    " You are dude, called out and shot down. Obama's are still in his face. He totally lied, as he's made statements to the contrary on numerous other occasions. The sound bites are available on-line as well as been played over the air on radio and t.v.

    The do. They have already been called out. Do you like under a rock?

    Now who were you saying was blowing hot air?

    Obama is the best choice. "

    " It does matter who he associates with, then and now. I guess it doesn’t matter to you if he’s president that slowly all your rights given as a free American will disappear as we become dependent upon the government because there‘ll be no jobs so you‘ll be forced to do it‘s bidding. This is no game.

    If McCain and Palin have disreputable associates, we'll find out, but I don't think there are any. If there were the press would have been all over it to discredit them.

    Besides,you're--blowing-hot-air.

    McCain/Palin all the way. "

    It should not matter who he associated with at one time or another, the only reason the publicicans are talking because he is an honest man who don't lie. Ask Mccain and Palin who they have associated with? the publicians have to tell Mccain what to say - I am not like
    Bush- which is a out right LIE.
    VOTE OBAMA 08!!! "

    " Obama is a liar. He's lied about many things. His affiliation’s, business and personal, he opens his mouth and out comes word vomit. He may not be the anti-christ but he's sure full of him. The Obama protesters are too, the obscene stuff they shouted and had on t-shirts all based on admitted-lies about Palin. Obama's team will stop at nothing, including stealing votes and stuffing the ballot box, undermining the American way. Obama and his wife spit on America and openly condemn America “This-is-the-first-time-I’m-proud-of-America”(they-say-that-now-that-Obama’s-running-for-President)but-before-that ,"God D@mn America", and anyone who votes for him does too…is-this-who-you-are???

These are all externalities pushed onto society. It’s a cost that we as people are paying, not big business. Continuing to subsidize this makes no sense. Who should pay to fix the problem? "

I am somewhat familiar with the history of "Operation Paperclip", but it doesn't seem to fit your narrative, because the project was authorized by President Harry Truman, who was a DEMOCRAT! Also, I find it funny that you equate republicans to the KKK, when the KKK was founded by, and entirely comprised of southern DEMOCRATS. Remember, President Lincoln was a Republican. It's also funny how you leave out the fact that ex-KKK leader and current Senior Senator, ROBERT BYRD, is a DEMOCRAT! Would you like to explain little conflict? "

If what you are saying is true, then why did they try to make us believe that it was the most important election of our lifetimes?Why did they even run? Instead of passing legislation, they hold completely meaningless hearings on insignificant things. "

Remember Nancy Pelosi's promise to "drain the Republican swamp" within her first 100 days in office?

    If anything, Christ would scoff at the hypocritical use of Pro-Life as in the way that Scumbag Hypocrite Republicans use the word to pretend that they actually care about human-beings. Pro-Life means helping people have a better world. "

    " According to The Book of Revelation the anti-Christ is: The anti-Christ will
    be a man, in his 40's, of MUSLIM descent, who will deceive the nations with
    persuasive language, and have a MASSIVE Christ-like appeal....the prophecy says
    that people will flock to him and he will promise false hope and world peace,
    and when he is in power, will destroy everything..

We're not voting for him because he is a snobby, Anti-American, who acts like he's poor when he has numerous homes... He is a fake... and if you caught the speech where his teleprompter went out, you'd see what a babbling IDIOT he is. You can't just decide to run for president after only ACTUALLY being on the Congress floor for 6 weeks. He has NO experience. The presidency is not suited for "on-the-job-training"...

BOTH! Focusing on VERIFIED falsehoods about Obama or VERIFIED war records about McCain are parlor tricks of deception. Why not focus on the real issues instead of the penny ante he said/she said silliness we continue to see and hear? Where's Ross Perot when you need him? I'm prepared for your retorts. Bring em on! "

In fact he even thinks the words to the anthem are to harsh. I wonder if this highly intelligent man ever considered the lives lost to get him to the posibility of being president of the greatest nation on earth. Naaa, How did he say it?
