Liberal Hogwash

Look like only Democrats on welfare have time to sit around and think up this crap. How do you think the Kennedys got there fortune--legally? ha ha. Do you know about the Watergate scandal. It was only a break in to get the proof that the Democratic National Party was using campaign money to hire prostitutes. And then there is the ultimate moral president who"did not have sex with that woman." And yes aren't you all (including Hillary) jealous that a REAL woman may serve in the White House!!! Looks like the U.S. didn't want a dictator after all!!!

palin

what a brainless poem! That's what I would expect from a Democrat, though. If you know how, look up these people under Wikipedia--all good friends of Barack---working with his campaign. Make note of where they are from. Mohammed Hasan Ghandoo, Wahid Hamid, Tony Rezco, Robert Malley,Valerie Jarret. Also look up the Daily Times story about when Obama visited Pakistan in 1981. Look up the Washington Times September 7, 2008 story. And the Times May 10th 2008.

Obama's friend

First you need to learn how to spell. It's find not fine. Also, what would bother me is if someone where a participant in a particular group than if a person where an associate of someone. The Keating Five is real. I remember it. McCain was directly invovled. It is history repeating itself. Alot of people lost their life savings. Now, this bothers me. Why? Because it is history repeating itself with one of the same players, John McCain.

KEATING FIVE SCANDAL: The U.S. Savings and Loan crisis of the 1980s and early 1990s was the failure of 747 savings and loan associations (S&Ls) in the United States. The ultimate cost of the crisis is estimated to have totaled around $160.1 billion, about $124.6 billion of which was directly paid for by the U.S. taxpayer.[1] The accompanying slowdown in the finance industry and the real estate market may have been a contributing cause of the 1990-1991 economic recession. SOUNDS FAMILAR!

Nice comments everyone

Right. From some apparently liberal, supposedly good hearted people comes comments and ridicule rather that a logical argument or evidence about the story at hand.

And that would convince me to support someone that lies about their associations with terrorists?

More reasons to vote Republican (or 3rd party) again this year.

Please.

Obama vs McCain

fact: obama is hiding details about his college years. Fact: obama is associated with terrorists. Fact: McCain has a life history that he can be proud of. Fact: Obama's father was Muslem and his mother a socialist. fAct: The new is putting a spin on its reporting. If you do not believe it, I have an example for you: Feature on yahoo.com today was an article "who you calling a maverick" originally from a NYTimes Writer. They act like she was trying to say she was unbranded...the fact is that if you look up the definition...you will find it has 3 meanings...and one has to do with politicians...not cowboys. that definition is: a lone dissenter, as an intellectual, an artist, or a politician, who takes an independent stand apart from his or her associates. you can look it up right now on www.dictionary.com Now before you believe everything you read..think for yourself.

hot dog song

and what type are you? i love god and i'm not bi-lingual. i also have guns with a permit to carry. and i shoot things, whitetail to be exact. bambi. a trailer on my property that i hope will give an income by renting it out and i don't consider myself trash. i have two children and five beautiful grand children. i wouldn't have that joy if i would've had an abortion. and you know, i think sarah palin is the best thing to come along to relate to the hard working women of my "low-life status" since gretchen wilson came out with the song "Redneck Woman". "you might think i'm trashy. a little too hard core. but in my neck of the woods, i'm just the girl nextdoor." and proud of it!! go sarah!!!

this is nothing but republicans putting in false lies

Wow...libs up in arms..this is starting to gain traction....

Americans don't like our politicians associating with known terrorists.

Debate will be very interesting.

McCain/Palin down only three in latest Zogby poll. This race isn't over.

Didn't know...

Obama didn't know that Rev. Wright preached hate although sitting in the pew for 20 years?

Obama barely knew Ayers? Ayers hosts an event for Obama, sat on the Annenberg board with him which he recruited Obama for, worked together on the Woods Foundation, received money for his education projects from Obama,etc. Why isn't Obama upfront about their relationship?

Hilary Clinton raised these issues but no one would listen.

Associations mean something.

obama and ayers

How many people have bombed the Pentagon? Bin Laden and Ayers and...anyone else? How does Obama find these people? How does he serve on the board and launch his career with a person like Ayers? Maybe Obama will also catch Bin Laden, by making him "Best Friends Forever" and inviting him to run some foundation with him. Sheesh.
