Is this what is coming to America next?
As WND has reported, Obama openly campaigned for Odinga during the Illinois Democrat's 2006 Senate "fact-finding visit" to Kenya.

Odinga called for protests over alleged voter fraud after losing the December 2007 general election. The resulting protest violence left an estimated 1,000 members of the dominant Kikuyu tribe in Kenya dead and an estimated 500,000 displaced from their homes.

This Just In: McCain is a Republican
====================================

So is George W. Bush!!!

HES A DEMOCRAT!!! HELL WITH 'EM!!!

As a republican, hopefully he will repudiate the remarks of his supporter..Rush Limbaugh because things are really going to far now! Huff post reports on Rush Limbaughs recent radio commentary on blacks.It is so blatantly rascist and ties Obama & all blacks to militancy ...if the media doesnt finally take a strong stand on this horrible rhetoric then it is being totally irresponsible. If this type of broadcast isnt inciting violence against blacks then nothing is! Free speech is one thing...promoting hatred is another!!

Somebody will need to stop the 3 stooges! Pelosi is already planning her first bill which is 300 bil package to improve roads and supply money to cash strapped states, oh and tax cuts. Great way to start the year with another 300 bil debt.

Here is a novel idea, why not talk about the policies and plans required to solve the financial crisis we are in, instead screwing around with these political calculations.

McCain a Republican? Hogwash! I wish he did stand for something. Instead, he has destroyed his maverick image and even his honor to sell his soul to winning at any cost. Not only is he a Republican who doesn't have a clue about the economy -- except for "free markets" which has brought America and the world to its knees, he no longer has any credibility to run the country on a bipartisan manner. He's angered everyone just about everyone other than a staunch conservative. Even Palin has, on occasion, been willing to throw McCain under the bus. Mavericks? Not hardly -- blind ambition for both of them is more likely.

PALIN UNAWARE OF RUSSIAN OIL MEETING IN ALASKA.........Palin has argued that her state’s proximity to Russia, as well as trade missions between Alaska and Russia, have helped give her the foreign policy experience necessary to be Vice President. But the campaign said the governor did not know that the Gazprom delegation was meeting with the commissioner of the Alaska Department of Natural Resources, who is a Palin appointee

Rush Limbaugh is a racist pig

geeeeeeeeeeeeee is he not running for the republican ticket?????What a stupid new statement.

Ann: "Obama openly campaigned for Odinga during the Illinois Democrat's 2006 Senate "fact-finding visit" to Kenya."

And yet there is NO documentation of this "open campaigning" other than a few photo-ops. Not a single press release, endorsement - nothing.

Typical Republican lies. Isn't there anything GOOD about McCain/Palin you can talk about? Or are they really down to tin-foil hat smears?

I am so glad he is going to clear that point up tonight. I was beginning to wonder how two democrats were running for president this late in the game.

samhiguchi: " Great way to start the year with another 300 bil debt."

Are you serious? America has seen how many TRILLIONS a Republican President and Republican Congress saddled our kids with. We also saw how President Clinton signed real welfare reform and left a nice big SURPLUS that the Republicans squandered.

Republican "fiscally responsible" lies are meaningless babble lost in the roaring of reality.

I don't recognize Senator McCain. Maybe, the intense scrutiny of a long campaign is a good thing. But, it's depressing to see your candidate sell out his beliefs and hire thugs to run his campaign. I am truly one of those white males who have decided to vote for Obama. in 2000, I felt honor for a man who, at least on the surface, appeared to really put principle first and thus his country. When I look out at his crowds, I don't see anyone I can identify with. He has brought on Bush's ugly fighters and its reflected in his core group. I fee left out in the cold, but nonetheless enlightened and saddened. I find it deeply disturbing to see not only his campaign falter to dispicable lows, but to see the legacy of an honorable American trashed beyond repair. Sad thing is, no one is to blame except McCain himself.

Actually, spending $300 billion to improve our infrastructure sounds like a good idea to me. After all, this money is taxpayer money and it should be given back to the taxpayers of every state by improving roads, bridges, tunnels, levees, schools, and everything else that needs repair and reconstruction. What's wrong with that? To me, that's what it's all about. I want my taxpayer dollars used to build this country and make it stronger from within. To put our people to work and rebuilding our status in this world so I can travel internationally and not pretend I am Canadian so foreigners won't hate me. I actually resent my taxpayers dollars being spent on an illegal War at the rate of $10 billion dollars a month. Put that money to work over here and the sooner, the better.

Actually a Democratic takeover of the executive and legislative branches of the government won't be bad at all. Parliamentary systems in many Western democracies, including our big buddy, Britain and our neighbor, Canada, often produce majority governments by making the head of the party which has garnered a majority of the votes in a parliamentary election (and thus becoming the majority party in the legislative body) the prime minister.

That is a strong argument agains Dem in the WH.Obama was carried over the finish line huffing and puffing by Pelosi and Reid and now it is payback time.The spend spend raise taxes trio will destroy our economy.Mc Cain is the last stand.Obama's dubious past and zero accomplishments make him more dependent on these two idiots for survival.

If Barack Obama would apply for a job with the FBI or with the Secret Service, he would be disqualified because of his past association with William Ayers, a known terrorist.

If he is elected President he would not qualify to be his own body guard!

Someone needs to start a serious boycott of Alaska and prove to the 50th state that the 'lower 48' will not tolerate their Govenor Palin's exporting of hate. She's self handedly destroyed the good reputation of the state. Send a message to her constituents to impeach her! or we won't eat their seafood, and won't plan a trip to Alaska next summer. Then once their economy starts tanking, we'll see the citizens of the Blue and Gold throw her to the wolves!

Boycott Alaska!!! Charge!!!

Ronald Reagan, the quintessential Republican, RAISED corporate taxes.

And that's exactly what OBAMA suggests!

What's the matter Pubs, don't like Ronnie any more? Or have you just lost your identity?

flavoter: "If Barack Obama would apply for a job with the FBI or with the Secret Service, he would be disqualified because of his past association with William Ayers, a known terrorist."

This is just not true. Provided he did not conceal the information, there is nothing in his casual contact with Ayers that would preclude security clearance. If he had absolutely zero such coincidental contacts it would be more likely to raise a flag - they get nervous when a security check turns up too clean.

sorry dems!!!
In the early 1800’s Congress was considering a bill to appropriate tax dollars for the widow of a distinguished naval officer. Several beautiful speeches had been made in support of this bill. It seemed that everyone in the House favored it. The Speaker of the House was just about to put the question to a vote, when Davy Crockett, famous frontiersman and then Congressman from Tennessee, rose to his feet.
“Mr. Speaker, I have as much respect for the memory of the deceased and as much sympathy for the suffering of the living as any man in this House, but we must not permit our respect for the dead or our sympathy for a part of the living to lead us into an act of injustice to the balance of the living. I will not go into an argument to prove that Congress has no power to appropriate this money as an act of charity. Every member upon this floor knows it. We have the right, as individuals to give away as much of our own money as we please in charity, but as members of Congress we have no right to so appropriate a dollar of the public money. Some eloquent appeals have been made to us upon the ground that it is a debt due the deceased. Sir, this is no debt. We cannot without the grossest corruption, appropriate this money as the payment of a debt. We have not the semblance of authority to appropriate it as a charity. I cannot vote for this bill, but I will give one week’s pay, and if every member of Congress will do the same, it will amount to more than the bill asks.”

There was silence on the floor of the House as Crockett took his seat. When the bill was put to a vote, instead of passing unanimously as had been expected, it received only a few votes. The next day a friend approached Crockett and asked why he spoken against a bill for such a worthy cause. In reply, Crockett related the following story:

Just a few years before, he had voted to spend $20,000.00 of public money to help the victims of a terrible fire in Georgetown. When the legislative session was over, Crockett made a trip back home to do some campaigning for his re-election. In his travels he encountered one of his constituents, a man by the name of Horatio Bunce. Mr. Bunce bluntly informed Crockett, “I voted for you the last time. I shall not vote for you again.”

Crockett, feeling he had served his constituents well, was stunned. He inquired as to what he had done to so offend Mr. Bunce. Bunce replied, “You gave a vote last winter which shows that either you have not capacity to understand the Constitution, or that you are wanting in the honesty and firmness to be guided by it. The Constitution, to be worth anything, must be held sacred, and rigidly observed in all its provisions.” “I take the papers from Washington and read very carefully all the proceedings of Congress. My papers say that last winter you voted for a bill to appropriate $20,000.00 to some sufferers by a fire. Well, Colonel, where do you find in the Constitution any authority to give away public money in charity? No Colonel, Congress has no right to give charity. Individual members may give as much of their own money as they please, but they have no right to touch a dollar of the public money for that purpose.”

“The people have delegated to Congress, by the Constitution, the power to do certain things. To do these, it is authorized to collect and pay moneys, and for nothing else. Everything beyond this is usurpation, and a violation of the Constitution. You have violated the Constitution in what I consider to be a vital point. It is a precedent fraught with danger to the country, for when Congress once begins to stretch its power beyond the limits of the Constitution, there is no limit to it, and no security for the People.”

“I could not answer him,” said Crockett. “I was so fully convinced that he was right.” I said to him, “Well, my friend, you hit the nail upon the head when you said I had not sense enough to understand the Constitution. If you will forgive me and vote for me again, if I ever vote for another unconstitutional law, I wish I may be shot.”

After finishing the story, Crockett said, “Now sir, you know why I made that speech yesterday. There is one thing now to which I will call your attention. You remember that I proposed to give a weeks pay? There are in that House many very wealthy men, men who think nothing of spending a weeks pay, or a dozen of them, for a dinner or a wine party when they have something to accomplish by it. Some of these same men made beautiful speeches upon the debt of gratitude which the country owed the deceased, yet not one of them responded to my proposition. Money with them is nothing but trash when it is to come out of the people. But it is the one great thing for which most of them are striving, and many of them sacrifice honor, integrity, and justice to obtain it.”

“A democracy cannot exist as a permanent form of government. It can only exist until the voters discover that they can vote themselves largesse from the public treasury. From that moment on, the majority always votes for the candidates promising the most benefits from the public treasury with the result that a democracy always collapses over loose fiscal policy, always followed by a dictatorship. The average age of the world’s greatest civilizations has been 200 years.” Alexander Tytler

“Great nations rise and fall. The people go from bondage to spiritual truth, to great courage, from courage to liberty, from liberty to abundance, from abundance to selfishness, from selfishness to complacency, from complacency to apathy, from apathy to dependence, from dependence back again to bondage.”

A young woman was about to finish her first year of college. Like so many others her age, she considered herself to be a very liberal Democrat, and among other liberal ideals, was very much in favor of higher taxes to support more government programs, in other words redistribution of wealth.

She was deeply ashamed that her father was a rather staunch Republican, a feeling she openly expressed. Based on the lectures that she had participated in, and the occasional chat with a professor, she felt that her father had for years harbored an evil, selfish desire to keep what he thought should be his.

One day she was challenging her father on his opposition to higher taxes on the rich and the need for more government programs. The self-professed objectivity proclaimed by her professors had to be the truth and she indicated so to her father. He responded by asking how she was doing in school.

Taken aback, she answered rather haughtily that she had a 4.0 GPA, and let him know that it was tough to maintain, insisting that she was taking a very difficult course load and was constantly studying, which left her no time to go out and party like other people she knew. She didn’t even have time for a boyfriend, and didn’t really have many college friends because she spent all her time studying.

Her father listened and then asked, “How is your friend Audrey doing?”

She replied, “Audrey is barely getting by. All she takes are easy classes, she never studies, and she barely has a 2.0 GPA. She is so popular on campus; college for her is a blast. She’s always invited to all the parties, and lots of times she doesn’t even show up for classes because she’s too hung over.”

Her wise father asked his daughter, “Why don’t you go to the Dean’s office and ask him to deduct a 1.0 off your GPA and give it to your friend who only has a 2.0. That way you will both have a 3.0 GPA and certainly that would be a fair and equal distribution of GPA.”

The daughter, visibly shocked by her father’s suggestion, angrily fired back, “That’s a crazy idea, how would that be fair! I’ve worked really hard for my grades! I’ve invested a lot of time, and a lot of hard work! Audrey has done next to nothing toward her degree. She played while I worked my tail off!”

The father slowly smiled, winked and said gently, “Welcome to the Republican party.”

have you ever done something really, really hard - something you thought to be impossible - and when you were finished, you were a better person because you stuck it through?
that is us, folks.
i for one, am excited that we as Americans get to prove ourselves (again). We have the opportunity to show the world what happens when diligence, hard work and discipline are applied to seemingly overwhelming odds.
Yes, some will fail - mostly those cited by the author as expecting free healthcare, or handouts in general - but the majority of us who see America as a beacon of real HOPE, a country founded on liberty and freedom for all, a country that knows no color or creed, we can take this country back from the brink - we can fend off the looming evil of Socialism.
There is a reason why the boys and girls of WWII were considered the Greatest American Generation. Let us not forget their sacrifices, no matter how appealing, or existentially rewarding it may be to do so.
no longer used to personal accountability, our new mantra; “Give me convenience or give me death”, echoes thru our suburbs and slums, alleyways and avenues. We’ve forgotten what those sacrifices meant, and i pray that we’ll rise to this new challenge as more than just sheep being led by their elected shepherd, rather as freemen and women, bravely facing their futures.

Oh yah, he's a Republican all right!

TIM RUSSERT: The fact is you are different than George Bush.

SEN. McCAIN: No. No. The fact is that I have agreed with President Bush far more than I have disagreed. And on the transcendent issues, the most important issues of our day, I’ve been totally in agreement and support of President Bush.

He is a neocon-type repuglican. Ron Paul is the true paleconservative. Election is already over. Has been since the Iraq war started.
