I knew Obama had his hand in ACORN all along!

What shocks me is that some people will still go ahead and toss all of the American values aside and put a man in the White House who the Muslims hail as "their messiah!" I have had it with the Obama drones and Rabid ACORN squirrels!

If Illinois State Treasurer Alexi Giannoulias is drawn into this mess as now expected, that will be yet another very difficult relationship for Obama to explain away.

We see a continuation of the "company" that Obama keeps. From Rezko, Wright, Farrakhan, Ayers and who knows else. People want to vote for this man who has significant questions on his judgement and ability to protect our country. You will have "change" however, it will be towards a socialist society with government in every part of your life. To top it all off Obama would not pass the "background" test for key positions in our government (CIA, FBI) yet he can be President. Damn were in trouble!

Plenty of sadness after election .. first the day after and then months later when we have a filibuster proof Senate and greater Democrat control of the House. All 3 branches controlled by one party. When was the last time that happened? It was 2001 through 2006. We know the rest of that story don't we.

With a filibuster proof Senate majority they can cut off debate on anything and everything. With a near veto proof majority in the House it will be pretty much the same thing as the more liberal Rs are picked off with spending earmarks to buy their votes.

Yes, sadness that extremists such as Pelosi, Reid, and the "One" will give us change. Enjoy your sub $4 gasoline now while you have it. Also enjoy your taxes going up with nothing to show for it except more "social" spending.

Maybe you can get a part-time job to pay off the higher cost of earning a paycheck, assuming you still have your full-time job.

The "O" is the Democrat's turn to usher in a "W" into the WH.

Obama is evil and shouldn't be voted into
office because he knows the following..

Ok, let's follow your logic..

1. Ayers.. Who Obama knows because they both
sit on the same non profit board, founded by
the Annenberg's who support McCain for office..
So the circle connects them all.

2. Ayers- if Obama is a terrorist for teaching at the same college and serving on the same board.
Then should we not call each and every student
taught in Ayer's classroom - TERRORIST.

3. Rezko- who has donated to both parties
including the BUSH/CHENEY re-election of 2004.
The Max. allowed actually.

4. Wright- oh religion -this list is so long
we would need an entire thread devoted to it.
In short, Hagee and Parsley- endorce McCain.
Want to talk hate, here is a few wonderful words of love that spewed forth from the new..

"The Catholic Church is a great Wh***"
"Katrina was God punishing New Orleans"
"anti-Semitism, and thus the Holocaust, was the fault of Jews themselves -- the result of an age old divine curse incurred by the ancient Hebrews through worshiping idols and passed, down the ages, to all Jews now alive."

5. Farrakhan- see above, every candidate
has his own religious whack job.

Let's look at others that weren't mentioned

6. Palin and her preacher on video
chasing the witches away.

7. Palin and the AIP- who want to cede
from the United States.. Todd a registered
member for 7 years and Sarach speaking at
two of their conventions.

8. McCain serving on a board with a former
KKK member- I don't think we need to go into
their history - some of which isn't very pretty..

Is a clearer picture forming for you yet?

Sadly, I believe you are right. And just wondering something... suppose Obama is a white guy with precisely the same background and views as he has now. Anyone think Oprah gives a damn about him? Me either. Think the liberal media gives a damn either? Right... me either. Sad. Very sad.

Let's all go out and vote for him because he's such an attractive black man who is the second coming of JFK and Christ... in that order. Makes me want to puke. Should he win, we are in even deeper crap than anyone ever dreamed.

"Why Catholics for Obama?
Submitted by Sister Lea on February 3, 2008 - 2:41pm.--- Everything under the sun ...
It was no coincidence that the Kennedy/King era coincided with Vatican II. Both Kennedy and King embodied a new vision for government in the same way that Vatican II brought forth a new vision for Church.

As Vatican II Catholics, we have considerable reason to support Obama. For us, Christ laid down his life to prove that God was NOT about domination and power OVER us. For us, Jesus' message was that of a God WITH us, a God who inspires and motivates us to love one another and care for each other. For us, Church and World are inseparably linked. It's not a case of one fighting the other in a turf war.

Like Vatican II, the world today teaches us a new salvation-view. We WILL work together to save each other AND there will be NO salvation until we do just that. Salvation by proxy is NOT an option. Iraq proves that if nothing else.

From the beginning of his campaign, Barack Obama has called us all to the difficult tasks at hand, reminding us that the time for singular saviors has passed. We know too well that singular saviors can be "erased" or made ineffective. The good news is that hope and change cannot be driven into oblivion as long as one person remembers and reminds us who we are together. Barack remembers and calls us to our power and responsibility.

It is time for an end to cynicism and apathy in regard to politics. The time has come for transforming the way the system works. Experience and success with the old system isn't enough today.

Barack Obama recognizes this. And so do Caroline and Ted Kennedy.

And how about Mayor Daley, Alderman like Vi Daley, and those unelected by the public and not working for any city department - community gestapo groups? I reported the city and Vi Daley to the IG office. David Hoffman & the IG Office have 120 days to repond before it is time for the city to shows its cards and explain why codes and ordinances are not being enforced. Follow the rules to play. Not pay to play or payoff to break the rules. Why no mention of Mayor Daley? I hope that an Obama Presidency opens to the doors to more federal inquiries into the Daley machine and loser opportunist side kicks. Obama should distance himself from Mayor Daley and anyone thinking that laws do not apply to them.

McCain will have Hagee:

"There are plenty of staunch evangelical leaders who are pro-Israel, but are not anti-Catholic. John Hagee is not one of them,” Donohue said on Thursday.“Indeed, for the past few decades, he has waged an unrelenting war against the Catholic Church. For example, he likes calling it ‘The Great Whore,’ an ‘apostate church,’ the ‘anti-Christ,’ and a ‘false cult system’.”

"... Obama has sent to charity $159,000 that Rezko raised for his campaigns for the state legislature, the House and the Senate. Rezko raised nothing for Obama's White House run.

Obama's name came up in testimony at the trial four times, twice in connection with an obscure legislative memo, as a guest at a Rezko party and when defense attorney Joseph Duffy told jurors his client was a friend of the senator.

None of the witnesses accused the Democratic nominee for president of doing anything improper..."

So you are saying the CIA and the FBI have some "dirt" on Obama that they are keeping secret from us. That is very funny. You can bet if they had something it would have been "leaked" a long time ago.

For a year now, I have been hearing about
this secret information or that secret video
that will be coming out any day now to
destroy the Obamas'

Gee, I can say it too.. Anyday now there
will be a secret video coming out about
McCain or Palin, and it will be the end of their campaign..

Is it True, heck NO.. But is sounds good, doesn't it...
