how about an honest man in office this time. How about going back to the constitution. check out Ron Paul, the american patriot choice for president.

Becky1:38PMApr 28th 2008

I think Obama blew it by not agreeing to debate with Hillary....Shows he is afraid of her debating skills...of which he has none....I hear Ted Kennedy and John Kerry are drinking in excess lately......I think they know they screwed up royally endorsing Obama ...and guess who isn't going to be a shoe in to get re-elected to the senate in Massachusetts....... GO HILLARY!!!!

Jan Garza1:39PMApr 28th 2008

LEE....Give it up...you are too radical to beleve. Campaign donations are just that...donations! All get them and take them because that is the only way a person can get elected in this country. Till we force these elections and campaigns to be federally funded with the same across the board...that is how it is...get over you Hillary bashing. Seems to me you have gender issues.

Obama Pal Sprung From Jail By Iraqi Fugitive
It's one of those things the mainstream media won't bother discussing in this presidential campaign, but Sen. Barack Obama has this really sleazy close friend and political fixer who is on trial in Chicago for buying and selling influence in Illinois politics. Tony Rezko has been in jail without bond while he is being tried on federal corrupt influence charges for months now because he failed to disclose a 7-figure wire transfer payment he received from a corrupt former Iraqi businessman, Nadhmi Auchi. Rezko finally made bail last week with a little help from another Iraqi fugitive from justice, Aiham Alsammarae. The Sun-Times is reporting that Alsammarae put up more than one-third of the $8.5 million in cash and property pledged for Rezko's bail.
-----------

Maybe you shouldn't be reporting it either. Ask yourself how does a so called fugitive put up money for a person and not get locked up? Shaking head, I can't wait to see what other lies are told. And what does that have to do with Obama? OH, I know, he knew Rezko. OH, so does that Clintons. In fact he raised money for them too. Guilt by association never work and you may catch someone that you didn't intend to...like the Clintons.

What qualifications do I need to run for the office of President? I'm 69, traveled to Foreign countries, contributed to Medicare for years, have supplimental health insurance policy, follow the law, voted in the primaries, I'm a registered Democrat.
I guess I'm as qualified as Hillary Clinton, and I've had years of in depth experience as she says.
Vote for Sheila!

Like putting pieces of legisation together, writing them, sub them, co-author them and then getting them passed? How many women and children have you helped? How many millions have you donated to charity? How many foreign leaders have you sat down and spoke with? How many skeletons do you have in your closet? Yup! You still got an awful lot to answer for, Hillary has been stripped so many times you can see her veins and arteries. I doubt you could even measure up to the nail on her pinky!

I've rather have Hillary, than an African racist pig who hates the white part of himself. Imagine "white people" your in for it if you vote this racist in. "Uncle "Rev. Wright, Farahkhan, Bill Ayers, and the many racist and terrorists friends will come out of the woodwork when he is voted into the White House. Yes, there is even going to be free money give aways for all Blacks who can prove through ancestry for slavery that happened over 200 years ago. So get ready to fork out money from your paychecks to pay for the free money give aways. With all the lay-offs happening in America, best bet to own a car dealership,(Escalades and Hummers) and jewelery stores with a lot of Bling they will have a big boom in business.

How can Ron Paul be a spoiler? He is on the Republican ballot. He can become the Reppublican candidate for president instead of the war monger, McCain.

Spoiler??12:56PMApr 28th 2008

I see many on this post vigorously suggesting Ron Paul run as an
Independent? Are these **real** Ron Paul supporters or sleazy Dems
that know that unless someone comes into the race to syphon votes
from the Reps neither of their candidates can/will win come
November.... Pretty much as Perot handed the Presidency over to
Clinton. I believe Ron Paul, unlike Perot, *does* have the best
interests of our country in mind... unfortunately he has been too
extreme on his proposals -most of which are well founded and, in time
could/should come to pass- to attract the moderate majority...
which, when it comes right down to it is what most Americans are.
That being said I pray that he puts America first and doesn't end up
being "the Spoiler" come November.

More Reality

Because of where I grew up...I had a lot of black friends. My school was 50% mix black/caucasian.

Want to know what else I saw...this was not a wealthy neighborhood like were Obama lives. I did a search on the zipcode and here is what I found...AS of TODAY:
White population: 363
Black population: 44,765
American Indian population: 55
Asian population: 48
Native Hawaiian and Other Pacific Islander population: 5
Some other race population: 176
Two or more races population: 235

Also...Average Adjusted Gross Income (AGI) in 2004: $21,468 (Individual Income Tax Returns)
Here: $21,468
State: $54,625

I moved from there 30 years ago... I witnessed blacks breaking windows, setting fires, fighting. I've been threatened by blacks because I was white, held up by blacks because I was wwhite and moved from that neighborhood because of the radical blacks in 1969.

Now, when I see a black male at 11 pm in a conveince store, I may decide not to go in. Just like I saw a couple wearing turbins on their heads going into a supermarket about a year ago with a suitcase in their shopping cart, I turned around and lleft the store.

It's people like you who will rush to call me racist..I'll call it paranoia based on my life's expriences. I'll call it self preservation based on my life's expriences. You can call it racist I have lived it, have you.

P.S. When I was a long haired hippy, I frightened people my my looks and the way I dressed. I didn't call them racist. I knew that people have perceptions based on what we see on tv and what we read in the paper.

So, as an Italian, do you think I'm in the mafia??

--I think people think Obama is a Muslim because of his name, of
course: Barack Hussein Obama.

--I think people think he is Muslim because Obama went to an Islamic
school in Jakarta, Indonesia when he was young.

--I think people think he's Muslim because Louis Farrakhan, a
minister from the "Nation of Islam," gave Obama a public endorsement.

--I think people think Obama is Muslim because his Trinity Church
gave Louis Farrakhan the lifetime achievement award, and that
Jeramiah pastor was close friends with Farrakhan and traveled with
him in 1993 to visit with controversial Islamic terrorist leaders.

--I think people think Obama is a Muslim because his dad was Muslim,
his step-dad was Muslim,, and since his mom was athiest, people think
he may have adopted their religions moreso than his grandparent's
because he would want to identify with his father figures.

--I think people think he is Muslim because they feel suspicious of
why he didn't vote for a war supposedly against Islamic terrorists
(at the time).

--I think people think he is Muslim because his Kenyan cousin Odinga
signed a secret deal, a "Memorandum of Understanding" with Kenya's
National Muslim Leadership" who are well-known to be Islamic
jihadists who are behind the violence in Kenya...and Odinga told
African and European press that Obama would call him up to three
times a day to see how his Presidential campaign was going in Kenya.

--I think people think he is Muslim because of the photos of Obama in
Muslim representated clothing.

(I am not saying any of this is right or wrong, but this is my
opinion of why there are people saying that they think he is Muslim.)

The Clintons are counting on all your racists not wanting a black President. Prove them wrong and vote for the real change to happen in our time. Obama has not gotten himself dirty like the Clintons have. I hope he never will. Vote for Obama and we'll be true believers in the American Way. This is not a revolution but a new beginning for our country. Forget your hate campaign and begin to change your thinking.

Ron Paul is a legitimate Republican candidate for president. He is the best of the four candidates left on the primary ballot. Yes, I am a Democrat, but I would rather have Ron Paul as president than either of the two Democrats now battling for the place on the November ballot.

Dreams of my Father...- by Barack Obama

"I CEASED TO ADVERTISE MY MOTHER'S RACE AT THE AGE OF12 OR 13, when I began to suspect that by doing so I was ingratiating myself to whites"

" I FOUND A SOLACE IN NURSING A PERVASIVE SENSE OF GRIEVANCE AND ANIMOSITY AGAINST MY MOTHER'S RACE".

"The emotion between the races could never be pure.....THE OTHER RACE (WHITE) WOULD ALWAYS REMAIN JUST THAT: MENACING, ALIEN AND APART"

"never emulate white men and brown men whose fates didn't speak to my own. IT WAS INTO MY FATHER'S IMAGE , THE BLACK MAN, THE SON OF AFRICA, THAT I'D PACKED ALL THE ATTRIBUTES I SOUGHT IN MYSELF"

"THAT HATE HADN'T GONE AWAY," he wrote, "BLAMING WHITE PEOPLE,- SOME CRUEL, SOME IGNORANT, sometimes a single face, sometimes just a faceless image of a system claiming power over our lives."

Dorothy Nicholson2:09PMApr 28th 2008
