Evening Open Thread * “Hope”

hopepeanuts.jpg

Thanks to Truthteller for spotting this ‘toon in today’s edition of a major Ohio newspaper.

And what else is going on?

  • IndieDogg

    But, they left out “Duh” and “Um” and “Uh… Uh… Uh…” whatever Hillary John said….

    Careful Charlie Schulz. Even a venerable American icon like yourself is succeptable to Obama’s “enemy list”, which I’m sure by now is three times the length of tricky Dick’s at its height.

    As reported earlier my tinfoil hat was buzzing with anticipation but I had no idea why. Is the sudden trip to Hawaii by The Precious related to Andy Martin being there? Maybe this is why sparks were flying off my hat? :mrgreen:

    Sen. Barack Obama will take off two days from his campaign this week, less than two weeks before Election Day, for an urgent visit to his ailing grandmother in Hawaii, the Democratic presidential candidate’s campaign announced …

    Hawai’i Supreme Court asked to issue emergency writ opening secret Obama birth files

    Popcorn anyone? :mrgreen:

  • blog force one

    Charles Schulz is Dead. Unfortunately, he is probably registered to “vote”!

  • Indy

    Who has seen this breaking news about Obie rushing to Hawaii to visit sick (typical white) grandma? And does anyone think he’s really going because of the lawsuit there regarding his birth certificate? iirc, it was filed Friday.

    And, that toon is perfect :)

    You mean to tell me The Precious’ wrath can reach beyond the grave? All hail The Precious! ;)

    Schultz is RIP.

  • Indy

    I know. Galt came up with the link above, and as soon as I read the “breaking news” my BS meter went off. The One is likes to talk transparency but he is in-our-face secretive about info people expect about any POTUS candidate. Like keeping his Granny completely out sight. If she has been ill, couldn’t he just say she just isn’t up to it? We’ve seen McCain’s 96yo mother!

  • lusitania

    Read the Cartoon Title. It is CLASSIC Peanuts. DUH!

  • Chicago Joe

    The story is being covered in the Honolulu Advertiser with this interesting quote from Janice Okubo (who is probably sick to death of people asking for BHO’s birth certificate):

    However, Okubo said, “If someone from Obama’s campaign gave us permission in person and presented some kind of verification that he or she was Obama’s designee, we could release the vital record.”

    So if they want to dispense with this issue, it is as simple as that. Perhaps he will do so when he is there (just kidding!).

  • socalannie

    On Gretawire, it says he’s flying to Hawaii Thursday after a rally in Indiana, will be in Hawaii all day Friday & back on the campaign trail on Saturday.

    If typical-white-Grandma’s condition is so serious, why isn’t he on his way there now? Why wait? What is happening in Hawaii on Friday?

    I like my popcorn buttered!

    On another topic, memeorandum has posts about vandalism at BO events, and early voters being heckled by McCain supporters. What about the woman bashed with her McCain sign stick on the streets of NY by some obot slob? What about vandalism of the property of Hillary and McCain supporters? What about the demonstrators heckling attendees at the McCain/Palin rallies? I only see those things being reported on the net. What about the BO campaign denying BOs glowing comment about Ayers book and getting away with it?

    UGH. I can’t wait for him to lose.

    Obama’s Civilian National Security Force

    I read an article at countusout
    (4 articles down on the page) about this Security Force of Obama’s and it sounds like the SS in Nazi Germany. Apparently, he has already started forming this force and our tax money is going to the organization. His wife is in charge of this organization. He intends to enlarge it once he is president and expects it to be funded by the government with our tax money to the toon of $500m a year.

    Does anyone have any more info on this little item?

    What’s up with the African Press International claim to have a recorded conversation with Michelle Obama. And supposedly there was more revealing stuff said by Michelle than they originally reported. Now they’re reporting they were visited by a CIA official in Oslo (they’re located in Norway).

    And there’s a discussion on Monks Media (MommaE Radio Rebels) to the effect that Obama was involved in working with Kenya to strengthen trade with Iran and use this as vessel to normalize relations between US and Iran??? You can listen to the radio show on Monks Media (dated 10/20/08). http://www.monksmedia.com/momma.php

    I’ve heard Larry on this radio show so I’m assuming they’re legit?

  • NO NObama

  • Deep Truths

    Seriously now. In the middle of a presidential campaign, polls tightening, sick grandmother out of the hopital since last Friday. Not IN the hospital. Lawsuit or grandmother?

    Step grandmother in Kenya says she witnessed his birth, in Kenya. Step sister says he was born in one hospital in HI, another relative says it was in a different hospital.

    Lawsuits in 4 states, one has lawyers twice asking for delays, why? Wouldn’t it be more cost effective to PRODUCE said birth certificate instead of pouring gas onto the fire?

    THE HEAT IS ON!

    API thing appears to be BS. The lawyer they claim they are working with has no information on his site about it. It’s amazing what a few mouse clicks will reveal.

  • kinthenorthwest

    I also ask why not last week when she went into the hospital.

    I was off work early, packed and in my car with husband and kids when my mother went into hospital with serious problems. I was not going to wait. Im glad I didnt wait, she died 3 days after we got there. We did have a good visit and my kids got to know they saw their grandmother before she died.(only one was old enough to remember).

    What is Obama waiting for??? Is wife and kids going to visit this time??? I hope so.

    SusanUnPC. This is all I care. I only care that what we do today will impact our grandchildren and great grandchildren. Obama is not going to completely screw the country in one or two years, only partially. But it will start a downward slide with a high probability that it will be irreversible and it will mature in 20/30/40 years. Like dear Rev. Wright said, ‘chickens coming to roost.’ Except is not about 9/11 which is past, but 9/11/2040.

    barney frank under the bus?

    Frank: Tax Hikes Should Be Deferred
    4:43 PM ET: Speaking on CNBC moments ago, Rep. Barney Frank (D-Mass.), one of the faces of the $700 billion Wall Street bailout/rescue, said that promised tax hikes under an Obama administration should be pushed back until the economy recovers.

    “If the economy is still lagging badly,” Frank said, “I would defer an increase” in taxes.
    voices.washingtonpost.com/economy-watch

    Does anyone really think the ultra-wealthy are throwing millions at obama because he will raise their taxes? Does anybody really think that? If you do listen to barney frank. Tax increases on the ultra-wealthy will have to wait. Oh and those tax cuts for everyone? Well obama’s tax plan is a 10 year plan. I’m guess 95% of Americans will have to wait to get obama’s promised tax break.

    An e-mail:

    Kathryn,

    I teach confirmation class to middle school students at an Episcopal church in Manhattan. Yesterday, we were discussing the prophets of the Old Testament and asked the kids for examples of prophets. Several of the kids were pretty convinced Senator Obama was a prophet. It took a few minutes to explain that he’s neither a major nor minor prophet but that he’s just a guy running for president.

    And, of course, during prayer request time, we had to cover nationalized healthcare. I wish I was kidding…

    CCHD ends funding to ACORN over financial irregularities

    Catholic News Service ^ | ACORN (CORRECTED) Oct-16-2008 | Dennis Sadowski
    WASHINGTON (CNS) — The Catholic Campaign for Human Development suspended funding a nationwide community organizing group after it was disclosed June 2 that nearly $1 million had been embezzled. Funding was suspended for the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now, popularly known as ACORN, because of the financial irregularities, said Ralph McCloud, executive director of CCHD, the U.S. bishops’ domestic anti-poverty and social justice program. “We’re not funding them at any level,” McCloud told Catholic News Service Oct. 15. The suspension covers all 40 ACORN affiliates nationwide that had been approved for $1.13 million in grants for the funding…

    I really wonder if the McCain campaign is as dire as the MSM is making it out to be.

    I’m remembering the 2004 elections. I really disliked Kerry, thought he was a lame candidate. But thought that with the anti-war sentiment brewing and the MSM pounding on Bush, Kerry had a pretty good chance. Things seemed to be blowing his way. The war and its failures were all the MSM talked about. And the voting day came, and every Democrat (myself a former Dem included) and the MSM were blindsided by the “moral values” voters. We were like “WHAT?” With the war failures going on these people think moral values is the top priority? The MSM completely failed to report on Karl Rove’s strategy of putting anti gay marriage proposals on state ballots, drawing out the “moral values” voters who of course would vite for Bush. It was like, a full week, before the MSM came around to understanding what just hit them over the head. They have a great knack for being blind to anything they don’t like to see.

    Right now, there’s no repugnant Rove orchestrated anti-gay strategy in play. But there is one spunky, likeable Gov Pailin on all ballots, and she is the embodiment of the traditional values that are personal to the moral value voters. I can’t help but wonder if comes election day, these very same moral values voters, who the media completely ignores, and who have totally different agenda than all things obsessed by the media, will once again prevail.

    Does anyone remember how Kerry and Bush were polling at this time during the last election? I don’t remember. Didn’t pay much attention because I didn’t like either candidate.

    So it really won’t be over till it’s over.

  • whatshername

    I work for a judge and have some experience with how this works. When the Expedited (emergency) Order to Show Cause is filed, it normally would have a Proposed Order to Show Cause attached, which Mr. Martin’s does. We set a hearing date and time usually within a few days, a week at most.

    As an aside, I notice that Mr. Martin is representing himself pro se, meaning he has not retained a lawyer to represent him and do the legal work. A quick Google check shows that Mr. Martin has a J.D. (law) degree. I quickly read through his legal submissions and they didn’t strick me as the rantings of a lunatic, and believe me I’ve seen plenty of them!

    I haven’t seen anywhere that Mr. Obama was personally served with the Order to Show Cause, but it is rare to go ahead with an action without service. So just thinking out loud here…service…filing…requesting a hearing by October 22nd. It is quite possible that Proposed Order is no longer just proposed and is now an Order signed by the judge with an actual hearing date and time. Yep, that might explain the sudden trip to visit grandma in HI.

    I’m not a lawyer, but I do have two decades of courtroom and courthouse experience.

    I know Biden has gotten a free pass on lots of gaffes that the press would have slaughtered Palin for saying.

    I know, but it’s even more upside down then that.
    In my caucus we had a couple of 20 yr old white boys who called an elderly black woman a racist for not supporting Obama. Half of these fools don’t even know what they’re talking about anymore, they just chant the mantra without engaging the brain.

  • AnnieO

    I think the overconfidence of the Obama supporters will cause many of them to think it’s in the bag and many will stay home.

  • Indy

    Yes, Palin got the voters who were (at best) lukewarm on McCain. In Colorado, there is a ballot measure that will also turn out those voters. It basically says life begins at conception. Altho I’m going straight R this year (after straight D only 2 years ago), that’s a no vote from me. But it will draw those voters to the polls, and they will likely vote McCain.

  • socalannie

    Interesting point of view, but I think if Imbiben really wanted to throw the election, he could find a better way to do it.

    I was cruising channels this morning & stopped at msnbo (haven’t in a long while) & they played Joes comments & then no less than 4 guest commentators (I now call them Com-bots) all talked about how brilliant Joe was and how it didn’t look bad for Obama that he said this. I couldn’t believe my ears. Even the host (don’t know who…some woman) suggested to them that it wasn’t the brightest comment he could’ve made, but the Com-bots thought it made perfect sense. For some reason, Obama supporters have taken complete leave of their senses.

    I want to vote for Arnold Schwarzenegger for President!
    He cannot run? Cause he is not born here?
    Over!
    After BO everything is possible.
    I cannot vote? Cause I am not a citizen?
    Over!
    After BO no rules apply.

    A word to the African American Community.
    I want to start here and now. Because thats where we are.
    Slavery and Segregation were inhuman. But still equality can only happen when all parts are equal.

    The fact that more than 90% of African Americans are voting for BO is the purest racism.
    Somehow understandable, but nevertheless pure racism.

    The only way to see if You guys are really voting for the individual Obama and not the black guy Obama would have been if he was running against another person of color.

    That didn’t happen.
    And btw. how I would have loved it. To see a scilled experienced Person running for persident.
    Being also black.
    Not only black, cause that’s what BO is.
    His whole point is being the first black president.
    Other than that he is a newbie who pushed out a real choice by using fraudulent tactics.
    He has nothing to offer.
    And after this is over the black community will be left with the feeling that all You could bring forward was this scam of a candidate.
    He had all this money (conveniently given in sums under $200)
    And he could still not close the deal.
    And You will be left with the shame that You voted Your skincolor and not Your Conscience.
    This is going to be remembered.
    Even though I find (and I’m an immigrant from Europe) that white Americans are far lesser racist than black Americans.
    Still, if You use race over and over You will bring up race conscience in other people too.
    (thanks for taking us back to pre MLK times)
    The +9o% vote for an utterly incompetent candidate will be remembered as what it is. Racism.
    Oh ja, before I forget.
    My husband is African American from Texas.
    He was for Hillary, now he votes for the Democratic Candidate.
    He is commited to the party and hates Bush.
    We don’t talk about politics until November.
    Something we agreed on after it got loud a couple of times.
    I am aware of people like soldier4hillary, but she is one of few.
    Anyway, the black vote does not even matter to BO.
    I just wanted to say that it disgusts me to see the numbers. How it is obvious that those people are just voting race.
    Have a good night.

  • socalannie

    I was shocked myself. I haven’t watched msnbo in months. I know that Joe Scarborough will take on barky, but his show comes on at (I think) 5am here on the west coast, so I never see it. I agree with you completely, journalism as we knew it is dead.

    Phil Berg confirmed he is working for them. I’m going to hold off on judging these people. They’re the ones that got the truth out about what was happening in Kenya with Raila. Obama campaigning for Raila which American newspapers used, the BBC and Canadian newspapers.

    They have reporters in Kenya, but many of them are in Europe and subject to European laws. I can understand their concern for their reporters in Kenya and what could happen to them with Raila in power. Look what they did to Corsi, those people have no place to run too. No embassy that will help them. I’ll be patient while they make sure all I’s are dotted and all T’s are crossed before I question it or go around smearing them.

    African Press International Insists Michelle Obama Tapes to be Released Within 24 Hours

    Update: API retains counsel–Philip Berg–for U.S. distribution of taped evidence

    ou know, folks, I really hope that I’m dead wrong on this one. I’ve said from the beginning that the article in question, standing alone and without supporting evidence, wasn’t enough to convince me of the authenticity of the statements, but if the tapes surfaced and were real, obviously all bets were off.

    Should I be wrong on this (and even over and beyond this post at API’s Web site, I have reason to believe that I am), I will gladly own up to it — once I’m finished doing the dance of joy in my living room.

    I asked Philip Berg, via e-mail, whether or not he thought the API/Michelle Obama tapes were real and whether they would in fact be released within the next day or so as Chief Editor Korir maintains. His answer was simple, and firm.

    “Yes,” Berg wrote.

    I will say that there is more to this that I simply cannot report. Still, keep checking here for updates. In the meantime, keep your fingers crossed, and know that I am doing the same.

    He has never spoken of any family member that was meaningful to him. He did say once how much his grandmother loved *him*. Obama’s monumental mistake in this campaign has been to speak of how much people love and adore him, but like Bill Clinton has said, when running for president, you talk about and show how much you love and care for them – not vice versa. He doesn’t get that concept. He is such a neophyte! Michelle is the only person he gives accolades to. I’m sorry, his trip to Hawaii is very suspect.

    As I remember, everyone expected Kerry to win right up to the afternoon of the election. The exit polls all pointed that way, and he was ahead in the late polling numbers. They even announced a Kerry win. But Ohio was the tipping point, Bush took Ohio and Kerry refused to contest the results. It was razor thin but a win is a win. And Bush had an undeniable majority in the popular vote [not sure how], unlike the questionable FL numbers in 2000.

    Game over. But frankly, I was still shocked with the results.

    Guess I didn’t have my tinfoil hat on that day :0).

    I knew what I was saying and it was all to get a laugh. Yes, I was hinting at the fact that these cartoons would be scrapped because they didn’t make the One look good on a particular day.

    My appologies for a bad joke.

    Hey so how are things looking in Nevada? Which way do you think it will go, I am always hopeful for it to go Red but I doubt it, how does it look to u

  • Joe

    I thought that was odd too. The grandmother might be dying, and they dont take the kids to see her before she passes?? Michelle doesn’t go with him and give him support during a painful time in his life??

    Have to admit — it all does sound a bit odd. Just like Biden leaving the trail for a few days for a “family emergency” that was never explained.

  • Zee

    Martin should publicize that aspect alone if true…expose Obama for the lying’ weenie he is.

  • AnnieO

    LOL!

  • ddh

    it’s unpredictable..it has certainly been red before…and it’s a swing state this election.I have my fingers crossed…Lot’s of conservative Mormans!

  • Zee

    Andy Martin has huge gaps of logic, to say the least. He went on and on about Obama’s father being the last generation who could “qualify as an AA.”

    Newsflash, Martin…Obama’s father was an AFRICAN, period. No American in there.

    But hey, given the ABDICATION of obligation from the Dems and the MSM, I’ll take the likes of Andy Martin, if it gets Obama’s ass to Hawaii to answer a lawsuit.

    The press can’t ignore a Supreme Court appearance. If Obama goes to anywhere but to visit his grandmother, it will be news.

    And if the court opens the documents, and Obama can’t run, there will be riots all over America.

    Barry’s priority:

    1) pander to get votes
    2) have some waffles
    3) go see sick granny OR give (yet again) another speech to the American public when Andy Martin yells “October surprise!”

    And if the court opens the documents, and Obama can’t run, there will be riots all over America.

    Maybe thanks to this self-fulfilling prophecy people are spreading.

    We can’t allow someone to be president who is not eligible. If there are riots so be it.

    Very interesting, thanks.

    Is anyone as excited as me at the prospect of gaffe-prone Biden taking the reins of the campaign while Obama cavorts off to Hawaii to burn his birth certificate?

    Just look what he’s done in the last 24 hours. He’s told the nation that Obama weakness will embolden our enemies to attack us. Could a vice president possibly make a more negative statement against his running mate? Jeez, this is the guy who just months ago was saying that he didn’t think that Obama was ready for Presidency.

    What next? Well, put him in charge of the campaign and we’ll see!

  • barry bums a ciggie

    Thanks for that insight! I’m sure barry’s granny is sick but like someone posted earlier, she was sick 3 days ago and where was the news? She’s home now and all of a sudden *breaking news* he’s going to see sick typical grandmother (but only after he does a rally first…and on Thursday?). What an ahole. With his presidential looking plane, he can’t zip here to there, and do it discreetly without the media knowing it? Not buying it.

  • barry bums a ciggie

    Yep, so be it. We don’t let cheaters get their way because they intimidate and scare people of ‘what could be’. Besides, we’ll just ask Donna Brazile to explain about them RULEZ. Her mama said, rulez are rulez. Karma is a bitch.

    I was reading about Louis Farrakhan and noticed he has a team of people protecting his home in Chicago..they are called the Fruit of Islam..also I read an article awhile back about a neighborhood in Florida that has people just like that patrolling in certain neighborhoods.Wished I’d thought to keep that article….But do google Fruit of Islam..either way,it is frightening to think about.

    No How,No WAY,No OBAMA…ever!!!

    When I read between the lines of Joe “open mouth, insert foot” Biden, I see the word D R A F T.

    He made comments about how we don’t have a big enough military for everything, and haven’t for the last 20 yrs.

    Yes people, a change is comin’ to America…..

  • Nicole

    I’m sorry, because I don’t know the circumstances of Obama’s mother death, nor do I know their relationship very well, BUT I DO know that he also has a TV ad here in Ohio and he states “My mother died of cancer at 53. In those last painful months, she was worried about health insurance…etc”

    I’m not sure of the word for word text, but I know it begins like that, and as someone who recently lost my mother to a very unexpected cancer very young, I was disgusted and personally hurt that he would just blurt that out on national TV to make a cheap political point. I was so pissed. I still am. I couldn’t imagine exploiting my mother’s pain and suffering for political gain. Disgusting man he is.

    I know the pain of losing your mom, and it’s fucking horrific. It’s not something you politicize to win the Presidency.

    THAT is why I have to say–and I’m sorry to do so–that I have a sneaking suspicion that there is also some ohter element to Obama’s trip to Hawaii. I’m sorry to have to say that, I really am, but the man has told lie after lie and has distorted so much information. I find the timing of his trip odd in 2 ways:
    1.) The lawsuit in Hawaii coming out this week
    2.) Most importantly: YOU CANNOT PICK AND CHOOSE WHEN TO VIVSIT A FRAIL, EXTREMELY ILL PERSON! TIME IS PRECIOUS AND IS NOT GUARANTEED. HOW COULD HE WAIT 3 DAYS TO GO SEE HER?!

    This is all really strange and hurtful and f’ed up.

  • Lizzie Struthers

    Obama’s grannie sick? Could be. But odds are it’s just strategy. Get out of the limelight so you don’t stick your foot in it anymore. Plus elicit lots of sympathy: O’s going to be nice to a typical white person! Aw Perez Hilton might even feature it!

    Gotta find my flight bag… ;)

    There are going to be riots anyway.

    The only way to see if You guys are really voting for the individual Obama and not the black guy Obama would have been if he was running against another person of color.

    Wow. Why didn’t I think of that before? Wow. Wow.

    But they are voting racist. We all know that. We saw the caucuses.

    Even though I find (and I’m an immigrant from Europe) that white Americans are far lesser racist than black Americans.

    Yo. In general yes.

    Still, if You use race over and over You will bring up race conscience in other people too.

    Uppity has been hinting at this all along too.

    Have a good night.

    I don’t pray because I am not a monotheist. I am an atheist. I can wish her well and as with anyone be willing to do all I could for her but I cannot ‘pray’ for her. Are people who don’t drink that Kool-Aid welcome in this discussion? Or does everybody in the US have to believe the words on your actual money? Just asking. So is Richard Dawkins – at least in principle.

  • Andrew191

    It seems that all the injuries Granny has sustained from repeatedly being thrown under the bus have finally caught up with her. I truly hope that ALL of our prayers are with her. All cynicism aside, and all alterior motives aside, let’s not be so callous that we minimize the possibility that Granny really is gravely ill. As much as I despise Obama, I’ll not sacrifice my humaninity by ignoring the accomplishments and contributions of a woman, who by all acounts was nothing short of admirable. Please say a prayer for her, we can still be in utter visceral contempt for Barack.

  • anon

    Just jumpin’ in, but I thought I’d let you all know:

    Here in downtown Chicago I just visited the 7-11 on my block. An African American middle-aged male who was a uniformed doorman from a nearby Hilton or Hyatt hotel was adamant about NOBAMA! In his words, “I’ll spend or give MY money. No government’s gonna do that better for me. Its MY MONEY!”

    I said “High Five, Go McCain!” and he slapped my palm back and said “All the way!”

  • anon

    That, was hilarious!

  • Felizarte

    Maybe he wants to make sure his grandma does not leave any damaging documents lying around.

  • Bellevue_NW_Voter The Renter

    That cartoon is spot-on relevant! I love it.

    On another note, here’s a reason for hope:

    Today, an “educated/creative class” friend saw my McCain/Palin sticker on my briefcase and said, “Hey, where’d you get that?”. I mentioned that I got it at the Republican HQ when I stopped by to discuss doing some work for the campaign, and he asked, “Do they have more? Can you get me one? I’d like to put one on my car.”

    :-) Coming right up!

    He’s a former Ron Paul supporter who’s not excited about either candidate. He said he’d normally vote third-party, but “This election is just too close to throw my vote away because I want to make a statement. If it’s between McCain and Obama, I have to vote for McCain.”

    Score two more for our side (he’s married and his wife feels similarly).

  • Bellevue_NW_Voter The Renter

    I know the pain of losing your mom, and it’s fucking horrific. It’s not something you politicize to win the Presidency.

    Yeah, seriously. In my case, not only didn’t I use it for professional gain… I took a several-month leave from my job with almost no notice to be primary caregiver, because there was no one else even remotely in a position to do it. I paid dearly in karma lost at that employer, when they didn’t understand why I couldn’t wait a couple weeks to begin the leave, but I don’t regret -at all- making the choice that I did.

    Had I waited 2 weeks, I’d have lost almost 1/3 of the time I had left with my Mom, and I would have regretted THAT for the rest of my life.

    This just the first few paragraphs of the article/

    Important Update: US Law firm enters into agreement to represent API in The Michelle Obama tapes to be released soon in the US

    (Previous Update: Update! API will come with more information on Michelle Obama tapes at 16.00 hours Norwegian time )

    The touchy interview tapes of Michelle Obama, the wife of the US Presidential Candidate Barack Obama is soon ready for release in the US and will be aired unedited.

    The release has taken long due to the fact that API wanted to clear all legal hurdles and be safe from getting sued by any one. API and a US Law firm – LAW OFFICES OF PHILIP J. BERG has just entered into an agreement giving the law firm the right to represent API in all matters that may arise due to the Michelle Obama interview and the release of the tapes in the US.

    The Mormon angle — Palin’s genealogy.

    I googled Palin’s genealogy and found a lengthy listing of her ancestors — maternal and paternal.

    Note: my father’s side is from Idaho (as is Palin’s family tree) — and I’ve traced my father’s genealogy — discovering that both his parents have a lengthy Mormon pedigree — going back to the very early days of Joseph Smith.

    It turns out that there are a lot of Mormons in Palin’s list of ancestors.

    This isn’t surprising because there are probably millions of us who have Mormon ancestors — my grandfather fled the church and wanted nothing to do with religion.

    More then likely Mormons are aware of Palin’s genealogy — after all genealogy seems to be part of the Mormon religion (grin).

  • jrterrier

    by the way, what is it with Obama and women or is it just hillary. watch the videos of his appearance in tampa with Hillary (if you can, i could hardly do so) but he put his arm at her back as if he were escorting her on stage. somewhat like a husband or lover does, which is pretty nice if you are in that category. but not, if you are a senator with more seniority than the O.

    I know what you mean. I was pretty much fresh outta college, and had a job offer where I had done an internship. (This was just 3 weeks before I even knew my mom was sick). I just had a feeling I shouldn’t take the job. My mom did, too. So I decided not to.

    Turns out 3 weeks later we get the absolute worst surprise of our lives. My mom was only sick for 6 months, and I spent every single day with her. It was so hard trying to keep it together but we still had a lot of fun–we always did.

    If I had taken the job, I would have quit right away, but I don’t think Mom would have felt good about that.

    You’re absolutely right: we will never have to beat ourselves up over time wasted. But I’m still looking for any semblence of peace. I don’t think I’ll ever find it. I hope you’ve been able to.

  • Fenelon spoke

    Why is it necessary to to refer to people who pray as “drinking that kool-aid”? Whether we believe in God or not, the goal of all of us (except for trolls) is the defeat of Obama. No need for anyone to put down people people who pray or people who don’t.

    Someone could be playing this group. A person claiming possession of the recording posted a blurb from what looked like a US IP address on the API site. The API site claimed when I looked they accept new contributors. So you could be correct the site is legit but on this story maybe there is a big problem. And as of last night Berg is not their attorney, at least not yet. There was no official announcement from his site. Questioning what appears to be a fanciful story from a site that accepts new contributors is not “smearing.”

    I always wondered if Bobo would not present his grandma for fear of something she might say. Old people sometimes just toss inhibitions aside and say what’s on their minds, as Roberta McCain did in the “he’s a Mormon” and “they’ll just have to hold their noses” remarks. Regardless, Bobo doesn’t act like a normal human being. Between him and Jojo, this campaign seems like a circus of horrors!

    Great! While he’s off scamming his “Proof of Citizenship” Which they rufuse to surrender to the court order, a pretty serious Obstruction if you ask me…
    We can all take a moment to look at some serious race baiting by the Obama Campaign!

    It shows racial slurs inserted into their videoblog REPEATEDLY, while they censor every comment before it can appear! I have no Doubt these comments are of their own making!

    It only takes a minute and should APPALL even the most ardent Obama Supporter.
