We can't afford Jimmy Carter II. Obama's inexperience and adherence to ultraliberal theology will hurt our economy and foreign policy. Want gas lines at the pump and a more aggressive Iran, vote for Barack Hussein Obama.

Dr James Cone's Description of BLACK LIBERATION THEOLOGY, from his book "BLACK POWER AND BLACK THEOLOGY", used as the basis for the vision statement of Obama's Church, Trinity United:

"Black theology refuses to accept a God who is not identified totally with the goals of the black community. If God is not for us and against white people, then he is a murderer, and we had better kill him. The task of black theology is to kill Gods who do not belong to the black community. . . . Black theology will accept only the love of God which participates in the destruction of the white enemy. What we need is the divine love as expressed in Black Power, which is the power of black people to destroy their oppressors here and now by any means at their disposal. Unless God is participating in this holy activity, we must reject his love."

Among the Obamas' charitable donations in 2007 was $26,270 to Trinity United Church of Christ.

Latest polls out show only 54% of Democrats are voting for Obama.

By November I bet it won't be anywhere near that many.

Obama is a loser.

PUMA voters for McCain.

swamp6:22PMJul 7th 2008

Barack Obama is the most dangerous threat to our liberties, because he would use the power of the presidency to enact theory over policy. He would appoint activist judges to the courts and will nullify the second amendment, enforce the fairness doctrine, silencing REAL dissent. Have you ever heard him mention individual liberty? That idea is antithetical to his agenda and would not see a resurgence under his presidency.

Wake up people, even if you hate Bush, you should realize that a Communist friendly administration would be a disaster for America.

A reading from the Obama Scriptures for July 7, 2008.

From the Book of St. Marx

Chapter 6
Verse 66


In the beginning there was video tape.
and the Tape captured the Word.
and the Word was HATE.
and the Word sprung from the mouth of a Man.
and the Man was Wright.

And try as they might to keep
the Tape from the people
they could not.
After the lands of many caucuses had voted
the Tape was seen.

And the Lord Obama appeared distraught
because the people cried out Why Lord?
Why did you keep this man of hate in your midst?

And the Lord appeared to them and spoke:
This man is not a man of hate.
You do not understand what goes on in his pulpit.
Hate is Love
Mocking is Forgiveness
Insults are Ecstasy
Everything you believe about reality is wrong.
I am the Light and the Way.

Afterward the Olbermann tribe was first to sing out:
YES! YES LORD!
Lies are truth!
Hate is Love!
Division is Unity!

Soon the CNN Tribe, and the Huffington Tribe sang out
in praise of the Lord.

And those who knew
in their American guts
something was still wrong
tried to speak
but they were called racists
and scoundrels
and lepers.

And so the Arugulas worshipped their Lord in the public square
and worshiped St. Marx in secret.

And it came to pass that the Word of Hate was made normal.
And the march of the Lord went on as before.
The people pulled the wool back over their eyes.
And all was well.

SHY ISN'T THERE AN INVESTIGATION TO FIND OUT WHERE THOSE OVERSEAS DONATIONS TO OBAMA'S CAMPAIGN CAME FROM????\\\\\\\\6:25PMJul 7th 2008

OBAMA'S TROUBLING INTERNET FUND RAISING


Certainly the most interesting and potentially devastating phone call I
have received during this election cycle came this week from one of the
Obama's campaign internet geeks. These are the staffers who devised Obama's
internet fund raising campaign which raised in the neighborhood of $200
million so far. That is more then twice the total funds raised by any
candidate in history - and this was all from the internet campaign.
What I learned from this insider was shocking but I guess we shouldn't be
surprised that when it comes to fund raising there simply are no rules that
can't be broken and no ethics that prevail.
Obama's internet campaign started out innocently enough with basic e-mail
networking , lists saved from previous party campaigns and from supporters
who visited any of the Obama campaign web sites.
Small contributions came in from these sources and the internet campaign
staff were more than pleased by the results.
Then, about two months into the campaign the daily contribution intake
multiplied. Where was it coming from? One of the web site security
monitors began to notice the bulk of the contributions were clearly coming
in from overseas internet service providers and at the rate and frequency of
transmission it was clear these donations were "programmed" by a very
sophisticated user.
While the security people were not able to track most of the sources due
to firewalls and other blocking devices put on these contributions they were
able to collate the number of contributions that were coming in seemingly
from individuals but the funds were from only a few credit card accounts and
bank electronic funds transfers. The internet service providers (ISP) they
were able to trace were from Saudi Arabia, Iran, and other Middle Eastern
countries. One of the banks used for fund transfers was also located in
Saudi Arabia.
Another concentrated group of donations was traced to a Chinese ISP with a
similar pattern of limited credit card charges.
It became clear that these donations were very likely coming from sources
other than American voters. This was discussed at length within the
campaign and the decision was made that none of these donations violated
campaign financing laws.
It was also decided that it was not the responsibility of the campaign to
audit these millions of contributions as to the actual source (specific
credit card number or bank transfer account numbers) to insure that none of
these internet contributors exceeded the legal maximum donation on a
cumulative basis of many small donations. They also found the record
keeping was not complete enough to do it anyway.
This is a shocking revelation.
We have been concerned about the legality of "bundling" contributions
after the recent exposure of illegal bundlers but now it appears we may have
an even greater problem.
I guess we should have been somewhat suspicious when the numbers started
to come out. We were told (no proof offered) that the Obama internet
contributions were from $10.00 to $25.00 or so.
If the $200,000,000 is right, and the average contribution was $15.00,
that would mean over 13 million individuals made contributions? That would
also be 13 million contributions would need to be processed. How did all
that happen?
I believe the Obama campaign's internet fund raising needs a serious, in
depth investigation and audit. It also appears the whole question of
internet fund raising needs investigation by the legislature and perhaps new
laws to insure it complies not only with the letter of these laws but the
spirit as well.

Interesting straw poll. There will be a hard frost in hell the day McCain beats Obama in California.

After the spectacular failure of GOP ideology over the last eight years (and check any metric you want - national security, two wars, skyrocketing energy costs, crumbling housing market, failing infrastructure, etc) the only thing the right-wing can come at Obama with are the thinly-veiled racist smears: Wright (mentioned 5 times by 'swamp'), Farrakhan and the like. Truly pathetic.

Your hateful, racist paradigmm is about to be swept away. Enjoy it while you can, because come January we'll swear in the nation's 44th President: Barack Hussein Obama.

I have lots of relatives in California. None are voting for Obama.

None of their friends are voting for Obama either.

You might not want to set your heart on something that is really NOT likely to happen.

As a medium-sized business owner, I shudder when I think of Barack Hussein Yomamma-Obama as President. My company is overtaxed now, and from what I understand re his fiscal policies, I may as well call it quits and close my doors. I'm tired of paying for welfare mothers and other liberal handouts with my tax dollars while I bust my hump working sixty hours a week. It's just not fair. McCain in '08.

STEVIEP6:52PMJul 7th 2008

i thought AOL said a few weeks ago they were going to add others to the election such as independents and other 3rd/ parties HMMM

axel hardenburg6:53PMJul 7th 2008

Oh my land, another poll. As I mentioned earlier, I think everything will hinge on the VP choices. If the democrats select another Tom Eagleton for VP then it is all over for them. Obama must select Clinton to assure his victory.

Thanks to all of you who helped me erase the double vote I made for John McCain on the last survey. I did not realize that if you had more than one computer you could vote twice. What I ended up doing was voting a third time on my next door neighbor's computer for Obama to eliminate the extra McCain vote. Thanks to Arnie for this idea.

As to the prospects of a Democratic victory-they must leave Denver in August as a united forward moving party. If there is a predominance of hard feelings and threats of breaking off, then McCain will win.

Pacific NW Mark6:57PMJul 7th 2008

Susan -

I'm betting your 'lots of relatives' don't or won't associate with people with whom they might disagree.

Outside of that imaginary bubble: California has been a deep blue state for a generation. Look at any respectable poll (hint: an AOL straw poll isn't one) and the trend lines are clear and unmistakeable. The only questions will be whether Obama wins by a large margin or a huge margin.

Best of luck with your continuing self-delusion!

LT6:58PMJul 7th 2008

Obama doesn't have a snowball's chance. Not because of the color of his skin or his heritage, not becasue of his associates past or present, not because of his inexperience, or anything else that Pacific NW Mark wants to throw out there. Obama intends to move the U.S. closer to socialism. And as that becomes increasingly obvious, his chances sink. It always has been and always will be about ideas and philosophies. Racist...please. How else can you explain the number of white republicans who would vote for a Thomas Sowell or Walter Williams over McCain anyday?
