McCain
1. McCain's campaign and advisers are allied with and/or supporting militants who have committed acts that any reasonable observer would define as terrorism. On July 20, while campaigning for McCain in Miami and just prior to speaking at a McCain event, Sen. Joe Lieberman met with the wife of convicted serial bomber Eduardo Arocena and promised to pursue a presidential pardon on his behalf. Arocena is the founder of the notorious Cuban exile militant group Omega 7, renowned for a string of BOMBINGS from 1975 to 1983. These men are not afraid to KILL AMERICAN CIVILIANS on US soil in the furtherance of their cause. John McCain is not afraid to associate with them, even going so far as to have cut Spanish-language radio ads for release in South Florida. John McCain has promised that, if elected, he will release Eduardo Arocena. In 1983, Arocena was arrested and charged with 42 counts pertaining to conspiracy, explosives, firearms, and destruction of foreign government property within the United States. Arocena was convicted of the 1980 MURDER of a Cuban diplomat in Manhattan. He is currently serving a life sentence in federal prison in Indiana.
His targets included:
*
Madison Square Garden (he blew up an adjacent store);
JFK airport (Arocena's group planted a suitcase bomb intended for a TWA flight to Los Angeles—in protest of the airline's flights to Cuba. The plane would have exploded if not for the fact that the bomb went off on the tarmac prior to being loaded);
*
Avery Fisher Hall at Lincoln Center (causing damage to three levels of the theater and halting the performance of a music group from Cuba);
*
the ticket office of the Soviet airline Aeroflot;
*
and a church.
2. In 1998 G. Gordon Liddy hosted a campaign fundraiser for McCain and McCain has accepted campaign donations from Liddy over the last decade, most recently in February 2008. Liddy has acknowledged preparing to kill someone during the Ellsberg break-in "if necessary"; plotting to murder journalist Jack Anderson; plotting with a "gangland figure" to murder Howard Hunt to stop him from cooperating with investigators; plotting to firebomb the Brookings Institution; and plotting to kidnap "leftist guerillas" at the 1972 Republican National Convention -- a plan he outlined to the Nixon administration using terminology borrowed from the Nazis.
3. John McCain was a close personal friend of Charles Keating, McCain and his family vacationed at Keating's Bahamas mansion, Cindy McCain had investments with Keating. Charles Keating is a convicted felon.
4. McCain announced he was choosing Lincoln Diaz-Balart, a Republican congressman from Miami, as his senior adviser and spokesman on Latin America. Rep. Diaz-Balart is a fierce hard-liner on Cuba, advocating, at various times, a blockade of the island, even military action if needed, to unseat Fidel Castro (his former uncle, once married to Diaz-Balart's aunt). He, too, has been a supporter of certain kinds of TERRORISTS who have struck on AMERICAN SOIL. Since 2000, Diaz-Balart and his colleague Rep. Ileana Ros-Lehtinen have lobbied for and helped win the release of several convicted exile terrorists from U.S. prisons. Among the most notorious were Omega 7 members Jose Dionisio Suarez Esquivel and Virgilio Paz Romero, both convicted for their roles in the 1976 assassination of Chilean diplomat Orlando Letelier and his American colleague Ronni Moffitt with a car bomb in Washington, D.C.
5. Beginning in 1981, Richard Quinn became the Executive Editor in Chief of the racist Southern Partisan Quarterly Review and as was still listed as the owner of the magazine as recently as 2005. Like McCain did originally, Quinn opposed the Martin Luther King holiday, writing it "should have been rejected because its purpose is vitriolic and profane." In 2000, People For American Way called on McCain to fire Quinn, listing his disparaging of Nelson Mandela as a "terrorist," his promotion of David Duke ("What better way to reject politics as usual than to elect a maverick like David Duke?") and his selling of t-shirts praising Abraham Lincoln's assassination. McCain wouldn't fire him. He rejected the guilt-by-association charge, defending the man and disavowing the publication. The Washington Post described Quinn as the "longtime adviser [who] directed the senator to a crucial victory in the Palmetto State." Politico reported that McCain paid Quinn's firms $184,000. An article that was posted on McCain's website in 2008 — that is no longer available — described Quinn as "a senior political consultant to the McCain campaign."
6. McCain spent his 70th birthday aboard Rafaello Follieri's yacht in August 2006. Follieri, who posed as Vatican chief financial officer in order to win friends and investments, pleaded guilty in a Manhattan district court to conspiracy to commit wire fraud, eight counts of wire fraud and five counts of money laundering. As part of the plea, Follieri admitted to misappropriating at least $2.4 million of investor money and redirecting it to foreign personal bank accounts that were disguised as business accounts.
7. Rick Renzi, Arizona Congressman 2002-2008, is currently under indictment for conspiracy, wire fraud, money laundering, concealment of money laundering, transactions with criminally derived funds, extortion, insurance fraud and criminal forfeiture. Until February 2008, Renzi was co-chair of McCain's Arizona 2008 presidential campaign, member of McCain's 2008 National Leadership Team, and a personal friend. In October 2006, McCain stated, "Rick has represented the first district of Arizona with tenacity, honesty and integrity beyond reproach."
8. McCain's campaign manager served as president of a lobbying association that fought to protect Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae from the sort of regulation that McCain is now proposing.
9. Aquiles Suarez, listed as an economic adviser to the McCain campaign, in a July 2007 McCain press release, was formerly the director of government and industry relations for Fannie Mae. The Senate Lobbying Database says Suarez oversaw the lending giant's $47,510,000 lobbying campaign from 2003 to 2006.
10. McCain's opposition to a 1994 law that made it a federal crime to BOMB or blockade abortion clinics or to ATTACK abortion doctors. McCain's vote against the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances Act put him in league with the Senate's most radical anti-abortion advocates, who split with more than two dozen anti-abortion senators who voted to crack down on clinic BOMBERS as a matter of preserving law & order.
11. McCain's several year membership on the board of the US Council for World Freedom, which The Associated Press describes as "part of an international organization linked to former Nazi collaborators and ultra-right-wing DEATH squads in Central America."
12. McCain spent more than a year actively seeking John Hagee's endorsement. In February 2008, McCain stated, "I'm very honored by Pastor John Hagee's endorsement today." Only after public outcry did McCain repudiate Hagee.
13. McCain actively sought Rod Parsley's support to get evangelical votes. In February 2008, McCain stated, "I'm truly honored today to have one of one of the truly great leaders in America, a moral compass, a spiritual guide — Pastor Rod Parsley." View Video. Again, after public outrage over Parsley, McCain was forced to repudiate him.
14. John McCain tried to circumvent campaign-finance rules that he helped create. Last year, when Mr McCain's campaign appeared moribund, the senator applied to join the presidential public financing system. Under this programme Mr McCain agreed to certain spending limits and, in turn, received access to federal matching money. (Sidenote: It's a terrible system that is basically designed to keep losers in the race.)"
15. Judicial Watch, the public interest group that investigates and prosecutes government corruption, announced that it filed a formal complaint, dated April 22, 2008, with the Federal Election Commission (FEC) related to a fundraising luncheon held at London's Spencer House to benefit Senator John McCain's presidential campaign. The venue for the event was apparently donated to the campaign by foreign nationals, in violation of federal campaign finance laws.
16. The FEC sent a letter to Sen. John McCain's campaign treasurer Sept. 30 demanding the candidate turn over more information about "contributions that appear to exceed the limits." The letter is accompanied by a nine-page list showing scores of overages from McCain's August campaign finance report, including nearly $13,000 from Texas rancher Ray R. Barrett Jr.; $9,200 from an Iraqi security consultant, H. Carter Andress; and $5,000 from Joseph F. Davolio, an executive at a major national liquor, beer and wine distributor.
17. See factcheck.org for campaign misrepresentations and downright lies (The Whoppers of 20008 is the best).
Palin
1. Her husband is a past member of the Alaska Independence Party, and she has addressed the group on several occasions. The party's goal is Alaska's secession from the United States and its founder has said "the fires of hell are frozen glaciers compared to my hatred for the American government." The group, founded in 1973 by Joe Vogler, Vogler stated, "I'm an Alaskan, not an American. I've got no use for America or her damned institutions." "Keep up the good work," Sarah Palin told members of the Alaskan Independence Party in a videotaped speech to their 2008 convention six months ago in Fairbanks. She wished the party luck on what she called its "inspiring convention."
2. Steve Branchflower’s report on Troopergate contains four findings. The first concludes that Palin violated the state’s executive branch ethics act, which says that “each public officer holds office as a public trust, and any effort to benefit a personal or financial interest through official action is a violation of that trust.”

I'm Voting for Barak Obama!!! How can you vote for McCain with that degenerate on the ticket with him. Palin is very attractive but that alone won't get the job done. Her life is a fiasco and she doesn't represent conservative, intelligent, classy, well- bred, white republican women. I'm ashamed to be a white woman because of her.

I am re-posting! This is an article by Huntley Brown! *****Why I Can't Vote For Obama
By Huntley Brown

Dear Friends, A few months ago I was asked for my perspective on Obama, I sent out an email with a few points. With the election just around the corner I decided to complete my perspective. Those of you on my e-list have seen some of this before but it's worth repeating...

First I must say whoever wins the election will have my prayer support. Obama needs to be commended for his accomplishments but I need to explain why I will not be voting for him.

Many of my friends process their identity through their blackness. I process my identity through Chr ist. Being a Christian (a Christ follower) means He leads I follow. I can't dictate the terms He does because He is the leader.

I can't vote black because I am black; I have to vote Christian because that's who I am. Christian first, black second. Neither should anyone from the other ethnic groups vote because of ethnicity. 200 years from now I won't be asked if I was black or white. I will be asked if I knew Jesus and accepted Him as Lord and Savior.

In an election there are many issues to consider but when a society gets abortion, same-sex marriage, embryonic stem-cell research, human cloning to name a few, wrong economic concerns will soon not matter.

We need to follow Martin Luther King's words, don't judge someone by the color of their skin but by the content of their character. I don't know Obama so all I can go off is his voting record. His voting record earned him the title of the most liberal senator in the US Senate in 2007.

NATIONAL JOURNAL: Obama: Most Liberal Senator in 2007 (01/31/2008)

To beat Ted Kennedy and Hillary Clinton as the most liberal senator, takes some doing. Obama accomplished this feat in 2 short years. I wonder what would happen to America if he had four years to work with.

There is a reason Planned Parenthood gives him a 100 % rating. There is a reason the homosexual community supports him. There is a reason Ahmadinejad, Chavez, Castro, Hamas etc. love him. There is a reason he said he would nominate liberal judges to the Supreme Court. There is a reason he voted against the infanticide bill. There is a reason he voted No on the constitutional ban of same-sex marriage. There is a reason he voted No on banning partial birth abortion. There is a reason he voted No on confirming Justices Roberts and Alito. These two judges are conservatives and they have since overturned partial birth abortion. The same practice Obama wanted to continue.

Let's take a look at the practice he wanted to continue

The 5 Step Partial Birth Abortion procedures:

A. Guided by ultrasound, the abortionist g rabs the baby's leg with forceps. (Remember this is a live baby)
B. The baby's leg is pulled out into the birth canal.
C. The abortionist delivers the baby's entire body, except for the head.
D. The abortionist jams scissors into the baby's skull. The scissors are then opened to enlarge the hole.
E. The scissors are removed and a suction catheter is inserted. The child's brains are sucked out, causing the skull to collapse. The dead baby is then removed.

God help him. There is a reason Obama opposed the parental notification law.

Think about this: You can't give a kid an aspirin without parental notification but that same kid can have an abortion without parental notification. This is insane.

There is a reason he went to Jeremiah Wright's church for 20 years.

Obama tells us he has good judgment but he sat under Jeremiah Wright teaching for 20 years. Now he i s condemning Wright's sermons. I wonder why now?

Obama said Jeremiah Wright led him to the Lord and discipled him. A disciple is one in training. Jesus told us in Matthew 28:19 - 20 'Go and make disciples of all nations.' This means reproduce yourself. Teach people to think like you, walk like you; talk like you believe what you believe etc. The question I have is what did Jeremiah Wright teach him?

Would you support a White President who went to a church which has tenets that said they have a ...

1. Commitment to the White Community
2. Commitment to the White Family
3. Adherence to the White Work Ethic
4. Pledge to make the fruits of all developing and acquired skills available to the White Community.
5. Pledge to Allocate Regularly, a Portion of Personal Resources for Strengthening and Supporting White Institutions
6. Pledge allegiance to all White leadership who espouse and embrace the White Value Syst em
7. Personal commitment to embracement of the White Value System.

Would you support a President who went to a church like that?

Just change the word from white to black and you have the tenets of Obama's former church. If President Bush was a member of a church like this, he would be called a racist. Jessie Jackson and Al Sharpton would have been marching outside.

This kind of church is a racist church. Obama did not wake up after 20 years and just discove red he went to a racist church. The church can't be about race. Jesus did not come for any particular race. He came for the whole world.

A church can't have a value system based on race. The churches value system has to be based on biblical mandate. It does not matter if it?s a white church or a black church it's still wrong. Anyone from either race that attends a church like this would never get my vote.

Obama's former Pastor Jeremiah Wright is a disciple of liberal theologian James Cone, author of the 1970 book A Black Theology of Liberation. Cone once wrote: '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.

Cone is the man Obama's mentor looks up to. Does Obama believe this?

So what does all this mean for the nation?

In the past when the Lord brought someone with the beliefs of Obama to lead a nation it meant one thing - judgment.

Read 1 Samuel 8 when Israel asked for a king. First God says in 1 Samuel 1:9 'Now listen to them; but warn them solemnly and let them know what the king who will reign over them will do.'

Then God says

1 Samuel 1:18 ' When that day comes, you will cry out for relief from the king you have chosen, and the LORD will not answer you in that day.' 19 But the people ref used to listen to Samuel. 'No!' they said. 'We want a king over us. 20 Then we will be like all the other nations, with a king to lead us and to go out before us and fight our battles.' 21 When Samuel heard all that the people said, he repeated it before the LORD. 22 The LORD answered, 'Listen to them and give them a king.'

Here is what we know for sure.

God is not schizophrenic

He would not tell one person to vote for Obama and one to vote for McCain. As the scripture says, a city divided against itself cannot stand, so obviously many people are not hearing from God.

Maybe I am the one not hearing but I know God does not change and Obama contradicts many things I read in scripture so I doubt it.

For all my friends who are voting for Obama can you really look God in the face and say; Father based on your word, I am voting for Obama even though I know he will continue the genocidal practice of partial birth abort ion. He might have to nominate three or four Supreme Court justices, and I am sure he will be nominating liberal judges who will be making laws that are against you. I also know he will continue to push for homosexual rights, even though you destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah for this. I know I can look the other way because of the economy.

I could not see Jesus agreeing with many of Obama's positions. Finally I have two questions for all my liberal friends.

Since we know someone's value system has to be placed on the nation,

1. Whose value system should be placed on the nation.

2. Who should determine that this is the right value system for the nation?

Blessings sings, Huntley Brown

I have a question...Does anybody know if there are any independents running on the ticket or do we just have the choice of 2 candidates or a write in? Personally I believe that we need to get rid of the Democrats and Republicans that are in office and put real people who know what they are doing and LOVE our country in there. Hey we forget, most of the time, we are hiring them, we pay there salary and for us to have a choice of two that really don't have the best interest of our country at heart just there party agenda is pretty sad. And personally I feel that if we were actually running a company and had to make the choice of who would be in control of our "company" that neither of these candidates would be our top picks. I do not understand how we ended up with only these two choices.

I think McCain Should be prez,Sarah Palin has more experience than Obama or Osama which ever way you look at that, she has ran a state, all he has done is skipped out on voting in the senate, oh and maybe got some fake teeth???? Any way if he (Obama) wins, Joe Bidon will be the one winning it for him, at least he has some brains!!

the best would be Obama and Clinton together (one president and the other VP or inverse).

MichaelR(B.B.B.09)mc cain,mc same!hillary"i remember being under sniper fire"an all time low point on the integrity meter!even for a politition.even if obama is only half of what he seems we'll still be much better off than if you say the same for his competition.

Come on people, do you really want 4 more years of Republican control. Look at what Republican control has done to our country. A woman and her unborn child died in Hanging Rock, Ohio when she began to have problems with the pregnancy and because she did not have health insurance, the area hospitals would not treat her unless she paid a $100.00 upfront to cover the cost of treatment. She worked for minimum wage and barely strapped by every pay period. She didn't have a $100.00. She went three times to the emergency room, trying to get help. Unfortnately, the last time, it was too late. Her baby died and she died a few days later. This should not be. It is Bush's and the Republicans' fault. If he would have taken care of our country, our needs, instead of keeping the Iraq situation going to enrich his buddies in the oil business, maybe this would not have happened. Let's not let it happen again. Let's take care of our own for a change. Vote Democrat. Vote Clinton.

John McCain is the only man qualified to run this great country. Obama and Hillary would destroy this wonderful country of ours. They have no qualifications what so ever to be in our beautiful White House. The Clinton's just about destroyed this country before, why would anyone want the same thing again. Obama has been in the Senate hardly long enough to have any knowledge to run our great country. John McCain would know exactly what to do with the greatest threat to us, THE TERRORISTS. We better have nothing else on our minds but what the terrorists are planning right now to do to us.

Barack Obama is a leader, capable of uniting the Democratic Party. Some say "Well - maybe, but he has no experience". My answer would be G.W.Bush had lots of experience and look where that put this country. Plus, I think Barack Obama has a better chance of winning over John McCain who is delusional when it comes to Al-Qaeda. We can expect 100 more years of our military in Iraq if he wins the presidency.

Hillary Clinton is a suitable second choice, but she's too polarizing and the Republicans are deliriously happy when she takes the lead over Obama.Because they feel she won't win against McCain. My thoughts exactly.

JOHN McCain without any question.

She's the only one who can do the job!

it that same guy whose has the other campaign

Obama!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

I WILL VOTE FOR NONE OF THE THREE AMEAGOS THERE ALL FORMER MEXICAN PRESIDENTS. VOTE FORE AMERICANS !!!
!!!!!!!!!!!! VOTE INDEPENDENT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
!!!!!!!!!!!! VOTE FOR AMERICANS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
!!!!!!!!!!!! VOTE FOR JEFF ODOM !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I believe Barack Obama truly offeres new hope. We are in dire need of a change in Washington. The Clintons have had their four years in the White House. It is time for change. He is able to inspire and move people. I truly believe he will be a uniter/ not a divider.

Doesn`t anyone out there know of RON PAUL? Google him, bet you change your minds about who you want in office! Ron Paul has my vote or I will astain.

For one reason I am sick and tired of politics as usual, which includes most of the candidates. I like the fact that the only dirt Hillary can find on Obama is petty, even though she and the press will try to blow it up and waste everyone's time in the process.
I like the fact that he wants to include people in their government again, that hasn't been the case for many, many years and certainly won't be if Clinton gets it. Everytime the Clintons are involved in something it turns into chaos and scandal, everytime, just look at this campaign.
McCain had shocking news break out, what happened? In a few days the news was buried and done with. Clintons are involved in a $17 million dollar lawsuit that no one is talking about, they also know Rezko, there is a picture of her and Bill with this guy, has that been mentioned? It goes on and on.
I'm also tired of hearing people say, " you are only voting for him because he is black, race should not matter." and to most people it doesn't. I know people from every speckdrum of the rainbow who are voting for Obama, however, what I see and hear every day is this, " We have to stand behind Hillary because she is a woman, this is our chance." It's not about politics here it about womens rights.

by the way, i have a say on the polling figures. i believe that usually the older people do not access to PC that often while the younger people surf the net all the time. so, there's no reason to just look at the polling figures and say "Obama is leading over CLINTON". the older people do not go to the net to do the surveys, but they cast their votes in the polling stations.

I'LL GO FOR HILLARY CLINTON.

Hillary would be the best, I think. Obama is a charmer - more words than action, MCcain is in his 70's and will have a stroke at the first major crisis and Rommney has left the race. She knows what needs to be done.

First of all,all politicians are crooked...they are all shady,they all have dirty little deals that have put them in office,so don't live in the delusion that you are going to find an honest person to vote for.Second,Bill Clinton is a master politician,he cheated and got caught,and still came out allright.If you want to help this country to move ahead and "change",then get involved in your community,volunteer your time to help kids learn respect and feel wanted.The presidential campaign at this point is basically a staged American Idol.

we need a women in there.if you want to make a change then Clinton is who we need. when she was in before as the first lady she was the one running things and if you think thats not true then your fooling yourself.the USA never ran so well when the BUSH'S were in jr,or sr. THEY BOTH SUCK.the U S is like a business clinton did a great job,and if the wife becomes pres,then she should pick up were her husband left off.just think how much more damage can she do. the BUSH's already sunk us not 1 time but 2 times. the bush's are bad business people.how many business did bush jr have?(and sink)there is no one else in the group of people that can run the country (that have any sense )clinton by far is the person for the job hands down.who runs your house,your wife,mother,grandmother,sister,aunt do you get my point?

Gigi

Do you really want a woman as the leader of our country? We can't even control our own emotions let alone make decisions on a war on terror. Mitt Romney may have stepped aside but he's still getting my vote. He's the only conservative in the running and he actually cares about what happens to our country. 2012.

We need a change. Our economy is going down the tubes and hopefully the democrats will get us back on track again. A Clinton/Obama ticket seems the way to go. Now, is America ready for that one? I hope so.
