she needs to pay attention to her infant that needs tender care of a mother and constant love.
her teenage daughter now pregnant shows that this woman doesn't take care of her responsibilities at home let alone the world!

we are a unique nation in the history of nations.no other country has ever empowered it's people to self determination as we have been!barak husain obama will take that power of self determination and place it in the hands of government.i have always understood that to be(and in fact is)socialism at best and marxism worst!with the dems holding all the cards i fear we are approaching the latter.

The odds look pretty good for Barack supporters,although miracles do occasionally happen. These supporters will probably get their $500 checks in the mail to squander on beer, tobacco, and chinese made goods. A small price to pay to get the votes needed to be head honcho,particularly when its not your money. Ask your average Barack supporter "why?" and he'll tell you,"He speaks so well, and promises change!" Ask them what kind of change, and they're at a loss for words. You clearly don't have to be intelligent or at the very least informed to vote. Like in the past, two years from now Republicans will take back the legislature after a sizable number of Barack supporters come to their senses and are horrified at just what Obama had planned for America.These may very well be difficult times, but they are not a result of conservatism. Going far to the left is only a disaster in the making. Oh well, gotta learn the hard way.

It is indeed sad to read that so many people have still yet to evolve. It isn't sad as an American. It is sad as a HUMAN BEING.
So, you want us to vote for someone who still has the same basic opinions that slave owners had? Being that McCain is against gay marriage and gay adoption - basically stating that they are less capable, and essentially, not worthy of having the same rights as heterosexuals?
You want us to vote for a woman who is AGAINST women's rights?
You want us to vote for candidates that want to FORCE religion on us? This coming from a country that was founded on the premise that church and state should be separate.
Are you all saying that if others believe that abortion should be legal then they are automatically 'immoral'?
Are we really ignorant enough to believe in "guilt-by-association"? So what if Obama had a friend that was anti-white?! How does that make OBAMA a bad person? So, if you have a child that is doing drugs and shoplifting bubblegum ... then I guess that automatically makes you a horrible parent and a horrible person ... you love your child, don't you? So, again, I ask ... are we really ignorant enough to believe that Obama is incapable of making good decisions just because he happens to know someone who thinks differently?
I guess we should all grab our bibles and guns, run out and shoot some middle-eastern people just because they look suspicious, lock all homosexual people back in their closets, and let crack-babies suck up as much welfare as possible while we vote for McCain and Palin.
Evolve people, please! Obama isn't perfect, but since when is any politician perfect? Vote for the lesser of two evils ... vote for Obama!

Sometimes it's not easy to "do the right thing" like stand up for unborn children, work hard to take care of yourself - not counting on handouts, have strong morals and values. Barack attended a church for 20 years then suddenly tries to distance himself from that church -- saying he doesn't "agree" with the pastor , his longtime mentor's repeated perverse comments about our great country? John McCain is a patriot who loves his country. And Michelle Obama - she sickened me with her comment of "I am proud of my country for the first time in my adult life" - are you kidding me?? Clearly she hasn't traveled much or studied lives of those living in other countries to make that statement. I cannot believe that everyone is so "snowed" by Barack's eloquent speaking. What has he really accomplished??? ever???? No experience. We all have good ideas but you have to have some solid experience for this job. And yes, it is inviting a terriost attack as they know he's a lover, not a fighter. Just remember that old saying, "If it seems too good to be true, it probably is". Get real people...vote McCain/Palin.

You all sound like fat freaks. The only fat people allowed are politicians. They have stollen your right to be fat. Sheeze, with all that money they have to decide who gets it. Your not the one. You will not even know who got it in the first place.
They don't even have to tell you. Here is your substance.

If you truly want "substance" there is only one ticket --the Obama/Biden ticket"
Bullshit has substance also.

Why, In the End, I Cannot Vote for Obama…
Dear Senator Obama,
Today is a sad day. I’m an activist white woman who loves America and, since my college years in the early 70’s, I have waited for this country to be ready to elect a Black president. I thought we had found it in you – so smart, charismatic, energetic and eloquent. But I know now that, even though America is ready, you are not – and may never be.
It was not your obvious lack of experience – I rationalized that you would be wise enough to choose those with much greater experience to be your advisors and that you would listen.
It was not your liberal record – I rationalized that, once elected, you would become more moderate, recognizing that America is centrist and that, if you were otherwise, you would surely serve only one term.
No, it was not these concerns I could not overcome. It was, in the end, Reverend Jeremiah Wright. Try as I might, I could not rationalize what your 20-year exposure and close association with this man meant – not to what he is but to what you are. The African-American who will become the leader of this great country, indeed, the free world, will be an individual who is not only beyond David Duke but just as passionately beyond Reverend Wright. He or she would not countenance for one day, much less twenty years, the repulsive rhetoric of either. This African-American will truly be American first and we will all know, regardless of our ethnicity, that he or she is the leader of us all.
You should have known this, Senator, and the fact that you did not reveals a deep flaw in judgment. You did not even realize that this relationship would endanger your anticipated bid for President or you would have left much sooner. You did not understand why Reverend Wright’s anti-American, anti-white, anti-Jewish words would be so repugnant to the majority of us you would be serving as President. You say the right words now but I cannot erase the image of you sitting in that church. My President would not do that.
And so, I cannot cast this historical vote for you, Senator Obama, and it is a sad day for me, and for my children and grandchildren. You may well win, but you will never truly understand what it means to be the President of America and all its people. Those twenty years in the pews of Reverend Wright’s church robbed you of that priceless gift.

The race is going to be decided by 10:00PM. Obama is going to win by a landslide. I see Obama winning North Carolina 15-20%. Democrats led the erarly vote 2-1 past two weeks.
