- In total violation of biblical teaching, that states flatly that divorce is allowable only for adultery, McCain ditched Carol and married Cindi; hence, McCain and Cindi are committing adultery before our eyes. Bristol Palin, the daughter of McCain%u2019s VP nominee, is an unwed, teenage pregnant mother having committed adultery in violation of Biblical teaching. So, if sin is the reason the republicans impeached Clinton, then, John McCain should be jailed for the treatment he gave his first wife! At least Bill and Hillary salvaged their marriage and stayed true to their vow of "in sickness or in health!" McCain-Palin=Adultery First! McCain-Palin=Broker than the 10 commandments! Too bad McCain-Palin actions are in direct contrast to their Christian right-wing holier than thou attitudes and policies.

- Who is Grover Norquist?
In 1999 Grover Norquist was instrumental in securing early support for then Texas Governor George W. Bush, continuing a decades-long association with Karl Rove. ("The Wall Street Journal''''s John Fund dubbed him "the Grand Central Station" of conservatism and told The Nation: "It''''s not disputable" that Norquist was the key to the Bush campaign''''s surprising level of support from movement conservatives in 2000"). After Bush''''s election to the White House in 2000, Norquist was the prime architect behind the many Bush tax-cuts.
The "Wednesday Meeting" of Norquist''''s Leave Us Alone Coalition has become an important hub of conservative political organizing. George W. Bush began sending a representative to the Wednesday Meeting even before he formally announced his candidacy for president in 1999. "Now a White House aide attends each week," reported USA Today in June 2001. "Vice President Cheney sends his own representative. So do GOP congressional leaders, right-leaning think tanks, conservative advocacy groups and some like-minded K Street lobbyists. The meeting has been valuable to the White House because it is the political equivalent of one-stop shopping. By making a single pitch, the administration can generate pressure on members of Congress, calls to radio talk shows, and political buzz from dozens of grassroots organizations. - Reply to this comment

$8,900,000,000 IndyMac
$30,000,000,000 Bear Stearns
$85,000,000,000 AIG
$200,000,000,000 Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac

- Grover%u2019s Vision:
An America in which the rich will be taxed at the same rates as the poor, where the minimum wage is repealed, unions are made irrelevant, and law-abiding citizens can pack handguns in every state and town. "My ideal citizen is the self-employed, homeschooling, IRA-owning guy with a concealed-carry permit," says Norquist. "Because that person doesn''''t need the godd@mn government for anything."
Norquist is famous for saying, "I don''''t want to abolish government. I simply want to reduce it to the size where I can drag it into the bathroom and drown it in the bathtub." His plan is for the federal government to amass massive debt without increasing taxes on the rich, if the federal government is mired in huge debt it can no longer fund social programs of any kind, including Social Security, Medicaid, Veterans benefits...
Now how could you amass such massive debt in a short 8 years?? - Reply to this comment
- OBAMA IS LEADING! In the polls, in history, in new voter registration, in fundraising, in campaign management, by every metric possible! Conventional wisdom has always said that you can determine how a president will lead by observing how he leads his campaign and the decision he made in picking his vice presidential nominee! Obama/Biden 08, real leadership for a new generation! What a STELLAR campaign being run by an incredible young, American leader! Go OBAMA/BIDEN

- Basically, America has lost its farming base and its manufacturing base. Driving our economic growth for the last eight years has been the FINANCE BUBBLE, credit and mortgages, coupled with exotic derivatives and other risky financial instruments. We need a leader who can inspire America with a vision that results in Americans actually MANUFACTURING something of value for the world other than EXOTIC FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS. OBAMA stands alone as the candidate taking us in that direction.

"I think the deregulation was probably helpful to the growth of our economy."

- What many extreme evangelical Christians fail to realize is that Obama is truly a real Christian. The Dobson group mocked Obama by caricaturing him as an Uncle Ben''''s rice or Aunt Jemima type character on a waffle box, which was sold at their function. Many may have seen the video discussing the box on The View, as Hasselbeck spoke out against Obama racism. This demeaning act showed that real Christianity is not exhibited by Dobson%u2019s group. Jesus spoke of the Good Samaritan, as a clear example that racism is a weakness, not strength. In our economy, Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 prohibits discrimination on the basis race, national origin, ***, age, and disability. Racism is un-patriotic, anti-Christian, sinful behavior, according to any and all Christian bibles!

A nation that continues year after year to spend more money on military defense than on programs of social uplift is approaching spiritual doom.

- Republicans speak as though the threats posed by global warming and climate change are nonexistent.
Keep in mind that the stone age did not end because of a lack of stones; in like manner, our dependence on fossil fuels will not end because of a shortage of oil.
Leadership is required, such as the leadership demonstrated by Obama.
Furthermore, the space program, from Gemini through Apollo to Neil Armstrong setting foot on the moon, began as a pie in the sky. Real leadership made it a reality.
Exxon Mobil markets itself as an ENERGY company. In actuality, they are merely an oil and gas company. If they truly viewed themselves as an energy company, they would have plowed a much greater profit into acquisition of alternative energy companies. The alternative energy technology is more developed and functional than the un-informed realize. However, Exxon used the bulk of its profits to buy back its own stock. This reflects short term thinking. Think out of the box, man!
Through a combination of government working together with business, a whole new set of opportunities quickly emerges under an Obama/Biden administration. A good example of how government, in this case NASA, can work together with industry was the new swimsuits revealed at the Beijing Olympics. The suits were designed by NASA and Speedo and instrumental in the number of world records set. OBAMA/BIDEN 08 - Reply to this comment
- Barack and Michelle truly love God as Christians and have a marriage that reflects real Christian and American values. Their cute marriage and precious daughters are an inspiration for all Americans and represent America%u2019s best. Together with the Christian love between Joe and Jill Biden, Obama/Biden will govern with fairness and God will bless America as a beacon of hope for the whole world.

Of course it doesn''''t matter to you! You haven''''t a clue and just want to listen to somebody who promises you a Utopia that doesn''''t exist, and is NOT going to exsist for a few more years!
Wait, we don''t have a clue? Why because we have made our own decisions? What do you mean we don''t have a clue, you think your the only one that has done any research? Oh, wait thats right. I forgot, when I asked you to prove that Obama was anti-american. You provided us with a youtube home video as evidence. Well Obama Supporters, it has to be true, I mean after all it was posted on Youtube. I wonder if there are any video''s against McCain. Hmm. Those must also be true right? - Reply to this comment

- The most significant change that Obama/Biden will bring to the White House is leadership that actually leads, by changing our government%u2019s strategies and culture so that they have a better fit to the global economy. Obama has an excellent ability to shape a strategic vision of a realistic and attractive future that binds us together as Americans and focuses our energy toward super ordinate goals as a nation. Obama stands alone as the candidate who can frame messages around a grand purpose with emotional appeal that captivates the best in us. Transformational leaders not only talk about a vision; they enact it. They walk the talk by stepping outside the executive suite and doing things that symbolize the vision, the way that Obama performed during the primaries and the way he has run a STELLAR overall campaign. Obama stands alone as the candidate best equipped to demonstrate a Can Do attitude with an image of honesty, trust, and integrity. OBAMA IS THE BEST CANDIDATE FOR PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA! OBAMA 08; Yes We Can

- McCain is a weak, wimp of a man to pimp Sarah Failing the way he has done. It is truly sad. Sarah is in no way ready for the national stage or the Vice Presidency. McCain should truly be ASHAMED of himself for what he has done and tried to ram down America%u2019s throat!
