God help the USA if this is all we have for the next 4 years
ever notice how Mcain repeats words and statements when talking. Reminds me of that SNL skit where they said something and followed it with "yea thats the ticket" as if they were surprised by their own statement.
PLEASE IF YOU LOVE GOD, THIS COUNTRY, OUR FLAG AND NATIONAL ANTHEM MAKE SURE YOU VOTE FOR MCCAIN. WE DO NOT NEED SOMEONE AS COMMANDER IN CHIEF WHO DOES NOT HAVE LOVE AND RESPECT FOR ALL OF THE ABOVE.
McCain is my choice. Not because he is a wonderful speaker, but because he encourages you to go to the Watchdogs and get the facts. The facts are there, and Mr. Obama is a very dangerous man. He will lead our country in one direction only...down.
I love how McCain said that Obama recived more money from may and mack than all but one candidate in history, When the fact is that he received that money from people that worked for them out of there paychecks, When you look at the amount of money each candidate got from lobbyist of may and mac McCain received hundreds of thousands of dollars from the lobbyist where as Obama on took sixteen thousand from them. It is a desperate McCain that is lying. And if he gets elected it will be another four years of deceiving the american people. That is the last thing we need. Oh yeah and Palin is a Joke.
McCain- moving further and further toward socializing America. Obama- Socialist to the bone. Barr- advocate of free market capitalism and seriously shrinking the size of government. Barr won't win but what do you have in common with these two? WE WILL HAVE MORE ENTITLEMENT PROGRAMS WITH EITHER ONE OF THE TWO MAJOR PARTIES AND NIETHER WILL RIEGN IN SPENDING TO ATTACK OUR DEBT. At least Barr will do this much. We need to start having serious discussions about the constitution and the powers given to these leaders and social programs. Barr will also do this. On the issues how are either one of the two major candidates better than Barr?
I did just that, and it seems that the despite McCain is slinging all sorts of lies and half truths. I can not vote for this man, it seems to me that Obama has strengthened in his stances and I approve of the way he is going right now. The unfounded mud slinging of the McCain camp is disgusting, and the lies are deplorable not only to his character, but to what I originally thought he stood for.
Biden is a big joke. How can a man be vice president when he can not feel secure about himself. I'm obviously talking about his hair plugs if you haven't noticed.
It is meant to be. Obama will be our next president.
His Muslim backgroud will tear down this nation. He will be the first president to turn his back on Israel. America has turned her head from morals and values for far to long. She is about to get what what she has been asking for for a long time.
Don't cry and whine when it comes true. You ask for it so take it like the good little liberals you are. I'll bet in two years a person won't be able to find a single Obama supporter. Just like the good little liars you are.
On Tuesday, the new Johns Creek Fire Department takes over from Fulton County firefighters the protection of 65,000 residents and businesses. It's a process almost two years in the making, with launch dates pushed back time and again as organizers worked through funding needs, staffing requirements, equipment availability, and contractual obligations with Fulton County. The latter has provided fire coverage for the city until the municipal Fire Department was ready. The Johns Creek department plans to do things a little differently from Fulton County. Instead of responding to emergency calls with just pumper trucks, it may send rescue vehicles and pumpers, depending on the severity of the situation. Staffing will be increased for safety and effectiveness, and most of the times, paramedics will ride on each vehicle. Employee experience ranges from two to 28 years of service. There will be 24 paramedics and 12 Georgia Search and Rescue firefighters, including three instructors. "I was very happy with that," said Chief Joey Daniels, a former Fulton County battalion chief who served north Fulton. " We bring a lot to the table. We have a lot of experience and skills, including firefighting, medical care and technical rescue. That's good for us." The department will have newer and more equipment. Each vehicle will have advanced life-support equipment that provides the highest level of pre-hospital emergency care. Each vehicle also has sophisticated heart monitors that can send EKG readings to the hospital so the doctor knows what to expect. The rescue vehicles will carry special equipment for respiratory emergenceies. A LOOK AT THE JOHNS CREEK FIRE DEPARMENT

7:29 Pm, You know FBI. Mob like New York, Chicago, Atlanta, Italian/Italy, France, Mexico, Cuba, Europe, Russia and South America. No kkk in Georgia. You know World War 2. Why? America people is Jewish. Jesus is Jewish. McCain and Obama is Jewish too.
Obama is not a Muslim, but even if he were it would be a moot point for me. Wasn't this country founded on religious freedom?
Honestly I don't think McCain would do a good job as president.McCain chose Palin as his VP where the hell is his judgement?
Let's be honest, there is still this underlying issue of race in America and there is a good chance that the qualified candidate--Obama will not win, which is a shame because I don't have any faith in the McCain/Palin ticket. Palin is a conservative bimbo and McCain kicks the bucket I can only imagine the trouble the US would be in.
To all the Barack bashers, get over yourselves. For the 8 years, under the Bush administration the US has faced more danger than it ever has before or probably ever will. Why would you fear an intelligent, rational individual?
10:58 name one thing Obama has done, not just said, that makes you believe he would be a good president? Muslim may not be the faith he claims but it is the faith he lived until he was 10 years old. He did attend Muslim schools until that time. My child attends a Christian school and at 2 years and 9 months she points to the sky and says "Hello God." I imagine by 10 Obama had a pretty good idea who Allah was. You are a sheep being led to the slaughter by the big liberal media.
Judging from voting patterns over the past 80 years, Barrack Obama will be elected president. W.is going out with the lowest approval rating since Jimmy Carter. That sets the way for a democratic president. Either Israel will attack Iran or Iran will attack Israel. When this happens Barrack and the democrats will not support Israel with military backing or financial backing. God told Abraham in the Book of Genesis,"I will bless those who bless my nation Israel; I will curse those who curse my nation Israel. If we turn out backs on Israel in their hour of need, God will take his hand off the United States of America. Christians, when Obama is elected president, my advise to you is "Look toward the Eastern sky. Jesus is comming back for His church in fulfillment of the Scripture.
Barack H Obama's name alone should be a red flag, not his race, and it scares me and it should to Americans. Watch Hannity's special on Fox Sunday at 9 p.m. especially you obama supporters so you will see the truth.
Bob Barr, the only electable candidate (crazy to think but oh so true), would have a landslide victory if the US population took just a few minutes a day to study the constitution and economics. Barr IS FLAWED and DOES HAVE ISSUES in his personal life that haven't been to the highest of moral standards but when compared side by side to the candidates and their belief in the constitution he is much more qualified. Does anyone care about the constitution? My vote is NOT a protest vote. It is a vote for the candidate most qualified to uphold the constitution and regain control of this runaway train of government entitlements, debt, spending, and control over our PERSONAL FREEDOM! McCain will do no good. Obama will make matters much worse than they already are. Barr will piss off those on the government crutch and set a new example of how to govern for people to believe in. Why do you fear LESS government? Please back away from this socialist uprising and embrace true individual liberty.
i just talked to 2 of the smartest and most respected black men in our community, both said that they were voting for barak just because hes black. how stupid can people be? i would have voted for colin powell but not this muslim barak.
Lizzy get a clue. Who is most qualified to run this country on day one? The presidential hopeful or the vice presidential hopeful.
The answer? Palin
Lizzy you must be the bimbo (little "b"). All you have to do is compare the qualifications between the two.
You must be either someone who won't look at both sides and compare on qualifications, or someone voting for race only.
For the first time I'm ashamed to be an American. When people get votes because of race it's a sad day. If you idiots must have race involved - I'll vote for Powell too. But I sure am not stupid enough to vote for a traitor to this country. You all need to take your binders off.
I'm not a sheep being led by anything. You guys are the ones that are being blindly spoon-fed the conservative media's BS. Hannity, O'Reilley, and Coulter have made millions off of paranoid conservatives such as yourself.
I will gladly cast my vote EARLY for Obama some one that I do believe is a champion for the working class.
4:28, You, you don't. You don't make it. Not first president, not first black. I saw on TV and use on computer. Why Obama about the Pledge of Allegiance? Why Obama hate America? He doesn't love America.
I understand McCain. We vote McCain for President!!!!! That make me sad about McCain tell story about Family, Vietnam War and POW/MIA and more. I don't understand Obama.
Well Lizzy, why couldn't you answer the question then. Please name just one thing that Obama has done, not just said, that qualifies him to be president. I love this question because I have yet to hear any Obama supporter who can answer it. I don't think I know you Lizzy but I am sure you are a good caring person but if you really think Obama is pro-working class you have been "duped, hoodwinked, and bamboozled" all for the sake of a vote.
Dear Mr. Obama, It is August 30, 2008 . My name is Mark Gregg. I am a 50 something conservative white male. I have followed your campaign closely, including the speeches you and others made at the democratic national convention. I am respectfully providing you with seven simple (probably shallow) reasons why I could never vote for you. I believe my opinion is shared by many people. While there may not be quite enough to prevent you from becoming president of this nation, I do think there is an awakening to the fact that you are not a (the) messiah that the media and liberal Hollywood entertainers are trying to portray you.
1. I hear your mantra of change, change, change. Yet, you picked a long term, liberal, Washington insider ( Joe Biden )to be your running mate. This is NOT change.
It is a move that hypocritically refutes the very thing you supposedly stand for. Your campaign then slammed McCain for picking Sarah Palin, apparently, because she is NOT a Washington insider. She is a maverick who cleaned-up Alaska's quagmire of political scandals.
Which way is it, Barack? Is it okay for you to pick a Washington insider under the mantra of 'change', but not okay for John McCain to pick a smart, aggressive, reformer?
2. You have the single most liberal voting record in the senate. This indicates to me and others like me that you may very well be an angry black man seeking to punish our country for sins of a different generation.
I am not racist. I have some biases just like you and every other human alive. Unlike the democratic party who claims to be for the minority (but their record heavily refutes this), I will give any person who truly needs help, help.
I married a 'minority' girl 35 years ago (she is Hispanic) and have seen the evils of prejudice first hand. However, I have also seen my wife and my children and others in her family throw off the veil of self imposed prejudicial bondage and move ahead. They love our country and do not view themselves any different than I view myself as a citizen of this country.
Your lovely wife so disappointed people like me during this campaign when she stated it was the first time she had ever been proud of this country. She apparently never noticed the massive aid we give dozens of other countries. She apparently never noticed the sacrifice of literally millions of veterans who helped make this country a free nation and helped liberate other nations from brutal dictators such as Adolf Hitler. She apparently does not remember that she attended ivy league universities with scholarship money that ultimately (at least some of it) was paid for by our taxes.
This troubles me more than you know. She is an angry black woman who appears to not like her country very much. I don't want her representing me to the rest of the world.
3. You claim Christianity but apparently do not realize that the Bible teaches that he who does not work, does not eat.
The Bible does not say or even suggest that he who CANNOT work, should not eat. Yet, your liberal policies reward people who are capable of working, but choose to not do so. This bothers me. I know that if you are elected our taxes will spiral upwards.
You should heed the words of Winston Churchill:
'We contend that for a nation to try to tax itself into prosperity is like a man standing in a bucket and trying to lift himself up by the handle.'
If I like anything about you, it is your campaign promise to balance the federal budget. Unfortunately, we have heard this a huge number of times from a number of different politicians and we realize that when you energize the very liberal Nancy Pelosi, Robert Byrd, Ted Kennedy, etc, etc, and the many other democrats like them, a balanced budget will never, ever happen on your watch.
4. During your question and answer session with Rick Warren of Saddleback Church your answer concerning the question of where does life begin, stunned me:
'Above your pay grade?'
Does this mean when something bad happens as President of this nation that you are going to look at your salary to determine if you can respond?
I am sorry, but this was the most serious gaffe I have seen you make. Frankly, it shows me that you are pandering in the most obvious manner. You will choose your words not from your heart, but from an agenda that I believe is still hidden from the American people .
5. If anything stands out about you it is probably your appeasement mentality. In this era of rampant, radical Islamic extremism and with the latest stunt pulled by the re-energized Russian government, I am not sure appeasement is healthy.
I again revert to the words of Winston Churchill:
'An appeaser is one who feeds a crocodile, hoping it will eat him last.'
6. You and your party tacitly believe that a 13 or 14 year old girl must have the parents approval to have the school nurse provide them with a Tylenol when they have a headache at school. Yet, this same girl can become pregnant and the school can skirt her off to a clinic and abort the child in her body without the parents knowing or being notified. This scares the hell out of me. You have two little girls. Would you be upset if this happened to them and you were not informed? Then why do you stand for this? It makes no sense to me.
7. My seventh and final point (for now) is your supporters. I have watched the Hollywood entertainers that support you, systematically embrace Hugo Chavez of Venezuela and others like him. I see the continuous smut and garbage produced by Hollywood, the very people who promote you the most vigorously.
It is not a positive point to me and others like me to see these over-paid, bizarre, poor examples of human existence fawn over you and push you and your liberal agenda as hard as they do.
The way I see it; When the devil is for you, we should question whether or not we should be against you.
In closing, I just want you to know that you scare me. I cannot vote for you. It is not because of your skin color. It is because these items I've listed and many, many others like them.
Do not claim that my dislike for you is race based. It is because I do not feel you have the best interests of this nation at heart.
I voted early and have voted for Obama. Even I don't want to see another Republican in the White House. Why the heck do ya think I chose Sara Palin? My friends, it's because nobody in their right mind would want her running the country. And let's face it, my friends, I am not a young man. Choosing her assured that I would lose the race.
My friends, save yourselves and your country. Obama '08
you hear it first here....the electoral college vote will be 269 to 269.....it will be a tie....the house of rep will pick the president and it will be john mccain(each state gets one vote)...mccain will win 29 to 21.....the senate elected the vice president and biden will win 52-48.....so will be have 2 liberals, john mccain and joe biden leading us.......jan 20th 2009 cant come soon enough.....liberleft....
Economy – Economy – Economy Everyone’s so worried about the market. Look at the bright side. Stocks are way down. It gives you an opportunity to buy while the buying is good. In time the market will recover. You can own lots or none. But if you buy – buy – buy, it will go up – up – up and you’ll be better – better – better off than you were. If you don’t you’ll wish – wish – wish that you did. The same amount of money exists today that did last year. It’s just distributed differently. The rich get rich by scaring the plain causing the sell cheap then they go back and sell high again. You just get screwed by selling low and buying high. Don’t get sucked in to the old bait and switch game that will cause you to lose your savings. Buy – Buy – Buy
You are fake. You tell lie. McCain not wrote on this paper. Obama and McCain don't have comupter. I know McCain and Obama about Tour like bus and airport and somewhere. Huh.
2:20 PM, Yeah, yeah I know. Christams or whatever. Think?!?!? Get a job? and Buy new car or truck? and Buy dog or cat? and Buy new home? and New business? and Vacation? and Mall? and College? and or Whatever? Think hard???
I am voting for McCain and Palin why? because I belive what the BIBLE teaches. Obama is a Muslim and they do not belive in GOD period. America was founded on religion and it is a free country. But I know GOD will not be happy if Obama becomes president he is sheep in wolves clothing and he is part of the revaloution that was said in the BIBLE. So look out people if we vote for him GOD is coming back to get us. The times are near so you better get yourself ready.
How many movie stars are pro Obama? How many movie stars are Jewish? How long do you think they woudl support someone - anyone who does not support Israel?
"The president is not elected to make changes, he is elected to maintain status quo."
The men who control the money in this country control your vote too. That is if you base your decision on what the media and big networks tell you. How come we never hear about the Libertarian Party and the Green Party? Because they don't support allowing the goverment to control every aspect of our life, they want to get rid of the IRS, and the Federal Reserve, etc. They will make changes.
Well worth your time: Especially if you plan to vote.
All of you dumb pieces of crap that run around saying Obama is a Muslim need to just give it up. Is that all you have to say about him. It's no where even close to the truth. All you who are voting for McCain because he believes in the bible must have forgotten all of the lies he's told or the cheating on his wife thing.
The strength Obama has shown though out all of the attacks that the McCain clan has thrown at and his ability to stand his ground and talk to the american people is what is going to make this country great again. And just remember you people are the ones that gave us Bush twice, so think about that.
Kimberly you are an idiot, Muslims do not believe in God, Are you a joke, They believe in the same God you do, just as the Jews do. How stupid can one person be, And by the way don't forget that your and their God has been the reason behind more deaths than anything else in history.
anon 2:01 And by the way don't forget that your and their God has been the reason behind more deaths than anything else in history.
You are absolutely wrong! Since Roe v/s Wade, there have been almost 50,000,000 deaths! The only other cause that may have killed more people is communism. Some have that estimate at 100,000,000 people (mostly killed by China and the Soviet Union)
The deaths caused by Christianity are few. Sure, you can argue the Catholic Inquisition. But I would argue that that was not Christianity.
1 pm, I don't understand. What you talk about? Do you understand United Nations or 80 million US Mililary/Law Enforcement/Firefighters/Federal/EMS/Security? We are very strong and never afriad. Courage, Honor, Warriors, and Glory!!!! 300 like that movie? Ho!
To Anonymous @ 2:01 AM I'm sorry to say that you are wrong. I'll be happy to try and explain the difference if you would like but a preacher can do a much better job than I.
I can tell you that the only way to God the Father is through Jesus Christ. Jesus died for my, your, and everyone elses sin. Only through the blood of Christ can you avoid eternal hell. Alah will not or can not save you.
I love how all these black people are wearing obama shirts, sporting "C.H.A.N.G.E." you know what that stands for? Come. Help. A. Negro.Get.Elected...
You know thats the only reason some of u folks are voting for obama.. just because he is black and u want to see the first black president. same for all you female hillary supporters.. you just wanted to see the first female pres. but do yall really pay attention to what these folks have to say? and do you pay attention to the economy and the real facts? If you are a smart individual you would vote for mccain! not because he's WHITE,and you DONT want to see the first black president, but because he is more experienced and has been associated with politics for many years, yes he is old, but with great age comes great wisdom. and for all you folks talkin about the end of the world? PA-LEASE! there has been many ups and downs in this world, and this economy. there were much harder times than this, you all are just so damn spoiled now a days. just because we are in a bit of a pickle right now doesnt mean its the end of the world.
Have any of you listened to John McCain he repeats the same thing over and over again. If you want the same things to happen the next four years that has happened the last eight then he is your man. But my vote goes to Obama because what he stands for and that is the American people.

And he is my choice for Pres.
This nation would have been better off for McCain and Palin not to participate in the debates.
There is no way that you can out debate those that will lie and back up their lies with more lies.
You have to give the demo candidates credit for being master debaters.
GOD help us.
PLEASE IF YOU LOVE GOD, THIS COUNTRY, OUR FLAG AND NATIONAL ANTHEM MAKE SURE YOU VOTE FOR MCCAIN. WE DO NOT NEED SOMEONE AS COMMANDER IN CHIEF WHO DOES NOT HAVE LOVE AND RESPECT FOR ALL OF THE ABOVE.
McCain is my choice. Not because he is a wonderful speaker, but because he encourages you to go to the Watchdogs and get the facts. The facts are there, and Mr. Obama is a very dangerous man. He will lead our country in one direction only...down.

McCain- moving further and further toward socializing America.
Obama- Socialist to the bone.
Barr- advocate of free market capitalism and seriously shrinking the size of government.
Barr won't win but what do you have in common with these two?
WE WILL HAVE MORE ENTITLEMENT PROGRAMS WITH EITHER ONE OF THE TWO MAJOR PARTIES AND NIETHER WILL RIEGN IN SPENDING TO ATTACK OUR DEBT.
At least Barr will do this much. We need to start having serious discussions about the constitution and the powers given to these leaders and social programs.
Barr will also do this.
On the issues how are either one of the two major candidates better than Barr?
I have a dream. God send me.
1996: I vote President Bill Clinton (D)

Don't cry and whine when it comes true. You ask for it so take it like the good little liberals you are. I'll bet in two years a person won't be able to find a single Obama supporter. Just like the good little liars you are.
If everyone put a blindfold on and just listened to the background, experience and plans that each candidate has, the majority would vote for McCain.
Actually if Obama gets elected I betcha he will be assassinated within the first 6 months. Either the mob or the KKK will make sure of that.
4:34 Very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very and very old.... Joe Biden almost die. 66 years old.
Dear All,
Georgia City's New Fire Department Ready to Roll
On Tuesday, the new Johns Creek Fire Department takes over from Fulton County firefighters the protection of 65,000 residents and businesses.
It's a process almost two years in the making, with launch dates pushed back time and again as organizers worked through funding needs, staffing requirements, equipment availability, and contractual obligations with Fulton County.
The latter has provided fire coverage for the city until the municipal Fire Department was ready.
The Johns Creek department plans to do things a little differently from Fulton County. Instead of responding to emergency calls with just pumper trucks, it may send rescue vehicles and pumpers, depending on the severity of the situation. Staffing will be increased for safety and effectiveness, and most of the times, paramedics will ride on each vehicle.
Employee experience ranges from two to 28 years of service. There will be 24 paramedics and 12 Georgia Search and Rescue firefighters, including three instructors.
"I was very happy with that," said Chief Joey Daniels, a former Fulton County battalion chief who served north Fulton. " We bring a lot to the table. We have a lot of experience and skills, including firefighting, medical care and technical rescue. That's good for us."
The department will have newer and more equipment. Each vehicle will have advanced life-support equipment that provides the highest level of pre-hospital emergency care. Each vehicle also has sophisticated heart monitors that can send EKG readings to the hospital so the doctor knows what to expect.
The rescue vehicles will carry special equipment for respiratory emergenceies.

7:29 Pm, You know FBI. Mob like New York, Chicago, Atlanta, Italian/Italy, France, Mexico, Cuba, Europe, Russia and South America. No kkk in Georgia. You know World War 2. Why? America people is Jewish. Jesus is Jewish. McCain and Obama is Jewish too.
There's a white elephant in the room here.....
Obama is not a Muslim, but even if he were it would be a moot point for me. Wasn't this country founded on religious freedom?

God told Abraham in the Book of Genesis,"I will bless those who bless my nation Israel; I will curse those who curse my nation Israel. If we turn out backs on Israel in their hour of need, God will take his hand off the United States of America. Christians, when Obama is elected president, my advise to you is "Look toward the Eastern sky. Jesus is comming back for His church in fulfillment of the Scripture.
Barack H Obama's name alone should be a red flag, not his race, and it scares me and it should to Americans. Watch Hannity's special on Fox Sunday at 9 p.m. especially you obama supporters so you will see the truth.
Bob Barr, the only electable candidate (crazy to think but oh so true), would have a landslide victory if the US population took just a few minutes a day to study the constitution and economics.
Barr IS FLAWED and DOES HAVE ISSUES in his personal life that haven't been to the highest of moral standards but when compared side by side to the candidates and their belief in the constitution he is much more qualified.
Does anyone care about the constitution?
My vote is NOT a protest vote. It is a vote for the candidate most qualified to uphold the constitution and regain control of this runaway train of government entitlements, debt, spending, and control over our PERSONAL FREEDOM!
McCain will do no good.
Obama will make matters much worse than they already are.
Barr will piss off those on the government crutch and set a new example of how to govern for people to believe in.
Why do you fear LESS government?
Please back away from this socialist uprising and embrace true individual liberty.
i just talked to 2 of the smartest and most respected black men in our community, both said that they were voting for barak just because hes black. how stupid can people be? i would have voted for colin powell but not this muslim barak.
Look at 12:15 PM. You are angel.
Lizzy get a clue. Who is most qualified to run this country on day one? The presidential hopeful or the vice presidential hopeful.
The answer? Palin
Lizzy you must be the bimbo (little "b"). All you have to do is compare the qualifications between the two.
You must be either someone who won't look at both sides and compare on qualifications, or someone voting for race only.
For the first time I'm ashamed to be an American. When people get votes because of race it's a sad day. If you idiots must have race involved - I'll vote for Powell too. But I sure am not stupid enough to vote for a traitor to this country. You all need to take your binders off.
wdm,
I'm not a sheep being led by anything. You guys are the ones that are being blindly spoon-fed the conservative media's BS. Hannity, O'Reilley, and Coulter have made millions off of paranoid conservatives such as yourself.
I will gladly cast my vote EARLY for Obama some one that I do believe is a champion for the working class.
OBAMA = ACORN
ACORN = VOTER FRAUD
Obama's DNA is all over ACORN and he can try to deny it but GOD knows the truth
4:28,
You, you don't. You don't make it. Not first president, not first black. I saw on TV and use on computer. Why Obama about the Pledge of Allegiance? Why Obama hate America? He doesn't love America.
I understand McCain. We vote McCain for President!!!!! That make me sad about McCain tell story about Family, Vietnam War and POW/MIA and more. I don't understand Obama.
Well Lizzy, why couldn't you answer the question then. Please name just one thing that Obama has done, not just said, that qualifies him to be president. I love this question because I have yet to hear any Obama supporter who can answer it. I don't think I know you Lizzy but I am sure you are a good caring person but if you really think Obama is pro-working class you have been "duped, hoodwinked, and bamboozled" all for the sake of a vote.
this is to 2:08 i know white folks that wont vote for abama just because hes black.
Dear Mr. Obama,
It is August 30, 2008 . My name is Mark Gregg. I am a 50 something conservative white male. I have followed your campaign closely, including the speeches you and others made at the democratic national convention. I am respectfully providing you with seven simple (probably shallow) reasons why I could never vote for you. I believe my opinion is shared by many people. While there may not be quite enough to prevent you from becoming president of this nation, I do think there is an awakening to the fact that you are not a (the) messiah that the media and liberal Hollywood entertainers are trying to portray you.
1. I hear your mantra of change, change, change. Yet, you picked a long term, liberal, Washington insider ( Joe Biden )to be your running mate. This is NOT change.
It is a move that hypocritically refutes the very thing you supposedly stand for. Your campaign then slammed McCain for picking Sarah Palin, apparently, because she is NOT a Washington insider. She is a maverick who cleaned-up Alaska's quagmire of political scandals.
Which way is it, Barack? Is it okay for you to pick a Washington insider under the mantra of 'change', but not okay for John McCain to pick a smart, aggressive, reformer?
2. You have the single most liberal voting record in the senate. This indicates to me and others like me that you may very well be an angry black man seeking to punish our country for sins of a different generation.
I am not racist. I have some biases just like you and every other human alive. Unlike the democratic party who claims to be for the minority (but their record heavily refutes this), I will give any person who truly needs help, help.
I married a 'minority' girl 35 years ago (she is Hispanic) and have seen the evils of prejudice first hand. However, I have also seen my wife and my children and others in her family throw off the veil of self imposed prejudicial bondage and move ahead. They love our country and do not view themselves any different than I view myself as a citizen of this country.
Your lovely wife so disappointed people like me during this campaign when she stated it was the first time she had ever been proud of this country. She apparently never noticed the massive aid we give dozens of other countries. She apparently never noticed the sacrifice of literally millions of veterans who helped make this country a free nation and helped liberate other nations from brutal dictators such as Adolf Hitler. She apparently does not remember that she attended ivy league universities with scholarship money that ultimately (at least some of it) was paid for by our taxes.
This troubles me more than you know. She is an angry black woman who appears to not like her country very much. I don't want her representing me to the rest of the world.
3. You claim Christianity but apparently do not realize that the Bible teaches that he who does not work, does not eat.
The Bible does not say or even suggest that he who CANNOT work, should not eat. Yet, your liberal policies reward people who are capable of working, but choose to not do so. This bothers me. I know that if you are elected our taxes will spiral upwards.
You should heed the words of Winston Churchill:
'We contend that for a nation to try to tax itself into prosperity is like a man standing in a bucket and trying to lift himself up by the handle.'
If I like anything about you, it is your campaign promise to balance the federal budget. Unfortunately, we have heard this a huge number of times from a number of different politicians and we realize that when you energize the very liberal Nancy Pelosi, Robert Byrd, Ted Kennedy, etc, etc, and the many other democrats like them, a balanced budget will never, ever happen on your watch.
4. During your question and answer session with Rick Warren of Saddleback Church your answer concerning the question of where does life begin, stunned me:
'Above your pay grade?'
Does this mean when something bad happens as President of this nation that you are going to look at your salary to determine if you can respond?
I am sorry, but this was the most serious gaffe I have seen you make. Frankly, it shows me that you are pandering in the most obvious manner. You will choose your words not from your heart, but from an agenda that I believe is still hidden from the American people .
5. If anything stands out about you it is probably your appeasement mentality. In this era of rampant, radical Islamic extremism and with the latest stunt pulled by the re-energized Russian government, I am not sure appeasement is healthy.
I again revert to the words of Winston Churchill:
'An appeaser is one who feeds a crocodile, hoping it will eat him last.'
6. You and your party tacitly believe that a 13 or 14 year old girl must have the parents approval to have the school nurse provide them with a Tylenol when they have a headache at school. Yet, this same girl can become pregnant and the school can skirt her off to a clinic and abort the child in her body without the parents knowing or being notified.
This scares the hell out of me.
You have two little girls. Would you be upset if this happened to them and you were not informed? Then why do you stand for this? It makes no sense to me.
7. My seventh and final point (for now) is your supporters. I have watched the Hollywood entertainers that support you, systematically embrace Hugo Chavez of Venezuela and others like him. I see the continuous smut and garbage produced by Hollywood, the very people who promote you the most vigorously.
It is not a positive point to me and others like me to see these over-paid, bizarre, poor examples of human existence fawn over you and push you and your liberal agenda as hard as they do.
The way I see it; When the devil is for you, we should question whether or not we should be against you.
In closing, I just want you to know that you scare me. I cannot vote for you. It is not because of your skin color. It is because these items I've listed and many, many others like them.
Do not claim that my dislike for you is race based. It is because I do not feel you have the best interests of this nation at heart.
Respectfully,
Mark A. Gregg
AND I'M ONE!!
My friends,
I voted early and have voted for Obama. Even I don't want to see another Republican in the White House. Why the heck do ya think I chose Sara Palin? My friends, it's because nobody in their right mind would want her running the country. And let's face it, my friends, I am not a young man. Choosing her assured that I would lose the race.
My friends, save yourselves and your country. Obama '08
Signed,
John McCain
My name is John McCain and I approve this post.

Economy – Economy – Economy
Everyone’s so worried about the market. Look at the bright side. Stocks are way down. It gives you an opportunity to buy while the buying is good. In time the market will recover. You can own lots or none. But if you buy – buy – buy, it will go up – up – up and you’ll be better – better – better off than you were. If you don’t you’ll wish – wish – wish that you did. The same amount of money exists today that did last year. It’s just distributed differently. The rich get rich by scaring the plain causing the sell cheap then they go back and sell high again. You just get screwed by selling low and buying high. Don’t get sucked in to the old bait and switch game that will cause you to lose your savings. Buy – Buy – Buy
11:53 AM,
You are fake. You tell lie. McCain not wrote on this paper. Obama and McCain don't have comupter. I know McCain and Obama about Tour like bus and airport and somewhere. Huh.
I UNDERSTAND WHAT TALK YOU PAPER ABOUT .THEY LIAR WHEN COMPUTER ON BUS AND AIRPLANE.TREE FALLS AND KILL PETS ON OBAMMY HE NOT WIN CAUSE HE SO DUMB.
4:21, Not win. Both Obama and McCain.
2:20 PM,
Yeah, yeah I know. Christams or whatever. Think?!?!? Get a job? and Buy new car or truck? and Buy dog or cat? and Buy new home? and New business? and Vacation? and Mall? and College? and or Whatever? Think hard???
John McCain = Ronald Reagan
Barack Obama = John F. Kennedy or Robert F. Kennedy
I am voting for McCain and Palin why? because I belive what the BIBLE teaches. Obama is a Muslim and they do not belive in GOD period. America was founded on religion and it is a free country. But I know GOD will not be happy if Obama becomes president he is sheep in wolves clothing and he is part of the revaloution that was said in the BIBLE. So look out people if we vote for him GOD is coming back to get us. The times are near so you better get yourself ready.
7:15 you made no sense whatsoever.
How many movie stars are pro Obama? How many movie stars are Jewish? How long do you think they woudl support someone - anyone who does not support Israel?
"The president is not elected to make changes, he is elected to maintain status quo."
The men who control the money in this country control your vote too. That is if you base your decision on what the media and big networks tell you. How come we never hear about the Libertarian Party and the Green Party? Because they don't support allowing the goverment to control every aspect of our life, they want to get rid of the IRS, and the Federal Reserve, etc. They will make changes.
Well worth your time: Especially if you plan to vote.
Zeitgeist: Addendum
Amen!!! to what Kimberly @ 10:39 a.m. said. Everyone better pray for this country and this election.
Kimberly dear, what an arrogant statement!
"But I know GOD will not be happy if Obama becomes president"
Who do you think you are to know the mind of God?
And what if Obama is Muslim? (He's not, by the way.) But what if he is?
And what are you talking about here?
"revaloution that was said in the BIBLE"...just where in the Bible is that?
Perhaps you "better get yourself ready" because your ignorance is showing!
All of you dumb pieces of crap that run around saying Obama is a Muslim need to just give it up. Is that all you have to say about him. It's no where even close to the truth. All you who are voting for McCain because he believes in the bible must have forgotten all of the lies he's told or the cheating on his wife thing.
The strength Obama has shown though out all of the attacks that the McCain clan has thrown at and his ability to stand his ground and talk to the american people is what is going to make this country great again. And just remember you people are the ones that gave us Bush twice, so think about that.
Kimberly you are an idiot, Muslims do not believe in God, Are you a joke, They believe in the same God you do, just as the Jews do. How stupid can one person be, And by the way don't forget that your and their God has been the reason behind more deaths than anything else in history.
anon 2:01
And by the way don't forget that your and their God has been the reason behind more deaths than anything else in history.
You are absolutely wrong! Since Roe v/s Wade, there have been almost 50,000,000 deaths! The only other cause that may have killed more people is communism. Some have that estimate at 100,000,000 people (mostly killed by China and the Soviet Union)
The deaths caused by Christianity are few. Sure, you can argue the Catholic Inquisition. But I would argue that that was not Christianity.
1 pm, I don't understand. What you talk about? Do you understand United Nations or 80 million US Mililary/Law Enforcement/Firefighters/Federal/EMS/Security? We are very strong and never afriad. Courage, Honor, Warriors, and Glory!!!! 300 like that movie? Ho!
All Democrats go back Canada!
All Republicans stay America and UK!
To Anonymous @ 2:01 AM I'm sorry to say that you are wrong. I'll be happy to try and explain the difference if you would like but a preacher can do a much better job than I.
I can tell you that the only way to God the Father is through Jesus Christ. Jesus died for my, your, and everyone elses sin. Only through the blood of Christ can you avoid eternal hell. Alah will not or can not save you.
You are living in the end times in my opinion.
I love how all these black people are wearing obama shirts, sporting "C.H.A.N.G.E."
you know what that stands for?
Come. Help. A. Negro.Get.Elected...
You know thats the only reason some of u folks are voting for obama.. just because he is black and u want to see the first black president. same for all you female hillary supporters.. you just wanted to see the first female pres. but do yall really pay attention to what these folks have to say? and do you pay attention to the economy and the real facts? If you are a smart individual you would vote for mccain! not because he's WHITE,and you DONT want to see the first black president, but because he is more experienced and has been associated with politics for many years, yes he is old, but with great age comes great wisdom. and for all you folks talkin about the end of the world? PA-LEASE! there has been many ups and downs in this world, and this economy. there were much harder times than this, you all are just so damn spoiled now a days. just because we are in a bit of a pickle right now doesnt mean its the end of the world.
Have any of you listened to John McCain he repeats the same thing over and over again. If you want the same things to happen the next four years that has happened the last eight then he is your man.
But my vote goes to Obama because what he stands for and that is the American people.
