McCain Repudiates but Says Can’t Stop N.C. GOP Ad.
New Orleans, La:
For the second day in a row, John McCain strongly repudiated the negative ad put out by the NC GOP which uses video of Barack Obama’s former Pastor, Jeremiah Wright saying “God**** America.” The ad ends saying, “North Carolina is not ready for Obama”.
When McCain was asked again today by reporters during his tour of the lower ninth ward of New Orleans, he reiterated his dismay and said he wished the N.C. GOP would stop airing it. He did however say there was no way he could force them to cease and desist. When asked if he would censure the NC GOP by not allowing them seats at the Convention he hedged, suggesting that he would wait to see if they would respond to his request to stop running it.
See what he had to say

Hillary VS McCain
i understand mccain’s position on ads like these, but i would like to see more of them, becasue that’s exactly how i perceive the BOMB- that is obombyomama
McCain has a brain.
Hillary is profane.
Barack is insane.
from the Chicago Tribune
On Monday night, a 28-year-old man was killed and four others were shot at a McDonald’s restaurant in the 7600 block of South Vincennes Avenue. Wednesday’s shooting occurred near the border of the Englewood and Gresham police districts, an area heavily populated with members of the Gangster Disciples street gang.
Over the weekend, 36 people were shot and seven were killed across Chicago in what police said were primarily gang-related incidents, many in the Englewood and nearby Chicago Lawn police districts.
The afternoon crackle of gunfire in the Chatham neighborhood boosted a grim statistic: In fewer than seven days, the city has seen at least 40 shootings resulting in more than a dozen deaths.
Many of the recent shootings have been attributed to ongoing gang feuds on the South and West Sides, but Chicago police spokeswoman Monique Bond said Wednesday’s quintuple homicide may have been committed by “some known affiliate of the victims.”
Obamas vote on gangs
In 2001, Obama voted against a measure that would have expanded the penalties for some gang activity to include the death penalty. The bill was vetoed by then-Gov. George Ryan (R ) not long after he had issued a moratorium on the death penalty in the state.
Obama, at the time, said the bill would unfairly target minorities, stating, “There’s a strong overlap between gang affiliation and young men of color … I think it’s problematic for them to be singled out as more likely to receive the death penalty for carrying out certain acts than are others who do the same thing.”
And in 2001, Obama voted “present” on a bill that would increase penalties for trafficking in Ecstasy and other designer drugs.
The senator questioned the length of some drug penalties when compared to other crimes, noting that selling 15 tablets of Ecstasy was a Class X felony, as was raping a woman at knifepoint.
THANKS OBAMA FOR TAKING IT EASY ON THE MINORITIES (young men of color)GANG MEMBERS
WHAT A JOKE YOU ARE OBAMA
Senator Hillary is right!!
She is ahead in popular votes but the traitors in DNC Leaders has long decided to betray her in favor of a far more left liberal…
Carville is absolutely right! There are many Judas in the Democratic Party nowadays… They should all be hanged!
These so called LEADERS that should set good example of loyalty to their constituents are Blatantly betraying them. SHAME ON THEM!!!
These Elders are asking their supporters to support them but have different standard in supporting their constituents. SHAME ON YOU!!!
DNC Traitors & Judases:(Voted against the will of their Constituents)
Ted Kennedy
John Kerry
Nancy Pelosi
Bill Richardson
Gov. Henry
***Will you join them????*** SHAME ON THEM!!!
You can’t blame the disgusted Democrat electorate if they will vote for John McCain come November if Hillary is not the nominee.
I scraped my knuckles during a bad landing. Obama says he has a program for birds like me.
I’ll be able to fix up my knuckles at reduced cost now thanks to Obama.
Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reed.
McCain go McCain!! YaY!!
McCain is wrong on this. The American people deserve to see who Obama had earlier said is his mentor. The definition of a mentor is one from whom we learn. Obama DOES believe every word that comes out of the right Reverand Jeremiah Wright’s mouth. Look at his comments in his book that “I found solace in nursing a pervasive sense of grievance against my mother’s race” and “I will stand with Moslems should the political winds shift in an ugly direction.” Wake up McCain.
The ad is fine–just doesn’t go far enough but in the 30 seconds you can hardly add in:
Farakhan, Rezko and Auchi, Odinga, Obonga, Ayers, Michelle, Frank Marshal (another Mentor/uncle from his book–a card carrying communist) and all the other Marxist Professors he adored. Also, Obama’s own comments issuing forth in unguarded moments like those about his “typical white person” grandmother, and his disregard for millions of middle class Americans in small towns who cling to guns and religion and have antipathy for those not like themselves.
If anyone has antipathy toward different people it is OBAMAnable!
To a large extent our friends and associates that we choose do inform our own world view. It is our personal choice of the type of persons to associate with that shows the world a microcosm of our character.
Obama’s is terrible and very frightening.
Gene,
You are so right about Obama’s “sensitivity” being always about the black agenda as he has sworn in his church to uphold. Never mind that many of the victims of these black gangs are themselves young black men. Never mind that white people are killed by them as well. Who cares as long as the perpetrators don’t go to jail and swell the numbers of lifers as many of them would qualify for the three strikes law Obama dislikes–just listen to his mentor Rev. Wright!
Stick a fork in the Democrats.
They are Done!!!!!!!!!
Burnt actually.
Burnt toast done.
They have a lose lose situation.
Obama in the general. They lose
Hillary in the general. They lose.
Go McCain, at least he has a brain!

Marie have you ever looked at Obamas record when it comes to issues involving blacks it is amazing the sensitivity he has towards the issues when he was a community organizer it was in a predominately black community I honestly believe he is a closet racist his books and statements support that and does his wifes
I wonder if the good people of N.C will see that artical and care about there children first and realize Obama had his chance to make a real change in the community and voted against it these gang members are killing our kids and Obama is soft on them that is not the kind of president we need
Obama is in bed with terrorist, crooks and a Pastor that has filled his head full of hate and bitter for America. No flag pin, No hand over the heart, all he can say is change, I say change to what….change for his and the blacks benefit and leave the small town Americans clinging to our guns and Church! Obama is not what America needs!
Everyone likes McCain.
He is not insane.
Obama wont wear a pin and Michelle is not proud of america.
Vote for Obama because a true patriot hates america!!!!!
Berkley, Ca. loves Obama!
San Francisco loves Obama!
All hippies love Obama!

From a friend whose husband is a retired Army Colonel. They have lived all over the world….from Germany to Korea.
I’m sending this from a friend who received it directly from the Missionaries. It’s pretty scary…..
Here is a note concerning Obama from missionaries in Kenya.
===========================================
Thanks for sending out an alert about Obama. We are living and working in Kenya for almost twelve years now and know his family (tribe) well. They are the ones who were behind the recent Presidential election chaos here. Thousands of people have been displaced by election violence (over 350,000) and I don’t know the last count of the dead. Obama under ‘friends of Obama’ gave almost a million dollars to the opposition campaign who just happened to be his cousin, Raila Odinga, who is a socialist trained in east Germany. He has been trying to bring Kenya down for years and the last president threw him in prison for trying to subvert this country! December 27th elections brought cries from ODM (Odinga Camp) of rigged election. Obama and Raila speak daily. As we watch Obama rise in the US we are sure that whatever happens, he will use the same tactic, crying rigged election if he doesn’t win and possibly cause! A race war in America.
What we would like you to know is what the American press has been keeping a dirty little secret. Obama IS a Muslim and he IS a racist and this is a fulfillment of the 911 threat that was just the beginning. Jihad is the only true Muslim way. We have been working with them for 20 years this July. He is not an American as we know it. Please encourage your friends and associates not to be taken in by those that are promoting him. It is world wide jihad. All our friends in Europe are very disturbed by the Muslim infiltration into their countries. By the way. His true name is Barak Hussein Muhammed Obama. Won’t that sound sweet to our enemies as they swear him in on the Koran!
God Bless you.
Pray for us here in Kenya. We are still fighting for our nation to withstand the same kind of assault that every nation, including America, is fighting. Takeover from the outside to fit the new world order. As believers, this means we will be the first targets. Here in Kenya, not one mosque was burned down, but hundreds of churches were burned down, some with people in them, burned alive.
Jesus Christ is our peace but the new world order of Globalism has infiltrated the church and confused believers into thinking that they can compromise and survive. It won’t be so. I will send you a newsletter we sent out in February documenting in a more cohesive manner what I’ve tried to say in a few paragraphs.
Love, Celeste
Celeste and Loren Davis
There is nothing wrong with the ad – it is the truth. Wright made the statement – I refuse to call him a man of God, dont’ be afraid of the truth. Obama is an anti-white, anti-American, snob whose future was provided to him by white hard working Americans. Althought I don’t agree with John McCains politics, I find him to be a good man. I would vote for him before Obama any day of the week.
If you do the crime you do the time,…..unless you’re black. Obamas motto.
Hey, if you don’t want to go to jail then quit being a criminal. Thats right. No common sense
I guess the dims don’t want all their dependants in jail on felonies. They’d lose too many votes.
Oops. forgot its Ill. Every one can vote….many times, dead or alive.
look how Jesse Jackson threatened business in Ill and got his kid the dealership, etc.
Sharpton has made his threats if they give the nom to Hillary. Not wanting another 68 only worse, I’m sure those wusses will not do it.
Obama says he wants to change the system. Sorry about that, but our system is constitutional. So, what does he mean by change?
Geo. Soros, the lefty millionaire for Obama, has bundled 350 mil for ads agaisnt McCain. One is running now. I’m sure he won’t stop because McCain asks him to. McCain can take the high road and show the people he isn’t a low life like they are.
Think you have to read something about political history of kenya before you make any misguided statements. Violence was about to happen at some point, and Kenya is not alone in that respect.
“The challenges facing Kenya’s leaders have deep and personal roots. Rulers who awarded land to their cronies and favored their ethnic kin would be reluctant to give up that tangible lever of power, unless forced. Rulers would be even more loath to give up the absolute powers – of apportioning budgets, choosing members of the judiciary, and clamping down on opposition and press freedoms at will – that Kenya’s liberation-era Constitution gives its office of presidency.
Yet analysts, both in Kenya and across Africa, say that Kenya’s only hope for peace is if it addresses those very issues now.
“Kenya sits as an indication of a broader problem, the African problem of how to organize the political state,” says Francis Kornegay, a senior analyst at the Center for Policy Studies in Johannesburg. With men like Kibaki and Odinga and their respective entourages, “We are dealing with a political class that has come from years of dictatorship. These habits die hard.”
Either way McCain wins. Denounce the ad look like the noble gentleman he is. Approve it, boy chi-town is still gonna pay the consequences
I simply must do something about my lying Ears.
Not much has changed in people’s perception of the candidates, except Hillary less favourable in recent week. Furthermore overall interest in campaign has been lower than in Feb.
april 18-21 survey
Most Americans (54%) said their opinion of Obama had not changed in the days before the survey. About a quarter (24%) said they had come to have a less favorable opinion of the Illinois Democrat, while 18% said their opinion of him had grown more favorable. In late March, following the emergence of the Wright controversy and Obama’s speech on race, somewhat more (30%) said they had come to have a less favorable opinion of Obama, but a greater proportion also said their opinion had become more positive (22%).
A majority (55%) also said their opinion of Clinton was unchanged, but more reported feeling less favorably toward Clinton in recent days than toward Obama (31% Clinton vs. 24% Obama). About three times as many said they had a less favorable view of her in recent days (31%) than said they had a more favorable view of the New York senator (11%). These numbers also have not changed materially since late March, when 30% said they had come to have a less favorable opinion of Clinton recently

Rev. Wright Defends His Racist Anti-American Comments
Thu, Apr 24, 2008 at 11:24:11 am PST
Rev. Jeremiah Wright was interviewed by loony leftist Bill Moyers (airing on PBS tomorrow) and imagine my surprise; he claims his words were twisted.
Because, you know, the best way to “twist” someone’s words is to quote them verbatim.
“I felt it was unfair,” Mr. Wright said, according to excerpts of the interview released Thursday. “I felt it was unjust. I felt it was untrue. I felt for those who were doing that, were doing it for some very devious reasons.”
In Mr. Wright’s sermons, he suggested that Americans bore some responsibility for the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, saying “America’s chickens are coming home to roost.” He also blamed the government for the spread of AIDS among African-Americans, characterized the United States government as corrupt and referred to the “U.S. of K.K.K. A.”
He did not apologize or back away from his remarks in the interview, instead saying that people wanted to paint him as “some sort of fanatic.”
“It’s to paint me as something — ‘Something’s wrong with me. There’s nothing wrong with this country … for its policies. We’re perfect. Our hands are free. Our hands have no blood on them,’” he said. “That’s not a failure to communicate. The message that is being communicated by the sound bites is exactly what those pushing those sound bites want to communicate.”
When asked what the people who aired the clips “wanted to communicate,” Mr. Wright said, “I think they wanted to communicate that I am unpatriotic, that I am un-American, that I am filled with hate speech, that I have a cult at Trinity United Church of Christ. And by the way, guess who goes to his church, hint, hint, hint? That’s what they wanted to communicate.”
Yes, that’s about right. Because it’s all true.
And Wright says Obama renounced him just for political reasons:
Mr. Obama publicly denounced Mr. Wright’s remarks, a reaction Mr. Wright said “went down very simply.”
“He’s a politician, I’m a pastor,” he said. “We speak to two different audiences. And he says what he has to say as a politician. I say what I have to say as a pastor. But they’re two different worlds.”
He added, “I do what I do. He does what politicians do. So that what happened in Philadelphia where he had to respond to the sound bytes, he responded as a politician.”

Rev. Wright Defends His Racist Anti-American Comments
Thu, Apr 24, 2008 at 11:24:11 am PST
_____________________________________________________________________________
So, USofKKKA, white oppressors, rich white people, G#d D#mn America, chickens coming home to roost, AIDS invented by the US government to kill black people, bombs invented by South Africa and Israel to kill arabs and black people, garlic nosed Italians…ad nauseum are what? Theology? Good luck selling that. Wright is a bigot, he hails Farakhan, he visits Ghaddafi with Farakhan..Wright needs to keep quiet on his “I’m a man of God” act. It’s not very convincing. Neither are you Arie/Ari.
And Obama’s intimate relationship with Wright, Ayers, Michelle Obama’s rhetoric all point to unsettling questions about a man telling us he’s a “uniter”. His record in the Senator speaks even less of that.
typo: his record in the Senate…..
David Horowitz writes:
“When the Bush administration belatedly began expanding Iran’s surrogate war against the United States in Iraq, Iranian leaders seized on arguments already made by American leftists in their psychological war against the United States. Iran’s ambassador to the United nations, Javad Zarif, wrote that America had “invaded Iraq on false pretenses” and was now “trying to make Iran its scapegoatand fabricating evidence of Iranian activities in Iraq.” Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Mohammad Ali Hossaini similarly assured reporters, “Lots of this evidence is fake, artificial. For example when they wanted to start a war in iraq, they make [up] plenty of evidence that there were lots of weapons in Iraq.”
I am tired of the Democrats making stuff up to make themselves look good. The radical Islamist all over the world use their comments against the United States of America.
The following is General Patraeus’s own words on Iran:
“The recent flare-up in Basrah, southern Iraq, and Baghdad underscored the importance of the cease-fire declared by Moqtada al-Sadr last fall as another factor in the overall reduction in violence. Recently, of course, some militia elements became active again. Though a Sadr standdown order resolved the situation to a degree, the flare-up also highlighted the destructive role Iran has played in funding, training, arming, and directing the so-called Special Groups and generated renewed concern about Iran in the minds of many Iraqi leaders. Unchecked, the Special Groups pose the greatest long-term threat to the viability of a democratic Iraq.”
Patraeus goes further in stating the threat of Iran. I am tired of America Democrats ignoring these facts. I want MCain to win… and I want Mccain to shut up the Democrats and the Iranians who have been lying…honesty is so important in ALL aspects of life.
GOP SOLUTION TO HEALTH CARE,GAS PRICE,MORGAGE CRISES,FOOD SURGAGE,WORLD PROBLEM ,AIDS ETC GOP SOLUTOIN:reveren wright,reveren wright,reveren wright,reverend wright,reverend wright,reverend wright america it time u choose
Ed, more rhetoric…let’s take it point by point…first..health care crisis..Ed..what crisis…there is no health care crisis. The vast majority of Americans HAVE health care insurance. Those that don’t have several options to get adequate heath care. Most states have plans for those without insurance, and no one in America dies or is turned away from a hospital due to inability to pay. Let’s take a look at those people that have no insurance, per say. Why don’t they have their own policy? What percentage of these people opt for a better car, better housing, cell phones, computer, cable TV, computer game systems, a whole list of items THEY deem necessary in their lives, and can’t really afford, but buy rather than insurance. Why must I give up MY health care plan, and go to some crummy national plan, just because they want things more that they can ill afford.
Let’s skip over gas & do mortgage”crisis” because it’s the same thing, people gambled and purchased housing they could ill afford, spent money on other items that they didn’t need, and now have a problem. My daughter has a married friend that bought a home worth 2-3 times my modest home with currently $1000.00 equity in it. They’ve got 5 credit cards maxed out, are still paying school loans, and both drive newer cars. It’s their choice to live that way. If they default on their mortagage, why must I bail them out? This bail out of banks that hold these debts is causing INFLATION.
As to gas prices, blame the LEFT for that. We have enough oil here in the US to last 1000 years, but the envioro nuts won’t let us drill, won’t allow new refineries, demand special blends of gas
to support their myth of global warming. In fact that takes us to food prices. The LEFT again supported and pushed for the greatest idiotic idea in 100 year. Forcing us to buy a product that is worse for our cars, takes more energy to produce, gives worse gas mileage, and causes our food to be burned in our tanks causing higher food prices, and is causing more starving in 3rd world countries because they can no longer afford to buy cheap US surpluses.
I say show it. The pastor wants to come out and talk all soft and he is now saying he is a object of hatred. Well now Wright knows how whites feels when hated for his preachings. We are not hating him we are practicing “America theology”.
Would you expect anything else from Rev wright other then playing the victim? Barack has been doing it his entire campaign.
Censure the NC GOP by not allowing them seats at the Convention? I guess that if he did that then he could lose alot of republicans over to the democrats side of things!! I mean if he is going to be a wimp, then he don’t need to be president! We need someone that is strong and who will stand up for whats right. To disallow seats at the convention is a democrat thing, is he wanting to be like the liberal democrats? I like McCain but he is making me think here in North Carolina.
NO MORE DEBATES says Obama, ofcourse he fears more questions about his closed, influencial antiamerican friends.
http://www.audacityofhypocrisy.com/
Obama runs with quite the crew!
Unpatriotic Obama had no business running for President to start with. BIIG MISTAKE TO ALLOW HIM.
The antiamerican, hateful statements by Obama’s friends should continue to run. Blind voters have to start seeing reality and not just look at this race as a win or lose game, This is not a game its a serious Presidential race!.
J. Macain nor Hillary are hurting Obama, are Obama’s antiamerican, hatefull friends who have destroyed his chances for President, also Obamas lack of patriotism have left much to be desired.
Sen. McCain needs to rethink his comment about North Carolina’s republican party being out of touch with the way people really feel and thing. In this instance at least he is the one out of touch. I wish I lived in N.C. These are finally politicians saying what they think instead of what they think people want to hear because of poll results. I wish more of the republican party would say what they really believe – and by the way, most people I know do agree with this ad.
FACTS WHY BOTH McCAIN & OBAMA WANTS SENATOR HILLARY CLINTON DROP OUT NOW:
Both Obama and McCain knows this.
ELECTORAL VOTES is the most important count in the general election. HILLARY IS FAR MORE AHEAD IN THE ELECTORAL VOTES AS OF THIS TIME.
This is why Senator Hillary Clinton will win this November if she’s the nominee.
That’s why John McCain is insisting to remove the AD in television that will deminish Obama’s electability. The Ad reflecting the association of Obama to some controversial figures such as Racist Pastor Jeremiah Wright Jr., Ayers, Rezko, etc., are one of the many reasons why Obama is losing in some states. McCain and GOP knew they can easily beat Obama than Hillary Clinton.
That’s also the purpose of Operation Chaos by the GOP to create a perception in the minds of the Clinton’s supporters, that Hillary is just winning because of this operation to deceive and destroy the faith of those who support the good senator from New York. But in reality this operation chaos is trying to help Obama the weakest candidate in the party and at the same time creating divisions among the democrats. GOP Surrogates are playing with the Democrats and are pretending that they are questioning Obama’s character, but at the same time saying that Senator Clinton has no way to overtake obama in the pledge delegates and popular votes by insisting that MI and FL should not be counted “AS PER DNC RULES”…
Obama also was advised by GOP people to avoid debating Clinton till after Indiana and NC primaries…(According to Obama insider…????)
Obama Camp is now arguing that Senator Clinton is the most hated candidate and therefore will lose against McCain. This is included in the GOP plan to paint Senator Clinton as the most Hated Candidate than Obama and therefore can’t win. Right now, the GOP was able to infiltrate the Democrats through “OPERATION CHAOS”. GOP is also “USING RACE CARD” in their favor to create divisions among DEMOCRATS. GOP surrogates (Hannity, Limbaugh, etal.) are reporting any thing that will touch racism especially if it involve anybody from the Clinton Camp and are very happy with the result as of this moment.
DNC LEADERS AND ELDERS must know this facts!
They must call for UNITY A.S.A.P. within the Party before it is too late and
MUST SUPPORT SENATOR CLINTON to win back the White House in this November election.
GOP will be very happy if Obama (the weakest candidate) get the nod by the DNC Leaders.
But they are ready on DAY 1 and all prepared to DESTROY OBAMA if he becomes the nominee.
VOTE SENATOR HILLARY CLINTON ‘08 AS PRESIDENT!!!
From a conservative Republican neighbor to your South-North Carolina Republicans:John McCain would not rule out censuring you by refusing to seat your delegation at the Convention because you defied his edict to stop running your ad rightfully linking Obama and Wright.Reject this arrogant liberal!Refuse to contribute tio his campaign,refuse to work for his election,and finally write in the name of a real conservative in November.McCain has stuck his finger in the eyes of conservatives too many times.Now he must pay the piper for his betrayals.We will not be threatened by this megalomaniac!
REV. WRIGHT TOLD THE TRUTH. LISTEN TO THE ENTIRE SERMON AND IF YOU ARE NOT A RACIST YOU MIGHT UNDERSTAND WHERE HE IS COMING FROM!!!!!!! THERE HAS BEEN CORRUPTION IN THIS GOVERNMENT. THERE HAS BEEN GOOD AND BAD!!!!!! HE DOESN”T HATE AMERICA OR WHITE PEOPLE. YOU ALL ARE ILL INFORMED.
PREPARE FOR YOUR NEW PRESIDENT
BARACK HUSSAIN OBAMA ‘2008
McCain has shown himself to be a coward. He refuses to do battle to defeat the most vile and destructive candidate in American History. He’s dishonored his party by allowing this “spawn of satan” to go unchecked, and to consort with the Democratic Party, the black hole of pure EVIL.
I can’t wait to see how red your necks get when OBAMA is in the Oval office. You racist losers. You can’t prevent positive progress. Grow up and get a life thats not filled with hate. HA HA HA HA !!!!!!!!
BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA ‘2008
Obama is a wimp and not very bright, he’ll be a puppet in the Oval Office for the terrorist buddies that are his “mentors”.
OBAMA SAVES AMERICA
GOING TO CHURCH IS ABOUT FORGIVENESS OF OUR SINS AND LOVE OF OUR LORD AND SAVIOR. NOT ABOUT POLITICS. YOU GO TO HEAR ABOUT GOODNESS. THIS REV WRIGHT IS AN OUT AND OUT RACIST. I ASK YOU HOW MANY POOR NON BLACKS DID TRINITY UNITED HELP? WHAT OTHER CHURCH SEPARATES ITSELF BY RACE? NOT TO MENTION LIES RIGHT THERE ON THE PULPIT . SORRY BUT OBAMA WILL NEVER GET ELECTED AND IN A WAY ITS SAD BECAUSE IF HE WAS MORE UNIFIED IN HIS METHOD OF THINKING HE MIGHT BE THE FIRST HALF BLACK HALF WHITE PRESIDENT.BUT HIS MENTALITY ON RACE AND HIS WIFES WAY OF THINKING WOULD CLEARLY BE A SEPARATION OF BLACKS AND WHITES AND TAX DOLLARS WOULD BE ALLOCATED AND DISPERSED UNEQUALLY. CRIMES COMMITED BY BLACKS WOULD BE EXCUSED AND EXPONGED BASED ON THERE ECONOMIC AND RACIAL BACKGROUND INSTEAD OF BEING RESPONSIBLE FOR THERE OWN ACTIONS AND DEEDS. HILLARY AT THIS POINT COULD POSSIBLY WIN IT IN THE GENERAL BUT NOT OBAMA.
Rj, Don’t be too sure that McCain will win. He’s running a very weak campaign. My fear is that the GOP will be backing their version of Jimmy “the wimp” Carter. We all remember Carter as perhaps the worst President of the 20th century. A kind of “evil” Mr. Rogers.
Jeff X.
I think Mccain is still keeping a lid on it.
He is saving the fight for the nominee.
I don’t think for a second McCain or those who support him will hold back in the campaign for the general.
McCain is smart. Why fight them both, when only one can be the nominee.
Even if the Dems share a ticket, McCain is stockpiling his information.
Judging by what Fred Thompson discussed with Hannity the other night, the Republicans are well aware of Obama’s connections.
Thompson said he doesn’t want any friend of Wright or Ayers anywhere near the White House.
They know! They are not about to tip their hand…..Yet!
Jeff X.
You are right, though.
McCian needs to show spunk as well as class and dignity.
I believe mentioning his temper has put him on guard.
Forget the being nice all the time!
He should show a little bit of fight soon, so he doesn’t continue to look weak.
He needs to show his strong side too!
typo “McCain”!
JoAnne,
While the GOP may have ammo stockpiled to use against the DEM nominee, I sincerely believe that McCain will try to suppress it. He may of been a warrior at some point of his life but I believe he’s become weak. He thinks more of his “friendly status” with the Democrats in the Senate. I truly believe that keeping his “friendship” with the Democrats is more important to him than defeating a dangerous, for America, candidate. In this way he can go back to the Senate after losing in November and he’ll be greeted with open arms by his Democrat friends that’ll tell him what a wonderful, “honorable” campaign he ran. Frankly, if he wasn’t going to defeat the Democrats in November, then WHY run at all. He makes me sick.
If what the ads were saying about Obama were untrue I could more understand why Senator McCain would state he wants them pulled. They are true and real therefore no worries to Senator McCain’s campaign message of integrity. It is the righteous and responsible thing to do to allow truth to be shown to the American people. We want to know and have the right to know who this person is and who his associations are. Though we really do already know enough about Obama to have disqualified him, keeping the truth about him out there is crucial. We are a very forgiving and noble society and this absolutely needs to be kept in the public arena right to the end of this presidential election. Especially for our young people who are very inexperienced in having political insight, to see for themselves. Many of our young people sit in college classrooms with very biased professors spewing their political opinions while they wear the impressive crown of educator. Their opinions have great influence over the students. And then their political mumbo jumbo is fully supported by the biased majority of the media. We have a very visual world. Let them see and hear for themselves. Our children need to know what the truth is.
After all, isn’t the truth what Obama says he wants?
I am praying Senator McCain does not compromise his strength in this race by letting Obama’s transparent talent for twisting words make a difference in this election. Let the truth come out Senator McCain. And by the way Sir, if you do indeed have a bit of a temper, don’t worry about that scaring the American people. It’s exactly what the enemy needs to know. Anything Obama’s campaign can say about that won’t make a bit of difference. Having a president who isn’t a whimp makes me feel all warm and fuzzy. God Bless America.
I agree McCain is beginning to look weak.
I also believe Mcain may be keeping a lid on it for now.
Why fight both Dems, when only one can be the nominee?
Judging by what Fred Thompson was discussing with Hannity the other night, the Republicans are well aware of the unsavory connections Obama has.
Fred Thompson told Hannity he didn’t want any friend of Wright or Ayers anywhere near the White House!
The republicans are not tipping their hand.
I do agree McCain needs to show some spunk very soon.
However he needs to choose carefully on the subject to go after first.
The Dems still might put both on their ticket.
Jeff X.
I am worried about the country.
If McCain doesn’t start showing some of his famous temper, We may be out of options!
Draft Jesse Ventura?
If the Republicans know all about Obama’s connections, they should start speaking out, very loud and very clear.
The country is at a crossroads.
The bloggers have put it all out there.
I have sent links and info to the Repubs myself.
There is no denying it.
The Party is not the only ones they are responsible to.
What about the people?
Are they going to let this movement called Obama take over, or are they going to step-up?

I am switching to the new thread. I’m overlapping comments.
“Hamas endorsement”.

LOLOL..Ventura…LOL….
Actually I think they’re spiking McCains Geritol with tranquilizers.
McCain will be in the White House this coming November 2008 election.
He is honest, straight, and with guts to face any danger this extremist will do for America.
He is the kind of president America needs at present.
Not Hillary nor Barack Hussein Muhammed Obama.
obama all the way!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i’m white not black
obamas a boy
im aboy
McCain should be following the Republican Party of North Carolina’s lead and complimenting them for bringing out the truth. He is making it harder and harder for me to support him.
The Reverand Wright ad which is playing in my state of North Carolina is filled with facts. The two t.v. stations that refused to air the ads are keeping facts from the North Carolinians and it was solely the decisions of the station managers.
The Democratic Party is coddling Senator Obama and they have to cut it out. The Democratic Party has proven over and over again they are no match for the Republicans. I can’t stay with the Democratic Party unless HillRock gets the nomination…those Clintons are the only ones who can counterpunch with any effectiveness against the Republicans.

A Brief for Whitey
by Patrick J. Buchanan
Posted 03/21/2008 ET
Barack says we need to have a conversation about race in America .
Fair enough. But this time, it has to be a two-way conversation. White America needs to be heard from, not just lectured to.
This time, the Silent Majority needs to have its convictions, grievances and demands heard. And among them are these:
First, America has been the best country on earth for black folks. It was here that 600,000 black people, brought from Africa in slave ships, grew into a community of 40 million, were introduced to Christian salvation, and reached the greatest levels of freedom and prosperity blacks have ever known.
Wright ought to go down on his knees and thank God he is an American.
Second, no people anywhere has done more to lift up blacks than white Americans. Untold trillions have been spent since the ’60s on welfare, food stamps, rent supplements, Section 8 housing, Pell grants, student loans, legal services, Medicaid, Earned Income Tax Credits and poverty programs designed to bring the African-American com munity into the mainstream.
Governments, businesses and colleges have engaged in discrimination against white folks — with affirmative action, contract set-asides and quotas — to advance black applicants over white applicants.
Churches, foundations, civic groups, schools and individuals all over America have donated time and money to supp ort soup kitchens, adult education, day care, retirement and nursing homes for blacks.
We hear the grievances. Where is the gratitude?
Barack talks about new ‘ladders of opportunity’ for blacks.
Let him go to Altoona and Johnstown , and ask the white kids in Catholic schools how many were visited lately by Ivy League recruiters handing out scholarships for ‘deserving’ white kids.
Is whi te America really responsible for the fact that the crime and incarceration rates for African-Americans are seven times those of white America ? Is it really white America ’s fault that illegitimacy in the African-American community has hit 70 percent and the black dropout rate from high schools in some cities has reached 50 percent ?
Is that the fault of white America or, first and foremost, a failure of the black community itself?
As for racism, its ugliest manifestation is in interracial crime, and especially interracial crimes of violence. Is Barack Obama aware that while white criminals choose black victims 3 percent of the time, black criminals choose white victims 45 percent of the time?
Is Barack aware t hat black-on-white rapes are 100 times more common than the reverse, that black-on-white robberies were 139 times as common in the first three years of this decade as the reverse?
We have all heard ad nauseam from the Rev. Al about Tawana Brawley, the Duke rape case and Jena . And all turned out to be hoaxes. But about the epidemic of black assaults on whites that are real, we hear nothing.
Sorry, Barack, some of us have heard it all before, about 40 years and 40 trillion tax dollars ago.
I am surprised that none of the pundits get what the Obama campaign is doing. They used to call it “innoculation.”
By Wright stirring up the controversy now, the voters will eventually get tired of hearing about it and, by the time the general election comes along, folks will say, “That’s old news! When are you going to get off it and onto the real issues?”
We will be vaccinated against being sickened by the whole Wright issue and Obama will sail through as a non-dangerous pathogen.
I’m glad there are still Christians that are willing to stand up for the truth of Gods word and not be shaken by the deceit of this nation!!!
Many in America especially those that want of hate Rev. Wright and / or Obama as well as those that are just simply ignorant to the word of God question Rev.Wright’s sermon and goes as far as to ask WHY DOES OBAMA CONTINUE TO REMAIN IN CHURCH THAT TEACHES SUCH HATE FOR NATION??
I have a series of questions for you.
Why have you and why do you continue to remain in a church who’s pastor is FULLY AWARE of the injustices that hurt God’s people (All people), the sins of this nation and others YET THEY SAY NOTHING? They allow the laws of nation to blind them to God’s laws. They have more fear of nation than God. They have allowed the nation;s laws to blind justice. They know what God says about these things yet they remain SILENT and allow you to remain in ignorance. “My people are destroyed by a lack of knowledge.” These pastors are more guilty in the eyes of God than Rev. Wright. If you know to do right, but don’t it is a SIN!! Telling God’s truth regardless of who it stings is what they are called to do. Let the word of God stand on it own, let the chips fall where they may!! Preach the word of God in season and out of season, When people what to hear it and when they don’t PREACH THE WORD OF GOD!! When they like it and when they don’t PREACH THE WORD OF GOD!!
This concept that there is a separation of Church & State with the State (Nation) given more praise and recognition and authority than the God that we claim to fear is an insult to Him and will be the down fall to this nation.
How can you reason that God agrees that there is a separation of Church & State when EVERY preacher and prophet in the bible addressed the issues of the nations?What if the prophets of old had revered the people over God?
How can you challenge the authority of Gods word because it hurts you pride in this nation? What exactly about Rev. Wright’s sermon do you have a problem with was it a lie, was it the tone of voice or was it that he addressed your race? “Gird up the loins of your minds with TRUTHS”
Are you in a church that only focuses on the softer nature of God, his being peaceful, loving, kind, forgiving, patient, merciful while skimming or not even touching the furious nature? He IS the great I AM and that does not just mean only what you want him to be, he’s all that he needs to be, ALL that he IS. He’s a God of justice giving ALL men their due just. This includes America AND Americans!
Why do you value your pride in this nation and your race over and above God’s truth? Do you not understand that you can not truly claim to be God fearing when you do this! You do not have to like Rev. Wright or the things he said, but search our the TRUTH that’s in it.
Do you really think that Obama is racist based on his ex pastors words, that is nonsense!!!
How can you Christians go along with this, why do you allow the media and others to put faith in God on display like this? Do you not know that when they do this they are attacking ALL Christians to include you?? Is your hatred or lack of understanding more important to you than God’s truth or FAITH. If so you are no better than what you fear and dislike about Obama and Rev. Wright! O.K. Don’t vote for Obama, but don’t allow God’s word to be played with like this by media, if you find something wrong with sermons go to your pastor ask him or her to address it, but don’t continue to be weak Christians. Take a stand, but do it the right way and demand that it be handled right by media and nonbelievers.
This is a call for TRUE CHRISTIANS to take a stance. Christians of convenience and admittedly non Christians need not respond, for the sake of confusion that is.
This dude cant even control his own parrty
McCain should be Obama’s VP.
McCain …… Get out the GOP while you can!!!!! They don’t love you
I would bet my house that over 95% percent of the folks bashing Wright have not even saw the whole sermon “God **** America”.
It may be an eye opener to how the devious ones packaged up the snippets to mislead you. And I would challenge anyone to tell me what’s not true about it.
Also I would challenge anyone to show me how Wright’s comment are worse than Hagee’s Katrina comments.
mcCain needs all the help he can get from his party, he is not a Democrat so he should stop trying to be this good fair guy & turn the other cheek. He will be hammerd in the general election & un;ess he shows the country what his rivals are all about.he wont win.
He has to show & expose his rivals for what rats they really are.
The great efforts of the left wing media to sanitized the Rev. Wright is not working & I still view him as a racist black nut who has captured Obama & his family attention for the last 20 yrs preaching hate & seperation from the evil white man.
They can both go straight to hell.
He may be alright for you black folks but not for the rest of the 68% of Americans.
You can not win with your current horse. Sorry!
Obama has been running a dirty campaign and is so arrogant I stand the sight of him. I’m glad people are getting the chance to see Obama’s buddy, Rev. Wright
CANT stand the sight of him
In 1961, a young African-American man, after hearing President John F. Kennedy’s challenge to, “Ask not what your country can do for you, but what you can do for your country,” gave up his student deferment, left college in Virginia and voluntarily joined the Marines. In 1963, this man, having completed his two years of service in the Marines, volunteered again to become a Navy corpsman. (They provide medical assistance to the Marines as well as to Navy personnel.) The man did so well in corpsman school that he was the valedictorian and became a cardiopulmonary technician. Not surprisingly, he was assigned to the Navy’s premier medical facility, Bethesda Naval Hospital, as a member of the commander in chief’s medical team, and helped care for President Lyndon B. Johnson after his 1966 surgery. For his service on the team, which he left in 1967, the White House awarded him three letters of commendation. What is even more remarkable is that this man entered the Marines and Navy not many years after the two branches began to become integrated. While this young man was serving six years on active duty, Vice President Dick Cheney, who was born the same year as the Marine/sailor, received five deferments, four for being an undergraduate and graduate student and one for being a prospective father. Presidents Bill Clinton and George W. Bush, both five years younger than the African-American youth, used their student deferments to stay in college until 1968. Both then avoided going on active duty through family connections. Who is the real patriot? The young man who interrupted his studies to serve his country for six years or our three political leaders who beat the system? Are the patriots the people who actually sacrifice something or those who merely talk about their love of the country? After leaving the service of his country, the young African-American finished his final year of college, entered the seminary, was ordained as a minister, and eventually became pastor of a large church in one of America’s biggest cities. This man is Rev. Jeremiah Wright, the retiring pastor of Trinity United Church of Christ, who has been in the news for comments he made over the last three decades. Let us not forget that this is a man who gave up six of the most productive years of his life to serve his country.
Yes, great idea, Tammy! Vote for Hillary Clinton, who conjured up a false story by saying that she landed under sniper fire in Bosnia! This lie is one of many that she has been dishing out over the years. We really need a third liar in the white house, don’t we? At least Barack accepted that he had associated with the pastor and admitted it fully.
Let’s end the BillClinton/Bush Jr. lying streak with someone who actually has some moral integrity.
Think outside the box, folks. There are other candidates than Hillary, Barack, and McCain…. Some of said other candidates might actually have a better platform…. You never know until you do some research for yourself.
I’m glad that the media is making so many of your choices for you. That eliminates any need for the people to find things out for themselves, and also saves the parties alot of trouble, to boot.
Still, the fact remains, none of the three Senators from the most failed Senate in History, are a desireable candidate for President of the United States of America. This vote is for McCain in a feeble attempt to avoid Socialism.
I am a citizen of this great nation, and I would just like to say that for the first time in my lifetime of voting that I am more than confident that you are going to be a history writing President. You protected me for 5 years in that hell while I could have been fast asleep tucked away at 3 o’clock in the morning…haha. I take in ever world I hear you speak and take it with me in my mind. You are a great man and I would be honored to have you speak for me and ever other person in the world. It’s go time you, spirited person, that you grab the bull by the horns and lead this great country you so love and be President.
Wow, comment by just me. Facts do not lie. I think that what white people have to understand is that it only has been 60 years. Yes all those programs are there for the children, but what about the parents, shouldn’t we educate everyone of all races and genders? See there needs to be some expectation that the parents are going to parent.
I agree with your point of this article. Empower yourself and then and only then will racism be a little more blind, which is the goal. I think we need to check out the % of people from all races and what the ratio to all races is.
I say be black be proud…be so proud that you stand up to that drug dealer and say you are not my friend, you need to step up about what your children are learning. Do you really want another generation of YOU. I say that to all.
With each generation the world should become better, that’s all we can hope to do in this crazy world. So I say to all the naysayers lets clean up this world and lets start at home…..um as far as the public is concerned. Am I bad for saying that. Oh well, tomorrow this will still be waiting for us for U.S.A. to handle.

John, let’s not forget that Benedict Arnold also served in the American Army. In fact, he was a General.
FOLLOW THE MONEY … CONNECT THE DOTS:
Obama–>Rezko–>Nadhmi Auchi–>Saddam Hussein & Muammar al-Gaddafi–>Jeremiah Wright, Louis Farrakhan, and Raila Odinga–>Sheik Abdullahi Abdi)–>Raila Odinga–>Obama–>Bill Ayers & Bernadine Dorhn–>Obama–>Rashid Khalidi–>Obama–>Rezko–>Jabir Herbert Muhammad–>Farrakhan–>Obama
WITH S0-CALLED AMERICANS LIKE OBAMA, WHO NEEDS AL QAEDA?
I DO NOT TRUST OBAMA!
The DNC has destroyed the Democratic Party. I do hope the Democratic Party has learned their lesson to not let anyone run for the presidency as a Democrat without being fully vetted. If the Press had been more responsible and exposed Obama earlier he would NEVER have won as many states as he did. Most likely, John Edwards would have won.
The media suppressed the information for months and let voters be deceived. They attacked Hillary and puffed up Obama trying to run this election. Voters deserved to be informed of Obama’s associations with radical, Anti American, racist, white hating, criminals and terrorists. It goes to the man’s judgment of who he chooses to be in the company with. He has told too many lies about too many issues.
We are the 50 United States of America — not 48! The citizens of Florida and Michigan should be counted.
Be careful who you vote for!
Last time I checked, Florida and Michigan were part of the 50 UNITED States. Constitutionally, how can you elect a president for the 50 UNITED States with only counting 48 of them? As for Pelosi, she is getting obnoxious and acts like a bimbo at times. Sometimes, she looks like she is in the bag with something, booze or some drug. Sometimes she slurs her words and seems to have a problem putting a thought together. I think she has turned out a mess as Speaker. Scares me she is 3rd in line for the presidency. That would be tragic if she ended up in the oval office. THEN, our country would seem like child’s play under Bush compared to what she would do to it.
As for this race bit, we were handling it calmly, peacefully for the most part, slowly and gradually until Obama come on the scene and started stirring the pot. This so called “uniter” is really dividing the country by “using” the blacks for his own selfish ambitions. Isn’t it strange how this 1/2 white boy turned all black all of a sudden. He must not have cared for his mother the way he has thrown her memory under the bus when it suited him.
It isn’t Clinton using the race card, it is Obama “USING” the black community for his own ambitions. This upsets me because it means the blacks are throwing away their chance to have a competent black president down the line for this inexperienced, devious “Brownie.” It is not his color that is turning us off, it is all the baggage and bad judgments in his short career that comes with him. We can’t afford “Bone-headed mistakes” and “Mis-speaks” in this troubled world.

Let’s not forget, this man (Wright) also believes Israel and South Africa invented a bomb to kill arabs and black people (only). That AIDS was invented to kill black people. That drugs have been distributed to the black community to abuse as some form of genocide. Let’s not forget his audacity of hope speech’s “white greed”. Or white oppressors, or USofKKKA, or his equating the US government with the likes of al Qaeada.

Rather that hurling uninformed blather as some kind of argument, how about you grasp the reality. John McCain has no legal means to halt any ads not associated with his campaign directly. He has no authority to force the North Carolina GOP to retract the ads. He spoke against the ad, ask for the ad to be respectfully halted. That’s all he’s permitted to do.
I can understand why you bleated what you did though…it’s the nature of the far left to assert that government should “fix” everything for everyone.
We tried that…it was called the USSR. It failed.
If Mc Cain cannot command respect from his state representatives….
I don’t set much of an expectation he can influence the national party much.
Let’s face it….he’s all for someone else getting the dirty hands or
he’s not the leader he sets himself out to be.

_________________________________________________________________
Commanding respect and having the authority to order a state campaign to retract a commercial that has no association to his own presidential campaign are two very different things. McCain doesn’t snap his fingers and the party jumps…that’s not how it works. If you fail to understand the authorities and dynamics of a presumptive nominee’s Federal election campaign and an underlying state election running concurrently..you have my deepest sympathy.
Again, because you seem to not understand this fundamental…McCain may be the presumptive nominee for the Republican party, but he has no offical capacity or authority to order anyone at a state level to retract a campaign ad and they inturn to be obliged to obey him. I think you’re thinking of how communism works.
Speaking of respect however,
If Obama commanded respect, Hillary wouldn’t be taunting him about cancelling a scheduled debate.
BARAK OBAMA OWES ME AN APOLOGY. I am a registered democrat in Wilmington, North Carolina.
For almost a month now, Barak Obama has made insulting comments, “typical white person” “bitter and cling to their religion” and his wife said “first time in my adult life that I have ever been proud of America”. All that added with Obama’s refusal to distance himself from Reverend Wright has made it impossible for me to support him. If Hillary Clinton loses the Democratic Primary, I shall donate to, work for and vote for John McCain.
It is disgusting that political correctness allows for 90% of African Americans to vote for Barak Obama BUT when he doesn’t get a majority of the white vote, we are called racist. Think about how morally repugnant that double standard is.
I am an Irish Catholic and my ancestors came over in the 1860’s to escape starvation during the potato famine. As the men got off the boat, they were transcript into the Union Army to fight to abolish slavery. After the Civil War, they built this country, served in World War I, survived the Depression and served in World War II only to see their ancestors insulted and told “Irish Need Not Apply” and later to have African Americans score lower on Civil service Exams and College Entrance Exams but receive preferential treatment.
Enough is enough and THIS DISGRACEFUL DOUBLE STANDARD is precisely while Barak Obama is going to lose.
DEAR JOHN,
STOP BEING SO RIGHTIOUS
STOP WASTING YOUR TIME IN SOMETHING YOU CAN NOT CONTROL, BUT INSTEAD MAKES ENEMIES.
REQUEST !!!!
NEXT TIME SOMEONE BLAMES THE “BUSH ADMINISTRATION”
PLEASE REPLY BY SYING CONGRESS PASSES THE LAWS NOT THE PRESIDENT
FRED C.
He ( Obama )brings his children to that church to hear that! That is all you need to Know!!
Hilary wants an “Old-fashioned debate.” So, she and Obama should have a duel, the survivor to face McCain.
TODAY, THE DNC STRUCK A “MONEY DEAL” WITH OBAMA. THIS JUST MIGHT ASSURE HIM THE VOTES OF THE SUPER-DELEGATES. WE NEED TO GET RID OF DEAN, PELOSI, REID, KENNEDY AND KERRY.
HOW SAD FOR ALL AMERICANS. OUR VOTES DON’T MATTER — MONEY DOES!
WE NEED TO CLEAN OUT OUR WHITE HOUSE. WE NEED NEW REPRESENTATIVES FOR ALL 50 STATES! THINK BEFORE YOU VOTE FOR SENATORS AND CONGRESS MEMBERS.
VOTE HILLARY 2008!
i think you have the right idea (4mycountry). Hopefully someone is listening.
this message for obs,hills, tuna pelosi and all of you extremist lefties, Birkenstock wearing, tree hugging cold bleeding heart iberal democrat!!!is an extremist lefty, Birkenstock wearing, tree hugging cold bleeding heart liberal democrats!!!
WAKE UP AMERICA!!! ( sorry mc texas if I changed your title & thank you so much)
Bet you stand up and say HELL YEAH! After you read this: YES I DID!!!
I don’t think being a minority makes you a victim of anything except numbers the only things I can think of that are truly discriminatory are things as like United Negro College Fund, Jet Magazine, Black Entertainment = and Miss Black America
I like big cars, big boats, big motorcycles, big houses and big campfires
I believe the money I make belongs to me and my family, not to some governmental stooge with a bad comb-over who wants to give it away = to crack addicts for squiting out babies. Guns do not make you a killer. You can kill someone with a baseball bat or a car but no one is trying to ban the car you’re driving to the baseball game or = the baseball bats
I believe they are called Boy Scouts for a reason, = that s why there are no girls allowed. Girls belong in the Girl S couts!
try to have things like the United Caucasian College Fund, Cloud Magazine
White Entertainment Television or Miss White America and see what happens. Jessie Jackson, good ole boy Louis Farakhan, Al Sharpton will be knocking and = breaking down your door
I have the right NOT to be tolerant of others because they are diferent, weird or tick me off. When 70% + of the people who get arrested are black, in cities where 70%+ of the population is black that is not racial profiling, it is the law of statistics
I know what sex is and there are not varying degrees of it. = if I received sex from one of my subordinates in my office, it wouldn’t be a = a private matter or my personal business. I would be FIRED immediately!
I believe that if you are selling me a milk shake, a pack of cigarettes, a newspaper or I ‘m in a hotel room, you must do it in ENGLISH! = as a matter of fact, if you want to be an American citizen you should have to speak = ENGLISH!!!
My father and grandfather should have not died in vain so you can = leave your countries you were born in to come over to AMERICA and disrespect ours. I think the police should have every right to shoot your sorry ass if you threaten them
after they tell you to STOP! If you can not understand the word FREEZE OR STOP in ENGLISH, see above lines.
I feel much safer letting a machine with no political affiliation & recount votes if needed. I know what the definition of LYING is. I don’t think just because you were not born in this country, you are qualified for any special loan programs, government sponsored bank loans or tax breaks, etc., so you can open so you can open a hotel, trinket store or any business.
We did not come to the aid of foreign countries and risk our lives in wars, died, humiliated, spit on, experimented on, tortured and beheaded to defend their freedoms while we play fair according to our Constitution.
So that decades later they could go to AMERICA and tell us that our Constitution is a = living document and open to their own interpretations. I don’t hate the rich, I don’t pity the poor, I know wrestling is fake but so are movies, and television and that doesn’t stop you from watching them. I believe a self righteous liberal or conservatives with a cause is more dangerous than HELL’S ANGEL with an attitude.
I think Bill Gates has every right to keep every penny he made and continue to make more. If it ticks you off, go and invent the next operating system that’s better and put your name on the building. Ask your buddy that invented the I internet to help you.
it doesn’t take a village to raise a child right, but it does take a parent to stand up to the kid and smack his/her little ass if necessary and after you say NO!
i think tatoos are fine if you want them, but please don’t pretend they are political statement. Please stay home until that new lip ring heals, I don’t want to look at your ugly infected mouth as you serve me French fries.
I am sick of POLITICAL CORRECTNESS and all of the suck ups that go along with it (extremist lefty, Birkenstock wearing, tree hugging cold bleeding heart iberal democrat!!!is an extremist lefty, Birkenstock wearing, tree hugging cold bleeding heart liberal democrat!!!
I know a lot of black people, and not a single one of them was born in Africa so how can they be AFRICAN AMERICANS??? besides, Africa is a continent. I don’a go around saying I am a European American, because my great, great, great, great, great, great Grandfather was from Europe. I am very proud to be an AMERICAN, WAS BORN AND WILL DIE HERE IN my country AMERICA and nowhere else and if you don’t like my point of view, TOUGH!!! GET OVER IT!!! OR GO BACK TO YOUR BELOVED COUNTRY AFRICA, whatever hole you came from. IN GOD WE TRUST, if you don’t like it don’t spend you money!!! [because it is written on every piece that you have!]
WAKE UP AMERICA, SEND THIS TO ALL WHILE YOU CAN STILL DO IT FOR FREE AND WHILE YOU STILL HAVE A COUNTRY TO WAKE UP TO !!!
Obama is making a huge mistake by not debating Hillary. We all know their policies are similar ,but when they debate the American people have a clearer picture of who is the better candidate of the two. He can’t debate — he can only read pretty speeches from a teleprompter.
We all know that she is better than he is in these debates, but he should try to show the American people that he can also be good. By not accepting to debate her , he is showing a weakness and I do not think it’s good for him.
The American people want a strong President — someone who can fight for them to get things done; however, Obama is showing that he is not capable of confronting the tough issues.
VOTER PHOTO ID’s SHOULD BE REQUIRED IN ALL STATES! TOO MANY “DEAD” PEOPLE HAVE VOTED!
HILLARY 2008!
Hillary Won’t Back Down Video
** 50 DEBATES, 1 per STATE……
I believe VOTERS in every 50 state should have the oportunity to see their candidates
DEBATING about each state critical needs and what the candidates will do to help.
Not just go arround campaigning with prepared pretty speaches and sweet rpomises.
Each debate should involve some questions from the viewers, this way voters will
see how candidates react with UNPREPARED SITUATIONS. A President must be able
to deal with UNPREPARED situations.
It appears Obama can’t handle UNPREPARED SITUATIONS, fears the unknown, he
is opposing to have more than 21 debates. Debates are very important and necessary
before voters make up their mind. Unveils the true character and strenght of a
candidate!
Obama enjoyed people like J. Wright for 20 yrs. As long as Obama is the nominee
J. Wright and his congregation will take any heat from Obma then will happily embrace
him later on!.
**** Obama on CNN TODAY stuttered a lot and looked as he had a great deal of difficult saying
anything against his pastor, his words where like saying sorry but I feel pressured
to do this now. ****
The last thing this country needs at this time is trying to clarify Obama’s
poor caracter and lack of judgement choosing his antiamerican church and friends.
Obama’s true colors are obvious by now and he should be pressured to drop
out for lack of qualification as an loyal American and inexperience. period!
Nobody runs away from the WEAK but from the POWERFUL! We understand now why Obama refuses to debate Sen Clinton unless is a prepared INTERVIEW OR SPEACH..
** Indiana and N. Carolina you should too.
I support Hillary because of her EXTRAORDINARY strenght, hard working, persistence,
she is s fighter, a survivor in time of personal and political crisis, resciliant
and eager to get ahead herself, to help and protect the american people. Hillary
is indeed a true inspiration for people, specially women.
I am proud of her, very proud! Just fear that antiafemenists will rather give the
nomination to a QUESTIONABLE, unpatriotic Obama than to a hard working Lady, Hillary.
I support her because:

They are the same kind or type of people.
It is up to you now to decide what is best for our country.
“Birds of the same feathers flock together.”
“Tell me your friends are, and I tell you who you are.”
What a scary thought ahead for our country…
Think people… think…
Why waste time here? Obama can and does ‘deny’ Wright’s influence and will forever continue to. As well, it cannot be a surprise that the new Pastor of Obama’s Church is just as outrageously controversial as is his predecessor ‘Wright’. Ater all, ithis IS a Church grounded in the ‘tradition’ of Black Liberation Theology. What DID we expect?
Obama can honestly say he would ‘never take political council from Rev. Wright as President’; he cannot honestly say, however; that his ‘Marxism’ per Alynsky; Chompsky OR by his Church-inspired ‘Liberation Theology’ is not the prism though which he views the world; it’s problems; and it’s solutions.
The truth of Obama can be more easily revealed; if you all would shine the ‘light’ here – not by tortured analysys of yes/no/maybe relationships with the friends, mentors, Obama so readily denies; but rather through the prism of his early Marxist mentors; and for the past twenty years; the ‘theology’ – so called – that has given substance to his his core beliefs.
Amazngly, Obama has fielded a ‘gazillion’ questions re the ‘Reverend Wright’. Have yet to hear ANYone yet ask Obama; what ‘Liberation Theology’ means to him. . .nor draw parallels of BLT; it’s Marxism; to Obama’s invitation to America for ‘change’; or the MO by which Obama invites it.
Isn’t anyone paying attention to how old McCain is??? He could drop dead after election and anyone could be the vice-president. He’s not in touch with what’s going on in the world today!!!! He just going on as usual. He doesn’t care that the American soldiers could be in Iraq for another 10yrs or that the gas prices are going through the roof.
What about Hillary Clinton’s pastor??? Does he have a past also??
This is for Julia Anderson
IF YU are perfect throw the first stone. TO JUDGE someone like you do. GOD will JUDGE YOU also. Just because someone takes their children (Obama) to church doesn’t mean this will have a effect on a person.
I sure hope that John McCain chooses Mitt Romney as his VP. That way, when they lose miserably in November, we can get back to electing Conservatives to represent Republicans instead of Mavericks and Flip-Floppers.
