		<description>The actions in Ohio are exactly what has been causing the accusations from Republicans of voter fraud resulting in the strictest litmus test for voting coming out of states like mine, Florida.
I never understood the accusations before regarding voter fraud. I know, in Florida, we now have to show our Drivers license to vote and our address better match what is on the voter roll. The registration card we receive is worth nothing. Many here don&#039;t have D.L.&#039;s and therefore can&#039;t vote. Ohio&#039;s decision will result in MORE voter disenfranchisement after this election cycle. And frankly, now I understand why.</description>

		<description>I just checked my Ohio notification card, mailed to me, telling me I am registered to vote and my polling location.

On the back of it it says, &quot;Voters must bring identification to the polls in order to verify identity....&quot;

So based on this post, I, who registered ahead of time, have to provide ID, but same day registration-voters, or homeless people, get to vote without ID. ???? !!!!! ???? 

Observers at these same day locations were turned away. Are observers going to be allowed to watch when these votes are counted to make sure that citizenship and identity are validated? And who checks out of state college kids? There are more than 5 colleges in Columbus and within an hour of OSU. Are they voting in both this state and their home state by absentee ballot, thus voting twice?

I feel like a second class citizen in my own state and country. I play by the rules and I have to show ID. 

And the conservative Ohio Supreme Court approves of this? I am beginning to fell like I live in a banana state.</description>

		<description>Its unfortunate Obama doesn&#039;t have any outstanding or heroic service to his country in his short and murky history that speaks about his love for or service to country that can be swiftboated.

&lt;strong&gt;Looks like those dirty Republicans are out of luck since Obama is so clean.

		<description>Speaking of character assassination, let&#039;s not forget that BY FAR the most awful smears ever made against John McCain were put out by his fellow Republicans. :(

Remember how a group of pro-Bush Republicans disseminated scrofulous smears against John McCain in the 2000 primary?  &lt;strong&gt;The Republicans were smearing a Viet Nam War hero to win a primary.&lt;/strong&gt;

Of course, they then went on to smear another Viet Nam hero—John Kerry--in 2004.  I don&#039;t know why Republicans hate Viet Nam vets so much.

Anyway, it&#039;s was things like this that have convinced me that--for all their protestations of patriotism--Republicans are basically traitors.

The years 2000-2006 have confirmed this belief.  I was hoping for a decent Democrat like Hillary to get in there and get these people out of our government, but the Obama people hit us with a club.</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;Are we now geting to a point where whoever cheats the most efectively wins?&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Beth, I believe that&#039;s exactly what is going on. :(

This is my take on history.  A group of bad Democrats—the Obama gang—got sick and tired of watching Republicans put degenerate traitors and incompetents into office, merely because Republicans cheat.

They decided to beat the Republicans at their own game.  That&#039;s what&#039;s happening.  

Needless to say, if the Democrats have started cheating in earnest, the Republicans don&#039;t stand a chance.</description>

		<description>ROFLMAO

&lt;blockquote&gt;Obama is about to lower the boom&lt;/blockquote&gt;

The Obammunist is about to lower his pants after crapping  himself with Sarah America being all over his &#039;friends&#039; these last few days. Now with Hannity&#039;s report today I suggest he keep the pants off and just put on some Depends to make it easier for him. We all know how lazy he is, doggone it!

BTW the last thing the Obammunist should do is go the Keating 5 route as that&#039;s way old news. John McCain complied with every aspect of that investigation, was completely transparent (something totally foreign to the Obammunist) and was exonerated of any wrong doing in any way, shape or form.

You must be either very young or completely dense if you don&#039;t know the outcome of the Keating 5 issue. Now go and do some homework on it so next time you don&#039;t appear so ignorant.</description>

		<description>Touchet-
I have wondered the same thing about issues pertaining to Africa- especially when I found out that Dr Susan Rice was brought on as a political advisor to Sen Obama.

Speculation on my part BUT:
SEN OBAMA HAS NEVER BEEN ASKED, NOR HAS HE VOLUNTEERED HIS POSITION ON REPARATIONS FOR SLAVERY.

I was disturbed during the primary as to why Sen. Obama &amp; his campaign always kept bringing up race in this race.

I believed that this race should be about votes-his votes in Congress.

I posted a &#039;Shout out&#039; to Sen Obama and his campaign- This is what I wrote:

Sen Obama, if you want to keep this public discourse on the topic of race, then I will oblige one more time so that we can hopefully FINALLY move on to your voting record in Congress-where you have consistently sabotaged attempts to solve problems that affect middle class Americans.

Is it true that you supported 3rd ward Ald. Dorothy Tillman in her runoff (which she ultimately lost) against independent Pat Dowell” last year?

SunTimes Commentary- “Will 3rd Ward politics affect Obama’s presidential race? ” by Rich Miller 3/23/07
Ms Tillman has an impressive record in the civil rights movement-no doubt.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dorothy_Tillman

She is also one of the leading and outspoken U.S advocates of reparations for slavery.



What is your position on reparations for slavery in the U.S?




What about reparations for slavery from western, ex-colonial powers for Africa and African nations? I understand that during the 2001 UN-sponsored World Conference against Racism, many African nations demanded an apology-plus other things- from ex-colonial European nations for the role they (European nations) had in promoting the slave trade.

“Africa calls for slavery apology” , cnn.com, 9/0/01 

“DURBAN, South Africa — African leaders have called on the U.S. and Europe to apologize for their part in the colonial slave trade but are divided on whether to insist on reparations.”

Interesting article (see below)  which may allow us to infer what Sen Obama’s position on reparations issue MIGHT BE:

“When Barry Became Barack” by Richard Wolffe, Jessica Ramirez and Jeffrey Bartholet 

 NEWSWEEK  3/31/08  Issue 

I found this story very interesting however I was quiet surprised when I reached the last page.

The author recounted a story that was passed on to Sen Obama by white family members concerning an incident at a waikiki bar involving Sen Obama’s bio-dad  Barry Sr.

 “Barry&#039;s white grandfather and several other Hawaiian friends take Barry Sr. to a Waikiki bar. It&#039;s a joyous scene, everyone eating and drinking &quot;to the sounds of a slack-key guitar,&quot; when a white man with a booming voice announces to the bartender that he shouldn&#039;t have to drink &quot;next to a nigger.&quot; The stunned clientele expects a fight. But Barry Sr. smiles and quietly lectures the man &quot;about the folly of bigotry, the promise of the American dream, and the universal rights of man.&quot; 

In response, the shamed white man gives Barry Sr. $100, in apparent payment for his sin of racism. Even the young Obama found the tale hard to believe.

 But many years later, he recalls in &quot;Dreams From My Father,&quot; he got a phone call from a Japanese-American man who had been a classmate of Barry Sr.&#039;s in Hawaii. Unprompted, the man told Obama the same story. 

Obama says he was struck by the man&#039;s tone of &quot;disbelief—and hope.&quot;

************

P.S I cant confirm this however I had heard somewhere that John Conyers was working on a bill in Congress to help make this (reparations for slavery) happen.

Can anyone confirm or refute this &amp; PLEASE provide source link.</description>
		<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Touchet-<br />
I have wondered the same thing about issues pertaining to Africa- especially when I found out that Dr Susan Rice was brought on as a political advisor to Sen Obama.</p>
<p>Speculation on my part BUT:<br />
SEN OBAMA HAS NEVER BEEN ASKED, NOR HAS HE VOLUNTEERED HIS POSITION ON REPARATIONS FOR SLAVERY.</p>
<p>I was disturbed during the primary as to why Sen. Obama &amp; his campaign always kept bringing up race in this race.</p>
<p>I believed that this race should be about votes-his votes in Congress.</p>
<p>I posted a &#8216;Shout out&#8217; to Sen Obama and his campaign- This is what I wrote:</p>
<p>Sen Obama, if you want to keep this public discourse on the topic of race, then I will oblige one more time so that we can hopefully FINALLY move on to your voting record in Congress-where you have consistently sabotaged attempts to solve problems that affect middle class Americans.</p>
<p>Is it true that you supported 3rd ward Ald. Dorothy Tillman in her runoff (which she ultimately lost) against independent Pat Dowell” last year?</p>
