Hey each ppls, I was notice the your comment. and talk about Anit-chirstian. Obama is beast ? NO NO. he is not. but I m name of call “Plan for new age and break down” I was remember from my old preacher at baptist. he was told. in Revelation about beast. that you are correct. but he is no person. why why Jesus are how year old. he was 30’s so young. so why beast are same 30 same Jesus’s year old. why copy it. reason Obama is 40 over. I believe it. beast and ram was sit and wait.
It amazes me that in this day and age we still have ignorant racist trying to make a joke of the this process. I guess some of you will never grow up and will always wear your hate on your sleeves. Or will you. Who did you reveal yourselves to other than your own racist friends. Surely not to intelligent people.
May the BEST MAN win. I am so tired of people judging Obama because he is black! He is white too! some people are so predjudice that they forget about that part. Honestly, I want the best man to win. We won’t know until we get one of them. But I do know that if McCain wins; when he gets old and sick… Palin will be in Charge! Another thing I look at is what we are going through now… Who is gonna step up to the plate? and who is gonna follow the current routine? I’m 4 change..not the same
go luke! that’s right justme52. and yeah you sinned bc thats not in the bible. it says nothing about that and God would never call anyone a beast. As long as someone believes in him and does good deeds he can go to heaven. Period. Obama can actually bring change to our country and really just don’t think that McCain can do that. I hope that one day Americans will be accepting of all religions and not just their own b/c if we can’t do that then that’s just sad.
I’m a physician, and I have to say that Obama’s health care plan is FAR, FAR superior to McCain’s. This $5,000 tax credit won’t get you far, not when the average employer-sponsored plan costs $12,000. And good luck getting a plan that cheap on your own. To just call it “socialized medicine” is misleading and false. It is an OPTIONAL plan for people to purchase, and will hold doctors and hospitals to higher standards, by promoting quality initiatives, similar to the NIH’s 100,000 Lives campaign.
“Opening up the health insurance market to more vigorous nationwide competition, as we have done over the last decade in banking, would provide more choices of innovative products less burdened by the worst excesses of state-based regulation.”
Direct quote from John McCain from a 2007 magazine interview. McCain will also tax all of your employee health care benefits given to you by your employer. And McCain says he for the working guy? Really?
John McCain has made a mockery of American politics by selecting Sarah Palin as his running mate. Palins selection, which wouldn’t fly in any field that requires credentials, is a testament to the Republican propaganda machine. The fact that a large segment of the population has bought into the notion that education, knowledge, and intellect doesn’t matter for our second highest elected official is very troubling. We should all be outraged that John McCain has put our country at risk.
justme, you have sinned. That passage is not in the Bible. The religion of Islam was not founded until several hundred years after the Bible was written. The passage you “quoted”, er, cut and pasted from some fake viral email, is bullcrap. And the Book of Revelations says it is a sin to misquote the Bible. Strong work. Go ahead and try to change the subject. Most Americans are smart enough to see through that garbage. If you think McCain will bring real change, then you are fooling yourself.
justme52, I would love to know where in the book of Revelation it says the “beast” will be “a man in his 40’s of Muslim descent?” Does it also tell us he’s a Democrat and African American, as well? OOH, scary!
Everyone is DUMB enough to believe that Obama is going to bring about all this change. MORONS!!!!! If he wanted to bring change, why did he chose someone who has been on congress for 30+ years. BOY THAT’S REALLY CHANGE!!!!! It looks like Ohio will be the embarrasment story of this election. Instead of the phrase “Ohio the Heart of it all” more like “Ohio the joke of it all” I would love to buy everyone that is buying into this crap a white flag to have in their front yards.
Ummmm, this is an election, not a religious war. And thanks but no thanks, you can keep your pseudo, psycho, freaky, and fake Christian beliefs to yourself. For the sake of humanity, for the sake of Ohio, build a raft, float out into the Erie, and stay there.
This is actually listed in Revelation 13:5
Subject: Beast in Revelation
This will make you re-think: A trivia question in Sunday School:
How long is the beast allowed to have authority in Revelation ?
Revelation Chapter 13 tells us it is 42 months, and you know
what that is. Almost a four-year term of a presidency.
All I can say is ’ Lord, have mercy on us ! ‘
According to The Book of Revelation the anti-Christ is: The
anti-Christ will be a man, in his 40’s, of MUSLIM descent, who will
deceive the nations with persuasive language, and have a MASSIVE
Christ-like appeal….the prophecy says that people will flock to him
and he will promise false hope and world peace,
And when he is in power, will destroy everything … .
Do we recognize this description ??
I STRONGLY URGE each one of you to post this as
many times as you can !
Each opportunity that you have to send it to a friend or
media outlet … do it !
I refuse to take a chance on this unknown candidate
who came out of nowhere.
From: Dr. John Tisdale

Dear Friends,
As I was listening to a news program last night, I watched in horror as Barack Obama made the statement with pride. . .'we are no longer a
Christian nation; we are now a nation of Christians, Jews, Muslims,
Buddhists, …’ As with so many other statements I’ve heard him
(and his wife) make, I never thought I’d see the day that I’d hear
something like that from a presidential candidate in this nation. To
think our forefathers fought and died for the right for our nation to be a
Christian nation—and to have this man say with pride that we are no
longer that. How far this nation has come from what our founding
fathers intended it to be.
I hope that each of you will do what I'm doing now--send your
concerns, written simply and sincerely, to the Christians on your
email list. With God’s help, and He is still in control of this nation and all else, we can show this man and the world in November that we are,
indeed, still a Christian nation !
What Palin’s agenda? Her husband was in a group for succesion AK from the US. Has he really left the group? Palin’s is the commander in chief of AK. She want’s more power as a VP. I see a time bomb here!!!
McCain does have more at stake, but this debate doesnt matter.. Nobody is actually voting for McCain in this debtate… they just all go after for Obamna.. sad
She’s also the commander in chief of the Alaska State Defense Force (ASDF), a federally recognized militia incorporated into Homeland Security’s counter terrorism plans. Palin is privy to military and intelligence secrets that are vital to the entire country’s defense. Given Alaska’s proximity to Russia, she may have security clearances we don’t even know about.
The 49th Missile Defense Battalion of the Alaska National Guard is the unit that protects the entire nation from ballistic missile attacks. It’s on permanent active duty, unlike other Guard units. As Governor of Alaska , Palin is briefed on highly classified military issues, homeland security, and counter terrorism. Her exposure to classified material may rival even Biden’s and certainly by far exceeds Obama’s.
Question: What U.S. governor is routinely briefed on highly classified military issues, homeland security, and counter terrorism? Answer: Governor Sarah Palin, Alaska
Question: What U.S.governor has a higher classified security rating than either candidate of the Democrat Party? Answer: Governor Sarah Palin, Alaska. Don’t dismiss the fact that Sarah Palin is Commander of the Alaska National Guard. Alaska is the first line of defense in our missile interceptor defense system.
Question: What is America ‘s first line of missile interceptor defense that protects the entire United States? Answer: 49th Missile Defense Battalion of Alaska National Guard.
Question: What is the ONLY National Guard unit on permanent active duty? Answer: 49th Missile Defense Battalion of Alaska National Guard
Question: Who is the Commander in Chief of the 49th Missile Defense Battalion of Alaska National Guard? Answer: Governor Sarah Palin, Alaska
To Obama: Speaking as a mother whose son is weighing the possibility of military enlistment, I have but one question for you… Given your Marxist and black liberation beliefs, your friendship with a known terrorist, your friendship with a convicted felon, your friendship with racists, your associations to corrupt Kenyan political figures, your own words of our troops air raiding villages and killing civilians in Afghanistan, your voting record, your incapability of admitting a “job well-done”, your consistent negativity towards our troops in the likes of “an empty seat at the table” and your desire to dismantle our military… Senator Obama, could you explain to me why any American who deeply loves this country would ultimately force, by voting for you, our service men and women to a salute a Commander-in-Chief who walks and talks like a traitor to our Republic and who disrespects our military?
It amazes me that democrat or not-you can be OK with someone running for Pres that has only been in Senate actually working for 143 days-not to mention all of the horrendous ties with anti-white, anti-american, anti-christian radicals/terrorists, i.e. Rev God D*n Wright,Pfleger, Rezko, Odinga, Percy Sutton, Malcolm X,Farrahkan, Khalib,Monsoor, Malley,etc.the list is exhaustive & downright scary! He is THE #1 liberal in Senate,2nd highest in monies from Wall Street,and one of biggest spenders!

It’s time to kill the tv and radio until election day is over. Nothing “revealed” now about any candidate matters. The only thing to learn is how dirty each side can get. Good job McCain on making a mockery of yourself and the political process. Now that Palin has thrown her career down the crapper slinging for the GOP, maybe AK can accept whatevers left of her corrupted soul. Great modern day prodigal daughter story.
Wow links to the scandals of Obama…websites made from the Republicans. I’ve learned that you can’t believe everything you read from the internet. I feel sad for you Republicans that your leader will use the smear card, because you have nothing else in your deck. Palin was the wild card and turned out she was a bad gamble. She wants’ more power as a VP. It sounds like she can’t wait for McCain to croak. McCain/Palin has more skeletons in their closet too!!!
And I laughed when Obama first said his community organizing has made him qualified. I now know that what it qualified him to do is that he acquired the skills to get the masses behind him, trust him and follow him blindly in his rise to power. Should he be elected president he will use those people of power and money he has formed relationships with and has dangled the golden carrot to. These are the people that will be directing what he does in a leadership role. His role was to agitate the masses and pull them into the web. In so doing he has achieved the power he wanted and met his own self interest need. What it boils down to is duping the public promising to meet their needs in order to meet his needs while at the same time promises to meet the self interest needs of those powerful money people (radical Islamic, terrorist, socialist, black liberation, etc. groups) who have promised to support and are supporting him. He is a skillful manipulator. Social justice: everyone has power. To him, this is a win-win.
OHforAmerica if everything you say is true then WHY does the Maverick keep his mouth shut about it. BECAUSE he has so much c* in his closet he cannot. And Palin lacks totally credibility who would believe her. I am disappointed in both candidates. Americans deserve better AND until we get our head out of the sand and challenge the parties we are affiliated with politicians will just keep leading us like sheep. McCain did this Country a diservice picking Palin if he cared about Country first.
We have Obama running for President? What?
Valerie Jarrett, was Michele Obama’s boss. She is now Obama’s chief advisor and he does not make any major decisions without talking to her first. Where was Jarrett born? Ready for this? Shiraz, Iran! Do we see a pattern here?
Oh, by the way, remember the college roommates that where born in Pakistan? They are in charge of all those ‘small’ Internet campaign contributions for Obama. Could it be the middleast? Scary!!!! Their being investigated!
On May 10, 2008 The Times reported, Robert Malley, advisor to Obama, was ‘sacked’ after the press found out he was having regular contacts with ‘Hamas’, which controls Gaza and is connected with Iran. This past week, buried in the back part of the papers, Iraqi newspapers reported that during Obama’s visit to Iraq, he asked their leaders to do nothing about the war until after he is elected, and he will ‘Take care of things’.
McCain is 72 years old and is not up to snuff. I bet they inject him with steroids just to get through the next debate. I bet that is why he was so alert at the last debate and why his demeanor and body language reflect anger. McCain is just an old puppet that will have Palin pulling his strings. She already views herself as the next Mrs Chaney indicating that the VP should have more power not less. Let me give a SHOUT OUT! NO! Mr & Mrs Maverick this Country cannot afford that huge risk.
Repub4life: It’s not like you have to take part in his health care plan, if you already have a health care plan, then you have nothing to even worry about. Those of us who have private insurance can go right on using whatever Dr. we are currently using for whatever reason. So this nonsense about not being able to pick your Dr. is just that, nonsense. Plus, would you rather have NO health care? I just don’t see what the big deal is about having national health care, or why people are against it.
WAKE UP AMERICA…Are there that many stupid people out there who are so blinded to the fact that Obama is filling your heads with crap. You’re all looking for CHANGE…LOL CHANGE OF WHAT…You vote Obama, you vote for the wrecking of this country and you’ll only have yourselfs to blame. Universal Healthcare…Good luck finding a doctor to care for you. There won’t be anyone to do that. People need to wake up and really see what they are going to do with this country. Vote McCain !!!
Freedomlover. You are a paid Republican to put these blog on. Using the Hussein in his name is one of the strategies to try to link Obama as Muslim/terrorist. Todd Palin the Governor’s husband has been known to belong to a group to try to have Alaska secession from the US. That to me is a domestic terrorist. Remember the Civil War
For a Republican to complain about voting fraud is laughable. Recall 2004 when people were called and told that election day had changed, or that they would be arrested for child support unpayment if they showed up to vote. Or, the Warren County Board of Elections locking the votes in a room with Ken Blackwell and his henchmen, pretending the FBI had called in some sort of terrorist threat, when no such threat was called in.
Give me a break. McCain is done, because he has nothing to offer.
McCain/Palin has more at stake. Why else are they using the negative campaign that attacks Obama? He is desperate. McCain lost my support when he brought on Palin that could not handle the media and used a stupid phase as gotcha interview. Please spare me and the rest of the country with a nitwit like her. Todd Palin was in an organization that believed Alaska to secession from the US. That ideology is what started the American Civil War. Obama/Biden 2008!!!
Apparently, McCain has the greatest challenge. There has been massive voter fraud in the state of Ohio this past week. Large numbers of non-voters ( homeless, street people etc) turned Barak Hussein Obama supporters, were bused into voting precincts around the state. It’s amazing, going from non-registered status to registered and voting in the same day. As of this writing, ACORN offices in Las Vegas have been raided by the police for massive voting fraud. Mc Cain certainly has the disadvantage
“Opening up the health insurance market to more vigorous nationwide competition, as we have done over the last decade in banking, would provide more choices of innovative products less burdened by the worst excesses of state-based regulation.”
Direct quote from John McCain from a 2007 magazine interview. McCain will also tax all of your employee health care benefits given to you by your employer. And McCain says he for the working guy? Really?
MY FAVORITE QUOTE FROM OBAMA IS WHEN HE SAID HIS GRANDMOTHER WAS A “TYPICAL WHITE PERSON”. I WILL NEVER FORGET IT, IF A WHITE CANDIDATE WOULD HAVE SAID “AVERAGE BLACK PERSON” WE WOULD STILL BE TALKING ABOUT IT. I READ WHERE 98% OF BLACKS ARE VOTING FOR OBAMA… HMMM CHOOSING BY COLOR INSTEAD OF SUBSTANCE, THAT SHOULD REALLY FIX AMERICA.
Tonight Obama will expose the McCain health care plan, where employee provided health benefits will now be considered taxable income. Here’s a direct McCain Quote from a magazine interview he did in 2007.
“Opening up the health insurance market to more vigorous nationwide competition, as we have done over the last decade in banking, would provide more choices of innovative products less burdened by the worst excesses of state-based regulation.”
Happy Non-Ohioan is correct in saying that Republicans are paying people to shower newspapers in battleground states with a relentless rain of drivel and hateful nonsense.
I should know- I was doing this very task for the RNC until 3 days ago. The final straw for me was John McCain’s betrayal of his vow not to engage in the type of attacks begun over the weekend and continuing into today. McCain lied and handed his campaign over to Karl Rove, so I quit.
Thank god people are thinking with their pocket books this year. Democrats have proven time and again that they are ready and better to handle the economy. NO matter how desperate John McCain gets he keeps falling further and further behind in the poles. I am working on my MBA I HAVE MORE EDUCATION THAT PALIN!!! WOW, does that not scare some people, she has no concept or understanding of the American Political System. She could not even get out alive from Katie Courics’ softball questions!
Happy Non-Ohioan, I’m a paid McCain supporter? That is the funniest thing I’ve read all day! No I’m a former Democrat who cannot vote for Obama because he will lead this country to the worst economic downfall the nation has ever seen! Obama’s healthcare plan will cost $65 mil and coupled with the bailout plan, will criple our economy more. I don’t trust him, and don’t believe he has what it takes to lead this country. Period.
McCain for President….I saw this coming over three years ago, before the Democrats were voted in. That’s why I got rid of the credit cards, kept my 2000 Cavalier instead of buying a gas-guzzling SUV, and avoided ARM loans when I bought a house that I could afford. I also stopped contributing to my IRA a year ago because I would have lost money that I was putting into it. We were also told years ago to become more educated, as the manufacturing jobs would be gone before long too.
McCain for Pres, you’re just as out of touch as McCain. Our economy has been in trouble for a long while now, perhaps you finally ‘woke up’ when it started to affect you. We have an American city, New Orleans, that has barely received a federal dime until recently, BTW, Katrina was 2005. The dollar has been in the tank for about 4-5 years when compared to European currency. Housing has been collapsing for about 3 years (friends lost jobs in construction in Columbus in 2005). Do some research!!
In the PAST YEAR:
1) Consumer confidence has plummeted.
2) Gasoline is now over $4 a gallon & climbing!
3) Unemployment is up to 5.5% (a 10% increase).
4) Americans have seen their home equity drop by $12 TRILLION DOLLARS and prices are still dropping.
5) 1% of American homes are in foreclosure.
6) as I write, THE DOW is probing another low~~
$2.5 TRILLION DOLLARS HAS EVAPORATED FROM THEIR STOCKS, BONDS & MUTUAL FUNDS INVESTMENT PORTFOLIOS!
YES, IN 2006 AMERICA VOTED FOR CHANGE…. AND WE SURE GOT IT!….
John McCain clearly has more at stake in this debate, as he has been slipping in the polls, abandoning so-called “battleground” states, and leaving Embarracuda on a long leash to show how far out she really is with smear jobs like Obama’s “palling around with terrorists.” Something like that is a despicable statement, as idiotic as if Obama were to bring up Palin’s old association with a group that wants to secede from the Union (which he has not). “Country First” my a**e.
Think back to the days immediately following 9/11 and how you interacted with complete strangers…at the grocery store, at the gas station, at the park. For just a few days, empathy and unity replaced racial and religious prejudices, and people put aside differences in political opinion to try to move the country forward again. What has happened since? Somehow we’ve fallen back into the same old traps of bitter divisiveness and incivility in the way we deal with one another. With home foreclosures, joblessness and a seemingly endless war going on, I’m ready to throw
something at the TV set whenever I hear any candidate smearing another while ignoring the urgent issues of our times. Voters should not only reject that type of behavior, but should also set a
better example for those clowns on these message boards.
At Nobama08, The original bill was sponsored and brought to the house floor by Representative Adam Smith of Washington’s 9th district, not Obama. Obama sponsored the Senate version along with 30 other Senators. Making a total of 84 sponsors in both houses. It is simply designed to help (along with the other countries) to eliminate poverty in the world by 2015. Grand visions to be sure, but it is definitely not a bill designed to make us slaves to the UN.
I think Americans can use some Socialism right now considering as we get back up on our feet as individuals and a Country we will need some help thanks to Bush, McCain voting 90% with Bush on this war we are in based on LIES! We cannot afford another 4 years of the same folks. Is Ohio better? I think not. Repubs fear based campaigning to get the Ohio vote- and then Thanks Ohio see you in 4. I will take my chance on Obama and Biden for the next 4.
Have Any of you people heard of a nice-sounding bill called the “Global Poverty Act,” sponsored by Democratic presidential candidate and Senator Barack Obama? The bill will result in the imposition of a global tax on the United States. The bill, which has the support of many liberal religious groups, makes levels of U.S. foreign aid spending subservient to the dictates of the United Nations.
By You, I am well aware of this as I am one of those children born to an American serviceman in a foreign country. And that would not be my reason for voting for Obama. As an undecided voter, I watched both conventions and have been following the campaign very closely. I am voting for Obama because his views of what is good for America are similar to my views. McCain and Palin have no answers. That became apparent to me during both the Presidential and Vice Presidential debates.
julie you wrote “Ummm…McCain for President? Obama was born in Hawaii, which is the 50th state of the United States. McCain was born in Panama, which is a foreign country.” There are a lot of American children born in other countries while the parents they have are surving our country. So if that is one of your reasons for voting for Obama over Mccain that is just sad.
The question is “Who has more at stake?” As he is behind in all the polls that I know of, clearly, the answer is McCain. But frankly, I agree with the first poster that it won’t make a lot of difference. Contrary to what most of these bloggers think, people are more worried about their jobs and their financial future than about McCain being born in Panama and Obama being born in Hawaii.
Ummm…McCain for President? Obama was born in Hawaii, which is the 50th state of the United States. McCain was born in Panama, which is a foreign country.
Obama wants universal healthcare and that sounds good right? He wants to make it so there is no preexisting condition in healthcare. Sounds good right? Problem is if you have universal healthcare with no preexisting conditions, you will have a horrible time finding any insurance company that will be willing to take the risk and innsure anyone. Doctors already pay out the butt for insurance, and pass that on to us. Just think how much our medical cost will go up if Obama gets in.
It amazes me as to how many people dont seem to realize that the democratic controlled congress isnt to blame in this. Oh, its the dem house and senate, blah blah blah. Wake up and take notice that the dem congress took control 2 years ago from the repubs. The current dem congress INHERITED this mess from the repubs and it cant be fixed over night!!
John Doe,
You’re showing your own stupidity when you call Obama dumb. You may not agree with his policies and that’s fine. But, one thing he isn’t, is dumb.
People are the same in all 50 states. You don’t live in Utopia. There are racists in all 50 states. I am not one, but I still think that Obama is BAD FOR AMERICA.
I think that the correct phrase in sports lingo is…. SCOREBOARD. Who cares what you few racists haters think, because Obama is in the lead in Ohio and in the nation. Time to pack your bags and move to KY or WV, so that way you can have some of your own kind of people to cry on.
MyOpinion, I agree. I was NEVER trying to make this into a black-white issue. I love ALL peope, no matter what color they are…heck, I have white in my family. “PEACE”MOM is the one who made this into the black-white thing…See, that’s the problem these days.
“In regards to stupid and arrogant look at where democratic leadership has brought all of the big cities in this country, including Dayton. All the big cities in this country have been ruled by democrats for over eight years some for as long as a hundred years and all you have is poverty and crime, with higher taxes.” Actually, Chicago is doing great. Daley Sr. and Daley Jr. have been the Democrats running the town for over 40 years, and they don’t call it the City That Works for nothing.
I was born and raised in Ohio, and received my BS and MS from OSU. I moved away recently and I am so glad after reading these messages. I wonder how many of the people on here are paid McCain supporters? In addition, to asking supporters to leave comments, he also has his staff do this to in order to drive conversation on message boards. I hope that the majority of people on here are in that category, because I just can’t believe that there are that many ignorant, racists people in Ohio.
I cannot remember a dumber candidate for President in my 50 years of voting. IF Osama Obama gets in , Lord help us. Obama is only going to help Obama. His cronies will get Cabinet positions. This nation will fall like Rome. He cannot do all of the things he has promised. Congress will go back to the Republicans because America is tired of high everything and the Democratic Congress is out of touch with their constituants. Lord help us all!!!
This election should not be a black and white issue.. it should be a red, white and blue issue(s). I thought we’ve come away from that America. Don’t you remember 9/11 when it didn’t matter what color, creede people were in that pile?
I long for our country to pull together for what is right for the “most”… and without the USA being attacked to feel act that way.
Anyone agree with me? Hope so! Look at best plan? The same ol’ hasn’t worked in 8 yrs. Need new ideas and people!!!
If Wooten is such a bad guy, why won’t Palin’s husband, a former member of the AIP, testify? What are they trying to hide? The problem here isn’t Wooten. We all agree he’s probably a bad guy. The problem is that Palin stepped over the line and abused her power in firing her public safety director. See, in America we have this thing called DUE PROCESS. Palin, because she has no law background, doesn’t seem to understand this aspect of government.
Single Mom: here are some facts for you:
Wooten used a Taser on his stepson, illegally shot a moose, drank beer in his patrol car on one occasion, reprimanded in January 2004 for negligent damage to a state vehicle, and trooper commanders saw cause to discipline or give written instructions to correct Wooten SEVEN times since he joined the force. Sounds like definate grounds for dismissal for me.
I “love” how Obama keeps throwing the economy issue up as a McCain/Bush issue. Fact is, the Democrat run house and senate have been the main causes of all of the financial issues we are in now. He’s a true socialist and he appeals only to the greed in people to get something from “the rich”. People need to wise up - we will be in a world of hurt if he is voted in. Disgusting.
SingleMOM… you do realize you are pushing for a man(small child) who said that he would kill his own grandchildren to keep his two “precious” girls from being punished. He seems like a genius! I especially like the idea of Obama approving legislation which will allow for a 12 year old girl to have an abortion without notifying her parents. Pro-Life… how do you think we all got here?
HMMM you are exactly correct. I love to hear Obama fans cheer about how he wont raise taxes. Nothing can be done without raising taxes on someone. Obama will attempt to tax big businesses and they will pass the taxes onto the middle class like they always have. And I can guarantee if Obama removes the troops from Iraq without fixing the situation the United States will be attacked…
ATTN: SingleMOM- I’m a single MOM as well, and I fear for my kids safety if a naive, Muslim takes the White House… McCain will be TOUGH on TERRORISTS! Obama wants’ to wrap his arms around them and give them a BIG hug ! “IF” we don’t have HOMELAND SECURITY, the economy, health insurance and all the other stuff simply DOESN’T MATTER!!! now does it?? Exactly “WHAT” has NoBama “ever” done for YOU? he’s NEVER even run a business!! McCain put his life on the line FOR YOU !!McCAIN for REAL change!
Actually the past two years our government has been controlled by the Democrats and look where that has gotten us. No one even knows if Obama was born in America. He has no experience and IF he becomes president will let his liberal, democrat cronies run our country. The same people who have been for two years. You people need to open your eyes and see that Obama is a socialist and come 2009 the United States of America will be a socialist country if John McCain is not elected president.
PEACEMOM— Who gives a damn! He is not the only person that served in the military. And NO he won’t paint the white house black, because we look good in WHITE!!! My kids have nothing to do with this comment board…watch yourself. They will have a much better future with OBAMA, instead of MCCAIN putting taxes on health insurance. Now who cares more about my kids? Me or MCCAIN?? I am not making fun, I’m listing the FACTS!
ATTN: “Single MOM” McCain can’t lift his arms NOR type on a PC BECAUSE of his injuries while a POW in Hanoi ! Making fun of someone does NOT make you a GOOD person !
Hopefully you won’t spread your hate on your kids ! We’re doomed if your Barak Hussein Obama paints the WHITE HOUSE BLACK !!
Obama proposes 800 billion in new spending, yet says 95% of Americans (won’t have their taxes raised…)HMMM
Democracts want change, but are you willing to pay THROUGH THE NOSE for it? I’m Not!
McCain needs to differentiate himself from “The Bush Administration” because most democrats out there equate him to “another Bush”. More of the same is what Obama’s camp is labeling his adgenda with. If he fails to point out the differences between his policies and Bush’s, he may lose this election.
McCain’s nasty negative campaign is the final nail in his coffin — Palin was such a bad choice - how can anyone, even a die-hard Republican vote for them knowing she could become president? She can’t name one newspaper she reads, but she can quote Ronald Reagan?? Pulease!! Send her back to Alaska, her 15 minutes are up!
Until the American people take back politics and start getting involved and demanding clear, common sense results from their politicians despite either party repubs, or dems the finger pointing will just continue. Personally, both parties are at fault for the mess we are in. McCain picking Palin did not put Country first. This is not Amercian Idol. I think Obama will at least listen to the American people if we get involved. Take back politics Amercians/Ohioians.
John McCain cannot use a PC. I cannot get a job, (which I do have one) if I were unable to use a PC. How in the HELL can a President not be able to use a PC. He can’t even lift his arms, has health issues…And Palin would have to take his place if need be? C’mon people can you inagine HER being our President? When someone pisses her or someone in her family off, she’ll fire them. She’s cute, but NO THANKS!
John McCain has made a mockery of American politics by selecting Sarah Palin as his running mate. Palins selection, which wouldn’t fly in any field that requires credentials, is a testament to the Republican propaganda machine. The fact that a large segment of the population has bought into the notion that education, knowledge, and intellect doesn’t matter for our second highest elected official is very troubling. We should all be outraged that John McCain has put our country at risk.
In regards to stupid and arrogant look at where democratic leadership has brought all of the big cities in this country, including Dayton. All the big cities in this country have been ruled by democrats for over eight years some for as long as a hundred years and all you have is poverty and crime, with higher taxes. So if you want more of the same for our nation vote for Obama, the man with zero experience and a bunch of “plans” of “change”. I would rather have inexperience at VP not as pres.
McCain has more at stake…….definitely. Although, I really don’t think tonight will make any difference. I think he sealed his fate when he chose Palin as a running mate. Inexperience is one thing, but stupid and arrogant is a whole different ball game. We’ve already had 8 years of stupid and arrogant…….Look where it’s gotten us.

May the BEST MAN win. I am so tired of people judging Obama because he is black! He is white too! some people are so predjudice that they forget about that part. Honestly, I want the best man to win. We won’t know until we get one of them. But I do know that if McCain wins; when he gets old and sick… Palin will be in Charge! Another thing I look at is what we are going through now… Who is gonna step up to the plate? and who is gonna follow the current routine? I’m 4 change..not the same

go luke! that’s right justme52. and yeah you sinned bc thats not in the bible. it says nothing about that and God would never call anyone a beast. As long as someone believes in him and does good deeds he can go to heaven. Period. Obama can actually bring change to our country and really just don’t think that McCain can do that. I hope that one day Americans will be accepting of all religions and not just their own b/c if we can’t do that then that’s just sad.

I’m a physician, and I have to say that Obama’s health care plan is FAR, FAR superior to McCain’s. This $5,000 tax credit won’t get you far, not when the average employer-sponsored plan costs $12,000. And good luck getting a plan that cheap on your own. To just call it “socialized medicine” is misleading and false. It is an OPTIONAL plan for people to purchase, and will hold doctors and hospitals to higher standards, by promoting quality initiatives, similar to the NIH’s 100,000 Lives campaign.

“Opening up the health insurance market to more vigorous nationwide competition, as we have done over the last decade in banking, would provide more choices of innovative products less burdened by the worst excesses of state-based regulation.”

justme, you have sinned. That passage is not in the Bible. The religion of Islam was not founded until several hundred years after the Bible was written. The passage you “quoted”, er, cut and pasted from some fake viral email, is bullcrap. And the Book of Revelations says it is a sin to misquote the Bible. Strong work. Go ahead and try to change the subject. Most Americans are smart enough to see through that garbage. If you think McCain will bring real change, then you are fooling yourself.

This is actually listed in Revelation 13:5 Subject: Beast in Revelation
This will make you re-think: A trivia question in Sunday School:
How long is the beast allowed to have authority in Revelation ?
Revelation Chapter 13 tells us it is 42 months, and you know what that is. Almost a four-year term of a presidency.
All I can say is ’ Lord, have mercy on us ! ‘
According to The Book of Revelation the anti-Christ is: The anti-Christ will be a man, in his 40’s, of MUSLIM descent, who will deceive the nations with persuasive language, and have a MASSIVE Christ-like appeal….the prophecy says that people will flock to him and he will promise false hope and world peace,
And when he is in power, will destroy everything … .
Do we recognize this description ??
I STRONGLY URGE each one of you to post this as many times as you can !
Each opportunity that you have to send it to a friend or media outlet … do it ! I refuse to take a chance on this unknown candidate who came out of nowhere.
From: Dr. John Tisdale 0D ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Dear Friends,
Christian nation; we are now a nation of Christians, Jews, Muslims, Buddhists, …’ As with so many other statements I’ve heard him (and his wife) make, I never thought I’d see the day that I’d hear something like that from a presidential candidate in this nation. To think our forefathers fought and died for the right for our nation to be a Christian nation—and to have this man say with pride that we are no longer that. How far this nation has come from what our founding fathers intended it to be.
concerns, written simply and sincerely, to the Christians on your email list. With God’s help, and He is still in control of this nation and all else, we can show this man and the world in November that we are, indeed, still a Christian nation !

She’s also the commander in chief of the Alaska State Defense Force (ASDF), a federally recognized militia incorporated into Homeland Security’s counter terrorism plans. Palin is privy to military and intelligence secrets that are vital to the entire country’s defense. Given Alaska’s proximity to Russia, she may have security clearances we don’t even know about.

The 49th Missile Defense Battalion of the Alaska National Guard is the unit that protects the entire nation from ballistic missile attacks. It’s on permanent active duty, unlike other Guard units. As Governor of Alaska , Palin is briefed on highly classified military issues, homeland security, and counter terrorism. Her exposure to classified material may rival even Biden’s and certainly by far exceeds Obama’s.

And I laughed when Obama first said his community organizing has made him qualified. I now know that what it qualified him to do is that he acquired the skills to get the masses behind him, trust him and follow him blindly in his rise to power. Should he be elected president he will use those people of power and money he has formed relationships with and has dangled the golden carrot to. These are the people that will be directing what he does in a leadership role. His role was to agitate the masses and pull them into the web. In so doing he has achieved the power he wanted and met his own self interest need. What it boils down to is duping the public promising to meet their needs in order to meet his needs while at the same time promises to meet the self interest needs of those powerful money people (radical Islamic, terrorist, socialist, black liberation, etc. groups) who have promised to support and are supporting him. He is a skillful manipulator. Social justice: everyone has power. To him, this is a win-win.

Think back to the days immediately following 9/11 and how you interacted with complete strangers…at the grocery store, at the gas station, at the park. For just a few days, empathy and unity replaced racial and religious prejudices, and people put aside differences in political opinion to try to move the country forward again. What has happened since? Somehow we’ve fallen back into the same old traps of bitter divisiveness and incivility in the way we deal with one another. With home foreclosures, joblessness and a seemingly endless war going on, I’m ready to throw
something at the TV set whenever I hear any candidate smearing another while ignoring the urgent issues of our times. Voters should not only reject that type of behavior, but should also set a

At Nobama08, The original bill was sponsored and brought to the house floor by Representative Adam Smith of Washington’s 9th district, not Obama. Obama sponsored the Senate version along with 30 other Senators. Making a total of 84 sponsors in both houses. It is simply designed to help (along with the other countries) to eliminate poverty in the world by 2015. Grand visions to be sure, but it is definitely not a bill designed to make us slaves to the UN.

By You, I am well aware of this as I am one of those children born to an American serviceman in a foreign country. And that would not be my reason for voting for Obama. As an undecided voter, I watched both conventions and have been following the campaign very closely. I am voting for Obama because his views of what is good for America are similar to my views. McCain and Palin have no answers. That became apparent to me during both the Presidential and Vice Presidential debates.

Obama is a socialist.
Socialism sounds wonderful, but it is a parasite that kills its host. Cuba is a great example.
Don’t take my word for it… look at Obama’s platform. It is socialistic.

julie you wrote “Ummm…McCain for President? Obama was born in Hawaii, which is the 50th state of the United States. McCain was born in Panama, which is a foreign country.” There are a lot of American children born in other countries while the parents they have are surving our country. So if that is one of your reasons for voting for Obama over Mccain that is just sad.

The question is “Who has more at stake?” As he is behind in all the polls that I know of, clearly, the answer is McCain. But frankly, I agree with the first poster that it won’t make a lot of difference. Contrary to what most of these bloggers think, people are more worried about their jobs and their financial future than about McCain being born in Panama and Obama being born in Hawaii.

Obama wants universal healthcare and that sounds good right? He wants to make it so there is no preexisting condition in healthcare. Sounds good right? Problem is if you have universal healthcare with no preexisting conditions, you will have a horrible time finding any insurance company that will be willing to take the risk and innsure anyone. Doctors already pay out the butt for insurance, and pass that on to us. Just think how much our medical cost will go up if Obama gets in.

It amazes me as to how many people dont seem to realize that the democratic controlled congress isnt to blame in this. Oh, its the dem house and senate, blah blah blah. Wake up and take notice that the dem congress took control 2 years ago from the repubs. The current dem congress INHERITED this mess from the repubs and it cant be fixed over night!!

“In regards to stupid and arrogant look at where democratic leadership has brought all of the big cities in this country, including Dayton. All the big cities in this country have been ruled by democrats for over eight years some for as long as a hundred years and all you have is poverty and crime, with higher taxes.” Actually, Chicago is doing great. Daley Sr. and Daley Jr. have been the Democrats running the town for over 40 years, and they don’t call it the City That Works for nothing.

I was born and raised in Ohio, and received my BS and MS from OSU. I moved away recently and I am so glad after reading these messages. I wonder how many of the people on here are paid McCain supporters? In addition, to asking supporters to leave comments, he also has his staff do this to in order to drive conversation on message boards. I hope that the majority of people on here are in that category, because I just can’t believe that there are that many ignorant, racists people in Ohio.

I cannot remember a dumber candidate for President in my 50 years of voting. IF Osama Obama gets in , Lord help us. Obama is only going to help Obama. His cronies will get Cabinet positions. This nation will fall like Rome. He cannot do all of the things he has promised. Congress will go back to the Republicans because America is tired of high everything and the Democratic Congress is out of touch with their constituants. Lord help us all!!!

I long for our country to pull together for what is right for the “most”… and without the USA being attacked to feel act that way. Anyone agree with me? Hope so! Look at best plan? The same ol’ hasn’t worked in 8 yrs. Need new ideas and people!!!

If Wooten is such a bad guy, why won’t Palin’s husband, a former member of the AIP, testify? What are they trying to hide? The problem here isn’t Wooten. We all agree he’s probably a bad guy. The problem is that Palin stepped over the line and abused her power in firing her public safety director. See, in America we have this thing called DUE PROCESS. Palin, because she has no law background, doesn’t seem to understand this aspect of government.

Single Mom: here are some facts for you: Wooten used a Taser on his stepson, illegally shot a moose, drank beer in his patrol car on one occasion, reprimanded in January 2004 for negligent damage to a state vehicle, and trooper commanders saw cause to discipline or give written instructions to correct Wooten SEVEN times since he joined the force. Sounds like definate grounds for dismissal for me.

I “love” how Obama keeps throwing the economy issue up as a McCain/Bush issue. Fact is, the Democrat run house and senate have been the main causes of all of the financial issues we are in now. He’s a true socialist and he appeals only to the greed in people to get something from “the rich”. People need to wise up - we will be in a world of hurt if he is voted in. Disgusting.

I especially like the idea of Obama approving legislation which will allow for a 12 year old girl to have an abortion without notifying her parents. Pro-Life… how do you think we all got here?

HMMM you are exactly correct. I love to hear Obama fans cheer about how he wont raise taxes. Nothing can be done without raising taxes on someone. Obama will attempt to tax big businesses and they will pass the taxes onto the middle class like they always have. And I can guarantee if Obama removes the troops from Iraq without fixing the situation the United States will be attacked…

Actually the past two years our government has been controlled by the Democrats and look where that has gotten us. No one even knows if Obama was born in America. He has no experience and IF he becomes president will let his liberal, democrat cronies run our country. The same people who have been for two years. You people need to open your eyes and see that Obama is a socialist and come 2009 the United States of America will be a socialist country if John McCain is not elected president.

McCain needs to differentiate himself from “The Bush Administration” because most democrats out there equate him to “another Bush”. More of the same is what Obama’s camp is labeling his adgenda with. If he fails to point out the differences between his policies and Bush’s, he may lose this election.

McCain’s nasty negative campaign is the final nail in his coffin — Palin was such a bad choice - how can anyone, even a die-hard Republican vote for them knowing she could become president? She can’t name one newspaper she reads, but she can quote Ronald Reagan?? Pulease!! Send her back to Alaska, her 15 minutes are up!

Until the American people take back politics and start getting involved and demanding clear, common sense results from their politicians despite either party repubs, or dems the finger pointing will just continue. Personally, both parties are at fault for the mess we are in. McCain picking Palin did not put Country first. This is not Amercian Idol. I think Obama will at least listen to the American people if we get involved. Take back politics Amercians/Ohioians.

John McCain has made a mockery of American politics by selecting Sarah Palin as his running mate. Palins selection, which wouldn’t fly in any field that requires credentials, is a testament to the Republican propaganda machine. The fact that a large segment of the population has bought into the notion that education, knowledge, and intellect doesn’t matter for our second highest elected official is very troubling. We should all be outraged that John McCain has put our country at risk.

McCain has more at stake…….definitely. Although, I really don’t think tonight will make any difference. I think he sealed his fate when he chose Palin as a running mate. Inexperience is one thing, but stupid and arrogant is a whole different ball game. We’ve already had 8 years of stupid and arrogant…….Look where it’s gotten us.
