- I like the idea of campaigning together. I actually think these are two good men. I strongly support Obama on policies and definately don''t want McCain picking up to 3 new supreme court justices. That said, let the campaign begin!

- McCain IS NOT for the "everyday-working-stiff". He''''s said he will work to overturn Roe v. Wade. McCain has admitted he doesn''''t know a lot about the economy. WOW! What has he gotten accomplished in the Senate? What about the Keating Five case?

- PREDICTION:
NOTHING WILL SAVE HUSSEIN OBAMA AND HIS ANTI-AMERICA CO-CONSPIRATORS FROM BEING EXPOSED FOR THEIR EVIL, SECRET AGENDA
The Hussein Obama - IslamoFascist conspiracy to destroy America from within MUST BE EXPOSED AND DRIVEN HOME TO ALL AMERICAN VOTERS!
If anything or any situation poses a threat to national security, such matter(s) are to be considered with grave concern, and MUST BE ADDRESSED IMMEDIATELY.
A great deal more information regarding this TREASONOUS DECEPTION that has had some degree of success especially among naive, overly-hopeful, overly-credulous, idealistic, younger voters, is expected to be publicly aired shortly.
It is requested that each of us furnish as much related information as we can, in order that such information be available to facilitate coordination of prosecutorial efforts by appropriate Federal Law Enforcement.
At the VERY LEAST, Hussein Obama and his heavily anti-America influences, his mentors and his supporters, MUST BE PREVENTED FROM SUPPLANTING OUR BEST AMERICAN INTERESTS AND OUR GOVERNMENT...
...WITH THEIR OWN, SELF-SERVING, DESTROY - AMERICA POWER GRAB! - Reply to this comment
- GO AT HIM BARACK! Barack Obama is what this country needs right now! McCain IS NOT for the "everyday-working-stiff". He''s said he will work to overturn Roe v. Wade. McCain has admitted he doesn''t know a lot about the economy. WOW! What has he gotten accomplished in the Senate? What about the Keating Five case? Senate Ethics Committee said McCain used "poor judgement" for allegedly pressing regulators to go easy on the owner of a failed Arizona savings and loan, who was also a campaign contributor. As Barack says,"same ole Washington-style politics". He''s also known as a "hothead"! I guess that''s why he has said he will not meet to try and negotiate concerning the war. Being a "hot head" I guess he doesn''t have negotiating skills. Barack''s calm demeanor has been exceptional, dealing with his campaign woes! That''s the type of person I want negotiating for my family! You Hell-ery supporters think you''re "getting back" at Barack by voting for McCain, you''re only hurting yourselves and your families. It shows how petty you are, just like your leader! Barack beat the Clinton Machine at their own game! He said months ago he''d go along with "whatever the party decides" in reference to FL and MI. The DNC is what''s holding that up, NOT BARACK! Barack has said the first three things he will adress in January are (1)The War(2) The Economy (3)The Energy Crisis
People I know, black and white, are going to try and give him that opportunity. - Reply to this comment

And here is a demonstration of why most Americans despise Hussein.
Firstly, closing the income gap is straight out of the communist manifesto..plain and simple. I''ve never met a single American in my life that would rather live by that communist ***. Maybe it''s because I don''t hang around in the local lib-commie union pubs. Meh.
Secondly, how does Hussein plan on doing this? By raising taxes? Because he plans to raise taxes BIG TIME! - Reply to this comment

The right''s peculiar notion of proportionality lies in one of those intellectual sand traps that one can whack away at for years and yet never come close to dislodging its smug, half-buried target. The notion just sits there, grinning back, confident that logical blows will do it no harm or budge it one bit. It''s one of the more stubborn obscenities known to man.
While, for instance, right-wing scribblers were succumbing to the vapors because of one over-the-top preacher''s exercising of all three guarantees of the First Amendment, we were "celebrating" the fifth anniversary of an illegal, anti-constitutional, wholly un-American foreign war. This, however, merited no similar reactionary dread.
The dis-proportionality was stunningly obscene, as were its objects of timid affection.

You want obscene? Our -- their -- president offered that yesterday in spades when he insisted once again that "removing Saddam Hussein from power was the right decision," without noting once again its dreadfully wrongful costs in human and fiscal treasure.
Obscene? How about the vice president''s considered response to ABC News'' observation that two-thirds of his citizenry believe the war was never worth waging: "So?"
Obscene? How about about John McCain''s latest Baghdad-Boblike pronouncement that we''re on the jolly good "precipice of winning a major victory against radical Islamic extremism." Why, to hear you folks whine, one would think this marvelous little war against an amorphous ideology and its centuries-old tactics is dragging on with no end in sight.
Obscene? Pshaw. That -- wretched unAmericanism, presidential recalcitrance, vice-presidential debauchery and would-be presidential imbecility -- is but the stuff of negligible nothings.

- Closing Income Gap Tops Obama%u2019s Agenda for Economic Change
By DAVID LEONHARDT
WICHITA, Kan. %u2014 Senator Barack Obama says the top priority of the next president should be to create a more lasting and equitable prosperity than achieved by either President Bush in the current decade or even Bill Clinton in the 1990s.
In an hourlong interview outlining his economic views, Mr. Obama praised the Clinton administration for reducing the deficit and setting the stage for the %u201990s boom. But he said Mr. Clinton had failed to halt a long-term increase in income inequality that had left the middle class feeling squeezed.
If elected, Mr. Obama said he would to try to forge a popular mandate for policy changes that could reverse a generation of slow wage growth and outlast any one administration. At the top of his list would be shifting the tax burden more toward the wealthy and making investments %u2014 in health care, alternative-energy research and education %u2014 that would cost a significant amount of money but could ultimately lift economic growth.
%u201CThe project of the next president is figuring out how do you create bottom-up economic growth, as opposed to the trickle-down economic growth that George Bush has been so enamored with,%u201D Mr. Obama, an Illinois Democrat, said. - Reply to this comment

Rich/Poor Income Gap Widening To Chasm
May 3, 2008(CBS) There have always been "haves" and "have-nots" in the United States, but over the past three decades, the gap between them has gotten a lot wider, statistics from congressional numbers crunchers show.
According to the non-partisan Congressional Budget Office, income for the bottom half of American households rose six percent since 1979 but, through 2005, the income of the top one percent skyrocketed - by 228 percent.
And, correspondent Benno Schmidt reported in The Early Show''s "Early Wake-Up Call" Saturday, the impact of the growing disparity on the "have-nots," and even on small businesspeople, is being felt more and more.
Schmidt visited Adam Rames who, after 35 years, is saying goodbye to the only way of life he''s known - his formerly thriving meatpacking business in New York City.
"I used to feed a lot of families," Rames told Schmidt. "I feel like I took care of the entire East Coast (with meat)!. I used to move 100,000 pounds a week. It''s all gone."
Rames says he couldn''t pay the rent when it tripled, couldn''t pay pensions and retirement for the 15 workers he had to let go, couldn''t keep up with gas and fuel prices, and couldn''t afford supplies.
"In the past 16 months, I lost 40 percent of my business," he laments.
Now, he''s headed for the unemployment line - and he''s not alone. - Reply to this comment

- Hamas supporting Obama...NOW THE COMMUNIST!
The official organ of Italian communist party "L''''UNITA''''" with leading articles of its publishing director, a certain Mr Furio Colombo a fanatical communist and a third-rate journalist, has also adopted a stance of enthusiastic endorsement and backup for Obama. He is speaking highly of him.. Communist support for Obama arouses suspicion considering the hatred communists have always felt for USA. This Furio Colombo in particular is in Italy well-known for his deep hate against USA. This nice gentleman is now in the US following Obama in his campaign for the Presidency.I wonder why communists are now backing Obama so warmly. I think there is cause for concern if communists are supporting Obama, isn%u2019t there?
