and I ask again

if Obama wants to have an increase in the military ranks.

and we do not have enough soldiers now, that we must do a backdoor draft, and have longer deployments. and more deployments.

I live near a military base I hear the families complaints. and I am proud of every service man and woman.

where are the new troops going to come from

Remember

THE DRAFT

now with equal rights comes the fact that young women will be drafted as equally as young men.

so the rate of teenage pregnancy's will rise, and we are now at the lowest level we have ever been.

or

do we empty the Prisons

you know the ones that are full of the 3 strikes your out criminals the ones Rev Wright spoke about in his sermons's you know the ones who are being treated unfairly because they are repeat offenders.

and Obama is willing to invade Pakinstan, Israel, Iran, He wants to increase our troops in Afghanastan and what about North Korea

Bush is leaving a mess, and Obama plans on making it worse.

and if his questioning of Petraus is any indication, Obama has absolutely no clue no clue at all

our troops are doing a tremendous job, at great sacrifice's Hillary fights for them, and fights hard.

she care about our veterans. and fights hard for them too.

Hillary is still our best candidate

and she took PENNSYLVANIA WAY TO GO HILLARY

CRY-BABY-BAMA!

I wish that the PA debate had been more issues-oriented, because Clinton is very strong on the issues.

Whenever discussing the real issues we care about, she shows clear advantage over Obama.

However, I think it is amusing that the Obama people are so upset and blaming ABC for their candidate's poor performance.

The Golden Boy’s Free Ride Ended!

NOW, HE HAS REFUSED TO DEBATE IN NORTH CAROLINA! He only reads pretty scripted speeches from a teleprompter. If Obama can't debate --- he surely can't lead our country.

VOTE HILLARY 2008!

As unpopular as this will be...I believe like Charlie Rangel of NY.,re-instate the draft! Why should this generation enjoy the freedoms of America if they are not willing to fight for these same freedoms. Why should only a few fight for the many? I don't support the Iraq war,or any war for that matter. But shit happens...Patriotism & maturity is greatly lacking in society today from my perspective. Too many are completely comatose & actually don't care about this country. American loyalty is going the way of our economy. Kudos to those that do enlist! But our military is stretched to the limit & stop-loss & 4 tours of duty are inhuman. The draft would eliminate these inhumanities on our volunteer military. And, yes, if I had a son I would expect him to serve his country. The draft is our only choice...

PROUDAMERICAN7:52AMApr 23rd 2008

We need a president who will "immediately" take care of our TROOPS, the economy, education, illegals crossing our borders, among other important things.

OBAMA SAID HE WILL "IMMEDIATELY" REVIEW POTENTIAL CRIMES OF THE BUSH ADMINISTRATION! IS HE NUTS? THE SHINE IS WEARING OFF THIS "GOLDEN BOY" OBAMA REALLY FAST!

Do you feel better knowing that a President Obama is going to spend his time and energy going after his fellow Americans who have been protecting us from the Islamic terrorists who are intent on killing Americans?

That makes a lot of sense --- NOT! Let's waste time and tax-payer dollars looking for potential crimes of the “previous” administration. And that would solve what exactly? Going back in time won’t take care of the present.

I am concerned with the safety of my child, period! So if you need to torture terrorists, go right ahead. Is Obama siding with the terrorists? He does have a lot of terrorist friends.

We really don’t need a “former” Muslim so-called “Christian” who attends an anti-American church, in the White House. He can’t make up his mind who he is and we don’t need him pushing the “button”!

HILLARY OR McCAIN!

VOTE COUNTRY --- NOT PARTY!

Thank you MARK IMPOMENI for bringing this to light !!!

Stop loss is a horrible means to an end , the other alternative will be a draft,
is this what will eventually take place?
The suicide rate of these men is being swept under the rug and they are not receiving the medical treatment they so need and deserve. The numbers are not to be ignored.
Post Traumatic Stress Disorder has to be dealt with now, these soldiers need our help now, congress needs to address this now.

Last year, 121 Army soldiers killed themselves, a 20 % increase from 2006. Attempted suicides and self inflicted injuries have increased by 400 % in the five years since the start of the Iraq war, with 2,100 in 2007 compared to 500 in 2002.
In Minnesota, there have been at least 13 active duty or discharged service men UNDER THE AGE OF 30 who committed suicide since January 1, 2003.
In February 2006, the national VA said it is expecting 2, 900 new cases of new Post Traumatic Stress PTSD cases; the actual number was nearly six times that, with some 17,800 documented cases, according to a 2008 Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans Of America report.

These numbers are not even correct as we speak they are higher!

Hear, hear! Obama the flawed candidate. Now we know that the left-wing nut activists, MoveOn etc, pushed Obama before anyone knew anything about him. For the sake of our country & the Dem. party it must be Hillary. Obama can't win in Nov. His character has been exposed.

1AMERICAN12:19PMApr 23rd 2008

Sorry Obama supporters...I firmly believe you are making a MAJOR mistake.

I would never consider voting for a man who did not stand up for America in his church, or to a hate-spewing, America-damning, so-called "spiritual” mentor-"pastor".

If Obama could not stand up for America there, in his church, with that man, I do not expect him to stand up for America when it counts!!!

HILLARY 2008!

PROUDAMERICAN1:10PMApr 23rd 2008

Do not be fooled by the charisma of this man --- he clearly resents America and wants to "change" it in the way “anti-Americans” want it to be shaped.

Obama has no experience, judgment, credibility nor loyalty toward the USA. He is just a cynical, arrogant political opportunist with no wisdom. For months, Barack Hussein Obama has been talking about fundamental "Change."

Most of us wonder what kind of change he wants? He has not been able to tell us. If we connect the dots --- we can get a pretty good idea of the kind of change Obama is talking about: He is being endorsed by anti-Americans and terrorists Ayers, Wright, Farrakhan, Rezko, and many other people who hate America. He is for the black supremacist and far-left anti-American ideology running things.

His ideas of change are a combination of the ultimate liberal wet dream and America's worst nightmare.

ENOUGH IS ENOUGH! HE’S OUTSPENT HILLARY 4 TO 1 AND STILL CAN’T STOP HER! OUR COUNTRY IS NOT FOR SALE! NO BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA!

CLEARLY, HILLARY CLINTON IS THE WISER CHOICE TO REPRESENT DEMOCRATS THIS FALL.

CAROLINATARHEEL1:21PMApr 23rd 2008

CRY-BABY-BAMA! Had the biased media told the truth about him in December, he wouldn’t be in this race --- John Edwards would.

HILLARY IS TAKING THE "BIG" STATES. OBAMA HAS OUTSPENT HER 4 TO 1 AND HE CAN'T TAKE A "BIG" STATE!
THE DNC AND SUPERDELEGATES NEED TO PAY ATTENTION!

I wish that the PA debate had been more issues-oriented, because Clinton is very strong on the issues. Whenever discussing the real issues we care about, she shows clear advantage over Obama.

However, I think it is amusing that the Obama people are so upset and blaming ABC for their candidate's poor performance.

The Golden Boy’s Free Ride FINALLY Ended!

VOTE HILLARY 2008 --- OR McCAIN WILL WIN IN NOVEMBER!

EASTCOAST2:08PMApr 23rd 2008

OBAMA'S BIGGEST PROBLEMS ARE:

1) Barack Hussein Obama (and all his lies).
2) Michelle Obama (anti-American wife).
3) See #1 and #2.
4) Being surrounded with dangerous anti-American people like the violent bomber Ayers, or the "God Damn America" Jeremiah Wright, or his Kenyan half brother Islamic Jihad terrorist Abongo “Roy” Obama, or his Jewish/Israeli hating best friend Rashid Khalidi, or his close advisor Robert Malley who advocates supporting and helping the terrorist group Hamas, or Mr. McPeaks, Obama’s military advisor who open believes American Jews are the "problem." and “Christian Zionists were driving America's policy in Iraq to benefit Israel,” or Obama’s super delegate and major long term supporter Senator Meeks who openly hates and distrust all whites and gays or Obama’s most dangerous affiliation to Mr. Auchi who was Saddam Hussein’s right hand man and made billions in Iraq and has been a important supporter and behind the scene man throughout Obama’s rise to power.

FINALLY, THE MEDIA IS BEING FAIR AND BALANCED. OBOZO'S FREE RIDE MAY BE OVER --- IT’S JUST TOO SAD THAT HALF THE COUNTRY HAS ALREADY VOTED!

His anti-American wife doesn’t qualify as a first lady.

Obama can’t make up his mind who he is --- and we don’t need him pushing the “button”!

Obama has convinced the DNC we only have 48 states --- not 50! This is wrong!

THINKABOUTIT6:10PMApr 23rd 2008

Most politicians are rich (multi-millionaires) including Obama. At the same time, most don’t make the kind of elitist arrogant remarks that OBAMA made --- And most have not told as many lies as Obama has told.

Obama has run his entire campaign on lies. Too bad the media didn’t release them until AFTER half the country had voted.

Hillary gives about 10% of her income to charity --- compared to that elitist, cheap-skate, Obama, who only gives less than 1% in most years.

Hillary pays another 33% in taxes --- which is 12% above the average in her tax bracket. She even proposes taxes on herself and others in her tax bracket. Here are more links to government officials speaking out/offended by Obama`s remarks --- Mont, Indy, and WV are weighing in:

OBAMA SAID WE HAVE TOO MUCH AT STAKE FOR US TO BE DIVIDED.

IF HE REALLY BELIEVES THAT --- THEN HE SHOULD DEMAND THAT THE FLORIDA AND MICHIGAN VOTERS BE COUNTED.

WE HAVE 50 STATES --- NOT 48.

OBAMA CAN'T HAVE IT BOTH WAYS.

CAROLINA6:34PMApr 23rd 2008

TELL CRY BABY OBAMA THAT WE CAN RUN ANY ADS IN NORTH CAROLINA, AS LONG AS WE TELL THE TRUTH.

OBAMA LIES EVERY TIME HE OPENS HIS MOUTH!!

FIRST; Obama denied having any relationship with Tony Rezko and contended he had only spent 5 hours with him, discussing lawyer/client matters. He finally admitted knowing Rezko for a long time. Rezko has contributed almost a quarter of million dollars to his campaign; and paid for almost a third of his house.

SECOND; Obama lied about being aware or hearing that his friend-mentor-pastor had made any anti-white; anti-American; and anti-Semitic statements. Five days later he admitted that he had heard Jeremiah Wright make some of the controversial statements. Don't forget him spewing: "God Damn America" in a church of God.

THIRD; Obama said he never had accepted campaign contributions from oil corporations. We later learned he has accepted thousands of contributions from Exxon/Mobile etc. He even ran a Campaign Ad saying he did not take money from oil corporations.

FOURTH; Obama said he had never accepted campaign contributions from subprime loan corporations. Then, we learned he has accepted over 1.5 millions from the top ten that are presently under investigation.

FIFTH; Obama criticized NAFTA for its weaknesses and promised he would make changes to it. He then told Canada it was just all political talk and that he was not and is not going to change anything.

SIXTH; in 2002 Obama made a one sentence statement regarding his position on the Iraq War. He thought it was not a good idea; would be expensive and there would be consequences.

IN 2003, after the brief victory in Iraq, Obama said he was wrong about the War and that he just did not have the information Congress had at the time.

IN 2004, Obama said he supported and stood by Bush's position on the war.

LATER, IN 2004, 2005, 2006, Obama voted for continuing the war.

Now, in his prepared speeches, he lies to the American voters and contends he has always been against the Iraq war; as if he has never supported and/or voted for it. And/or have ever made speeches in its favor.

He has promised many times he will get us out of Iraq within 90 days; but his senior advisor tells BBC it is all just "campaign talk."

Are these lies, misstatements, bonehead moments, or bad bad bad judgments?? He as amnesia on a regular basis. Barack Hussein Obama has told too many lies!

In November---When it comes time to pull the lever or check the box for President, if Obama is on the ticket, the pundits and that completely worthless Democratic Party duo of Pelosi/Dean ARE GOING TO GET A BIG SURPRISE!

RURAL-SMALL-TOWN6:42PMApr 23rd 2008

Stop babysitting OBAMA --- count Florida and Michigan --- All Americans should count!

WHO IS CLINGY AND BITTER?

Obama “CLINGS” to anti-American Jeremiah Wright and has done so despite his pastors "DAMNING of AMERICA"! Obama also clings to his terrorist friends.

Obama’s anti-American wife is a “BITTER” woman who was "only proud of America once", she says, "just recently," she says, "in fourty some years! HOW NICE!

Obama wants to be Commander in Chief --- and his anti-American wife wants to be first lady --- You have got to be kidding!

BROWNIE9:36AMApr 24th 2008

If you read Obama’s statement to the wealthy, elite group of San Francisco donors, you will see that he not only attacked Pennsylvanians but also people in small, rural towns “across the Nation”.

Why can’t people recognize that Obama does nothing but pander to the group to which he is speaking. When he talks to the unions, he talks of overhauling NAFTA (while winking to the Canadians that he really does not mean it); when he talks to predominately black audiences, he tries to sound like Martin Luther King; however, Obama has ties to bomber terrorist Ayers and anti-American Farrakhan --- not MLK.

When speaking to predominately white audiences, he wants them to believe he is the second coming of JFK and Robert Kennedy.

When he gives a speech about patriotism (such as his now famous speech on race, when he threw his white grandmother under the bus), he stands in front of a sea of US flags.

You know before that speech, Obama was rarely photographed or taped standing in front of the US flag. Now, you will see flags behind Obama at every one of his speeches.

Flip-Flop! WILL THE REAL BARACK OBAMA, PLEASE STAND UP?

BROWNIE9:42AMApr 24th 2008

04/02/08 - OBAMA ANNOYED WITH RUDE FAN DURING A STOP IN PHILADELPHIA.

Barack Hussein Obama refused to have his picture taken with a potential voter-fan in Philadelphia!

Too bad the guy was a "typical white person"---had he been black or half black---I'm sure the picture would have been taken.

Obama was “rude”! He did not handle this properly. He is such a chick. If he is bothered by this, then how would he deal with a real threat? In fact, how would he handle anything that would test his temperance, or lack thereof.

If he can't be nice to potential voters, obviously, he doesn't need our vote! That's what 'campaigning' is about!

WHAT WILL OBAMA SAY WHEN THE PHONE RINGS AT 3:00 A.M.?

“Yo wearin me out brother”!

NO OBAMA-MAMA! We need a real candidate --- not a wimp!
