    Very disturbing. You are refusing to post the info on Obama campaigning for RAila Odinga in Kenya. His first cousin who wants to institute sharia law. That is censureship.

    I am suprised about the Odinga connection not coming out. Write the GOP. Now he wants to put people on the Supreme Court who will ban our 2nd Amendment to bear arms. How do we protect ourselves?

    If you want America to be like Kenya and Zimbabwe, then vote for Obama.

    An actual quote from the Dems nominee - 'My friends, we live in the greatest nation in the history of the world. I hope you'll join with me as we try to change it.'- Barack Obama

    Rasmussen now has McCain ahead in Ohio,which has an 11 election streak of picking the winner.Of course,maybe Obama's new map will work after all:Sneaking D.C.'s residents into northern Virginia voting districts to tip Virginia's 13 votes Obama's way.

    Obama has peaked; people will really start to examine his record, or lack there of, and decide he's not really the guy they want in the white house. People will see that Obama really doesn't relate to them and that he's out of touch with mainstream America. People will see that Obama is just not qualified to be president. John McCain is a great candidate. McCain has a proven reliable record and a history of effectively working with the Congress to accomplish results for America. John McCain will be an effective Commander in Chief; Obama will be a disaster in chief.

    According to the McCain Campaign, John McCain does not peak for the Campaign. Which means that the McCain Campaign is telling us not to believe what McCain is telling us.

    Most of you are a bunch of racist, prejudice human beings. The very thing Sen. Obama spoke of, "they say I have a funny name, they say, I'm different, and oh, BTW, he's black, Sen. Obama spoke the truth. He wasn't playing the race card. He was reading your blogs. Many of you wouldn't know an Anti American if he/she slapped you in the face. Put down your hate and racism. I shouldn't have to remind you, but Sen. Obama is like you too. He has caucasian blood running through his veins. That's what seems to motivate you prejudice bunch of, and I say this lightly, human beings. I wish you all would join me in wishing Senator Obama, A Very Happy Birthday!!!!
