Republicans always take a word or phrase that is good and right and make it a dirty word, example liberal. Redistribution of wealth, means that everyone gets to share in the pie, everyone has opportunity, not just the special few! AND

If the American public is truly concerned about the Voting Problems in America, then they should vote Dems all the way down the chain, because Republicans have fillibustered or stoped any kind of legislation to reform our voting system from fraud and hacking time and time again. We need a voting system we can believe in. This you will see reformed with a Dem President and legislation, along with enacting badly needed regulatory rules on our economic systems.

This is so typical McCain, Rove, and his Republican team.

They take the worse about themselves and slam it onto their opponent, Senator Obama. We have seen the worse possible president and partison party over the last 8 yrs. Look what they did to all of us. We are in amazing debt, our economy is in shambles, our government has been dismantled, we are in two wars (one a war of choice that has cost over 5,000 US lives and 100,000 Iraqi civilian lives and near $1trillion in Treasure), lowered our world reputation and spawned huge increase in terrorism, our constitution and rule of law abused, and the Geneva Convention rules broken. Can this be worse? Tell me, has everyone forgotten who did this? Is this self-inflicted amnesia? Not for me. I remember.

My family remembers. My town remembers. My state remembers. The world remembers.

The control of the Bush-Chaney administration involved McCain especially over the last 5yrs. I remember. When the Hamdan versus Rumfeld case came down, McCain said it was a travesty.

The Bush-Chaney administration controlled like no other. It is and was a imperial executive presidency. McCain goosestepped with them. There is proof. He like no other was espousing their talk with enthusiasm and rage against the enemies. I remember. This talk of Pelosi and Reid who lived through this horror of our country and could do little until they had a majority in Jan 2008, but were still strapped by the fillibuster (by Republicans). Over the last 2yrs and recently books have been published by brave investigative journalists that tell these stories. It will take a decade or more to understand.

Senator Obama isn't Bush and isn't a Democratic flack. He is a good manager and leader and well-versed in constitutional law. His skills and temperement and natural talents are highly suited to this office and to our time. We are so close to helping ourselves. I only hope people go to the polls and don't sit. If they do go, Senator Obama will win.

McCalin, Pain, and the RNC have been slinging mud at Obama and Biden day after dreary day. And nothing has stuck.

Better find a couple new targets. How about Harry Reed and Nancy Pelosi?

Okay, sling away!

isn't this fun?

Sure beats having to defend your own record of virtually complete loyalty to the amazing team that brought us to the mud patch we call an economy.

Go ahead, muck around in the mire, John. You're doing great.

But have you noticed how dirty your hands are?

Wow! I, for one, would be terrified if Palin and McCain get in office. This is not a conservative/liberal, rural/elitist thing. This is a common sense thing. The last thing this nation needs is someone who feeds on division and accusations. Ayres? Come on...that's like saying I am a drug-dealer because my ex-boyfriend back in junior high was convicted in high school, and now teaches kids to stay off of drugs. Oooh! Palin? That is a scary association. The woman cannot handle her own family let alone this nation (pregnant teenage daughter, overbearing husband). This is not gender specific. I am a working mother of three and I am more qualified than this ignorant woman to lead this nation. Should I? No and neither should she. Hillary would have been awesome, but I have grown to acknowledge the power of Obama (and no I am not referring to any supposed antichristian weirdness), and I feel we need someone calling for unity, intelligence and hope. Muslim? Who cares? If you do, then you are a sad sad individual and should pay more attention to religious teaching besides your own. I am a Christian but I feel no distrust of Muslims both here in the US and abroad. I have personally known people who practice Islam, and they are good Americans who cringe everytime someone makes anti-Islamic comments. We are not a Christian nation and people need to realize this. It is not a bad thing. It is as American as apple pie to practice according to your own beliefs. I, for one, would feel more comfortable if my president was an atheist or agnostic rather than suscribe to one religion over the other. Objectivity should be an important part of any elected official. Nevermind the hypocrites of both parties that claim Christianity and then pray at the feet of Wall Street. This country is nearly broken. We need a new agenda. We need new leadership. We need to get off our butts and make sure that whatever the outcome of this election, we are involved in our own governance. This was the intent of the founding fathers. GO VOTE!!!!!!!!!!!

And what is with all of this Marxist stuff? Do you even know what Marxism is? Have you read the Manifesto? I had to in college. Very eye-opening and, by the way, it has nothing to do with Obama. Socialism and communism are not equal entities. Communism is pretty much dead in the world (except for a watered-down example in East Asia). It, along with socialism, are intriguing ideas on paper and even on pulpits, but do not work in the real world. Europe and Canada do not practice pure socialism. The idea just isn't feasible, but they don't practice pure capitalism or democracy either. By the way, neither do we. We haven't since FDR pulled the nation out of the ashes back in the '30s. As for a pure democracy, the 2000 election pretty much killed that idea here in the US. If we had had a real democracy, we wouldn't have had to suffer through eight years of Bush. Gore would have won the election. Pure democracy equals popular vote. What we have instead is a representative democracy where we elect people to speak for us and vote for us. Don't you feel better with this politcal science lesson. Learn people, read for your sake, read for your children's sake. Take nothing at face value. Look everything up. And, I don't mean on a blog. Use P2P to download some books. Open your mind. Intelligence is the enemy of evil.

Whether you're a Liberal, Conservative or somewhere in between you should be able to connect the dots.--- "(Public) Education is thus a most powerful ally of humanism, and every American school is a school of humanism [ I would now add today socialism]" (Charles F. Potter, "Humanism: A New Religion," 1930)-- “When an opponent declares, 'I will not come over to your side.' I calmly say, 'Your child belongs to us already… What are you? You will pass on.Your descendants, however, now stand in the new camp. In a short time they will know nothing else but this new [socialist] community.'"- (Hitler) -- Now let's leap forward to today.--"America regularly has about 50 million children enrolled in K-12 schools, and about 20 million more in colleges and universities—and while the pattern fluctuates a little, 90 percent of those 70 million young people regularly get a state-flavored view of reality. Socialized medicine? Most of us recoil at the idea. Socialized airlines? Reminds us of Aeroflot. Socialized banks? When it happened last month, it terrified us. But socialized schools? Nine out of ten of us patronize them regularly. And we do so with na'ry a thought or concern about how such an arrangement affects next week's election, or the election after that, or the lifetime of elections to come.

Obama advisor wants talks with terrorists

The revelations about Obama's relationship with Khalidi follows a recent WND article quoting Israeli security officials who expressed "concern" about Robert Malley, an adviser to Obama who has advocated negotiations with Hamas and providing international assistance to the terrorist group.

Malley, a principal Obama foreign policy adviser, has penned numerous opinion articles, many of them co-written with a former adviser to the late Palestinian Authority President Yasser Arafat, petitioning for dialogue with Hamas and blasting Israel for numerous policies he says harm the Palestinian cause.

Malley also previously penned a well-circulated New York Review of Books piece largely blaming Israel for the collapse of the Israeli-Palestinian negotiations at Camp David in 2000 when Arafat turned down a Palestinian state in the West Bank, Gaza and eastern sections of Jerusalem and instead returned to the Middle East to launch an intifada, or terrorist campaign, against the Jewish state.

Malley's contentions have been strongly refuted by key participants at Camp David, including President Bill Clinton, then-Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak and primary U.S. envoy to the Middle East Dennis Ross, all of whom squarely blamed Arafat's refusal to make peace for the talks' failure.

ELECTION 2008

Obama worked with terrorist

Senator helped fund organization that rejects 'racist' Israel's existence

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Posted: February 24, 2008

By Aaron Klein

JERUSALEM – The board of a nonprofit organization on which Sen. Barack Obama served as a paid director alongside a confessed domestic terrorist granted funding to a controversial Arab group that mourns the establishment of Israel as a "catastrophe" and supports intense immigration reform, including providing drivers licenses and education to illegal aliens.

The co-founder of the Arab group in question, Columbia University professor Rashid Khalidi, also has held a fundraiser for Obama. Khalidi is a harsh critic of Israel, has made statements supportive of Palestinian terror and reportedly has worked on behalf of the Palestine Liberation Organization while it was involved in anti-Western terrorism and was labeled by the State Department as a terror group.

In 2001, the Woods Fund, a Chicago-based nonprofit that describes itself as a group helping the disadvantaged, provided a $40,000 grant to the Arab American Action Network, or AAAN, for which Khalidi's wife, Mona, serves as president. The Fund provided a second grant to the AAAN for $35,000 in 2002.

Obama was a director of the Woods Fund board from 1999 to Dec. 11, 2002, according to the Fund's website. According to tax filings, Obama received compensation of $6,000 per year for his service in 1999 and 2000.

Obama served on the Wood's Fund board alongside William C. Ayers, a member of the Weathermen terrorist group which sought to overthrow of the U.S. government and took responsibility for bombing the U.S. Capitol in 1971.

Ayers, who still serves on the Woods Fund board, contributed $200 to Obama's senatorial campaign fund and has served on panels with Obama at numerous public speaking engagements. Ayers admitted to involvement in the bombings of U.S. governmental buildings in the 1970s. He is a professor at the University of Illinois at Chicago.

The $40,000 grant from Obama's Woods Fund to the AAAN constituted about a fifth of the Arab group's reported grants for 2001, according to tax filings obtained by WND. The $35,000 Woods Fund grant in 2002 also constituted about one-fifth of AAAN's reported grants for that year.

The AAAN, headquartered in the heart of Chicago's Palestinian immigrant community, describes itself as working to "empower Chicago-area Arab immigrants and Arab Americans through the combined strategies of community organizing, advocacy, education and social services, leadership development, and forging productive relationships with other communities."

It reportedly has worked on projects with the Illinois Coalition for Immigrant and Refugee Rights, which supports open boarders and education for illegal aliens.

The AAAN in 2005 sent a letter to New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson in which it called a billboard opposing a North Carolina-New Mexico joint initiative to deny driver's licenses to illegal aliens a "bigoted attack on Arabs and Muslims."

Speakers at AAAN dinners and events routinely have taken an anti-Israel line.

The group co-sponsored a Palestinian art exhibit, titled, "The Subject of Palestine," that featured works related to what some Palestinians call the "Nakba" or "catastrophe" of Israel's founding in 1948.

According to the widely discredited Nakba narrative, Jews in 1948 forcibly expelled hundreds of thousands - some Palestinians claim over one million - Arabs from their homes and then took over the territory.

Historically, about 600,000 Arabs fled Israel after surrounding Arab countries warned they would destroy the Jewish state in 1948. Some Arabs also were driven out by Jewish forces while they were trying to push back invading Arab armies. At the same time, over 800,000 Jews were expelled or left Arab countries under threat after Israel was founded.

The theme of AAAN's Nakba art exhibit, held at DePaul University in 2005, was "the compelling and continuing tragedy of Palestinian life ... under [Israeli] occupation ... home demolition ... statelessness ... bereavement ... martyrdom, and ... the heroic struggle for life, for safety, and for freedom."

Another AAAN initiative, titled, "Al Nakba 1948 as experienced by Chicago Palestinians," seeks documents related to the "catastrophe" of Israel's founding.

A post on the AAAN site asked users: "Do you have photos, letters or other memories you could share about Al-Nakba-1948?"

That posting was recently removed. The AAAN website currently states the entire site is under construction.

Pro-PLO advocate held Obama fundraiser, describes Obama as 'sympathetic'

AAAN co-founder Rashid Khalidi was reportedly a director of the official PLO press agency WAFA in Beirut from 1976 to 1982, while the PLO committed scores of anti-Western attacks and was labeled by the U.S. as a terror group. Khalidi's wife, AAAN President Mona Khalidi, was reportedly WAFA's English translator during that period.

Rashid Khalidi at times has denied working directly for the PLO but Palestinian diplomatic sources in Ramallah told WND he indeed worked on behalf of WAFA. Khalidi also advised the Palestinian delegation to the Madrid Conference in 1991.

During documented speeches and public events, Khalidi has called Israel an "apartheid system in creation" and a destructive "racist" state.

He has multiple times expressed support for Palestinian terror, calling suicide bombings response to "Israeli aggression." He dedicated his 1986 book, "Under Siege," to "those who gave their lives ... in defense of the cause of Palestine and independence of Lebanon." Critics assailed the book as excusing Palestinian terrorism.

While the Woods Fund's contribution to Khalidi's AAAN might be perceived as a one-time run in with Obama, the presidential hopeful and Khalidi evidence a deeper relationship.

According to a professor at the University of Chicago who said he has known Obama for 12 years, the Democratic presidential hopeful first befriended Khalidi when the two worked together at the university. The professor spoke on condition of anonymity. Khalidi lectured at the University of Chicago until 2003 while Obama taught law there from 1993 until his election to the Senate in 2004.

Khalidi in 2000 held what was described as a successful fundraiser for Obama's failed bid for a seat in the U.S. House of Representatives, a fact not denied by Khalidi.

Speaking in a joint interview with WND and the John Batchelor Show of New York's WABC Radio and Los Angeles' KFI Radio, Khalidi was asked about his 2000 fundraiser for Obama.

"I was just doing my duties as a Chicago resident to help my local politician," Khalidi stated.

Khalidi said he supports Obama for president "because he is the only candidate who has expressed sympathy for the Palestinian cause."

Khalidi also lauded Obama for "saying he supports talks with Iran. If the U.S. can talk with the Soviet Union during the Cold War, there is no reason it can't talk with the Iranians."

Asked about Obama's role funding the AAAN, Khalidi claimed he had "never heard of the Woods Fund until it popped up on a bunch of blogs a few months ago."

He terminated the call when petitioned further about his links with Obama.

Contacted by phone, Mona Khalidi refused to answer WND's questions about the AAAN's involvement with Obama.

Obama's campaign headquarters did not reply to a list of WND questions sent by e-mail to the senator's press office.

Obama, American terrorist in same circles

Obama served on the board with Ayers, who was a Weathermen leader and has written about his involvement with the group's bombings of the New York City Police headquarters in 1970, the Capitol in 1971 and the Pentagon in 1972.

"I don't regret setting bombs. I feel we didn't do enough," Ayers told the New York Times in an interview released on Sept. 11, 2001

"Everything was absolutely ideal on the day I bombed the Pentagon," Ayers wrote in his memoirs, titled "Fugitive Days." He continued with a disclaimer that he didn't personally set the bombs, but his group set the explosives and planned the attack.

A $200 campaign contribution is listed on April 2, 2001 by the "Friends of Barack Obama" campaign fund. The two taught appeared speaking together at several public events, including a 1997 University of Chicago panel entitled, "Should a child ever be called a 'super predator?'" and another panel for the University of Illinois in April 2002, entitled, "Intellectuals: Who Needs Them?"

The charges against Ayers were dropped in 1974 because of prosecutorial misconduct, including illegal surveillance.

Ayers is married to another notorious Weathermen terrorist, Bernadine Dohrn, who has also served on panels with Obama. Dohrn was once on the FBI's Top 10 Most Wanted List and was described by J. Edgar Hoover as the "most dangerous woman in America." Ayers and Dohrn raised the son of Weathermen terrorist Kathy Boudin, who was serving a sentence for participating in a 1981 murder and robbery that left 4 people dead.

Now Barack Hussein Obama is a close friend of and praises a PLO supporter in Rashid Khalid

and the LA Times has the video tape proof.

Obama makes Bill Belichek look like an angel with all these disturbing videos floating around of

Obama's radical associations.

It’s pretty easy for Obama or anyone else to attack George Bush on his economic policies but Obama can't attack George Bush on his record on fighting terrorists to protect America while he

is busy wining and dining with terrorists !!

Barack Hussein Obama should be tried for treason and being a threat to US national security.

Barack says he has the right to distribute your money the way he sees fit. That’s dictatorship.
