Political Punch

Joe C,

you don't get it. Osama and Co. don't want to just wage war for it's own sake. THEY WANT TO DECLARE VICTORY. If Obama wins the election, and he prematurely pulls troops out of Iraq as he has pledged to do, that will be the victory Osama wants.

I am heartened to see at least some people on here "get" it. Osama and Co want this war to continue and it's McCain they will celebrate, not Obama.

Their plan is to bankrupt America and the West, a plan that is working quite well from where I'm standing. Al Qaida WANTS a McCain presidency, and is terrified of an Obama presidency, because they need the war to continue for the plan to succeed.

This is why we'll see a video from Osama on Nov 1 claiming that an Obama presidency is a cause for celebration and proof that we can be "converted". Because without McCain in the WH, Osama's war is lost. Hell, Obama might even go after his hideouts in Afghanistan and Pakistan!!

I'm glad to see that at least some people see this...we'll see if it's enough on Nov 4th.

Rep King, President Bush, and John McCain: shame on you all, you all (especially McCain) should be intelligent enough to see that it's your actions that will cause terrorists to celebrate. Obama is our only chance to get out of this mess.

Heck, he might even be able to pull off some kind of peace in the Middle East! THEN what would Al Qaida and the Carlyle Group and Haliburton do?!!

Jillibean - wake up and smell the coffee. The terrorist state of mind was the same as those in Vietnam, kill enough soldiers and the weak kneed Americans will turn and run tail. If you cannot stand behind the troops, then feel free to stand in front of them. Also throwing money at a broken system doesn't do anything. How many states promised millions of dollars in gambling revenues to education if they allowed gambling and they are crying for more money still. Fix your local system first, then maybe you should get more money.

It's just a shame more people in Washington are not willing to tell the truth about this man called Obama. I salute you Rep. King.

Now it looks like "balanced" ABC news pulled my link again. What's the matter ABC? Are you folks really scared of Barack Milhouse Obama getting negative exposure? If you people want to see some pictures of Obama supporters, check this out.

Yes, they do hate America.

What's the matter ABC? Why don't you just man up and tell us all what you really think? Why do you folks have to be cowards and hide under the mantle of impartiality?

Well it looks like "balanced" ABC news pulled my previous comments. If you people want to see some picture of Obama supporters, check this out.

Yes, they do hate America.

"if people truly love their children and care about the troops, then they already know not to support mccain over either obama or the candidate who will be the best President that America needs, Senator Hillary Clinton"

if people REALLY supported the troops, they would look at who the active military is supporting the most. Number One is Ron Paul. Number Two is Barack Obama. Explain to me how voting for Hillary Clinton is supporting the troops??? Ask the troops who they would like as their commander in chief before you start spreading propaganda.

My letter to Congressman King:
Mr. King,

I have lived in Iowa my entire life. I was born in Iowa County and I graduated from Iowa Wesleyan College. I take pride in Iowa and I believe that Iowans are some of the best of what the United States has to offer.

Your comments on March 7th regarding Barack Obama are a barrier to others outside of Iowa to understand this belief. As a congressman, I’m sure your intent was not to belittle the people of Iowa with your comments. I believe a full apology is the only way to clean the tarnish that you have left in the minds of others throughout the country and world of Iowans.

I do not share your belief that “terrorists win” with an Obama Presidency. I believe that the opposite shall occur. Obama has the opportunity to meet with other world leaders in order to put an end to radical religious forces. Just with his name, Obama, many radical Islamists may decide NOT to become a suicide bomber because the political leader of the United States has similar Islamic ancestry as him or her. We have a major opportunity here to put an end to radical elements and help others understand that we all come from the same basic elements – Carbon, Hydrogen, and Oxygen.

While you’re at it, please also increase your efforts and spending on education. Everyone has something to teach and to learn. If we increase the real experience of education, reasoning, and understanding we can turn short, misinformed sound bites into real communication with an educated and thoughtful electorate. I’m sure that would make your job much easier.

I agree with Greg Neubeck's comment. I've been following Bill and Hillary Clinton's criminal and traitorous careers for many years now.I wonder how people could possibly support and vote for them. Seeing Hillary Clinton on TV with people in the background waving their Hillary signs and jumping up and down screaming for her makes me wonder how our culture has changed.We have lost any sense of accountibility and responsibility in this country. Bill and Hillary Clinton should be in prison. If it would be normal, hardworking folks like us who did things that Bill and Hillary did, we would be in prison. Bill and Hillary Clinton are liars, theives, extortionists and murderers who want to rip off every hard working person for their socialist agenda. People, WAKE UP! We need to take our country back before it is to late. A vote for Hillary or Obama, is a vote for communism.

I guess our freedom of speech only pertains to you who speak out FOR leftist views...The guy who left the first comment needs to go back and take grammer..That would be "our election" not "are election:

I believe this comment is irrational and shows great stupidity on his part. First of all tell me what Terrorist have to do with are presidential election, tell me what these 3rd world countries like iran, iraq have to do with America. Where they set roadside bombs down were citizen are afraid. Tell me what this barbianism has to do with my Presidential Canditate Obama.

Congressman Steve King is shedding some truth on an American culture that has lost its way. The press should reveal Obama's connections to hard left figures and his own voting record that is extremely liberal. And the press should reveal Obama's connections muslim relatives and organizations. Sadly, so much of American moral and political culture has become so tolerant of everything except traditional Christianity and traditional values, that people seem to be rushing American to national suicide.

All people who are voting for Obama should be asked when has, he ever said anything that didn’t amount to out right stupidity when it comes to foreign policy.

Don't forget Mr. King that President Bush and his family are close friends with Osama Bin Laden family. Remember they wre able to fly out of the United States when all other flights were grounded. May be this is why Osama can not be found.

Americans had chosen a wrong candidate for a Republican Party.Are Americans robots that they let the media choose a candidate for them?

Rep. King has been a staunch supporter of immigration reform, and hence a supporter of his own people. He deserves immense credit and support for his posture. But this statement is a different matter altogether. Barack Obama couldn't possibly be any worse than George Bush.

I think the reason we haven't been attacked in a meaningful way since 9/11 is because al Qaeda and company have chosen not to. Bin Laden has us right where he wants us. We're hated in the world like never before; we're going deeper into debt every day to finance this way, and our dollar is sinking like a stone; and Bush is the most unpopular sitting president in my lifetime. Republicans have become so unpopular because of this war that bin Laden deserves much of the credit for the Republicans' defeat in 2006. In a sense, he brought down our government.

It would be easy too easy for al Qaeda to launch another attack. They would only have to enter the country with the other illegal aliens, and their weapons could be smuggled in in bales of marihuana.

Since our borders are standing wide open, we're only kidding ourselves if we think George Bush has stopped more attacks.

You cry babies are so incredibly lame! Do you really think that if King had not made his comments that the outcome would be any different. The facts remain, our enemies do have a preference as to who is in power. And sometimes perception is greater than reality.

Jim Wallis, the evangelical theologian and best-selling author, gets the last word.

"Like his politics or not, support his candidacy or not -- but don't disparage Barack Obama's faith, his church, his minister or his credibility as an articulate Christian layman who feels a vocation in politics," Wallis wrote in a blog last week.

"Those falsehoods are simply vicious lies and should be denounced by people of faith from across the political spectrum."

Mr. Robert Moon needs to take some college course, or workshop on what racism is all about, if he is not able to recognize Mr. King's racist comments.

Thank you, Rep King, the US needs more leaders like you.

WHAT REP. KING SAID WAS NOT BIGOTED OR RACIST IN ANY WAY. You foolish democrats always turn everything into race. King said that the terrorists would be happy if Obama was elected because Obama is for withdrawing the troops and surrendering. King also said that Obama's middle name is a common name in the Middle East and the Muslims over there would see some sort of a connection. There's nothing racist in that statement, King just stated how Muslims in the Middle East feel about names. King never actually said Obama'a middle name.

This election is going to be ridiculous because anytime someone criticizes Obama for any reason they will be called racists and bigots.

To: A reader
"Just tried to email Rep. King's office in Washington, the form wouldn't allow me to send an email because my zip code was not from Iowa. Is that legal to not allow me to email a US Rep?

I wonder if King realizes that the 100 years of quagmire Sen. John W. McCain promises is precisely what Al Qaeda wants."

Reid, Pelosi and all the dems do the same thing. They only want to hear from their constituents. You can, however, write a letter or, for the leadership positions, go the their official sites and post a message.

As to your post about McCain, you obviously have listened to his comments via the mainstream media. If you stopped for a minute and thought about it in a historical context, you wouldn't put your foot in your mouth that way. What do I mean?

Well, let's see, we have troops in Europe, right? Since D-Day we've had troops on the ground in Europe. Earlier than that we had troops in England prepping for the liberation of Europe. Is THAT a quagmire, skippy?

Iraq isn't even a quagmire and never was. But folks like you pronounced it a quagmire 5 days into the liberation effort when the troops out-ran their supply lines and had to wait for supplies to catch up. Hardly a quagmire but the leftist, anti-Americans who run the media had to misrepresent the facts to start building an anti-Bush, anti-war movement.

Oh, and to the moron who said, "War never brings piece." What the hell planet are you from? There is no peace without victory over one's enemies, and more often than not, that means there was a war to settle things. Think "Revolutionary War", "Civil War", "Spanish-American War", WWI, WWII, etc. Read a history book.

Kevin says "I will keep my vote for a worthy democrat."

Hey Kevin - guess you're not voting then.

Interesting that Hillary is fond of claiming to have been a key player in the formulation of Clinton Foreign Policy: 9/11 was a direct result of the Clinton Administration’s feckless responses to the numerous Al-Qaida provocations and terrorist assaults against our national interests; as well as, Clinton’s inexplicable temerity in refusing to take Osama bin Laden into captivity when offered several times by the Sudanese. Clinton then exercised little more than his jawbone as bin Laden trained literally thousands of terrorists in his Afghan camps. All of which, convinced bin Laden that he could strike our homeland with relative impunity. The potential for success in bin Laden’s planned assault on our homeland was significantly enhanced by the infamous Gorelick memo, (Jamie Gorelick being a Hillary protege'), which the Clinton Administration promulgated to prohibit any terrorist information exchange between our FBI and CIA intelligence operatives. Further, in the Dec. 4, 1998 Presidential Daily Intelligence Brief , Clinton was advised that Bin Laden was preparing to hijack US aircraft to employ in terrorist attacks against our homeland. He was apparently too consumed in his pursuit of Monica to take follow-up action. However, history will record the most heinous assault on America's national security interests by a U.S. president as Clinton's transfer of our most advanced missile guidance technology to the CHICOM for a few campaign shekels. A CHICOM financial arrangement which Hillary continued under Norman Hsu and her ChinaTown dishwasher scam. Does any rational person really want to return the Clinton cabal/scandals to the White House? Greg Neubeck

This is the reason why our country is the way it is. We americans should come together and bring in a new america, one that doesn't care about religion,race,gender or political stand. America is the land of the free! So even though we disagree with what this man has stated, we still need to embrace him and all who believe in him. Are you not tired of all the name calling? God takes care of those who believe in him and what he stands for. We as people are so fast to criticize someone for the things that they say, right or wrong, everyone has the right to say what it is that they have on their mind. We may not agree but isn't that what this country stands for, "Freedon of speech"? I believe that however the elections turn out, that is the way it is suppose to be. I wish for this country to come together and show the rest of the world that we are not weak in any way. I remember when 9-11 happened, America came together like i have never seen it come together before. And I was proud because we have shone that even in adversity we come together as one. God bless and have a good day.

To all those "creeped out" by the facts, do tell me something..what creeps you out more, is it what the Congressman said or what you viewed at these following links?

http://www.obsessionthemovie.com/

http://www.terrorismawareness.org/what-really-happened/

And by the way, this is not a "republican-democrat" thing,
Mr. George Bush is also clueless...

http://www.amazon.com/Eye-Facing-Consequences-Dividing-Israel/dp/0971734704

Some people are creeped out to hear the clear facts/truth spoken..it chills them to the bone, they simply can't handle the truth. Denial may "feel better" but it does not win your safety & security in the long run...it's a very dangerous game that some in our country want to play. We want the soldiers home too, but when you are at war, you have to fight, and support the fight in order to win. Denial=surrender.

What I find so chilling is not the odd, crazed congressman who I hope will be voted out the next possible time, but that so many seem to support the bigotry.

Rep. King is 100% correct. Too bad too many people are blind.

For Republican in Kansas:

Michelle Robinson Obama wrote a senior thesis for her BA in Sociology from Princeton U in 1985. I downloaded a copy from the web and read it through. The premise of the thesis is that there are two groups of people differentiated by skin color. Those two groups are (1) black, and (2) white. The thrust of the thesis deals with the manner in which blacks and whites interact, and how these interactions change over time. She states that she felt she did not belong at Princeton (probably correct) and felt like a visitor. She concludes that yes, there is some change in the mixing of the races over time, but implies that that is because whitey controls everything, and that if a black wants a job, then they have to cozy up to the man. The thesis is about Michelle's feelings, and reflects her mindset that everything -- everything -- is about race. Here is a woman who received a world-class education (who paid for it and how did she get in?) but four years later, is still whining about "still feel[ing] like a visitor on campus; as if i really don't belong" in the university community. Now she is making a six-figure income living in a $million-plus home (bought under questionable circumstances), and just now she is "proud to be an American." For Obama to choose a whiney racist for his wife says a lot about him. To imagine them (especially her) on the world stage is embarrassing. For her to have any influence on domestic policy could be racist retaliation against non-black people. By the way, there is no indication that the first draft of the thesis was made in crayola.

I don't see King's comments as racist. He is simply stating a reality from Islam's point of view.

Imagine that a white man named Ahmed James Smith were elected president of Iraq (his father was American and his mother Iraqi).I imagine that American's might view this as a great success in the effort to spread American-style democracy around the world.

Unfortunately we only have a choice between 3 democrats, Obama, McCain and Clinton. The true conservatives dropped out long ago.

Matters not which one is elected, we will pay a hefty price. We will lament daily and wish that the U.S.A would have paid alot more attention to whom we elected to hold public offices instead of just electing someone because they promise to give us something.

Very few of the elected officials could care one whit about the U.S.A. and the Constitution. They only care on what it is that they can get from being elected to office.

We will truely get what we deserve and non should complain about it.

Good luck all.

I am a Democratic resident of Iowa's Fifth Congressional District, and I want the world to know that Steve King does NOT represent me or many other citizens of this district. His hateful fearmongering is reprehensible. Barack Obama's name does not make him a radical Islamic terrorist and Steve "King"'s name does not make him a noble man. This is not the first time this man has embarrassed the Fifth District and the entire state of Iowa. We have a Republican plurality in this district, and unfortunately many of them seem to feel they need to vote for the party, regardless of the abominable record of Steve King.

Would a US presidential candidate named "Adolf" stood much of a chance of winning an election in the 40's?

Whether or not you agree or disagree with the article, the main reason why any rational, thinking person would avoid voting for either Clinton or Obama is because they're both socialists.

Why not vote for someone who believes in capitalism, a free market, the Constitution and the rule of law? Sadly, I'm not totally convinced that McCain is that person either.

But a vote for Hillary or a vote for Obama is a vote for al Qaeda, Hamas, and Hezbollah.

You might as well vote for Hugo Chavez or Raul Castro or Kim Jong Il.

Thank you, Rep. Steve King, you just reminded me why I should not vote for any republicans. I thought to make an exception for McCain, but hey, both are part of that party that he represents. I will keep my vote for a worthy democrat.

He represents the worst elements in both the Republican and Democrat
Parties!
Make no mistake Ethnic Bigots in both
Parties have pandered to peoples fears regarding Mr Obama's middle name!
Former Democrat Senator Bob Kerry comes to mind!
There is No place in politics for this
Garbage! Let's debate the issues and keep the bigotry out of race from both sides of the aisle!

HE'S RIGHT

Lie ...Cheat... And semantics...No worry as long as opening Pandora's box is blamed on someone else.

They are out of touch with ordinary people because they don't earn that honest buck. "I would never demean a political party... but."

Good old semantics... Playing around with the truth. Taking the bible and using it like a punchline to fit your own ends.That bothers me most of all, because their winning way is to do whatever is necessary. Regardless if it kills people in the process. They have such contempt for human life that they remind me of the aliens in "The arrival". But they are more interesting.

Have you seen the civilian casualty rate in Iraq lately? there will be terrorists coming out of Iraq for the next 200 years. You can already see republicans laying the foundation for a future of denial.

It is just funny how some of you ignorant people think. It is apparent that you all are just repeating what you've heard. To Seah- you've taken your comments straight out of the playbook-sounds like plagarism to me-those comments are copied and pasted. And to RTB:you stated that if Obama is elected, the country will fall into a state of weakness. HELLO!! Beavis. The country is ALREADY in a state of weakness. Look at the U.S. dollar, look at the borders,look at the FAKE war. Do you remember 911? And to think these things happened pre-Obama. Your precious Republicans were in office. Do you think before you speak?

On November 1, 2004, even Fox News reported that the terrorist strategy in defeating us is to “bleed America to bankruptcy” through occupation.

King should understand that occupation is essential to the success of Bin Ladens strategy, before condemning our troops to unsustainable occupation. Bleeding the Soviets to bankruptcy was the successful strategy that Ronald Reagan used in the Soviet / Afgan war. We taught this strategy to Bin Laden when he was a “freedom fighter” for our causes. Unfortunately, Bin Laden has not forgotten, and as a terrorist has used it against us. King’s fearmongering far outweighs any concern he has for our troops. When strategy fails as dismally as here, people expect it to be changed.

Obama, will withdraw our troops. Strategic strikes will replace occupation—defeating the primary strategy to bankrupt us. Our troops will no longer be obligated to be mere targets for Al Qaedea bullets and bombs in a political shooting gallery.

Al Qaedea’s success is premised on politicians like Mr. King refusing to admit to arrogant mistakes and real economic conditions at home. If only King were as dedicated to our troops and national prosperity, as he is to facilitating Bin Laden’s strategy of bankrupting us through occupation.

Here we go again, yelling about what Bill Clinton did in some pardons,did Hillary sign off on them, lets get back on point instead of mud slinging to distract readers of the issue, what is Obama hideing, he promises change, change to what his own advisor now say he has diddly sqwap plans, any thing he has claimed his advisor say he has no real plann, so just idle talk, like his 100 and so "present votes" when a bill would require his signature as president(God Forbid) would he say "present" and run back to his room??

No wonder America is in the trouble she is in if that idiot is any example of who we have in Washington, DC! He needs to crawl back under the rock from which he came!

Thanks, Senator. for reminding me of why I no longer vote Republican.

Wow, there are some Republicians that must be getting VERY scared at what lies ahead in the General Election.

I'll say this, if all the ammo they got agains Barack Obama is his name, they may as well swear him in tomorrow cause i don't think there are enough idiots to buy that weak ass argument.

Then again we did elect GWB...twice

I still like the odds. GOBAMA!!

we have to get away from the vile and disgusting nature of america. when white america is afraid of what they believe is inevitiable change they lash out. I am afraid thaat this is just the beginning. I f we a a country do not collectively disavow such behavior we will place Obama and others like him in a continual maze of hatred.

as much as I respect Obama for not resorting to the tactics of folks like these. I want him to fight back , and fight back hard. I will not think any worse of hi or his campaign of respect. you can turn the other cheek only so much. King,the GOP idot and others like him need to be crushed politically.

Hillary and McCain need to be held accountable for those in their campaigns who have issues similar insults.

This guy is a freakazoid. He is the reason the GOP is losing credibility -- quickly in this country. If I lived in Iowa with this guy in the House, I would vote him out -- or move. Sad commentary on America -- and the lack of integrity and intelligence.

Bush is the one who had terrorists dancing in the streets. He brought our military into Iraq and Afghanistan and picked fights which both enabled and "legitimized" them in the eyes of many of their people. When Reagan left Beirut after the marine barracks bombing, the terrorists did not follow. When the French left Algeria, the terrorists did not follow. Terrorism occurs because of political reasons, not because "They hate our freedoms" or some other moronic reasoning (that people in the US are just so eager to swallow without questioning). Remove the political reasons, and you end terrorism. By going over there and using force, you just give them more reasons to fight back. You can't solve all the world's problems with the military.

Rep. Steve ( childish ) King 1. You need Jesus. 2. Have fun because your days as a politician are over. And 3. Get your resume together because you will need it for finding a Job.

It is about time, Americans get a leader who thinks about the whole World and not me, me attitude as America had been for the past. Peace does not come by waging wars. Although, i am not American, but I feel that the problems of America is not the ordinary people but the choice of leaders who are war inclined. Of all the candidates, if I have my will, the one to go for is Obama. He is young, dynamic and inteligent. The American Precidency should not be on the family lines. the Bushism and the Clitonsm.

according to you Rep. Steve King if Obama were to become president of the united s. there will be wild celebration omong the terrorists or this world.
well actually Obama has been winning, state after state, caucus after caucus, delegates after delegates, yet the only ones i see celebrating wildly are the millions of your fellow American that wants him to stop the war in Iraq & Afghanistan.
i hope your Hon. is not indirectly calling American citizens terrorist, who else will celebrate America than Americans, or is he implying that the president of the Us will invariebly be the president of the wolrd?

if you look close enough you will notice that i did not complete the name United states because nothing is united about the states of America, how else can you explain a member or Rep. calling a presidential candidate & serving congress man 'A FRIEND TO TERRORIST' just because Saddam Hussien was bad does not make all Hussiens bad, unless his implying that they are related.

It appears all he wants is people to take a closer look at Obama and dig into his past and ties with other groups, every one has slamed Hillary to no end and every one says its fair, but to question Obama is a no no. Obama has preached change and this and that, of course there will be a cange no matter if he or she is elected anything be better than what we have now, to a point, if Obama is elected the whites better get a group ready to fight for civil rights and equal treatment as it clearly shows by the votes its a "beat the whittie" and then you have his advisors saying waite he has no plans or intentions to bring about these changes, its strange his advisors now bring the truth out, its a black-v-white election, one needs to consider if no black was running would there be so many black voters in this race, think about it

In regard to your statement “Obama win would have terrorists ‘dancing in the street’ because of his middle name, who his father was and because he wants to pull out of the Middle East” is utterly ridiculous. It is demeaning and racial. I am outraged at your comment!
It is absolutely impossible for me to understand how you can actually continue to condone the Iraq war. We should have ended our involvement when we “got” Saddam Hussein. That is, we never should have started the war in the first place. Not until we were sure Iraq was the culprit of 9-1-1.
Since then, we have spent billions of dollars and too many lives to support our mistake. We people who are not financially wealthy cannot afford to keep the war going. It is too expensive and deadly and will not end until we stop it. Pouring more and more money into the conflict will not resolve the conflict. Our country has suffered way too much to continue this fiasco. Money is not necessarily the only reason to end the war…the world attitude about us has been tarnished severely. I support Barack Obama to end the war and misery you Republications have created.
I am glad we are free country and can express our opinions but we need to be responsible for what we say anyway.

Iowans just voted for one Democrat to take over a Republican Congressional seat. They may just decide a that Democrat needs to replace King in Congress.

The congressman's comments made about Obama hurts McCain because it shows the lack of respect for McCains wishes not to run this type of campaign. Remember McCain loss to Bush in part because Republicans were told he had a
illegitimate BLACK child. In fact McCain adopted a child from Pakistan.

Question to all of you Obama supporters. The other evening, Obama, in response to a Hillary Clinton comment, stated words to the effect, I am skinny, but I grew up tough in Chicago. I presume that such comment was made to cause people to imagine an inner city kid from Chicago fighting to get ahead.
Now, when you read the profile of Obama, which is contained in wikipedia.com, it is stated that Obama, from fifth grade to 1979 attended the Punahou School in Hawaii. (born in 1961, so, in 1979, would be age 18, just right to graduate from High School)
Then, wikipedia.com comments are, he went to Los Angeles and studied at Occidental College for two years. Then, he moved on to Columbia University, NYC, where he received his BA in 1983. From there,worked at Business International Corporation and New York Public Interest Research Group before moving to Chicago to take a job as a community organizer.(wikipedia.com)
So, is this period of time 'that I grew up tough in Chicago' when he was working as a community organizer? Damn, that must have been rough. LOL
Wonder if that is where he first encountered Tony Rezko?
Lots about this guy that no one knows, of is afraid to share, for fear of reprisal or repercussion.

But, time will tell. It always does, but, hopefully, not to late to prevent him being elected, if he gets the nomination.

Congressman King AMEN to your statement about Obama, there is no doubt the country will fall into state of weakness, if by some stretch of imagination Obama should be elected. Its good to hear a political figure to finally speak up and forget Political Correctness, lets get on with the business of defeating Terrorism.

Wow at some of these comments that I read on here. Goes to show you how deep racism goes. Having a middle name that almost no one uses is now cause to point the finger at you as being a terrorist. Lets review things as they stand. Iran and Iraq were pretty much keeping each other in check. Now Iran is dominating the middle east. Only thing changed in Iraq is now the shiites are now in power. The same shiites that are beholding to Iran. Now now do the republicans spin this. America should stay in Iraq and play middle man to religious sects? Lets face it that is all that they are doing over there now. The war to get rid of saddam has been over for years. Spending billions fightin alqueda in iraq, that moved in because the US allowed them to is just preposterous to me. Now the Republicans would like to see america just stay there indefinitely. Unbelievable to me. Does some of these people even think, or are they that narrow minded? I can only shake my head at what america will look like in four years if america stays in Iraq. Its already pretty clear that Al quedas plan is working flawlessly. Devide the US, Stay in Iraq, make the US fight guerillas while using up all the resources of the country to do it. It would be nice if some repulicans with some sense would see things for what they are. It doesnt take a genius to put two and two together.

In 2008, Senator Obama rails against NAFTA in Ohio while his top economic advisor assures the Canadians his rhetoric is just "political positioning."
He promises to opt in to public financing if the GOP nominee does, but then breaks that pledge in real time. He promises to withdraw from Iraq within 16 months, and now his top foreign policy adviser says that he's not relying on the plan.

It turns out those speeches were just words.
And if you can't trust Senator Obama's words, what's left?

Obama is a Farce

Obama gets to be president, the middle east and al queada will be dancing in the streets. Many of them have already were Quoted saying just as much. They are looking forward to it.

He will be Live prey... Not because he is new and inexperience. But for what he believes in.

American People do not know anything about Obama, only what he has told you.
Many times that has been sheer lies.
Telling you one thing, then when called out on it, flip-flops to a direct opposite.

He has told Americans what they wanted, lead them to believe that is what he wants too. says he cares, pretends to be one of the gang, throws in some religion and the he is so good and kind. When in reality he keeps changing his mind about what he wants, Has lied to you and flip-flopped on so much already.

He keeps pumping you up, and leading you on for your votes. Once he gets in office, it is what he wants not you. Evident by his voting record.

He wants to make History, He wants to be the first Black President. He has a non- negotiable allegiance is to his church and the Black people.

He said he will change government. Hmmm I like democracy. You have told, him by your votes to change government. What do you want, Fascism , Socialism, Anarchy? I see many following Obama blindly.....

I wonder if he will make his religion a national thing. He said he will take his religion where ever he goes. Shame I do not like his religion. I like mine.

I do not know what kind of spell he has over some people.......Many should be waking up. Asking Question,Demanding answers, Putting pressure on for the truth and make him answer.

You owe it to yourself, Your Country and the Future of this country.

God Bless American.

We need it now, more than ever.

This shows how apolitical Steve King is, there is no doubt people want to gain relevance where there is no relevance. His arguments does not follows, Terrorist never knew the people in Pentagon (Muslim & Christians) before striking, this is a clear case that Steve King is apolitical. Did he also reason it the other way that they might perhaps because of Obama's middle name soft pedal on attack on the US?

I would like to know what Michelle Obama said in a thesis in college that has to be kept a secret? Can anybody tell me?

Not only will the terrorist rejoice, but the whole world. America should be seen as friends and not enemies. The mind set of war should be dropped. I see Hilary going to tow that line with McCain and Bush.

** 'WHAT DOES IT LOOK LIKE TO THE REST OF THE WORLD??!', OBAMA AS PRESIDENT?!!...
WELL, FOR ONE,THAT AMERICA ISN'T A LIE WHEN IT COMES TO TELLING AN AMERICAN CHILD HOW THEY CAN BE WHAT THEY WORK HARD AND PUT THEIR MIND TO BEING, OR ASKING A CHILD WHAT HE OR SHE WOULD LIKE TO BE WHEN THEY GROW UP,WITH POLICE, DR, LAWYER or PRESIDENT,BEING FEW, AMONGST THE MANY "CHOICES"!!!. FREEDOM? FREEDOM OF CHOICE? FOR WHO, WHOM, JUST ONLY ONE RACE, KIND OR A NAME APPROVED OF??!

WHAT WILL IT LOOK LIKE TO THE REST OF THE WORLD??!!... WHAT HAS AMERICA LOOKED LIKE FOR SO LONG, TO THE REST OF THE WORLD, BEFORE THIS ELECTION?? OH! LETS NOT THINK ABOUT, NOR ADDRESS SUCH??!

SOUNDS LIKE MORE OF THAT TYPICAL 'FEAR'...! FEARS OF A 'REAL' CHANGE.
WHAT IF IT WAS A CHINESE RUNNING FOR PRESIDENT, A RUSSIAN, GERMAN, MEXICAN, ON AND ON ??
WHAT COUNTRY AND FATHER WOULD BE USED ON EM, THEN??!!!

SOMEONE HAS WORKED HARD, SOMEONE HAS BELIEVED, SOMEONE HAS A DREAM, AND WENT THRU MORE THEN MOST, TO BE WHERE THEY ARE TODAY. ITS A DISGRACE TO TEAR SUCH APART, TO TEAR DOWN, "AN AMERICAN WORK AND DREAM"???!!!

NONE OF US ARE THE GREATER POWERS OF THE UNIVERSE, SO 'IF' OTHERS AROUND THE WORLD JUMP FOR JOY, WHO REALLY KNOWS AND 'UNDERSTAND' WHY?! FOR MAYBE IT CAN BE OF GREATER DOORS THAT ARE SHUT, TO OPEN?!! WHO TRUELY KNOWS?
NEGATIVES SEEN ON ANOTHER, MAY TELL MORE ABOUT THE ONE(S) BRINGING EM ON, THEN THE ONE THEIR TALKING (or PERCEIVING) SUCH ABOUT !
KNOWING MORE ABOUT OBAMA IS MAINLY A CALL FOR MORE TO ARGUE ABOUT OR TEAR DOWN, FOR CAN'T EVEN GET PASS 'A-NAME', OH THAT'S RIGHT-TO BE AN AMERICAN YOU MUST BE NAMED JOHN, CHESTER, JAMES, GEORGE, JIMMY, THEODORE,RONALD, GERALD, RICHARD,...OR SIMILAR?!!

This is just the beginning of what more will come. The Republicans and their prostitutes are just warming up their filth and lies machine. They will go to whatever lenght to destroy Obama or Clinton, as they did Kerry with the "swift boat" dirtbags. Of course, McCain will deny or claim any such attacks as "authorized". BS.

I think before anyone posts or says anything about which one of our politicians should be our next president they should take a look at some of the facts about our situation, and then ask the right questions.
First, the United States is legally broke!

Our government is managing our fiscal debt ledger worst than Enron or other corporations that went bust. If you do not believe me, go to the General Accounting Office (GAO) and read what our Comptroller General David Walker has been saying for the past two years in his Fiscal Wake-up Tour. Just type in the Google bar, GAO and then look at the lower right and you will see, Fiscal Wake-up Tour. Please take the time to view some of the videos and look at the slides concerning our fiscal debt. Next, Google 60 Minutes - David Walker and view their program on what he has been screaming for the past two years. Our politicians continue ignoring him.
Once you have done your homework, ask why all we are hearing from our politicians is what additional money they are going to spend for our good, not what programs they are going to cut to save our nation.

They are just like the irresponsible families that are forced into bankruptcy by credit cards. It is just like parents giving their children all of the credit cards and telling them to go spend; we will worry about how we are going to pay them off on December 9, 2008. Why this date?

You need to review S. 2063, “The Bipartisan Task Force for Responsible Fiscal Action Act of 2007.” It requires lawmakers to swiftly address the nation’s long-term fiscal challenges, and to ensure the nation’s future economic security and prosperity.

The Act establishes a bipartisan task force of Congressional Members and Administration officials who will make bipartisan recommendations on how to immediately and substantially improve the government’s long-term fiscal imbalances.

A detailed report of the Task Force’s findings, conclusions, and recommendations (including legislative text required to implement these recommendations) must be submitted to Congress and the President on December 9, 2008.

Simply put, our years and years of spending has finally caught up with us and now it is time to face the facts but our politicians refuse to do so. Our mainstreet media refuses to ask questions of our presidential candidates. In order to fix our financial challenge it is going to take massive program cuts and massive tax increases, however, our politicians do not want to face it, they want to continue spending your tax dollars to buy your votes.
We are almost $10 trillion dollars in debt, our fiscal debt ceiling has been raised five times since 2002. Communist Red China owns $400 billion of our IOUs and has $1.3 trillion U.S. dollars, in cash, in their bank.

The one thing that the Republicans are for getting is this. If anything at all bad happens in Iraq or the if theeconomy gets worse. There is now way in hell Mccain will win November.

Obama/Biden 2008 & 2012

LET THE REPUBLICANS HAVE THEIR FUN NOW. WE KNOW WHAT THEY REALLY ARE. JUST WAIT TILL THE MEDIA STARTS DIGGING INTO INTO MRS. Mc SAME BACKGROUND THE WAY THEY HAVE MICHELLE OBAMA AND BILL CLINTON...OK LISTEN UP: Cindy was not just a ‘drug addict’ people. While running a very important charity AMERICAN VOLUNTARY MEDICAL TEAM she FORGED PRESCRIPTIONS using one of her charity’s Medical Doctor’s prescription pads. A whistle blower by the name of Tom Gosinski (a member of AVMT) and the DEA were all over Miss Cindy and it was only when the media had the story ready to run with it did John call in his pit bulls to do damage control. If you or I were found forging prescriptions we’d be in the slammer. Ms. McCain simply skated into a ‘diverison’ program which in effect meant nothing. She is a vacant slice of white bread whose husband by the way has a deadly form of cancer (Malignant Melanoma) and is by no means a well man at the age of 70. McCain, who I actually admire for his service to the country, is not a bad guy. But president? No sir. To further damage his credibility - the moron in the white house has endorsed him. Talk about loser dust wife...older version of Paris Hilton :). THIS IS JUST THE BEGINNING...LOL. WE HAVE SO MUCH MORE.

The republican's senator uses hate to distract from the point. A tactic done when the commenter is in the wrong. Educated people see through it, others do not. When in war with terrorists one must go to where the terrorists are and operate. The terrorists are operating out of Afghanistan and Pakistan. The two places where Barak Obama wants to focus in on because as we all know Iraq was a colossal mistake. Focusing on the middle name "Hussien" is the Republican Senators attempt to pander to the stupid. The people who'd rather attack then think. The types that shoot at a moving shadow without ever knowing if it's a
