I don’t have a “crush” on McCain or think he’s “likeable”, I love him! But seriously, he is amazing. Intelligent, strong, and dead on with his responses on every single issue.

John McCain blew Obama off the charts during the Saddleback Church Forum. Obama might as well pack up and go home, because he can’t even be compared to McCain.

There is no doubt on my mind that Senator John McCain is the right man for the job. He has every quality needed to be a great American President, and if elected, he will be. No doubt.

GO MCCAIN!  John inspires me :-)

Gallup Daily: McCain, Obama Remain Tied Each receives 44% of vote in latest update

Click here for Gallup's special roundup of July's important election polls.

PRINCETON, NJ -- Republican John McCain and Democrat Barack Obama are once again tied in the latest Gallup Poll Daily tracking presidential trial heat.

The results, based on a three-day rolling average of interviews conducted July 30-Aug. 1, show Obama and McCain each receiving 44% of the vote among registered voters. The candidates were also tied in Friday's update. Obama received a brief increase in support near the conclusion of his overseas trip last week, gaining a nine percentage point advantage in July 24-26 polling. But that bounce disappeared almost quickly as it emerged.

More broadly, Obama has enjoyed an average 3-point advantage since clinching the Democratic nomination in early June. McCain has erased that small advantage.

GO MCCAIN!

ACCRA, Ghana (CNN) -- "All I want is for my children to get the best education they can."

That statement, along with so many others, has been a consistent one that I've heard on my radio show and in discussions with parents for years, especially those whose children are stuck in inner-city schools with decrepit buildings and a lack of critical resources.

And for the past 20 years, one of the most talked-about solutions for parents stuck in dead-end, failing schools is to give them the option to use vouchers to send their children someplace where they could get a quality education.

Republicans have made vouchers a linchpin of their education overhaul initiatives. Democrats have steadfastly refused, saying it would take vital dollars out of the public school system.

This year's presidential candidates are lining up right along with their parties. Sen. John McCain, the GOP nominee, says vouchers are the right way to go to give parents an option for a better education, while Sen. Barack Obama says the GOP has talked and talked about vouchers, and it hasn't amounted to much more.

But part of the reason why vouchers have been denounced and dismissed is because Democrats have been far too obstinate on the issue, and have not listened to their constituents, especially African-Americans, who overwhelmingly support vouchers.

There is no doubt that on this issue, McCain has it right and Obama has it wrong.

The fundamental problem with the voucher debate is that it is always seen as an either/or proposition. For Republicans, it is the panacea to all the educational woes, and that is nonsensical. For Democrats, it is something that will destroy public education, and that too is a bunch of BLEEP.

I fundamentally believe that vouchers are simply one part of the entire educational pie. There simply is no one sure-fire way to educate a child. We've seen public schools do a helluva job -- I went to them from K through college -- and so have private schools, home schooling, charter schools and even online initiatives. This is the kind of innovation we need, not more efforts to prevent a worthy idea from moving forward.

Obama's opposition is right along the lines of the National Education Association, and the teachers union is a reliable and powerful Democratic ally. But this is one time where he should have opposed them and made it clear that vouchers can force school districts, administrators and teachers to shape up or see their students ship out.

It is unconscionable to ask a parent to watch as his child is stuck in a failing school or district, and ask him to bank on a politician coming up with more funds to improve the situation. Fine, call vouchers a short-term solution to a long-term problem, but I'd rather have a child getting the best education -- now -- rather than having to hope and pray down the line.

McCain and Obama have presented comprehensive education plans, and those are noble. But leaving out vouchers does a tremendous disservice to the parents who are fed up with deplorable schools, and allows school districts to operate with impunity and without any real competition.

Roland Martin says school vouchers should be an option for families with kids in dead-end schools.

Republican Sen. John McCain is coming to California today with some things to smile about.

Those would be the national polls that confirm that McCain is still - some say stubbornly - in the mix against Obama. And while the Illinois senator has a whopping 24-point lead against McCain in the nation's most populous state, Obama still hasn't made the convincing sale to millions of voters in heartland America.

New national polls last week gave supporters of McCain - preparing to hit Bakersfield and San Francisco today for campaign and fundraising events - a reason to believe that their man has hope, despite a political atmosphere that is admittedly toxic for the GOP, and an all-time-low approval rating for President Bush.

Running head-to-head

Perhaps at the top of the list for the GOP candidate are fresh battleground state polls from Quinnipiac University and the Wall Street Journal that suggest he is now running head-to-head with Obama in Minnesota, Michigan and Colorado.

"Either John McCain is an overachiever or Barack Obama is an underachiever," says Hoover Institution media fellow Bill Whalen. "Either McCain rises above Republican misery - or Obama's not fully caught the wave."

On his campaign plane last Friday, Obama addressed the question of why some voters may still be reluctant to embrace his candidacy.

"The point is, with change comes some risk, and I combine two things," the Washington Post quoted him as saying. Obama said one is his advocacy of new policies; the second is a biography that he said will take people time to accept. "They're going to keep their powder dry and get as much information as they can the next three months."

Whalen said McCain's drive to push hard on energy and oil drilling, standing firm on the Iraq surge success and talking up economic issues at town-hall sessions in recent weeks appear to be paying off: An NBC/Wall Street Journal national poll conducted July 18-21 put Obama just six points ahead of McCain - the same as a similarly timed Gallup Poll.

Drilling down another layer, the NBC poll showed that while Americans overwhelmingly see the Democrat as more likable, "offering hope and optimism," and better able to improve America's standing in the world, McCain leads Obama on having the "strong leadership qualities needed to be president," having more consistency and being stronger on honesty.

By a 2-1 ratio, Americans also see McCain as having the qualities of a commander in chief, and by a nearly 3-1 ratio, they view him as "being knowledgeable and experienced enough to handle the presidency."

And asked who they view as the riskier choice for president, Americans by a 55-35 ratio said Obama.

"I attribute it to the fact that the American people get it - that being president is a tough job and that experience counts when it comes to being commander in chief," said McCain backer and former state Sen. Jim Brulte.

 

A few things I like about McCain:

He supports us drilling here at home for our oil. I’m tired of making the Saudi’s rich.

He protects babies from late term or partial birth abortions.

He doesn’t want to give illegal immigrants drivers licenses or felons the right to vote.

He has experience, he’s prepared to lead.

He has always supported the war on terror, and shown our troops the proper respect they rightfully deserve.

 

I would really like to know what everyone's opinion is on this story:

McCain, Obama spar over canceled troop visit GOP campaign says Democrat shortchanged 'injured American heroes'

By DOUGLASS K. DANIEL

updated 8:21 p.m. ET, Sat., July. 26, 2008

WASHINGTON - Republican John McCain's campaign on Saturday sharply criticized Democratic rival Barack Obama for canceling a visit to wounded troops in Germany, contending Obama chose foreign leaders and cheering Europeans over "injured American heroes."

Obama's campaign called the accusation "wildly inappropriate." His spokesman has claimed that the visit to a military hospital in Germany was scrapped after the Pentagon raised concerns about political activity on a military base. Earlier, though, the campaign had said Obama decided the visit might be seen as inappropriate politicking. However, the Pentagon said the senator was never told not to visit.

A new McCain ad that began airing Saturday in selected markets also chides Obama as disrespectful for making "time to go to the gym" during his European visit while at the same time canceling the visit with wounded troops.

 

Why would Obama care about American troops? He's made it perfectly clear, he is a "citizen of the world." quote.

I suppose globalization is closer than I imagined. And I don’t know about the rest of you, but I’m sad.

The integration of different people who have refused to assimilate, has been the disintegration of the greatest country on earth, The United States of America.

John McCain needs a running mate, who should it be and why?

Rudy?

Condee?

Mitt?

General Powell?

 

 

His posse, aka, the media, couldn't tag along and use injured troops as a photo op, so Obama bails out on them and hits the gym instead. I’m not surprised, it is Obama after all, what did anyone expect?

 

McCain, Obama spar over canceled troop visit GOP campaign says Democrat shortchanged 'injured American heroes'

WASHINGTON - Republican John McCain's campaign on Saturday sharply criticized Democratic rival Barack Obama for canceling a visit to wounded troops in Germany, contending Obama chose foreign leaders and cheering Europeans over "injured American heroes."

Obama's campaign called the accusation "wildly inappropriate." His spokesman has claimed that the visit to a military hospital in Germany was scrapped after the Pentagon raised concerns about political activity on a military base. Earlier, though, the campaign had said Obama decided the visit might be seen as inappropriate politicking. However, the Pentagon said the senator was never told not to visit.

A new McCain ad that began airing Saturday in selected markets also chides Obama as disrespectful for making "time to go to the gym" during his European visit while at the same time canceling the visit with wounded troops.

"Seems the Pentagon wouldn't allow him to bring cameras," according to the ad, which is being televised in Colorado, Pennsylvania and the Washington D.C. area. "John McCain is always there for our troops."

McCain himself joined in the rebuke, saying in an interview to be aired Sunday by ABC's "This Week" that "if I had been told by the Pentagon that I couldn't visit those troops, and I was there and wanted to be there, I guarantee you, there would have been a seismic event."

My husband and I saw Batman The Dark Knight last night and omg, it was amazing! I loved it. It was incredibly deep for being a comic book story, very well written, and everything the critics have been raving about, Heath Ledgers performance, is absolutely true. The best Batman movie ever.

 .......If you're an American.  This is only my opinion, I hope I'm wrong.

I am ashamed that I liked the man at one time and convinced my husband to vote for him. I wish I could take back every single nice and supportive word I ever said about him. He's so wrapped up in OTHER peoples affairs that he doesn't even take the time to worry about Americans.

Remember them Obama? The people whose Nation you're asking to lead? No, why would you. Your own wife wasn't proud to be one, (until you got a little recognition, how convenient) which leads me to think you're not either. Why?

What is it about Americans that bothered and offended Dear Mrs. Obama ,so much, that she wasn't proud to be one? On to Iraq:

"The trip will be Obama's second to Iraq, but conditions are quite different from when he visited in January 2006. Obama's first tour was treated as a footnote, while the country was caught in a growing Sunni insurgency and was moving toward a flood of sectarian violence. But the bloodshed has declined significantly since Bush sent thousands more troops last year to help quell the rising violence."

That's nice, but what the heck is he doing parading around in the Middle East? Campaigning?
What a waste of time and money, doesn't he know all Middle Eastern Muslims and extremists already adore him? Someone send him an fyi.

He should be campaigning in the United States of America, explaining his positions to the American voters, trying to prove to them that he’s got THEIR best interest at heart because he cares about Americans and is proud of them. Oh but wait, that would be flat out lying. So, what’s his next stop, Mexico? Not yet, turns out to be Germany.

"The more basic question is why Obama feels the need to conduct a campaign event among Germans.  Meeting with foreign leaders makes sense for a man with no foreign policy experience whatsoever, but that doesn’t require massive rallies among people who aren’t voting in this election.  In his rush to look impressive for no one’s purposes but his own, Obama has made himself look ignorant and arrogant all over again."

It’s unbelievable. He’s not even the “official” Democratic Nominee, let alone the President. What an arrogant pompous presumptuous moron.

And to make things worse.....

"After receiving a hailstorm of criticism for considering Brandenburg Gate for a public speech, as well as official German dissuasion, Barack Obama moved the venue to the Siegessäule monument.  Obama will speak about “historic” US-German relations, but once again, Obama’s own grasp of history has been proven deficient.  Not only does the site contain a monument to Prussian victories over other American allies in Europe, its placement was decided by Adolf Hitler — in order to impress crowds in his idealized version of Berlin called Germania."

omg. What an idiot.

But at least now he's saying that he'll go after the terrorists.  So that's good. But only in certain countries it seems, not so good:

KABUL, Afghanistan - Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama pledged steadfast aid to Afghanistan in talks Sunday with its Western-backed leader and vowed to pursue the war on terror "with vigor" if elected, an Afghan official said.

So if he's just a Senator, or not elected, then he whines and complains about an "unjust war", BUT......if he's "The President" then his tune changes. HA! I can't stand this buffoon, he is truly pathetic.

Now that Iraq's doing better and it looks like the terrorists, insurgents, al-queda, taliban, whatever, are regrouping in a different country, now this moron says he will fight the war on terror with vigor? So, he'll fight the war on terror in Afghanistan but not in Iraq.

Attention all terrorists: Stay in Iraq if Obamas elected, you will be safe there.

Do all you Obama anti-war peace lovers feel stupid now?  Not only will he continue the war just like Bush or McCain, or any other president would, but we'll be stuck with all his stupid ideas as well.

"Anyone who's tried to paint Obama as a Muslim, anyone who's tried to portray Michelle as angry or a secret revolutionary out to get Whitey, anyone who has questioned their patriotism — well, here's your image."

thanks New Yorker :-)

That's funny. What's so offensive about it? Scary maybe, definitely hilarious, but offensive? Not in the least.

Could Obama be "offended" because there's some truth behind it?

On to a different subject; Obama would send 2 more brigades to Afghanistan.

WASHINGTON - Democrat Barack Obama said Monday that as president he would send at least two more combat brigades to Afghanistan, where U.S. soldiers face rising violence and endured their deadliest attack in three years on Sunday.

The proposed force increase — about 7,000 troops — is part of Obama's plan to pull combat troops out of Iraq and focus on the growing threat from a resurgent al-Qaida in Afghanistan.

"As president, I would pursue a new strategy, and begin by providing at least two additional combat brigades to support our effort in Afghanistan," Obama said in an op-ed published Monday in The New York Times, a day before he plans a speech here on his vision for Iraq and Afghanistan.

"We need more troops, more helicopters, better intelligence-gathering and more nonmilitary assistance to accomplish the mission there," Obama said. "I would not hold our military, our resources and our foreign policy hostage to a misguided desire to maintain permanent bases in Iraq."

Obama's campaign said his speech will focus on how missteps in Iraq have hurt efforts to strengthen U.S. security. He will also discuss his plans for the new brigades in Afghanistan, call for Pakistan to step up efforts dealing with terrorists, discuss the need for diplomacy to address Iran's nuclear program and address other global challenges such as climate change and energy security.

Republican presidential candidate John McCain is planning to speak about his plan for Afghanistan Thursday. He told reporters Monday, "I think we need to do whatever is necessary and that could entail more troops."

U.S. commanders have said they need up to three more brigades in Afghanistan — or as many as 10,000 additional troops — to both train Afghan forces and battle the insurgency. President Bush and Defense Secretary Robert Gates have promised to beef up the U.S. force in Afghanistan next year, but military leaders have made it clear they won't be able to do that until they can reduce forces in Iraq.

Obama says he will do that, redeploying combat brigades out of Iraq by summer 2010. He wrote that he would leave in place a residual force of undetermined size behind to "perform limited missions" like going after remnants of al-Qaida and training Iraqi forces.

"Ending the war is essential to meeting our broader strategic goals, starting in Afghanistan and Pakistan, where the Taliban is resurgent and al-Qaida has a safe haven," Obama wrote. "Iraq is not the central front in the war on terrorism, and it never has been."

McCain took issue with that point. "He was wrong when he said we've lost the war, and he is wrong today when he says that Iraq is not the central battleground," the Arizona senator said. "We are winning there and his proposals would jeopardize the fragility of the success we've achieved. And his refusal to acknowledge that success is remarkable."

There are currently 36,000 U.S. forces in Afghanistan, including 17,500 serving with the NATO-led coalition and another 18,500 conducting training and counterinsurgency. The recent spike in U.S. troops there resulted largely from the overlap of one brigade moving into the country, as another is preparing to leave.

Violence is on the rise in Afghanistan. Monthly death tolls of U.S. and NATO troops in Afghanistan surpassed U.S. military deaths in Iraq in May and June, and a militant attack Sunday on a remote military outpost killed nine American soldiers, the deadliest assault on U.S. forces in Afghanistan in three years.

In his op-ed, Obama defended his opposition to President Bush's increase of troops in Iraq despite its success in helping bring down the violence in that country. He credited the increase for protecting Iraqis and weakening al-Qaida's effectiveness.

"But the same factors that led me to oppose the surge still hold true," Obama said. "The strain on our military has grown, the situation in Afghanistan has deteriorated and we've spent nearly $200 billion more in Iraq than we had budgeted. Iraq's leaders have failed to invest tens of billions of dollars in oil revenues in rebuilding their own country, and they have not reached the political accommodation that was the stated purpose of the surge."

McCain criticized Obama for his stance on the surge. "The major point here is that Senator Obama refuses to acknowledge that he was wrong," McCain said. "He said that the surge couldn't succeed. He said he opposed the increase in troops. The surge has succeeded."

huh? But how can that be? I thought Obama wanted to "negotiate"? Doesn’t he want to “bring our troops home”?  Let me get this straight, he doesn't have a problem sending troops to fight overseas, he's just going to move them from one location to another.

I wonder what Jay and Nicole think of this. tsk tsk Obama, you’re such a warmonger.

Pakistan: U.S. can't hunt bin Laden here Tariq Mahmood / AFP - Getty Images file

Pakistan's top diplomat says no U.S. or other foreign military personnel are hunting Osama bin Laden in his nation, and none will be allowed to do that.

Top diplomat says no military action to catch extremists; tensions grow.

Jason Decrow / AP Pakistan Foreign Minister Shah Mahmood Qureshi in New York on Saturday. Pakistan's top diplomat says there are no U.S. or other foreign military personnel on the hunt for Osama bin Laden in his nation, and none will be allowed in. 

NEW YORK - Pakistan's top diplomat said Saturday there are no U.S. or other foreign military personnel on the hunt for Osama bin Laden in his nation, and none will be allowed in to search for the al-Qaida leader.

In an interview with The Associated Press, Pakistani Foreign Minister Shah Mahmood Qureshi said his nation's new government has ruled out such military operations, covert or otherwise, to catch militants.

"Our government's policy is that our troops, paramilitary forces and our regular forces are deployed in sufficient numbers. They are capable of taking action there. And any foreign intrusion would be counterproductive," he said Saturday. "People will not accept it. Questions of sovereignty come in."

The United States has grown increasingly frustrated as al-Qaida, the Taliban and other militants thrive in Pakistan's remote areas and in neighboring Afghanistan, and has offered U.S. troops to strike at terrorism networks. Critics in Washington also have expressed frustration with the new Pakistani government's pursuit of peace deals with tribes in the region. Bin Laden is believed to be hiding somewhere in the Afghan-Pakistan border region.

Tension between the U.S. and Pakistan have been high after Pakistan said U.S. aircraft killed 11 of its soldiers at a border post in June. U.S. officials have said coalition aircraft dropped bombs during a clash with militants.

Qureshi said he tried to reassure Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice at their meeting Friday that his government was doing everything it can to combat militants in lawless tribal areas bordering Afghanistan.

Fighting militants
Pakistan and Afghanistan regularly exchange criticism about not doing more to fight extremists operating along their long, remote, mountainous border that is seen by the U.S. as crucial to stopping terrorism.

Qureshi also met Thursday with U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon, who agreed to Pakistan's request to establish an independent commission that will investigate Bhutto's killing.

Qureshi acknowledged Saturday that "there are some infiltrations" still occurring, but there are no covert U.S. military operations trying to catch al-Qaida figures and its chief, Taliban members or any other suspected militants.

"There are none," he said. "It will create such an anti-U.S. feeling in Pakistan that I would say would mar the atmosphere of cooperation that exists between us."

Qureshi described Pakistan's counterterrorism as a "grassroots" approach.

"Our strategy is that the military option alone is not enough," he said. "This war has to be fought besides the armies, with the help of the people, by winning hearts and minds."

Does he believe bin Laden is in Pakistan?

"I don't think so. I'm not sure," he said. "Nobody's aware of that. Nobody can speak with certainty. But our policy's very clear. We are allies in this war. And if Pakistan has actionable information vis-a-vis Osama bin laden or any other high value target, Pakistan will immediately take action."

PARIS - France has denied citizenship to a veiled Moroccan woman on the grounds that her "radical" practice of Islam is incompatible with basic French values such as equality of the sexes.

The case will reignite debate about how to reconcile freedom of religion, which is guaranteed by the French constitution, and other fundamental rights, which many in France feel are being challenged by the way of life of some Muslims.

Le Monde newspaper said it was the first time a Muslim applicant had been rejected for reasons to do with personal religious practice.

"She has adopted a radical practice of her religion, incompatible with essential values of the French community, particularly the principle of equality of the sexes," said a ruling by the Council of State handed down last month and sent to Reuters on Friday to confirm a report in Le Monde.

The Council of State is a judicial body which has final say on disputes between individuals and the public administration.

Married to a French national, the woman arrived in France in 2000, speaks good French and has three children born in France.

She wears a black burqa that covers all her body except her eyes, which are visible through a narrow slit, and lives in "total submission" to her husband and male relatives, according to reports by social services. Le Monde said the woman is 32.

The woman's application for French nationality was rejected in 2005 on grounds of "insufficient assimilation". She appealed to the Council of State, which last month approved the rejection.

In the past, nationality was denied to Muslims who were known to have links with extremist circles or who had publicly advocated radicalism, which is not the case here.

The ruling comes weeks after a heated debate over whether traditional Muslim views were creeping into French law, prompted by a court annulment of the marriage of two Muslims because the husband said the wife was not a virgin as she had claimed to be.

Going to an extreme?
In the case of the Moroccan woman, Le Monde suggested the Council of State had gone to the opposite extreme by rejecting the woman's beliefs and way of life rather than accommodating them.

"Is a burqa incompatible with French nationality?" the newspaper asked.

The legal expert who provided a formal report on the case to the Council of State wrote that the woman's interviews with social services revealed that "she lives almost as a recluse, isolated from French society," Le Monde reported.

"She has no idea about the secular state or the right to vote. She lives in total submission to her male relatives. She seems to find this normal and the idea of challenging it has never crossed her mind," Emmanuelle Prada-Bordenave wrote.

Le Monde quoted Daniele Lochak, a law professor not involved in the case, as saying it was bizarre to consider that excessive submission to men was a reason not to grant citizenship.

"If you follow that to its logical conclusion, it means that women whose partners beat them are also not worthy of being French," Lochak said.

 

ahhh...I've always liked the French. Good for them. Maybe we should begin investigating to see who's assimilated sufficiently as well.

I can not believe that Obama advices (or maybe suggests) that we learn Spanish. What on earth for? I already know it and I hardly speak it. I simply don’t want to, I prefer to speak English. And I feel really bad for those of you who don't know it at all. ugh. That must suck.

I could understand if we learned and used different languages for work purposes, or just because we want to, but being forced to in our own country? For no reason?

I don’t get it, are we going to have to speak Spanish in the future? Why? What's wrong with English? I like it, its a nice language.

Well, this is yet another reason why I don’t like Obama. Oh yeah, I don’t think I’ll be watching CNN anymore. Most of the reporters there are making me nauseas with their constant Obama admiration, no glorification, no adoration. Yuck. Give it a rest. At first I thought it was pretty cool, I didn’t know that much about him, all I knew was that he was a nice Black man, good father and husband it seems, so he must be a good politician. HA! I admit it, man was I wrong.

“TEHRAN, Iran - Iran will hit Tel Aviv, U.S. shipping in the Gulf and American interests around the world if it is attacked over its disputed nuclear activities, an aide to Iran's Supreme Leader was quoted as saying on Tuesday.

"The first bullet fired by America at Iran will be followed by Iran burning down its vital interests around the globe," the students news agency ISNA quoted Ali Shirazi as saying in a speech to Revolutionary Guards.

"The Zionist regime is pressuring White House officials to attack Iran. If they commit such a stupidity, Tel Aviv and U.S. shipping in the Persian Gulf will be Iran's first targets and they will be burned," Shirazi was quoted as saying.

Shirazi, a mid-level cleric, is Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei's representative to the Revolutionary Guards.

'Jihad and martyrdom'
"The Iranian nation will never accept bullying. The Iranian nation is a nation of believers which believes in jihad and martyrdom. No army in the world can confront it," he added.”

 

What is that supposed to mean? Screw you. Confront a nuke ya moron. These fools don’t cease to amaze me. But yet some like Obama think they can be reasoned with. ha.

 

“KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia - Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said Tuesday that he sees no possibility of a war between his country and the United States or Israel.

"I assure you that there won't be any war in the future," Ahmadinejad told a news conference during a visit to Malaysia for a summit of developing Muslim nations.

Ahmadinejad's comments came less than 24 hours after Iran's Revolutionary Guards announced that its forces were carrying out a military drill involving "missile squads" and warned that the country would retaliate against any military strike by targeting Tel Aviv and U.S. warships in the Gulf.”

 

Now that’s better. Smart move Ahmadinejad. You get a gold star.

 

“U.S. exports to Iran grew more than tenfold during President Bush’s years in office even as he accused it of nuclear ambitions and sponsoring terrorists. America sent more cigarettes to Iran, at least $158 million worth under Bush, than any other product.”

 

haha…and we thought Bush was stupid. I hope Ahmadinejad and Khomeini smoke every pack. 

Are true Christians voting for Obama?

If so, do they know he supports late term abortion?

I ask because I have several Christian friends who didn't know, they where so focused on other issues, that they didn't even think about abortion. Honestly, neither had I.

Funny thing is, when I told them, they immediately began to change their minds. It is now Saturday, and they're voting McCain. WOW!

They feel it's more important to save an innocent baby, THAN ANY OTHER ISSUE. They told me that their foundation in Christianity is so strong and important, that every decision they make, is based on their Christian beliefs and principals.

Amazing. What a difference an issue can make to those who stand true to their faith.


'I am and always have been pro-life and my record during my tenure in Congress reflects my strong belief that life is sacred. We must stand up for the rights of the unborn and do all that we can to enact this important legislation.'
