To the Masses:

How can a bi-racial man who came from a caucasion womb be racist? You are an idiot!! Get off the Wright thing cuz McLame and Palin as shown by their rallies are the true racist ones. We don''t have black men trying to kill McCain. We don''t have hate words being shouted at our rallies. So you have a nerve. I''m sure if the Obama/Biden campaign wanted to do so, they could surely find some very shady associates of McCain and Palin but that isn''t what''s important to the American people.

Here is the bottom line, we as Americans are really up a creek with whichever person gets in office. But I would rather go with a person that is more experienced with the world and the issues than one which is brand new.
I fly a lot and not sure about all of you but when my life is in someone else%u2019s hands I want an EXPERIENCED pilot flying that plane rather than someone new and just learning his way around the cockpit.
Obama MAY yes MAY be right SOMEDAY, but sorry I am not ready for that day to be now and to have a President that needs on the job training.

To those of you who type in all caps:
(1) the best that can be said of this is that to the rest of us you look like you''''re yelling. It''''s been a bad Internet habit for over 15 years. So just stop it.
(2) And if you''''re not yelling, it makes you look...crazy. Do you really want us to think you''''re crazy?

HONESTLY,
I COULD CARE LESS, TRUTH IS THAT MOST OF THE POSTS THAT COME FROM MYSELF, ARE TO BE TAKEN AS A YELL.
SOME OF US ARE SO LOST, THAT IF WE WERE HAVING THIS CONVO IN PERSON I WOULD BE YELLING.. WITH 100 POSTS COMING IN EVERY MIN. THE REAL FACT IS THAT MOST OF THE POSTS AREN''T EVEN READ BY THE "MAJORITY".

THANK YOU!

I guess you forgot all about the Patriot Act and the illegal wire taps that have been carried out by our gov''t since 9/11 or the growing terrorist watch list. How about citizens being snatched up and thrown in Guantanamo w/o habeas corpus because they were deemed "enemy combatants"?

Barack Obama may have been 8 years old when Ayers had his heyday but he sure wasn''t 8 years old when he donated that money to Ayers and ACORN.

Our Nation is being manipulated by greed.

Ecclesiastes 5:10
Whoever loves money never has money enough; whoever loves wealth is never satisfied with his income. This too is meaningless.

Love of Money
If anyone teaches false doctrines and does not agree to the sound instruction of our Lord Jesus Christ and to godly teaching, he is conceited and understands nothing. He has an unhealthy interest in controversies and quarrels about words that result in envy, strife, malicious talk, evil suspicions and constant friction between men of corrupt mind, who have been robbed of the truth and who think that godliness is a means to financial gain.

But godliness with contentment is great gain. For we brought nothing into the world, and we can take nothing out of it. But if we have food and clothing, we will be content with that. People who want to get rich fall into temptation and a trap and into many foolish and harmful desires that plunge men into ruin and destruction. For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil. Some people, eager for money, have wandered from the faith and pierced themselves with many griefs.

1 Timothy 6:3-10

Has anyone noticed that few if any of the asinine comments and misstatements Joe Biden has made over the past 2 months have been printed or even acknowledged by the pro-Obama press? Amazing what $600 million in campaign dollars can buy.

It can''t buy wisdom and experience though.

What a RELIEF it was to get out from under their propaganda and take a look at the REAL WORLD!

Claiming that Bush started a war in Iraq to lure terrorists from the mountainous regions of Afghanistan to the desert is the real world? You are truly delusional!! Our own intelligence estimates show that while we wiled away the years in Iraq, the taliban has almost fully reconstituted itself in Afghanistan. Karzai''s hold on power is tenuous at best and our own field commanders are saying we are in danger of losing there. Reality indeed...

Mr. Obama ran a very successful presidential campaign against George W. Bush because he knew he was no match for John McCain. Youth and charisma are no match for wisdom and experience.

Barack Obama is a socialist reformer masquerading as a liberal democrat. He is not the change we need.
