as a conservative democrat, i voted for the vietnam vet, pow john McCain. i have no use for obama, or his communist ways, or the merry band of homos, lesbos, commies, crossdressers, and abortionists who love him.
on another note, i just heard the new US dollar coin does not have "in god we trust" on it. if this is true, i would advise not using it.

I just love your post and how it shows christians as judgemental, who are so caught up in others sins they can''t see how there behavior that is vode of compassion or love is so un-chrislike

[talaan77]

Posted by NEEDERBAUR unless you are mixed and understand the inner conflicts it creates don''t judge and how about you talk about your candidate and what makes him so great instead of trying to tear down Obama

[talaan77]

Posted by NEEDERBAUR I think you should post or people should read the surrounding chapters of your qoutes and put them in context, but I am sure you won''t do that it wold defeat your purpose

HIS OBLIGATION TO KARL MARX IS OBVIOUS.From Dreams of My Father: "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 ingratiating myself to whites."

From Dreams of My Father: "I found a solace in nursing a pervasive sense of grievance and animosity against my mother''s race."

From Dreams of My Father: "There was something about him that made me wary, a little too sure of himself, maybe. And white."

From Dreams of My Father: ; "It remained necessary to prove which side you were on, to show your loyalty to the black masses, to strike out and name names."

From Dreams of My Father: "I never emulate white men and brown men whose fates didn''t speak to my own. It was into my father''s image, the black man, son of Africa, that I''d packed all the attributes I sought in myself, the attributes of Martin and Malcolm, Dubois and Mandela."

From Audacity of Hope: "I will stand with the Muslims should the political winds shift in an ugly direction."

McCAIN- NOT READY TO LEAD- LITERALLY!!!!

As the 2008 campaign nears its conclusion, the presidential transition efforts of the two major candidates have become a study in contrasts: Sen. Barack Obama has organized an elaborate well-staffed network to prepare for his possible ascension to the White House, while Sen. John McCain has all but put off such work until after the election.

The Democratic nominee has enlisted the assistance of dozens of individuals -- divided into working groups for particular federal agencies -- to produce policy agendas and lists of recommended appointees. As evidence of their advanced preparations, officials provided a copy of the strict ethics guidelines that individuals working on the transition effort are required to sign.

John McCain, by contrast, has done little. Campaign spokespersons did not respond to requests for elaboration. But one official with direct knowledge, who spoke on the condition of anonymity, expressed concern with McCain''s approach. The Arizona Senator has instructed his team to not spend time on the transition effort, according to the source.

------------

McCain DID, however, appoint William Timmons to HEAD HIS PRESIDENTIAL TRANSITION TEAM.

Timmons aided a lobbying effort on BEHALF of IRAQI DICTATOR SADDAM HUSSEIN to arrange a deal to sell Iraqi oil. Timmons would have shared at least $45 MILLION if the deal went through. At the time Washington declared Iraq a ROGUE ENEMY STATE and a sponsor of TERRORISM.

The one thing that traditional GOP supporters can look forward to after their massive losses coming this November:

The removal of the Karl Rove and Fanatic Far Right influence on the GOP.

It''s sad that the once-great Republican Party has become so beholden to the fanatics, slime merchants, and radical theological right. It seems that these people will accept anything the Republicans do to the Constitution and Bill of Rights so long as they toe the Fundamentalist Right line.

Republican politics has devolved to a bunch of gorillas thumping their chests to see who gets to become alpha-gorilla. Reagan and Goldwater on a bad day were 10 times better than any of these dangerous fools.

Barry Goldwater: "The Republicans are selling their soul to win elections. Mark my word, if and when these preachers get control of the party, and they are sure trying to do so, it''s going to be a terrible d*mn problem". "Frankly, these people frighten me. Politics and governing demand compromise. The government won''t work without it. But these Christians believe they are acting in the name of God, so they can''t and won''t compromise. I know. I''ve tried to deal with them." "Public business - that''s all politics is- is often making the best of a mixed bargain. (The new social conservatives practice) the politics of absolute moral right and wrong. And, of course, they are convinced of their absolute rightness."


Party of Lincoln? Hardly.

McCain = World War III

He will get all fidgety and erratic when something happens in the world, and will make another "Sarah Palin" type decision that will start a nuclear war or drag us into another "100 year war" that he so desperately seems to want.

McCain thinks that crashing 5 fighter planes and getting captured is "experience"(my father saw 10 times more action than this clown and never got shot down). McCain is definitely "experience" we can "live" without.

CASTRO AND KIM JUNG ILL WILL BE PLEASED

Posted by NEEDERBAUR at 11:04 PM : Nov 03, 2008

You are very confused and ill-informed. Obama''s values and ideals could not possibly be farther from those of Castro and Kim Jung Ill.

[libra127]

why does he feel that a woman''s right supercedes the life of a child.

Posted by virg12365 at 09:09 PM : Nov 03, 2008

As you say, we are a nation of laws, and a woman''s right to choose whether to bring a pregnancy to term is the law of the land. It is based on a Constitutional right to privacy, to be free of government interference in a decision that is rightly made only by the woman in question in consultation with her doctor.

The law does not require YOU to have an abortion; it merely requires that you not impose your priorities on another human being.

And, by the way, your statement that Obama took money from a convicted felon to pay for his house is simply not true. A Republican fabrication.

It is sad when we live in a country where animals are treated better the people. There are more animal shelters then there are homeless shelters, people shell out thousands of dollars a year to help animals, but don''t want to pay a little more in taxes to help people who need it, and I realize that animals don''t have a voice or a lot of choices, but sometime neither do homeless people. There are some who would like to have a job and a home, but wait they lost there jobs that were shipped over seas and there homes are being foreclosed on because there not many jobs out there right now. I have never understood why if you make more money you pay less taxes? Call me crazy, but shouldn''t you pay more if you make more?
And why should I not have the choice to do with my body as I please no matter what the choice? Why would I or should have to bring a child into this world, just to have to ask you the help of people who would rather save a dog from being homeless the a person. For the first time in my life I can honestly say to my son and daughter that if you want to you can be President, if you work hard and live a good life. I owe that to Barack Obama and also Mrs.Clinton

STOP THE HATE.....VOTE FOR REAL CHANGE....LET US BRING RESPECT BACK TO THE USA. OBAMA ''08

After tomorrow all of these Rethuglican Troglodytes can crawl back into their caves. I''m hoping for mass suicides ! Sewercide is more like it.

Seriously, why doesn''t some moderator shut people like ''CBSisPravda'' the hell up? I support tolerating different opinions, even nasty ones, but when someone flat out LIES they need to unplug their freakin'' keyboards.

If Obama''s going to bankrupt coal, SO WILL MCCAIN. John McCain favors a cap-and-trade program almost exactly like Obama''s, which would have the EXACT same impact on conventional coal plants. No matter who wins, the coal industry is going to be in trouble. Maybe after the election we can all stop pretending otherwise.

Shame on you GOP pawns for your slothful, deliberate ignorance and ruthless tactics. It will be such a relief to finally put you all in your place tomorrow night.

I thought it was interesting and surprising that Katie interrupted him just as he was about to address the overreaching of powers by Bush. Seeing we have had an illegal dictatorship run by criminals and republican rule for the past 8 years, isn''t it time for a change to balance thing a little?

John McCain
"I will continue to support H-1B visas, but, I%u2019m telling you, the American peoples priority is, either rightly or wrongly, and we live in a democracy, is that we secure the borders first."

Barack Obama
"We can do better than that and go a long way toward meeting industry%u2019s need for skilled workers with Americans. Until we have achieved that, I will support a temporary increase in the H-1B visa program as a stopgap measure until we can reform our immigration system comprehensively."


With all the job losses nowadays, America doesn''t have enough skilled laborers at this point? Read Obama''s words; he''s being wishy-washy. And insulting. Ironically, for those who have lambasted him, McCain has the upper hand on this issue as he''s been flat out to the point.

For months now I have been reading the political comments posted by readers online and I have noticed that the extreme conservative Republicans are especially hateful, and most of them fill their comments with Rush Limbaugh sound bites. Rush Limbaugh has had way too much "freedom of speech" during these last 8 years, encouraged and allowed to do so by the Republican administration. Limbaugh has poisoned a large bloc of Republican citizens, keeping them trapped in an attitude 25 years out of date. He stokes their fears and amplifies their worst characteristics, driving them to see an enemy in everything out of the conservative box. This prevents these people from accepting the changes and advances of 21st century America, isolating them and making it harder and harder for them to live productive and happy lives. It is my hope that the Obama administration will rein in the poison conservative talk show faction, and the people who follow it and live by it can be healed of their unwarranted hate and bigotry.

To these people I say: there is no reason to be so hateful and fearful! Rush has it all wrong! This is a great country, full of good people, patriots all, and great possibilites for a happy and prosperous life. That neighbor whose views differ from yours is not a terrorist or a socialist or a communist, he''s just the fellow American next door. Learn to feel love and hope and generousity. Stop fearing and hating. God bless America!
