Old Man McCain - (n) Another old white guy running for president for the conservo-theo-fascist party (a.k.a. - republicans). Has a temper problem and a hot wife. War Hero (unlike the current moron in office). George W. Bush claims he has a kid that looks like Barak Obama.

see Bob Dole.

McCain doesn't believe in big government?

McCain is despised by the ACLU?

This is the best argument yet I've heard for McCain, I may have to change my vote!

So Buddha, should a politician give out money to organizations that he/she likes? Is that how your philosophy works? Sounds like it from your post.

Runny, Herbie and Scrub all said they were for smaller government, but increased it, in their order, faster than any ever. What makes you think McWain will be any different? As the name WcWain would suggest he'll be a big wagon full of BS.

During his imprisonment in Vietnam, he heroically refused to accept release before other American servicemen who had been held longer.

He'll do just fine... He's a much better man than any of you pukes.

Barack Hussein Obama's World
We are a congregation which is Unashamedly Black and Unapologetically Christian... Our roots in the Black religious experience and tradition are deep, lasting and permanent. We are an African people, and remain "true to our native land," the mother continent, the cradle of civilization. God has superintended our pilgrimage through the days of slavery, the days of segregation, and the long night of racism. It is God who gives us the strength and courage to continuously address injustice as a people, and as a congregation. We constantly affirm our trust in God through cultural expression of a Black worship service and ministries which address the Black Community.

Trinity United Church of Christ adopted the Black Value System written by the Manford Byrd Recognition Committee chaired by Vallmer Jordan in 1981. We believe in the following 12 precepts and covenantal statements. These Black Ethics must be taught and exemplified in homes, churches, nurseries and schools, wherever Blacks are gathered. They must reflect on the following concepts:

Commitment to God Commitment to the Black Community Commitment to the Black Family Dedication to the Pursuit of Education Dedication to the Pursuit of Excellence Adherence to the Black Work Ethic Commitment to Self-Discipline and Self-Respect Disavowal of the Pursuit of "Middleclassness" Pledge to make the fruits of all developing and acquired skills available to the Black Community Pledge to Allocate Regularly, a Portion of Personal Resources for Strengthening and Supporting Black Institutions Pledge allegiance to all Black leadership who espouse and embrace the Black Value System Personal commitment to embracement of the Black Value System. The Pastor as well as the membership of Trinity United Church of Christ is committed to a 10-point Vision:

A congregation committed to ADORATION. A congregation preaching SALVATION. A congregation actively seeking RECONCILIATION. A congregation with a non-negotiable COMMITMENT TO AFRICA. A congregation committed to BIBLICAL EDUCATION. A congregation committed to CULTURAL EDUCATION. A congregation committed to the HISTORICAL EDUCATION OF AFRICAN PEOPLE IN DIASPORA. A congregation committed to LIBERATION. A congregation committed to RESTORATION. A congregation working towards ECONOMIC PARITY.

Twenty years of the Bush family running this country would be extended another four years.

The fall of the CCCP wasn't a single super power collapse.
The other half of that cold war is soon be also ready for the tank.
Reducing this government as quick as possible is the only way to cushion a really hard dead cat bounce soon.

Almost forgot my fav; As goes GM.so goes america.

On the Muslim Americans for Obama ’08 site, one will find a list of upcoming events, issues and solutions, details on how to join, a links section to sites of interest, and of course, a link to the blog. There’s even a toll-free number to call for more information.

Within the events section, a number of the listings pertain to conferences and conventions being sponsored by organizations that have a number of troubling ties. One is the 44th Annual ISNA National Convention, held in Rosemont, Illinois.

I cannot support a person to be president of the United States who puts in AUTHORITY over him a church that purports : "We are an African people, and remain "true to our native land," the mother continent, the cradle of civilization."

I mean, do they mean that? If so, that's bad for the U.S.. If not, why do they say it? Either way, it's not a good thing.

Obama remains true to AFRICA!? Wowza.

ISSUES & SOLUTIONS


QUESTION: What are issues and recommendations for solutions that are unique to Muslim Americans?

1. A Law against harrassment of a Muslim women wearing Hijab at the Airport, DMV and other public arenas.

2. Institute a Law to allow Muslim Employees to take a hours off from work for Friday Jummah Prayer.

3. Make the 2 Eid's, recognized National Holidays on Calendars with days off from work.

4. Optional Halal meals in federal buildiings, public schools and colleges.

5. Provide prayer areas suitable for Salah and Jummah, in public and private facilities. (i.e. Malls, Airports, Universities and government buildings.)

6. Organize a Muslim American group to assist in recommendations for US foreign policy affecting majority Muslim countries.

Why do we never know the truth about anything in this country? Do you think we might be part of the hollywood world that we try to pass off as reality? Is Rush right that he is left alone as the only one who really knows?

If race doesn't work, try religion or are they just the same?

They're flipping out about Obama to the point that they've forgotten about Bill Clinton.

Amazing.


Funny how McCain says he "gets it now" re: border security.   What was his brain damage that he didn't "get it" before?

I am not all excited about John McCain (anybody ever see his record with aircraft? ) Good Lord the guy dodged the bullet too darn many times.

Additionally he has never been shy about doing what he wants regardless....but like the elections since 1992 there hasn't been anybody I liked.
