Monsignor Mockery at Empire State GOP Gala
May 30, 2008 10:18 AM
Monsignor Jim Lisante mocks Sen. Barack Obama, D-Illinois, last night at the New York State Republican Party dinner, attended by Vice President Dick Cheney.
Watch HERE.
"One more thing, Lord," Lisante said during the invocation. "Please tell Senator Obama that maybe change is a good thing and that maybe he should think about changing his favorite preacher
"I know a lot more of us would be comfortable with his judgment skills if he hadn’t sat for 20 years through those words offered by his preacher of division, bigotry, and --honestly -- half truths without a word of objection from the Senator. That is, until the media brought it up, and now he doesn’t want any part of the guy. I’m willing to be his new preacher."
I think God has better things to do than listen to this stuff, whether it's coming from the Right or the Left.

Those who would vote for the party that has ruined the country in these seven years, for whatever reason, are only doing it to themselves and will have years to get used to the pleasure.

There is nothing offensive in Lisante's truthful words, unless of course, you are one of those stealth Obama supporters in the media.

When delivering the invocation, the Monsignor was wrong and in extreme poor taste to pander to the crowd of Republicans. He knows what a proper invocation should sound like.....not a shot from the brow to please his audience. God was watching, and he/she could not be too pleased with his performance. But then again, the Monsignor probably did not shell out the $1000 for his seat at the table, so this was his quid pro quo.
Shame on you.

The Republicans have hit the nail on the head, and this is why millions of Democratic voters will vote for John McCain in November. We will not vote for Obama.
Pfleger just did God's work. He sealed Obama's loss in November.

Prestigious PEW?
National recognition?
Right...
The rest of us will continue to rely on AP, CNN, CBS, ABC, FOX, Rasmussen (note the spelling), and the rest of the nationally recognized sources of information.

My gut feeling is that Hillary's prospects in South Dakota were just hurt by this endorsement. Everytime an important newspaper endorses Obama, the guy does bad. I had not pay attention to that until the Indiana Star's endorsement. My husband told me: Maybe Obama doesn't do that bad in Indiana because he lost the endorsement. And bingo, Obama did better than expected in Indiana.
I don't know if people dislike being told straight in their face whom to vote for. I'm just wondering. I am not particularly aware of that since I don't look for newspapers' endorsement in deciding for whom to vote. But I think it has something to do with those people who despise the media.

Whether or not Barack Obama is racist revolves, as it should, with his practices and associations, past and present.
Barack Obama is a member of the racist, anti-American, anti-white, anti-Semite Trinity United Church Of Christ. Obama has been a member for over 20 years.
Until recently, when it became politically incorrect, the racist, hate-mongering, anti-American, Jeremiah Wright was a member of the Obama campaign.
In his own words, Barack Obama views Jeremiah Wright as a spiritual advisor and an "old uncle." Wright married the Obamas and baptized their children.
For anyone, including bloggers, to imply that any person could sit in the pews of a church for over 20 years without absorbing the content of the preacher's sermons is without merit.
As for Barack Obama's public projection on race; the man is half white and half black even though he claims to be black. Obama is, in fact, bi-racial, and should claim his true heritage with pride.

Let's look at this very good information: Rassmussen, which is a Republican polling firm, finding out that Americans consider John McCain the best to handle the most important issues facing the nation should not make us wonder such findings. However, Pew Research one of the most prestigious polling organizations finds out something different, but since Michelle Obama graduated in the early 80's from Princeton this "direct connection" must make us believe that somehow Princeton's profesionalism is compromise with Alumni Roberson(Obama).
I'm connecting the dots!!!!

HELLO?
HELLO??
HELLO???
HILLARY is still running; today, another newspaper ... in South Dakota.. gave it's support to her campaign,
praising :
"Her mastery of complex policy detail is broad and deep, and her experience as a senator and former first lady matches that," the editorial said.
"Measured against her opponent, Clinton is philosophically more moderate. That is likely a good thing for South Dakota"
She is MY candidate of choice.
I will NOT vote for Obama because of his lack of principles and his GREEN
color when it comes to foreign policy!

Wake up America--Obama chose a racist church and racist pastors to advise him and serve on boards with him.
How can Obama claim with any credibility that he wants to unite this country?
He is lying to America.

First, Rasmussen poll are considered as one of the most accurate in the United States.
As for numbers, polls that are properly conducted will produce the same results within the margin of error.
PEW? Let's see if we can make this connection...Princeton Survey Research Associates International...
Does anyone remember the Michelle Obama thesis and where it originated?
Could it be...Princeton?
You connect the dots.

The nuts are trying as hard as they can to portray Obama as racist, but too bad so sad that they guy is 50% black and 50% white. This is so fun to watch. Let me tell you everyone find this so amusing. The other day we were at my mother's in law house and she asked us what was going on with the elections-she is not a political person at all. She asked: At the end what happened? I don't know who won because for what I see it looks like Hillary seems to be changing the rules all the time. My husband and I were craking up!! Even his mother who only watches the 6:00 p.m news was aware of Hillary's constant goalpost moving.

On the right or on the left, what ANY preacher says should have NO bearing on politics. Why is it that only Americans and Muslim nations mix religion with politics? Religion has NO place in political discourse. Keep your myths to yourself.

I bet that there are videos of Obama in many, many churches. The guy knows zillions of preachers. Obama worked with churches as a community organizer.
I bet there are zillions of videos of me in law offices, I'm a legal assistant on my way to become an attorney. I bet there are hundreds of vidoes of my husband on college campuses since he is a college professor. I bet there are hundreds of videos of me in court buildings. See?

"What this said to me is that its a shame that the Republicans are the ones taking up for Hillary Clinton and the damn Democrats are totally silent on the subject. How's that?"
Dear Beebop: The problems is that Democrats are already tired of Hillary. Don't believe?
Gallup: Obama Back Up By Double-Digits
Obama 52, Clinton 42
Pew Research:
Obama 54, clinton 41
Didn't you read the Field poll that came out today from California:
California Dems now favor Obama over Clinton.
Obama 51, Clinton 38
One detail that most people did not pay attention from Quinnipiac poll from Florida:
Who do Florida Democrats preferred as the nominee?
Obama 41, Clinton 41
Man, she got 50% of the vote in the state back in Jan.29
Why have the numbers changed? Why democrats are no longer supporting her?

I am not a math person myself but I happen to be married to a math professor from Florida International University. The rule in Statistics is that the bigger the "universe" the smaller the error. It is an inverse relationship: More people=less error; less people=more error. It is not me just the facts.

What this said to me is that its a shame that the Republicans are the ones taking up for Hillary Clinton and the damn Democrats are totally silent on the subject. How's that?
