Haven't you heard? Obama's taking that gun away from you if elected...certainly supporting efforts to do just that.

I will never understand the religious right. They are pro-life when it comes to abortion, but against having any restrictions for owning a firearm.

Doesn't it make more sense that if you are pro-life you would be in favor laws that restrict certain people from getting certain types of firearms thereby reducing the number of deaths from firearms?

And if you really supported complete freedoms such as owning any type of firearm, you would also be for the freedom to decide what is right for the individual to do with her own body?

Maybe it can be boiled down to this. Do as I say, not as I do.

I'm sorry for all you out there voting Obama! I have you ask you all a question... First I'll make this statement! I know that at least if not all 100% of us Americans then at least 98% of us all know someone or have family that has or is fighting for the freedom of our Country! The right to wave Our Beautiful flag of Red,White and Blue! Right????

Okay, then how could you throw that all away by voting for the guy that took the United States Flag off his Plane, Nor would He slute his own flag! Or, the man whos own wife stated that she and her husband have NEVER been proud to be American until He started running for Office!?!

I don't know how anyone could trust him! You don't even know anything about him! His people have been trying to cover thing up from the begining! and I'm Sorry, but, He can't apologize for everything that his pastor of 20+years states and then say he don't feel that way! If He didn't agree with his pastor then why has he attend his church for so long!?? I'm sure that wasn't the first time his pastor stated such things!

Even The Clinton family who said they would suppost him,don't trust him or want him in office!Sad don't you think?
Anyways....
I'm Voting McCain all the way!

Senator McCain said yes when his country orderd him to report for duty in Vietnam. After 5 years of imprisonment, Senator McCain returned to an ungrateful country. He could have turned his back on his country like it had done to him, but instead he decided to continue serving the country that believed in and loved. This Hero is the kind of man I want in office when the tough decisions need to be made. Obama looks nice in a suit, but I'll support the man with courage.
Your "hero" collaborated with the enemy in Vietnam. He made over 32 broadcasts working with the Vietnamese government while a POW. He betrayed his country and the men serving with him.

http://www.alternet.org/election08/99663/repu...

Lucier, identified as a former U.S. Senate Chief of Staff, said "we do know that when he was over there, he cooperated with Communist news services in giving interviews that were not flattering to the United States." Usry, identified as U.S. Senate Minority Staff former chief investigator, said "information shows that he made over 32 tapes of propaganda for the Vietnamese government."

Dornan said there were transcripts of other POWs reacting to McCain's false statements, saying, "Oh my God, is that Admiral McCain's son Is that the admiral's son? Is that Johnny, telling us that our principle targets are schools, orphanages, hospitals, temples, churches? That was Jane Fonda's line." Dornan said those transcripts are in war museums in North Vietnam, where McCain, as a senator, pressured the country not to release them or face opposition concerning normalization of relations with the United States.

"McCain could not have wanted those to turn up in the middle of a presidential race," the ex-congressman said. "He knows that. I know that. And a few other people know that. That's why he was against Bob Dole's legislation."

Do some research on your so-called "hero". He's a fraud, and no friend of the Vets, either:

http://vietnamveteransagainstjohnmccain.com/

I come from a long line of proud Marines who have served America with honor and dignity, and would fight for her again on a moments notice. My father is a republican veteran who refuses to vote for this man. He is an insult to our true heroes in uniform.

Al-Qaida or affiliated groups probably will attack the United States in the months after the election to “welcome” the new president, says Frederick Stremmel, a former top FBI counterterrorism analyst.

“Al-Qaida knows that an attack before the election would help elect Republican Sen. John McCain, Stremmel says. The terrorists would prefer Democratic Sen. Barack Obama because they believe he would “swing the pendulum back” to more lenient anti-terrorism policies, Stremmel says.


James R. Fitzgerald, a former FBI profiler who interviewed terrorists at Guantanamo Bay and has had access to al-Qaida documents, agrees with Stremmel’s assessment.

Al-Qaida knows that, if it attacked before the election,“It would get McCain elected,” Fitzgerald says.“For obvious reasons, they would much prefer Obama.”

I have never seen some of the most ignorant people as I have during this election. Ignorant because they fear a mixed-race man who by far is more inteliigent and poised to be the President of the US than a John McCain will ever be.

Obama is the only candidate who understands that we are no longer in the 20th century. The old way of doing things just will not work anymore. The world is rapidly changing all around us. We need a president who understands that and can run with it. McCain is so buried in old style government he will never understand what is needed for this country to survive and thrive in the coming years.
My vote is for the best man running- Barack Obama.

vote for Obama
In my legal practice, I work mostly with churches and community groups, men and women who quietly build grocery stores and health clinics in the inner city, and housing for the poor," Obama wrote in the book.

Yet, in the brutal winter of 1996, Obama all but ignored the little people in his district living without heat in their apartments. The landlord of the 31-unit apartment Englewood building turned off their heat in December 1996.

For five brutal winter weeks the tenants there had no heat, sitting in the cold from Dec. 27, 1996, until early February 1997, when the city of Chicago sued to turn the heat on. The case was settled later that month with a $100 fine.

However, as his fellow neighbors sat freezing in the Chicago winter, Obama accepted a political donation from the Englewood owners.

The Englewood owners claimed they did not have the money to turn the heat back on. The very same owners who claimed they did not have money gave cash to Obama.

The owners, Tony Rezko and his partner Dan Mahru managed to come up with $1,000 for Obama to help his political campaign fund even as they refused to turn on the heat for the people that Obama represented.

Of course, the help Obama gave to his landlord friend Rezko did not stop in 1997. In 1998, Obama wrote several letters, lobbying the state and city governments to award a company owned by Rezko, New Kenwood LLC, and a lucrative contract to run more housing for the poor

This election has me very worried. So many things to consider. About a year ago I would have voted for Obama. I have changed my mind three times since than. I watch all the news channels, jumping from one to another. I must say this drives my husband crazy. But, I feel if you view MSNBC, CNN, and Fox News, you might get some middle ground to work with. About six months ago, I started thinking 'where did the money come from for Obama'. I have four daughters who went to College, and we were middle class, and money was tight. We (including my girls) worked hard and there were lots of student loans.

I started looking into Obama's life.

Around 1979 Obama started college at Occidental in California. He is very open about his two years at Occidental, he tried all kinds of drugs and was wasting his time but, even though he had a brilliant mind, did not apply himself to his studies.'Barry'(that was the name he used all his life) during this time had two roommates, Muhammad Hasan Chandoo and Wahid Hamid, both from Pakistan. During the summer of 1981, after his second year in college, he made a 'round the world' trip. Stopping to see his mother in Indonesia, next Hyderabad in India, three weeks in Karachi, Pakistan where he stayed with his roommate's family, then off to Africa to visit his father's family. My question - Where did he get the money for this trip? Neth er I, nor any one of my children would have had money for a trip like this when they where in college. When he came back he started school at Columbia University in New York. It is at this time he wants everyone to call him Barack - not Barry. Do you know what the tuition is at Columbia? It's not cheap to say the least! Where did he get money for tuition? Student Loans? Maybe. After Columbia, he went to Chicago to work as a Community Organizer for $12,000 a year. Why Chicago? Why not New York? He was already living in New York.

By 'chance' he met Antoin 'Tony' Rezko, born in Aleppo Syria, and a real estate developer in Chicago. Rezko has been convicted of fraud and bribery this year. Rezko, was named 'Entrepreneur of the Decade' by the Arab-American Business and Professional Association'. About two years later, Obama entered Harvard Law School. Do you have any idea what tuition is for Harvard Law School? Where did he get the money for Law School? More student loans? After Law school, he went back to Chicago. Rezko offered him a job, which he turned down. But, he did take a job with Davis, Miner, Barnhill & Galland. Guess what? They represented 'Rezar' which is Rezko's firm. Rezko was one of Obama's first major financial contributors when he ran for office in Chicago. In 2003, Rezko threw an early fundraiser for Obama which Chicago Tribune reporter David Mendelland claims was instrumental in providing Obama with 'seed money' for his U.S. Senate race. In 2005, Obama purchased a new home in Kenwoood District of Chicago for $1.65 million (less than asking price). With ALL those Student Loans - Where did he get the money for the property? On the same day Rezko's wife, Rita, purchased the adjoining empty lot for full price. The London Times reported that Nadhmi Auchi, an Iraqi-born Billionaire loaned Rezko $3.5 million three weeks before Obama's new home was purchased. Obama met Nadhmi Auchi many times with Rezko.

Now, we have Obama running for President. Valerie Jarrett, was Michele Obama's boss. She is now Obama's chief advisor and he does not make any major decisions without talking to her first. Where was Jarrett born? Ready for this? Shiraz, Iran! Do we see a pattern here? Or am I going crazy?

On May 10, 2008 The Times reported, Robert Malley, advisor to Obama, was 'sacked' after the press found out he was having regular contacts with 'Hamas', which controls Gaza and is connected with Iran. This past week, buried in the back part of the papers, Iraqi newspapers reported that during Obama's visit to Iraq, he asked their leaders to do nothing about the war until after he is elected, and he will 'Take care of things'.

Oh, and by the way, remember the college roommates that where born in Pakistan? They are in charge of all those 'small' Internet campaign contributions for Obama. Where is that money coming from? The poor and middle class in this country? Or could it be from the Middle East?

And the final bit of news. On September 7, 2008, The Washington Times posted a verbal slip that was made on 'This Week' with George Stephanapoulos. Obama on talking about his religion said,'My Muslim faith'. When questioned,'he made a mistake'. Some mistake!

All of the above information I got on line. If you would like to check it - Wikipedia, encyclopedia, Barack Obama; Tony Rezko; Valerie Jarrett: Daily Times - Obama visited Pakistan in 1981; The Washington Times - September 7, 2008; The Times May 10, 2008.

Now the BIG question - If I found out all this information on my own, Why haven't all of our 'intelligent' members of the press been reporting this?

A phrase that keeps ringing in my ear -'Beware of the enemy from within'!!!

Democrats have become a far-left propaganda party with the lowest-ranked Congress in history. For six years, they have consistently refused to rein in the monumentally risky subprime loans that Clinton Democrats gave birth to.
Yet, voters are blaming Republicans for this crisis and seem to think that a newcomer they know little about, despite his questionable past associates and mentors, can bring us more huge programs. These include one that would socialize the health care system at a time when government-run systems in Canada and Britain are lower in quality and nearly bankrupt.
