NARAL’s endorsement, timed at a critical point in the campaign for no reason other than to give Obama’s candidacy a boost and Clinton’s a kick in the pants—that is, for no reason germane to its own mission—has apparently cost it a significant exodus in membership. In response to my own e-mail of resignation, I received a disingenuous and carefully crafted letter from NARAL’s president. Surely I’d not have warranted all that effort had my resignation been the only one. I’m volunteering time with the local but will never give NARAL a penny more: collateral damage, I’m afraid, of Obamist manipulation.

Respectful?? How is it respectful that you’re out golfing when your DEM rival is trying to get her supporters to vote for you?
See here’s what he and the DNC thinks, everyone is going to fall inline and vote for him. But I’m banking a lot of people are just going to stay home that day.
Don’t bother calling us.. everyone’s out “sick”.

Sounds more like a critique on the Bush administration.

RADDATZ: Two-third of Americans say it’s [the Iraq war’s] not worth fighting.

CHENEY: So?

RADDATZ So? You don’t care what the American people think?

CHENEY: No.

McCain needs to work harder and be more aggressive in getting voters. Barak O. is a professed “change agent” with no meaty changes.

The DNC is trying and hopefully will not succeed in handing Obama the presidency on an “Affirmative Action Silver Platter”. Voters need to research Obama and be more discriminating in their thinking.

B. Obama is such a flaming liberal, radical, racist, divisivie politician that it is disgusting.

You’re wrong. There is another way- and that’s to vote for Bob Barr. It’s still early enough to get a grass roots movement going. Barr can definitely get the Conservative votes (McCain is NOT a true conservative). Barr will easily win over all those Evangelical voters that McCain has insulted. Barr’s policies and values can/will appeal to those hard-working under-educated white voters that are so attracted to Hillary. Why would anyone want to vote for McCain. He changes positions every other week (a sign of senility?). Like most of you, I don’t want Obama either. But I also don’t want some old geezer that smells like Ben-gay, wears Depends, and makes smacking noises with his gums as my president.

People who think as Obama does, the narcissistic mess, don’t really SEE people, they see themselves, the screwed up projection of their own identity, all around. They only see their own mind, period, almost as if they’re physically unable to see another, no sensory organs, at all, an anencephalic monster.

It’s quantum, as if they cloak everyone around them with themselves, never seeing through to the truth, and never able to until they’re stripped of their delusions. Others can see them, they can’t see others. It never occurs to them this is the root cause of their problems.

A house built on rock sugar, a little warm water and BOOM!

…..and if McCain wins this fall he will be the the first Panamian drug lord to be president of the USA. McCain WAS born in Panama. If you have any doubts about his drug connections, do a little checking into Cindy’s past.

Please everyone, check out this website: http://www.dontvoteobama.net this guy has consolidated all of the information on Obama on one website in a very entertaining way. He was a Hillary supporter who is now supporting McCain. The site is only a few months old but worth checking out.

My thoughts exactly. He did not say that there was no tape, he said she never said “whitey” on tape. I am hearing that the rant was about Bill Clinton. There is also a picture of Michelle with Farrakhan’s wife. Go to this site: http://www.dontvoteobama.net to see the newspaper photo. Also, that smear site doesn’t address a tenth of the rumors on Obama.

I voted for Bush, then I had buyer’s remorse when we had an unneccessary war with Iraq. I liked that Bush was pro-business though. We are living in a global economy. Corporations can re-locate. So putting a windfall tax on oil companies won’t work. I am old enough to remember Carter doing that and the long gas lines. I am too old to get pregnant(I think!). I doubt that McCain will be able to overturn Roe. There would be a huge outcry from women. Also, the states can do what they want regarding abortion. I live in NJ, we will always have abortion in this state. I am voting for John McCain because I cannot pull the lever for Obama. I feel that Obama is evil. Also, re: Iraq, we will be leaving that country, but we are going to have to leave some troops there (at least 20,000 no matter if McCain or Obama is elected, we are not leaving that country to de-stabilize the Middle East). We are there, we cannot in good conscience leave till their military can do the job themselves). Hopefully, that will happen soon. We have troops around the globe, that is the nature of the U.S. Obama is not going to bring all the troops home. However, if we elect this man who has Muslim blood, who knows what will happen in regards to Israel’s situation? I am not Jewish, but do want to have a war where Israel would be destroyed by Iran? Would Obama allow Iran to develop a nuclear weapon to be used on Israel? Or a suitcase nuke which could be used against us? Also, he was being advised by Zbigniew Brzezinski and his son, the man was Carter’s advisor, Brzezinski has some very controversial views regarding Israel and Russia from what I have read of him. He also was the one who got Russia involved in the Afghanistan war in the 1980’s and called it Russia’s Vietnam. He has some kind of hang up about Russia since he is Polish and Poland was controlled by the U.S.S.R. soviet bloc. Also, McCain is old, he is only going to have one term. Hillary can run again in 4 years. I don’t like the way that Obama has disrespected Bill & Hillary. Bill Clinton was a good President when all was said and done.

My husband is in a Union, Carpenters Union in NYC and I am voting for McCain. I don’t think McCain is anti-union. McCain needs to allow drilling though, off our coasts. Would that not create many more Union jobs for Americans?? I don’t understand this country’s environmental policies that are so restrictive. Also, what are these “green jobs” that Hillary was talking about? Do Democrats think that everyone is going to want to put solar panels on their homes? If so, we need a tax credit to put them on our homes, they cost over $20,000 to install. Also, how long does it take to re-coup the costs of these solar panels? Do any of you Hillary supporters have a problem with drilling off our coasts? If you do, why? We need to become more energy independant as Brazil is doing. Also, China is drilling off of FL. We cannot control China and Cuba drilling 60 miles off of FL. We should be going after that oil. Also, I live in a blue state, NJ, there is no chance that McCain is going to win NJ I fear. We have the highest tax rates in the country, as a result people are moving out of NJ. Consider that, if you live in a Democrat controlled state, you are going to be hit doubly hard by Obama’s tax & spend policies. I am now paying over $8,000 a year property tax on a 1900 sq. ft. house and Corzine will be raising that soon. We also have a 10% tax rate on our earnings. He raised the rate on non food purchases from 6% to 7%. He is raising taxes on everything to fund the pensions of all the gov’t jobs in NJ. We are a state of mostly gov’t jobs. Also, we have NYC close by, so we benefit from that relationship, but Mayor Bloomberg wanted to charge people $8 to drive into Manhattan. That on top of paying $8 to go through the Lincoln & Holland Tunnel. So, I feel that I pay enough in taxes, also, I live in a blue state, surrounded by blue states of NY, Connecticut, Massachusetts, etc. So I feel that needs to be offset by someone like McCain. Hopefully NJ will wake up to that fact. Their union jobs are not threatened we have Democratic governors and legislatures. We need to keep jobs in this country. More jobs will leave if the tax rates on corporations are raised, you can count on it. The company my husband works for is pro union, but they won’t want to build condos anymore if they are hit with more taxes. We need to be pro business, we should not be punishing businesses for success. The main thing about Bush was that he was pro-business as was Bill Clinton. We are competing with the world. Corporations can move to other countries, they are global.

I spend hours on youtube everyday, commenting on videos of Obama. A lot of people go on youtube, it’s the #3 most visited site, his videos get hundreds of views. There are hundreds of videos of Obama’s comments posted on youtube. I also spread the word of websites such as dontvoteobama.net which has links to other websites that are against Obama. The guy who runs dontvoteobama.net was also a Hillary supporter, now he supporting McCain. You should visit that site, it is really funny and creative. He also has a blog on that site that you can vent on. Spread the word. I could never vote for Obama, the man is the biggest opportunist I have ever seen.

You make a good point about McCain’s supreme court nominees. A Democrat controlled Congress will not allow McCain to nominate a Supreme Court Justice who is pro-life. Even though I voted for Bush, I don’t want Roe-v-Wade overturned. I am a woman who is pro-choice. No one has the right to interfere with women’s choices regarding pregnancy in my opinion. Even though I am not thrilled with partial birth abortion, it really isn’t my business. Also, McCain isn’t an Evangelical, so I doubt he is that much of a pro-lifer. He also doesn’t seem to be that religious, he doesn’t even go to church and he doesn’t talk about his church at all really. The Obama people think that women who voted for Hillary will vote for Obama on that issue (they don’t want Roe overturned.)

Are Hillary’s supporters really voting for McCain in large numbers in the Fall? Do her supporters really hate Obama that much? McCain isn’t really a typical Republican, he is actually pushing for this Global Warming carbon credit, cap & trade which I am against. I feel it will hurt U.S. industry, and more jobs would be lost. Haven’t we lost enough jobs to China & India already? Why does McCain want cap & trade? The cost of cap & trade will be passed on to us, the consumer. Also, the windfall tax on oil companies will discourage oil companies from producing enough oil and there could be shortages (it has already been tried, I remember the 1970’s lines for gas). You don’t punish businesses for being successful in my opinion. It just doesn’t work. On the other hand, McCain wants to lower the corporate tax rate, which is good for business. We have the second highest corporate tax rate after Japan. Ireland lowered their corporate tax rate which attracted alot of businesses to Ireland. We are competing globally now. These corporations can move out of the country to more tax friendlier countries. McCain needs to realize this and capitalize on it. We need to encourage drilling off our coasts. China is drilling 50-60 miles off the Florida coast in cooperation with Cuba. If China is drilling 60 miles off FL we should be drilling 60 miles off FL. We are now in a recession, we should not be raising taxes on people, McCain needs to appeal to Hillary’s voters more and also appeal to the Republican base, which is tricky. Hard core conservatives are not happy with McCain but they are terrified of an Obama Presidency. They don’t want their successes to be punished. When Obama says things like: “We can’t drive our suv’s as much as we want, or eat as much as we want or keep our thermostats at 72 degrees because other countries won’t like it.” this strikes fear in the hearts of conservatives who don’t like the thought of collectivism. Hell, even Bill Clinton was more friendlier to businessmen than this Obama (he seems like a Marxist to me). Also, when he says things like, “we need to raise the capital gains rate to 28% because that’s “fair” it strikes fear in the hearts of conservatives because we know that if we owned a 2nd home or some stock that may have done well, we know when we sell it and we make our lousy $50,000 or $100,000 profit after years of sacrifice, we’re going to get whacked by Obama’s 28% capital gains tax. That was the money we were going to use to retire on and he’s going to whack us. In other words, we took the risk, and now the gov’t reaps the benefits of the risks we took. How is that “fair”? Also, a high capital gains tax is going to discourage people from investing in things like a second house to rent. (Which would hurt poor people who rent that houses.) We’ll put our money in municipal bonds instead. Or ask our accountant to put our money in another tax shelter device. Now, I am not a so-called rich person, I have a net worth under $500,000. It used to be higher, but the equity in my houses went down. I need money to retire on. Why does Obama want to discourage people like me from investing? Also, I am a person that put down 20% on my first home and 70% on my second home after I sold the first house. Why do people who put no money down on a house and took a subprime mortgage expect a bailout? Also, the banks that made these subprime loans should not have been bailed out, they should have to pay that money they were given back. I am tired of bailing out businesses for their lousy business decisions. The gov’t should be encouraging people to buy these foreclosures (people like me who actually sacrificed to have a nest egg in the bank). We could then fix them up and rent them out to people who don’t know how to manage their money and kept taking out equity loans when they had no equity. But no bank should be giving loans to people who put $0 down. Also, interest only loans are a bad idea. Didn’t these people read a book on how to buy a home? Didn’t their lawyer who did the closing tell them it wasn’t a good idea? Also, who didn’t know we were in a housing bubble? We all knew the housing bubble was going to burst. Anyone with half a brain knew it was coming for the last 3 - 4 years.
