Add it to the others the “Messiah of Islam” always tells.

America, do you really, really want a President of the United States of America that continually lies to you?

“I didn’t mean it…I didn’t know him that well…that was not the person I knew…lies…lies…lies!

How about when he is in any negotiations with our enemies…are you going to trust him on what he tells you? Can you trust him?

The answer, America, is no, no, no, never!

I voted this week for the only “all American” honest candidate in this race, President Elect McCain.

He will bring honor, integrity and friends to the White House that are loyal to the United States of America…and want to see her continue and flourish…not be destroyed like the friends of the “Messiah of Islam”

Join with me in voting your “honest” vote with the millions and millions of other “silent majority” that will be heard loud and clear on November 4th!

GOD BLESS AMERICA AND IT’S PEOPLE!

VOTER REVOLUTION HERE AND NOW!

How much of that $150 million came from non-Americans overseas? How about all the “so called” celebrities that we support with our $$$$ by going to their movies? How about all the multi millionaires like Kerry, Kennedy, Gore, all of those fat cats?

America, how many mortgages that are now being foreclosed on could this money pay for?

America, how many meals could this buy for children who are going to bed hungry tonight?

America, how many out of job workers could this help in keeping their families afloat?

The “Messiah of Islam” broke his word on campaign funding…he is breaking his word to the American people. He tells them he wants to help in this financial crisis, he wants to help those out of work, he wants to help those less fortunate…garbage in and garbage out!

He is self-serving…cares only about getting himself elected to the highest office in our land.

He has no experience, and he has no honor or integrity. But he does have friends…America…friends who have preached for years that they want to see our american government destroyed and destroyed from within.

Wright, Ayers, Flagler, Farrakhan. But there are others America…others who have stated they would like to see him be our next President…Castro, Putin, Hezbollah, Hamas, Al-Quadia and don’t forget the planner of the 9/11 attack that killed over 3,000 of our citizens in one day…Osama Bin Laden. Now these enemies of the US want him to become President to see their “dreams” of a failed America come true.

Add to those terrorists and anti-Americans now the voice and endorsement of one of our former military leaders…Colin Powell…who cast his lot in today with all those individuals that he used to fight against when in the military to protect our country…now he joins with them to destroy it!

I cast my vote this week for the only “all American” candidate, President Elect McCain. He has served his country in the military, he has served his country as a POW, he has served his country in the legislation and now he is asking to serve his country in the highest office in our land. We should be proud that he cares about America. He cares about continuing our freedoms. He puts country first!

Join with me and the millions and millions of other silent majority voters who are honest, hard-working American citizens who want our country to remain the home of the free and the land of the brave!

GOD BLESS AMERICA!

VOTER REVOLUTION HERE AND NOW!

Well if Obamanation has all this money..why don’t he go ahead and start spreading some of that wealth? If he cares so much..there are people in this country that are gooing to bed hungry tonight…spread the wealth Obama ……….OBAMA, HIMSELF, IS AN OXYMORON !!!!

ECM   October 19th, 2008 - 2:36 pm

Hey O!:

Your bro could use a few of those bucks while you’re “spreading the wealth” to the MSM.

Just Sayin’…

All the best,

Phil Lee   October 19th, 2008 - 2:48 pm

How would the media react if John McCain was collecting and spending this kind of money? Somebody is making a lot of cash here.

Phil   October 19th, 2008 - 2:55 pm

O Hussien B is stealing most of this money from Joe the Plumber. We need Joe the Plumber and Todd the Snowmobiler to go get that money back right now. And Joe SixPack, drunk or sober, we need him, too.

Wouldn’t that make a great movie. Joe SixP stagers into Obama Headquarters and says, “I am here to give Money to the Messiah.” He reaches in hi pocket to pull out a wad of bills but it is actually a Glock 44. “Okay, you guys, Freeze,” He says.

Meanwhile Joe the Plumber walks in with his Plumbers took Kit and says, ” I am here to stop the drip,” (It’s like a In-Joke because he is calling BHO a Drip, get it?)

Tod has put wheels on his snowmobile so it can go on streets. He drives all the way into the office and says, “I am Todd, stop making fun of my Buetiful Wife.”

All the Democrats in the office Say, “Okay, we will stop making gun of your Bueatiful Wife.” because they are lily livered scared monekys.

The Three Guys say, “We are here to take back the Money you stoll from all the Joe the SixPak Plumbers in the Great Country of Ours, You Muslim Marxist Pigs!”
The Democrats whimper and whimper and cry but they are so scared they givee back all the money and The Thre Guys jump onto the Snowmobile and speed away over to the Republican Headquarters where they give all the money to the John McCain Campaign.

John McCain is so happy, he makes Sarah the Presidential Nominee instead and Joe thje Plummber Vice Preident. After she is elected, John and Todd will help her out they Truly Love her.

cablegirl   October 19th, 2008 - 2:57 pm

BO told Hillary Clinton in the debate they had that he would sit with John McCain and discuss campaign fund reform. Obviously like just about everything that he says is a lie. Why is he EVER held accountable?

Leslie in Texas   October 19th, 2008 - 3:49 pm

Hello to all the intelligencia who post on this site. Obama raises more money than McCain, he knew he would and that is why he opted out of public financing.
He raises this tremendous amount of money because people, like me, who don’t have a lot of money will gladly donate a little every month because it is that important to get him elected.
Obama has a positive message. Nothing he has ever said or done has embarrassed me. I see him as the most intelligent person to run for president since Abe Lincoln. I am hopeful now, I haven’t felt that was since….well, ever.

Despite the hateful, slimey campaign McCain/Palin is running, people are still donated astronomical amounts to Obama.
This means that more people will chose him to be our next president.

Patriot   October 19th, 2008 - 3:53 pm

bLACKS ARE Straw Men!!!

Listen and understand what I am saying!!!!

When you have a race that has a mean average I.Q. of 85 like the U.S. blacks they are open to exploitation.

To: Patriot

You are anything but patriotic. You are an extreme embarrassment. I am sorry to have to read your garbage. It hurts me to know you are a person living in America.

Patriot   October 19th, 2008 - 4:03 pm

But is what I am saying right? That is the real question. Sorry feelings are hurt by the truth but the truth will set you free!!!

Patriot   October 19th, 2008 - 4:10 pm

This is patriotic according to Lisa McBee’s thinking.

G~D Damn America!!!!

Lisa McBee   October 19th, 2008 - 4:11 pm

Patriot, I am free! I have a richly inquisitive, open mind and I use it in helpful, constructive ways. What you are saying is incorrect. You, unfortunately, were obviously reared in a bigoted, intolerant home. You, also obviously, have not bothered to improve your mind since you left that home. People like you give a terrible name to Americans!!!

Dangerfield Newby   October 19th, 2008 - 4:44 pm

Some reporter should ask Obama..”was Jesus a black man?”Some of you would say that is not important.But it tells you the depth of anti-white feeling that even Jesus most inocuous and obvious characteristics are denied by Black Liberation Philosopher Churches.Like Obama’s.Most blacks will tell you that Africa was the grandest civilization there ever was with massive highways, buildings, temples,etc…there is some real nonsense going on in the black community, because no one can challenge them on it without being called a racist.

Patriot   October 19th, 2008 - 4:56 pm

So blacks in the U.S. DO NOT have a MEAN I.Q. of 85, is that your point??

Please explain how stating a proven fact is bigoted??

Andy   October 19th, 2008 - 5:08 pm

Teacher: Patriot, you are right. Good Job!!! Guess what, it’s nap time. Yes, Patriot, nap. Yes, Patriot, nappy.

Patriot: Nappy, nappy nappy!

Teacher: Look, he’s so happy.

Parent: I wish he didn’t drool so much.

Teacher: Be thankful that he can talk.

Parent: Oh, I am. But should he be saying more than “Nappy, nappy, nappy”? He’s 37 years old.

Brian from Alaska   October 19th, 2008 - 5:12 pm

mr puppet obama is the perfect candidate for the liberal left who would love nothing more than a veto proof america to inject socialism, take away your rights, like the one to vote, freedom of speech, the right to bear arms, more government, and a partridge in a pear tree.

Maggiepoo   October 19th, 2008 - 5:13 pm

Well Patriot, I think I found someone with a lower I.Q. Check out Leslie from Texas’ post

Maggiepoo   October 19th, 2008 - 5:20 pm

Ninety economists have said, on all the news channels, including the biased ones, that Obamanation’s economy plan WON’T WORK. It is along the same lines as Hoover’s, after the 1929 crash…and the country stayed in depression until 1954. They also noted that within three years the entire country would be bankrupt if we follow his plan. THE END !

Barak's friend in Libya   October 19th, 2008 - 5:30 pm

Sen. Barack Obama is a Muslim of Kenyan origins who studied in Islamic schools and whose campaign may have been financed by people in the Islamic and African worlds, Libyan leader Muammar Gadhafi said during a recent televised national rally.

“All the people in the Arab and Islamic world and in Africa applauded this man,” continued Gadhafi. “They welcomed him and prayed for him and for his success, and they may have even been involved in legitimate contribution campaigns to enable him to win the American presidency.

“There are elections in America now. Along came a black citizen of Kenyan African origins, a Muslim, who had studied in an Islamic school in Indonesia. His name is Obama,” said Gadhafi in little-noticed remarks he made at a rally marking the anniversary of the 1986 U.S. air raid on his country.

Everyone has been vetted to the max, except OBAMA. Where is that liars records? What is he hiding? How many more unscrupulous friends does this guy have? We as Americans have the right to know!!!!!

3 attempts to post what Momar Gaddafy of Lybia said about the Democrat candidate being a Muslim failed so here it is again. Google it. Video at YouTube.

NewlyMintedCitizen   October 19th, 2008 - 5:56 pm

Like some others have said.

Will Senator Obama Spread the Wealth, he wouldn’t want an unequal playing field in his favor would he or is this just another case of playing both sides?

Steve F   October 19th, 2008 - 6:05 pm

Mark you are one pathetic AIDS infected fool! You should be thankful the taxpayers pay for your AIDS drugs and SSI welfare check! You think Obama will give you more? Dream on! Besides Mark, Obama already knows L. Sinclair so your not needed!

Clyde   October 19th, 2008 - 6:06 pm

Democrats have been saying that since the War Against the South and poor people have been voting for them that long and are still poor. Same with blacks. Does that answer your question?

Your so rught!!!It’s called the Political Plantation…..been going on since Abe Lincoln’s day. Back then, though they were also called carpet baggers

ya know making people with AIDS angry, when they have little left to lose…might not be your smartest tactic. You won’t know if it’s the Latina serving your lunch, the white girl making you latte, the guy next to you at the gym, your pharmacist, your cable guy, your banker….but we’ll ALL HEAR YOU loud and clear.

Patriot   October 19th, 2008 - 6:51 pm

I guess Lisa McBee was saying that we should all remain ignorant so that we are all equal.

How touching but sorry. I’m White with a MUCH higher median I.Q. and that makes me NOT equally responsive to exploitation of your sort!!

I prefer to use my unequal I.Q. in ways that have allowed the White Race to excel in every endeavor they have ever undertaken!!

Your wishing for equality does not make it so and as such you can’t spread the wealth of I.Q. around!!!

Joe in Baltimore   October 19th, 2008 - 7:21 pm

“I prefer to use my unequal I.Q. in ways that have allowed the White Race to excel in every endeavor they have ever undertaken!!”

You tell ‘em, Patty! Lead by example.

You I.Q. is not only unequal it is un-parallel, asymmetrical and lop-eared.

un·e·qual /ÊŒnˈikwÉ™l/ Pronunciation Key – Show Spelled Pronunciation[uhn-ee-kwuhl] Pronunciation Key – Show IPA Pronunciation

2. not adequate, as in amount, power, ability, etc. (usually fol. by to): strength unequal to the task.

You are embarrassing, but, more than that, you are sad. BTW, why aren’t you man (or woman) enough to post your name??? Are you afraid???

Do it today. Be different, be a Maverick, stand out from your crowd.

We are asking in this group because a Fair and Balanced media outlet has said this group has the right demographics. I hope they are correctt; it sure looks like it.

yo1   October 19th, 2008 - 9:13 pm

How many lies can Barack tell before he gets called out?

Selma got me born. No Barack you were 4

My Church isn’t particularly controversial. Then all the tapes of Racist Wright

I wasn’t in Church to hear those things. yea right

Bill Ayres is just some guy who lives in my neighborhood our kids go to the same school

I never did Rezko any favors….. BS

My wife isn’t racist….

Iran is a tiny country they pose no threat… the next day after his advisors had a stroke… Iran is a great threat and I always said it is a grave threat

And the greatest lie of all….. I love my country… yea Barack you love your country so much you work closely with Bill Ayres whose goal to this day is to take down capitalism…makes sense if you say I am going to punish the hard working and spread the wealth around… and attend a church for 20 years that preaches white hate and anti-American garbage such as the US of KKA and God Damn America.. its in the bible.. just 5 days after September 11- Remember 5 days after Sept. 11 normal American were focused on the ememy not Barack’s church they were telling the white man that this is your fault for being racist. So when you go to vote remember Barack’s church was celebrating Sept. 11 as some sort of white Karma. Any this man who has done nothing should be president-

The only thing I have learned in the campaign is how many black people blame their problems on whites and really don’t like white people.

Bay Bu   October 19th, 2008 - 9:30 pm

“This Powell endorsement is the nail in the coffin,” said one Republican official, speaking anonymously to offer candid thoughts about the party’s nominee. “Not just because of him, but the indictment he laid out of the McCain campaign.”

Mac-101   October 19th, 2008 - 9:37 pm

What’s one more LIE. Their mantra is “The ends justify the means”. After He and Pelosie and a veto proof senate take over, THERE will be CHANGE. Just remeber, most change ain’t for de good!
