, but implied that his mentor, who has delivered sermons in which he likened the U.S. to the Ku Klux Klan and declared it damned for its “state-sponsored terrorism,” is facing the same challenges Jesus did.”No one should start a ministry with lynching, no one should end their ministry with lynching,” Moss said.

“The lynching was national news. The RNN, the Roman News Network, was reporting it and NPR, National Publican Radio had it on the radio. The Jerusalem Post and the Palestine Times all wanted exclusives, they searched out the young ministers, showed up unannounced at their houses, tried to talk with their families, called up their friends, wanted to get a quote on how do you feel about the lynching?” he continued.

The criticism surrounding Wright has not softened the services at Trinity United Church of Christ, where Obama has been a congregant for 20 years. Instead, Moss defiantly defended their method of worship, referencing rap lyrics to make his point.”If I was Ice Cube I’d say it a little differently — ‘You picked the wrong folk to mess with,’” Moss said to an enthusiastic congregation, standing up during much of the sermon, titled “How to Handle a Public Lynching.”

Wright’s sermons were criticized for casting the country as institutionally racist and Obama sharply condemned Wright’s remarks as racially divisive in a high-profile speech Tuesday, though the candidate would not renounce the pastor himself. Church officials said Wright, who is now on sabbatical and entering retirement after nearly 40 years of service with the church, was not attending any service Sunday.

Obama and his family were spending Easter on vacation and also were not attending services.

Though the church recently moved a once-prominent section on its Web site about the “Black Value System,” the congregation still describes itself as “unashamedly black and unapologetically Christian.” A plaque states this prominently behind the front desk.

The sermons Sunday, which kept references to Wright as a common thread, implied that the firestorm over Wright’s remarks has taken the church’s teachings out of context.

Bishop Vashti Murphy McKenzie, the first female bishop in the AME Church, also delivered a sermon, in which she talked about visionaries like King and Gandhi and “Jeremiah” (it was unclear whether she meant Wright), and argued that their words weren’t about “anger,” but about “a passion that demands confrontation.”

“The purveyors of information are trying to be judge and jury over prophetic utterances,” she said.

The church program handed out Sunday also included an essay called “Not on My Watch” from the Rev. Samuel B. McKinney of Mount Zion Baptist Church in Seattle. McKinney said he was “greatly disturbed” by the “media feeding frenzy that has tarnished everyone in the process.”

“Dr. Wright represents the best among us … An attack on this man of God is an attack on all those of the cloth who believe in the social Gospel of liberation. And I will not stand for it,” he wrote.

Moss issued several pleas to congregants to donate to what he called the “Resurrection Fund,” stressing that during this time of battle, money is needed to defend the church. He offered no additional specifics about the fund, telling churchgoers he didn’t want to get into it because Trinity is streaming the service live on the Web and the services are available for purchase on DVD.

He concluded with another analogy, saying, “In order to crucify him you’ve got to lift him up … he had more visibility on the cross than he did during his entire ministry.”

Wild Thing's comment.....

Hmmm... where was this “church” and this pastor and B.Hussein Obama when Clarence Thomas was being " lynched" ? THAT what a media/leftist lynching really looks like, in case they need help identifying it.

Jeremiah A. Wright

discover the network

* Longtime pastor and spiritual mentor of Barack Obama
* Considers the U.S. to be a nation rife with racism and disrimination
* Blames American racism for provoking the 9/11 attacks
* "Islam and Christianity are a whole lot closer than you may realize," he has written. "Islam comes out of Christianity."
* Embraces liberation theology and socialism
* Strong supporter of Louis Farrakhan
* Likens Israel's treatment of Palestinians to South Africa's treatment of blacks during the apartheid era

The son of a Baptist minister, Jeremiah A. Wright, Jr. was born in Philadelphia on September 22, 1941. On March 1, 1972, he became the pastor of Chicago's Trinity United Church of Christ (TUCC), a position he held until February 2008.

After a tour of duty in the U.S. Navy, Wright went on to earn a master's degree in English from Howard University in 1969. Six years later he earned an additional master's degree from the University of Chicago Divinity School, and in 1990 he received a Doctor of Ministry Degree from United Theological Seminary.

The writings, public statements, and sermons of Rev. Wright reflect his conviction that America is a nation infested with racism, prejudice, and injustices that make life very difficult for black people. As he declared in one of his sermons:

"Racism is how this country was founded and how this country is still run!... We Americans believe in white supremacy and black inferiority and believe it more than we believe in God."

This view is entirely consistent with Rev. Wright's devotion to the tenets of liberation theology, which is essentially Marxism dressed up as Christianity. Devised by Cold War-era theologians, it teaches that the New Testament gospels can be understood only as calls for social activism, class struggle, and revolution aimed at overturning the existing capitalist order and installing, in its stead, a socialist utopia where today's poor will unseat their "oppressors" and become liberated from their material (and, consequently, their spiritual) deprivations.

An extension of this paradigm is black liberation theology, which seeks to foment a similar Marxist revolutionary fervor founded on racial rather than class solidarity. Wright's mentor in this discipline is James Cone, author of the landmark text Black Power and Black Theology.

Arguing that Christianity has been used by white society as an opiate of the (black) masses, Cone asserts that the destitute "are made and kept poor by the rich and powerful few," and that "no one can be a follower of Jesus Christ without a political commitment that expresses one's solidarity with victims."

Wild Thing's comment..........

This guy is not going away quietly if at all. If Obama wins the election my guess is Wright will be a regular guest in the Lincoln bedroom and have tea with his Muslim friends in the Rose Garden.

Muslims aren’t interested in getting along with anyone unless they are muslim, and just like those who subscribe to Black Liberation Theology. Not surprising those two linked up, but where does that leave Obama. Not innocent by any means.

"Those 'quiet riots' that take place every day are born from the same place as the fires and the destruction and the police decked out in riot gear and the deaths," Obama said. "They happen when a sense of disconnect settles in and hope dissipates. Despair takes hold and young people all across this country look at the way the world is and believe that things are never going to get any better."

...Thank you so much Mark for this information.

Kerry On Why B. Hussein Obama Should Be President

With Extreme Prejudice

The Wallstreet Journal

Kerry recently endorsed Barack Obama, and earlier this week he sat down with the editorial board of the Standard-Times (New Bedford, Mass.) to make the case for his candidate.

Kerry said that a President Obama would help the US, in relations with Muslim countries, "in some cases go around their dictator leaders to the people and inspire the people in ways that we can't otherwise."

"He has the ability to help us bridge the divide of religious extremism," Kerry said. "To maybe even give power to moderate Islam to be able to stand up against this radical misinterpretation of a legitimate religion." Kerry was asked what gives Obama that credibility.

"Because he's African-American. Because he's a black man. Who has come from a place of oppression and repression through the years in our own country."

An African-American president would be "a symbol of empowerment" for those who have been disenfranchised around the world, Kerry said, "an important lesson for America to show Egypt, Jordan, Saudi Arabia, other places in the world where disenfranchised people don't get anything."

One obvious question: What do the events of this week, involving Obama's own church, tell us about his ability to "stand up against" a "radical misinterpretation of a legitimate religion"? Nothing very encouraging in this columnist's view, but many observers view Obama much more charitably in this regard than we do.

What is really striking about Kerry's case for Obama, though, is that it rests on what may be the crudest stereotyping we have ever observed. Commentary's Abe Greenwald has a chuckle over Kerry's racial stereotyping of Obama:

Where is this "place of oppression and repression" in which Obama has suffered "through the years"? Hawaii? Harvard? The Senate? We should find out immediately and do something about this horrific crisis.

But Kerry isn't just stereotyping blacks. He is stereotyping Muslims too. And he is drawing an equivalence between American blacks, a racial minority in one country, and Middle Eastern Muslims, a religious majority in a whole region.

Never mind that, as Greenwald points out, "Arab Muslims [are] none too happy with their black countrymen in northern Africa." Never mind that in some African countries, notably Sudan and Mauritania, Arab Muslims still enslave blacks.

To Kerry, it seems, all "oppressed peoples" look alike. The man has all the intellectual subtlety of a third-rate ethnic studies professor.

Wild Thing's comment........

"Where is this "place of oppression and repression" in which Obama has suffered "through the years"? Hawaii? Harvard? The Senate? "

Well my gosh, we should find out immediately and do something about this horrific crisis. heh heh

LOL I love what Rush said about this.......

"RUSH: …Man, this is what I mean. When you got guys like this speaking for you, you have no control over. Do you realize what you just heard? This is the former Democrat presidential nominee, and he has just encapsulated here the liberal Democrat view of this country where it comes to race: "We are guilty!" Whatever anybody, particularly our enemies -- whatever radical Islam thinks of us -- they're right. We are guilty, because we are racist, sexist, bigot, homophobes and all that. And we need to elect an African-American president, a young leader, obviously visionary, to show the rest of the world that we are who we say we are as a people. To bridge the divide of religious extremism? (laughing) Kerry said this on Monday. I don't think Jeremiah Wright was a common household name at that time. (laughing) Bridge the divide.? He has created the divide! He's widening the divide! He's dredging the divide! He's dumping the sand of the divide on both sides of the shore. "

Add McCain to List of Candidates Passport Files Breached

All three presidential candidates had passport files breached

The Sacramento Bee

WASHINGTON -- State Department employees inappropriately examined the passport files of Democratic Sens. Barack Obama and Hillary Rodham Clinton and Republican candidate Sen. John McCain, a security breach that forced Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice to apologize to Obama.

Rice said Friday she apologized to Obama for a security breach in which three State Department contractors reviewed his file on three occasions earlier this year. Two of the employees were fired and a third disciplined.

"I told him that I was sorry, and I told him that I myself would be very disturbed," Rice told reporters.

Separately, Clinton issued a statement saying Rice told her that her passport file was breached in 2007.

The State Department said the same contract employee who examined Barack Obama?s file also looked at McCain?s.

The State Department's inspector general is investigating the Obama passport breach, which occurred on three separate occasions -- Jan. 9, Feb. 21 and as recently as last week, on March 14. On Friday, the department announced that the Justice Department would be monitoring the probe in case it needs to get involved.

State Department spokesman Sean McCormack said Friday that the State Department would make results of the investigation available to congressional oversight committees and to Obama's office.

Bill Burton, a spokesman for Obama's presidential campaign, has called the incident "an outrageous breach of security and privacy."

Aside from the file, the information could allow Obama's critics to dig deeper into his private life. While the file includes his date and place of birth, address at time of application and the countries he's traveled to, the most important detail would be his Social Security number, which can be used to pull credit reports and other personal information.

"This is a serious matter that merits a complete investigation, and we demand to know who looked at Senator Obama's passport file, for what purpose and why it took so long for them to reveal this security breach," Burton said on Thursday.

McCormack said the breaches occurred were detected by internal State Department computer checks. The department's top management officer, Undersecretary Patrick Kennedy, said certain records, including those of high-profile people, are "flagged" with a computer tag that tips off supervisors when someone tries to view the records without a proper reason.

The firings and unspecified discipline of the third employee already had occurred when senior State Department officials learned of the breaches. Kennedy called that a failing. Rice only learned about the breaches Thursday.

"I will fully acknowledge this information should have been passed up the line," Kennedy told reporters in a conference call Thursday night. "It was dealt with at the office level."

In answer to a question, Kennedy said the department doesn't look into political affiliation in doing background checks on passport workers. "Now that this has arisen, this becomes a germane question, and that will be something for the appropriate investigation to look into," he said.

The department informed Obama's Senate office of the breach on Thursday. Kennedy said that at the office's request, he will provide a personal briefing for the senator's staff on Friday.

Wild Thing's comment........

Clinton’s file is improperly viewed. No outrage

McCain’s file is improperly viewed. No outrage

Obama’s file is improperly viewed. Yes outrage and media pushing for Obama go nuts. Oberman on MSNBC went balistic last nighit. And other networks pulling for him as well. LOL

Don't we have a right to know where they travel? I mean we pay their salaries, they work for us. If a public figure travels on MY TAX MONEY, I have a right to know it. It’s part of the public record. Senators are not undercover CIA operatives. LOL

I am really curious who did this. haha Maybe Clinton probably did it to herself so that she could use it as cover when her own people eventually got caught. Or omaybe it is just because of my thinking of the 900 FBI Files collected by the Clinton's. Just a thought heh heh I would love to see the media compare the breach of a passport file to 900 FBI files.Keep those Clinton gates in the news too.

I am not sure, but I think the Passport thing would only be dangerous in regards to knowing a person's social security number and probably their home address. That IS bad but that cant be the reason this breach happened. Who cares about where these idiots live or their SS#. What the Clinton's did with the 9090 FBI files was horrendous and personal and private information on anyone they considered and enemy real or imagined.

From MSNBC

There Were Three Types of Breaches

"(1) Fall 2007. A training exercise last fall involved somebody typing in Hillary Clinton's name... The person involved was not fired.

(2-a) January 9, 2008. A contractor looked at the passport file of Barack Obama. The supervisor felt it was a firing offense. The contractor was fired. But the immediate supervisor didn't notify officials outside office of consular affairs.

(2-b) February 21, 2008. Another contractor looked at Obama's passport file. Supervisor felt it was a firing offense. The contractor was fired. The immediate supervisor didn't notify officials outside office of consular affairs.

(3) March 14, 2008. A third contractor accessed Obama's passport file and McCain's passport file. Supervisor felt it was not a firing offense. The contractor suspended. The immediate supervisor didn't notify officials outside office of consular affairs.

Key questions: What made the Jan. 9 and Feb. 21 breaches of Obama more serious than the fall '07 breach of Clinton and the March 14 breaches of Obama/McCain? "

Obama Passport Files Violated State Dept. Investigates

Obama passport files violated; 2 workers at State fired; 1 rebuked

The Washington Times

Two State Department employees were fired recently and a third disciplined for improperly accessing electronic personal data on Democratic presidential candidate Sen. Barack Obama, Bush administration officials said today.

The officials, all contract workers, used their authorized computer network access to look up files within the department's consular affairs section, which processes and stores passport information, and read Mr. Obama's passport application and other records, in violation of department privacy rules, State Department spokesman Sean McCormack said.

Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice was notified of the security breach today, and responded by saying security measures used to monitor records of high-profile Americans worked properly in detecting the breaches.

Mr. McCormack said the officials did not appear to be seeking information on behalf of any political candidate or party.

"As far as we can tell, in each of the three cases, it was imprudent curiosity," Mr. McCormack told The Washington Times.

A similar data breach took place in 1992 when State Department officials looked up data on presidential candidate Bill Clinton, in an attempt to find out information from the late 1960s, amid unfounded political campaign rumors that Mr. Clinton had sought to renounce his citizenship to dodge the draft during the Vietnam War while a Rhodes Scholar at Oxford.

That incident triggered a three-year investigation by a special prosecutor, who found that no laws were violated but officials exercised poor judgment. The 1992 search of Mr. Clinton's passport records was part of an effort to speed up Freedom of Information Act requests.

The Obama campaign denounced the accessing as "an outrageous breach of security and privacy, even from an Administration that has shown little regard for either over the last eight years."

Spokesman Bill Burton said "our government’s duty is to protect the private information of the American people, not use it for political purposes. This is a serious matter that merits a complete investigation, and we demand to know who looked at Senator Obama’s passport file, for what purpose, and why it took so long for them to reveal this security breach."

One administration official said the FBI is conducting a preliminary inquiry into the officials involved in the unauthorized access incidents related to Mr. Obama, Illinois Democrat. An FBI spokesman could not be reached for comment.

Government records of political candidates are tightly restricted because of concerns they could be used against candidates or the data could be altered as part of campaign dirty tricks.

In this case, it does not appear that records were copied or altered, Mr. McCormack said.

Passport application data includes such details as date and place of birth, e-mail address, mailing address, Social Security number, former names and travel plans. Mr. Obama was born in Honolulu in 1961 to a Kenyan father and American mother. He lived in Jakarta, Indonesia, from age six to 10.

Computer-monitoring equipment detected the activities by the three employees on Jan. 9, Feb. 21 and March 14, triggering alarms in each case, Mr. McCormack said.

Mr. McCormack said the officials accessed Mr. Obama's records "without a need to do so."

"In each case, we immediately contacted our contractors, their employer, and two were fired and one was disciplined," he said.

"We have strict rules restricting access to passport records," Mr. McCormack said.

Each time an employee logs on to the passport-records network, they are informed that the records are protected by the Privacy Act and are "available only on a need-to-know basis," he said. But no technical bar prevents a person, once he is in the system, from gaining access to Privacy Act-protected records to which he has no "need-to-know" rights.

But the network has an electronic monitoring system that is tripped when an employee accesses a record of a prominent person, like Mr. Obama. The alarm then triggers an inquiry into the incident, and "when the answer is not satisfactory, a supervisor is notified."

Such records can be accessed when it is part of an official inquiry, but in the case of Mr. Obama, it was not, Mr. McCormack said.

Asked whether a political candidate or party is behind the incidents, Mr. McCormack said: "None at this point in time that we have determined."

Mr. McCormack declined to provide the names of the employees or the contract, but he said they were hired by the contractor involved in producing, processing and approving passports.

"This is supposed to be a transaction between an individual and the government, and this is private information that we take a lot of steps to protect, and we take that responsibility seriously, not only for high profile individuals but for everybody," he said.

Mr. McCormack said the incidents took place at consular affairs facilities in the Washington area.

Wild Thing's comment........

Anyone check Sandy Berger’s pants? He lilkes to mess with top security files. LOL

I bet Obama will be trying to push for an investigation to get the focus off his pastor. LOL This is serious and shouldn't happen to anyone on either side. But it is funny and the timing is just soooo perfect to get the subject to change in the media and blogs and talk radio....the American people. hahaha

Obama campaign says it’s outrageous breech of security.

They are EATING this up...talk about a subject-changer. They went nuts on the various networks. Knowing the Clinton's and their padt FBI files on one and all, it sure seems like a set up by either Clintonistas at State Department..or Obama himself to get Preachergate off the news!

Well, I guess Obama will release his passport records when Hillary releases her tax records.

'It's part of the game,' says anti-white, anti-Jew leader

The removal by the Barack Obama campaign from its official website of an endorsement from the black supremacist New Black Panther Party, or NBPP, was decided upon for "understandable political reasons," according to the party's national chairman.
"It's the game of politics," the NBPP's Malik Zulu Shabazz told WND. "The Obama camp's move to remove our blog doesn't mean much because I understand politics. We still completely support Obama as the best candidate."

Shabbaz, who has given scores of speeches condemning "white men" and Jews, said today Obama "is the best guy to bring the kinds of racial changes supported by our community at the New Black Panthers."

The NBPP, which inherited its name from the Black Panther Party of the 1960s, is a controversial black extremist party whose leaders are notorious for their racist statements and anti-white activism. The organization's own website also was taken down today too.

And from Fox News

Obama Camp Rejects New Black Panther Party Endorsement After Removing Web Posting

Barack Obama’s campaign has rejected the support of the New Black Panther Party, after removing an endorsement by the group from its Web site Wednesday.

Obama spokesman Tommy Vietor issued a statement rejecting the Panther backing, and told FOXNews.com: “The page in question has been removed from our campaign Web site. It’s our policy with any content generated by a group that advocates violence.”

The blogosphere was buzzing Wednesday about whether his campaign planned to remove the Panther posting, just one day after the Illinois senator delivered a speech calling for improved race relations in America.

Malik Zulu Shabazz, who has led the group since 2001, told FOX News the Obama campaign’s reaction to the endorsement was understandable.

The NBPP is identified as an extremist hate group by the Southern Poverty Law Center, a tolerance education organization. The Anti-Defamation League calls NBPP “the largest organized anti-Semitic black militant group in America. … Under Shabazz, the group continues to organize demonstrations across the country that blend inflammatory bigotry with calls for black empowerment and civil rights.”

After the death of Black Panther Party's former leader Dr. Khallid Muhammad in February 2001, Malik Zulu Shabazz, a Washington D.C.-based attorney, took over leadership of the group.

Here is a video of Dr. Khallid Muhammad, the man that the new leader Malik Zulu Shabazz said at the Dr.'s funeral was "one of the greatest Black leaders to ever live."

ALERT: This video contains the most extreme hate speech I ever knew existed in my life. I just want to make you aware of it if you decide to watch this. I had to watch part of it then try again to see the entire thing. It is very upsetting, very scary.

The image at the top of this post was posted directly on the “Obama for America” website which is controlled by Obama’s campaign and if it was that easy to pull it off by the campaign then it had to have gone through the campaign in the first place to be posted.

Also notice the dates that I circled in red, this was put on his site back in January. Obama and his campaign team only now this last Wednesday decided to take it off the site. They were not noticed or at least ignored for 2+ months. Yep, the MSM is on top of their jobs. NOT!

All of this has been a real education for me. I guess I have lived a pretty protected life when it comes to how some groups feel. I know the terrorists hate us and want us dead. I knew about the Black Panthers and what they did a long time ago. But I never heard their words in your face kind of thing, like in the video.

Here is what I do not understand.

Obama wants to be President, he is not stupid or is he. He had to know that these people hate ALL white people. He knows to be President it means of all America not just President of the black communities. He had to know that he could not have connections to radical groups, hate groups, hate filled preachers screaming of their hate for the very country he ( Obama) wants to reside over as President.

And yet he has done just that, allowed their endorsement at his campaign website, stuck by his pastor until confronted by the LIBERAL media asking about it, and still he has not separated himself completely from any of this.

So my question is does he think the citizens of this country are stupid? He has to know he will not get elected if he only counts on the black vote. He has to know that even Democrats if enough hate the white guy is in their face even they will be offended sooner or later. The old time Democrats at least would be offended, the kind like Zell Miller etc. He has to know that the most racists white people in the USA have always been Democrats.

I just don't get it, maybe he is that stupid or maybe he is self destructive.

Obama's Church Published Hamas Terror Manifesto

Hamas leader Mousa Abu Marzook

Compares charter calling for murder of Jews to Declaration of Independence

B.Hussein and Michell Obama and Wright Being Wrong

JERUSALEM

Sen. Barack Obama's Chicago church reprinted a manifesto by Hamas that defended terrorism as legitimate resistance, refused to recognize the right of Israel to exist and compared the terror group's official charter – which calls for the murder of Jews – to America's Declaration of Independence.

The Hamas piece was published on the "Pastor's Page" of the Trinity United Church of Christ newsletter reserved for Rev. Jeremiah Wright Jr., whose anti-American, anti-Israel remarks landed Obama in hot water, prompting the presidential candidate to deliver a major race speech earlier this week.

Hamas, responsible for scores of shootings, suicide bombings and rocket launchings against civilian population centers, is listed as a terrorist group by the U.S. State Department.

The revelation follows a recent WND article quoting Israeli security officials who expressed "concern" about Robert Malley, an adviser to Obama who has advocated negotiations with Hamas and providing international assistance to the terrorist group.

In his July 22, 2007, church bulletin, Wright reprinted an article by Mousa Abu Marzook, identified in the newsletter as a "deputy of the political bureau of Hamas." A photo image of the newsletter was captured and posted today by the business blog BizzyBlog. The Hamas piece was first published by the Los Angeles Times, garnering the newspaper much criticism.

According to senior Israeli security officials, Marzook, who resides in Syria alongside Hamas chieftain Khaled Meshaal, is considered the "brains" behind Hamas, designing much of the terror group's policies and ideology. Israel possesses what it says is a large volume of specific evidence that Marzook has been directly involved in calling for or planning scores of Hamas terrorist offensives, including deadly suicide bombings. He was also accused of attempting to set up a Hamas network in the U.S.

Marzook's original piece was titled, "Hamas' stand" but was re-titled "A Fresh View of the Palestinian Struggle" by Obama's church newsletter. The newsletter also referred to Hamas as the "Islamic Resistance Movement," and added in its introduction that Marzook was addressing Hamas' goals for "all of Palestine."

In the manifesto, Marzook refers to Hamas' "resistance" – the group's perpetuation of anti-Israel terrorism targeting civilians – as "legal resistance," which, he argues, is "explicitly supported by the Fourth Geneva Convention."

The Convention, which refers to the rights of people living under occupation, does not support suicide bombings or rocket attacks against civilian population centers, the Committee for Accuracy in Middle East Reporting in America noted.

Marzook refers to Hamas' official charter as "an essentially revolutionary document" and compares the violent creed to the Declaration of Independence, which, Marzook states, "simply did not countenance any such status for the 700,000 African slaves at that time."

Hamas' charter calls for the murder of Jews. Among its platforms is a statement that the "[resurrection] will not take place until the Muslims fight the Jews and the Muslims kill them, and the rock and the tree will say: 'Oh Muslim, servant of Allah, there is a Jew behind me, kill him!'"

In his piece, Marzook says Hamas only targets Israel and denies that Hamas' war is meant to be waged against the U.S., even though Hamas officials have threatened America, and Hamas' charter calls for Muslims to "pursue the cause of the Movement (Hamas), all over the globe."

Trinity Church did not respond to a phone message requesting comment.

Obama's campaign also did not reply to phone and e-mail requests today for comment.

Obama aide wants talks with terrorists

WND reported in January that Malley, an Obama foreign policy adviser, has penned numerous opinion articles, many of them co-written with a former adviser to the late Palestinian Authority President Yasser Arafat, petitioning for dialogue with Hamas and blasting Israel for policies he says harm the Palestinian cause.

Malley also previously penned a well-circulated New York Review of Books piece largely blaming Israel for the collapse of the Israeli-Palestinian negotiations at Camp David in 2000 when Arafat turned down a Palestinian state in the West Bank, Gaza and eastern sections of Jerusalem and instead returned to the Middle East to launch an intifada, or terrorist campaign, against the Jewish state.

Malley's contentions have been strongly refuted by key participants at Camp David, including President Clinton, then-Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak and primary U.S. envoy to the Middle East Dennis Ross, all of whom squarely blamed Arafat's refusal to make peace for the talks' failure.

In February 2006, after Hamas won a majority of seats in the Palestinian parliament and amid a U.S. and Israeli attempt to isolate the Hamas-run Palestinian Authority, Malley wrote an op-ed for the Baltimore Sun advocating international aid to the terror group's newly formed government.

"The Islamists (Hamas) ran on a campaign of effective government and promised to improve Palestinians' lives; they cannot do that if the international community turns its back," wrote Malley in a piece entitled, "Making the Best of Hamas' Victory."

Malley contended the election of Hamas expressed Palestinian "anger at years of humiliation and loss of self-respect because of Israeli settlement expansion, Arafat's imprisonment, Israel's incursions, Western lecturing and, most recently and tellingly, the threat of an aid cutoff in the event of an Islamist success."

Malley said the U.S. should not "discourage third-party unofficial contacts with [Hamas] in an attempt to moderate it."

In an op-ed in the Washington Post in January coauthored by Arafat adviser Hussein Agha, Malley – using what could be perceived as anti-Israel language – urged Israel's negotiating partner, Abbas, to reunite with Hamas.

"A renewed national compact and the return of Hamas to the political fold would upset Israel's strategy of perpetuating Palestinian geographic and political division," wrote Malley.

He further petitioned Israel to hold talks with Hamas.

"An arrangement between Israel and Hamas could advance both sides' interests," Malley wrote.

Wild Thing's comment........

The Obama bus continues over the cliff.

I’m glad this is coming out because Obama’s advisors are all socialists that believe Israel and America are at fault for every hardship in the world, and terrorism is justified against us. Hopefully this will start to shed more and more light on the people around him and their sympathy for terrorists.

The left and their support for terrorists, add in to that their hate for our military they all go together.

....Thank you Mark for this article.

McCain Aide Suspended Over Obama Video

McCain Aide Suspended Over Twitter (Sent out Obama video)

CNN Time Blog

The ongoing saga of the McCain Campaign’s effort to keep the political discourse respectful added another chapter today. As reported by Jon Martin, the campaign has suspended a junior staffer, Soren Dayton, a conservative blogger/consultant who worked in McCain’s political department.

His crime: Distributing, via Twitter, a smarmy Youtube video that mashes together the words of Barack Obama, Jeremiah Wright, a photograph of the 1968 Olympics black power salute and a Public Enemy song, among other things. The video suggests, in a rather crude fashion, what conservative commentators have long held: That Wright’s inflammatory rhetoric is a key window on the secret radical agenda of Obama.

But the McCain campaign still ain’t gonna playing that game. As Communications Director Jill Hazelbaker told Martin,

"We have been very clear on the type of campaign we intend to run and this staffer acted in violation of our policy."

Dayton’s suspension comes just a week after the McCain campaign sent reporters a opinion piece from the Wall Street Journal suggesting that Obama’s relationship with Wright showed his radical agenda. The McCain campaign later said that the article was sent out in error, and McCain told Fox News’s Sean Hannity that he does not hold Wright’s inflammatory statements against Obama...

“I do know Senator Obama,” McCain said. “He does not share those views.”

And for those who are counting, the smarmy YouTube attack on Obama has yet to get many viewers. As of this posting, it has only been watched 53,694 times.

Wild Thing's comment........

I wonder if McCain thinks Obama would make a "good president", like he thinks Hillary would. This is funny to me because it is one of the videos I posted on March 18th.

I understand what McCain is trying to do, take the high road and all. But one can go too far in that direction when trying to win a battle.

Thing is, he's never missing an opportunity to dis a supporter and make gratuitous statements defending his opponents. Hmmmmm like this for instance.....My good friend Obama, my good friend Kerry, my good friend Teddy, my good friend Liebermann, my good friend Hillary and on and on.

Michelle Obama

Blacks Inferiority Complex sabatoging Obama!

Wild Thing's comment........

Give me a break, please and thank you. I just don't believe this is a black issue at all. This is a a negative enforcement that can be done by anyone to anyone by someone that is not a good person.

You can't do this you are not smart enough, you can't enter that contest you will not win. You can't try out for that sport there are better athletes then you are and you will not be chosen. You shouldn't have your own business it is a lot of work and you might not do well. You shouldn't go on that tour you could get killed or kidnapped. Tons of other comments I try to forget so won't put them here. haha And this one was what my socialist/democrat brother-in-law told one of his son's, you shouldn't go in the military you will have to make your bed every day. LOL

Negativity that can come from parent, a relative, so called friends or co-workers. But to make it a Black thang' is a bunch of BS.

I have met people that have been told this, I have been told some of these things when I was a growing up and other things. My heart is what kept me trying, driving me to do things I cared about. Sure lots of tears and hurt from the negative input, but still maybe it built some kind of determination in me that I would not have had if I had the go ahead from all I knew. I have met people non blacks that had the same negative input and they chose to believe it. They gave up before even trying.

How many people that own their own business's were told it is a hard road to have your own company, your own little business and yet they went on to do well and accomplish things in their life. They were and are able to support a family and know it is because they had a dream and did what they could to make it happen. Again this has nothing to do with being black or white or polka dot.

Michelle and Barack are making this a rascial thing, out loud or quietly, and it stinks to high heaven. And to make it that because of negativity or not getting a break a person is to hate this country and not be proud of America. This is NUTS!

America is a country of opportunity and that has been proven over and over again by millions of people of all colors and all faiths.

An Obamanation by Russ Vaughn

An Obamanation

It’s unfair the Obamatons howl,
To charge guilt by association;
Our boy has committed no foul;
He’s just one of the congregation.
While sitting there twenty long years,
As the reverend spewed out his odium,
Naught wafted into those large ears,
But spittle and froth from the podium?

No such tirades did I ever see,
Says Obama now that it’s news;
No rants about AIDS heard by me,
Nor venomous bile aimed at Jews.
You cherry pick dribbles and bites
From sermons of many long years;
You say my preacher hates whites?
My goodness that’s news to my ears!

But a man picks a church like a wife,
As a comfortable mate for his soul,
With commonly shared views of life;
They are parts of the man as a whole.
So Obama is welcome to try
To convince us that his soul is pure,
But it’s just a political lie;
He buys into his preacher’s manure.

Why else then sit in that church pew,
With children and wife at your side?
If you truly do not share the world view,
Of your hate-spewing spiritual guide?
Yet now you denounce Jeremiah,
In your quest for power and station;
He’s a conveniently banished pariah;
Barack, you’re an Obamanation.

Excellent, and pointing out too how children are in the audience of the hate spewing as well. Little children being taught such things and then we see Islam doing the same thing with their wee ones. There should be the same outrage for both.

Obama's Speech In Full

“We the people, in order to form a more perfect union.”

Two hundred and twenty one years ago, in a hall that still stands across the street, a group of men gathered and, with these simple words, launched America’s improbable experiment in democracy. Farmers and scholars; statesmen and patriots who had traveled across an ocean to escape tyranny and persecution finally made real their declaration of independence at a Philadelphia convention that lasted through the spring of 1787.

The document they produced was eventually signed but ultimately unfinished. It was stained by this nation’s original sin of slavery, a question that divided the colonies and brought the convention to a stalemate until the founders chose to allow the slave trade to continue for at least twenty more years, and to leave any final resolution to future generations.

Of course, the answer to the slavery question was already embedded within our Constitution – a Constitution that had at is very core the ideal of equal citizenship under the law; a Constitution that promised its people liberty, and justice, and a union that could be and should be perfected over time.

And yet words on a parchment would not be enough to deliver slaves from bondage, or provide men and women of every color and creed their full rights and obligations as citizens of the United States. What would be needed were Americans in successive generations who were willing to do their part – through protests and struggle, on the streets and in the courts, through a civil war and civil disobedience and always at great risk - to narrow that gap between the promise of our ideals and the reality of their time.

This was one of the tasks we set forth at the beginning of this campaign – to continue the long march of those who came before us, a march for a more just, more equal, more free, more caring and more prosperous America. I chose to run for the presidency at this moment in history because I believe deeply that we cannot solve the challenges of our time unless we solve them together – unless we perfect our union by understanding that we may have different stories, but we hold common hopes; that we may not look the same and we may not have come from the same place, but we all want to move in the same direction – towards a better future for of children and our grandchildren.

This belief comes from my unyielding faith in the decency and generosity of the American people. But it also comes from my own American story.

I am the son of a black man from Kenya and a white woman from Kansas. I was raised with the help of a white grandfather who survived a Depression to serve in Patton’s Army during World War II and a white grandmother who worked on a bomber assembly line at Fort Leavenworth while he was overseas. I’ve gone to some of the best schools in America and lived in one of the world’s poorest nations. I am married to a black American who carries within her the blood of slaves and slaveowners – an inheritance we pass on to our two precious daughters. I have brothers, sisters, nieces, nephews, uncles and cousins, of every race and every hue, scattered across three continents, and for as long as I live, I will never forget that in no other country on Earth is my story even possible.

It’s a story that hasn’t made me the most conventional candidate. But it is a story that has seared into my genetic makeup the idea that this nation is more than the sum of its parts – that out of many, we are truly one.

Throughout the first year of this campaign, against all predictions to the contrary, we saw how hungry the American people were for this message of unity. Despite the temptation to view my candidacy through a purely racial lens, we won commanding victories in states with some of the whitest populations in the country. In South Carolina, where the Confederate Flag still flies, we built a powerful coalition of African Americans and white Americans.

This is not to say that race has not been an issue in the campaign. At various stages in the campaign, some commentators have deemed me either “too black” or “not black enough.” We saw racial tensions bubble to the surface during the week before the South Carolina primary. The press has scoured every exit poll for the latest evidence of racial polarization, not just in terms of white and black, but black and brown as well.

And yet, it has only been in the last couple of weeks that the discussion of race in this campaign has taken a particularly divisive turn.

On one end of the spectrum, we’ve heard the implication that my candidacy is somehow an exercise in affirmative action; that it’s based solely on the desire of wide-eyed liberals to purchase racial reconciliation on the cheap. On the other end, we’ve heard my former pastor, Reverend Jeremiah Wright, use incendiary language to express views that have the potential not only to widen the racial divide, but views that denigrate both the greatness and the goodness of our nation; that rightly offend white and black alike.

I have already condemned, in unequivocal terms, the statements of Reverend Wright that have caused such controversy. For some, nagging questions remain. Did I know him to be an occasionally fierce critic of American domestic and foreign policy? Of course. Did I ever hear him make remarks that could be considered controversial while I sat in church? Yes. Did I strongly disagree with many of his political views? Absolutely – just as I’m sure many of you have heard remarks from your pastors, priests, or rabbis with which you strongly disagreed.

But the remarks that have caused this recent firestorm weren’t simply controversial. They weren’t simply a religious leader’s effort to speak out against perceived injustice. Instead, they expressed a profoundly distorted view of this country – a view that sees white racism as endemic, and that elevates what is wrong with America above all that we know is right with America; a view that sees the conflicts in the Middle East as rooted primarily in the actions of stalwart allies like Israel, instead of emanating from the perverse and hateful ideologies of radical Islam.

As such, Reverend Wright’s comments were not only wrong but divisive, divisive at a time when we need unity; racially charged at a time when we need to come together to solve a set of monumental problems – two wars, a terrorist threat, a falling economy, a chronic health care crisis and potentially devastating climate change; problems that are neither black or white or Latino or Asian, but rather problems that confront us all.

Given my background, my politics, and my professed values and ideals, there will no doubt be those for whom my statements of condemnation are not enough. Why associate myself with Reverend Wright in the first place, they may ask? Why not join another church? And I confess that if all that I knew of Reverend Wright were the snippets of those sermons that have run in an endless loop on the television and You Tube, or if Trinity United Church of Christ conformed to the caricatures being peddled by some commentators, there is no doubt that I would react in much the same way

But the truth is, that isn’t all that I know of the man. The man I met more than twenty years ago is a man who helped introduce me to my Christian faith, a man who spoke to me about our obligations to love one another; to care for the sick and lift up the poor. He is a man who served his country as a U.S. Marine; who has studied and lectured at some of the finest universities and seminaries in the country, and who for over thirty years led a church that serves the community by doing God’s work here on Earth – by housing the homeless, ministering to the needy, providing day care services and scholarships and prison ministries, and reaching out to those suffering from HIV/AIDS.

In my first book, Dreams From My Father, I described the experience of my first service at Trinity:

“People began to shout, to rise from their seats and clap and cry out, a forceful wind carrying the reverend’s voice up into the rafters….And in that single note – hope! – I heard something else; at the foot of that cross, inside the thousands of churches across the city, I imagined the stories of ordinary black people merging with the stories of David and Goliath, Moses and Pharaoh, the Christians in the lion’s den, Ezekiel’s field of dry bones. Those stories – of survival, and freedom, and hope – became our story, my story; the blood that had spilled was our blood, the tears our tears; until this black church, on this bright day, seemed once more a vessel carrying the story of a people into future generations and into a larger world. Our trials and triumphs became at once unique and universal, black and more than black; in chronicling our journey, the stories and songs gave us a means to reclaim memories that we didn’t need to feel shame about…memories that all people might study and cherish – and with which we could start to rebuild.”

That has been my experience at Trinity. Like other predominantly black churches across the country, Trinity embodies the black community in its entirety – the doctor and the welfare mom, the model student and the former gang-banger. Like other black churches, Trinity’s services are full of raucous laughter and sometimes bawdy humor. They are full of dancing, clapping, screaming and shouting that may seem jarring to the untrained ear. The church contains in full the kindness and cruelty, the fierce intelligence and the shocking ignorance, the struggles and successes, the love and yes, the bitterness and bias that make up the black experience in America.

And this helps explain, perhaps, my relationship with Reverend Wright. As imperfect as he may be, he has been like family to me. He strengthened my faith, officiated my wedding, and baptized my children. Not once in my conversations with him have I heard him talk about any ethnic group in derogatory terms, or treat whites with whom he interacted with anything but courtesy and respect. He contains within him the contradictions – the good and the bad – of the community that he has served diligently for so many years.

I can no more disown him than I can disown the black community. I can no more disown him than I can my white grandmother – a woman who helped raise me, a woman who sacrificed again and again for me, a woman who loves me as much as she loves anything in this world, but a woman who once confessed her fear of black men who passed by her on the street, and who on more than one occasion has uttered racial or ethnic stereotypes that made me cringe.

These people are a part of me. And they are a part of America, this country that I love.

Some will see this as an attempt to justify or excuse comments that are simply inexcusable. I can assure you it is not. I suppose the politically safe thing would be to move on from this episode and just hope that it fades into the woodwork. We can dismiss Reverend Wright as a crank or a demagogue, just as some have dismissed Geraldine Ferraro, in the aftermath of her recent statements, as harboring some deep-seated racial bias.

But race is an issue that I believe this nation cannot afford to ignore right now. We would be making the same mistake that Reverend Wright made in his offending sermons about America – to simplify and stereotype and amplify the negative to the point that it distorts reality.

The fact is that the comments that have been made and the issues that have surfaced over the last few weeks reflect the complexities of race in this country that we’ve never really worked through – a part of our union that we have yet to perfect. And if we walk away now, if we simply retreat into our respective corners, we will never be able to come together and solve challenges like health care, or education, or the need to find good jobs for every American.

Understanding this reality requires a reminder of how we arrived at this point. As William Faulkner once wrote, “The past isn’t dead and buried. In fact, it isn’t even past.” We do not need to recite here the history of racial injustice in this country. But we do need to remind ourselves that so many of the disparities that exist in the African-American community today can be directly traced to inequalities passed on from an earlier generation that suffered under the brutal legacy of slavery and Jim Crow.

Segregated schools were, and are, inferior schools; we still haven’t fixed them, fifty years after Brown v. Board of Education, and the inferior education they provided, then and now, helps explain the pervasive achievement gap between today’s black and white students.

Legalized discrimination - where blacks were prevented, often through violence, from owning property, or loans were not granted to African-American business owners, or black homeowners could not access FHA mortgages, or blacks were excluded from unions, or the police force, or fire departments – meant that black families could not amass any meaningful wealth to bequeath to future generations. That history helps explain the wealth and income gap between black and white, and the concentrated pockets of poverty that persists in so many of today’s urban and rural communities.

A lack of economic opportunity among black men, and the shame and frustration that came from not being able to provide for one’s family, contributed to the erosion of black families – a problem that welfare policies for many years may have worsened. And the lack of basic services in so many urban black neighborhoods – parks for kids to play in, police walking the beat, regular garbage pick-up and building code enforcement – all helped create a cycle of violence, blight and neglect that continue to haunt us.

This is the reality in which Reverend Wright and other African-Americans of his generation grew up. They came of age in the late fifties and early sixties, a time when segregation was still the law of the land and opportunity was systematically constricted. What’s remarkable is not how many failed in the face of discrimination, but rather how many men and women overcame the odds; how many were able to make a way out of no way for those like me who would come after them.

But for all those who scratched and clawed their way to get a piece of the American Dream, there were many who didn’t make it – those who were ultimately defeated, in one way or another, by discrimination. That legacy of defeat was passed on to future generations – those young men and increasingly young women who we see standing on street corners or languishing in our prisons, without hope or prospects for the future. Even for those blacks who did make it, questions of race, and racism, continue to define their worldview in fundamental ways. For the men and women of Reverend Wright’s generation, the memories of humiliation and doubt and fear have not gone away; nor has the anger and the bitterness of those years. That anger may not get expressed in public, in front of white co-workers or white friends. But it does find voice in the barbershop or around the kitchen table. At times, that anger is exploited by politicians, to gin up votes along racial lines, or to make up for a politician’s own failings.

And occasionally it finds voice in the church on Sunday morning, in the pulpit and in the pews. The fact that so many people are surprised to hear that anger in some of Reverend Wright’s sermons simply reminds us of the old truism that the most segregated hour in American life occurs on Sunday morning. That anger is not always productive; indeed, all too often it distracts attention from solving real problems; it keeps us from squarely facing our own complicity in our condition, and prevents the African-American community from forging the alliances it needs to bring about real change. But the anger is real; it is powerful; and to simply wish it away, to condemn it without understanding its roots, only serves to widen the chasm of misunderstanding that exists between the races.

In fact, a similar anger exists within segments of the white community. Most working- and middle-class white Americans don’t feel that they have been particularly privileged by their race. Their experience is the immigrant experience – as far as they’re concerned, no one’s handed them anything, they’ve built it from scratch. They’ve worked hard all their lives, many times only to see their jobs shipped overseas or their pension dumped after a lifetime of labor. They are anxious about their futures, and feel their dreams slipping away; in an era of stagnant wages and global competition, opportunity comes to be seen as a zero sum game, in which your dreams come at my expense. So when they are told to bus their children to a school across town; when they hear that an African American is getting an advantage in landing a good job or a spot in a good college because of an injustice that they themselves never committed; when they’re told that their fears about crime in urban neighborhoods are somehow prejudiced, resentment builds over time.

Like the anger within the black community, these resentments aren’t always expressed in polite company. But they have helped shape the political landscape for at least a generation. Anger over welfare and affirmative action helped forge the Reagan Coalition. Politicians routinely exploited fears of crime for their own electoral ends. Talk show hosts and conservative commentators built entire careers unmasking bogus claims of racism while dismissing legitimate discussions of racial injustice and inequality as mere political correctness or reverse racism.

Just as black anger often proved counterproductive, so have these white resentments distracted attention from the real culprits of the middle class squeeze – a corporate culture rife with inside dealing, questionable accounting practices, and short-term greed; a Washington dominated by lobbyists and special interests; economic policies that favor the few over the many. And yet, to wish away the resentments of white Americans, to label them as misguided or even racist, without recognizing they are grounded in legitimate concerns – this too widens the racial divide, and blocks the path to understanding.

This is where we are right now. It’s a racial stalemate we’ve been stuck in for years. Contrary to the claims of some of my critics, black and white, I have never been so naïve as to believe that we can get beyond our racial divisions in a single election cycle, or with a single candidacy – particularly a candidacy as imperfect as my own.

But I have asserted a firm conviction – a conviction rooted in my faith in God and my faith in the American people – that working together we can move beyond some of our old racial wounds, and that in fact we have no choice is we are to continue on the path of a more perfect union.

For the African-American community, that path means embracing the burdens of our past without becoming victims of our past. It means continuing to insist on a full measure of justice in every aspect of American life. But it also means binding our particular grievances – for better health care, and better schools, and better jobs - to the larger aspirations of all Americans -- the white woman struggling to break the glass ceiling, the white man whose been laid off, the immigrant trying to feed his family. And it means taking full responsibility for own lives – by demanding more from our fathers, and spending more time with our children, and reading to them, and teaching them that while they may face challenges and discrimination in their own lives, they must never succumb to despair or cynicism; they must always believe that they can write their own destiny.

Ironically, this quintessentially American – and yes, conservative – notion of self-help found frequent expression in Reverend Wright’s sermons. But what my former pastor too often failed to understand is that embarking on a program of self-help also requires a belief that society can change.

The profound mistake of Reverend Wright’s sermons is not that he spoke about racism in our society. It’s that he spoke as if our society was static; as if no progress has been made; as if this country – a country that has made it possible for one of his own members to run for the highest office in the land and build a coalition of white and black; Latino and Asian, rich and poor, young and old -- is still irrevocably bound to a tragic past. But what we know -- what we have seen – is that America can change. That is true genius of this nation. What we have already achieved gives us hope – the audacity to hope – for what we can and must achieve tomorrow.

In the white community, the path to a more perfect union means acknowledging that what ails the African-American community does not just exist in the minds of black people; that the legacy of discrimination - and current incidents of discrimination, while less overt than in the past - are real and must be addressed. Not just with words, but with deeds – by investing in our schools and our communities; by enforcing our civil rights laws and ensuring fairness in our criminal justice system; by providing this generation with ladders of opportunity that were unavailable for previous generations. It requires all Americans to realize that your dreams do not have to come at the expense of my dreams; that investing in the health, welfare, and education of black and brown and white children will ultimately help all of America prosper.

In the end, then, what is called for is nothing more, and nothing less, than what all the world’s great religions demand – that we do unto others as we would have them do unto us. Let us be our brother’s keeper, Scripture tells us. Let us be our sister’s keeper. Let us find that common stake we all have in one another, and let our politics reflect that spirit as well.

For we have a choice in this country. We can accept a politics that breeds division, and conflict, and cynicism. We can tackle race only as spectacle – as we did in the OJ trial – or in the wake of tragedy, as we did in the aftermath of Katrina - or as fodder for the nightly news. We can play Reverend Wright’s sermons on every channel, every day and talk about them from now until the election, and make the only question in this campaign whether or not the American people think that I somehow believe or sympathize with his most offensive words. We can pounce on some gaffe by a Hillary supporter as evidence that she’s playing the race card, or we can speculate on whether white men will all flock to John McCain in the general election regardless of his policies.

We can do that.

But if we do, I can tell you that in the next election, we’ll be talking about some other distraction. And then another one. And then another one. And nothing will change.

That is one option. Or, at this moment, in this election, we can come together and say, “Not this time.” This time we want to talk about the crumbling schools that are stealing the future of black children and white children and Asian children and Hispanic children and Native American children. This time we want to reject the cynicism that tells us that these kids can’t learn; that those kids who don’t look like us are somebody else’s problem. The children of America are not those kids, they are our kids, and we will not let them fall behind in a 21st century economy. Not this time.

This time we want to talk about how the lines in the Emergency Room are filled with whites and blacks and Hispanics who do not have health care; who don’t have the power on their own to overcome the special interests in Washington, but who can take them on if we do it together.

This time we want to talk about the shuttered mills that once provided a decent life for men and women of every race, and the homes for sale that once belonged to Americans from every religion, every region, every walk of life. This time we want to talk about the fact that the real problem is not that someone who doesn’t look like you might take your job; it’s that the corporation you work for will ship it overseas for nothing more than a profit.

This time we want to talk about the men and women of every color and creed who serve together, and fight together, and bleed together under the same proud flag. We want to talk about how to bring them home from a war that never should’ve been authorized and never should’ve been waged, and we want to talk about how we’ll show our patriotism by caring for them, and their families, and giving them the benefits they have earned.

I would not be running for President if I didn’t believe with all my heart that this is what the vast majority of Americans want for this country. This union may never be perfect, but generation after generation has shown that it can always be perfected. And today, whenever I find myself feeling doubtful or cynical about this possibility, what gives me the most hope is the next generation – the young people whose attitudes and beliefs and openness to change have already made history in this election.

There is one story in particularly that I’d like to leave you with today – a story I told when I had the great honor of speaking on Dr. King’s birthday at his home church, Ebenezer Baptist, in Atlanta.

There is a young, twenty-three year old white woman named Ashley Baia who organized for our campaign in Florence, South Carolina. She had been working to organize a mostly African-American community since the beginning of this campaign, and one day she was at a roundtable discussion where everyone went around telling their story and why they were there.

And Ashley said that when she was nine years old, her mother got cancer. And because she had to miss days of work, she was let go and lost her health care. They had to file for bankruptcy, and that’s when Ashley decided that she had to do something to help her mom.

She knew that food was one of their most expensive costs, and so Ashley convinced her mother that what she really liked and really wanted to eat more than anything else was mustard and relish sandwiches. Because that was the cheapest way to eat.

She did this for a year until her mom got better, and she told everyone at the roundtable that the reason she joined our campaign was so that she could help the millions of other children in the country who want and need to help their parents too.

Now Ashley might have made a different choice. Perhaps somebody told her along the way that the source of her mother’s problems were blacks who were on welfare and too lazy to work, or Hispanics who were coming into the country illegally. But she didn’t. She sought out allies in her fight against injustice.

Anyway, Ashley finishes her story and then goes around the room and asks everyone else why they’re supporting the campaign. They all have different stories and reasons. Many bring up a specific issue. And finally they come to this elderly black man who’s been sitting there quietly the entire time. And Ashley asks him why he’s there. And he does not bring up a specific issue. He does not say health care or the economy. He does not say education or the war. He does not say that he was there because of Barack Obama. He simply says to everyone in the room, “I am here because of Ashley.”

“I’m here because of Ashley.” By itself, that single moment of recognition between that young white girl and that old black man is not enough. It is not enough to give health care to the sick, or jobs to the jobless, or education to our children.

But it is where we start. It is where our union grows stronger. And as so many generations have come to realize over the course of the two-hundred and twenty one years since a band of patriots signed that document in Philadelphia, that is where the perfection begins.

Wiild Thing's comment.......

The story here is not that the Great Society failed. We all know that already. Obama is the one who plays race card and then goes “Who Me?”

This is the first time in my adult life that I have seen black racism which is endemic actually take some heat and have to whither under the light of day. Note how Obama can't take that heat, he still wants to opine about America's failures rather than truly confront his and Wright's own demons.

Excuse me....we have some momentum now and I hope some have the balls to drive this home. The sad fact is most Americans are clueless. This sort of talk ( that pastor Wright did) is not uncommon in black urban churches from fiery preachers.

Imagine a white politician attending a white church that spoke this vitriol of blacks ....he would have withdrawn from the campaign.

I am tired of it. This crap spews right into rap music lyrics, black thug culture and beyond. The next time some black thug walks up and carjacks some soccer mom in Target parking lot and kills her for sport, do you really think that rhetoric like that from Wright has not made it's way through the black community and influenced his heartlessness towards whites?

I take this white hater Wright personally in his spewing believe me.

Years ago I had finished a day of working at one of the Car shows at the Convention Center in Los Angeles. I was tired and had been standing for 12 hours in high heels handing out brochures. As I was on my way to get on the freeway to go back home ( it was after 22:00) the entrance I was to get on was closed due to some accident. I had to take anouther route. The Convention Center is in a bad part of town and as I drove around trying to find another on ramp I ended up driving deeper into the bad area which is called Watts. This is an all black community and all I could think of as my hands began to shake and my heart beat fast was how unfair it was to be white and be afraid for my life just because I was lost.

The outfit I had on from the modeling job at the car show was certainly not the kind of thing a girl would get out of the car wearing in the area called Watts. Not unless she wanted to possiblly get raped or killed.

Finally I saw a 7-Eleven, and there thank God was a cop car in the parking lot. I pulled up next to the police car and waited, and waited for him to come out. Finally he did, I rolled down my window and asked to speak with him. I told him my situation and asked him if I could follow him to an on ramp to the freeway that was open and that I would really appreciate it. He did and I will alwasy remember his understanding and kindness to me.

My point of sharing this is the double standard. I doubt most blacks feel this terror if they ended up lost in white neighborhoods.

Reverend Wright and his enablers deserve the same fate as Tom Metzger, and other people of the White Aryan Resistance types. They are doing the same thing to my race they accuse us of doing to them.

That Obama can even run for POTUS with this baggage is so pitiful.

Do blacks get a pass on racism? Wright and Obama wants us to do that.

Obama would only use his office to further inflame, validate and vindicate that which he obviously believes due to his 20 year love affair with Wright....and his friendship with Ayers and Dohrn and Casto and Chavez.......it goes on and on.

I am in NO WAY condoning hate on either said, but to say it is OK for people like Wright and Michelle Obama and B. Hussein himself to give it a fluff pass that is just plain wrong.

B.Hussein and Michell Obama and Wright Being Wrong

From Hugh Hewitt at Townhall

Obama Camp VERY Upset With Major Garrett ~ God Bless Garrett!

Major Garrett did an awesome interview of B. Hussein Obama about his church. Obama went on several news channels BUT Garrett's interview was the best!

I want to show you something from Melanie Morgan's blog that she wrote about what happened that night, it is excellent and very interesting ~ Wild Thing

First here is the video:
Barack Obama was interviewed by Major Garrett
Added: March 14, 2008
Barack Obama was interviewed by Major Garrett about his pastor on the 3/14/08 edition of Hannity & Colmes

. Reporting From Inside the Fox News Green Room by Melanie Morgan:

"As I was waiting to go on-the-air, Major Garrett of Fox News was on stand-by to do further reporting on his excellent interview with BHO in which he simply asked a number of questions like: "Did Reverand Wright marry you? Did Reverand Wright baptize your children? How often did you attend church? Did you donate money to the church?"
After that segment aired, Major Garrett's phone started buzzing. He recieved a call from Obama's campaign, and they were REAMING him over the report. From his end, I heard Garrett say "I have nothing to apologize for."

He repeated that several times, and he amplified by saying that he was merely asking questions that everyone wanted answers to.

That did NOT satisfy Obama's people, and Garrett flushed a couple of times while responding to the invective thrown his way.

He finally ended the conversation by saying 'I'll see you guys in April after I go home and visit my three children who barely know their father anymore."

I was scheduled for the last segment with Sean Hannity and Alan Colmes. Bob Beckel, a Democrat strategist with whom I have shared a split screen on several previous occasions, appeared just before me.

This time, he was FURIOUS. Madder than I have ever seen him on TV. He was making a point that I didn't really understand about kids who go to Obama's church growing up to become President, and was drilling Sean about that.

Whatever.

Here's the interesting part.

After the segment was over, I exchanged seats with Beckel. As he was leaving, he slammed the studio door so hard that it almost broke some expensive audio/video equipment, according to the technican who was threading my microphone.

He was STEAMED.

Later, I asked him why he was so upset.

He replied ..."because Obama's people didn't vet him and now Hillary's going to win.'

Catch that? A senior Democrat strategist thinks that Obama has lost the campaign over his association with Reverand Jeremiah Wright's militant separatist language that includes statements like "God Damn America."

I pointed out in my segment that my co-author Catherine Moy wrote about Obama's close personal association at this very website about a year and a half ago. Catherine and I were excoriated for making that piece public. "

And here is the transcript of the video:

MAJOR GARRETT, FOX NEWS CORRESPONDENT: Senator Obama, thank you very much for joining us on FOX. I want to ask you a set of basic, sort of threshold questions about your faith experience at Trinity United Church of Christ because I think it will help Americans understand the story.

So the first question, how long have you been a member in good standing of that church?

SEN. BARACK OBAMA (D-IL), PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE: You know, I've been a member since 1991 or '92. And -- but I have known Trinity even before then when I was a community organizer on the South Side, helping steel workers find jobs. And we were organizing with churches and trying to recruit folks to get involved in that process.

Trinity was one of the churches that we tried to get involved in some of these community projects.

GARRETT: As a member in good standing, were you a regular attendee of Sunday services?

OBAMA: You know, I won't say that I was a perfect attendee. I was regular in spurts, because there was times when, for example, our child had just been born, our first child. And so we didn't go as regularly then. But...

GARRETT: When you attended, sir -- when you attended, did you donate frequently?

OBAMA: Yes.

GARRETT: OK. Were you and Michelle married there, and did Reverend Wright preside?

OBAMA: Yes.

GARRETT: Were your two daughters baptized there, and did Reverend Wright preside over the baptisms?

OBAMA: That is correct, Major.

GARRETT: Very good. I wanted to talk to you about your statement released this afternoon, because earlier today when I contacted your campaign and I asked them if there was any way the campaign felt the need to add further context, add further distance between yourself and the statements of Reverend Wright, the one-word answer I received was "no."

Then late this afternoon, you have a statement that says, "I vehemently disagree, strongly condemn." I'm trying to understand the evolution between this morning and this afternoon. And I'd like to know specifically, Senator, what you vehemently disagree with and what you strongly condemn.

OBAMA: Well, Major, I've got to confess that, you know, as you know, I was voting in the Senate all day yesterday. So I wasn't following this story as carefully as I could have been. And then I flew back to Chicago.

When I saw these statements, many of which I had heard for the first time, then I thought it was important to make a very clear and unequivocal statement.

None of these statements were ones that I had heard myself personally in the pews. One of them I had heard about after I had started running for president, and I put out a statement at that time condemning them.

The other statements were ones that that I just heard about while we were -- when they started being run on FOX and some of the other stations. And so they weren't things that I was familiar with.

Once I saw them, I had to be very clear about the fact that these are not statements that I'm comfortable with. I reject them completely. They are not ones that reflect my values or my ideals or Michelle's. And that, had I heard them, had I been sitting in the church at the time that they were spoken, I would have been absolutely clear to Reverend Wright that I didn't find those acceptable. Obviously.

GARRETT: Sir, would you have -- would you have quit the church had you heard them personally?

OBAMA: You know, I guess -- keep in mind that, just to provide more context, this is somebody who I had known for 20 years. Pastor Wright has been a pastor for 30 years. He's an ex-Marine. He is somebody who is a biblical scholar, has spoken at theological seminaries all across the country, from the University of Chicago to Hampton. And so he is a well- regarded preacher. And somebody who is known for talking about the social gospel.

But most of the time, when I'm in church, he's talking about Jesus, God, faith, values, caring for the poor, those -- family, those were the messages that I was hearing.

And so you know, I think that the statements that have been strung together are compiled out of hundred of sermons that he delivered over the course of his lifetime. But, obviously, they are ones that are, from my perspective, completely unacceptable and inexcusable.

And if I had thought that that was the tenor or tone on an ongoing basis of his sermons, then, yes, I don't think that it would have been reflective of my values or my faith experience.

GARRETT: So, quick yes or no. If had you heard them in person you would have quit?

OBAMA: If I had heard them repeated, I would have quit. I mean, obviously, understand that -- understand that, you know, this is somebody who is like an uncle. If you have -- to me. He's somebody who helped me find Christ. And somebody who always talked to me in very powerful ways about relationship to God and our obligations to the poor.

If somebody makes a mistake, then obviously, you recognize -- I make mistakes. We all make mistakes. If I thought that that was the repeated tenor of the church, then I wouldn't feel comfortable there.

But, frankly, that has not been my experience at Trinity United Church of Christ.

GARRETT: Senator -- in the time we have remaining you said that, in your statement today, "When I first heard these I was beginning my campaign." Yet, you did not begin your campaign on December 4, 2007, when in a press release your campaign announced that Reverend Wright was a part of a quote, unquote, "African-American religious leadership committee."

I'd like you to try to help me understand the inconsistency there. Because obviously, if you knew about them at the beginning of your campaign and you put him on this committee later, you would have been aware.

OBAMA: No, no, no. Wait, wait, Major. I didn't know about all of these statements. I knew about one or two statements that had been made. And, as a consequence, as I said, if it was just a function of one or two statements, then that's not something that would lead me to distance myself from either my church or my pastor.

And if I was going to have a committee talking about faith issues, which we've been very active in doing all across the country, reaching out to evangelicals and talking to the church communities all across the country, it would -- would not make sense if my own pastor wasn't on that committee.

Now, Pastor Wright is retiring. And part of the reason that this is not an issue, once it came to my attention, that we pressed very hard, was the fact that he is on the brink of retirement. He's preached his last sermon. He's taken a sabbatical. He is not going to be active in the church and has not been active in my campaign, and he is no longer a part of that committee.

But you know, my judgment at the time was that this was not as problematic as what I've seen over the last couple of days.

GARRETT: Senator Obama, always a great pleasure to talk to you, sir. Safe travels. We'll see you on the campaign trail.

OBAMA: Major, thank you for taking the time. I appreciate it.

GARRETT: Thank you, sir.

Obama To Deliver “major speech” On Race Tomorrow

Barack Hussein Obama- racist, lying, anti American- is going to lecture us on race ....My title for this.

source for information below:
Washington Post The Trail

"I am going to be talking about not just Rev. Wright, but just the larger issue of race in this campaign, which has ramped up over the last couple of weeks," Obama told reporters after a town hall meeting here. According to aides, he was up until 3 a.m. Monday working on his remarks.

He added that he would "talk about how some of these issues are perceived from within the black church issue for example," he said.

He also briefly defended Wright from the image that has come through in a handful of repeatedly televised clips from recent Wright sermons.

"The caricature that’s being painted of him is not accurate," he said.

Wild Thing's comment........

This is major damage control, polls must look pretty bad. LOL

What Did Obama Know About Wright's Past Sermons?

Just What Did Obama Know About Wright's Past Sermons?

abc news political blog

In his Friday night cable mea culpas on the incendiary comments made by his spiritual adviser Rev. Jeremiah Wright, Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill., repeatedly said,

"I wasn't in church during the time that these statement were made. I did not hear such incendiary language myself, personally. Either in conversations with him or when I was in the pew, he always preached the social gospel. ... If I had heard them repeated, I would have quit. ... If I thought that was the repeated tenor of the church, then I wouldn’t feel comfortable there."

Obama told CNN that he "didn't know about all these statements. I knew about one or two of these statements that had been made. One or two statements would not lead me to distance myself from either my church or my pastor. ... If I had thought that was the tenor or tone on an ongoing basis, then yes, I don't think it would have been reflective of my values."

But according to a New York Times story from a year ago, the Obama campaign dis-invited Wright from delivering a public invocation at Obama's candidacy announcement.

“Fifteen minutes before Shabbos I get a call from Barack,” Wright told the Times. “One of his members had talked him into uninviting me."

In a phone call with Wright, Obama cited a Rolling Stone story, “The Radical Roots of Barack Obama," (the name of which has curiously been changed on the RS website) and told him, according to Wright, “You can get kind of rough in the sermons, so what we’ve decided is that it’s best for you not to be out there in public.”

That story included the following passage:

"The Trinity United Church of Christ, the church that Barack Obama attends in Chicago, is at once vast and unprepossessing, a big structure a couple of blocks from the projects, in the long open sore of a ghetto on the city's far South Side. The church is a leftover vision from the Sixties of what a black nationalist future might look like. There's the testifying fervor of the black church, the Afrocentric Bible readings, even the odd dashiki. And there is the Rev. Jeremiah Wright, a sprawling, profane bear of a preacher, a kind of black ministerial institution, with his own radio shows and guest preaching gigs across the country. Wright takes the pulpit here one Sunday and solemnly, sonorously declares that he will recite 10 essential facts about the United States. 'Fact number one: We've got more black men in prison than there are in college,' he intones. 'Fact number two: Racism is how this country was founded and how this country is still run!' There is thumping applause; Wright has a cadence and power that make Obama sound like John Kerry. Now the reverend begins to preach. 'We are deeply involved in the importing of drugs, the exporting of guns and the training of professional KILLERS. ... We believe in white supremacy and black inferiority and believe it more than we believe in God. ... We conducted radiation experiments on our own people. ... We care nothing about human life if the ends justify the means!" The crowd whoops and amens as Wright builds to his climax: 'And. And. And! GAWD! Has GOT! To be SICK! OF THIS S***!'"

This was more than a year ago.

So ... what did Obama know then and what did he just all of a sudden learn?

Wild Thing's comment........

If I were to discuss this with a leftie that wants to make excuses for Obama about this preacher of his, I would keep repeating two words to the person. Two key words....... 20 Years!!!

....Thank you Mark for sending this article to me.

Gen. Petraeus Comments On New Pres. Wanting Withdrawl

(Center) Army Gen. David Petraeus, commanding general, Multi-National Forces-Iraq, reenlists Spec. Marcus Cleary, Pfc. Brandon Tiago, Sgt. Douglas Wagner, Spec. Matthew L. Phillips, Spec. Ryan Werts, and Spec. Demetris Gilbert from 1st Battalion, 23th Infantry Regiment at FOB Warhorse. A total of eight "Tomahawk" Soldiers from Fort Lewis, WA cite the oath of re-enlistment to continue to serve their country.

Petraeus: New Prez Pushing Ill-Advised Withdrawal Could Replace Me

David Petraeus was diplomatic in his language and careful to honor the primacy of civilian authority over the military. But the commanding general of multi-lateral forces in Iraq has left little doubt that if a new president wanted to withdraw from Iraq faster than would reflect Petraeus's considered military opinion, his family would be happy to have him home.

ABC's Bill Weir interviewed the Gen. Petraeus as part of a Good Morning America special today marking the fifth anniversary of the war in Iraq. The opening segment focused almost exclusively on the costs of the war. Some producer had apparently calculated that the war has cost 19 times the annual budget of Los Angeles. Who knew? But a subsequent segment did highlight some of the progress that has been made, notably in terms of former insurgents now come over to the multi-lateral side. Then came the Petraeus interview, which ended with this exchange.

BILL WEIR: You serve at the pleasure of the president. If our new president, a year from now, says general, I want out of here in a year. What do you say? Is that even feasible?

PETRAEUS: Well I think you have to look at what the conditions on the ground are at that time, obviously, and then offer your best professional military advice. And we always have the option of allowing them to pick someone else for his or her best professional military advice. As I told congress back in the confirmation process in January of 2007, that if at any time someone wanted someone else's best professional military advice, I'd be happy to allow that to happen. I am also coming up on three-and-a-half years in Iraq on top of a year in Bosnia, so my family would be, would not be disappointed I don't think if, you know, Dad were to come home --

WEIR: Sure.

PETRAEUS: For awhile.

Gen. Petraeus is a class act! God bless this fine man!

Obama's Church Fights Back

Obama's church accuses media of character assassination

McCain and Connections To Soros ~ Ugly Stuff

CHICAGO

The church attended by Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.) fought back Sunday against mounting criticism of its pastor, accusing the media of character assassination and “crucifixion.”

Otis Moss II, the current pastor of Trinity United Church of Christ, used his pulpit to defend his congregation and its past minister, the Rev. Jeremiah Wright Jr., from a wave of controversy stemming from inflammatory statements made by Wright.

"We have listened and watched as the wonderful work of our church has been vilified this week," he told about 3,000 congregants on Palm Sunday morning. "This week should be special for us because I guess we know a little something about crucifixion."

The church also released a statement that began: “Nearly three weeks before the 40th commemorative anniversary of the murder of the Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., the Reverend Dr. Jeremiah A. Wright Jr.’s character is being assassinated in the public sphere because he has preached a social gospel on behalf of oppressed women, children and men in America and around the globe.”

Trinity, an 8,000-member church on the South Side of Chicago, came under intense scrutiny over the past week for statements made by Wright that harshly criticized American society as racist and blamed U.S. leaders for the Sept. 11 attacks.

Moss delivered a fiery sermon Sunday, defending the African-American church’s right to speak out about social issues. He stressed Trinity's work in its still-impoverished community, mentioning the church's scholarship programs, drug counseling, SAT prep classes, and missions to Africa.

"Our very sanity is connected to the church. If it hadn't been for the church we would have lost our minds in the insanity of racism," he said, in a sermon titled, "Why the Black Church Won't Shut Up."

Although Moss never mentioned Obama explicitly, he alluded to his most famous parishioner in a prayer asking God to "do something amazing in this country" and "break down walls that are centuries old."

Neither Wright or Obama were present Sunday.

Moss’s sermon also echoed the inclusiveness theme that runs though Obama's stump speeches, highlighting how the church welcomes worshipers of every color, creed, and sexual orientation.

In the statement released to reporters, Moss said called criticism of Wright and the church an “attack on the legacy of the African American Church which led and continues to lead the fight for human rights in America and around the world.”

Obama's relationship with his church has been a long-running hot button issue for his campaign. But new tapes that circulated of Wright last week reignited a firestorm of criticism.

"God bless America? No. God (expletive) America!" preaches Wright in one particularly fiery sermon circulated in news reports last week.

In a Friday column posted on The Huffington Post, Obama both rejected and condemned Wright's statements.

"The statements that Rev. Wright made that are the cause of this controversy were not statements I personally heard him preach while I sat in the pews of Trinity or heard him utter in private conversation," wrote Obama.

On Friday, Wright also stepped down from Obama's African-American Religious Leadership Committee. The 66-year-old pastor is currently in the process of retiring from his position as head pastor of the church.

Obama first distanced himself from Wright early last year, when he withdrew an invitation for the pastor to deliver a public prayer at his announcement for the Democratic nomination.

But in his commentary, Obama made clear his strong ties to his congregation.

Wright built the church from a small flock of less than 100, to a strong pillar of African-American Chicago. The church preaches an Afro-centric theology, describing itself as "Unashamedly Black and Unapologetically Christian."

Their black heritage is seen throughout the sanctuary. Painted glass windows depict famous scenes from black history, like the founding of the NAACP, and church officials wear bright African print tunics and robes.

In Wright's farewell sermon, early last month, he did not mention Obama by name but alluded to his biography and stump speech slogan.

"But, if you use your mind, instead of a lost statistic in a hate-filled universe, you just may end up a law student at Harvard University. In fact, if you use your mind, you might end up as the editor of the Harvard Law Review. If you use your mind, instead of [being] a statistic destined for the poor house, you just may end up a statesman destined for the ... Yes, we can!" he told cheering congregants.

On Sunday, business went on mostly as usual at Trinity. The 150-person choir rocked, 10 babies were blessed, and congregants prayed.

But Moss was well aware that he was hosting some guests. At least a dozen reporters sat in the pews, taking notes on the services. Moss asked them to be respectful and his congregants not to grant any interviews.

"Some people, looking for their 20 minutes of fame," Moss teased his flock, "No interviews."

Here is the full text of the statement, with the headline, “AN ATTACK ON OUR SENIOR PASTOR AND THE HISTORY OF THE AFRICAN AMERICAN CHURCH”:

Chicago, Ill. (March 15, 2008) — "Nearly three weeks before the 40th commemorative anniversary of the murder of the Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., the Reverend Dr. Jeremiah A. Wright Jr.’s character is being assassinated in the public sphere because he has preached a social gospel on behalf of oppressed women, children and men in America and around the globe.
“Dr. Wright has preached 207,792 minutes on Sunday for the past 36 years at Trinity United Church of Christ. This does not include weekday worship services, revivals and preaching engagements across America and around the globe, to ecumenical and interfaith communities. It is an indictment on Dr. Wright’s ministerial legacy to present his global ministry within a 15- or 30-second sound bite,” said the Reverend Otis Moss III, pastor of Trinity United Church of Christ.

During the 36-year pastorate of Dr. Wright, Trinity United Church of Christ has grown from 87 to 8,000 members. It is the largest congregation in the United Church of Christ (UCC) denomination.

“It saddens me to see news stories reporting such a caricature of a congregation that has been such a blessing to the UCC’s Wider Church mission,” said the Rev. John H. Thomas, UCC general minister and president, in a released statement. “ … It’s time for us to say ‘No’ to these attacks and declare that we will not allow anyone to undermine or destroy the ministries of any of our congregations in order to serve their own narrow political or ideological ends.”

Trinity United Church of Christ’s ministry is inclusive and global. The following ministries have been developed under Dr. Wright’s ministerial tutelage for social justice: assisted living facilities for senior citizens, day care for children, pastoral care and counseling, health care, ministries for persons living with HIV/AIDS, hospice training, prison ministry, scholarships for thousands of students to attend historically black colleges, youth ministries, tutorial and computer programs, a church library, domestic violence programs and scholarships and fellowships for women and men attending seminary.

Moss added, “The African American Church was born out of the crucible of slavery and the legacy of prophetic African American preachers since slavery has been and continues to heal broken marginalized victims of social and economic injustices. This is an attack on the legacy of the African American Church which led and continues to lead the fight for human rights in America and around the world.”

Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. preached the Christian tenet, “love thy neighbor as thyself.” Before Dr. King was murdered on April 4, 1968, he preached, “The 11 o’clock hour is the most segregated hour in America.” Forty years later, the African American Church community continues to face bomb threats, death threats, and their ministers’ characters are assassinated because they teach and preach prophetic social concerns for social justice. Sunday is still the most segregated hour in America."

Wild Thing's comment........

Moss delivered a fiery sermon Sunday, defending the African-American church’s right to speak out about social issues.”

No one is saying you can’t speak out on social issues. Its the America is racist, the white man caused 9-11, hate America, hate white people etc. that is disgusting.

Sorry but playing the victim card will not fly.

Sunday Morning Talking Points From The DNC

Chris Dodd is defending Obama on Fox saying “guilt by association is un-American.”
Chris Dodd, Obama has rejected these statements, we don’t need to dwell on it, we need to move on.
And then Dodd went on and is defending Obama on Fox saying “guilt by association is un-American.

Sen Bradley says the pastor is no big deal, he is retiring anyway.Let's move on.

Rep. Nita Lowey, D-N.Y, Obama has made his statements about this and it is time ito move on.

Nancy Pelosi : It is time to move on.

Wild Thing's comment.........

When Obama and his wife repearly heard someone that agreed with them and saying it from the pulpit and they did! Then my feeling is that it gave Michelle Obama even more nerve when she made her comment about "for the first time in her life being proud of being an American."

This association with Wright is not a casual thing. It is not getting an endorsement from a guy that you’ve had no real history with. It’s twenty years of close association and mutual support. It is bad.

LOOK AT THIS VIDEO:
He praises his preacher and also warns of "Quite Riot among Blacks”.

In June of 2007, Obama attended the 93rd annual Hampton University Ministers’ Conference and it was videotaped. In the first minutes of the video, Obama had this to say:

“I’ve got to give a special shout-out to my pastor, the guy who puts up with me, counsels me, listens to my wife complain about me. He’s a friend, and a great leader. Please everybody give an extraordinary welcome to my pastor, the Reverend Jeremiah Wright, Jr. ...Where he at? -There he is! That’s him right there!”

Repeatedly, he referred to the riots that erupted in Los Angeles after a jury acquitted four police officers of assault charges in the 1991 beating of Rodney King, a black motorist, after a high speed chase. Fifty-five people died and 2,000 were injured in several days of riots in the city's black neighborhoods.

"Those 'quiet riots' that take place every day are born from the same place as the fires and the destruction and the police decked out in riot gear and the deaths," Obama said. "They happen when a sense of disconnect settles in and hope dissipates. Despair takes hold and young people all across this country look at the way the world is and believe that things are never going to get any better."

He argued that once a hurricane hits or a jury renders a not guilty verdict, "the frustration is there for all to see."

Obama and Rezko - Match made in heaven

Not guilty"

The use of this phrase isn't the only thing Barack Obama and Antoin Rezko have in common.

Obama insists he's just gullible but we ought to give the Democratic presidential nominee more credit than that. But where's the 'change'? We've always had lying and corrupted politicians!

Additional note:
Obama has released his tax returns for 2006 ONLY and this was just the form; no attachments were released. He didn't release the 2007 one. His tax return forms from all his time in the Senate are not available to the public either.
When Obama spokesperson, Bill Burton is asked about any pre-2006 or 2007 returns, he says he "will keep you posted."

Some info about MIchelle's 2005 tax return: Her salary as an administrator at the "not-for-profit University of Chicago Hospitals" nearly tripled to $316,962, from $121,910 in 2005.

Wild Thing's comment.........

Obama just keeps demonstrating to the nation poor judgment. His choice in a preacher ( which I will always believe he and Michelle agreed with 100%) and his choice in others in his life like Rezko and Ayers and who knows who else that will show up in the furture.

I’ll take “Thrown Under The Bus” for $500, Alex

Controversial minister leaves Obama campaign

Presidential candidate condemns words but not ministry of former pastor

msnbc

Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill., condemned racially charged sermons by his former pastor Friday and urged Americans not to reject his presidential campaign because of “guilt by association.”

Obama’s campaign announced that the minister, the Rev. Jeremiah Wright Jr., had left its spiritual advisory committee after videotapes of his sermons again ignited fierce debate in news accounts and political blogs.

Obama did not clarify whether Wright volunteered to leave his African American Religious Leadership Committee, a loose group of supporters associated with the campaign, or whether the campaign asked him to leave.

“I think there was recognition that he’s obviously on the verge of retirement, [that] he’s taking a sabbatatical and that it was important for him to step out of the spotlight in this situation,” Obama said.

Wright was the latest in a series of advisers to Obama and Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton, D-N.Y., who have stepped aside as supporters of both candidates trade racially charged accusations.

Obama rejects comments

Obama spoke warmly of Wright, who retired last month as pastor of Trinity United Church of Christ in Chicago. Wright is a man “I’ve known for 17 years, who helped bring me to Jesus, helped bring me to church,” he said.

“I strongly condemn” Wright’s statements, but “I would not repudiate the man,” Obama said. “He’s been preaching for 30 years. He’s a man who was a former Marine, a biblical scholar, someone who’s spoken at theological schools all over the country.

“That’s the man I know,” Obama said. “That’s the man who was the pastor of this church.”

But Obama acknowledged that “there’s no doubt this is going to be used as political fodder, as it has been in the past.”

“What I hope is that what the American people will trust is what I believe,” he said, that “my values, my ideas, what I’ve spoke about in terms of bringing the country together will override a guilt by association.”

But the sermons, at least one of which was delivered long before Wright retired last month, revived uncomfortable questions about Obama’s ties to the minister, whom conservative critics have accused of advocating black separatism.

A videotape of one sermon captures Wright using a harsh racial epithet to argue that Clinton could not understand the struggles of African Americans.

“Barack knows what it means, living in a country and a culture that is controlled by rich white people,” Wright said on Christmas Day of last year. “Hillary can never know that. Hillary ain’t never been called a [N-word]!”

In another sermon, delivered five days after the 9/11 attacks, Wright seems to imply that the United States had brought the terrorist violence on itself.

“We bombed Hiroshima, we bombed Nagasaki, and we nuked far more than the thousands in New York, and we never batted an eye,” Wright says. “We have supported state terrorism against the Palestinians and black South Africans, and now we are indignant because the stuff we have done overseas is brought right back in our own front yards.”

In a later sermon, Wright revisits the theme, declaring: “No, no, no, not God bless America — God damn America!”

Wild Thing's comment........

B.Hussein Obama was questioned last night on various news channels about his hate monger rascist preacher and church.

Too little , too late. Obama has known this guy is a racist America-hater for 20 years. Obama wrote that Wright was his mentor. And this church is also probably part of what has fed Obama's wife, Michelle, the hate she abounds with and speaks about.

They went because they agreed with what was said in the church simple as that. And this is lilke getting caught with your hand in the cookie jar. The Obama's relationship with Wright and this Church has a long history, and is completely voluntary on his part. He joined this Church, and if he attended it even infrequently he must have heard at least some of those sermons.

Dude can you spare some CHANGE?

Obama: Rezko Raised Up to $250K

AP for complete article ( some of this article I am not including in this post I have already posted about in the last few weeks, but this part is new information)

CHICAGO

Presidential candidate Barack Obama said Friday that he got more political money from indicted Chicago businessman Antoin "Tony" Rezko than he has previously acknowledged.

Rezko helped raise up to $250,000 for his various political races, Obama's campaign said. The campaign had previously put the figure at $150,000 but now says that amount was only for his 2004 Senate race.

And in interviews with two Chicago newspapers, the Democrat again said it was a mistake to involve Rezko in his purchase of a new home — not just because Rezko was under federal investigation but because he was a contributor and political activist.

Still, Obama said he did nothing unethical.

"He never once asked me for any favors, or ever did any favors for me," the Illinois senator said in an interview with the Chicago Sun-Times. "He never gave me any gifts or gave me any indication he was setting me up to ask for any favors in the future."

Obama met Friday with the editorial boards of the Chicago Tribune and Sun-Times in an effort to resolve nagging questions about his relationship with Rezko, a Chicago businessman and major fundraiser in Illinois politics.

Rezko is on trial on charges including mail fraud and attempted extortion. Federal prosecutors say he tried to use his connections to Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich to demand kickbacks from companies wanting to do business with state government.

Wild Thing's comment........

That's some SERIOUS "CHANGE"!!! CHANGE WE CAN BELIEVE IN!!!....LOL sorory I could not help myself. haha

I have a question about Senator Barack Hussein Obama. Obama was born in 1961, and was therefore required to register for Selective Service (”the Draft”) under the law. Does anyone know if he registered?

"He never once asked me for any favors"

Um hey Obama I have news for you. When you do any kind of business with low lifes such as criminals or let's say Mafia types you are not always asked for a favor on the spot, it might take months or years when your FAVOR is due. And when it is you better sure as heck be available to return whatever the favor you are asked to do.

Some History Of B.Hussein Obama and Jeremiah Wright

Obama's Church: Cauldron of Division

newmax archives

August 9th, 2007

Presidential candidate Barack Obama preaches on the campaign trail that America needs a new consensus based on faith and bipartisanship, yet he continues to attend a controversial Chicago church whose pastor routinely refers to "white arrogance" and "the United States of White America."

The connection between the two goes back to Obama's days as a young community organizer in Chicago's South Side when he first met the charismatic Wright. Obama credited Wright with converting him, then a religious skeptic, to Christianity.

"It was ... at Trinity United Church of Christ on the South Side of Chicago that I met Rev. Jeremiah A. Wright Jr., who took me on another journey and introduced me to a man named Jesus Christ. It was the best education I ever had," Obama described his spiritual pilgrimage to a group of church ministers this past June.

Since the 1980s, Obama has not only remained a regular attendee at Wright's services in his inner city mega church, Trinity United Church of Christ, along with its other 8,500 members, he's been a close disciple and personal friend of Wright.

Wright conducted Obama's marriage to his wife Michelle, baptized his two daughters, and blessed Obama's Chicago home. Obama's best-selling book, "The Audacity of Hope," takes its title from one of Wright's sermons.

Several prior remarks by Obama's pastor have caught the media's attention:

* Wright on 9/11: "White America got their wake-up call after 9/11. White America and the Western world came to realize people of color had not gone away, faded in the woodwork, or just disappeared as the Great White West kept on its merry way of ignoring black concerns." On the Sunday after the attacks, Dr. Wright blamed America.

* Wright on the disappearance of Natalee Holloway: "Black women are being raped daily in Africa. One white girl from Alabama gets drunk at a graduation trip to Aruba, goes off and gives it up while in a foreign country and that stays in the news for months."

* Wright on Israel: "The Israelis have illegally occupied Palestinian territories for over 40 years now. Divestment has now hit the table again as a strategy to wake the business community and wake up Americans concerning the injustice and the racism under which the Palestinians have lived because of Zionism."

* Wright on America: He has used the term "middleclassness" in a derogatory manner; frequently mentions "white arrogance" and the "oppression" of African-Americans today; and has referred to "this racist United States of America."

Wright's strong sentiments were echoed in the Sunday morning service attended by NewsMax.

Wright laced into America's establishment, blaming the "white arrogance" of America's Caucasian majority for the woes of the world, especially the oppression suffered by blacks.

To underscore the point he refers to the country as the "United States of White America." Many in the congregation, including Obama, nodded in apparent agreement as these statements were made.

The sermon also addressed the Iraq war, a frequent area of Wright's fulminations.

"Young African-American men," Wright thundered, were "dying for nothing." The "illegal war," he shouted, was "based on Bush's lies" and is being "fought for oil money."

In a sermon filled with profanity, Wright also blamed the war on "Bush administration bulls--t."

Wright first came to national attention in 1984, when he visited Castro's Cuba and Col. Muammar Gaddafi's Libya.

Wright's Libyan visit came three years after a pair of Libyan fighter jets fired on American aircraft over international waters in the Mediterranean Sea, and four years before the bombing of Pan Am Flight 103 over Lockerbie, Scotland — which resulted in the deaths of 259 passengers and crew. The U.S. implicated Gaddafi and his intelligence services in the bombing.

In recent years, Wright has focused his diatribe on America's war on terror and the U.S. occupation of Iraq.

Obama attributed Wright's controversial views to Wright being "a child of the '60s" who Obama said "expresses himself in that language of concern with institutional racism, and the struggles the African-American community has gone through."

"It is hard to imagine, though, how Mr. Obama can truly distance himself from Mr. Wright," writes Jodi Kantor of The New York Times. On the day Sen. Obama announced his presidential quest in February of this year, Wright was set to give the invocation at the Springfield, Ill. rally. At the last moment, Obama's campaign yanked the invite to Wright.

Wright's camp was apparently upset by the slight, and Obama's campaign quickly issued a statement "Senator Obama is proud of his pastor and his church."

Since that spat, there is little evidence, indeed, that Sen. Obama has sought to distance himself from the angry Church leader. In June, when Obama appeared before a conference of ministers from his religious denomination, Wright appeared in a videotaped introduction.

One of Obama's campaign themes has been his claim that conservative evangelicals have "hijacked" Christianity, ignoring issues like poverty, AIDS, and racism.

This past June, in an effort to build a new consensus between his new politics and faith, Obama's campaign launched a new Web page, www.faith.barackobama.com.

On the day the page appeared on his campaign site, it offered testimonials from Wright and two other ministers supporting Obama. The inclusion of Wright drew a sharp rebuke from the Catholic League. Noting that Obama had rescinded Wright's invitation to speak at his announcement ceremony, Catholic League President Bill Donohue declared that Obama "knew that his spiritual adviser was so divisive that he would cloud the ceremonies."

He noted that Wright "has a record of giving racially inflammatory sermons and has even said that Zionism has an element of ‘white racism.' He also blamed the attacks of 9/11 on American foreign policy."

Donohue acknowledged that Obama may have different views than Wright and the other ministers on his Web site, but "he is responsible for giving them the opportunity to prominently display their testimonials on his religious outreach Web site."

Political pundits have suggested that Obama's problems with Wright are not ones based on faith, but pure politics. The upstart presidential candidate needs to pull most of the black vote to have any chance of snagging the Democratic nomination. Obama's ties to Wright and the activist African American church helps in that effort.

But the same experts same those same ties may come to haunt him if he were to win the nomination and face a Republican in the general election.

The worry is not lost on Wright.

"If Barack gets past the primary, he might have to publicly distance himself from me," Wright told The New York Times with a shrug. "I said it to Barack personally, and he said 'yeah, that might have to happen.'"

Wild Thing's comment.......

This preacher is not preaching the gospel, he is simply preaching hate. I don't get why if someone hates America so much why they stay here. There are other countries they can move to.

Krauthammer said (about Wright) “ This is not a problem, this is a cancer”.

Memo From McCain's Camp : Play Nice

McCain topper to allies: Stay on message

The Politico

"After being forced to respond to three separate incidents in recent weeks of conservatives alluding to Barack Obama's middle name, John McCain's campaign manager today sent a memo to top supporters urging them to stick to the campaign's preferred message -- and to avoid taking gratuitous shots at their Democratic rivals. 'Overheated rhetoric and personal attacks on our opponents distract from the big differences between John McCain's vision for the future of our nation and the Democrats,' wrote Rick Davis in a document the campaign e-mailed to Republican officials and staffers this afternoon. 'This campaign is about John McCain: his vision, leadership, experience, courage, service to his country and ability to lead as commander in chief from day one.' McCain, Davis added, 'has held himself to the highest standards and he will continue to run a respectful campaign based on the issues. We expect that all supporters, surrogates and staff will hold themselves to similarly high standards when they are representing the campaign. To help guide you, please find talking points below.'"

So the McCain campaign has sent out talking points to supporters, surrogates, and staff telling them what to say. "Those talking points focus entirely on McCain's biography and positions on key issues."

And from Rush Limbaugh because he said exactly how I feel about this:

" I have to tell you, this doesn't apply to me, folks. No, it doesn't. I'm not trying to be provocative here. This does not apply to me. I'm not a surrogate. I am a liberated American who will discuss the candidates as I see fit, without the help of the McCain campaign and their talking points. Can you believe this? Talking points? This is going to extend beyond just surrogates and staff and anybody that speaks for McCain, is going to be asked to stick to these talking points. I've never heard of a candidate issuing talking points to supporters, telling them to stick to those points and not to express their own views their own ways."

"This is still pandering to the lib media, folks. Just stick to this, if you would, please. Just say that McCain has the experience, the judgment, the character to lead America in a dangerous world. That's one of the primary talking points. This is not the way we Republicans do things. We don't do this. You're -- you're asking us to compromise our principles. This is something the Democrats do. You remember the calls. "Where is your integrity on this? "

Wild Thing's comment...........

Um what happened to freedom of speech? Just asking of course but it seems to be talking points, memo's and forget about speaking the truth. I agree with Rush, this will never apply to me, nor to this blog. I would not waste my time doing one post if I had to be under some kind of American version of Islamic law or something. No thank you.

And oh just one more thing, I will never do what this jerk Rick Davis of all people requests.
Past post about Rick Davis:

I guess they just want us to go off quietly, in silence and not mention anything we learn about. Hear no evil, see no evil and speak no evil. Sorry I did not come from a monkey. LOL

B. Hussein Obama's Mentor Jeremiah Wright Obama's Minister

Barack Obama's mentor, Jeremiah Wright of Trinity UCC (United Church of Christ) preaching on the notion of a black Jesus being oppressed by white people and his tirade against Hillary Clinton stating that, "Hillary ain't never been called a......

And then there is also this, it should mean trouble for Obama but since there is a double standard it probably won't:

Obama’s Controversial Pastor Puts Church in Hot Water

Fox News elections

CHICAGO - Barack Obama’s controversial pastor and the church he’s served for 36 years may be in hot water over statements he has made from the pulpit in support of the Illinois senator’s run for the White House.

The Rev. Jeremiah Wright Jr. preaches that he follows the righteous path, but when it comes to the federal tax law, his Trinity United Church of Christ may have crossed the line.

Although Wright delivered what was billed as his final sermon last month on his path to retirement, prior to his departure he delivered commentary from the pulpit now being scrutinized in which he praised Obama.

“There is a man here who can take this country in a new direction,” Wright said during his Jan. 13 sermon, according to recordings obtained by FOX News.

It was not the first time Wright appeared to endorse Obama, who was baptized at Trinity United, has been an active member of the church for two decades and receives spiritual mentorship from Wright.

The title of Obama’s second book, “The Audacity of Hope,” was taken from a sermon by Wright.

During a Christmas sermon, Wright tried to compare Obama’s upbringing to Jesus at the hands of the Romans.

“Barack knows what it means living in a country and a culture that is controlled by rich white people,” Wright said. “Hillary would never know that.

“Hillary ain’t never been called a nigger. Hillary has never had a people defined as a non-person.”

In his Jan. 13 sermon, Wright said:

“Hillary is married to Bill, and Bill has been good to us. No he ain’t! Bill did us, just like he did Monica Lewinsky. He was riding dirty.”

FOX News purchased the video recordings of Wright’s sermons from the church.

“It’s pretty clear an indirect endorsement of Barack Obama - that’s not something you’re supposed to do according to the tax code,” said Andrew Walsh, a professor at Trinity College who specializes in religion in politics.

The tax code bans churches from participating in or intervening in a political campaign. Violations can result in the loss of a church’s tax exempt status.

The Obama campaign issued a statement in response to FOX News’ inquiries about Wright’s sermons.

“Senator Obama has said repeatedly that personal attacks such as this have no place in this campaign or our politics, whether they’re offered from a platform at a rally or the pulpit of a church,” said Bill Burton, a campaign spokesman.

“Senator Obama does not think of the pastor of his church in political terms. Like a member of his family, there are things he says with which Senator Obama deeply disagrees.”

Obama defended Wright’s longtime activism for blacks in America last week at a campaign event in Ohio.

“Jeremiah Wright … has said some things that are considered controversial because he’s considered that part of his social gospel,” Obama said.

The Internal Revenue Service wouldn’t comment on whether it is looking into potential tax violations at Trinity United. The church declined to make Wright available for an interview.

Congregant Dwight Hopkins, a professor of Theology at the University of Chicago, said there is no basis for the IRS to go after the church.

“From the church side they will say it’s theology,” said. “If it wasn’t a senator running for president and it wasn’t his church, then I think we could say all kinds of things.”

The IRS has written dozens of letters warning churches against political advocacy from the pulpit. Yet it has revoked a church’s tax-exempt status only twice in the last half-century.

Walsh said it’s not typical for the IRS to enforce the rules.

“There’s a tension here between the desires of the religious leaders to say important things in the public marketplace and the IRS rules, and so most of the time, the IRS does not enforce these rules,” Walsh said.

The public scrutiny of these sermons comes in the wake of last month’s revelation by the head of the United Church of Christ that the IRS is investigation a speech Obama gave at the denomination’s national conference last year in Connecticut.

In a certified letter, Marsha Ramirez, IRS director, EO Examinations, wrote:

“Our concerns are based on articles posted on several Web sites including the church’s which state the United States Presidential Candidate Senator Barack Obama addressed nearly 10,000 church members gathered at the United Church of Christ’s biennial General Synod at the Hartford Civic Center, on June 23, 2007. In addition, 40 Obama volunteers staffed campaign tables outside the center to promote his campaign.”

The church and the Obama campaign have denied that any inappropriate political advocacy occurred during this speech.

Wright’s sermons often address themes of white supremacy and black repression, and critics have called them racially divisive.

Wild Thing's comment........

This is one very sick minister, human being!

I don't understand hate, there are people I don't respect at all, there are people I think should go to jail or even yes be executed for treason. But I don't waste time in my heart to hate any of them. Hate like love is a strong emotion and unlike love that is a positive force, hate is destructive as much to the person it is directed upon as it is the person holding hate in their heart. Maybe it is called categorizing feelings I don't know. It is just that I say how I feel about let's say Hanoi Jane or Kerry, Murtha etc. rant about them, know what I would like done to them for punishment and then I move on. I know there is only so much I can do about my anger at them even though it runs deep within me. At the moment of a rant I can feel my blood like it is boiling, but when the rant is done my blood stops boiling till the next time. haha

My enemy is the enemy within our country. They are the ones that concern me the most. Not the terrorists you might ask? No they aren't. Sure I want to be safe and all, but we know if we had to we could shoot them if they attacked us, if the situation was such that we had a gun with us at the time. But the enemy within is killing our country, and seems bound and determined to hand it over to the followers of Islam / socialism/progressives / communism / globalize. They are my immediate enemy and that kind of fight would have to be done with strong leaders that think and believe like we do. And that is the catch 22 that drives me up a wall. Because those kind of leaders are few and far between and most certainly none of them are running for President. And there is no way anyone should do violence against this kind of enemy it would be wrong and against the law as well. It is not an enemy that can be shot no matter what.

If I was in the military I would want to be a Marine sniper. One shot, one kill no remorse. Job done and go on with what I had to do next. But this is not life in the military, this is political suicide, this death to America is something that creeps across our land in laws, and PC and protesters against those fighting to keep us safe and living in the land of the free. It is back room deals and secret talks about amnesty and how to ignore existing immigration laws.

The enemy within has their sites on our Flag and what it stands for, on what our Founding Fathers fought each other and worked so hard to make the America we have to exist. They loath our military and have lied to our Veterans with the stroke of a pen. They leave our POW's behind not by accident but intentionally as we know this has happened and is documented. They use poisons on our troops in the jungle and now too in the land of sand. Then deny their guilt and responsibility when the soldier gets home and gets sick. Making it hard as heck to get the right treatment. They scoff at rebuttals as though we are beneath them and they are the ones that live each day with hate ruling their very being just like the followers of Islam.

And just like this preacher of Obama's church, a man filled with hate, smaller then small in character and only is capable of preaching his hate instead of working to do positive things for blacks. It is easier to yell vile things then it is to teach ethics and high character and how blessed they should be to live in America. No instead it is hate the white people and cop out to being responsible human beings and citizens. "Give me give me" like Michelle Obama has talked about in her speeches.

Being a positive person I can only say to pray, pray for America, pray for our military and their families. We can be fighters, Patriots and warriors and we need to be. We should never give up on this great land, this is the best country in the entire world.It might be where we have to go through some hell and it sure seems so but we will get our chance as long as we don't give up. The enemy doesn't realize and never will, it would take a thousand of them to equal ONE of you.

McCain's Campaign Condemns King's Remarks About Obama

McCain Slams Rep. King’s Obama Comments

newsmax

John McCain’s presidential campaign has condemned remarks by Rep. Steve King, who claimed that terrorists will be “dancing in the streets” if Democrat Barack Obama is elected president.

"The senator rejects the type of politics that degrades our civics, and this campaign will be about the future of our country," said Jill Hazelbaker, spokeswoman for the presumptive Republican nominee.

"McCain could not be clearer on how he views these types of comments, and obviously that view extends to Congressman King's statement."

King, a three-term Republican from Iowa, made the comments to a radio station on Friday as he announced his bid for another term in the House, the Washington Post reported.

"I don't want to disparage anyone because of their race, their ethnicity, their name — whatever their religion their father might have been," King said.

"I'll just say this: When you think about the optics of a Barack Obama potentially getting elected president of the United States — I mean, what does this look like to the rest of the world? What does it look like to the world of Islam?"

King then said: "I will tell you that if he is elected president, then the radical Islamists, the al-Qaida, the radical Islamists and their supporters, will be dancing in the streets in greater numbers than they did on September 11 because they will declare victory in this war on terror."

King then told Fox News on Saturday that if “we elect Obama to the presidency and . . . if they don’t dance in the streets, I will come and apologize to you and everybody in America. But I’m saying, ‘I’m right.’”

Obama responded during a campaign stop in Mississippi on Monday: “I think that Mr. King has it backwards. The fact that the continuation of a presence in Iraq as Sen. McCain has suggested is exactly what, I think, will fan the flames of anti-American sentiment and make it more difficult for us to create a long-term and sustainable peace in the world.”

Wild Thing's comment.......

I stand with King...McCain needs to apologize to King.

Regarding my being ticked at McCain for his being a liberal, it never seems to end..........Michael Corleone: "Just when I thought that I was out they pull me back in."

I don't see how McCain can campaign against either Obama or Hillary, especially if every time a Republican says something anti-Democrat, he jumps in to defend the lib. I have never seen a politician do so much to alienate his base as McCain has.

It's true. Terrorists will be dancing in the streets. Tough cookies but Obama has painted himself as a terrorist-enabler by offering them a "summit". Terrorists don't deserve a "summit". All the hand-wringing will bring us an Obama presidency.

By Todd SpivaK

It was the year 2000, and I was a young, hungry reporter in Chicago with a young, hungry state legislator on my speed dial.

It's not quite eight in the morning, and Barack Obama is on the phone screaming at me. He liked the story I wrote about him a couple weeks ago, but not this garbage.

Months earlier, a reporter friend told me she overheard Obama call me an asshole at a political fund-raiser. Now here he is blasting me from hundreds of miles away for a story that just went online but hasn't yet hit local newsstands.

It's the first time I've ever heard him yell, and I'm trembling as I set down the phone. I sit frozen at my desk for several minutes, stunned.

This is before Obama Girl, before the Secret Service detail, before he becomes a best-selling author. His book, Dreams From My Father, has been out of print for years.

I often see Obama smoking cigarettes on brisk Chicago mornings in front of his condominium high-rise along Lake Michigan, or getting his hair buzzed at the corner barbershop on 53rd and Harper in his Hyde Park neighborhood.

This is before he becomes a U.S. senator, before Oprah starts stumping for him, before he positions himself to become the country's first black president.

He is just a rank-and-file state senator in Illinois, and I work for a string of small, scrappy newspapers there.

The other day, while stuck in traffic on Houston's Southwest Freeway, I was flipping through right-wing rants on AM radio. Dennis Praeger was railing against Michelle Obama for her clumsy comment on being proud of her country for the first time.

Praeger went on to call her husband a blank slate. There's no record to look at, he complained, unless you lived in Barack Obama's old state Senate district.

Well, I lived and worked in that district for three years—nearly half Obama's tenure in the Illinois Legislature. D-13, the district was called, and it spanned a large swath of Chicago's poor, black, crime-ridden South Side.

It was 2000, and I was a young reporter at the Hyde Park Herald and Lakefront Outlook community newspapers earning $19,000 a year covering politics and crime.

I talked with Obama on a regular basis—a couple times a month, at least. I'd ask him about his campaign finance reports, legislation he was sponsoring and various local issues. He wrote an occasional column published in our papers. It ran with a headshot that made him look about 14 years old.

Spinning through my old Rolodex, I see that I had two cell phone numbers for Obama. Both have since been disconnected.

I also had cell phone numbers for Jesse Jackson; his son, Congressman Jesse Jackson Jr.; and David Axelrod, who now serves as Obama's senior presidential campaign advisor.

Axelrod, too, had begun his journalism career at the Hyde Park Herald before joining the Chicago Tribune as a political reporter, then starting a political consulting firm. Another Hyde Park Herald alum was Seymour Hersh, the legendary investigative reporter who uncovered the My Lai massacre for the St. Louis Post-Dispatch and the Abu Ghraib prisoner-abuse scandal for The New Yorker.

My view of Obama then wasn't all that different from the image he projects now. He was smart, confident, charismatic and liberal. One thing I can say is, I never heard him launch into the preacher-man voice he now employs during speeches. He sounded vanilla, and activists in his mostly black district often chided him for it.

I was 25 and had no problem interviewing big-wig politicians, but I always had to steel my nerves when calling Obama. His intelligence was intimidating, and my hands inevitably shook and sweated.

It was serendipity that I ever came to know Obama at all. Looking back, I think of it as a Forrest Gump moment: History was unfolding, and I was at the center of it, clueless. It's a huge bummer to me that I never taped our interviews.

I moved to Chicago from the East Coast after a bad breakup. I had just one year of newspaper experience, working the courts beat for a small Vermont daily.

I picked Chicago because I had friends there. Plus, it was one of the few American cities left with two competing dailies, upping my chances of landing a gig.

I arrived determined to work for one of the big papers. I once spent an entire day dressed up in my only suit and tie—the one I wore to my brother's wedding, where I ripped a hole in the knee while dancing with my niece—and stood, résumé in hand, outside the newsroom at the dumpy old Chicago Sun-Times building.

Columnist Neil Steinberg was gracious enough to accept my folder and even gave me his home number to call later that night. Unimpressed by my clips, Steinberg said most new recruits graduated from top journalism schools such as Northwestern or Columbia—or their mommies or daddies worked at the paper or knew somebody who did.

His advice: To work in Chicago, you have to leave Chicago. Go prove yourself someplace else, kid.

I had a friend at one of the local journalism schools who let me tag along for a school-sponsored tour of the Chicago Tribune building. After the tour, page-two columnist John Kass told us about how he got picked up by the Tribune while in his early 20s after breaking a big story at a little South Side paper.

I spent three months sleeping on a friend's floor on the city's South Side. He was a broke grad student who had earned a mostly free ride at the University of Chicago, working toward a Ph.D. in comparative literature. His studio apartment in Hyde Park was tiny.

We joked that the only way I could stretch my legs at night was to open the oven in the kitchen. It was like the old blues lyric, "I got a gal she's long and tall, sleeps in the kitchen with her feet in the hall."

Obama, who then earned about $50,000 a year as a rookie state senator, lived in a small condo just two blocks away. I had never met or even seen his wife, Michelle, though I'd heard she was employed at University of Chicago Hospitals. Their second daughter, Natasha, had not yet been born.

Every day, I walked past the Hyde Park Herald office, set upstairs from Obama's barbershop. The newspaper box out front said all I needed to know. It was dented, covered in graffiti and broken. The thing ate your two quarters and offered nothing in return.

I didn't want to work there. My aspirations were bigger than that.

Desperate, I finally swallowed my pride, climbed the steep, smelly staircase and submitted my shamefully thin résumé to the receptionist. To my dismay, the editor called later that afternoon with a job offer.

Chris Matthews, the MSNBC political pundit, recently grilled Texas state Senator Kirk Watson for supporting Obama despite knowing nothing about the candidate's legislative record.

"Can you name any—can you name anything he's accomplished?" Matthews pressed.

"No," Watson, whose district includes Austin, finally admitted. "I'm not gonna be able to do that."

"Well, that's a problem, isn't it?" Matthews said.

Hillary Clinton recalled the incident with a chuckle during last Thursday's debate at the University of Texas.

When asked about his legislative record, Obama rattles off several bills he sponsored as an Illinois lawmaker.

He expanded children's health insurance, made the state Earned Income Tax Credit refundable for low-income families, required public bodies to tape closed-door meetings to make government more transparent and required police to videotape interrogations of homicide suspects.

And the list goes on.

It's a lengthy record filled with core liberal issues. But what's interesting, and almost never discussed, is that he built his entire legislative record in Illinois in a single year.

Republicans controlled the Illinois General Assembly for six years of Obama's seven-year tenure. Each session, Obama backed legislation that went nowhere; bill after bill died in committee. During those six years, Obama, too, would have had difficulty naming any legislative achievements.

Then, in 2002, dissatisfaction with President Bush and Republicans on the national and local levels led to a Democratic sweep of nearly every level of Illinois state government. For the first time in 26 years, Illinois Democrats controlled the governor's office as well as both legislative chambers.

The white, race-baiting, hard-right Republican Illinois Senate Majority Leader James "Pate" Philip was replaced by Emil Jones Jr., a gravel-voiced, dark-skinned black senator known for chain-smoking cigarettes on the Senate floor.

Jones had served in the Illinois Legislature for three decades. He represented a district on the Chicago South Side not far from Obama's. He became Obama's kingmaker.

Several months before Obama announced his U.S. Senate bid, Jones called his old friend Cliff Kelley, a former Chicago alderman who now hosts the city's most popular black call-in radio program.

I called Kelley last week, and he recollected the private conversation as follows:

"He said, 'Cliff, I'm gonna make me a U.S. senator.'"

"Oh, you are? Who might that be?"

"Barack Obama."

Jones appointed Obama sponsor of virtually every high-profile piece of legislation, angering many rank-and-file state legislators who had more seniority than Obama and had spent years championing the bills.

"I took all the beatings and insults and endured all the racist comments over the years from nasty Republican committee chairmen," state Senator Rickey Hendon, the original sponsor of landmark racial profiling and videotaped confession legislation yanked away by Jones and given to Obama, complained to me at the time. "Barack didn't have to endure any of it, yet, in the end, he got all the credit.

"I don't consider it bill jacking," Hendon told me. "But no one wants to carry the ball 99 yards all the way to the 1-yard line and then give it to the halfback who gets all the credit and the stats in the record book."

During his seventh and final year in the Illinois Senate, Obama's stats soared. He sponsored a whopping 26 bills passed into law—including many he now cites in his presidential campaign when attacked as inexperienced. It was a stunning achievement that started him on the path of national politics, and he couldn't have done it without Jones.

Before Obama ran for U.S. Senate in 2004, he was virtually unknown even in his own state. Polls showed less than 20 percent of Illinois voters had ever heard of Barack Obama.

Jones further helped raise Obama's profile by having him craft legislation addressing the day-to-day tragedies that dominated local news headlines.

For instance, Obama sponsored a bill banning the use of the diet supplement ephedra, which killed a Northwestern University football player, and another one preventing the use of pepper spray or pyrotechnics in nightclubs in the wake of the deaths of 21 people during a stampede at a Chicago nightclub. Both stories had received national attention and extensive local coverage.

I spoke to Jones earlier this week, and he confirmed his conversation with Kelley, adding that he gave Obama the legislation because he believed in Obama's ability to negotiate with Democrats and Republicans on divisive issues.

So how has Obama repaid Jones?

Last June, to prove his commitment to government transparency, Obama released a comprehensive list of his earmark requests for fiscal year 2008. It comprised more than $300 million in pet projects for Illinois, including tens of millions for Jones' Senate district.

Shortly after Jones became Senate president, I remember asking his view on pork-barrel spending.

I'll never forget what he said:

"Some call it pork; I call it steak."

In Hyde Park, I eventually moved into a room a few blocks from the newspaper offices. For $150 a month, I lived in a former servants' quarters with a closet and a connecting bathroom set just off the kitchen in a dingy apartment occupied by several grad students. My 8-by-8 room fit a mattress on the floor and not much else.

During those rare moments when I wasn't working or hanging out with my new girlfriend, I sat on the apartment's crumbling back deck smoking cigarettes and drinking beer in cans with a very nice but drug-addicted homeless woman who crashed in a sleeping bag on the cement floor below. A couple years later, I wrote her obituary.

Hyde Park was the most racially integrated neighborhood in a city with a long, tortured history of segregation. Along 53rd Street, the neighborhood's main commercial corridor, chess players filled the parks, student activists chanted political slogans and women clad in bright colors and elaborate headwraps sang church hymns while strolling the sidewalks.

I would sometimes sit smoking on the fire escape outside my office and feel like I'd wandered into a Spike Lee film.

The communities surrounding Hyde Park were predominantly black and impoverished, marked by high crime, boarded-up storefronts and vacant lots. Some residential areas were several miles away from banks and grocery stores.

On the stump, Obama has frequently invoked his experiences as a community organizer on the Chicago South Side in the early 1990s, when he passed on six-figure salary offers at corporate law firms after graduating from Harvard Law School to direct a massive voter-registration drive.

But, as a state senator, Obama evaded leadership on a host of critical community issues, from historic preservation to the rapid demolition of nearby public-housing projects, according to many South Siders.

Harold Lucas, a veteran South Side community organizer who remembers when Obama was "just a big-eared kid fresh out of school," says he didn't finally decide to support Obama's presidential bid until he was actually inside the voting booth on Super Tuesday.

"I'm not happy about the quality of life in my community," says Lucas, who now heads a black-heritage tourism business in Chicago. "As a local elected official, he had a primary role in that."

In addition to Hyde Park, Obama also represented segments of several South Side neighborhoods home to the nation's richest black cultural history outside of Harlem.

Before World War II, the adjacent Bronzeville community was known as the "Black Metropolis," attracting black migrants seeking racial equality and economic opportunity from states to the south such as Louisiana, Mississippi and Texas.

Storied jazz clubs such as Gerri's Palm Tavern regularly hosted Duke Ellington, Billie Holiday, Josephine Baker and many others. In the postwar era, blues legends Muddy Waters, Howlin' Wolf and B.B. King all regularly gigged in cramped juke joints such as the Checkerboard Lounge.

When the city of Chicago seized the 70-year-old Gerri's Palm Tavern by eminent domain in 2001, sparking citywide protests, Obama was silent. And he offered no public comments when the 30-year owner of the Checkerboard Lounge was forced to relocate a couple years later.

Even in Hyde Park, Obama declined to take a position on a years-long battle waged by hundreds of local community activists fighting against the city's plan to replace the historic limestone seawall along Lake Michigan—a popular spot to sunbathe and swim—with concrete steps.

It would be comparable to representing Barton Creek in Austin and sidestepping any discussion about conservation.

Obama's aloofness on key community issues for years frustrated Lucas and many other South Siders. Now they believe he was just afraid of making political enemies or being pigeonholed as a black candidate. Lucas says he has since become an ardent Obama supporter.

"His campaign has built a momentum of somebody being born to the moment," Lucas says. "He truly gives the perception that he could possibly pull us all together around being American again. And the hope of that is worth the risk when you look at the other candidates. I mean, you can't get away from old school when you look at Hillary."

Lucas even believes Obama made the right choice by declining PBS talk-show host Tavis Smiley's invitation to speak at this week's State of the Black Union 2008 conference in New Orleans.

"Obama can't bring those issues up if he wants to be elected," Lucas says. "And that's the travesty of the situation that we find ourselves in as African-Americans."

In the presidential campaign, Obama has been criticized for a shady land deal and other past ties to Tony Rezko, the Chicago real estate developer and ubiquitous political donor who now faces federal charges of attempted extortion and money laundering.

In a debate held before the South Carolina primary, Hillary Clinton charged that Obama had legally represented Rezko "in his slum landlord business in inner-city Chicago." The issue was turned back on her a few days later when an old picture of a smiling Clinton posing with Rezko surfaced on Drudge Report.

Though it didn't make national news, Obama inflamed many residents in his old state Senate district last March when he endorsed controversial Chicago alderman Dorothy Tillman in a runoff election.

Flamboyant and unpredictable, Tillman is perhaps best known for once pulling a pistol from her purse and brandishing it around at a city council meeting. The ward she represented for 22 years, which included historic Bronzeville, comprised the city's largest concentration of vacant lots.

Just three months before Obama made his endorsement, the Lakefront Outlook community newspaper ran a three-part investigative series exposing flagrant cronyism and possible tax-law violations that centered on Tillman and her biggest pet project, a taxpayer-funded cultural center built across the street from her ward office that had been hemorrhaging money since its inception.

The series won a national George Polk Award, among the most coveted prizes in journalism. Not bad for a 12-page rag with a circulation of 12,000 and no Web site. (I had already left the Outlook and had nothing to do with the project.)

In the end, Tillman lost the election despite Obama's endorsement, which critics said countered his calls for clean government. Obama told the Chicago Tribune that he had backed Tillman because she was an early supporter of his 2004 U.S. Senate campaign.

Many speculate Obama only bothered to weigh in on a paltry city council election during his presidential campaign as a gesture to Chicago's powerful Mayor Richard M. Daley, a Tillman supporter. Even so, Obama should have remained neutral, says Timuel Black, a historian and City Colleges of Chicago professor emeritus who lived in Obama's state Senate district.

"That was not a wise decision," Black says. "It was poor judgment on his part. He was operating like a politician trying to win the next step up."

Obama has spent his entire political career trying to win the next step up. Every three years, he has aspired to a more powerful political position.

He was just 35 when in 1996 he won his first bid for political office. Even many of his staunchest supporters, such as Black, still resent the strong-arm tactics Obama employed to win his seat in the Illinois Legislature.

Obama hired fellow Harvard Law alum and election law expert Thomas Johnson to challenge the nominating petitions of four other candidates, including the popular incumbent, Alice Palmer, a liberal activist who had held the seat for several years, according to an April 2007 Chicago Tribune report.

Obama found enough flaws in the petition sheets—to appear on the ballot, candidates needed 757 signatures from registered voters living within the district—to knock off all the other Democratic contenders. He won the seat unopposed.

"A close examination of Obama's first campaign clouds the image he has cultivated throughout his political career," wrote Tribune political reporters David Jackson and Ray Long. "The man now running for president on a message of giving a voice to the voiceless first entered public office not by leveling the playing field, but by clearing it."

Three years later, in September 1999, Obama was already preparing his first U.S. Congress campaign. He ran against veteran incumbent Bobby Rush, a former co-founder of the Illinois chapter of the Black Panther Party.

Rush painted the largely unknown freshman lawmaker as an out-of-touch elitist and won the 2000 primary by more than 30 percentage points.

Three years later, in January 2003, Obama announced his bid for the U.S. Senate, in which he cruised to victory thanks to the self-destruction of his top opponents in both the primary and general elections.

Obama joined a field of seven candidates vying to fill an open Senate seat being vacated by retiring two-term incumbent Peter Fitzgerald. For months, he polled in the middle of the pack behind frontrunner and former securities trader Blair Hull, who spent $30 million of his own fortune on the primary.

But Hull's campaign imploded just weeks before the election when his divorce files were unsealed, revealing an ex-wife's charges of verbal and physical abuse.

Obama unleashed a barrage of television ads just before the election, when the other candidates had largely depleted their war chests. He won the nomination with 53 percent of the vote.

In the general election, Obama squared off against another multimillionaire: Jack Ryan, who later dropped out of the race after a judge ordered his divorce files unsealed. The documents revealed that Ryan's ex-wife, actress Jeri Ryan, a former Miss Illinois best known for her role as Seven of Nine on Star Trek: Voyager, accused him of trying to coerce her to perform sex acts in public.

Obama spent several weeks facing no opponent as the Illinois Republican Party exhausted a laundry list of replacement candidates that included former Chicago Bears coach Mike Ditka. The GOP ended up recruiting two-time failed presidential hopeful Alan Keyes from Maryland to fill the slot.

Keyes' strategy of using bombastic rhetoric to attract headlines turned off most voters. Most memorably, he said Jesus would not vote for Obama and that homosexuals, including Vice President Dick Cheney's daughter, participated in "selfish hedonism."

In the end, Obama won more than 70 percent of the vote in the most lopsided Senate election in Illinois history and became the fifth black person to win a seat in the U.S. Senate.

Three years later, in February 2007, Obama announced his bid for the White House in front of the Old State Capitol in Springfield, where Abraham Lincoln had made his famous "house divided" speech.

I moved to Springfield in early 2004 to work for the Illinois Times, where I covered Obama's U.S. Senate bid.

My first assignment was to profile Obama, who was largely unknown in Central Illinois.

In fact, at that time just four years ago, Obama was still largely unknown even in his own community.

I followed Obama one wintry morning as he visited several black churches on Chicago's South Side urging people to vote for him in the upcoming primary. Congregants greeted him with lukewarm applause.

I noted in my article that one lady sitting in a pew beside me was noticeably impressed with the young man and asked to borrow my pen. She wrote on her church program, "Obama, March 16," then underlined the date.

Over the years, most of my interviews with Obama were conducted by phone. So it felt good when he immediately recognized me and shouted my name from the end of a long, empty hallway inside the church after his speech.

After all, I admired the guy—and still do.

We shook hands and walked outside together. I asked some questions and snapped some pictures before a dark blue Chevrolet Suburban with tinted windows whisked him off to another congregation less than a mile away. I followed behind in my beat-up Oldsmobile.

My story ran on the cover of the Illinois Times. The more I thought about it, though, the more I thought it was fluff. Obama's own public relations flack could have produced something comparable.

At the time, the Illinois media had fallen head-over-heels in love with Obama and his squeaky clean image. "As pedigrees go, there is not a finer one among the Democratic candidates," the Chicago Tribune gushed in its endorsement.

All this predated TV pundit Chris Matthews' more recent comment that Obama's speeches send chills up his legs.

"He's been given a pass," says Harold Lucas, the community organizer in Chicago. "His career has been such a meteoric rise that he has not had the time to set a record."

A week after my profile of Obama was published, I called some of my contacts in the Illinois Legislature. I ran through a list of black Chicago lawmakers who had worked with Obama and was surprised to learn that many resented him and had supported other candidates in the U.S. Senate election.

"Anybody but Obama," the late state Representative Lovana Jones told me at the time.

State Representative Monique Davis, who attended the same church as Obama and co-sponsored several bills with him, also did not support his candidacy. She complained of feeling overshadowed by Obama.

"I was snubbed," Davis told me. "I felt he was shutting me out of history."

In a follow-up report published a couple weeks later, I wrote about these disgruntled black legislators and the central role Senate President Emil Jones played in Obama's revived political life.

The morning after the story was posted online, I arrived early at my new offices. I hadn't taken off my coat when the phone rang. It was Obama.

The article began, "It can be painful to hear Ivy League-bred Barack Obama talk jive."

Obama told me he doesn't speak jive, that he doesn't say the words "homeboy" or "peeps."

It seemed so silly; I thought for sure he was joking. He wasn't.

He said the black legislators I cited in the story were off-base and that they couldn't have gotten the bills passed without him.

I started to speak, and he shouted me down.

He said he liked the other story I wrote.

I asked if there was anything factually inaccurate about the latest story.

He repeated that his former colleagues couldn't have passed the bills without him.

He asked why I wrote this story, then cut me off when I started to answer.

He said he should have been given a chance to respond.

I told him I had requested an interview through his communications director.

He said I should have called his cell phone.

I reminded him that he had asked me months ago to stop calling his cell phone because of his busier schedule.

He said again that I should have called his cell phone.

Today I no longer have Obama's cell phone number. I submitted two formal requests to interview Obama for this story through his Web site but have not heard back. I also e-mailed interview requests to three of his top staffers, but none responded.

Maybe he'll call the day after this story runs. I'll get to the office early just in case. And this time I'll have my recorder ready.

Clinton and B. Hussein Obama Fighting Over Torture

Obama, Clinton Campaign Spar Over Torture

Hillary Clinton’s campaign responded Sunday to charges from rival Barack Obama that the New York senator “flip-flopped” on the issue of torture during her presidential campaign, saying she held strong positions against its use by government officials.

When President Bush vetoed a bill Saturday that would have prohibited the CIA from using harsh interrogation techniques, Obama used the occasion to criticize his Democratic presidential opponent.

"We need a Commander in Chief who has never wavered on whether or not it is acceptable for America to torture, because it is never acceptable,” said Obama. “While I have consistently opposed torture, in the course of this primary campaign Hillary Clinton has flip-flopped from her past position of tolerating torture. …

“When I am president, the American people and the world will be able to trust that I will outlaw torture, because unlike Senator Clinton I have never made an exception for torture and I never will."

Obama was making a reference to Clinton’s decision late last year to rule out any use of these techniques in interrogations, after a meeting with a group of retired generals who opposed their use. Earlier, Clinton had said they might be an option if authorities suspected their use might help prevent an imminent attack – a position that was also held by her husband, former President Bill Clinton.

The Clinton campaign responded with a statement that said her “strong position opposing torture” had led to her endorsement by Gen. Antonio Taguba, who wrote the official report on the military’s Abu Ghraib scandal.

Wild Thing's comment.........

How about waterboarding both of them and see who wins. hahaha

Obama's kind of leadership sends a nice warm and fuzzy hug to the terrorists that we have no spine, we are weak, we will cater to them and just say pretty please tell us what you know. Oh you don't feel like it, ok, want to just sit here and play backgammon? Sheesh!!!!

I am a huge believer that our government our CIC should never ever say NO to what would be done or not regarding torture. I don't think we should ever say what we would go for or not go for. Only the military should know these kind of tactics and it is no business of the enemy to be hearing about this kind of thing.

But we do have a problem Houston since all three candidates are against torture. ( shaking my head )

Barack Obama Is Anti-American

Obama Stops Wearing American Flag Pin

WATERLOO, Iowa (AP) - Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama says he doesn't wear an American flag lapel pin because it has become a substitute for "true patriotism" since the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks. Asked about it Wednesday in an interview with KCRG-TV in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, the Illinois senator said he stopped wearing the pin shortly after the attacks and instead hoped to show his patriotism by explaining his ideas to citizens. "The truth is that right after 9/11 I had a pin," Obama said. "Shortly after 9/11, particularly because as we're talking about the Iraq war, that became a substitute for I think true patriotism, which is speaking out on issues that are of importance to our national security. "I decided I won't wear that pin on my chest," he said in the interview. "Instead, I'm going to try to tell the American people what I believe will make this country great, and hopefully that will be a testament to my patriotism."

Wild Thing's comment.........

I really am going to have a problem with this person if he wins the election. I don't care if he doesn't wear the Flag lapel pin that is not the point. What does matter to me is the reason he gives why he does not wear one.

If he wins I will not call him President or even Mr., I will show no form of respect for this total POS.

Obama Camp Wants McCain to Denounce Rep.Steve King

Iowa, Rep. Steve King

Obama Camp Wants McCain to Denounce Rep. for Saying Terrorists Will Rejoice for Him

Fox News election news

John McCain’s campaign distanced itself Saturday from a supporter who told an Iowa newspaper that terrorists would be “dancing in the streets” if Barack Obama is elected president.

Iowa Rep. Steve King made the remarks to the Daily Reporter in Spencer, Iowa, basing his prediction on Obama’s pledge to pull troops out of Iraq, his Kenyan heritage and his middle name, Hussein. Obama’s campaign immediately called on McCain to denounce the remarks.

McCain traveling press secretary Brooke Buchanan told FOX News that King has no affiliation with the campaign.

“The Senator has been clear that he intends to keep this campaign about the issues. He has condemned similar comments by (radio talk show host) Bill Cunningham. He doesn’t agree with King’s comments,” Buchanan said. “He intends to run a respectful race and keep it about the issues.”

The Arizona senator recently chided Cunningham after the Cincinnati talk show host referred to Obama three times as “Barack Hussein Obama” while introducing McCain.

“These comments have no place in our politics,” Obama spokesman Tommy Vietor said earlier, before McCain’s campaign responded to King.

King told the Daily Reporter that his comments were not meant to demean Obama but to warn how an Obama presidency would look to the world.

“The radical Islamists, the Al Qaeda … would be dancing in the streets in greater numbers than they did on Sept. 11 because they would declare victory in this war on terror,” King said.

“His middle name does matter,” King said. “It matters because they read a meaning into that.”

Wild Thing's comment........

Obama is out of touch with reality if he doesn’t know that King is right. King is on target. McCain would do well to remember who his friends are.

B.Hussein Obama ~ Building a Religion

Wild Thing's comment.........

What the hell happened to this being a Presidential election?!?!?!

His followers remind me of those Jim Jones followers. Brain dead idiots, seeking someone to pay attention to them and believing anything the person says even if he is saying trash!

The only thing is though this man is much more dangerous them Jim Jones ever was, this man will destroy our country and not just a small group of civilians tucked away from the world.

Rasmussen Report

42% of all voters said the person they’d most want to answer the phone was John McCain. Among all voters, 25% picked Clinton and another 25% named Obama
Among Democrats, 46% said they’d like Clinton to take that call while 36% named Obama. Among Republicans, 79% named McCain while neither Democrat reached double digits.

Among unaffiliated voters, 39% said McCain would be their top choice to handle such a crisis.

An Obama foreign policy advisor said that neither Democrat was prepared to take that call, a comment that John McCain was quite happy to endorse.

.......Thank you Cuchieddie for sending this YouTube video link to me.

Obama and Gore: the dream ticket???

German Mardi Gras float

What If There is No Back Room?

The search for a way out of the Democrats' dilemma

Newsweek for complete article

Eleanor Clift

"No matter who wins the remaining primaries, there's no way for Barack Obama or Hillary Clinton to capture enough delegates to reach the magic number of 2,025 needed to secure the Democratic nomination. The decision will then fall to the superdelegates, elected officials and party people often demonized in the media as hacks or backroom operators. A majority of them will swing behind one or the other candidate—likely Hillary Clinton—boosting her over the top even if she lags behind Barack Obama in the pledged delegate count.
And they will do this dastardly deed behind closed doors, in the electronic equivalent of the smoke-filled room, plotting over cell phones and making their decision based on implied favors and self-interest.

The roughly 350 superdelegates who have not yet endorsed are all free agents. There's nothing that says they have to act in concert, and they'll work to avoid anything that fuels conspiracy theories. "My real worry is there is no back room," says this adviser. Clinton says she'll go all the way to the convention in August. If there's a stalemate, the superdelegates could decide to pass on the first ballot to test the candidates' strength at that juncture. We could then be way back to the future, the first time in the modern reform age that a candidate is not chosen on the first ballot.

If that happens, the convention could turn to a compromise candidate. Al Gore is the most obvious and perhaps the only contender who could head off a complete meltdown in the party. "

It is also being written about here..........and this one is written by an extremely obvious Obama supporter kool aid brain. hahahhaa

Obama and Gore: the dream ticket

National Post

"This means that the Democrats have only one dream ticket: Obama and Al Gore who is the only potential candidate with more national security experience, and world profile, than Republican John McCain. Without Gore as Obama's running mate, the party's continuing candidate contest will simply play into McCain's hands ...."

"The facts are that neither Obama nor Hillary have as much experience as does McCain. Hillary has an experienced husband, but she never even had security clearance in the White House. No First Lady does and no First Lady, including Bill, should have be privy to national secrets and strategy sessions"

Wild Thing's comment.......

I put the two links because it does show it is being discussed. The first one from Lynn is the best one, because the second one I found is so pro Obama it is sickening.

Not sure how much of this is wishful thinking on the part of Eleanor Clift, but in thinking about it I don't see Al Gore playing VP again. Gore is not going to be second fiddle ever again He is an unstable person imo and I think that is why he likes his playing the Global warming god to his mother earth goddess he worship's.....what is it called Gia or something like that.

Also Gore is making tons of money now fleecing gullible idiots.

Whatever ticket Obama will be on, his own alone, or under Hillary hahaha is a “nightmare” as well as a national disgrace.

Thank you so much Lynn for sending the first link and article to me.

Thank you Mark for the photo of the German Mardi Gras float.

Yes, We Can- Barackapella from Lewis & Clark College, Oregon

"This is an a cappella version of the song "Yes We Can." We are a group of students from Lewis & Clark College in Portland, Oregon.
From the website

On Friday the 29th, leap day, some members of my a cappella group and I did a benefit show called Barackappella at my college in Portland, Oregon. It was so much fun, I wanted to share the story with you.

I support Barack Obama. I am very happy about the phenomenal voter turn out and political participation his campaign for the presidency is inspiring, and I am so excited about what I believe he will do as president. One of the many things I like about Obama is that he inspires action among really diverse groups of people. He inspires different people in different ways, but a lot of us love his speeches. A few weeks ago a group of famous artists put portions of some of his speeches to music, and made a very cool video called Yes We Can. Millions of people have watched it at the original site and also on YouTube, where it was re-posted.

I cried the first time I watched this video, and I know I was not alone. It is so nice to hear a “We” instead of an “I”. It is so nice to be so proud of a person who represents our country as a senator, and who I believe will be our President. Words do matter. I feel empowered when I say “Yes I Can,” and I feel even more empowered when I feel connected to something large enough to say “Yes We Can”. I believe more empowerment and civic engagement would be great for our country, and our world.

Just days after first watching this video, some friends and I wondered if we could arrange an a cappella version. I was already in an a cappella group at my school called MoMo and the Coop, and I knew that most of the other members were also Obama supporters. Long story short, most members of our group and another friend decided to do a benefit concert, and to call our concert Barackappella. Our performance was one of many “Leap for Change” events nationwide. About eighty people attended, including some of MoMo and the Coop’s fan base, and many Obama supporters we had not seen before. Some in the audience were much younger than me, and others could have been my grandparents. The video above is our version of Yes We Can, we also posted videos of the seven other songs we sang that night.

I am the guy with pink pants in the video, in case you were curious. I hope you enjoy it, it was so wonderful for me. By the end of the song my normally confident voice was quivering - definitely a symptom of my strong emotions, not stage fright. The audience really loved it, but I cherish most the proud and excited expressions of my friends who helped build this version of Yes We Can. Thanks guys.

The original Yes We Can speech was phenomenal, and the Yes We Can video is probably a lot more impressive musically, but I think our project is special. We are not famous or powerful, I think we are an interesting bunch, but all things considered we are ordinary Americans. But, we are participating in this movement in a way we would not have for any other politician since we were born. We are participating in our own way because a very inspiring person told us that ordinary Americans could do extraordinary things..."

Obama Adviser Resigns After Comment

Obama Aide Resigns After Calling Clinton a ‘Monster’ in Interview With Scottish Paper

Yahoo news

WASHINGTON

A Barack Obama adviser resigned Friday after calling rival Hillary Rodham Clinton "a monster."

Samantha Power, an unpaid foreign policy adviser and Harvard professor, announced her resignation in a statement provided by the Obama campaign in which she expressed "deep regret."

"Last Monday, I made inexcusable remarks that are at marked variance from my oft-stated admiration for Senator Clinton and from the spirit, tenor, and purpose of the Obama campaign," she said. "And I extend my deepest apologies to Senator Clinton, Senator Obama and the remarkable team I have worked with over these long 14 months."

Power's interview Monday was published Friday in a Scottish newspaper, even though she tried to keep it from appearing in print.

"She is a monster, too ? that is off the record ? she is stooping to anything," The Scotsman quoted her as saying.

As U.S. news media picked up on the remark, Power issued a statement of apology and the campaign said Obama decried the characterization.

The Clinton campaign held a conference call with several of the former first lady's congressional supporters calling for Power to be fired.

"Senator Obama has called for change, and a new kind of politics," said New York Rep. Gregory Meeks. "This is the worst kind of politics."

Clinton spokesman Howard Wolfson noted that those involved in the Clinton campaign had been removed when they spoke of Obama's teenage drug use or helped spread the false rumor that the Illinois senator is a Muslim.

He defended his own comparison of Obama to independent prosecutor Kenneth Starr, saying he'd been responding to "attacks" from the Obama campaign regarding Clinton's tax returns and real estate transactions. That, he said, was a clear reference to Whitewater and so it was appropriate to bring up Starr in that context.

Wild Thing's comment........

LOL As they say the truth shall set you free. heh heh

First you can't make fun of Obama's ears, then you can't call him a LIBERAL, then you can't use his middle name HUSSEIN. And now in this Presidential race you can't call Hillary a monster. LMAO

Hey grow up boys and girls running for President, first Hillary is a monster, Obama is a liberal and his middle name is Hussein. I guess the next thing is a person can't say Obama is black. I mean what other obvious bits of information about these candidates is the world going to be unable to say.

Political Correctness is a bad idea. The list of things "you can't say" keeps growing and growing. Meanwhile, the stuff I hear on TV -- stuff people "shouldn't say" around children -- keeps increasing.

I read long ago about some of the name calling that was often used during the campaigns of Andrew Jackson. Monster would have been user friendly compared to some of the names he and his staff used, and they were Democrats. hahaha

She should not have resigned. What a sense of power Horrible Hillary must now have. First McCain goes on his knees because somebody used Barack’s middle name, now “monster” is added to the naughty word list. What about those who have called Bush a Nazi? That is okay?

Hillary, Michelle Obama, Obama, Bill Clinton, are ALL MONSTERS.

And regarding Samantha Power, from a post I did about her awhile back.

"One Obama adviser who's especially difficult to explain away is Samantha Power, whose views are virulently anti-Israel and none too warm towards American Jews. Perhaps Obama can explain which of Powers' views (as documented by Lasky and Baehr) make her so attractive to him. Is it her view that the Jewish lobby pushed us into war with Iraq (a view that even Walt and Mearsheimer are no longer willing to defend)? Is it her view of Israelis as war criminals whose tactics the U.S. mimics to its detriment in Iraq? Is it her outrage at the way Israel treated the U.N.'s faux peacekeepers in South Lebanon, the ones who stood by while Hezbollah gained a dominant position and used it to commit aggression against Israel? Perhaps it's simply her willingness to embrace virtually every slander of Israel that can be dredged from the fever swamp, and the hatred of that State this willingness reflects."

' America Is A 'bully' Says B.Hussein Obama

Obama says America is a 'bully'

Presidential candidate calls for more diplomacy, less bluster

WASHINGTON

In his election-night speech from San Antonio, Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama called for America to rely more on diplomacy and less on bluster, characterizing recent U.S. policy as "bullying."

In the context of a blistering critique of U.S. policy in Iraq, Obama said: "It's the same course that continues to divide and isolate America from the world by substituting bluster and bullying for direct diplomacy."

Obama did not specify where America was acting in the bully role.

Obama, and his wife, Michelle, have been criticized by some Republicans for what appears to be increasingly harsh rhetoric critical of both America's domestic and foreign affairs.

Sure isn't that what someone would say when running for President of the greatest country in the entire world? NOT!!!

Michelle Obama: America is ‘Just Downright Mean’

America is ‘Just Downright Mean’

New York Mag Daily Intelligencer

Two weeks after making her disdain for the nation clear during a campaign speech for her husband in Wisconsin, Michelle further debased America by saying that we're a country that is "just downright mean."

Given how media made excuses for her comments in Wisconsin, it will be quite interesting to see just how much of her interview in the March 10th edition of The New Yorker.

"Obama begins with a broad assessment of life in America in 2008, and life is not good: we're a divided country, we're a country that is "just downright mean," we are "guided by fear," we're a nation of cynics, sloths, and complacents. "We have become a nation of struggling folks who are barely making it every day," she said, as heads bobbed in the pews. "Folks are just jammed up, and it's gotten worse over my lifetime. And, doggone it, I'm young. Forty-four!"

"You're looking at a young couple that's just a few years out of debt," Obama said. "See, because, we went to those good schools, and we didn't have trust funds. I'm still waiting for Barack's trust fund. Especially after I heard that Dick Cheney was s'posed to be a relative or something. Give us something here!"

The Obamas' financial standing has risen sharply in the past three years, largely as a result of the money Barack earned from writing "The Audacity of Hope." In 2005, their income was $1.67 million, which was more than they had earned in the previous seven years combined.

"The life that I'm talking about that most people are living has gotten progressively worse since I was a little girl. . . . So if you want to pretend like there was some point over the last couple of decades when your lives were easy, I want to meet you!"

Wild Thing's comment........

Keep her talking. LOL Michelle is all about gloom and doom. ‘Give me something.’ Great, a perfect First Lady she’d make. NOT!! And I think the ‘mean’ she is seeing is in her.

If Michelle were to look in her (Obama Mirror) she would see the true racist.(Herself)

"Folks are just jammed up, and it's gotten worse over my lifetime."

Jammed up? What kind of talk is that from someone wanting to be First Lady.

B. Hussein Obama`s rallying cry - “Yes, we can!”

Michelle Obama`s rallying cry - “Give me something!”

Walks Like A Duck, Talks Like A Duck, It's A Duck!

Obama Served On Board That Funded Pro-Palestinian Group

The Jewish Press

JERUSALEM

Democratic presidential frontrunner Sen. Barack Obama served as a paid director on the board of a nonprofit organization that granted funding to a controversial Arab group that mourns the establishment of Israel as a "catastrophe."

The co-founder of the Arab group, Columbia University professor Rashid Khalidi, is a harsh critic of Israel who reportedly worked on behalf of the Palestine Liberation Organization when it was labeled a terror group by the State Department.

Khalidi held a fundraiser in 2000 for Obama's failed bid for a seat in the U.S. House of Representatives.

Although AAAN co-founder Rashid Khalidi has at times denied working directly for the PLO, he reportedly served as director of the official PLO press agency WAFA in Beirut from 1976 to 1982, a period during which the PLO committed scores of anti-Western attacks and was labeled by the U.S. as a terror group.

While the Woods Fund's contribution to Khalidi's AAAN might be perceived as a one-time contact with Obama, there is evidence of a deeper relationship between the presidential hopeful and Khalidi.

According to a professor at the University of Chicago who said he has known Obama for 12 years, the senator first befriended Khalidi when the two worked together at the university. The professor spoke on condition of anonymity. Khalidi lectured at the University of Chicago until 2003; Obama taught law there from 1993 until his election to the Senate in 2004.

Khalidi said he supports Obama for president "because he is the only candidate who has expressed sympathy for the Palestinian cause."

In addition to questions about his relationship with Khalidi, Obama may face increased scrutiny over his ties to William C. Ayers, a member of the Weather Underground terrorist group that sought to overthrow the U.S. government and took responsibility for a string of bombings in the early 1970’s.

Obama served on the Woods Fund board alongside Ayers (who is still on the board). Ayers, a professor at the University of Illinois at Chicago, has written about his involvement with the Weather Underground’s bombing of U.S. governmental buildings including the Capitol in 1971 and the Pentagon in 1972.

Although charges against him were dropped in 1974 due to prosecutorial misconduct, Ayers told a newspaper reporter several years ago that he had no second thoughts about his violent past. "I don’t regret setting bombs. I feel we didn’t do enough," Ayers told The New York Times in an interview published, ironically, on Sept. 11, 2001.

In his memoir, Fugitive Days, Ayers wrote: "Everything was absolutely ideal on the day I bombed the Pentagon" – though he continued with a disclaimer that he didn’t personally set the bombs but his group placed the explosives and planned the attack.

Besides serving with Obama on the board of the Woods Fund, Ayers contributed $200 to Obama’s senatorial campaign fund and has served on panels with Obama at several public speaking engagements.

Wild Thing's comment........

This is the craziest election year since I’ve been voting age. The democrat party is pro Arab Islamic state in Israel in general and anti Christian and Jewish in works also. So of course they will do what Europe does as they are pro UN and anti American sovereignty anyway.

They all hate America in their love of perverse diveristy and the world citizen under totalitarion and cruel one world government is their end, even if they don’t think it is.

Run a candidate that has a Muslim name.
Run that candidate with the Muslim name with a Muslim background.
Run that candidate with the Muslim name and Muslim background with pro-Muslim connections.
Run that same candidate with those same connections in the U.S. during a war in which U.S. is battling Islam.
And do it during a time in U.S. history when the battle cry is diversity, multiculturalism, and nonjudgmentalism.
Run a candidate that is immune to ALL criticism of any kind, because to criticize would make you a racist, AND THERE'S NOTHING WORSE THAN THAT in today's modern life.

I hope America's sense of nationalism and self-preservation kicks in in time.

Michelle Obama is Not Proud of Her Country AGAIN !

Susan Estridge: “Hillary looked great tonight. Barack Obama looked good, but tonight he was not born in the manger.”

John McCain has Won the Republican Nomination for President

Huckabee has just dropped out of the race.

B. HUSSEIN Obama wins Vermont.

Hillary wins Rode Island.
Hillary wins Ohio.
Hillary wins Texas.

She finally won something so now she stays in and keeps the heat on Obama. The longer Hillary stays in the race, the more the demorats will be divided and get nasty with each other.

GOP voters crossing over in large numbers

cleveland.com

Poll watchers throughout Ohio are noting large numbers of Republican voters crossing over to vote in the Democratic Primary between Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton.
In the Republican roost of Chagrin Falls, veteran poll worker Liz McFadden was amazed at the number of people jumping the party's ship. Democrats accounted for 70 percent of the voters in her precinct, one of seven at the village's high school.

"That's a complete reversal of what it normally is, even more so," she said. "I've never seen a switch like this."

The defectors had motives both pure and sinister.

One woman voted for Clinton in hopes of delivering John McCain a weaker debate opponent. Another picked Obama because her vote could help deny Clinton and her husband a return trip to the White House.

A 69-year-old Catholic nun, Sister Ann Marie, was converted to the Clinton camp because of the former first lady's experience. John Baggett, another ex-Republican for Clinton, said he simply wanted to switch, and Clinton represented a known commodity.

"I'm happy with Republicans, in general," Baggett, 50, said. "I don't believe they've done a good job the last eight years."

In Strongsville, middle-aged couple Lucy and Pete See -- longtime Republicans -- both voted for Hillary Clinton. "I like that she has more experience in foreign affairs," Pete See said. "The Republican candidate was older than me.

Lucy See said she voted for Clinton as well. "I want to be part of makiing history," she said.

In North Ridgeville, pollworkers said that by noon nearly 50 Rebublicans had switched to vote Democrat, the highest crossover since the 2000 election.

Voter interest was so high that a line was forming just after 6 a.m. at the polling site, the party room of the Ridgefield subdivision off Bagley Road.

In Chester Township in Geauga County, also a GOP stronghold, Democrats had outvoted Republicans by nearly 50 percent early in the going. Geauga Elections Board Director Arch Kimbrew said that trend was being duplicated throughout the county.

Kimbrew said morning turnout has convinced him that his projection of a 45-percent turnout will be too low. "There are a lot of Democrats out and at every polling place," he said.

And there is this, they are already fighting...................

Clinton Camp's Conference Call Surprise

Howard Wolfson, communications director, acknowledged the “chaotic” nature of the caucus system but said that what was happening in Texas “is not typical. It’s actually quite extraordinary.”

The Clinton campaign said they had received hundreds of complaints to support their allegations. But they said they wouldn’t be taking any legal action Tuesday evening. Rather, the call with reporters was intended to “draw attention” to the issue.

Campaign officials got a surprise when they opened the conference call to questions. Instead of a reporter, they heard the voice of Bob Bauer, a legal adviser to the Obama campaign. Bauer accused the Clinton campaign of being anti-caucus, citing complaints from Iowa, where Clinton came in third, and a lawsuit the campaign filed in Nevada, a caucus state that Clinton, in fact, won.

Wolfson thanked him for his participation, denied his allegations and said that next time the Obama campaign held a phone call that they would look forward to being part of it. Woflson described Bauer as “someone we all know” and said he was “attempting a vigorous defense of the indefensible.”

The exchange between Bauer and the Clinton staff just CLICK HERE, it is near the top of the page.

Obama’s Troubles Mount

Obama’s Troubles Mount — Just in Time for the Latest Primaries!

Barack Obama must be wondering how the worst press he’s received practically all campaign season came down just before today’s primaries — his chance to close the deal. He can look inward for answers.

The big story, of course, is the meeting an Obama advisor, Austin Goolsbee, had with a Canadian official about NAFTA. After Canadian TV reported that Goolsbee had assured the Canadian official that basically all Obama’s tough talk on NAFTA was political maneuvering, the Obama campaign denied the meeting ever took place.

Then, on cue, a Canadian memo surfaced confirming that the meeting did take place. The Obama campaign’s evasive answers and qualified denials have failed to placate a press corps determined to prove they’re holding Obama accountable.

At the same time, a former Obama supporter, Antoin Rezko, begins his trial in Chicago for influence peddling. While nothing unethical or illegal has been proven about Obama’s relationship with Rezko, the fact that new details are still emerging raises doubts about Obama’s previous claims that he has divulged everything about their association.

None of this meshes well with Obama’s claim to be running on a new kind of politics, and, from looking at the polls showing a Clinton rebound, voters are taking notice.

Wild Thing's comment........

Will his devout followers care I don't think so, mostly because they seem to be in some kind of la la land with their chanting and fainting and reaching out just to touch his hand.

There are so many things about Obama that move he is a dangerous man for our country. We could almost have our pick of what is wrong with him.

Who Is Nadhmi Auchi and What's His Tie to Obama?

Nadhmi Auchi

Video is about Obama wrote letters of support for deal involving Rezko

Who Is Nadhmi Auchi and What's His Tie to Obama?

By Jack Kelly

You probably would have heard of Nadhmi Auchi by now if Sen. Barack Obama were a Republican.
A British citizen of Iraqi descent, Mr. Auchi, 70, is a billionaire, the 279th richest man in the world, according to a Forbes magazine survey last year.

A great deal of Mr. Auchi's money was made doing business with the regime of Saddam Hussein, much of it under the table. In 1987, Mr. Auchi helped French and Italian firms win a huge oil pipeline contract in Iraq, chiefly by paying off Iraqi officials, according to testimony given by an Italian banker to prosecutors in Milan. In 2003, he was convicted for his role in what was then the largest scandal in French history, involving payoffs from executives of the oil company now known as Total to political figures in Spain, Germany and Africa.

"He has been able to collect British politicians the way other people collect stamps," wrote Nick Cohen in a 2003 profile of Mr. Auchi in the left wing British newspaper the Observer.

Mr. Auchi was a leading supplier of arms to Saddam's regime. A former Belgian ambassador to Luxembourg charged that a bank in Luxembourg owned principally by Mr. Auchi laundered funds -- including oil for food money -- for Saddam and other Islamic dictators.

"The name Nadhmi Auchi was just another name for Saddam's intelligence service, or so we thought," said Nibras Kazimi, a former Iraqi dissident who is now a visiting scholar at the Hudson Institute in Washington D.C.

Mr. Auchi is a business partner of Syrian-born businessman Antoin "Tony" Rezko, who has supported Mr. Obama financially since his first run for the Illinois state senate in 1996.

Mr. Rezko currently is in jail awaiting trial on charges he extorted money from firms seeking to do business with the state of Illinois. (Mr. Rezko was also a fund raiser for Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich.)

Mr. Rezko's bail was revoked Jan. 28 when the trial judge learned that he, friends and relatives had been wired $3.5 million from firms in Lebanon controlled by Mr. Auchi. The judge feared Mr. Rezko was about to flee the country.

Federal prosecutors allege a $10,000 contribution made by Mr. Rezko to Sen. Obama came from a $250,000 kickback, but there is no evidence Sen. Obama was aware of the source of the funds.

Nor is there evidence Sen. Obama did any favors for Mr. Rezko that skirted the law.

The most eyebrow raising connection between Mr. Rezko and Sen. Obama is the assistance Mr. Rezko provided in the purchase of the mansion on Chicago's South Side that Sen. Obama bought in 2005.

The Obamas bought the house for $1.65 million -- $300,000 below the asking price -- perhaps because Mr. Rezko's wife purchased from the owner an adjacent garden plot for $625,000. (The sellers deny they offered the Obamas a discount.) The Times of London wondered where Mrs. Rezko got the money to buy the garden plot. At the time, she had a salary of $37,000 and assets of only $35,000, the Times learned. Her husband told a court that at the time he had "no income, negative cash flow, no liquid assets," the Times said.

The Times learned Mr. Rezko received an earlier $3.5 million loan from Mr. Auchi on May 23, 2005, through the Panamanian company Fintrade Services SA.

Mr. Rezko has described Mr. Auchi as a "close friend." Mr. Auchi says they have only a business relationship. They've been partners in a chain of pizza restaurants in Wisconsin and in a major real estate development in Riverside Park in Chicago.

The connection between Mr. Auchi and Sen. Obama is tenuous. But given Mr. Auchi's shady past, his history of bribing politicians, it's not unreasonable to ask if Mr. Auchi, through Mr. Rezko, was trying to buy influence with a rising political star. And it's curious that outside of the Chicago Sun Times and the Chicago Tribune, both of which have written extensively on the Rezko-Obama relationship, only a British newspaper is asking.

Wild Thing's comment........

but there is no evidence Sen. Obama was aware of the source of the funds. Nor is there evidence Sen. Obama did any favors for Mr. Rezko that skirted the law.

To paraphrase Donald Rumsfeld, the absence of evidence (of wrongdoing by Obama) is not the same as the evidence of absence.

This is from an article back in 2004

"Banque Paribas, headquartered in Paris, with a significant portion of shares owned by Saddam's cousin Nadhmi Auchi, moved money for the Al-Mahdi network in the 1980s and was the bank chosen to handle the Iraqi oil-for-food payments. In fact, Iraq insisted that Paribas handle the oil-for-food escrow account. A corporate document for Al Taqwa Trade, Property and Industry Co. Ltd. of Liechtenstein -- an al-Qaeda network shell company also shut down by the United States -- lists Banque Paribas, Lugano, where it had accounts. (Paribas in 2000 merged with another French bank to create BNP Paribas, with Auchi continuing as one of the largest shareholders.)"

Following Saddam Hussein's Secret Money-Laundering Trail

"A detailed analysis of Saddam Hussein’s secret money-laundering techniques shows here for the first time how he used the same offshore money launderers as Osama bin Laden. That covert money network, based in the tax havens of Switzerland, Liechtenstein, Panama and Nassau, helped bankroll the war machines of both Iraq and al-Qaeda."

"More than 1,000 pages of confidential corporate, bank and legal documents show how the network functioned. The papers come from court cases filed in several European countries, from corporate records, from investigations by Italian police, from a report of the Kroll international investigative agency, and from private sources. The documents are the basis of further investigations coordinated in Europe by the prosecutor of Milan. They show, for example, that a father-and-son team in Liechtenstein, whose business is setting up shell companies and secret bank accounts, worked to move the money of both Saddam and al-Qaeda."

"Engelbert Schreiber and his son Englebert Schreiber Jr. are listed as founder or board member of Mediterranean Enterprises Development Projects, Tradex, Techno Service Intl., Saidomin and Executive Flight Assistance, all Liechtenstein companies that handled arms sales and payoffs for Saddam. They also are listed on corporate documents for Nasreddin International Group Ltd. Holding (Liechtenstein). Ahmed Idriss Nasreddin, on the U.S. terrorist blacklist, was a founder of Al Taqwa, the bank that moved money for al-Qaeda and which was closed down by the United States after 9/11. The Schreibers declined to respond to numerous requests for comment."

And then this........................

Cronyism In Iraq?
November 2003
Time CNN

"Now another deal is coming under scrutiny. A senior Pentagon official told TIME that the U.S. is reviewing its decision to grant the mobile license for Baghdad and central Iraq to a consortium led by Egyptian telecom giant Orascom because of its ties to Nadhmi Auchi, an Iraqi-born billionaire who built his fortune partly through arms deals with the Iraqi regime in the 1980s. Industry sources say Auchi provided Orascom with a $20 million loan to help pay down its $500 million debt. The sources say the loan gave Auchi, who faced French prosecutors earlier this year for his role in a corruption and embezzlement scandal, a controlling stake in Orascom. A senior U.S. official says Orascom's ties to Auchi are being investigated. As a result, no mobile licenses have yet been issued."

Barack-back mount: Sermon on Mount Justifies Same-Sex Unions

Obama: Sermon on Mount Justifies Same-Sex Unions

CNS News

By Terence P. Jeffrey
CNSNews.com Editor in Chief
March 03, 2008

Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.) told a crowd at Hocking College in Nelsonville, Ohio, Sunday that he believes the Sermon on the Mount justifies his support for legal recognition of same-sex unions. He also told the crowd that his position in favor of legalized abortion does not make him "less Christian."

"I don't think it [a same-sex union] should be called marriage, but I think that it is a legal right that they should have that is recognized by the state," said Obama. "If people find that controversial then I would just refer them to the Sermon on the Mount, which I think is, in my mind, for my faith, more central than an obscure passage in Romans." ((Hear audio from WTAP-TV)) St. Paul's Epistle to the Romans condemns homosexual acts as unnatural and sinful.

Obama's mention of the Sermon on the Mount in justifying legal recognition of same-sex unions may have been a reference to the Golden Rule: "Do to others what you would have them do to you." Or it may have been a reference to another famous line: "Do not judge, or you too will be judged."

The Sermon, recorded in the Gospel of Matthew, includes the Lord's Prayer, the Beatitudes, an endorsement of scriptural moral commandments ("anyone who breaks one of the least of these commandments and teaches others to do the same will be called least in the kingdom of heaven"), and condemnations of murder, divorce and adultery. It also includes a warning: "Watch out for false prophets. They come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ferocious wolves."

The passage from St. Paul's Epistle to the Romans, which Obama dismissed as "obscure," discusses people who knew God but turned against him.

"They exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and worshiped and served created things rather than the Creator--who is forever praised," wrote St. Paul. "Because of this, God gave them over to shameful lusts. Even their women exchanged natural relations for unnatural ones. In the same way the men also abandoned natural relations with women and were inflamed with lust for one another. Men committed indecent acts with other men, and received in themselves the due penalty for their perversion."

On the topic of abortion, Obama said his support for keeping it legal does not trespass on his Christian faith.

"I think that the bottom line is that in the end, I think women, in consultation with their pastors, and their doctors, and their family, are in a better position to make these decisions than some bureaucrat in Washington. That's my view," Obama said about abortion. "Again, I respect people who may disagree, but I certainly don't think it makes me less Christian. Okay." (Hear audio from WTAP-TV)

Obama opened his town-hall-type meeting at the college with a short speech and then provided lengthy answers to a handful of questions. One questioner, Leon Forte, a Protestant clergyman, asked Obama about evangelical Christians who were concerned about his position on issues that conservatives consider "litmus tests."

"Your campaign sets a quandary for most evangelical Christians because I believe that they believe in the social agenda that you have, but they have a problem in what the conservatives have laid out as the moral litmus tests as to who is worthy and who is not," said Forte. "So, I will ask you to speak to those two questions."

Obama volunteered that he believed Forte was talking about abortion and homosexual marriage, and then he gave answers on both issues that were not as explicit as positions he has staked out on these issues in other venues. Last Thursday, for example, as reported by Cybercast News Service, Obama published on his Web site an "open letter concerning LGBT (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender) equality in America."

In that letter, Obama said he favored same-sex unions that were equal to marriage--including adoption rights--and that he was open to states codifying same-sex marriages.

"As your President, I will use the bully pulpit to urge states to treat same-sex couples with full equality in their family and adoption laws," Obama said in the letter. "I personally believe that civil unions represent the best way to secure that equal treatment. But I also believe that the federal government should not stand in the way of states that want to decide on their own how best to pursue equality for gay and lesbian couples--whether that means a domestic partnership, a civil union, or a civil marriage."

In Ohio on Sunday, before mentioning the Sermon on the Mount, Obama insisted he was against "gay marriage" and did not mention his support for allowing same-sex couples to adopt children and have the same "family" status as heterosexual couples.

"I will tell you that I don't believe in gay marriage, but I do think that people who are gay and lesbian should be treated with dignity and respect and that the state should not discriminate against them," said Obama on Sunday. "So, I believe in civil unions that allow a same-sex couple to visit each other in a hospital or transfer property to each other. I don't think it should be called marriage, but I think that it is a legal right that they should have that is recognized by the state. If people find that controversial then I would just refer them to the Sermon on the Mount, which I think is, in my mind, for my faith, more central than an obscure passage in Romans. That's my view."

Obama also has been more aggressive in framing his pro-abortion position previously than he was on Sunday. When he was in the Illinois Senate, for example, he repeatedly opposed a bill that would have defined as a "person" a baby who had survived an induced-labor abortion and was born alive.

In a 2001 Illinois Senate floor speech about that bill, he argued that to call a baby who survived an abortion a "person" would give it equal protection rights under the 14th Amendment and would give credibility to the argument that the same child inside its mother's womb was also a "person" and thus could not be aborted.

When the Illinois Senate bill was amended to make it identical to a federal law that included language to protect Roe v. Wade--and that the U.S. Senate voted unanimously to pass--Obama still opposed the bill, voting it down in the Illinois Senate committee he chaired.

Yet, in Ohio on Sunday, Obama depicted abortion as a tragedy to be avoided, while being kept legal.

"On the issue of abortion, that is always a tragic and painful issue," he said. "I think it is always tragic, and we should prevent it as much as possible .... But I think that the bottom line is that in the end, I think women, in consultation with their pastors, and their doctors, and their family, are in a better position to make these decisions than some bureaucrat in Washington. That's my view. Again, I respect people who may disagree, but I certainly don't think it makes me less Christian. Okay."

Before discussing his views on same-sex unions and abortion, Obama told the crowd he was a "devout Christian."

"In terms of my faith, there has been so much confusion that has been deliberately perpetrated through emails and so forth, so here are the simple facts," he said. "I am a Christian. I am a devout Christian. I have been a member of the same church for 20 years, pray to Jesus every night, and try to go to church as much as I can when they are not working me. Used to go quite often.

"These days, we haven't been at the home church--I haven't been home on Sunday--for several months now. So, my faith is important to me. It is not something that I try to push on other people. But it is something that helps to guide my life and my values."

Wild Thing's comment........

I think B. Hussein Obama is confused about the term “mount”! New campaign logo for him should be Obama ‘08 - Bending over backwards to please homosexuals.

Hello Barack HUSSEIN Obama, Christ complains about sexual immorality about a dozen times in the gospels.

"which I think is, in my mind, for my faith, more central than an obscure passage in Romans"

Obscure???? What other parts of the Bible should we discard, Sen. Obama?? So Obama knows more about doctrine than the author of that obscure book of Romans? Paul will be surprised to hear this news...of course he knew we would go up against “principalities and powers” so he probably is not that surprised at all.

And before shooting his mouth off about “obscure” passages in Romans, he failed to read the verses prior to that one. Gotta love the irony in that.

“Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools.” Romans 1:22

I missed it, where is the part of the Sermon on the Mount that says - blessed are the same sex marraiges???
He uses a different Bible than I do. I cant even figure out which part of the Sermon can be twisted and tortured enough to make it pro gay marriage.

Isaiah 5:20 Woe to those who call evil good and good evil!

Recently Jonah Goldberg wrote about a 2007 New York Times interview of Barack Obama with Nicholas Kristof, who documented,

Mr. Obama recalled the opening lines of the Arabic call to prayer, reciting them with a first-rate accent. In a remark that seemed delightfully uncalculated...Mr. Obama described the call to prayer as ‘one of the prettiest sounds on Earth at sunset.’”

For someone who wasn’t “influenced” by his “brief” stint in the Islamic faith, Mr. Obama certainly has command of a difficult language (words) and fond memories of a prayer that translated literally means,

“Allah is the Greatest, Allah is the Greatest. Allah is the Greatest, Allah is the Greatest. I bear witness that there is none worthy of worship but Allah. I bear witness that there is none worthy of worship but Allah. I bear witness that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah. I bear witness that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah. Hasten to the Prayer, hasten to the Prayer. Hasten to real success, hasten to real success. Allah is the Greatest, Allah is the Greatest. There is none worthy of worship but Allah.”

Obama knows this from his Quranic studies -- and he knows the New York Times will publish this fact and it will be seen throughout the world.

The Danger Of B.Hussein Obama’s Amateur Diplomacy

The danger of Obama’s amateur diplomacy

American Thinker

Thomas Lifson

After suggesting that he would invade our ally Pakistan and talk to our enemy Iran, Barack Obama has moved on to potentially damage our relations with Canada, our friendly neighbor and number one foreign oil supplier.

Under the terms of NAFTA, Canada is prohibited from cutting off oil exports to the US if there is a worldwide shortage or supply disruption unless supplies are also rationed to Canadian consumers by the same amount.

After the Hillary/Obama debate, Canada's trade minister pointed out that if NAFTA is re-opened, Canada might want to opt out of this clause, which would then leave Canada free to sell its oil to any other country for whatever price it could get.

Both Clinton and Obama have made a big issue out President Bush's alleged insensitivies to other countries. And now these two geniuses are blithely talking about canceling a trade agreement with our two neighbors on which both their economies now depend.

The Financial Times reports:

"Beijing has signalled its interest in Canada's growing oil sector. Two of China's biggest energy groups, China National Offshore Oil Co and Sinopec, have invested in small Calgary-based companies with ambitions to extract heavy crude oil from oilsands in Canada."

So the Obama campaign has been caught in a lie and is potentially opening a door for China (among others) to become involved in our most secure source for foreign oil, where the oil sands contain deposits equal to those of Saudi Arabia, while alienating our best friends in foreign countries.

HOLY COW AND GOATS Batman!! ~ Kenya Ticked About Obama Photo

Check out the look they are giving each other in this photo from awhile back.

Clinton Vaces Kenya Cattle Fine Over Obama Photo

NAIROBI (Reuters)

Kenyan elders may impose a fine on U.S. presidential hopeful Hillary Clinton, payable in livestock, after a photo of her rival Barack Obama in robes dragged their people into the race for the White House.

The picture, which appeared on a U.S. Web site, showed the Illinois senator in a white headdress and traditional Somali attire during a 2006 visit to Wajir in Kenya's remote northeast.

Obama has battled a whispering campaign by fringe elements who wrongly say he is Muslim and his aides accused Clinton's campaign of "the most shameful, offensive fear-mongering" after the photograph was published.

Wajir elders resolved to file an official complaint with the U.S. Embassy in Nairobi, dropping earlier plans to hold a protest after Friday prayers.

They said they would also convene a traditional Somali court to investigate the matter. It can impose fines that are payable in cattle, goats or camels.

"We will go ahead with this case whether Senator Clinton or Democratic party leaders turn up or not," said Mohamed Ibrahim, a member of the clan that hosted Obama during his trip. "But this whole thing can be avoided if only an apology is made."

The late father of the Democratic frontrunner was from western Kenya.

Many in the east African country support Obama the way the Irish idolized President John F. Kennedy in the 1960s -- as one of their own who succeeded beyond their wildest dreams.

"The clan he was with have every right to be offended," said Hussein Ali, a 32-year-old unemployed man outside the main Jamia Mosque in the capital Nairobi.

"Obama's enemies are trying to portray him as a terrorist, saying all Muslims, and especially Somalis, are dangerous men."

MOLLIFIED LOCALS

Clinton's campaign denies authorizing the release of the controversial photo but says that, with 700 staffers, it could not be certain someone had not sent it out unofficially.

That has not mollified locals in Wajir, a small desert town near the Somali border, who demanded Clinton "clear her name."

Other Kenyans questioned the timing of the picture's publication, days before make-or-break votes in Ohio and Texas next week.

For many Americans, Somalia conjures up disturbing images of dead U.S. troops being dragged through Mogadishu's dusty streets during the "Black Hawk Down" battle of 1993.

The U.S. military launched air strikes on the Horn of Africa country last year in its hunt for al Qaeda, including suspects wanted over the bombing of the U.S. Embassy in Nairobi in 1988.

"We suspect the intent behind releasing this picture now, just before Tuesday's very critical vote," said Omar Jamal, head of the St Paul, Minnesota-based Somali Justice Advocacy Centre.

His lobby group, which works with Somali immigrants in the United States, has also demanded an apology from Clinton's camp.

"They are trying to make a link between a man who could be the next U.S. president and a country with al Qaeda terrorist activities. They're trying to tell citizens, look who you might be voting for," he told Reuters by telephone.

"Everyone is very upset. It's outrageous and undermining."

Wild Thing's comment........

DANG! Reality is funnier than any satire or comedy show!

It can impose fines that are payable in cattle, goats or camels.

That’s a little ironic. Didn’t Hillary make some money in cattle futures? Can she pay with cattle futures? LOL

So let me get this straight. It is not only offensive to say Obama's middle name: Hussein it's also offense to show him in his ancestral clothing? I have a Swiss heritage, I have a pair of Lederhosen (shorts made of leather) and if I ever wore then it would not offend me if someone had a photo of me wearing them. What’s the deal?

On the serious side. Obama’s shame of his heritage has now made him look totally ridiculous. It is extremely childish behavior on the part of Obama and his outspoken wife. For one thing where is their anger at the photographer that took the photo if they don't want anyone to see it. Even so when a person is a public figure there is always a deal a person makes with the public, not written but known, and that is public is what it means.

There are tons of photos of Bush and Laura too with garb on of the cultures of countries they have been to. Just as we saw Bush in the latest trip to Africa and his dancing with the Saudi's etc.

So this while behavior by Obama is inexcusable and the same with the idiots wanting a goat, a cow or whatever.

I am in no way defending Hillary, but what Obama with the no liberal word to be used, the middle name BS and this photo thing should scream to voters how much Obama will be a dictator!!

Michelle Obama: Name Hussein Is 'the fear bomb'

Michelle Obama campaigning in Chillicothe, Ohio for her husband, Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill., Thursday Feb. 28, 2008. (AP Photo/Chillicothe Gazette, Sarah Wright)

Michelle Obama, who often has decried "the fear bomb'' that opponents have used against her husband for his middle name -- Barack Hussein Obama -- said in Canton, Ohio, today that it is happening again and shows why it's so important that he wins election as president.

"They threw in the obvious, ultimate fear bomb," Obama said today of her husband's 2004 Senate race. "We're even hearing [that] now. … 'When all else fails, be afraid of his name, and what that could stand for, because it's different.'"

The senator's wife said that rivals use innuendo to play on fears. "Just as they're saying it now," she said.

But, she told about 200 supporters this morning at a restored theater in Canton, Obama won despite that "climate of negativity and doubt" in 2004.

"We learned, number one, that when power is threatened by real change they will say anything to stop it," she said. "But we also learned that the American people can handle the truth."

What America needs, she added, is a "fundamentally different kind of leadership," one that challenges people to be different, and better to one another. And that, she said to critics who say it is not his time, cannot wait.

"Barack Obama will be the kind of leader we need right now, not in four years or eight years or 12 years," she said. "We can't wait to get this right. We need it to happen today."

Wild Thing's comment.........

Hmmmmmmm

How about.........Barack FearBomba Obama

Yeah, when people are acting too nervous about “Hussein”, throw the word “bomb” into the mix. LOL She put “Hussein”, “fear” and “bomb” all in the same sentence. hahaha oh my gawd! People’s subconscious minds just went into warp drive!

The fear bomb I have is when he guts the military and gives our nuclear arsenal away. The bomb hussein will then bring to us will be in the form of a mushroom cloud over one of our cities from one of “his muslim” friends.

I can't help it but Michelle Obama reminds me so much of Cynthia McKinney.

Actually, rascist Mrs. Obama, the worst thing for your husband's presidential bid is YOU. The press is throwing him softballs, so why all the self-pity and whining?

Just say, “Hello - my name is Barak Hussein Obama. My middle name is spelled the same as Saddam Hussein. I have chosen to keep it because I am 45% Arab and that is the name I was born with.”

Rino Rove: Don't "Hussein" Obama

Rove: Don't "Hussein" Obama

The Atlantic

No less an authority figure than Karl Rove has warned Republican operatives from demagoguing Barack Obama's middle name.

At a closed door meeting of GOP state executive directors in late January, Rove said the safest way to refer to Obama would be to use his honorific, "Sen. Obama."

"The context was, you're not going to stimatize this guy. You shouldn't underestimate him," one of the executive directors said. Rove said that the use of "Barack Hussein Obama" would perpetuate the notion that Republicans were bigoted and would hurt the party.

Rove also said that Republicans should refer to Hillary Clinton as "Sen. Clinton," rather than "Hillary."

Right wing figures are set to ignore Rove's advice. Rush Limbaugh used Obama's middle name more than a year ago, and Ann Coulter regularly uses the middle name, once calling him "President Hussein."

Wild Thing's comment.........

Hasn’t Rove done enough to wreck the Republican party?

Rove you rino you there is no way I will stop calling him B. Hussein Obama and Hillary, Hillary. Nope no way. If Obama is so offended by his own middle name he should get it changed.

I hope I can explain how I feel so strongly about this. I understand what Rove is saying, I do. But for too long we have given in to the left. All the way back to the Vietnam War we have seen how the left has mocked, slandered and lied about our military and their missions and battles. The PC thing was brought to us by the left and demanded of us by the left to the point where it effects even advertising, work places, and even simple conversations.

It has been the Republican politicians that use the term 'friend' when talking with a Democrat on political talk shows, NOT the other way around. Why! Why Kiss up to them, it only makes a person look weak, because they have been weak. I am not asking our politicans to be mean, but for God sake stop kissing up to the left. Stand strong and show we conservatives mean business.

The rino's are not the ones that fight for securing our borders, the rino's are not the ones that were our Founding Fathers. The rino's are nothing more then Dem lite! It is the conservative that ends up cleaning up after the rino's and dems, the conservartive that see's how important it is to fight back, to take a stand when others have apathy.

Without the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth, Kerry would probably be President today. The Swiftboat Vets won 2004 for Bush, not ROVE.

Rove is a legend in his own mind. Bush entered office with a Rep controlled Congress. He is leaving with a Dem controlled Congress and a GOP in disarray thanks to appointing folks like Martinez as RNC chairman and trying to push amnesty down our throats. Karl Rove has been a disaster for the GOP and conservatives in particular.

Maybe Rove, McCain and his buddy Lindsey Graham should stop calling those of us who are against amnesty as nativists, racists, and bigots. Rove was the one that had President Bush talk about his immigration “guest worker” program during 06....He kept saying it until the base was thoroughly fed up and stayed home.

So I say NO way Rove, take your opinions elsewhere. I am a Conservative and I am fed up with our being told to give in to the left and to the rino belief's and thinking.

The only way Conservatism dies is if all Americans cease to remember the philosophy and the ideas on which this country was founded.

So leave us alone Rove and Shut up!

And this from Rush:

"RUSH:… Okay, so his name is off limits, can't use Hussein. You can't call him a liberal. What other fact about Obama are we not going to be allowed to talk about? That's right, can't talk about his ears, either, because when Maureen Dowd made some comment about his ears, he went straight into the crowd and said, "I'm very sensitive about my ears." She said, "We're trying to toughen you up." Well, it hasn't worked. Can't use the name Hussein, can't call him a liberal, and this is the kind of thing -- look, it's brilliant on Obama's part. He's setting the rules, and everybody's going to abide by them. Republican National Committee, "Okay, we can't call him a liberal because he's going to tear into us, we don't want him tearing into us." Well, I don't know how you're going to characterize his policies if you don't call him a liberal. And, by the way, what's so bad about being a liberal? How come none of these liberals want to be called liberals?

See, Obama's no different than any of the rest of them, folks. No different at all. Nothing new here. The only thing new is the Democrats have now made it official that their guiding principle is "America sucks." But they have to mask who they are, they have to disguise themselves, camouflage themselves, whatever, you call them a liberal, and it's a personal attack. So Obama's now said liberal is off limits, can't do it. What will Republicans do? I can't believe that somebody's name is off limits. I just don't believe it. "

Islamic Links on Obama Web Site Stir Criticism

We see this look of Obama's a lot, especially during the debates.

Islamic Links on Obama Web Site Stir Criticism
By Fred Lucas
CNSNews.com

A page for Muslim supporters of Sen. Barack Obama -- hosted on Obama's presidential campaign Web site -- promotes events sponsored by controversial Islamic groups.

Muslim Americans for Obama '08, found on Obama's main campaign site, allows users to create their own page through a "My Obama" option. The Muslim Americans for Obama page also links to a Web site that features lectures by people who have expressed radical Islamic views in the past.

A portion of the "Muslim Americans for Obama" page lists proposals to establish a Muslim American advisory group on U.S. foreign policy; provide prayer areas in public places such as malls, airports, universities and government buildings; institute a law to allow Muslim employees to take time from their work day for prayer; and institute a law against harassment of Muslim women in public areas.

The Obama campaign's press office did not respond to numerous phone calls and e-mail messages from Cybercast News Service on this matter.

Throughout the campaign, Obama has professed his Christian faith, although his father is a Muslim.

Late last year, former Nebraska Sen. Bob Kerrey, a supporter of Obama's Democratic rival New York Sen. Hillary Clinton, caused a stir in Iowa when he said, "It's probably not something that appeals to him, but I like the fact that his name is Barack Hussein Obama, and that his father was a Muslim and that his paternal grandmother is a Muslim."

"Muslim Americans for Obama '08 is a grassroots initiative to support the presidential campaign for Barack Obama 2008," the Web page says. "Our sincere intention is to serve as a resource for Muslim and non-Muslim Americans to get involved and learn more about the political process and Barack Obama as a person and presidential candidate."

Other "My Obama" pages on the campaign's Web site include "Jews for Obama," "Christians for Obama" and "Gay Christians for Obama."

But it is a link and a list of events on the Muslim Americans for Obama page that has prompted critics that consider themselves watchdogs of Islamist groups to take notice.

The list of events on the Muslim Americans for Obama page includes voter registration drives at conventions sponsored by the Islamic Society of North America (ISNA), held last April and August in Rosemont, Ill., and the convention co-sponsored by the Islamic Circle of North America (ICNA) and the Muslim American Society (MAS).

These groups routinely inject themselves into political causes, said M. Zhudi Jasser, chairman of the American Islamic Forum for Democracy. He thinks all political candidates should stay clear of mixing religion and politics, saying the root of terror is political Islam.

"Any candidate that engaged American Islamist organizations without any ideological litmus test about their stances regarding the transnational goals of Islamism, I think that is going to be a major liability," Jasser, a Muslim, told Cybercast News Service.

I wouldn't specifically say Obama. I would say any candidate that doesn't identify that Muslim organizations should be leading the effort against political Islam and its impact on the ends of that terrorists seek. I think it will be a liability," he said.

The MAS has faced intense scrutiny in recent years.

In the appeal of Sabri Benkhala, a man convicted of perjury and obstruction of justice last year after being acquitted of trying to help the Taliban, the U.S. attorney's office for the Eastern District of Virginia filed a brief that referenced to MAS as an "overt arm of the Muslim Brotherhood for the United States."

The Muslim Brotherhood is a militant Islamic group in Egypt. The government has not brought any charges against MAS.

"We are an American Muslim organization, and we don't take orders from anybody oversees," MAS Executive Director Mahdi Bray told Cybercast News Service. "We were established in America, and we are not an overt or covert arm of the Muslim Brotherhood."

In 2004, after the Israeli military killed Hamas spiritual leader Ahmed Yassin, the MAS Freedom Foundation announced it would push Congress to enforce provisions of the U.S. Arms Export Control Act against Israel, which forbids the use of U.S. weapons from being used against civilian targets.

Jasser was also concerned that the Muslim Americans for Obama site contained a "Qaran (Audio) English Translation." Clicking on that brings a user to the Web site "The Sounds of Islam." At this site users can listen to numerous lectures regarding Islam, including those from people who have expressed radical views in the past.

One of the more controversial lecturers on the site is the Islamic preacher Yusuf Al Qaradawi, who has advocated suicide bombings.

"Allah Almighty is just; through his infinite wisdom he has given the weak a weapon the strong do not have and that is their ability to turn their bodies into bombs as Palestinians do," the BBC quoted him as saying.

The "Sounds of Islam" site also includes lectures by Abdul Rahman Al Sudais, the chief cleric of the Grand Mosque in Mecca, who has used inflammatory rhetoric against people of different faiths.

The BBC quoted him as saying, "The worst ... of the enemies of Islam are those ... whom he ... made monkeys and pigs, the aggressive Jews and oppressive Zionists and those that follow them: the callers of the trinity and the cross worshippers ... those influenced by the rottenness of their ideas, and the poison of their cultures the followers of secularism .... How can we talk sweetly when the Hindus and the idol worshippers indulge in their overwhelming hatred against our brothers."

Jasser said it's not a stretch to show concern about such a link on the pro-Obama site.

Wild Thing's comment........

These illegitimates want to just walk right into this country, have it handed to them on a silver platter, and change it to a sharia-ruled dictatorship. Nice. No blood shed.
That’s what will happen if Obama OR Hillary wins.

Obama’s a closet Muslim. If he’d really converted to Christianity, he’d have been denounced as an apostate and a fatwa would be out against him. The lack of a denunciation and a fatwa, combined with his ardent support by Muslims, show he’s actually still a Muslim.

Some more about the Muslim American Society: one of the groups listed in the events section on the Obama site:

“The list of events on the Muslim Americans for Obama page includes voter registration drives at conventions sponsored by the Islamic Society of North America (ISNA), held last April and August in Rosemont, Ill., and the convention co-sponsored by the Islamic Circle of North America (ICNA) and the MUSLIM AMERICAN SOCIETY (MAS). “

Cindy Sheahan resurfaced in Cairo last week as a member of a delegation from the MUSLIM AMERICAN SOCIETY which is in Egypt to protest against the military trial of 40 members of the banned Muslim Brotherhood”

Black Hillary Supporters May Be Receiving Death Threats

Black Hillary Supporters May Be Receiving Death Threats

American Thinker
By Marc Sheppard

There's mounting evidence that at least some of Obama's faithful intend to see a black American president sworn in next year -- no matter what it takes.

Earlier this month, popular black author and talk-show host Tavis Smiley disclosed death threats he'd received from those accusing him of blasphemy against their black prophet. Then, at Saturday's Smiley-hosted State of the Black Union forum, Congressional Black Caucus member Stephanie Tubbs Jones lent credence to Smiley's claim by suggesting that many black elected officials not swearing allegiance to Obama have also been the target of violent threats.

While widely ignored by the mainstream media, the implications here are nothing short of momentous. The very prospect of physical intimidation as a means of garnering political compliance from Americans awakens frightening images of the thuggish antics of one William M "Boss" Tweed in mid-nineteenth century New York. Having survived the 2000 election debacle without even the threat of bloodshed, would some now have us back on the road to the iniquitous days of Tammany Hall?

Not surprisingly, no one in the black community has come forward with specific complaints. But here's what we do know.

For nine years running, Smiley has hosted the annual symposium of black college professors, politicians, activists, and entertainers during Black History Month discussing matters of concern to those whose heritage the month honors. This year, Barack Obama declined an invitation -- accepted by Clinton -- to address the panel of black dignitaries in New Orleans. The Illinois senator and presidential hopeful's unexpected rejection prompted a disappointed Smiley to blast the decision as a "major mistake," and that's when the trouble allegedly began.

The perceived racial apostasy apparently sparked not only thousands of angry emails labeling Smiley as a "hater, sellout and traitor," but also the relentless harassment of his entire family. And, while he has yet to elaborate, Smiley has also mentioned the matter of death threats - levied for the mere suggestion that the mighty Obama had somehow erred.

Needless to say, this newfound esteem wouldn't help sell standing room tickets to Saturday's historically well-attended seminar.

DC congresswoman Eleanor Holmes Norton Ohio Democrat spoke with equal earnest of a darker truth hanging over black Clinton supporters:

"There are some black elected officials who have earned their stripes, who've had to change their phone numbers two or three times because of the calls being made to them about the positions they are taking in this election. Shame on us. Shame on us. That we would beat down black elected officials who've paid their duty and their time.
"I'm saying to you that I don't care what happens, I'm for Hillary, someone else is for Barack Obama, but we're going to stand up - the black caucus is the conscience of the nation and we're going to stand up and do our thing no matter what happens."

Louisiana State Senator Cleo Fields was so distressed by the very thought as to warn that he would:

"be disappointed and would be ready to fight if somebody raised a finger at this sister [Tubbs] who had worked so hard for so long and had been representing black people better than most people could ever dream of."

It was then that Tavis Smiley, himself, grasped the opportunity to address his own first hand experience of this darker side of Obamamania, the one we've previously explored with much concern:

"Some folk [are] getting death threats because of the emotionality and the excitement and the lack of wise enthusiasm that we see rampant in our community.... How can we have a conversation about this campaign or any other issue where we are divided in the community without the kind of name calling, the hater talk, the traitor talk; the sell out talk? .... How do we have a civil, loving dialogue when there is a divide in our community?"

Good questions.

But in the shadow of possible death threats waged against blacks for even speaking against Obama -- I have a much better one.

Wild Thing's comment........

Going even further then this story, I would imagine if Obama does not win there will be a certain amount of backlash as well. Some of these people for Obama are obviously not well the way they are worshiping him, fainting, turning his rallies and speaking engagements into some kind of cult experience.

There is something I have realized, I never knew it before. I listen to a lot of talk radio and on several of the shows they were talking about the speech that Michelle Obama had made. The one about it being the first time as an adult she is proud of America / to be an American.

The hosts of the various shows asked callers if they felt the same way. Each one that was calling and voting for Obama said basically the exact same thing. They feel the same way that Michelle Obama said she felt. When asked by the talk show host " but what about Condi Rice and Clarence Thomas they are also black." The callers would say ( and these were blacks calling in,) they all said NO that Condi and Clarence Thomas were only like them as far as skin color but they" were negro's not blacks" and they ( Condi and Clarence etc.) only cared about themselves that they were selfish people.

The callers were then asked if these people were liberals, Democrats would it make them black then and the callers every one of them said yes.

Amazing! I am uncomfortable with so much hate I just don't understand it at all. How can a person live in the greatest country in the world and not be proud of America and being an American.

The Left Offers Obama a Strategy...But LOOK Who It is?

Tom Hayden,'60's icon, Leader of the student movement, the anti-war movement and activist in the civil rights movement seen here after arriving in Castlegar July 6, 2006 where he'll speak at the "Our Way Home Reuion" conference being held in Castlgar, B.C.

The Left Offers Obama a Strategy

Frontpage Magazine

What is Barack Obama’s foreign policy? As it becomes clear that Obama is likely to win the Democratic nomination, both Hillary Clinton and John McCain are attacking him for a lack of foreign policy experience and for proposals he has made that appear to make him appear rather naïve. Is he going to retreat from confronting our nation’s enemies, or is he going to be tough when he has to be? What advice will he heed? Now, he has been offered advice for his campaign by none other than Tom Hayden, once the young lion of the New Left and the anti-Vietnam War movement.

Tom Hayden is, of course, no longer a major public figure with great influence. His words, however, resonate with scores of activists as well as liberal intellectuals, who will take them to heart and seek to up the ante on the Obama campaign. Hayden, who clearly views Iraq as another Vietnam, is seeking to move Obama to adopt the prescriptions of the most left-wing sectors of the Democratic Party constituency.

Pointing to Obama’s victory speech in Houston last week, Hayden has noted that Obama has shifted his position, to one of calling for withdrawal of all American troops in the first year of his administration, not over a lengthier time span. Does Obama mean it? Hayden has one suggestion: the Left and antiwar forces must hold Obama to his word. More importantly, he argues that sentiment among Obama’s base “is running strongly enough to push the candidate forward to a stronger commitment,” strong enough to move him away from the words in his 2006 book The Audacity of Hope, in which Obama wrote that a complete withdrawal was a matter of “imperfect judgment” and “best guesses.”

It is clear from Mr. Hayden that his supposition - and that of the Left he represents - (his comments appear in The Nation magazine website) believe that the United States should not be involved on a “so-called war on terrorism,” a phony concept developed by evil and strong neoconservatives who falsely believe there is something called “Islamofascism.” Obviously believing that there is not such force in the world, he argues that its advocates, including Senator John McCain, favor a “permanent war against Muslim radicals” that is really about one thing: “American access to oil.”

What worries Mr. Hayden is that in a contest between McCain and Obama, John McCain’s war record, combined with his Senate experience, makes him a “formidable” advocate of tough steps to protect American national security, something Mr. Hayden sees as a danger to the antiwar movement. His own prescription for withdrawal of troops are thus threatened by General Petraeus’ forthcoming April testimony before Congress, in which it is expected he will report on the favorable outcome of the surge, and urge the nation to stay the course.

Mr. Hayden thus sees Petraeus not as a honest soldier reporting the truth of what he has accomplished, but as a “de facto surrogate for McCain” that will force Barack Obama to have to respond without retreating from his promise of early withdrawal. He says, rightfully, that those he dubs the neoconservative opposition will oppose Obama by challenging him for wanting “to pull the plug on Iraq just when the tide is turning.” And why shouldn’t McCain do just that? Does Mr. Hayden think that the United States, should in fact, pull the plug precisely when the situation in Iraq is improving?

Ironically, Mr. Hayden condemns William Kristol for arguing in the pages of the New York Times and The Weekly Standard that the Democratic Party has become “the puppet of the antiwar groups.” Clearly, Mr. Kristol may have been premature. Mr. Hayden seems to want now to prove Kristol both prescient and right. Mr. Hayden fears that all of this will lead to McCain successfully forging a new center-Right coalition, leaving the Democrats only with the moderate and antiwar left-wing. The Republicans will have, he notes, the aid of Senator Joe Lieberman working as an ally who would also make inroads among the Jewish community.

Nevertheless, Tom Hayden is optimistic. He believes Americans will also see Afghanistan as a quagmire not susceptible to a military solution; Pakistanis showing they do not want to be pawns in an American war, and that a fight with the Taliban or al-Qaeda is nothing but a “bottomless battle.” His fear: that Obama will ignore all this, and seek to “prove his credentials as a militarist or face being painted as another Democrat too weak to be Commander-in-Chief.” His solution: the forces of the Left and the peace movement wage “open political and intellectual battle” against “the neoconservative agenda.”

Should Barack Obama listen to the Left’s advice, he will only push the Democratic Party back to the age of McGovernite isolationism, and contrary to the assertion of Tom Hayden, make the campaign much easier for John McCain. If the Democrats hope to actually win the presidency, the worst thing they could do is to take advice from Tom Hayden.

Wild Thing's comment.......

OMG Tom Hayden can we never get rid of that vile hippie !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am not kidding, God Help us!! Tom Hayden the hihppie from the 60's, and he has never changed from back then. He is the ex husband of Jane Fonda and they used to do tons of anti-war rallies together during the Vietnam War.

The left wants to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory! Obama;'s foreign policy will be Carter-style appeasement...on steroids!!

Preview Of The Coming Democrat Convention? ~ Yikes

Clintonite Stabs Obama Supporter

Cops: Man assaulted brother-in-law during political argument

smoking gun

FEBRUARY 25

Meet Jose Antonio Ortiz. The Pennsylvania man allegedly stabbed his brother-in-law in the stomach after the pair quarreled about their respective support of Democratic presidential candidates Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton. According to cops, Ortiz, 28, stabbed Sean Shurelds last Thursday night in the kitchen of an Upper Providence Township home.

According to a criminal complaint, a copy of which you'll find here, the 41-year-old Shurelds, an Obama supporter, told Ortiz that the Illinois senator was "trashing" Clinton (apparently in regard to recent primary and caucus results). Ortiz, a Clinton supporter, replied that "Obama was not a realist." While not exactly fighting words, the verbal political tiff led to some mutual choking and punching. And, allegedly, a stabbing in the abdomen. Ortiz, pictured in the mug shot below, was charged with a felony aggravated assault count and two misdemeanors and jailed in lieu of $20,000 bail. Shurelds was flown to Hahnemann University Hospital, where he was admitted in critical condition.

Wild Thing's comment.......

It's the knives I tell you, they must be outlawed. LOL I thought all Democrats are about kumbaya and understanding, hope and change.

I wonder if we will be seeing more of this stupid kind of thing.

Hillary's people have not been too happy lately either:

Somber Clinton Soldiers On as the Horizon Darkens ....article is two pages and has other information about what is going on inside her campagin.

There is a widespread feeling among donors and some advisers, though, that a comeback this time may be improbable. Her advisers said internal polls showed a very tough race to win the Texas primary — a contest that no less than Mr. Clinton has said is a “must win.” And while advisers are drawing some hope from Mrs. Clinton’s indefatigable nature, some are burning out.
Morale is low. After 13 months of dawn-to-dark seven-day weeks, the staff is exhausted. Some have taken to going home early — 9 p.m. — turning off their BlackBerrys, and polishing off bottles of wine, several senior staff members said.

Some advisers have been heard yelling at close friends and colleagues. In a much-reported incident, Mr. Penn and the campaign advertising chief, Mandy Grunwald, had a screaming match over strategy recently that prompted another senior aide, Guy Cecil, to leave the room. “I have work to do — you’re acting like kids,” Mr. Cecil said, according to three people in the room.

Others have taken several days off, despite it being crunch time. Some have grown depressed, be it over Mr. Obama’s momentum, the attacks on the campaign’s management from outside critics or their view that the news media has been much rougher on Mrs. Clinton than on Mr. Obama.

And some of her major fund-raisers have begun playing down their roles, asking reporters to refer to them simply as “donors,” to try to rein in their image as unfailingly loyal to the Clintons.

Democrat President Wanna Be Dressed As A Somali Elder

"Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama is dressed in Muslim attire while on a trip to Kenya"

Source for Photo was taken during Obama’s 2006 taxpayer-funded trip to Africa. U.S. Senator Barack Obama, is dressed as a Somali Elder by Sheikh Mahmed Hassan, left, during his visit to Wajir, a rural area in northeastern Kenya, near the borders with Somalia and Ethiopia.

Obama Camp Furious at Photo Release

Fox News You Decide 08

A two-year-old picture of Barack Obama dressed in traditional Somali garb has sparked a new war of words between the Democratic presidential front-runner and rival Hillary Clinton, whose aides say they can’t confirm or deny whether her camp is the source of the photo.

The photograph shows the Illinois senator outfitted as a Somali elder during his 2006 visit to northeastern Kenya, part of a five-country tour of Africa. It appeared at the top of Monday’s Drudge Report, and was said to have been provided by Clinton staffers over the weekend.

Now both campaigns are suggesting that the other should feel some sort of shame over the flap. According to Obama aides, the Clinton campaign is sinking to “shameful fear-mongering.” Clinton’s campaign chief retorted that she can’t figure out why Obama would be “ashamed” of having the photo out in the public.

While the source of the photo is unverified, Drudge claims it was sent to the site by a Clinton aide, who argued that had it been a costumed Clinton, it would have made the front pages.

“Wouldn’t we be seeing this on the cover of every magazine if it were HRC,” shorthand for the candidate, Hillary Rodham Clinton, wrote the unnamed Clinton campaign staffer, according to the Drudge Report.

Expressing outrage, Obama’s campaign suggested the purpose of the photo release was to invoke reminders of persistent rumors that Obama is secretly Muslim, and by extension, anti-American.

“On the very day that Senator Clinton is giving a speech about restoring respect for America in the world, her campaign has engaged in the most shameful, offensive fear-mongering we’ve seen from either party in this election,” Obama campaign manager David Plouffe said.

“This is part of a disturbing pattern that led her county chairs to resign in Iowa, her campaign chairman to resign in New Hampshire, and it’s exactly the kind of divisive politics that turns away Americans of all parties and diminishes respect for America in the world,” Plouffe continued.

A longtime member of Chicago’s Trinity United Church of Christ, Obama, who as a child lived for four years in Indonesia, has repeatedly denied that he is Muslim. Previous attacks have been decried by both candidates, and one Clinton campaign volunteer was asked to step down after forwarding an e-mail spreading the Muslim rumor.

But seeing an opportunity to refute the Obama camp’s outrage, Clinton campaign Manager Maggie Williams turned the perceived prejudice on its head.

”If Barack Obama’s campaign wants to suggest that a photo of him wearing traditional Somali clothing is divisive, they should be ashamed. Hillary Clinton has worn the traditional clothing of countries she has visited and had those photos published widely,” Clinton campaign manager Maggie Williams said in a statement.

“This is nothing more than an obvious and transparent attempt to distract from the serious issues confronting our country today and to attempt to create the very divisions they claim to decry. We will not be distracted,” she said.

Indeed, the New York senator, her husband, Bill Clinton, and other past presidents have all been photographed in traditional costume while visiting nations abroad.

Wild Thing's comment.......

LOL Hey Obama if you are offended they I ask WHY? Lots of President's and even their wives have dressed like the customs of other countries when visiting. Your being angry just may have more behind it then YOU Obama want to admit.....like maybe how you want to protect the image of Islam???? Just a thought!

A little note from me to those lurking that are going to vote for Obama:
You need to consider who Obama is loyal to. He was born a muslim, his father a Kenyan. He lived in Indonesia with his step father, a muslim. He became a Christian at age 28, joining a church to help him as a ‘community activist’. I question whether this is the best person to lead our military during a time of war against Islam. Considering that his views are 100% in alignment with the enemy ....US weakness, retreat, appeasement...it is undoubtedly an issue, and one that many Americans should consider heavily this fall.

.....Thank you Mark for sending this to me.

B. Hussein Obama Has Calypso Louie's Endorsement

Farrakhan praises Obama at Saviours' Day event in Chicago

CHICAGO

In his first major public address since recovering from complications due to cancer, Nation of Islam Minister Louis Farrakhan said Sunday that presidential candidate Barack Obama is the "hope of the entire world" that the U.S. will change for the better.

Farrakhan and his family have a farm in New Buffalo Township in southwestern Michigan's Berrien County.

Farrakhan, addressing an estimated crowd of 20,000 people at the annual Saviours' Day celebration, never outrightly endorsed Obama but spent the majority of the nearly two-hour speech praising the Illinois senator.

"This young man is the hope of the entire world that America will change and be made better," he said. "This young man is capturing audiences of black and brown and red and yellow. If you look at Barack Obama's audiences and look at the effect of his words, those people are being transformed."

Farrakhan compared Obama to the religion's founder, Fard Muhammad, who also had a white mother and black father.

"A black man with a white mother became a savior to us," he told the crowd of mostly followers dressed in Nation of Islam attire including long white suits and matching head scarfs for women and navy-colored uniforms with caps for men. "A black man with a white mother could turn out to be one who can lift America from her fall."

Obama's campaign spokesman Bill Burton said, "Senator Obama has been clear in his objections to Minister Farrakhan's past pronouncements and has not solicited the minister's support."

More form the article......

Farrakhan also leveled small jabs at Hillary Rodham Clinton, Obama's rival for the Democratic nomination, suggesting that she represents the politics of the past and has been engaging in dirty politics.

Farrakhan's keynote address at McCormick Place, the city's convention center, wrapped up three days of events geared at unifying followers and targeting youth.

Wild Thing's comment........

Obama's campaign spokesman Bill Burton said, "Senator Obama has been clear in his objections to Minister Farrakhan's past pronouncements and has not solicited the minister's support."

Obama’s pastor, Rev. Jeremiah White, of Obama’s racist Trinity Church of Christ, is a good friend of Farrakhan.

I don't care what his campaign spokesman says, if a person does not want to be associated with the likes of Farrakhan he would not only distance himself from that person but certainly make a statement that he does not have the same beliefs. But then Obama can't and won't do that either with his ( Obama's) stupid church that preaches hate of whites, Jews and Israel.

Ralph Nader Enters The Presidential Race ~ Welcome heh heh

In this photograph provided by 'Meet the Press,' Ralph Nader appears on 'Meet the Press'' Sunday, Feb. 24, 2008, at the NBC studios in Washington. Nader said Sunday he will run for president as a third-party candidate, criticizing the top White House contenders as too close to big business and pledging to repeat a bid that will 'shift the power from the few to the many.'

Nader announces new bid for White House

Yahoo news

WASHINGTON

Ralph Nader said Sunday he will run for president as a third-party candidate, criticizing the top White House contenders as too close to big business and pledging to repeat a bid that will "shift the power from the few to the many."

Nader, 73, said most people are disenchanted with the Democratic and Republican parties due to a prolonged Iraq war and a shaky economy. The consumer advocate also blamed tax and other corporate-friendly policies under the Bush administration that he said have left many lower- and middle-class people in debt.

"You take that framework of people feeling locked out, shut out, marginalized and disrespected," he said. "You go from Iraq, to Palestine to Israel, from Enron to Wall Street, from Katrina to the bumbling of the Bush administration, to the complicity of the Democrats in not stopping him on the war, stopping him on the tax cuts."

"In that context, I have decided to run for president," Nader told NBC's "Meet the Press."

Nader also criticized Republican candidate John McCain and Democrats Barack Obama and Hillary Rodham Clinton for failing to support full Medicare for all or cracking down on Pentagon waste and a "bloated military budget. He blamed that on corporate lobbyists and special interests, which he said dominate Washington, D.C., and pledged in his third-party campaign to accept donations only from individuals.

"The issue is do they have the moral courage, do they have the fortitude to stand up to corporate powers and get things done for the American people," Nader said. "We have to shift the power from the few to the many."

Nader also ran as a third-party candidate in 2000 and 2004, and many Democrats still accuse him of costing Al Gore the 2000 election.

Obama, responding Saturday to Nader's earlier criticisms that he lacked "substance," praised Nader as a "heroic figure."

"In many ways he is a heroic figure and I don't mean to diminish him. But I do think there is a sense now that if somebody is not hewing to the Ralph Nader agenda, then you must be lacking in some way," Obama said.

Clinton called Nader's announcement a "passing fancy" and said she hoped his candidacy wouldn't hurt the Democratic nominee.

"Obviously, it's not helpful to whomever our Democratic nominee is. But it's a free country," she told reporters as she flew to Rhode Island for campaign events.

Republican presidential candidate Mike Huckabee, speaking shortly before Nader's announcement, said Nader's past runs have shown that he usually pulls votes from the Democrat. "So naturally, Republicans would welcome his entry into the race," the former Arkansas governor said on CNN.

Nader vociferously disputes the spoiler claim, saying only Democrats are to blame for losing the race to George W. Bush. He said Sunday there could be no chance of him tipping the election to Republicans because the electorate will not vote for a "pro-war John McCain."

"If the Democrats can't landslide the Republicans this year, they ought to just wrap up, close down, emerge in a different form," Nader said.

Wild Thing's comment........

I’m SHOCKED, SHOCKED I tell ya........ hahahaha

I say let them all enter! Maybe even Bloomberg will enter too. hahaha The Democrats don't like Nader, so this will just add to the mix.

Huckabee Overstays Welcome On Saturday Night Live

Huckabee Lingers on the Set of 'SNL'

Miami Examiner

NEW YORK

Even though Mike Huckabee is still battling for the Republican presidential nomination despite long odds, he said Saturday he won't "overstay his welcome." Then he did precisely that, lingering on the "Weekend Update" set of "Saturday Night Live" despite repeated cues to leave the stage.

The former Arkansas governor appeared in a "Weekend Update" segment in which he described his confusion over whether it is mathematically impossible for him to win the nomination over front-runner John McCain. After anchorman Seth Meyers explained the numbers, Huckabee responded: "I'm not a math guy, I'm more of a miracle guy. So at this point I'm gonna focus on the miracle part."

However, he said: "Mike Huckabee does not overstay his welcome. When it's time for me to go, I'll know. And I'll exit out with class and grace."

Then he remained seated at the "Update" desk even though Meyers made it clear it was time for him to leave.

SNL," known for its political humor, has been on the sidelines for nearly four months because of the Writers Guild of America strike. The political landscape has changed a great deal since then, with easy targets for the show's satire, like Fred Thompson, Rudy Giuliani and Mitt Romney, dropping out of the Republican race, and Barack Obama overtaking Hillary Rodham Clinton on the Democratic side.

The last time NBC broadcast a new episode of "SNL," on Nov. 3, Obama played himself as a guest at a party thrown by Hillary and Bill Clinton. McCain hosted an episode of the show in 2002; Giuliani hosted in 1997, when he was mayor of New York City

Wild Thing's comment........

LOL oh dear me, Huckabee just can't understand his 15 minutes of fame are over and done. If he were Cinderella the slipper would still be lost, the coach outside would already have left and the Prince would have gone home long long ago. giggle

Democrat Debate Tonight

Obama, Clinton debate tonight in Texas

AUSTIN, Texas
AP

Democratic presidential candidates Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton square off tonight in another debate. It's being held in a gym at the University of Texas at Austin.

Both candidates have been crisscrossing the state in advance of the March 4th, delegate-rich Texas primary.

Obama leads in the overall hunt for delegates to next summer's nominating convention. He's won the last 11 state contests in a row.

The Associated Press delegate count shows Obama in front with 1,351 delegates to Clinton's 1,262. It takes 2,025 delegates to win the Democratic nomination.

Tickets to the debate are a hot commodity in Austin. More than 43,000 Texans entered a lottery for the 100 tickets available to the public. Even the 254 Democratic county chairs took their chances on a drawing for the 100 seats reserved for them.

That is in case anyone wants to go and faint for Obama. hahahahha

Time: 8 EST on CNN

Here's a preview of the "debate":

clintoon: I'll be the best president!

obama: I'll be the best president!

clintoon: Will Not!

obama: Will Too!

Barack Hussein Obama's Wife One DANGEROUS Broad!

"Barack Will Never Allow You to Go Back to Your Lives as Usual."

Michelle Obama speech at UCLA. Transcript:

"In 2008, we are still a nation that is too divided. We live in isolation, and because of that isolation, we fear one another. We don't know our neighbors, we don't talk, we believe our pain is our own. We don't realize that the struggles and challenges of all of us are the same. We are too isolated. And we are still a nation that is still too cynical. We look at it as "them" and "they" as opposed to "us". We don't engage because we are still too cynical. ... Americans are not in debt because they live frivolously but because someone got sick. Even with insurance, the deductibles and the premiums are so high that people are still putting medications and treatments on credit cards. And they can't get out from under. I could go on and on, but this is how we're living, people, in 2008.
And things have gotten progressively worse throughout my lifetime, through Democratic and Republican administrations, it hasn't gotten better for regular folks. ....

We have lost the understanding that in a democracy, we have a mutual obligation to one another -- that we cannot measure the greatness of our society by the strongest and richest of us, but we have to measure our greatness by the least of these. That we have to compromise and sacrifice for one another in order to get things done. That is why I am here, because Barack Obama is the only person in this who understands that. That before we can work on the problems, we have to fix our souls. Our souls are broken in this nation."

"Barack Obama will require you to work. He is going to demand that you shed your cynicism. That you put down your divisions. That you come out of your isolation, that you move out of your comfort zones. That you push yourselves to be better. And that you engage. Barack will never allow you to go back to your lives as usual, uninvolved, uninformed."

I'm sorry, nowhere in the Constitution does it authorize the President of the United States to demand anyone shed their cynicism. And I'm all for people pushing themselves to be better, but I don't think the President demanding it is the way to go about it.

Politics Is A Four Letter Word

For McCain, Self-Confidence on Ethics Poses Its Own Risk

Complete article is HERE it is several pages so I am just putting the link here for you to click on.

Basically this is it...............

Late Wednesday, the Times published to its website a story set to hit print editions Thursday, linking McCain to a female lobbyist. The paper suggested the Arizona Senator has been engaged in an illicit relationship.

"A female lobbyist had been turning up with him at fund-raisers, visiting his offices and accompanying him on a client’s corporate jet," the Times reported. "Convinced the relationship had become romantic, some of his top advisers intervened to protect the candidate from himself — instructing staff members to block the woman’s access, privately warning her away and repeatedly confronting him, several people involved in the campaign said on the condition of anonymity."

The Times said that McCain, 71, and the lobbyist, Vicki Iseman, 40, denied the Times innuendo that they had engaged in a romantic relationship or that McCain had done favors for Iseman. The Times alleged that McCain had written letters to government regulators on behalf of Iseman.

Though McCain has had a reputation as an independent and maverick U.S. Senator who has championed ethic and campaign finance reform, the Times story painted a different picture.

Though last year McCain had voted to end the practice of lawmakers using private jets paid for by those lobbying Congress, the Times said McCain had used the private planes of billionaires Rupert Murdoch and Michael R. Bloomberg, as well as one of Iseman’s clients.

The paper also brings up McCain's role in the infamous S&L scandal and his collaboration with banker Charles Keating. McCain was named a member of the so-called "Keating Five."

Wild Thing's comment........

The smearing begins, unfortunately it is part of an election process. Not only here in America but in other countries as well.

McCain has been the favored Republican of the media in his campaign, as the media ignored or attacked Hunter, Thompson and Romney. Did we really think the media liked McCain, no not unless we want to buy a bridge in some desert.

So what do we have here, some old story that may or may not be true about a man that for the most part has very little respect from conservatives as it is.

Add into this factor politics it is cut throat and messy and that is the least of it's negatives. Selling one's soul to the devil to get delegates and make empty promises that never were intended to be fulfilled is another.

McCain has sold his soul, so have all of them that are left in the race on both sides of the fence. I include Huckabee in this as well. He may very well be the sleaziest of all. There is a price to pay for selling one's soul and it is not pretty.

IMO McCain's soul was cast into Dante's inferno when he and John Kerry deliberately hid information during the Select Senate hearings on our missing POW's and MIA's —THEIR FELLOW VIETNAM VETERANS—in order to normalize relations with Vietnam.

McCain took the lead in demanding a U.S. Justice Department investigation of POW/MIA families and activists accusing them of fraud because in some of their fund-raising literature they claimed the U.S. government knowingly left U.S. POWs behind after the Vietnam War and that some remain alive today.

McCain told reporters, "The people who have done these things are not zealots in a good cause. They are the most craven, most cynical and most despicable human beings to ever run a scam."

And John McCain, a former POW in Vietnam, called an ad the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth were running criticizing John Kerry's military service "dishonest and dishonorable" . . . "I deplore this kind of politics," McCain said. "I think the ad is dishonest and dishonorable."

Things like this come back to bite a person .....Karma!

McCain calls it a smear.

I guess this is the next phase of our election process, so we will see what happens and buckle up because like Bette Davis said in one of her movies All About Eve ....."Fasten your seatbelts, it's going to be a bumpy night."

Meanwhile, pray for America and please join me in checking out any Congressional Races in your areas. There is still something we can all do to try and keep our great country from disappearing completely as we have known and loved her.

Obama’s Communist Mentor

Frank Marshall Davis

Obama mentor identified as communist

The mysterious "Frank" cited as a friend and adviser by Democratic president contender Barack Obama while he was growing up in Hawaii has been identified as Frank Marshall Davis, a member of the old Moscow-controlled Communist Party USA.

The identification comes from Cliff Kincaid in his column, "Obama's Communist Mentor," which was made available on the Accuracy in Media website. ....( from Wild Thing.......the is excellent and important to read)

"Let's challenge the liberal media to report on this," he wrote in his column. "Will they have the honesty and integrity to do so?"

Kincaid, who earlier reported on Obama's pending plan to ship $845 billion overseas to battle "global poverty" as evidence of his socialist leanings, said the newly revealed connection is even more worrisome.

"Obama's communist connection adds to mounting public concern about a candidate who has come out of virtually nowhere, with a brief U.S. Senate legislative record, to become the Democratic Party frontrunner for the U.S. presidency," he wrote.

In Obama's book, "Dreams From My Father," he repeatedly refers to his friend and adviser as "Frank."

"The reason is apparent: Davis was a known communist who belonged to a party subservient to the Soviet Union. In fact, the 1951 report of the Commission on Subversive Activities to the Legislature of the Territory of Hawaii identified him as a CPUSA member. What's more, anti-communist congressional committees, including the House Un-American Activities Committee (HUAC), accused Davis of involvement in several Communist front organizations," Kincaid said.

Kincaid noted Obama has admitted attending "social conferences" and seeing Marxist literature. "But he ridicules the charge of being a 'hard-core academic Marxist,' which was made by his colorful and outspoken 2004 U.S. Senate opponent, Republican Alan Keyes."

He described the link as "ominous."

"Decades ago, the CPUSA had tens of thousands of members, some of them covert agents who had penetrated the U.S. government. It received secret subsidies from the old Soviet Union," Kincaid wrote.

He noted even Obama describes "Frank" has having "some modest notoriety once."

Kincaid notes that a history professor in Houston reported that Davis "befriended" a family whose son was named Barack Obama, "who retracing the steps of Davis eventually decamped to Chicago."

"It was in Chicago that Obama became a 'community organizer' and came into contact with more far-left political forces, including the Democratic Socialists of America…," Kincaid wrote. "The SDS laid siege to college campuses across America in the 1960s, mostly in order to protest the Vietnam War, and spawned the terrorist Weather Underground organization."

He also reported Kathryn Takara, a professor of Interdisciplinary Studies at the University of Hawaii at Manoa, confirmed that Davis is the "Frank" in Obama's book.

She did her dissertation on Davis, and wrote that he brought, "an acute sense of race relations and class struggle throughout America and the world" and that he openly discussed subjects such as American imperialism, colonialism and exploitation, according to AIM.

And from Rantburg

...."through Frank Marshall Davis, Obama had an admitted relationship with someone who was publicly identified as a member of the Communist Party USA (CPUSA). The record shows that Obama was in Hawaii from 1971-1979, where, at some point in time, he developed a close relationship, almost like a son, with Davis, listening to his "poetry" and getting advice on his career path. But Obama, in his book, Dreams From My Father, refers to him repeatedly as just "Frank."

The reason is apparent: Davis was a known communist who belonged to a party subservient to the Soviet Union. In fact, the 1951 report of the Commission on Subversive Activities to the Legislature of the Territory of Hawaii identified him as a CPUSA member. What's more, anti-communist congressional committees, including the House Un-American Activities Committee (HUAC), accused Davis of involvement in several communist-front organizations. "

Wild Thing's comment........

Interesting how every single far-left publication has endorsed Obama. They know a socialist when they see one.

I put CPUSA into google and to see if their site had endorsed Obama yet. They haven’t, but did anyone know they have a web store? Where you can buy “stuff” to display your hatred of capitalism?

....Thank you Mark for sending me the link to this.

Barack Hussein Obama It's A Movement So Where Is The Kool-Aid?

I saw this today and decided to put several things in this post about Obama.
CREEPY photo....from Drudge... the masses reaching out to touch Obama's hands

Taking this from the music from an old TV show called "That Girl":

Who can turn the world on with his smile?
Who can take a nothing day
And suddenly make it all seem worthwhile?
‘Cause it’s Barack and you should know it
With each glance and every little movement he shows it!
He’s gonna make it after all!

Obama's Fainting Ladies

Are these fainting ladies at Barack Obama rallies really a coincidence?
It has happened in Park City Utah, Kansas City Missouri, Los Angeles California, Santa Barbara California, Hartford Connecticut, Madison Wisconsin, Des Moines Iowa, Seattle Washington, Hanover New Hampshire, and who knows how many other cities.

OK I am not a nurse, but I am going to call these faintings FAKE! Here are my reasons:
Everyone of them Obama reacts the same way
Everyone of them Obama uses the same dialogue
The fainting seems to be near the same general proximity each time.

"Are you OK??"
"Somebody get her some water"
it looks like somebody may have fainted
"Do we have somebody that's fainted?"
"Make some space for her and let her lie down"
"She's gonig to be alright"
"do we have an EMT here? "

Fainting for real can be from various things and what if the person was having a heart attack or some other medical condition that had nothing to do with being ( rolling my eyes ) the thrillllll of seeing Obama.

The way the Democrats are reacting to Barack Husseini Obama I wonder if he will arrive at the DNC convention riding a ass!

Barack Hussein Obama the anti-Semite

Samantha Power

"No one has done a better job than Ed Lasky ( Barack Obama and Israel ) of exposing the extent to which some of Barack Obama's foreign policy advisers are anti-Israel, not to mention dangerously misguided about the Middle East. Here, Lasky and Richard Baehr (Samantha Power and Obama's Foreign Policy Team ) discuss various attempts to explain away aspects of this problem. Readers will agree, I think, that these efforts are exceedingly lame.

One Obama adviser who's especially difficult to explain away is Samantha Power, about whom I've written here, here, and here. Power, whose views are virulently anti-Israel and none too warm towards American Jews, is no fringe or passive member of the Obama team. Power left a position at Harvard to work for Obama for a year after his election to the U.S. Senate and is now identified as a "senior foreign policy advisor." She is actively involved in the Obama campaign. And, tellingly, Lasky and Baehr say it was Obama who sought out Power, not the other way around.

Perhaps Obama can explain which of Powers' views (as documented by Lasky and Baehr) make her so attractive to him. Is it her view that the Jewish lobby pushed us into war with Iraq (a view that even Walt and Mearsheimer are no longer willing to defend)? Is it her view of Israelis as war criminals whose tactics the U.S. mimics to its detriment in Iraq? Is it her outrage at the way Israel treated the U.N.'s faux peacekeepers in South Lebanon, the ones who stood by while Hezbollah gained a dominant position and used it to commit aggression against Israel? Perhaps it's simply her willingness to embrace virtually every slander of Israel that can be dredged from the fever swamp, and the hatred of that State this willingness reflects.

Ali Abunimah, a well-known Chicago-based activist for Palestinian causes, says that Obama has apologized to him for not being more up-front in his support for these causes, and has expressed the hope that this will change once the constraints of running for office are out of the way. With key advisers like Power in the wings, Obama looks like a good bet to deliver on his audacious hope should Americans be foolish enough to elect him president. "

Wild Thing's comment.......

Betwen this information and the things we already know about Obama's church, and what his minister spews about his hate for Jews and Israel, it looks bad for Israel as our friend if Obama gets elected. Obama is bad news on all levels and this just adds to all the other things about him that make him a dangerous man.

Ben and Jerry Endorse B.Hussein Obama for Pres.~ Let's name a new ice cream)

Ben and Jerry Endorse Barack Obama for President and New radio ad featuring Senator Leahy goes on the air in VT

Burlington, VT

Ben Cohen and Jerry Greenfield, co-founders of Ben and Jerry’s, publically announced their endorsement of Barack Obama for President today. Joined by U.S. Senator Patrick Leahy, the former John Edwards supporters said they believe Barack Obama is the best candidate to unite America and finally tackle the challenges facing our nation.

“Barack Obama believes that the special interests in Washington shouldn’t drown out the voices and basic needs of Americans,” Greenfield said. “When Barack Obama is President, we will finally have a president who is committed to ensuring all Americans have access to affordable health care and our children get the education they deserve.”

Senator Leahy unveiled a 60-second radio ad, entitled “Important” which he and his wife Marcelle recorded in support of Senator Obama. The ad, which will begin airing on Wednesday, February 18, stresses Obama’s judgment to lead and ability to bring real change we can believe in.

Ben and Jerry, along with Senator Leahy, drove to American Flatbread in Burlington in “ObamaMobiles” which they designed to help get out the vote for Vermont’s March 4th primary.

Said Cohen, “The ObamaMobiles are true vehicles for change. There’s a lot at stake in this election. All Vermonters need to make their voices heard and vote.”

Changes - Presidential Candidates

Wild Thing's comment........

The word 'Change' has been the mantra for this election. It is one thing to use the word but they are using it to cover all topics, all issues and not saying anything else. Just yell out 'CHANGE' and the audience screams back "Yes we can". Just yell out 'CHANGE ' and we are supposed to know how much that covers in what a person plans on doing TO our country and TO US as citizens.

It is lazy campaigning if you ask me. We are not electing a cheerleader, an advertising executive nor a used car salesman that needs to use some kind of slogan to get my attention. But that is what it has come down to in this election. The dems being the principle ones using it more then anyone else. I guess the mentality of the left can only handle slogans and not complete thought. How many times have we heard lately they don't even know why they are voting for B. Hussein Obama other then his energy, he is young and he promises change.

It's been my observation that Obama supporters seem to be content for him to spout empty phrases while they cheer enthusiastically at each new offering. But what are they cheering? There's very little substance. And what little there is, is quite troubling, certainly nothing to cheer about.

Obama is merely this year's tired old retread on a gimmick that has brought the democrats some measure of success in the past. In 1972, voters went to the polls to vote for a guy they knew very little about. That brought us the malaise years, the incredibly destructive Carter administration.

Once again in 1992, we were offered up another governor this time from Arkansas that voters knew very little about. That year they voted in the slickmeister, perhaps the closest thing to a (dixie) mafia stooge we'll ever get. Where do you begin to describe those years, watching the democrats defend a guy for all the 'gates', ( Chinagate, filegate, travel gate etc.) the death list into the 70's or something when they finally left office. And that isn't even all of it that they did.

Here we are again with an unknown. The guy offers up some great speeches if he was a motivational speaker, it's just that they're calorie free. It's as if his supporters see him as some modernistic version of Yoda. When he speaks they close their eyes and rely on the Force. The question is, which side is that Force on? Is it the Alican Skywalker Force, or the Darth Vador Force?

Folks need to read about Obama. If ever there was a guy that folks should get to know before voting, this is the one. The vacant see him as a benevolent sage, but I'm thinking it will turn out to be a more like Derth Maul. The vacant hammer of this year's left.

McCain Refuses To Pander To Conservatives

McCain Refuses To Pander

John McCain's campaign manager yesterday said the candidate will not pander for conservative support, even as his surrogates have made a second overture to see why chief competitor Mike Huckabee has not dropped out of the Republican presidential race.

Former Oklahoma Gov. Frank Keating, a McCain supporter, called former Arkansas Sen. Tim Hutchinson on Friday to inquire why Mr. Huckabee was still running. That was in addition to last week's call to Mr. Huckabee from Texas Gov. Rick Perry, another McCain supporter, asking him to drop out of the race.

"Frank and I are old friends, good friends. He called and said: What's Governor Huckabee thinking, what's he want to do, why's he still in the race?" Mr. Hutchinson said. He said Mr. Keating did not ask for Mr. Huckabee to drop out of the race — something the Huckabee campaign says the Texas governor did.

"Frank did not do that. Frank was asking more along the lines of: John wants to know, what's the governor thinking, what's his goal in this, does he have a different agenda," Mr. Hutchinson said. "They would like to have Governor Huckabee out but they are being very careful not to unnecessarily antagonize."

In both cases, Mr. Huckabee's answer why he's still in was simple, according to Mr. Hutchinson and other campaign sources familiar with the calls: "To win."

A spokeswoman for Mr. Perry said he wouldn't discuss the call.

Mr. Keating's office at the American Council of Life Insurers, where he now works, said he was traveling and couldn't return a phone call.

Mr. Huckabee told reporters he is in the race until someone reaches the 1,191 delegates needed to secure the nomination, and says voters deserve to have a choice on the ballot.

Mr. McCain has a nearly insurmountable lead in the race for the Republican nomination, but Mr. Huckabee's repeated strong performances among conservative voters — on Tuesday he won a majority of self-identified conservatives in Virginia's primary, though Mr. McCain won a plurality in Maryland —is a theme the press has focused on. And it is a theme Mr. McCain would like to end.

But Rick Davis, Mr. McCain's campaign manager, told reporters at a luncheon hosted by the Christian Science Monitor yesterday that Mr. McCain is happy to have Mr. Huckabee in the race.

"Governor Huckabee's campaign, although we believe rather unnecessary in the process of winning delegates, is perfectly fine with us," he said, adding that having a contested nomination earns them needed press attention.

He also disputed the sentiment from some conservatives that Mr. McCain needs to make a specific gesture to conservatives, such as selecting a vice-presidential nominee they can be excited about, to win their support. Instead, Mr. Davis said the important move is conservatives joining the McCain campaign, including defense, economic and social conservatives.

"Every single thread of the Republican blanket has covered John McCain," he said. "The grand gesture I think is really being made on the part of conservatives to John McCain, saying, we believe that you would make a good president and are willing to put our political capital to your disposal."

He said Mr. McCain's reception at the Conservative Political Action Conference, and endorsements from high-profile names such as former Solicitor General Theodore B. Olson, prove that.

Mr. McCain didn't use the word "conservative" in his victory address in Alexandria on Tuesday night, but he did send out an e-mail ad through Human Events, the conservative weekly newspaper, titled "We must unite as a party," pleading for financial support.

"I cannot succeed in this endeavor without the support of dedicated conservatives like you. And today, I write to ask for your support," he wrote.

Mr. McCain yesterday held a closed-door meeting with House Republicans to consolidate his support and begin unifying the party's elected leaders behind him.

Even though many of those Republicans have fought Mr. McCain bitterly on immigration, campaign finance reform and other issues, Mr. Davis said the meeting was so congenial it was "almost like a rally."

Mr. Davis was asked about the difference in enthusiasm between Republicans and Sen. Barack Obama, who draws giant crowds to his rallies and had thousands attend his victory speech in Wisconsin on Tuesday night after he swept the Maryland, Virginia and District primaries.

Mr. Davis said there's plenty of room to undercut Mr. Obama's support by pointing out information such as his ranking by National Journal as the most liberal senator in 2007.

"I don't know if all 17,000 of those people who were in his audience last night know that — but they will," he said. "I promise you, by the end of this campaign, you know, that will be right there on your refrigerator, under one of those magnets."

McCain Refuses to pander

So do I McCain ole boy!

McCain continues to charm Consevatives.... NOT!

I don't think it's pandering to tell concerned conservatives what he plans to do with respect to certain key issues and not how he feels about them or what principles inform him. For example, now he agrees that the borders need to be closed. Fine. How?

This isn't asking too much. It's what a politician must do to win over the skeptics - propose specific steps and at least make a fair attempt to take them. But to McCain this would be pandering. To me it just shows how little he truly respects the conservatives.

For Mad John to pander now would be silly, he has taken what positions that he has so why bother. Plus if he tired now it would just be politics to try and get my vote. The say anything to get elected then not do what he said once in the White House.

McCain is a George Soros man.. why should he pander to other than George Soros. Add into that McCain refuses to admit mistakes. Why would mcCain pander to conservatives when he is pandering to the illegals.

Mark McKinnon McCain's Adviser Won't Fight Obama

Political strategist Mark McKinnon

McCain Adviser Won't Fight Obama

abc news blogs

ABC News' Teddy Davis Reports: A top adviser to John McCain said Wednesday that he will step down from the Arizona senator's presidential campaign if the presumed GOP nominee faces Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill., in the general election.

"I would simply be uncomfortable being in a campaign that would be inevitably attacking Barack Obama," said McCain adviser Mark McKinnon in an interview with NPR's "All Things Considered." "I think it would be uncomfortable for me, and I think it would be bad for the McCain campaign."

McKinnon, who was a Democrat before serving as President Bush's ad maker in 2000 and 2004, said that he plans to be behind McCain "100 percent" no matter who the Democratic nominee is.

He explained, however, that if the Democrats nominate Obama, he will be supporting McCain "from the sidelines."

While saying that he does not agree with Obama on every issue, McKinnon gushed about the Illinois Democrat.

"I met Barack Obama, I read his book, I like him a great deal," said McKinnon. "I disagree with him on very fundamental issues. But I think, as I said, I think it would a great race for the country."

Wild Thing's comment........

This Obama-idolatry is getting ridiculous. He supports the candidate, but not the campaign?? Weird! OH but wait I keep forgetting, Obama is the Messiah, after all. More like the anti-Christ imo.

Does this mean that McNut's top advisor is NOT a conservative??? You oknow John like you are NOT a Conservative?? Johnnie, tell me it isn't so!! Tell me it isn't so!!!

No pity here from me for McCain, with his Juan Hernandez and this guy he surrounds himself by what he is more comfortable with ...............democrats and those not putting America first.

Political strategist Mark McKinnon is best known for his switch from working with Democratic candidates to Republican George W. Bush.

He is a lifelong Democrat who is now working for McCain and is usually seen in the background wearing a creepy hat.

In 1997, McKinnon met then Gov. Bush at dinner and claims he changed his mind about him. He says that he liked him and that's why he decided to cross-parties and work for his gubernatorial reelection campaign.

He was one of only a few top Bush staff that had access to the Bush debate prep tapes that somehow ended up being sent to the Gore campaign.

Interview With Obama Supporter In Houston Office About Che Guevara Flag

Maria Isabel was one of the Houston area Obama volunteers who had that Che Guevara flag on her wall (another group of Houston area Obama supporters also had the same flag on their wall).

Here's an interview with Maria Isabel who is a precinct captain for Barack Obama in Houston Texas. She was previously recently featured in a piece by the same TV station in which she was shown opening a new volunteer office for the Obama campaign. In the office, next to a small poster for Barack Obama, she had hung a HUGE Cuban flag emblazoned with the image of Che Guevara. Guevara was the Argentine murderer that helped establish the Castro dictatorship in Cuba before he was killed by Bolivian Rangers after trying to launch a similar guerrilla war in that country. Guevara was Castro's chief executioner at the Military Fortress called La Cabaña.

During the interview Maria Isabel Reveals that she is in fact Cuban herself. Most Cuban-Americans despise Che Guevara, Fidel Castro and the communist regime. Then again most Cuban-Americans are Republican. Obama's supporter and Democrats in general deny their socialist tendencies. Ms. Isabel apparently didn't get the memo. She's gotten it now.

Giggle... this is so funny. I am laughing because the person that made this video used one of the graphics I made of Barack Hussein Obama. It was sent to me by Sgt.Barlow, and it has me smiling. I am stilll pretty new compared to some others at making graphics so this is a compliment that someone used something I made in a video.

I thought you all would get a kick out of it too. The graphic I made is the last one in the video. Obama with the bigger ears and the turbin on. heh heh It makes me happy because I worked on it for almost an hour to get the ears to look natural and the turbin just right.

I am always glad to see others realizie how awful Obama would be as President. The mainstream media refuses to ask Obama tough questions about his policy positions. His extreme Socialist vision for the country is only remarked upon by classifying him as a liberal.

I looked up Phil Valentine and also thought I would share this with you I thought was cool. He is a conservative so that makes me so happy that this happened.

From his BIO:
Former officer with the Tennessee STATE Guard as a media specialist with the Public Affairs Office attached to Headquarters - Certification in Special Operations: Search & Rescue

National television appearances on MSNBC, Hannity & Colmes, Fox & Friends,The O'Reilly Factor and others

Phil's Father was, Tim Valentine, was a U.S. Congressman from the 2nd District of North Carolina (1983-1995)

McCain Regarding Israel

Israeli reporter challenges McCain to polygraph after spat over interview

Israel Insider

Senator John McCain and his Mideast policy inclinations are being challenged over an interview that he granted two years ago to Amir Oren, a journalist from the Israeli newspaper Haaretz, on May 1, 2006, in which McCain declared that his administration "would send "the smartest guy I know" to the Middle East: "Brent Scowcroft, or Jim Baker though I know that you in Israel don't like Baker."

McCain reportedly added: "I would expect concessions and sacrifices by both sides."

When Oren asked McCain if that meant a "movement toward the June 4, 1967 armistice lines, with minor modifications," the reporter wrote, "McCain nodded in the affirmative."

To deflect criticism that he has encountered on the 2008 campaign trail, the McCain campaign has been quoting an article by John B. Judis, senior editor at The New Republic, who wrote in an article in that publication on October 25, 2006 that McCain was "miffed at his portrayal in Haaretz," saying that "after reading the Haaretz article and subsequent report in The Jewish Press [in New York]," he felt the need to "clear up several serious misimpressions." McCain said that "in contrast to the impression left by the Haaretz article, I've never held the position that Israel should return to 1967 lines, and that is not my position today."

The senator repeated this week what he said to the New Republic which was that "in the course of that brief, off-the-cuff conversation, I never discussed settlement blocs, a total withdrawal, or anything of the sort."

Reached at his desk in Tel Aviv, Oren said that McCain is "not telling the truth", and that he would gladly invite him to a polygraph to see who is telling the truth. He said the Republican frontrunner indeed recommended Baker and Scowcroft as potential candidates to deal with the Middle East, and that he clearly answered in the affirmative when it came to McCain's expectations of Israel, and how it should relate to further withdrawals.

Oren said that McCain stated clearly that Israel's policy should be one of "defending itself and withdrawing, defending itself and withdrawing." Far from an off the cuff conversation, Mr. Oren told the Bulletin that this was a formal interview that McCain provided him at the the Brussels Forum for American-European Relations, following an interview that McCain provided to the Washington Post. Oren mentioned to the Bulletin that the interview was conducted in the presence of McCain's aide, Richard Fontaine.

Oren was clearly upset to hear McCain was challenging the veracity of the interview from two years ago. In Oren's words, McCain should "show the same courage on the campaign trail that he showed in Vietnam."

David Bedein is a reporter for the the Philadelphia Bulletin (http://www.thebulletin.us), in which this article first appeared. Bedein is also Bureau Chief Israel Resource News Agency.

Wild Thing's comment........

The one who denies that kind of a challenge is the one who’s lying. Gee Baker again. Yeah that wholly owned stoodge of the House of Saud is really the guy to send to Israel. After all, his Iraq plan was such a great idea. ...NOT!

It would be really neat if each party, the DNC and the RNC would provide a list of names of those running for President and in that list have each important issue listed and how each candidate would handle it, what they would do or their plan. It would be a ton of work to do it but once done could be used by every voting American as a way of knowing the candidate better. Plus it would be actual quotes with dates as a reference and a way of blasting them when they come back with their lies or their flip flops. Just an idea anyway.

Instead it is left up to each person to search out information and we already know how lazy most voters are. Someone asked me today at the gym what did each of the candidates left plan on doing with Israel. I would have loved to have just had a sheet to hand them on this and all the issues. And take the discussion from there. I am no one and it would have been great as a backup.

Che Guevara On Flag in Houston Campaign Office For Obama

The flag of the Castro-led Cuba regime, with Che Guevara's face superimposed on the side. A Fox report from Houston captured this image as it showed Obama supporters celebrating his momentum after Super Tuesday.

This clip from myfoxhouston.com shows a Barack Obama office in Houston with a flag over the desk...not the American flag, but the Cuban flag. And the flag is adorned by a picture of infamous terrorist, tyrant, and opponent of democracy, Che Guevara.

Che Guevara was a violent communist anti-American, something nobody would dispute.

McCain’s Radical Hispanic Outreach Director

McCain’s radical Hispanic outreach director

Wild Thing's comment........

This is the man McCain chose for his "Hispanic Outreach Director." In the past week McCain was asked about this choice, and he said he chose Hernandez because he agrees with his positions. If so, McCain is supporting invasion and reconquista.

Iin our Constitution, Article 4 Section 4, where it says the federal government MUST protect the states from invasion, and I can only conclude one thing, John McCain has no respect for our country or our Constitution.

Something I noticed in this video. I had to listen to it twice to make sure. I heard Juan Hernandez several times say " my friend". Now who does that remind me of? McCain and his constant saying that into nausium.

Good grief, he says he doesn't know previous positions of Juan Hernandez. Come on John at least don't lie about it. Well at least he didn't have this woman removed from the room like he did the other one in the TownHall meeting.

Moslems For Obama Should Concern Everyone

Radical Muslims for Obama
By Joe Kaufman

FrontPageMagazine.com

With its similarity to popular online sites such as Facebook and MySpace and its links to a network of grassroots blogs, Barack Obama’s campaign website has been hailed as a testament to the candidate’s transformative politics.

But at least part of the senator’s online outreach, “Muslim Americans for Obama ’08,” proposes installing Muslim prayer areas in public places and giving Muslims time off for prayer and has denounced Obama’s colleagues in the U.S. Senate who happen to be Jewish. This segment of Obama's online outreach also has ties to unindicted co-conspirators in terror trials and has recruited Obama supporters from among the ranks of fundamentalist Muslim extremists.

On the blog, which is attached to BarackObama.com, viewers can read about “the Senate pro-Israeli zionist hawk Joe Lieberman,” as well as criticism aimed at Obama himself for getting too cozy with the Israeli lobby. As stated on the blog, that last part was derived from information found on Electronic Intifada (EI), a terror apologist website based in Chicago, Illinois, Obama’s hometown. According to the site’s co-founder, Ali Abunimah, Senator Obama once told him, regarding Abunimah’s anti-American and anti-Israel writings, to “Keep up the good work!”

While the Muslim Americans for Obama ’08 blog is hosted by Obama’s website, it is actually part of another site that goes by the same name, located at muslimsforobama08.com. The registered agent for the site is Zakiyah Omar, a women’s costume designer from Jacksonville, Florida. Omar has been involved in the Obama campaign since December 2006 (She has had the site since February ’07). She too has her own blog hosted by the official Obama website.

On the Muslim Americans for Obama ’08 site, one will find a list of upcoming events, issues and solutions, details on how to join, a links section to sites of interest, and of course, a link to the blog. There’s even a toll-free number to call for more information.

Within the events section, a number of the listings pertain to conferences and conventions being sponsored by organizations that have a number of troubling ties. One is the 44th Annual ISNA National Convention, held in Rosemont, Illinois.

ISNA or the Islamic Society of North America (ISNA) was recently named an “Unindicted Co-conspirator” for a Dallas trial that dealt with the funding of millions of dollars to Hamas. Beginning in December 2003, ISNA was the subject of a Senate investigation into the financing of terror groups overseas. The group currently uses its website to propagate violent hatred against Jews and Christians. (more info at Frontpage)

Another of the events listed is the 32nd ICNA-MAS Convention, held in Hartford, Connecticut. ICNA or the Islamic Circle of North America, in August 2006, was the top donor to a Pakistani charity that, at the time, had given $99,000 to the head of Hamas, Khaled Mashaal. Four people associated with the ICNA-related ‘Houston Taliban’ were arrested and charged with jihad training with firearms, for the purpose of joining the Taliban to attack Americans overseas.

MAS or the Muslim American Society, like ISNA, uses the web to spread violent hatred against non-Muslims. In April 2004, MAS’s Communications Director, Randall Todd “Ismail” Royer, was sentenced to 20 years in prison for his activities within the ‘Virginia Jihad Network,’ a group that was conspiring with Laskar-e-Taiba (LeT) to attack Americans and Indians abroad.

Yet another event listing is the 2007 MANA National Convention, held in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. MANA or the Muslim Alliance in North America was founded in May of 2000, in response to the arrest of cop killer H. Rap Brown, a.k.a. Jamil Al-Amin. The President (Amir) of the organization is Siraj Wahhaj, an individual that was named by the U.S. government an “Unindicted Co-conspirator” in the 1993 World Trade Center bombing.

According to Muslim Americans for Obama ’08, it took part in “VOTER REGISTRATION/INFORMATION BOOTHS,” at each of the above venues. Taking that into consideration, since Muslim Americans for Obama ’08 is officially part of the Barack Obama for President team – or as the campaign puts it, “Community” – one can conclude that Senator Obama and/or his campaign had sanctioned its attendance at these events.

Further troubling are the following “Issues & Solutions” on the site:

* Institute a Law to allow Muslim Employees to take an hour off from work for Friday Jummah Prayer.

* Make the 2 Eid’s recognized National Holidays on Calendars with days off from work.

* Provide prayer areas suitable for Salah and Jummah, in public and private facilities. (i.e. Malls, Airports, Universities and government buildings.)

Found on the right side of the website’s homepage are a series of links, most of which deal with information about Senator Obama and the campaign. One of them, though, is a link to Aswat Al-Islam, a radical Islamic multimedia outlet. Muslim Americans for Obama ’08 lists it as “Quran (Audio) English Translation.”

Aswat Al-Islam features the works of such Islamist luminaries as: “Uninidicted Co-conspirators” of the 1993 World Trade Center bombing, Siraj Wahhaj and Bilal Philips; anti-Christian bigot, Ahmed Deedat; pro-wife beating author, Jamal Badawi; suicide bombing supporter, Yusuf Al-Qaradawi; and the chief cleric of the Grand Mosque in Mecca, who has called for the murders of Jews, Christians and Americans and has described Jews as “the scum of the human race, the rats of the world, the killers of prophets, and the grandsons of monkeys and pigs,” Abdul Rahman Al-Sudais.

According to Muslim Americans for Obama ’08, Senator Barack Obama “is the BEST candidate for the job in 2008.” But being the best candidate should have as a requisite keeping company that is worthy of respect. Recently, Obama has been cited for having a racist and anti-Israel pastor, Jeremiah Wright, and a campaign advisor that has expressed sympathy for Hamas and Hezbollah, Robert Malley.

If Sen. Obama truly is worthy of the presidency of the United States, he should publicly distance himself from these extremist groups and individuals. And if he does not want his campaign to be seen as hospitable to radical voices, he should sever his ties with the blog that provides credible evidence for this charge.

Wild Thing's comment........

Interesting article and he provides a lot of links and oh how I wish we had a different media. One that would get the true word out on all the candidates.

They could take one candidate an evening, no holds bared kind of thing for everyone in both political parties. Then just let the people decide but this way they would have all the facts in their faces. It might wake up some on the left that are not too far left and it would shame the RNC for giving us freaking rino's that descent people have had to talk themselves into voting for. Or am I dreaming here. sigh

Border-control Activists Bemoan McCain's Rise

Houston Chronicle ...for complete article

They've set up surveillance on the Rio Grande and filmed illegal immigrants crossing the river by night.

They've mapped border crossing spots from Texas to California in airplanes mounted with cameras. They've confronted day laborers on street corners and parking lots in Houston.

But now activist groups working to limit illegal immigration are stunned and dismayed by the rise of Arizona Sen. John McCain as the likely Republican presidential nominee — and a threat to their work and cause.

In their world, McCain is a traitor because he fought for a landmark bill last year that offered a path to citizenship for undocumented residents, a move some critics derided as "amnesty."

Members of these groups were discouraged Thursday after former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney — who took a hard line against illegal immigration — dropped out of the presidential race.

Some now joke about voting for Democratic Sen. Hillary Clinton. Others say it's time to switch to Republican Rep. Ron Paul, while others hope that former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee can somehow surge to the fore.

''There is no scenario anymore, everything is gone," lamented Shannon McGauley, founder and president of the Texas Minutemen, whose members have conducted operations on the Southwest border.

Curtis Collier, the head of U.S. Border Watch in Houston, said McCain's ascendancy, simply put, ''is bad for us, I'll be honest."

''None of the candidates are strong on immigration, and Romney probably was the strongest," said Collier, whose group regularly confronts day laborers at informal hiring centers around Houston. ''Now that he's gone, many of our issues are in trouble."

The depth of the negative feelings for McCain can be seen in comments by conservatives such as commentators Rush Limbaugh and Ann Coulter, who liken the GOP candidate to his Democratic counterparts.

''I don't see much difference between Hillary and McCain on immigration," said Louise Whiteford, president of Texans for Immigration Reform in Houston, which has 400-plus members. ''That doesn't give us much of a choice."

Consequently, Whiteford said her organization will begin focusing on local elections to advocate their agendas.

Wild Thing's comment........

Memo to McCain, if you become President please take seriously American sovereignty when you push through your Amnesty bill for the illegal foreign invasion.

The Straight Talk Express is more aptly named the “BS Limited.”

Ah Politics Truth Via Humor

A woman in a hot air balloon realized she was lost. She lowered her
altitude and spotted a man in a boat below. She shouted to him,
"Excuse me, can you help me? I promised a friend I would meet him an hour ago,
but I don't know where I am."

The man consulted his portable GPS and replied, "You're in a hot air
balloon, approximately 30 feet above a ground elevation of 2,346 feet
above sea level. You are at 31 degrees, 14.97 minutes north latitude
and 100 degrees, 49.09 minutes west longitude.

She rolled her eyes and said, "You must be a Republican."

I am," replied the man. "How did you know?"

"Well," answered the balloonist, "everything you told me is
technically correct, but I have no idea what to do with your
information, and I'm still lost. Frankly, you've not been much help to
me."

The man smiled and responded, "You must be a Democrat."

I am," replied the balloonist. "How did you know?"

Well," said the man, "You don't know where you are or where you're
going. You've risen to where you are, due to a large quantity of hot
air. You made a promise that you have no idea how to keep, and you
expect me to solve your problem. You're in exactly the same position
you were in before we met, but, somehow, now it's my fault."

....Thanks Mark for these.

Fred Thompson Backs McCain

Fred Thompson Backs McCain

Washingtonn Post

By Michael D. Shear

Fred Thompson, the one-time Republican presidential candidate, endorsed Sen. John McCain Friday, calling on the party to "close ranks" behind the presumed nominee.

"This is no longer about past preferences or differences. It is about what is best for our country and for me that means that Republican should close ranks behind John McCain," Thompson said in a statement reported by the Associated Press.

Thompson's endorsement was expected. The two men were colleagues for years in the Senate and shared what associates called a friendship. But while he was in the race, Thompson had bristled at the idea that he was going to drop out and endorse McCain.

The endorsement now may help McCain to coalesce the factions of the party around him. Thompson, who represented Tennessee in the Senate for eight years, is thought of well in the South, an area that McCain has not done well in.

Wild Thing's comment........

I was so hoping Thompson would sit this one out. sigh

Not that I’m thrilled...but if he had done this with Romney still in it would have been more disheartening. They are friends, but still Fred does disagree with McCain on the amnesty McCain desperately wanrts to pull off and other things as well.

What a mess all of this is! This is reminding me of the show "The Producers". Each old lady was promised a 100% share of the profits.

Huckabee Vows To Press On ~ No Surprise There

Huckabee Vows To Press On

My POW page at my webstie

Former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee’s campaign said Thursday the former governor will continue his campaign for the Republican nomination even now that former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney has left the race.

A spokeswoman for Huckabee said the campaign plans to “press forward.”

“We know it's an uphill climb, but we knew that a year ago when we announced,” said Kirsten Fedewa, a Huckabee spokeswoman.

With Romney out of the race, Sen. John McCain (Ariz.) is considered by most to be the presumptive frontrunner.

That said, Huckabee strung together an impressive slew of Southern victories on Super Tuesday, winning contests in his home state as well as West Virginia, Alabama, Georgia and Tennessee.

Wild Thing's comment........

So, he’s going to force McCain to choose him for VP.

Great.LOL McCain isn't going to be forced to pick Huckabee, and he isn't going to be forced to sincerely reach out to conservatives. Huckabee won West Virginia, but only because McCain gave it to him. Yes, Huck vows to press on.

Anybody with half a brain knows this charlatan has no chance of winning the nomination. He’s gathering bargaining chips for his self-aggrandizement and a position in the McCain presidential campaign.

McCain and Connections To Soros ~ Ugly Stuff

This is something I want to share with you. I have been taking notes about this, getting links and putting it together for awhile. There is a lot of information below and some of you might have known about it already. There may be some things here that are new or more detailed so please feel free to get the word out and if you like add it to your information about the candidate known as John McCain. - Wild Thing

The Reform Institute, founded in 2001 after Sen. McCain's failed presidential bid. The chairman of the board of the Reform Institute is ... John McCain. If you go to look at the press releases at reforminstitute.org, you will see that virtually every release mentions Sen. McCain in the first sentence. Not paragraph, sentence. Who runs the Reform Institute? Who is Richard Davis? He was John McCain's 2000 campaign manager. The counsel to the Reform Institute is Trevor Potter, whose law firm is paid more than $50,000 a year for the work. Who is Trevor Potter? Why, he was legal counsel to McCain 2000! The finance director of the Reform Institute is a woman named Carla Eudy. She was finance director for McCain 2000. The communications director is Crystal Benton; she was McCain's press secretary.

Recently the Reform Institute, which bills itself as "a thoughtful, moderate voice for reform in the campaign finance and election administration debates," launched what it calls the Natural Resources Stewardship Project. And what does natural resources stewardship have to do with "campaign finance and election administration"? As near as I can tell, its only connection to campaign finance and election administration is, as the institute's site tells us, that "Senators John McCain and Joe Lieberman have introduced the Climate Stewardship Act" in Congress. And, of course, John McCain is planning to run for president again, and his signature issue, other than campaign finance regulation, is global warming. To run the Natural Resources Stewardship Project, the institute hired John Raidt, who, you guessed it, served 15 years working on "environmental initiatives" for Sen. McCain.

And how is the Reform Institute funded? With contributions, in six figures or more, from individuals and corporations, including the cable company Cablevision. Cable companies are constantly before the Senate Commerce Committee, which Sen. McCain chaired at the time of Cablevision's contribution. In fact, Cablevision gave $200,000 to the Reform Institute around the same time its officials were testifying before the Senate Commerce Committee. Appearance of corruption, anyone?

McCain's Reform Institute for Campaign and Election Issues has long served as a nerve center for the so-called "campaign finance reform". It is a Virginia-based nonprofit group that McCain helped start to promote many of his trademark reform efforts, including increasing the transparency of lobbying and campaign financing.

Now let's look at Rick Davis.

One of the jobs that Rick Davis, John McCain's campaign manager does is to get funds. Now that we are getting down to the nitty gritty in this election let's look at something interesting.

Why does Rick Davis just about exclusively seek out for the major funding from these I will llist below some of them that support McCain, a supposedly conservative Republican? The list of donors published on the Reform Institute's Web site reads like a veritable Who's Who of radical, leftwing foundations.

Donations above $50,000 Or click HERE and go to ABOUT then to Donors.

Mr. William Bloomfield
Carnegie Corporation of New York
CSC Holdings, Inc.
Echosphere
The Educational Foundation of America
The JEHT Foundation
Mr. Jerome Kohlberg, Jr. Revocable Trust
McMullen Family Foundation
OSI Constitution & Legal Policy Program
Proteus Fund
Mr. Charles H. Spaulding
Stuart Family Foundation
Tides Foundation
American International Group Inc

~ The Tides Foundation, which heavily promotes "reproductive justice", giving over $500,000 to pro-abortion efforts. They also actively oppose the death penalty.

~ Educational Foundation Of America, which also supports abortion. EFA also opposes drilling in ANWR. EFA appears to contribute to just about every left-wing cause imaginable, as well as a number of noncontriversial charities and outreach efforts.

~ The Proteus Fund, this group spent $935K on supporting gay marriage initiatives. They have also spent over $800,000 funding nuclear-disarmament and antiwar causes in each of the last two years. Their Security Policy Working Group contains nothing but left-of-center groups like Project on Defense Alternatives, which calls the Iraqi elections "faulty".

~ OSI (Open Society Institute), founded and funded by George Soros. His name is all over it, including the link. is http://www.soros.org/. Among a litany of left-wing causes supported by OSI are People For The American Way, to support their Supreme Court Project.

And at the same site iyou can click on Leadership as well in the right side column to see the names you might be familar with, these are only a few names:

Arianna Huffington
U.S. Senator Bob Kerrey (D-NE)
Lindsey Graham...U.S. Senator
former U.S. Senators David Boren (D-OK)
Charles Bass, former congressman (R-NH)

Arianna Huffington serves on the Reform Institute's Advisory Board. Huffington has long acted as a front for George Soros' "campaign finance reform" efforts. In 2000, she organized the so-called Shadow Conventions which provided John McCain with a bully pulpit to stump for his now-infamous McCain-Feingold Act.

McCain is another political chameleon. AND he certainly is no conservative. He will be anywhere, say anything, or do anything to gain power. Add to this McCain was on the committee with JOHN KERRY - where they accepted the NV accounting of our missing in action. And .. of course Kerry was not going to force his friends to account for our men.

Maybe McCain didn't pull the trigger - but he sentenced those men to die in some stinking prison somewhere.

All the way back to 2005, radio talk show host Mark Levin also reported on McCain's connection to Soros, Carnegie Foundation and other far left groups. I took some notes while he spoke about all of this. Then looked it up again this last week.

Soros has hedged his bets on both sides.

And we kept hearing over and over from Huck and McCain and the media, as they kept putting Mitt Romney down constantly for putting his own funds into his campaign! I find it nice that Romney cared enough about his cause to put his money where his mouth is kind of thing. I remember when Mitt was asked about it he said. He didn;'t want anyone to donate more then he did, that way he was not obligated to anyone for favors when he hopefully became President!

Mitt No Longer In Presidential Race

Well I am watching CPAC and Laura Ingraham introduced Mitt Romney. Mitt gave an AWESOME speech and then he pulled out of the race. I am crying, yep I am. Sorry but this is so horrible. Mitt was coming further and further more and more conservative. And now what do we have left is a traitor to our POW's, to our security with his Amnesty obsession and a whiner jerk Huckabee. God help us. I will NOT be voting for a President for the first time in my life. I WILL like I said vote to get conservatives in the congressional races. DAMN just Damn!

To all the so called conservatives that want McCain enjoy the monster you are working so hard to elect. I doubt the POW's left behind will thank you though.

Just one last thing, a HUGE thank you to Team Theodore, gosh I love you all so much.

"Once John Wins, He'll Make A Left" ~ Suicide Voters"?? LOL

ONCE JOHN WINS, HE'LL MAKE A LEFT

By CHARLES HURT
New York Post

February 6, 2008

RUNNING as a conserva tive, John McCain rolled up huge victories last night in New York, New Jersey and beyond.
But if history is any guide, the McCain we've seen of late on the campaign trail is the most conservative McCain we'll ever see.

He has taken a commanding lead in the GOP primary by packaging himself as the "true conservative" committed to limited government, to slashed federal spending and to an avowedly conservative Supreme Court.

He claims the mantle of Ronald Reagan. He even claims the mantle of Barry Goldwater, conservatism's crack version of Reagan. But as McCain clinches the GOP nomination, he will begin his usual leftward lurch.

He will return to his lifelong positions as soft on illegal immigration, skeptical of tax cuts and favoring strong federal control over things like campaign financing.

McCain's appeal to independents and even the left is what makes him such a powerhouse in the general election.

It is also precisely what has so many in the Republican base so wildly fearful of handing him the keys to the kingdom.

If the Republican Party expands "because we have a candidate who's going out trying to attract liberals by being like them, then the party's going to be around but you won't recognize it," thundered radio king Rush Limbaugh.

The Republican Party will "be over as it exists now," he warns.

To understand just how McCain has managed to limp to the front of the GOP field, look no further than the outcome of yesterday's West Virginia Republican Convention.

At the outset, victory was in the air for Mitt Romney, the flip-flopping former Massachusetts governor.

He is universally loathed by all the other GOP candidates, who banded together to give all their votes to Mike Huckabee - simply to deny Romney a win.

The depressing GOP field that has paved a path to victory for McCain also gave surprising wins last night to Huckabee in Georgia, Alabama and Tennessee, as well as in his home state of Arkansas.

Still, McCain has so radicalized key conservatives that some have vowed to turn themselves into suicide voters next November by pulling the lever for Hillary Rodham Clinton over him.

This last-minute blitz against McCain by Limbaugh and others, however, comes far too late.

But if those conservatives sit out the general election, they will help Democrats make history by electing either the first black president or the first female president next November.

Wild Thing's comment.......

"Still, McCain has so radicalized key conservatives that some have vowed to turn themselves into suicide voters next November by pulling the lever for Hillary Rodham Clinton over him."

SUICIDE VOTERS ! LOL!

John Mc Cain is the modern day Benedict Arnold. McQueeg is not Reaganesque, he's Nixonian and worse in his dirty tricks on Super Tuesday. And we all know how McCain has attacked conservatism. Voters have been dumbed down to the point that they follow whatever they are told to do. Most of them. Conservatives, however, do still think for themselves. That will be McCain's downfall.

According to the votes, Romney is winning the conservative vote big time. That is GOOD news. Then there is the but.......But unfortunately McCain is winning the votes from the rino's and dems in the Republican party. And who know there is also a chance that Dems that are not as left as Hillary and Obama will be voting for McCain as well. Just my guess because where does a 'dem lite' go but to McCain.

McCain is not a conservative and barely a Republican. Before this year is out, the letters GOP will come to mean, “Get Out of Politics.”

Conservatives/Republicans never voted for open borders, trashing the First Amendment, “constitutional rights” for terrorists, or sacrificing the integrity of the Constitution in order to “protect the supposed integrity of Senate chicanery. No doubt, to the media and in John McCain’s mind, this is how the results are to be interpreted.

Turn left???
The man IS a democrat. - In the mold of a Lieberman on defense.
Okay, lets give that thought a roll here and see what turns up:

1) Endorses participation in the ICC. - so does Hillary.

2) Voted against the Bush tax cuts. - so did Hillary. ( McCain (only 2GOP / with Lincoln Chafee)....stated due to “tax cuts for the rich” typical liberal class warfare.

3) Wants Gitmo closed. - so does Hillary.

4) Demands an end to waterboarding. - so does Hillary.

5) Wants terrorists to have access to trial in America. - so does Hillary.

6) Wants America to be bound to a “Global Warming” agenda. - so does Hillary.
McCain supports Gore’s radical Global Warming approach

7) Wants amnesty, and authored and voted for McCain/Kennedy - so did Hillary.
Juan Hernandez in his campaign

8) Does not exclude known criminals and felons from amnesty. - neither does Hillary.

9) Does not believe that immigrants of any type should learn English. - Neither does Hillary.

10) has zero record on appointing judges. Neither does Hillary but they both did great damage to the process recently, John with the gang of .. how many? and Hillary with her voting record. Voted for Ruth Bader Ginsberg…
then also formed Gang 14 to prevent Bush’s appointments

11) John has a history of ill controlled temper - so does Hillary.

12) John opposes drilling in ANWAR - so does Hillary.

13) McCain - Feingold : against free political speech hurt GOP

14) Against Reagan’s Freedom Fighters in Nicaragua / El Salvador

Take out one or two fiscal issues and the man is closer to most dems than most dems are to each other!

There is still hope and there always will be. As long as conservatives never give up. I am talking about the Congress. This time around a number of senatorial seats, and House seats are coming up for election. If we can steer congress, we can get the judges we need.

The socialists think long term and will take half a loaf if they can get it, come back later and try to get a few more slices.

The SCOTUS will affect life for the next generation at least. Look for Stevens, Breyer, Ginsburg, Kennedy, maybe even Souter to retire after the elections, leaving the balance of the court subject to liberals.

Our job should be to get Representatives and Senators elected to stop that from happening. It's taken them the better part of a century to fully envelop the democratic party. They now are making inroads into the Republican party. They are patient, determined and they want us on the run.

Bottom line, I am still hoping Romney can make it to November and I can vote for him. He has been moving to more conservative ideals and beliefs, and McCain well all he does is move further and further to the left. If not then I will concentrate on the other things I mentioned. There IS always hope this is America and we are a country of people that know the cost of our freedom and the lives lost and injured to make this the land of the FREE. IMO our POW's from the Vietnam war and all the way back to WW11 are counting on us. Our burned, injured and handicapped Veterans from every war are counting on us. I will never turn my back on them.

God bless our country and thank God we live here where we can still speak out with our votes, and emails like we did with the TWO times Amnesty was attempted to be shoved upon us. I won't and never will give up.

John McCain: Razing Arizona

McCain rips club for growth during a trip to New Hampshire

This is an illegal alien lay-up site, of which there are thousands along our southern frontier, because of policies by open-border Senator John McCain.

Wild Thing's comment........

What amazes me is McCain WON his own State of AZ. What the hell is wrong with residents of AZ.? By voting for McCain how can they make one complaint now about the illegals and their crimes, murder, rape, molesting children, drugs etc. Give me a break! They had a chance on Super Tuesday to vote big time for Romney a man that calls it like it is Amnesty and he said to right to McCain during the debates. They had a choice and I think they made the wrong one.

ROMNEY: CO, MA, MN, MT, ND, UT

McCain will do anything underhanded to win. Huckabee sorry I can't even describe him he makes me so sick.

Here in Florida when we voted the independents were permitted to cross over and vote. Due to the presence of the Property tax amendment which allowed a limited number of Independents to cast votes in one party or the other. Stupid and wrong in so many ways. Independents should NOT be allowed to vote in the primary, that is just wrong and this is why. They can also cast a vote for President and since most independents are not conservatives they will pick the rino's or a dem.

What happened in WV is a total disgrace and is on the head of the head rino in chief McCain and his bolyfriend Huck the Hick.

That happened in other States as well.

A quote to go along with this:

"Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction.
We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same, or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children and our children's children what it was once like in the United States where men were free." ~ Ronald Reagan

Dirty McCain Delegates Whore For Huckabee To Win

Romney took a solid lead in the first round of voting in West Virginia Republican Caucus. He was up 41% to Huckabee’s 33%. At that time, the McCain camp conceded that caucus and asked their caucus voters to vote for Mike Huckabee in the second round of voting. This was enough for Huckabee to eclipse Romney 52% to 47%.

Huckabee wins West Virginia on the second ballot and takes all 18 delegates.

Don't Ask McCain - The best bloopers are a click away

Republican Mike Huckabee scored the first Super Tuesday victory, winning all 18 delegates at stake in West Virginia -- partially with the help of Sen. John McCain's backers.

The former Arkansas governor won with the support of 52 percent of the state's GOP convention delegates on the second round of balloting. Former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney came in second with 47 percent of the vote, and Sen. John McCain of Arizona was backed by 1 percent of the delegates.

Romney was ahead in the first round of voting in Charleston but failed to get the majority needed to win.

It appeared supporters of McCain, who placed a distant third on the first ballot, moved over to Huckabee, helping him carry the day.

Romney's campaign was furious over the "Washington backroom deal."

"Unfortunately, this is what Sen. McCain's inside Washington ways look like: He cut a backroom deal with the tax-and-spend candidate he thought could best stop Gov. Romney's campaign of conservative change," read a statement from Romney campaign manager Beth Myers.

"This is raw politics as it's really practiced," CNN senior political analyst Bill Schneider said. "The McCain supporters who were third in the first round decided to throw their weight behind Mike Huckabee in order to stop Mitt Romney from winning this convention. And look at that -- they did."

More from Romney's campaign:

“Governor Romney had enough respect for the Republican voters of West Virginia to make an appeal to them about the future of the party based on issues. This is why he led on today’s first ballot. Sadly, Senator McCain cut a Washington backroom deal in a way that once again underscores his legacy of working against Republicans who are interested in championing conservative policies and rebuilding the party.”

Wild Thing's comment........

MCCain threw his bitch a bone. ( sorry but this is a vile thing to do even from a democrat in his soul and heart like traitor McCain and Hick Huckabee).
Huck can’t win unless McLame throws him a bone. Huckabee is McCain's mini-me.

Romney is a good man, most certainly NOT even close to being the scum that McCain and Huck the hick are.

Attorneys For Guantánamo Captives Back Barack Hussein Obama

Attorneys for Guantánamo captives back Obama's bid

More than 80 attorneys for war-on-terrorism prisoners being held by the U.S. in Cuba said `we are at a critical point in the presidential campaign.'

Miami Herald

WASHINGTON

More than 80 attorneys who have been offering free-of-charge legal services to Guantánamo detainees issued a statement Monday supporting Democrat Barack Obama's presidential bid.

''We are at a critical point in the presidential campaign, and as lawyers who have been deeply involved in the Guantánamo litigation to preserve the important right to habeas corpus, we are writing to urge you to support Senator Obama,'' the lawyers said in an open letter dated Monday.

Lawyers signing it included partners from major U.S. law firms and small-town practitioners as well as Michael Ratner, whose New York Center for Constitutional Rights has for years coordinated legal efforts to provide representation to each of the men held without charge at the offshore prison compound in southeast Cuba.

In 2006, Congress stripped the Guantánamo captives of the traditional right to file writs of habeas corpus in U.S. district court to challenge their detention -- and instead offered detainees more limited appeals in federal courts.

The U.S. Supreme Court is now reviewing the constitutionality of that law.

Guantánamo has not been a major theme of the presidential campaign, but mainstream candidates on both sides -- notably former Vietnam POW John McCain, the Republican senator -- have said they would move to close the prison camps because they have stirred anti-American anger across the globe.

Obama has gone further than many. In a November, he pledged to both close the prison camps and ''restore habeas corpus,'' a position that Democratic rival John Edwards has also staked out.

Hillary Clinton, likewise, has said from the U.S. Senate that she favors closure. But she has not prominently included pledges to do it in her campaign speeches.

Republican candidate Mitt Romney, in contrast, has advocated doubling the detention center -- which today holds about 275 foreign men as enemy combatants and cell space for more than 1,500.

The Pentagon calls the war-on-terrorism compound a post-9/11 necessity and says captives there are held humanely, many of whom can go before military boards to argue they are no threat to the United States and should be set free.

Wild Thing's comment........

I posted this video before, but I have to wonder why they are not backing McCain since he also wants to close GITMO and bring the terrosts back to our country. Hmmmmmm Maybe it is the Moslem thing in Obama's past, who knows.

Rev. Jesse Lee Peterson Endorses Romney

Rev. Jesse Lee Peterson Announces Personal Endorsement of
Governor Romney for President of the United States

Los Angeles

Rev. Jesse Lee Peterson, author, radio host and Founder and President of BOND, the Brotherhood Organization of A New Destiny, announced this morning his personal endorsement of Governor Mitt Romney for President of the United States:

“I have never before endorsed a candidate for President of the United States, but the circumstances that have been placed upon us and the gravity of this election have caused me to come forward at this time.
Love of God, family and country are the most important values in my life. All are under attack in America as never before. I believe that Governor Romney, though not without flaws in his record, is a decent, highly capable man who believes in these same values.

I also understand that America as we know it will cease to exist if we continue our course of leaving our borders largely unprotected; and all other issues of contention will become moot. Governor Romney, through his statements and the recent addition of border enforcement warrior Professor Kris Kobach to his advisory staff, is indicating that he understands the severity of this issue.

In contrast, Senator McCain has co-sponsored legislation to give amnesty to illegal aliens, and named open borders advocate and former member of Mexican President Vicente Fox’s administration, Dr. Juan Hernandez, as his Hispanic Outreach Director.

As for Senators Clinton and Obama, because of their lack of will to secure our borders, as well as their commitment to unrestricted abortion, increased taxes and regulation, and an appeasement strategy toward our enemies, are unworthy of endorsement consideration.

My endorsement of Governor Romney is personal. I am in no way speaking on behalf of my organization, BOND. America is the greatest country in the world. I am committed to preserving and protecting it for future generations, and I believe today’s endorsement is in keeping with that commitment.”

Wild Thing's comment........

If any of you watch Fox News channel you have probably seen Rev. Jesse Lee Peterson many times. He is an honorable man and a true conservative. He is polite and seems like a good man.

BOND stands for Brotherhood Organization for a New Destiny. Their motto is "Rebuilding the Family by Rebuilding the Man".

Mr. Romney has flaws in his record, but he is a decent, capable man. McCain shares neither of those traits.

Rev. Jesse Peterson is the good Reverend Jesse—I really respect him.

Best Person for the Job by Walid Phares

The Best Person for the Job by Walid Phares, Ph.D.

Family Security Matters

Walid Phares is the FamilySecurityMatters.org Contributing Editor, Walid Phares is the director of Future Terrorism Project at the Foundation for the Defense of Democracies, a visiting scholar at the European Foundation for Democracy, and the author of The War of Ideas: Jihadism against Democracy.

When it comes to US Presidential elections, the post 9/11 era has changed the rules of engagement for national security experts and for those who can read the Jihadists’ minds. While the counterterrorism community should let the voters chose their chief executive first, then later offer expert advice to the President, unfortunately, the world has changed.

Indeed, since the 9/11 and the engagement of the nation in the war with Jihadism, the selection of the US President can fundamentally affect the very survival of the American people. Whoever occupies the White House in 2009, for the next 4 to 8 years will have to make decisions that will have cataclysmic consequences on the physical security and the freedoms of 300 million citizens in this country, and eventually on the free world as a whole.

The leader of the most powerful democracy in the world has to be able to know who the enemy is so that all resources are put into action against it. Without this, the next US President could cause a major disaster to happen to this nation. American voters cannot afford to install a man or a woman who can’t identify and define the enemy. If you can’t see an enemy, you simply cannot defeat it.

The 2004 Presidential elections took place in quasi-popular ignorance. The sitting -- and fighting -- President was reelected by the basic instincts of Americans, but not by enlightened citizens. An overwhelming majority of voters was not fully informed as to the real stakes. The country was told that the war in Iraq was wrong, and about half of the country believed it. They were also told there was no war on terror, but worse, they were never told who the enemy was or what it really wanted.

The 2008 elections are crucial

In 2008, America is quite different and the outlook of the forthcoming confrontation is, by far, much more dramatic. US forces are still deployed in Afghanistan and Iraq and the Jihadists -- of all types, regimes and organizations -- are still committed to reverse the move towards democracy in these two countries. The war there is not over. Rather the greater challenges are yet to begin.

Al Qaeda got beaten badly in the Sunni Triangle and in Somalia but a younger generation of Jihadists is being put into battle across the region. Not one single Sunni country will escape the rise of Salafi Terror in the next US Presidential term.

Worse:

· Iran’s regime is speeding up its strategic armament, testing American resolve when possible;

· Syria is surviving its isolation and bleeding our allies in Iraq and Lebanon;

· Hezbollah is about to seize Lebanon;

· Hamas has seized Gaza;

· Turkey’s Islamists are reversing secularism; and

· Pakistan’s Jihadists are eying the nuclear missiles.

Even worse than this, three generations of Jihadists have penetrated the social and defense layers of Western Europe and the United States.

In his or her first term, the next President may have to witness European cities burned by urban warfare, and in the second presidential term, could be forced to arm doomsday devices for the first time in this century. Thus the choice of the best candidate is not a matter of routine this time around.

As never before, Americans must scrutinize the agendas of their candidates and find out which platform is the best suited for what is to come, and decide who among them can face off a lethal enemy while building the vital coalitions the world needs. At this point in US and world history, Party, gender, race, and social class affiliations are insufficient reasons by themselves to choose the forthcoming President.

Americans should not pay attention to who said what and who flip flopped when. Frankly, it doesn’t matter at this stage if it is a he or a she, of this or that race, of this or another church, or if the President is single, has a large family or has been divorced twice. The stakes are much higher than the usual sweet, but irrelevant, American personality debate.

I want to know if the candidates are strong willed, smart, educated about the world, informed about the threat, can define it, can identify it, can fight it, are not duped by their bureaucracy, cannot be influenced by foreign regimes or special interest groups, have the right advisors, can run an economy while commanding a war and still see the threats as they handle daily crises and take drastic measures as hard times confront them. I want to know if the candidates will be very specific when they educate their public about the menace. In short, I don’t want to see the fall of Constantinople repeated on these shores in the next decade or two. Humanity will not recover from such a disaster.

If we knew where we are in the world, we’d look at survival first before we debate anything else. I am among those who believe -- and see -- that this country (and other democracies) are marked for violence, aggression and terror. All our hopes about the economy, social justice, cultural harmony, wealth, and technological advancement are thoroughly dependant on the ability of the rising menace to crumble this country’s national security and all that would collapse with it.

Probably I am among the few who see the clouds gathering around the globe and thus have been urging leaders to act fast, decisively and early on to avoid the future Jihad that already has begun. Were these dangers not there, I would be fully eager -- like any citizen -- to argue forcefully about the crucial matters of our existence: health, environment, nutrition, scientific discoveries, animal protection and space exploration. But that is not the world I see ahead of us in the immediate future.

Hence, we must postpone the social and philosophical dreams to better times. As a nation, we must all be concerned with who among the candidates can simply understand the tragic equation we’re in and be able to use the resources of this nation to meet the dire challenges ahead of us. This year, Americans need to see and certify that the next occupant of the White House lives on this planet, in this age, knows that we are at war, and above all knows which war we are fighting. The margin of error is too slim to allow anything else.

Future Jihad is coming

By 2012 the Jihadists may recruit one million suicide bombers and could align two nuclear powers. By 2016 they would deploy 10 million suicide bombers and seize five regimes equipped with the final weapon. In the next eight years, NATO’s European membership and US interests worldwide could be battling urban intifadas. To avoid these prospects of apocalypse, the offices on Pennsylvania Avenue must catch up with lost opportunities before next winter.

And that potential hyperdrama hinges on the mind and the nerves of the next President of this country.

I am looking at the most terrifying item on any Presidential agenda: national security. Here is what I’ve found so far.

The Obama and Clinton agendas

Senators Obama and Clinton acknowledge that a “war on terror” is on. Both have pledged to pursue al Qaeda relentlessly. Also, Obama and Clinton, to the surprise of their critics, have enlisted good counterterrorism experts as advisors. But from there on, the findings get darker.

The Senator from Illinois wants to end the campaign in Iraq abruptly, which would lead to the crumbling of the democratic experiment and a chain of disasters from Afghanistan to Lebanon, opening the path for a Khomeinist Jihadi empire accessing the Persian Gulf and the Eastern Mediterranean. Obama’s campaign needs to radically transform its agenda on worldview so that the voices of the oppressed peoples in that part of the world can be heard. Maybe a trip to Darfur and Beirut can help rethink his agenda. Unfortunately the latest news from the campaign isn’t encouraging. The Senator wants to shake the hands of Dictator Assad, authoritarian Chavez, apocalyptic Ahmadinejad and perhaps even the Khartoum bullies of Sudan’s Africans. No need for further evidence: such an agenda in the next White House is anathema to the progress of human history.

Senator Clinton has a powerful political machine and happens to have enlisted top national security experts in her team. She will commit to stand by Israel and would not visit the oppressors of women in Tehran. But beyond this, her foreign policy agenda (despite the knowledgeable expertise available to her) is “a bridge back to the twentieth century.”

Indeed, the plan is to withdraw from Iraq without defeating the Jihadists, without containing the Iranians and without solidifying democracy. A retreat from the Middle East will be paved with a commitment not to let Israel down; a commitment which would lose its teeth, once the Pasdarans march through Iraq and Syria and install Armageddon’s Shahhab missiles in the hands of Hezbollah. On the Senator’s agenda, there is no definition of the enemy or commitment to contain it, reverse it or defeat it. There are no policies of solidarity with oppressed peoples and there is no alliance with the democratic forces of the region. Mrs. Clinton won’t befriend Ahmadinejad but would let him -- and other Islamists -- crush her own gender across many continents.

But more important, from an American perspective, would be the crisis to expect in Homeland Security if one or the other agendas advanced by these two Senators come to pass. An army of experts, activists and lobbyists would invade all levels of national security and reinstall pre 9/11 attitudes. In short Jihadophilia would prevail, even without the knowledge or the consent of that future White House. It already happened in the 1990s and led to what we know.

The reading of political genomes has no margin for error. The electoral platforms of the two Senators are enemy-definition-free. Not identifying the enemy is equal to not defining the threat. Thus, and unless the right advisors rush to fill that gap before the national election, Democrat voters will not have a chance to bring in a solid and knowledgeable defender of the nation.

The Republicans' two options

On the other side of the spectrum, Republicans are struggling with a different choice, nonetheless as challenging and with long term consequences. McCain and Romney are ready to engage battle with the enemy, pursue the so-called War on Terror and continue fighting al Qaeda in Iraq and Afghanistan. Their agendas attempted to define the threat, leaping ahead of their competitors on the other side of the aisle. Their statements and posted documents are irrefutable evidence that, if they gain the White House, they would neither surrender the country to domestic infiltration nor disengage from the confrontation overseas. On this ground alone, and unless the Democrat contenders and their final nominee change their counterterrorism approach, the final choice American voters will have to make -- on national security -- will be dramatically different and irreversibly full of consequences.

The single most important ingredient in the War with Jihadism, the identification of the threat, is at the heart of our success or failure. The leading Republican candidates are equal in fingering what they perceive as the enemy: they have called it “radical Islam” and have given it different attributes - “Islamo-fascism,” “extremist Islamism,” “Islamic terrorism,” and other similar descriptions. In that regard they are at the opposite end of their Democrat contenders.

But in my analysis, after more than 25 years of study and observation of the phenomenon, and seven years after 9/11, the term “radical Islam” is not enough when a US President (or another world leader) wants to define the danger and build strategies against it. The term, “Radical Islam”, falls short of catching the actual threat doctrine, which is Jihadism. In my judgment, those candidates who take the ideological battle lightly are not as well equipped as those who have done their homework fully and offered the voters and the public a comprehensive doctrine on counter Jihadism.

We’re not dealing with semantics here, but with keys to unlock the stagnation in the current conflict. Short of having a future President who knows exactly who the enemy is, how it thinks, and how to defeat it, the conflict cannot be won. There can be no guesses, no broad drawings, no general directions, no colorful slogans, and no good intentions alone.

This next President has to understand the Jihadist ideology by him or herself, and not rely on advisors to place descriptions in the speeches, and change them at the wish of lobbyists or other interest groups.

This nuance in understanding the threat and in articulating the rhetoric has gigantic consequences. All strategies related to fighting al Qaeda in Afghanistan, in Iraq and within the West, and related to containing Khomeinist power in the region and beyond, emanates from a US understanding of their ideologies and key elements of their global strategies.

Hence, when I examine the agendas of the Republican candidates and analyze their speeches, I look at indicators showing the comprehension of the bigger picture.

McCain and Romney have developed common instincts as to where it is coming from; but that is not enough.

Americans need to see and know that their future President can present sophisticated rhetoric, is ready to go on the offensive and move against the enemy before the latter attacks American and allies’ targets. Being just tough and willing to strike back heavily is not anymore an acceptable threshold.

We need the next President to be aware of what the other side is preparing, preempt it and do it faster than any predecessor. The next stage in this war is will be about moving swiftly and sometimes stealthily to reach the production structure of the enemy. And to do this, our leaders need to identify and define the threat doctrine and design a counter doctrine, a matter the US Government has failed to achieve in the first seven years of the war.

The two leading contenders on the Republican side, McCain and Romney, both recognize that there is an enemy, they are committed to defeat it, but they identify it with different specificity.

Senator McCain says it is “Radical Islam,” and pledges to increase the current level of involvement. On Iraq, the former Navy Pilot says he will continue to fight till there are no more enemies to fight. To me that is a trenches battlefield: we’ll pound them till they have no more trenches.

Governor Romney says the enemy is Global Jihadism, and it has more than the one battlefield of Iraq. And because the Jihadists are in control of regimes, interests and omnipresent in the region and worldwide, the US counter strategies cannot and should not be limited to “entrenchment” but to counter attacks, preemptive moves and putting allied forces on the existing and new battlefields. Besides not all confrontations have to be military.

The difference in wording between the general term “radical Islam” and the focused threat doctrine “Jihadism” says it all. One leads to concentrate one type of power in one place, regardless of what the enemy is and wants to do; and the other concept leads to punch the foe from many places on multiple levels and be decisive in ending the conflict. I am sure Senator McCain can follow the same reasoning and catch up with the geopolitics of the enemy but so far Governor Romney has readied himself better in strategizing to defeat this enemy.

The next stage of the war will be a mind battle with the Jihadists. They aren’t just a bunch of Barbarians who seek to shed blood. They have had, for decades, a very advanced and sophisticated strategy, and they are ready to confront our next President and defeat the United States.

This is why I have come to the conclusion that Governor Romney has the capacity of managing the counter strategies against the Jihadists, only because he stated to the public that he sees the enemy as to who they are. And if a President can see them, he can defeat them. His Republican contender, now leading in the polls, can sense them but hasn’t specifically identified them. The leading candidates on the other side are making progress in the opposite direction: one wants to end the War unilaterally and the other wants to make Peace with the oppressors.

In short, if elected, Romney will try to destroy the mother ship, McCain will supply the trenches, Clinton will pull the troops back to the barracks and Obama will visit the foes’ bunkers.

I recommend Governor Romney for the Republican primaries as first among equals, while believing Senator McCain to be a genuine leader. If Romney is selected, I believe America may have a chance to defeat this enemy with new strategies. If his contender is selected, we will have four or eight more years of the past seven years.

On the other side, I have suggested to counterterrorism experts that they help Democrat candidates restructure their agendas on national security in line with the reality of the enemy. I would like to see both Parties understanding and presenting a united vision of the threat, while differing on how to confront it. That would be the ideal situation for America and, at the very least, a response to the deepest will of the American public.

Maria Shriver Endorses Obama

JF Kennedy niece Maria Shriver backs Obama
Breitbart.com

Maria Shriver -- wife of California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger and a member of the powerful Kennedy political clan -- on Sunday endorsed Barack Obama for US president, just days after her former-actor husband backed Republican John McCain.
"The more I thought about it, I thought, you know, if Barack Obama was a state, he'd be California," Shriver said to cheers at a rally held at the University of California for the Democratic presidential contender.

"I mean, think about it: diverse, open, smart, independent, bucks tradition, innovative, inspiring, dreamer, leader!" said Shriver, a member of America's foremost political dynasty.

The celebrity-packed rally was also attended by US talk show queen Oprah Winfrey, Shriver's cousin Caroline Kennedy who is the daughter of slain president John F. Kennedy, Obama's wife Michelle, and pop music legend Stevie Wonder.

The California first lady added that Obama "is about the power of us, and what we can do when we come together. Because as everybody up here has said, there is much more that unites us than divides us.

"He is about empowering women, African-Americans, Latinos, older people, young people. He's about empowering all of us."

The Kennedy's trying to hitch their wagon to a so called rising star in hopes of staying relevant!

Massachusetts Kennedys are for Obama, New York Kennedys are “forced” to be for “new” New York grifters and carpetbaggers Clintons.

Arnold Schwarzenegger is for yet another liberal - McCain.

Time for Some Real Straight Talk

JB Williams
January 31, 2008

Republicans had better rush to come to grips with the reality that all of our smart options for the 2008 election cycle are already off the table. Unlike past elections, Republicans actually had two very strong conservatives to unite behind in the 2008 primaries, Thompson and Hunter, and they failed to unite behind either of them.

The time to stand up for a true traditional conservative Republican has passed. The chance to do something smart no longer exists. Now we have one last shot and less than one week to do something that is at least half-smart.

John McCain Is An Outright Liar

It is no less than Clintonesque to listen to John “amnesty” McCain call himself “the official new leader of the conservative movement in America.”

McCain is not being nominated by conservatives. He is being nominated by liberal Independents in open primaries and liberal RINOs in closed primaries. He has very little support among conservatives and he can’t win in November as a result.

But more importantly, on the issues facing our nation today, John McCain is no more conservative or Republican than Hillary Clinton or Barack Obama. In fact, after more than three decades in Washington DC, his friends are not Washington conservatives, but Washington liberals like Clinton, Obama, Kennedy, Lieberman, Graham and Martinez.

Bold Faced Lying On The Issues

John McCain says he “changed the strategy in Iraq” and now we are winning in Iraq. But John McCain changed nothing in Iraq. He only supported beefing up the existing strategy in Iraq by putting more boots on the ground. A good move that should have happened sooner, but by no means a “change in strategy.”

Worse yet on this subject, McCain is on record fighting for open borders, legalizing illegal immigration, closing down Gitmo and giving known terrorists access to the US criminal courts, while refusing to aggressively interrogate those who can tell us when and where the next 9/11 might happen. Yet, to hear him from the campaign stump, he’s strong on national security, just not any of the measures needed to actually secure a nation under attack.

McCain now says he is for the Bush tax cuts that he railed against and indeed voted against in the Senate.

McCain sided with Kennedy, Lieberman and Russ Feingold in passing the first legislation to limit free political speech in US history, some of which has since been ruled unconstitutional by the Supreme Court. Yet he sees himself as a conservative champion of liberty and freedom.

In short, McCain’s senate record is that of an inside-the-beltway Washington liberal, not any form of a conservative or even a Republican. McCain is so far left that he is fully on-board Al Gore’s Global Warming Swindle and promises to usher in the economically disastrous policies drafted and advanced by international socialists for the sole purpose of bringing America to its economic knees.

But none of this is the John McCain touted from the campaign stump. Almost every word coming out of McCain’s so-called “Straight-Talk Express” is an outright lie.

South Carolina & Florida Change Everything

Like it or not, the worst possible Republican candidate has emerged from key conservative states the liberal victor of the early Republican primaries. In an instant, I went from being for a conservative or no one else, to being a reluctant Romney supporter as a result.

There is NO meaningful difference between a vote cast for Clinton, Obama or McCain. Ideologically, they are the same person and the same vote. All three are cut from the same cloth. It matter’s not a bit which of them wins the November election as all three believe in the same things.

Remember, all desirable smart options are already off the table. Only one half-smart option remains and the clock is ticking fast on this one.

One Shot And One Week To Do Something About It

No matter how I feel about Mitt Romney, or disagree with some of his past positions, some of which he now disagrees with as well, he is not Hillary Clinton, Barack Hussein Obama or John “amnesty - weak on terror” McCain.

I am a staunch conservative who supported Fred Thompson and Duncan Hunter until they were no longer in the race. Even then, I was quite temped to vote for them in the primaries just to make a statement against all others. In part, this is what happened in Florida, making it possible for the most liberal Republican to claim he now holds the conservative mantle. What a joke! Except not so funny…

The fact is, Republican ideologues like me, clinging to my principles and my principled but failing candidate, helped John McCain become the unlikely front-runner for the Republican nomination. Thompson, Hunter, Paul, Giuliani and Huck fans all put McCain in the lead. That means we have the power to take him out of the lead.

Straight Talk About Principled Voters

Standing firmly and unapologetically upon American values and principles is never wrong. It’s in fact the basis of conservatism and our founders called upon each of us to do exactly that.

But it is not always the best political strategy for doing all we can to protect and preserve those principles and values. The founders also warned us to be forever vigilant and somehow, we failed to head this mess off at the pass and avoid the need to make less than attractive choices.

Sometimes, when vigilance has been forgotten for too long and smart options are no longer available, a half-smart alternative is the best we can do. It seems to me that this is the crossroads we conservatives find ourselves at once again.

Four Candidates Standing – Two Choices Available

Thompson and Hunter dropped out of the race a week ago. Giuliani dropped out last night and endorsed the other liberal in the race, John McCain. The Huckaboom has already enjoyed its last bang in Iowa. Paul was never in the race, other than as a Perot type spoiler with much less support.

The Republican race is down to McCain and Romney, neither of them ideal, but one of them an outright career backstabbing liberal liar and the other, at least a reasonable hope for something much better.

Republican voters have six days to decide whether to hold their noses and help Romney defeat McCain on Super Tuesday, or stink up the entire country by voting against Clinton, Obama or McCain in November. No matter which of these three we vote against in November, we will get the same result.

Tomorrow, John Edwards will drop out of the DNC race. Clinton or Obama will be on the Democrat ticket in November, maybe both of them.

Four candidates remain and three of them are equally dangerous to America. Only one offers even a glimmer of hope to Republicans and conservatives, Mitt Romney.

Straight Talk About November

McCain has been propped up by the leftist press ever since he lost to Bush in 2000. He is the darling of the lame leadership of the Republican National Committee who has clearly determined that joining the left is the only way to compete with the left.

Romney is at least a Washington outsider with significant experience, strong family values, a moral compass and a general sense that America should be what the founders established it to be. McCain is none of these things.

Romney can attract most Republican voters under these conditions. If we propel him ahead of McCain, then help him continue to move right in the coming weeks and help him choose the right running mate at the convention, we can at least limit our losses. We have hope…

But McCain will never attract the support of the conservative base he has spent years stabbing in the back. Doubt me on that one and you can inaugurate Hillary for certain.

You Decide

We passed on the smart option of pro-actively and aggressively supporting a true conservative. It’s time to cut that loss loose and do something smart now. You can decide to sit back, lick your wounds and complain about losing America to the left, be it under Clinton, McCain or Obama.

Or, you can take immediate pro-active measures to stop the train wreck called McCain and limit our losses by making certain that the choice in November is at least a choice between wide open socialism under a Democrat White House with a Democrat congress, and a Republican who owes his presidency to the people who carried him to victory against the odds, the MSM and the Martinez RNC.

You decide, but decide fast! Super Tuesday is your last chance to do something at least half-smart. The consequences of failing to do so are immeasurable.

JB Williams is a business man, a husband, a father, and a writer. A no nonsense commentator on American politics, American history, and American philosophy. A hard hitting columnist, attacking the socialist cancer plaguing America today. He has a pragmatic “common Joe” approach to even the toughest issues facing our nation.

This is another article he wrote:
How the Republican Party Committed National Suicide....This one is excellent as well!!!!!

Wild Thing's comment........

I never heard of this man till Tom sent me one of the articles in this post. I think JB Williams makes valid comments in both of these articles. I stand by what I said after Fred Thompson pulled out and I had already voted for him. If Romney makes it to November, I will be voting for Romney.

McCain is radioactive. McCain has has made a career of stabbing us in the back and worse yet has stabbed in the back the POW's in the Vietnam War.

In McCain's heart he does not want to secure our borders and securing our borders is very much a part of the war. How dare our country ask our troops to risk their lives, make sacrifices, and then in return not make our country secure back here at home as much as possible. This isn't the Great Wall of China we are asking to be built! We have existing laws for immigration and plenty of people follow them, they wait a long time to do it right and follow our immigration laws. And we are to cater to the illegals coming in here and re-write laws for THEM??? To make it easy for THEM??? I THINK NOT!

It is one thing to vote for a candidate who wants to fight a war in the Middle East, but quite another to listen to that politician tout his “war” credentials and then vote to allow any illegal over the border regardless of nationality or creed. And McCain will do this, and will not stop till he does.

McCain is also against the use of interrogation techniques that our intelligence agencies have stated has procured information that was used to stop terrorist attacks against this Country. Would these attacks have been successful with a President McCain? Just something to think about. During the debates Romney said he disagreed with McCain on this and that to even put out there for terrorists to know what we would do and not do is dangerous for our troops.

As far as the Supreme Court judge issue - he has said that he doesn't like Alito because "he wears his conservatism on his sleeve for everyone to see". He clearly hates conservatives.

And the 'if we don't support the GOP nominee' well...... We are in the position we are now because the GOP pushed for someone who's allegedly electable, but only because he's more liberal than what a GOP candidate should be. Supporting McCain now will only reinforce what the fools running the party now believe- that in order to beat the Democrats, the Republicans must become more liberal.

You do not advance conservatism by becoming more liberal. It never works. imo Rest assured, the GOP will never recover from this annoitment of McCain. Never. They will not change as long as we keep supporting liberals like McCain.

Conservatives didn't choose McCain. He was chosen by the MSM, the RNC, the GOP good old boys, and the RINOs who support them.

.....Thank you so much Tom for sending this to me.
