[neederbaur]

WHO IS OBAMA WE DON''T KNOW.WHAT HAS HE DONE?VOTED PRESENT.YIKES.WHAT IF J.F.K. VOTED PRESENT.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."

A THIRD BUSH TERM? WHY???

[mydogdylan6]

No votes for Chimp from around here.

But then we are not Urban Black Power Gang bangers either.
==================
No you are the racist biggot vote. And yes, McCain does have his "base" sewn up.

More educated whotes are voting for Obma than McCain. I guess the key word is "educated".

Republicans are PANICKED--if the Democrats are allowed to fix things Repubs will look like the villains they are. The Repubs will use any power they can get to be obstructionist and force Americans to suffer to save face.

Democrats need to have the power to push Republicans aside to fix things!

[lightnin001]

Think one-party government is a good idea?

Think the democrats are %u201Cprotecting%u201D Social Security for you?

When Social Security was introduced, the "democrats" promised that:

Participation would be voluntary
Contributions would be tax-deductible
The funds would not be used for any other purpose
Retirement benefits would never be taxed

When there was a "democratic" President, Senate, and House, they:

Made contributions taxable

Put the funds into the General Fund (Lyndon Johnson, with a "democratic" House and Senate) so that they could use them as they wished (Pork and liberal projects), now the Social Security funds do not grow interest to add to the funds.

Made retirement payouts taxable (Clinton administration, with Al Gore casting the deciding vote)

Gave Social Security benefits to new immigrants who never paid into Social Security

And now, Obama wants to give it to Illegal Immigrants!

And now they and their media groupies try to blame the Republicans for the state that Social Security is in!

This should give the American people some idea of what can happen when the "democrats" control the Presidency, Senate and House, which will be the case if Obama wins, aided and abetted by the fact that the liberal press will keep it quiet! If he does get in, they''ll soon control the Supreme Court as well, as they''ll get to fill the vacancies as they see fit!

This fixation on the $700 billion bailout shows how little people pay attention to anything.

Where were all you experts while the deficit went from $3 trillion to $10 Trillion ?

Guess talking about that requires real research and knowledge about what is going on.

[nearl4511]

Actually, I always get a hunorous kick out of listening to Graham... y far the funniest story was the one about buying cheap Persion rugs in Iraq in a market after being surrounded with platoons of soldiers and fortified with Helicopter back up....as evidence of a "safe" open free marketplace.

That and threats in 2006 that the Republicans were going "Clean our" Democrat "clocks".

Priceless.

[nearl4511]

I thought Joseph McCarthy was dead. I guesss not.

[paulstewart9]

I see the difference between Obama and McCain as more gut instinctive. Its not about this fear stuff being thrown around and its not about minimizing Obama into something less than McCain on the economy. Nor is it about this socialism or radical nonsense.

The polls are showing the truth here. The American people are finally seeing what McCain and Obama stand for. They see a stronger leader in Obama, something they hope for and with bated breath are hoping is not just too good to be true.

The more they see of both of them, the more this moves to Obama. With good reason I might add. You can''t watch this long and not get it that Obama is genuine, capable and altruistic.

And, you can''t miss that McCain''s campaign is all about "spin" to understate rather dramatically. The problem is that the truth is so far off what McCain needs to spin it into, that the spinning takes a legion of spiders. And the web spun from all that spinning, is just tying the ticket to the floor.....

[paulstewart9]

America will be voting for the change she clearly needs. And America realizes she must vote out the partisan gridlock to ensure the change can happen. She knows the Republicans, under current leadership, are incapable of dealing in good faith on that matter. And I would say that if there is a risk with giving Obama the House and Senate, it pales in comparison to the opportunity to put America right.

Obama is seeking change. Big change, yes; but not to some new radical thing. The change is just a restoration of America to her fundamentals. A rejuvenation to her founding moral principles, to her bedrock of freedom, democracy and the American Way. It is incredible that revolutionary change is needed to restore America to her own bedrock. Indeed she has drifted, or more accurately, been driven far asunder. She is almost a fiction today, so far is she from her own truth.

[paulstewart9]

Maybe we are too awestruck by Obama''s success so far to hope there could be more in this man. I think he will be able to drive forward his grass roots political movement. I will say though, and you can mark these words, that it will not be a Democratic movement, a liberal movement, or a radical movement. It will be simply an American movement that is lucid, inclusive, and cohesive....

I would not say Obama is the person America has been waiting for, but I argue he is the leadership she is waiting for.... His person and history is a great surprise and challenge for America. A surprise that I believe will ultimately delight her and a challenge, one that is long over due by the way, that she will not only embrace but meet as well....

On Tuesday, when America gives Obama the wheel, he will astutely point the train in America''s direction....

Obama will drive an American restoration. In good time, we will once again see that shining light on the hill, that glowing torch in the harbor, that open door to the neighbors, and once again that American Dream.....

America needs to move quickly though, she has drifted too long and is far behind. There is indeed the fierce urgency of now.....

Lindsey Graham is queer. He lacks good judgement.

Posted by Sky_Five

Lindsey Graham not only lacks good judgement, he has lost all credibility with his ridiculous remarks suggesting this is going be neck-and-neck down to the wire. What a joke.

[tincup356]

who said they abolished slavery? looks like it is making a big comeback..only this time it knows no color ...just how you sit on the economic ladder.

[melpol1]

Those that call themselves patriotic Americans and harbor racist views will have a headache when the nation gets its first black president. It is a contradiction to call yourself patriotic when you dislike the skin color of the president . The only mental relief for them would be to enter a reorientation clinic to learn what it means to be an American.

African American fashions and music will become the rage with the new presidency. Some are calling it the second civil rights movement and the end of racism. Old racial prejudices might remain in the hearts of the ignorant. But they will be eliminated as they accept the reality that the first lady in America and her family is black. Racial integration will take on a new meaning as it becomes fashionable to have a black lover or friend. These events will be good news to a world that has been suffering over racial division for centuries.

Fellow Americans , we are under the worst kind of terror attack we can face.The first wave of the attack was the 7oo billion SELLOUT.The next wave will come after the election if the congressmen who voted for the bailout are re-elected.mark my word , these people are not through.If they are re-elected , you will hear that they under estimated the problems and they are going to need many billions more.They only await to be re-elected to finish us off.YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED.

[nmsuip]

I''d like to encourage the Republicans to get out and vote on Tuesday. In order to have a winner, there has to be a loser. John McCain is that loser, and your Republican votes will make this loss possible!

[dredigga]

The GOP should lose this election! If they had any honor at all, they shouldn''t have even fielded a candidate (Hmmmmmm.Let me think...,"McCain and Palin"? They have a heart after all :)

[hofkurz]

I wish someone would give Sen. Graham a new script. Sen. Obama, the Out-of-the-mainstream candidate? With Sen. McCain having so many houses he forgot how many? And a VP candidate that wears a $2500 Valentino blazer without batting an eye? Are Americans really buying this drivel?
I was happy to hear that Springfield, MO turned out with 40,000 to hear Sen. Obama. That is indeed the red part of the state.

[kayebradley]

You know what, Sarah Palin is the gift that just keeps on giving!

GO Sarah!

[kayebradley]

Frankly, Sen. Lindsey Graham should have been McCain''s choice. He wouldn''t be in the position he is now if he had...What am I thinking?!! That would take good judgement and sound wisdom to make decision like that. Neither which has been shown by McCain.

GO OBAMA!!!
