Thugs and Murderers
Yesterday on Fox News with Neil Cavuto, John McCain responded to former president Carter's vacation with Hamas in spectacularly unqualified terms. After expressing his sense of "shame" at Carter's "unacceptable" conduct, McCain bluntly referred to Hamas as a group of "thugs and murderers." McCain continued: "You cannot legitimize terrorist, murderers, thugs," by giving them access to the world stage.
McCain joined Clinton in criticizing Obama over his promise to openly negotiate with terror-sponsoring regimes - likely an unreflective, knee-jerk reaction on Obama's part, an automatic opposition to all-things-Bush. Recognizing his dearth of credibility among Jews - and no doubt aware that his starting-from-square-one approach to international affairs merely revealed his lack of sufficient experience to start elsewhere - Obama has now changed his tune with regard to Hamas and criticized Carter's trip.
According to the NY Times, McCain is presently the focal point of a heated foreign policy debate among several competing schools of thought on international affairs. While McCain unhesitatingly delivers black and white conclusions on foreign policy, he seems to be involved in a profoundly philosophic and pragmatic deliberation process, One simply cannot imagine the Obama campaign having yet conducted so serious an effort at critical thinking as has flourished in the McCain camp.

HILLARY & ST. PETER’S PRINCIPLE
"It is this refusal to give ground, even when it is wise to do so, that I think is responsible, along with relentless negative ads, for the recent report that shows a drop in the Clintons' credibility. With the Pennsylvania primary just 5 days away, it appears that Senator Clinton is hacking away at the branch they are both standing on."
Every reader of yours (Tommy Christopher) knows you are a (Clintonite), as much as Michael Tomasky is an (Obamanite), but when your team is loosing sometime’s it’s better too admit defeat, an not risk injury. And, at this point in the game the only points (D-NY) US/Senator Hillary Rodham-Clinton are racking up are disapproval of both the campaign and her personal likability.
The campaign has now gone beyond damaging the opponents that the Clinton's faced during the "Primary" to threating the "Democratic Party", and throwing away the "General Election." At this point someone in the Clinton Campaign should urge an exit strategy leaving Hillary with some sort of leg to stand on.
Being and (Independent) and a citizen of "The Republic of California", she is not my Senator, and I have no dog in this fight. But, wasting years of work, your life's work for a position you can't hope to achieve? It's called the Saint Peter's Principle, Hillary has risen to her height of incompetency, and it's better to be at the job you’re best suited to perform. United States Senator.

Since Sunday, Obama has picked up five supers to Clinton’s zero. With his three elected superdelegate pick-ups yesterday, Obama has moved past Clinton among the group (U.S. Senators, Reps and governors): 96-94. In the overall count now, Obama leads by 142 (1,651-1,509). He has a 164 pledged-delegate lead (1,416-1,252).

I guess the big media still backs Obama and will stand with him until the end? The end will be when he ruins this great country. Shame on you who vote a Muslim into office. If he was a true Christian , he would have left that church and never again have dealings with that rev. Wright. This only shows how two-faced Obama really is. Truth be told, he hates America and what it stands for. He only cares about Africa, just like his preacher teaches him.

Obama has lied over and over, yet the media loves this man. In their eyes he can do no wrong. Yet, let Hillary open her mouth and then Wham! they jump all over her. This is so lop-sided that it is disgusting. The media is ruining this country. They used to report the news. Now they peport their own views and nothing more. What has happened to our country?

Since Carter favors Obama and Obama has Zbigniew Brzezinski, President Carter’s National Security Adviser, working for him now as his Top Security adviser. After the disastrous results in Afghanistan
and Iraq that is hard to imagine. I think Brzesinski's son is also with Obama. Maybe Lake as well? He has around 150 advisers now.
Newsweek published a list of Senator Obama's foreign policy advisers that included Zbigniew Brzezinski and Robert Malley. A few weeks later, the Washington Post on October 2, 2007 published a list of foreign policy advisers for all the major candidates, which list included the names of Zbigniew Brzezinski, Robert Malley, Samantha Power and Susan Rice as advisers to Senator Obama.
Subsequently, Martin Peretz -- an Obama supporter -- wrote at the end of December that he got the "shudders" when thinking about the foreign policy influence of "Zbigniew Brzezinski... Anthony Lake, Susan Rice and Robert O. Malley".

Washington Post columnist David Ignatius (who has strong liberal credentials) also expressed qualms about Senator Obama, and specifically mentioned the realm of foreign policy and his foreign policy advisers.
Obama's church is willing to post a Hamas article on the Pastors page of their bulletin. Obama remains at that church. That is implied endorsement of Hamas.
Hamas is an arm of the Muslim Brotherhood. Their memo states they are going to destroy America from the inside.
Obama's father was Arab African as per Kenya records. Obama has strong support in the Arab/Muslim quarter both domestic and foreign. That support goes back to them from him.
Barack Obama has not the integrity required to lead the United States of America. I question his qualifications, his judgment and his Patriotism.

From me. Thank you Sir. I have kept your first posts to use as needed, giving you credit. They were written so well and answered hard to respond to posts.
Hope you don't mind if you do then I won't.

Thank you Barack for being the Gentlemen in the face off with a bitchy candidate last night.
From me: There was quite a lot more about Avery and Obama that didn't come out. But it will. If you just blindly support Obama then fine. But if you really want to find the truth then it is there. I found some of it, but I kinda think there is more to come.

AN ENCORE FOR THE BRZEZINSKI DOCTRINE OF REVANCHISM
The Obama campaign deserves the closest sustained scrutiny; its Messianic qualities have not been seen since the days of Jimmy Carter, the president who promised that he would never lie. Obama, like the Carter of 1976, is a highly artificial product. Carter turned his foreign policy over to Brzezinski and his clique of Russia-hating eastern European émigrés and their children. Brzezinski's entire adult life has been dedicated to what might be called revanchism the obsessive desire to obtain revenge from the Russian people for the events of the Second World War and the Cold War. It was in the service of that anti-Russian monomania that Brzezinski decided in 1976 to foment the rise of Islamic fundamentalism, which he touted as the greatest single bulwark against Soviet communism. As part of this insane project, Brzezinski was the prime mover in the overthrow of the Shah of Iran, and was then instrumental in installing the Ayatollah Khomeini in power in Tehran. Brzezinski cared less about the Middle East and its oil than he did about the need for a center from which Islamic fundamentalism of the most retrograde type could radiate out into the soft southern underbelly of the USSR. For Brzezinski, the space between the southern frontier of the Soviet and the Indian Ocean littoral became an "arc of crisis," and his handiwork is with us until this day. The 1980 Carter Doctrine, which announced that the United States was determined to dominate the Persian Gulf against all comers, is at the root of the first Gulf War, of the present Iraq war, and of the clash with Iran which could come at any moment, as the most recent Gulf of Tonkin stunt near Hormuz has demonstrated.
To this day, Brzezinski takes diabolical pride in having unleashed the decade-long Afghan War, which he touts as the Soviets' Vietnam debacle. Brzezinski was very much a part of the effort that led to the creation of al Qaeda as a wholly owned subsidiary of US and UK intelligence, with an initial tasking of bleeding the Russians white north of the Khyber Pass.
BEWARE OF MESSIANIC PLATITUDES
If they are to survive much longer, the American people need to become far more skeptical and critical in their evaluation of political candidates. They need to finally invalidate P.T. Barnum's famous dictum about suckers and how there is one born every minute. They need to radically reform their own set of political criteria of judgment. Have they learned anything from their own colossal folly? Are they ready to repeat their own tragic gullibility with Obama, or with some other demagogue?

TAZADA,I have that email from Obama. I was quoting Hillary's email re 5-1. READ! You also missed the point. 3.1 million donors are a list of Obama donors. Not a dollar figure.

"All of these are Anti America figures that are friends with Obama in some way or another..."
All the people mentioned are enemies of "OLD" America. The old American way of thinking was jacked up. There were no good old days for people not born white.
