Eli Jones is a liar and a charlatan. He posted some crap about Trinity United Church of Christ’s vision statement. Here’s the real one: Mission Statement Trinity United Church of Christ has been called by God to be a congregation that is not ashamed of the gospel of Jesus Christ and that does not apologize for its African roots! As a congregation of baptized believers, we are called to be agents of liberation not only for the oppressed, but for all of God�s family. We, as a church family, acknowledge, that we will, building on this affirmation of “who we are” and “whose we are,” call men, women, boys and girls to the liberating love of Jesus Christ, inviting them to become a part of the church universal, responding to Jesus� command that we go into all the world and make disciples! We are called out to be “a chosen people” that pays no attention to socio-economic or educational backgrounds. We are made up of the highly educated and the uneducated. Our congregation is a combination of the haves and the have-nots; the economically disadvantaged, the under-class, the unemployed and the employable. The fortunate who are among us combine forces with the less fortunate to become agents of change for God who is not pleased with America�s economic mal-distribution! W.E.B. DuBois indicated that the problem in the 20th century was going to be the problem of the color line. He was absolutely correct. Our job as servants of God is to address that problem and eradicate it in the name of Him who came for the whole world by calling all men, women, boys and girls to Christ.

Annoy the Media: Go Vote And the ‘Common Sense Effect’ by Newt Gingrich (more by this author) Posted 11/04/2008 ET Today marks the end of one of the most dishonest, relentlessly one-sided campaigns of bias and distortion by the mainstream media in American history. The latest tactic in this elite media campaign has been to declare the presidential race over in an effort to discourage some voters from going to the polls. After all, if Barack Obama has already won, why should supporters of John McCain even bother to vote? But this election won?t be decided by Keith Olbermann, or CNN, or the New York Times. It will be decided by you. So annoy the mainstream media. Remember 2000. Remember how close it was. Remember how every single vote counted. Go out and vote. Now. The Bradley Effect vs. The Common Sense Effect The same biased media that has declared the presidential race over has also (just to be sure) come up with a rationalization in the event that their candidate loses. They call it the Bradley Effect, after the former Mayor of Los Angeles Tom Bradley?s unsuccessful bid to be governor of California in 1982. A late election poll had Bradley, an African-American, ahead, but he went on to lose the election. His supporters and others in the media blamed his loss on the so-called Bradley Effect: the supposed tendency of voters to tell pollsters they are voting for a minority when, in fact, they refuse to once they get in the voting booth. The Bradley Effect has been widely discredited (see here and here). But that hasn?t stopped Obama partisans in the media from assuring us that the only way Senator Obama can lose is through the Bradley Effect. In other words, the only thing that could explain an Obama loss is the fact that America is a society of closet racists. Our Choice Today Doesn?t Have Anything to Do With Race But I have another theory to describe the choice Americans face in this election — call it the Common Sense Effect. The choice we face today doesn?t have anything to do with race. It has to do with which candidate believes in wealth creation and which one believes in wealth redistribution. Which candidate believes in limited, effective government, and which candidate believes in unrestrained, liberal, big government. Which candidate believes that the hard work and ingenuity of incentivized Americans can solve our energy needs, and which candidate believes that government taxation, regulation and litigation is the way to go. It?s critical that this point be made now, before the results are in: If Senator Obama loses the election today, it won?t have anything to do with the so-called Bradley Effect. It will have everything to do with the Common Sense Effect. Senator Obama in His Own Words: ?If Someone Wants to Build a Coal Power Plant ?.It Will Bankrupt Them? But don?t take my word for it. Take Senator Obama?s word for it. Consider the choice that faces us today on the issue of America?s energy independence. And consider Senator Obama?s recently uncovered statements about how he would solve this problem. As my new book Drill Here, Drill Now, Pay Less and my new film, ?We Have the Power? (buy it here) point out, America is the Saudi Arabia of coal. We have vast, untapped coal resources, and clean coal technology will allow us to use those resources to stop sending hundreds of billions of dollars a year overseas to buy oil from countries that hate us. But listen to what Senator Obama told the San Francisco Chronicle in January about America?s coal industry: “If somebody wants to build a coal power plant they can, it’s just that it will bankrupt them because they are going to be charged a huge sum for all that greenhouse gas that’s being emitted.” Senator Obama in His Own Words: ?Under My Plan?Electricity Rates Would Necessarily Skyrocket? In the same interview, Senator Obama went on to say: ?Under my plan of a cap and trade system, electricity rates would necessarily skyrocket?even regardless of what I say about whether coal is good or bad, because I?m capping greenhouse gasses, coal power plants, natural gas?you name it?whatever the plants were, whatever the industry was, they would have to retro-fit their operations. That will cost money?they will pass that money on to the consumers. When Obama Arrogantly Talks About Bankrupting the Coal Industry, He?s Talking About Bankrupting Whole Communities Senator Obama?s idea of solving our energy problems seems to be to inflict pain upon American consumers — and to pronounce a death sentence on American producers of coal in states like Ohio, Pennsylvania and West Virginia. When Senator Obama off-handedly and arrogantly talks about bankrupting the coal industry, he?s talking about bankrupting entire communities; shutting down the industry that produces the jobs and the tax revenue that fund schools, hospitals and roads. These are Senator Obama?s own words, spoken 10 months ago to the mainstream media but only now being heard thanks to the work of independent bloggers. This is the choice we face today. We Don?t Know Which Candidate Will Win, But We Know the Mainstream Media Has Already Lost I began my message to you today noting that coverage of this election has been among the most dishonest and one-sided by the mainstream media in American history. We don?t yet know which candidate won the election, but we do know this: The mainstream media lost. The examples of bias and distortion that have occurred are too numerous to list here. Suffice to say that when a supposedly unbiased media organization polls its staffers, and the vote is 55 to 1, something is deeply wrong. When honest reporters are embarrassed to admit that they?re journalists, something is wrong. When the nonpartisan Project for Excellence in Journalism finds that negative articles about John McCain outweigh positive pieces by four-to-one, and positive pieces about Barack Obama outweigh negative pieces by two-to-one, something is deeply wrong. Going forward, center-right and conservative Americans will have to work even harder to reclaim the media and to create new ways to communicate with our fellow Americans that bypass the mainstream media. We?ve already had some significant successes, including this newsletter. I thank you for the ideas, energy and optimism you have shared with me through these messages for the past two and a half years. Regardless of who wins tonight, I?m sure you share my belief that we will honor our political process, respect our new leaders, and move forward with the cheerful persistence that Ronald Reagan taught us. But for now, grab a friend — grab a couple friends — and go out and vote. Your friend, P.S. If you?re still not convinced of the need to go out and vote, consider this: Amid reports of homeless people being able to list park benches as addresses in order to cast ballots, there are reports that many of our men and women serving overseas are having problems casting absentee ballots. Go to the polls today for those who fight but can?t vote. P.P.S. Last Friday I discussed my new book, Drill Here, Drill Now, Pay Less, at the American Enterprise Institute, where I detailed a three-pronged approach to creating a responsible energy policy. First we have to maximize our domestic supply of all energy sources. Then we need to adopt an ?across the board? strategy to encourage efficiency and innovation. Finally, we have to incentivize technological breakthroughs with prizes and tax credits. As Senator Obama?s comments on coal illustrate, current elites in Congress have an ideological imperative to increase the cost of energy. But only with a responsible, pro-growth model will we be able to weather the current financial storm and promote energy independence, all while decreasing the cost of energy for all Americans. We created a YouTube video addressing this critical difference, which you can watch here. And the full speech is also available at newt.org.

Dr James Cone’s Description of BLACK LIBERATION THEOLOGY, from his book “BLACK POWER AND BLACK THEOLOGY”, used as the basis for the vision statement of Obama’s Church, Trinity United: “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.” Among the Obama’s charitable donations in 2007 was the generous amount of $26,270 to Trinity United Church of Christ.

A Mason-Dixon survey in Ohio, the state that gave George W. Bush victory in 2004, recorded a surprise two-point advantage for the Republican. Mr McCain has just finished a two-day bus tour through the state, which the Republican has to win if he is to have a chance. He is scheduled to visit a staggering seven states today, holding a series of rallies mostly in airport hangers in a bid to hit local television news bulletins. The 72-year-old Vietnam War veteran showed on Sunday he was in no mood for quitting. “There are just two days left, two days,” he told a raucous crowd in Wallingford, Pennsylvania. “We are a couple of points behind in Pennsylvania. The pundits have written us off just like before, but, my friends, the Mac is back!”

John Hinderaker says that it would be interesting to know when Obama last set foot in the Senate. Since he has been running for President for pretty much his entire, brief time in Washington, one can ask whether he was ever really a Senator at all. Then there is this pathetic effort to defend his own lack of executive experience: “Well, my understanding is that Governor Palin�s town of Wasilla has, I think, 50 employees. We�ve got 2,500 in this campaign. I think their budget is maybe $12 million a year. You know, we have a budget of about three times that just for the month. So I think that our ability to manage large systems and to execute I think has been made clear over the last couple of years.” Apparently Obama hadn’t heard about Palin being Governor of the State of Alaska, which has a budget in excess of $11 billion annually and more than 24,000 employees. Also, on Obama’s theory, the act of running for President gives you the experience you need to qualify to be President. That’s convenient for a guy who has accomplished so little in his career in public life. If our intrepid reporters could focus on something other than Bristol Palin for a moment, maybe they would notice that Obama continues to make a fool of himself on a near-daily basis.

In January 2008 the National Journal published its rankings of all U.S. senators — based on how they had voted on a host of foreign and domestic policy bills — and rated Barack Obama “the most liberal Senator of 2007.” “Obama�s [foreign policy] liberal score of 92 and conservative score of 7 indicate that he was more liberal in that issue area than 92 percent of the senators and more conservative than 7 percent,” the researchers explained. In the area of domestic policy voting, the study found that “Obama voted the liberal position on 65 of the 66 key votes on which he voted � [and] garnered perfect liberal scores in both the economic and social categories.” The leftist organization Americans for Democratic Action (ADA) similarly rated Obama�s Senate voting record at 97.5 percent. By contrast, the American Conservative Union (the ADA�s ideological antithesis) gave Obama a rating of 8 percent. Around July 19, 2007 — after slightly more than five months had passed since he had declared his presidential candidacy — Obama clearly became far more focused on campaigning for his White House run, than on performing the legislative duties for which he had been elected to the U.S. Senate. From that date through May 22, 2008, Obama voted on just 34 percent of all the bills that came before the Senate. On the other 66 percent, he cast no vote of any kind, either for or against the legislation in question.

Obama respects the power of ‘capital’ and what it can do to lift our country out of the hole created by short sighted energy policies, poor Republican fiscal management, and expensive misdirected foreign policy. A $150 billion “Manhattan” energy project is precisely the kind of turbo-boost we need to secure our nation’s economic future, create new jobs, create new industries, and to end our dependence on foreign fossil fuels. This is a matter utmost importance for our national security and for the economic well being of our future generations. We cannot afford to fall further behind the curve. An Obama presidency will focus and channel our national efforts towards energy self-sufficiency for the long term. Entrepreneurship will flourish. Clean Coal + Oil + Gas + Wind + Solar + Biofuels + Nuclear + Tidal + Hydro + = foundation for our new economy.

By Failing Attempts To Make Perception Appear Reality

November 3, 2008 5:17 PM | Link to this

Barack Obama’s “handlers” started their campaign by making perceptions of reality, which in reality, were false and untrue, appear to be reality. That has occurred throughout the campaign, but it will fail tomorrow, when Senator McCain is elected our President. These strategies of lies and manipulation began with Hillary Clinton and the Iowa caucuses. Caucuses are unlike a singular voting forum. In a caucus, you are in the public, like a debate, among many many groups of people attempting to reach a collective census. To defeat Clinton. Obama’s handlers did a shell game. They imported his followers from other states, Illinois most notably and the midwest, where they went to the caucuses as if they were actually Obama supporters residing in Iowa. They actually did npt reside in Iowa, but the caucus attendees did not know that. He won by an act of deception and has been on a roll since. That’s the basis of his campaign—-deception. He creates a perception of a non reality trying to convince others it is reality. That’s why he did the stunt in Germany, and spoke to 200K people, just a stunt to create an illusion. When he has large crowds, they are his paid workers and his volunteers. They aren’t “real” supporters. The race is even, but he has already planned and said there will be 1M at a party in Illinois. His intent, as planned by the handlers, is to suppress voters, to create the false perception out of deception, why bother, its over. But guess what Ohioans? He has been revealed to be a fruad and his tactics laid open for all to see. The Wizard of Oz had the curtains pulled. In spite of the lies, deception to create a perception they hoped would become reality, it failed. We are too smart for that, an Obama loses tomorrow. I can’t wait to see the tears from the MSM and the millions of his paid workers crying at the Hyatt in Chicago tomorrow night. Take it from Texas Ohioans….they know when its all cowboy hat and no cattle every time. We get it, and he’s a phony. Tomorrow ends the run of the fictional movie from Hollywood, “Obama is Our President- The Change Agent.” Why did he fail? Because change and hope have no meaning, and we Americans recognize a con, don’t we!

Here is the 100% unedited comment you refer to: You know, I, I think that, ahh, you know, I — a lot of the stuff that has made me angry hasn’t directly come from the McCain campaign. I mean, I, I do think that there is a — there is a Republican or rightwing — media outlet— set of media outlets that went after my wife for a while in a way that I thought was just completely out of bounds. And — and I, you know, frankly I— you know, I would have never considered or expected my allies to do something comparable to the spouse of an opponent. … I just feel like family is — are civilians. And they don’t sign up for this stuff. They support their — their spouse. But generally, you know, they’re really — should be bystanders in this process, even if they’re campaigning for you. You know, they’re saying nice things about — about their — their, in this case, their husbands. I mean, that’s what you expect. And— and that doesn’t make them suddenly targets. The question he was responding directly to was “What about John McCain’s campaign has disappointed you the most?” And look at what he said!?!?!? NOT a uniter?!?!? He could NOT have gone farther out of his way to be gracious to the campaign and let them off the hook! What is your native language? Because in English - he couldn’t have been more clear. And for every “poor pitiful us” you want to shoot at the treatment of the McCain campaign, the Obama campaign can see you one and raise it. I mean, just read some of the filth and vitriol below.

In an interview with CBS anchor Katie Couric broadcast Monday on CBS News’ The Early Show, Obama said that what most displeased him about the nearly 2-year-long contest were attacks launched by Republicans against his wife, Michelle. “There’s a Republican or right wing media outlet … that went after my wife for awhile in a way that I thought was just completely out of bounds,” Obama told Couric. “I would have never considered or expected my allies to do something comparable to the spouse of an opponent,” he added. “They support their spouse, but generally they really should be bystanders in this process, even if they’re campaigning for me. … I mean that’s what you’d expect. And that doesn’t make them suddenly targets.” This statement by Obama says it all. The man is not a uniter. You believe him or you will feel his rath. Cindy McCain was viciously attacked by his allies. Sarah Palin and her kids and her spouse were viciously attacked by his allies and so was Joe the Plumber. Left wing radio talk show host even threatened Joe the Plumber. Obama says nothing he does nothing and says nothing. He permits this treatment of others that do not think like him. Now you know what his Civilian National Security Force is about.

Leslie - see there, that’s not so hard! Thanks for putting the whole quote in proper context. Now you know what his “civilian national securoy force” is. He’s not creating anything new - he’s asking the Peace Corps to double in size and AmeriCorps for 75,000 new positions. Further, within the context of the full quote - Senator Obama’s belief is that our national security interest can equally be served by building schools Uganda, maintaining hospitals in Kosovo, or establishing power service in Costa Rica. But we need at least as many people doing that as we are currently using to try (rather unsuccessfully - through no fault of their own) to pacify Iraq. The reasoning here, as has been offered in those speeches you mention, is that the world can be equally swayed by the might of our example, and not simply the example of our might. You can look that up, too - if you want.

When Obama speaks change, I feel all warm and fuzzy inside. Change. I get a tingly feeling running up my leg. Change. I will be happy to get money he takes from rich people and gives to me. Change. Never mind we won�t drill for oil. Change. When I can�t afford gas, I will ride my bike. Change. When we can�t build nukes, I will use candles. Change. Everyone in the world will be our friend. Change. We will welcome everyone into our country. Change All will be well. Change. We shall serve Obama. Change He will be eager to accept our service. Change. Soon we will become completely dependent upon him and the government. Change. I will have no more wants or needs.change. And we shall serve him, and we will be happy … and controlled. Change.

I see you all have not lost your fight : GOOD! Because we have a lot to do. You! (the American people) are going to have to take back control of your elected government at every level, and set your government back on the right path of service to you, and the greater good of the World. Barack Obama and the democrats are your best hope of doing that now. Tell your family, friends, and everyone you know to support them as best they can. Because the Bush McCain vote fraud, vote cheating, vote buying, vote manipulation machine is already hard at work to cheat you again. And we all know what a disaster that has been the past 8 years of Bush McCain. Barack Obama and the democrats will need all the power you can give them at every level of government (Federal, State, County, and local City elected governments). Obama and the democrats will have an enormous mess to fix for the American people, and the rest of the World. A mess caused by the corrupt Bush McCain administration. You see, starting back in 2000, and before 911, it was mostly the Republican governors, Republican legislatures, and county elected Republican officials that conspired with the corrupt Bush McCain administration to raise college, and university tuitions by the fastest, and highest rate increases in American history. Some state tuitions went up by as much as a WHOPPING! 30% in one year. The reason the Bush McCain administration did this was to force struggling working class kids into the military to pay for the sudden jump in tuition. Which was forced on them by the corrupt Bush McCain administration, and their corrupt Republican Governors, and republican controlled state legislatures. See, Bush McCain had plans to get us into all these immoral, foolish, criminal, and unnecessary wars from the start. So they could use these wars to seize power, and later to get reelected. But, for their evil plan to work they needed more volunteer soldiers struggling to pay for an education whose blood they could spill to help them seize more power. Remember Bush McCain’s “MISSION ACCOMPLISHED!” theatrics. The exploitation, and lost lives of these finest Americans is despicable, disgusting, immoral, corrupt and criminal. And it makes me SICK, and ANGRY! You will have to vote for Obama, and the democrats in overwhelming numbers to overcome the Bush McCain vote fraud machine. Vote early if you can. Then help your fellow Americans cast their votes on through election day. Vote for Obama, and the democrats like your life, and the lives of your loved ones depends on it. Because it does. You will not survive 4 more years of “Let Them Eat Cake” Bush McCain, and their republican allies. Just look at the mess we have now. You can fix this mess with your votes for Obama, and the democrats. But you must continue to surge forward for Barack Obama, and the democrats, and for your-selves most of all. The children, and the World are counting on us. It’s in your hands now. And I know you will get it done. God bless all of you. JACK SMITH - WORKING CLASS… :-)

Obama promised to increase AmeriCorps slots from 75,000 to 250,000 and pledged to double the size of the Peace Corps by 2011. “We cannot continue to rely only on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives that we’ve set,” he said Wednesday. “We’ve got to have a civilian national security force that’s just as powerful, just as strong, just as well funded.” He said he would make federal assistance conditional on school districts establishing service programs and set the goal of 50 hours of service a year for middle and high school students. For college students, Obama would set the goal at 100 hours of service a year and create a $4,000 annual tax credit for college students that would be tied to that level of service. He said it in a speech in Iowa last December and he said it in Colorado this July. It was in the Chicago Tribune.

Gdub - and by the way, based strictly upon syntax, grammar, and condescension - I have no reason to believe this is actually not the sitting POTUS - thanks for taking time out from cookie break with the rest of the constitution ignoring gang to play our game. If being a junior Senator from Illinois automatically disqualifies a candidate as capable, then I imagine you would have hated Abraham Lincoln, who was also from Illinois but had even less political experience. And with all due respect to your goofiness - if he has no experience in foreign policy, why is Dubya’s former Secretary of State - Colin Powell, endorsing him? If he’s such an economics ignoramus, why would Warren Buffet endorse him? I think I’ll take their commendation over yours. Pakistan - you mean Osama Bin Laden’s last known address? You mean that place where even Gen Patreus says we may have no choice but to put boots on the ground in Balochistan and tribal areas since our “allies” aren’t doing jack? Dude - not only did we not sleep through high school, LOTS of us went to a magical place called college and learned a few ins and out of geopolitical reality. Heck, some of us have even BEEN to the places you talk about and list as being particular problems. But one bit of goofiness stands out more than the rest. We “won” the communist “war” - whatever that was. Not sure the kids in North Korea, China, and Cuba would agree with you - but it’s beside your wrong point. I assume you refer to the collapse of the Soviet Union. It wasn’t our spending and magical “tech” that did it. It was simple math - the Soviets had about one ethnic Russian to stick behind a rifle and try to hold about 200 Ukranians, Turks, Georgians, Latvians, Estonian, etc. hostage. They couldn’t cover the field in Central Asia - forget North America. Dude - right now we have a military budget 78 times Iran’s - and Obama has never advocated cutting off Israel. Iran is about as much of a threat to you and me right now as Romania was in 1965. Now you be a good little poster and go make some more stupid stuff up.

Being president is about more than inspiring Americans. It’s about leadership. The choice between McCain and Obama comes down to one of experience. Where Obama is sound over substance, McCain is confident based on experience and a broad understanding of leadership. In short, he’s been tested. Obama has not. We need a President with experience. We need a President that we know can protect our country, not one that we hope will be able to.

Our country has been bad. Very very bad. We have murdered babies and call it abortion. We want something for nothing. We don’t want to work, we want free handouts. We want to rationalize that we aren’t racist by voting for a black man even though we really don’t know who he is. We have closed our eyes and ignored the signs that he may not be who he says he is. God has allowed us to be deceived by this man because we would not look at the truth. We have allowed our own personal greed to become bigger than our love for our country. We have taken this country for granted. We have decided God has no place in our lives. This is why we can’t see—we have been blinded. We are under Obama’s spell.

Ethel - I’d be a little more careful about praising Leslie’s “careful research”. So far she hasn’t presented anything I suspect she didn’t get from Joe Farah at worldnetdaily. The telltale factoid was the nonstory “story” about Obama’s “plan” for a secret civilian national security force. There is no such thing and Mr. Farah knows it. Basically, what happened there was Joe couldn’t be bothered to listen to the entire comment in context and has subsequently been unable to determine why nobody else in the media will listen to him scream “the sky is falling”. But hey, it keeps people visiting his website. Little more info about Joe -he coauthors books with Rush Limbaugh, which is not to suggest anything other than anybody would have a valid claim to question his “unbiased” credential. Also, the only time the guy (Farah) was tapped to run a print newspaper, the Scaramento Union, he ran their subscription base down 30% in 15 months till the paper went bankrupt. He also as recently as 2004 had a fairly low opinion of your candidate, Senator McCain. He basically blasted him for being a bad soldier and questioned his patriotism. While I agree there are LOTS of issue with Senator McCain, one is most certainly not the man’s love for or service to his country.

Now some of you morons want to be led by a junior senator with no understanding of foreign policy or economics, and this nitwit says we should attack Pakistan, a nuclear ally. And then he wants to go to Iran and make peace with a terrorist who says he�s going to destroy us. While he�s doing that, he wants to give Iraq to al Qaeda, Afghanistan to the Taliban, Israel to the Palestinians, and your money to the IRS so the government can give welfare to illegal aliens, who he will make into citizens, so they can vote to re-elect him. He also thinks its okay for Iran to have nuclear weapons, and we should stop our foreign aid to Israel Did you sleep through high school? You idiots need to understand that we face a unique enemy. Back during the cold war, there were two major competing political and economic models squaring off. We won that war, but we did so because fundamentally, the Communists wanted to survive, just as we do. We were simply able to outspend and out-tech them. That�s not the case this time. The soldiers of our new enemy don�t care if they survive. In fact, they want to die. That�d be fine, as long as they weren�t also committed to taking as many of you with them as they can.

Obama Fan - you are wrong so as you requested I will correct you. McCain voted against same sex marriages. They can do what they want as far as I’m concerned to, but marriage is a unity between a MAN and a WOMAN. There are so few abortions as a result of incest and rape, it is hardly a point. Each individual case should be dealt with between a woman and her doctor, not a slaughter house that rips innocent babies limb by limb and leaves them to die in the trash can. Get REAL! Because abortion is real. I delivered a baby at 26 weeks that is a 14 years old now. Don’t tell me they can’t survive outside the womb.

Hey “Christians for McCain” I have a question for you. McCain is an adulterer and I believe- correct me if I am wrong but McCain’s stance on gay marriage is that it is wrong but what you do in your own time is your own business. And he believes abortion is okay in the event of rape or incest. How do you rationalize that MCCain is a Christian and Obama is not. Leslie- McCain voted for the bailout that was full of pork. Do you even have a clue about earmarks? Some of those earmarks he is cutting pay for research to be done on ways to keep our troops safe. Not all earmarks are used for the mating habits of crabs.

State governments nationwide are having budget problems including the state of California who has a republican as governor. So if you don’t like the way Washington is treating you as a tax-payer write to your senator or congressman to demand change in Washington. I also saw an ad stating that when the female workers for Wal-Mart wanted equal pay, John McCain voted with corporate lobbyists and it wasn’t by Obama’s campaign. The ad was paid for by one of labor unions. I have one question for you isn’t our government for the people by the people.

Idiotsfor - oh my lord, the Bush/Rove filth just will not die! Listen, I can’t believe I’m doing this but - I’m sticking up for McCain on this one. I am assuming the source of your allegations is from the 2000 South Carolina presidential primary, where the Bush/Rove team decided to smear Senator McCain with the tripe you quoted (his wife is a drug addict) - which is a lie and you know it is. Other lies against Senator McCain were he fathered a black child out of wedlock (not true, he had adopted a Bangladeshi orphan), that he was closet homosexual (which think about it for a minute, how could he be gay and father all those kids?), and (the worst one) that he was a secret commie who had been brainwashed in his ‘Nam captivity and was at least mentally unstable and at worst would deliver the country to our enemies. Listen, my disgreements with Senator McCain are purely policy based. When it comes to his plans for the Presidency, he has either poor plans or incomplete and ineffectual plans. But, Senator McCain has been a good and decent public servant. Don’t smear him with lies. And by the way - for McCain supporters who might be gloating about now - those of you who have been lying with equal frequency and tenor about Senator Obama (He’s not a citizen - He’s a muslim - He’s a terrorist). You might consider what your candidate, John McCain had to say about people who lie about and smear candidates to try and scare voters - he said about those liars in Feb. 2000 “I believe there is an especially dark corner in hell reserved for such people”. I hope he’s right.

McCain’s run for Presidency is strictly an ego thing. He needs this to validate is life/career. He is use to getting through life based on his status. He picked Palin for his VP so he could be the headliner. He could have picked a Mitt Romney or Mike Huckabee, Rudy Gulliani but he didn’t because those guys had asperations of being President. So he picked Palin who wasn’t a threat to his ego and he can spoon feed her everything he wants her to say.

It saddens me to learn that all this time that I�ve been fighting for equality and race issues that it has been in vain. It hurts me to learn that all this time that I thought color wasn�t an issue that deep down it really was. These are the same things that were fought against in the 60�s. I was taught and believed that a man should be chosen for his beliefs and that his skin color was NOT an issue. This is what I�ve taught my children! I�m very glad to know that my savior Jesus Christ doesn�t see color at all in any situation. Galatians 3:28 There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free man, there is neither male nor female; for you are all one in Christ Jesus. My bible tells us that homosexuality is wrong”Do not lie with a man as one lies with a woman; that is detestable. (Lev 18:22)Do you not know that the wicked will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor male prostitutes nor homosexual offenders nor thieves nor the greedy nor drunkards nor slanderers nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God. (1 Cor 6:9-10) It is wrong and that the murder of innocent babies through abortion is wrong. Genesis 9:6 (NIV) 6 �Whoever sheds the blood of man, by man shall his blood be shed; for in the image of God has God made man. Voting for any man of any color because of the color of his skin is as wrong today as it was in the 50�s and 60�s. My savior Jesus Christ died on a cross 2000 years ago. So I will be voting as a Christian today. I�ll be voting for McCain.

McCain is a liar, adulterer and his wife is a drug addict husband stealer. This man doesn’t know whether the economy is sound or if we are in a crisis. When he “suspended his campaign,” to help get the rescue bill passed all he did was fowl everything up. But as long as dem der gays and baby killerz don’t get elected we rednecks will be gud. Never mind I can’t pay my mortgage on my trailer, feed my hillbilly children, make 7.00 an hour and have no education, them queers and baby killers must be to blame. Hicks are all the same!

Disgusted - “the obamamaniacs have nothing else to offer”. Au contraire, mon frere - which specific policy initiative would you care to discuss?

CHANGE? So this change that Obama wants to bring is to take our money way and give it to people who don’t want to work? Is America insane? The only CHANGE you are going to see is the loss of your job. WAKE UP AMERICA! VOTE McCain/Palin!

Lesile, you aren’t hitting a nerve in me and whatever you say about Obama will NOT change my mind about him. What is McCain going to different from the Bush administration? You really must be afraid of change by giving your opinion about Obama. My family has the same opportunities that Obama has. My parents went to college, my sisters also went to college, and my brother-in-law has a college degree and is self-employed. I have been following Obama ever since he announced his candidacy for president. You just want to believe what you hear about Obama. My three oldest nephews are college educated and my oldest niece is attending college right now. Everytime I come in here, you always have a negative opinion about Obama. I am not brain-washed or hypnotized by the Obama campaign. I recently spoke with a registered voter last night on the phone who informed me that we, as a nation, need a change in our government and Obama can bring that change. I also don’t have blinders on. I also don’t need an Obama administration to take care of me financially. I have seen where this country has gone in the last eight years under Bush administration and it has been downhill. An recent tv ad, shows an unemployed woman saying that John McCain has voted with the Bush administration to ship our jobs overseas. John McCain wants to put social security in the private sector and tax our health insurance. John McCain recent called college students a “special interest group”. Barack Obama wants give tax cuts to all americans whether they make $200,000 or $250,000, he wants to make health insurance more afforable, he also wants to find new renewable energy sources to reduce our dependence on foreign oil and he also wants to make college education more afforable to the children of America. Obama doesn’t want to overturn Roe vs Wade unlike McCain who wants to overturn Roe vs Wade. I watched the three presidential debates and I didn’t hear one thing that McCain will do differently then Bush. You can believe what you want to believe about Obama but it doesn’t change my mind. We will see tomorrow night if the rest of country has the same opinion about Obama that you have.

The job losses in Ohio and the high cost of living in Ohio is due to Ohio government! What is the majority of government in Ohio? Democrat. We already have good entitlement programs. Did you know that low income people with kids already get free healthcare? Did you know that they already get food stamps and have enough to feed their family? Did you know they already get their rent paid and the heating bill paid? The problem is not that we need more entitlement programs, the problem is we need to reform them so that they are there to help people in times of need, not to support them. Giving them a $1,000 or more check a year is not going to do that. It’s not going to make them say now I have what the Jones have. Now I have as much as Obama. They need to work for that. NYC we do not have a draft. Every soldier overseas is fighting because they want to because they believe in what they are doing. What do you mean, “The America most of us grew up in is gone.” It’s still here and the best country in the world. If you want to keep this great country America land of the free and opportunity then you need to vote for McCain. His 22-year Senate record shows John McCain to be a consistent advocate of smaller government, which also translates into more freedom. He and legions of other realists know that unless and until the federal appetite is reined in, it will weigh down the economy � making solutions to challenges such as affordable health care, energy independence and broader education opportunities far less likely. Of all 100 members of the U.S. Senate, John McCain has resisted the siren call of cash from lobbyists, of legal but stinky dealmaking. Obama would enlarge government for one reason: He sees a greater government presence in each of our lives as helpful. He is sincere in that belief, but he is wrong. Government can’t do more to solve problems until it cleans up its fiscal mess � and Obama has no plan to do that.
