Socialism is the inspirational seed for Communism

Supporting the Obama movement and views encourages the rebirth of communist regimes such as Russia, China, North Korea and inspires the anti American countries of Venusala and Iran. We have recently seen the intentions of these countries thru their actions towards stopping the inevitable unification of a globalizing peaceful world. These are serious and vonuralbe times facing world peace, free trade, capitalism, and true democracy. People must have control of their own densities and not Big Government. We can not afford and support a risky extreme socialistic change in America. These accesses of evil prowl on the current weakness and uncertainty exhibited during election time in America and global financial challenges. It is not time for job training in Washington with an inexperience naive Obama leadership or a any Democratic Party Leader who is totally leftists. On November 4th save the free world and America vote for John McCain. An honorable leader who tells the truth dead center, the only man who will cleanup the special interests groups and the corrupt democratic politicians in Washington’s Congress. McCain is the obvious choice for reconstructing a secure prosperous path for all Americans and the free world.
It’s time for Americans to make real change, step over the party lines and reunite!

True patriotism springs from a belief in the dignity of the individual, freedom and equality not only for Americans but for all people on earth.
If you are ashamed to stand by your colors, you had better seek another flag.

This is pretty funny...if it wasn't so stupid.

Frank seems to forget that for six of the last eight years republicans have controlled both the White House AND Congress. They have also appointed all the judges.
And yet the democrats are at fault for the mess we find ourselves in...

As for socialism. The bail-out plan was proposed by Paulsen, the republican treasury secretary, backed by Bush, the republican president. Obama as well as the Mc Cain both voted for it.
Now Mc Cain, the republican candidate for president, proposes that the government buy out all the faulty mortgages. That's socialism, isn't it? Actually it's communism where the state owns private property. Obama didn't proposed that, republican Mc Cain did.
Obama has proposed tax relief for small businesses.
It's almost like the roles are reversed.
Another example to show that Frank doesn't know what he's talking about.

As for Republicans being tough etc.
We've been trying to catch Bin Ladin for eight years and haven't been able to.
One guy has eluded us the mighty USA. With all of our technology, satellites, intelligence, sophisticated spy gadgets, special forces, all our Rambos, Bin Ladin is still out there, somewhere... laughing at us.

The genius Bush, a republican, decided it was a good idea to invade a country that had absolutely nothing to do with 9-11, thus diverting troops and materials from the one place we needed to stay in.
The result is that Afghanistan is back in play now, instead of us winning. The Taliban has grown stronger, as has Al Qaeda.
The heroin trade is flourishing, funding the insurgency, and we look like fools once again. So much for republican machismo.

Meanwhile our economy is in shambles and we're nearing bankruptcy. It's a well known fact that a country can not maintain a strong military if it has a weak economy. There will come a time when we won't have enough money to use those sophisticated weapons we have. Those fancy fighter jets will be sitting in their hangars because we won't be able to buy fuel for them.
That's what the republican party has done for America.
But, heck, if you want to be patriotic, wave the flag, have some apple pie, and vote for Mc Cain. Who cares that the Chinese are holding us hostage financially because we keep borrowing money from them? Or that Saudi Arabia can cause us to fall if only they decide to withdraw their holdings from American banks.
We're fast becoming a paper tiger, if we're not already there.
All this under a republican administration and 6 out of the last 8 years a republican congress.

Default Investor's Business Daily 10/8/08 RE: ACORN

Is ACORN Stealing The Election?
By INVESTOR'S BUSINESS DAILY | Posted Wednesday, October 08, 2008 4:20 PM PT

Election Fraud: A radical group Barack Obama used to work for is committing voter-registration fraud in several states, ahead of the election. What does Obama know about this scam?

It's a legitimate question to raise now that the FBI has raided the offices of the nonprofit Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now in Nevada and North Carolina , two states where Obama and John McCain are running neck-and-neck. ACORN has registered bogus voters in both states.

The group's voter-registration fraud is rampant, and authorities plan a nationwide sweep of ACORN offices to collect records.

In Nevada , state officials say the fraudulent registrations included forms for the starting lineup of the Dallas Cowboys football team, including quarterback Tony Romo.

"Romo is not registered to vote in the state of Nevada ," Secretary of State Ross Miller said, "and anybody trying to pose as Terrell Owens won't be able to cast a ballot on Nov. 4."

While those names will be flagged on Election Day, felonious voters may have better luck using other cutouts. Nevada , along with several other key battleground states, requires no ID to vote.

In North Carolina , where Obama has been running nonstop ads, ACORN has registered a record number of new voters, many of them suspicious. Statewide, Democrats are doing better than the GOP in new converts — even in traditionally Republican counties.

There have been 218,749 newly registered Democrats in North Carolina since January — more than five times the 38,337 new Republicans, state records show.

The numbers show a startlingly close political battle even in Republican-dominated Union County , with 4,233 new voters registering as Democrats and 4,362 as Republicans. In previous election years, new Republicans have outnumbered Democrats 2-to-1 in the fast-growing Charlotte-area county.

In Missouri , one ACORN registrant named Monica Rays showed up on no less than eight forms, all bearing the same signature.

Suspicious election officials sent letters to some 5,000 ACORN registrants in St. Louis , asking the letter recipients to contact them.

Fewer than 40 reponded.

In Kansas City , 15,000 registrations have been questioned, and last year four ACORN employees were indicted for fraud.

In addition, ACORN officials have also been indicted in Wisconsin and Colorado . Investigations against others are active in Ohio , Florida , Pennsylvania and Tennessee .

ACORN has also been registering convicted felons — including inmates — in Florida and other battleground states. ACORN boasts registering a record 1.5 million new voters so far this election.

What does all this have to do with Obama, besides the fact that he'd be the beneficiary of most, if not all, of these new votes?

For starters, Obama paid ACORN, which has endorsed him for president, $800,000 to register new voters, payments his campaign failed to accurately report. (They were disguised in his FEC disclosure as payments to a front group called Citizen Services Inc. for "advance work.")

What's more, Obama worked as executive director of ACORN's voter-registration arm, Project Vote, in 1992. Joined by two other community organizers on Chicago 's South Side, Obama conducted the voter-registration drive that helped elect Carol Moseley-Braun to the Senate that year.

The next year, 1993, Obama joined the civil-rights law firm Davis Miner Barnhill & Galland, where he sued the state of Illinois on behalf of ACORN to implement the federal "Motor Voter" law, which the GOP governor at the time refused to do. Then-Gov. Jim Edgar argued, presciently, that the Clinton law would invite voter fraud.

Obama downplays his ties to ACORN, and his campaign denies coordinating with ACORN to register voters.

Meantime, New Orleans-based ACORN maintains that it has no control over volunteers who are falsifying application forms, that they're like employees who steal from the store.

But the fraud is widespread and not isolated. It also turns out that some ACORN execs allegedly are involved in a $1 million embezzlement cover-up at their headquarters. Representing them in the case is none other than Michelle Obama's old law firm in Chicago .

ACORN's corruption is not just out in the field, as they claim. There's a pattern of corruption from the top down.

McCain would be wise to start preparing a challenge to voter registration rolls should he lose the race in a close contest. He'd be crazy not to contest the results in light of these events.

Great job agustus. You know after reading this I thought only an idiot would not get it. And then I think of Frank. LOL!!

P.S. According to Esther Election Fraud: "A radical group Barack Obama used to work for is committing voter-registration fraud in several states, ahead of the election." What does Obama know about this scam?" Even if it were true so what. G.W. Bush committed voter-fraud in two elections and got us in this horrible mess were in today. The Democrats need to
do some voter fraud if that's what it takes to get us out of this hole Bush as put us in.

The Acorn thing is much to do about nothing.
Workers that register voters get paid by the volume. The more people they register, the more they get paid. Some get greedy and use fictitious names to bolster their count. One character went as far as using the names of the entire Dallas Cowboys football team.
For all practical purposes it doesn't really change anything because these made up voters don't show up at the polls.
Some states require picture IDs while others send confirmation letters and if they get no answer the registrations are annulled.
So, it's just a scam by some misguided individuals rather than systematic election fraud like the one perpetrated by republicans in Florida in 2000.
So, Esther, relax, don't fret. Another conspiracy theory debunked.

Default Barack Obama's Health Reform Plan

www.healthpolicyandmarket.blogspot.com

"A Detailed Analysis of Barack Obama's Health Reform Plan"

"Obama’s claim that he would save $2,500 per family beyond a simple cost shift to the federal government of large claims is unsubstantiated and highly doubtful."

Esther, With little or no due respect to you don't you realize how much Bush is spending on the war a day?!
Do you have any idea how much of our money Bush gave to the super rich with tax rebates and retroactive tax
cuts. We could have health care and decent schools and much more. 1% of the U.S. population has 94% of the wealth.
This is why we get no health care and why they try to tell us it's to expensive.

PBS has a poll going: Do you think Sarah Palin is qualified to serve as Vice President of the USA?

Voting started at about 66% No, 30% Yes.

It's now getting close with "yes" "no" both in the 40's. The right wing has an email campaign going to turn the results around.

Please go vote. it's only a matter of clicking a radio button Yes, No, or Don't know.

http://www.pbs.org/now/polls/poll-435.html



After you vote, please send this to others. Now about 49% yes.

I couldn't find the right radio button! My choices were: Yes, No and Don't know. I was looking for HELL NO! but had to settle for NO.
