Palin: The 'right thing' for America will happen Nov. 4

I'm voting for Obama because he's white.

Future historians, including future media, will boldly tell how today's press became dictators while preaching freedom of expression for all. Perhaps this is another dictatorship of the proletariat.

The support and cover-up for Obama has reached a shameful proportion.

Rural America is not what you rural folks would like to think it is, it is filled with politicians like Palin, who do anything to BS THE UNEDUCATED FOLKS, AND WHEN THEY GET ELECTED THEY HIRE ALL THEIR RELATIVES AND FILL THEIR POCKETS WITH CITY MONEY.
They are not the simple folks they portray themselves to be,believme I come from a small community and I know many folks any the rural areas,saints they are not.
Dobson and his ilked feed on these folks because they put the fear of GOD into them, we should not fear GOD, UNLESS WE ARE EVIL .

If you are a Christian, you cannot vote for a pro-abortion candidate if a pro-life candidate is running. Read the letters from the Catholic bishops. 40 million children killed in the US since Roe v. Wade. After you die, and those children ask what you did for them, how will you answer?
*****************************************************************************************
Sorry Chris, I'm not buying this. First, pro-choice does not equal pro-abortion. That is simplistic. Republicans gave us the Iraq war which is as far from pro-life as one can get. The blood of thousands of innocent Iraqis and American troops drips from Republican hands.

Underdogs? Huh? The beauty queen high school basketball star is an underdog? The wealthy son and grandson of Navy admirals is an underdog- how?

These people are disgusting. Palin makes me sick.

Can't wait for the day McCain and Palin have to exit the field. They've done a lot to divide our country and they were not even elected by the rest of the 48 states.

Lee - Obama is not a Muslim. He's a Christian, but the real question should be "So what if he were?". Last I checked, the Constitution bars any religious test from being applied to anyone seeking the Presidency. Also, he's American, not African. If he were African, he wouldn't be allowed to run. Of course, if Sarah Palin's buddies in the Alaskan Separatist Party had their way, Palin couldn't've run because Alaska wouldn't be part of America. But of course, freedom-loving Alaskans who want to secede are probably just "mavericky", like her. It completely sickens me the way that right-wing extremists will continue to perpetuate these tired lies, and try to distract us from the real issues. In the third debate, McCain kept whining how he was attacked by Louis, and how Obama said nothing. Did Palin say anything when people were shouting "Kill him!" at their rallies, referring to Obama? Meanwhile, at the debate, Obama was actually trying to discuss policy! Imagine that; there is a candidate who is talking about policies instead of personalities. Oh, and as far as the Pop-Pundits like Hannity, foul little miserable man that he is, they are paid to rile people up. Sadly, it works, he and Bill O'Reilly do nothing but talk over people when those people start to say something intelligent that is counter to their extremist points, and they badger them and pull out the "L" word.
Oh, and Christianity is not the only religion that counts. Sorry about that. When you start talking about how this is the "will of God", it stops being a coherent discussion and turns into a one-way rant. You effectively shut down positive communication and discussion when you pull out your religious "Because He Says So!"
You can't reason, argue or debate faith. So all I can respond with is "That's your opinion and you're entitled to it." It shuts down the conversation, but at least it is polite. But oh no, that isn't enough for some, some of you have to come back with "I'm RIGHT AND YOU'RE WRONG AND YOU'RE GOING TO HELL!" Is that what we're reduced to? What happened to intellectual discourse? What happened to civil disagreements? Oh, I forgot, Intellectual is now a 4-letter word. Disgusting. I'm just glad there are some of us still teaching our children how to think for themselves, and disagree productively with others. Maybe there's still hope for this country.

Never seen such hatred? Wow, dude, where have you been? Hatred like "hey n*****s, it's called the white house for a reason " - t-shirt in Pearland Texas? Or how about the sock puppets that look like monkeys with Obama stiched to its shirt? How about the nooses and the dead black bear cub swaddled in Obama stickers? Is that enough hate? Perhaps we can go back into history and see the lynchings, the torture, the rape of African Americans in this country and maybe that'll be enough hate for you,huh, Dobson? Get real. We sure as hell will do the right thing on 11/4. Obama 08.

More power to ya, klulu!

The problem with Palin spending 150,000 tax money on clothes is that she is trying to sell the fact that she is no different than joe six pack or joe plummer or joe whoever... well average joe doesn't spend 150,000 tax money on clothes. she is such a hypocrite.

She claims she was found of no wrong doing in trooper gate and all findings indicate she violated ethics laws. Does she think if she repeatedly lies to us that we will believe it?

Here's the real clincher.... She doesn't know what the VP of the U.S. does: this is her statement:
A vice president has a really great job because not only are they there to support the president's agenda, they're there like the team member, the teammate to the president," Palin continued. “But also, they're in charge of the United States Senate, so if they want to they can really get in there with the senators and make a lot of good policy changes that will make life better for Brandon and his family and his classroom. And it's a great job and I look forward to having that job.”

According to the constitution, the VP is only a tie-breaker vote.... oh yeah... the constitution... I don't think the republicans abide by the constitution.

Her latest rhetoric is socialism... well lets define socialism: An economic system in which the basic means of production are primarily owned and controlled collectively, usually by government under some system of central planning. hmmm do I hear social security, medicare, any government program that aides the people..or is she talking about when the government acts such as the Patriot Act which has weakened our civil liberties where law enforcement agencies can search telephone, e-mail communications, medical, financial and other records without a court order....
The American Bar Association said that President Bush was flouting the Constitution and undermining the rule of law by claiming the power to disregard selected provisions of bills that he signed.
In a comprehensive report, a bipartisan 11-member panel of the bar association said Mr. Bush had used such “signing statements” far more than his predecessors, raising constitutional objections to more than 800 provisions in more than 100 laws on the ground that they infringed on his prerogatives.

Palin uses this word socialism to adhere to the ole'' fear tactics of the republican party. the real fear should be the continuation of the abuse of power we have seen in the oval office for which McSame would embrace.

Of all the vile racist, xenophobic, horrific smears that have directed at Barack Obama, James Dobson thinks the criticisms of Sarah Palin--a singularly unqualified Vp candidate--are the ones we should be concerned about? Perhaps he should go back to praying for rain on Democrats' outdoor speeches.

Reading the above comments I am discouraged; the tone of intolerance from both sides is staggering. Personally, I don't think God is a registered member of either party. Let's each vote for our candiates, but leave the bashing and character smears out of it. We need to pull together in these challenging times. Ask yourself, what are YOU doing to make America better?

"I know at the end of the day, putting this in God's hands, the right thing for America will be done at the end of the day on Nov. 4"

So, will she be willing to admit that God wanted Obama in office if she loses? Or, will she choose to blame the media and community groups for her party's own failure? Can't wait to watch this one unfold ...

Just shows that no woman should be in office. Let's face it. Women don't have what it takes. It was unspoken, but that's why Obama beat Hillary. He will beat McSame and that repug woman

The press was given the task of reporting and vetting American leadership.
What is in place today.?
Does everyone think the questions about Obama will go away if he is elected?

Hasn't anyone noticed that the office of President is worse on anyone with any questioned history?
Maybe answers should be forthcoming now.
Maybe Hillary is right.

Just shows that no woman should be in office. Let's face it. Women don't have what it takes. It was unspoken, but that's why Obama beat Hillary. He will beat McSame and that repug woman

Of course the right thing will happen 11/4. Paylin will go back to Alaska (sad for the people there, but better them than us!) and honor her contract with the skin magazine.

Hey, look at me, follow me, I'm a right wing republican ideologist. I believe in the savior, Jesus Christ. You know, Jesus Christ, man of love, benefactor to the poor, the meek, the displaced, the crippled. Man of peace.

By the way, I think it is a good idea to unilaterally invade a foreign country based upon lies and misrepresentations, and go ahead and kill a couple of hundred thousand people. And all you people out there espousing "spreading the wealth" --- why you shameful socialists. Yes, Jesus himself would be proud.

Yes

Gov. Palin is doing just what she is supposed to do as a Christian - stand up for what God's word says is "right" - not what man's word says. She is an "Esther" in this current world and should stand strong for what she believes in - God said He knows us in the womb, so at that time we have a living soul. Never did our forefathers intend that our nation be one that excuses murdering the unborn (who have no defense except for the mother carrying them). The United States is not mentioned in prophecy of the last nations in the bible so that might be very telling about where we are headed. If we do not elect a president that can stand up to the radicals that want to destroy us, and are attacked again, the economy won't matter anyway. Remember how the stock market and all commerce stopped after 9/11. John McCain is the man we need.

Funny how these religious wackos are so torn up by abortion...and yet they're the first to demand the death penalty -- or march the US off to invade another country and kill its citizens (not to mention get a whole mess of American kids killed in the process).

And funny how the extreme right-wingers who pass for Republican these days will excuse all of their side's crimes.

Can American afford another 8 years of Republican wacko hypocrisy?

Lee, what kind of an idiot are you. Obama is christian. I am a Muslim US citizen and I love my country. What a fool!!! Go back to school!!!

------------------
"You are voting for a Muslim who hates this country. Just incredible how he's managed to fool all of you. Just amazing... now this African Muslim."

Mr. Dobson is a man that I have admired for the last 25 years, but I have a problem when someone says that he is a big fan of Palins (or anyone) because of her strong anti-abortion views. Joe Biden and the republican's share exactly the same views on when life begins....which is at conception. The difference here is that Biden's view allows for the respect of other's views, which is the reason for the separation of church and state. We cannot allow someone's religious beliefs to dictate public policy. This has no bearing on a pluralistic society, which allows for differing views.

what does God have to do with this at all? was God watching when she flew her kids around the country to parties they weren't invited to and made the people of Alaska pay for it? how about the bridge to nowhere, whatever happened to that money?

Obama/Biden---or I am moving to Mexico!

Kind of like the "right thing" happening to this country in Iraq and Vietnam, eh Palin? Feeling the power of prayer, really now, given the polls? How can one have certitude with respect to things that are not knowable? Just downright disingenuous!

One fact about Sarah Palin - there are millions of people in the United States and only 50 governors. I guess that makes her unqualified. And please don't criticize someone who has a real faith - after all, I haven't heard any of the Obama supporters criticize him for his faith - as defined by his pastor of 20 years!

Did that last statement read true? Did she give birth to a baby with Down Syndrome just to score a political point? To prove that she can "walk the walk"? That poor child! To have a monster like that for a mother. She will get her come-uppins for that. Especially as she has shown no interest in the child but only her own ambitions.

If you know and read the Bible, you will know that the policies Obama stands for are not Christian. It disgusts me that many people who call themselves "Christian", don't even know what the Bible says. Abortion and homosexuality are clearly wrong. Read your Bible!

Palin's comments crystalize everything that is wrong with radical religious fundamentalism. In a time of extreme economic turmoil, rising unemployment, skyrocketing health care costs and lack of adequate health care for millions of American families, yoyoing oil prices, the collapse of major sectors of the finance industry, down-sizing at major American companies, increases in food prices and fuel oil, not to mention a disasterous invasion of Iraq and increase in militant Islamic radicalism due to the Bush policies . . .

Despite all these problems, all Palin cane do is beam like an imbecile with the self-righteous, unquestioned certainty that, notwithstanding the need to undertake human actions based on rational human decisions, God will take care of everything.

The fervor of this kind of blind, pre-Enlightenment fanaticism is foolish, self-destructive, irresponsible and dangerous. Apocalypse soon.

Thump your Bible harder Jack Evans. Right on brother! bring on the Rapture, Bring on the end of the world. Never mind that Bible Thumpers don't ever seem to realize that "Love your Neighbor" is the second greatest commandment. But noooo, beat him/her to death with your Bible. Christian fundamentalists are so like Muslim fundamentalists are so like ______(fill in) fundamentalists. It's "my way" or the sword, isn't it?

First and foremost, if you truly believe in the Christian faith you know that God gave me a "Free Will." He can not decide this election if thats what you believe.

I have my own views on that matter but that really doesn't matter. I would just like everyone to have the definition for liberal and conservative.

Liberal = of or constituting a political party in the United Kingdom associated with ideals of individual especially economic freedom, greater individual participation in government, and constitutional, political, and administrative reforms designed to secure these objectives.

Conservative = tending or disposed to maintain existing views, conditions, or institutions : traditional b: marked by moderation or caution c: marked by or relating to traditional norms of taste, elegance, style, or manners.

Now I fall somewhere in between both depending on what issue we are talking about. If something works there is no need to fix it, but if something doesn't work then work together to get it fixed. All of this "your a liberal" talk is just another way for people to try and divide the nation. If we all look past these attempts to divide our nation we will all be the better tomorrow.

Peace, think about it.

THE UNDERDOG in this case represents the minority voice of opinion and the issues and direction they feel this country should take if you go by polling standards
According to Palin, if it is in God's hands and say God happens to choose Obama as President, does that mean she will really take her statement to heart and thus change her views to Democrat and take back all the bad stuff she said about Obama and the Democratic party because after all according to her God would have chosen the right ticket, the right political views the right direction to win and as a Christian would she not follow what God wishes? Does this conclude according to the gospel of Palin if you follow that logic of thought through and through that Palin will change her views and become a Democrat? I'm just following the bouncing ball of logic here.

John McCain how can I get my donation money back that I contributed to you. I did not contribute money for Sarah Palin and her families wardrobe. I would like a refund.

I woul really like to hear a decent Republican rebuttal to anything they term as "an attack". Anything other than but "Obama did this, obama did that." Just answer the questions. How do Republicans feel about someone found guilty of violatin her office? How do they really fell about a candidate that doesn't have a stable plan that's actually been thought out? What would you do if John died? Do you really think that a govenor of a state of 648,000 people (70% of which are men. Balanced?) is more qualified that someone that's governed millions? What the hell will McCain actually do different than what Bush has done that could possibly dig us out of this mess? If cutting taxes for the richest didn't do anything but hurt us, how will even more tax cuts help us?

Seriouus answers are welcome. The typical "Socialist" , "Idiots" namecalling just shows your prty for what it is.

The shame here is that it is a continuance of the Bush Administration. Bush said "I am not a divider" and yet we are more divided since the civil war.
He said, "I know the oil industry", yet gas prices are the highest. Arms sales by the US has hit an all time high. We now have more people incarcerated than ANY country in the world, our economy is the worst since the great depression.

Palin and McCain will continue the policies of the past eight years. While I am neither Republican or Democratic, it is beyond me how the Republicans cannot see that George Bush has done more to destroy the Republican party than anyone in history.

You liberals get on here and pretend to know the population of conservative Christian voters - well you don't. If you'd cut your own self-righteous "tolerance," maybe you'd see that the majority of us are hard working Americans who serve and love their neighbors who just happen to disagree with you on some political issues. Now let's face it: Palin's open Christianity isn't any more of a reason to hate her than Obama's alleged Muslim faith is.
That having been said, allow me to enlighten the my liberal friends on here: Being anti-Abortion doesn't make me sexist; being opposed to big government doesn't make me an elitist; questioning Obama's extreme associations doesn't make me racist. I should have every right to disagree with you without having my character attacked, and Palin should have the right to say that God's will will be done in the election without you people calling her a lunatic. It is unfortunate that people like Pat Roberston exist to perpetuate these stigmas, but it is entirely your fault for allowing them to shape your sweeping disdain for the conservative Christian population.

The right thing will happen indeed...if the false prophets of Christianity who espouse war, torture, intolerance, hatred, racism, contempt for the poor, contempt for their neighbors, and various other things totally contrary to the teachings of Jesus finally lose.

"Not everyone that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? And in thy name have cast out devils? And in thy name done many wonderful works? And then will I profess unto them, I NEVER KNEW YOU: depart from me, ye that work iniquity." - Jesus Christ

GOD has His plan. I trust in HIM, even the BABY KILLER can get into the White House in this Nov 4. So Wake up America.
"Everyone will experience the consequences of his own acts. If his act are right, he'll get good consequences; if they're not, he'll suffer for it." - Harry Browne

GET READY FOR FIRST AFFIRMATIVE ACTION PRESIDENT. GUY WITH NO RECORD (OTHER THAN BEING PRESENT), NO ACCOMPLISHMENTS AND NO PLANS (OTHER THAN TO SPREAD THE WEALTH AROUND)

You know the conversation should begin about how the Republican Party threw it's candidate for President under the bus, and should those who participated be accountable for such an underhanded move.

When Mr. McCain suspended his campaign to return to Washington to deal with the economic crisis, the House Republicans did nothing short of telling the world that Mr. McCain was not a leader they would follow.

They publicly humiliated their candidate, and in doing so denigrated his leadership qualities.

If Mr. McCain loses this election, the renegade House Republican's should share a heaping helping of contribution to that loss.

M, take a pill. No ones attacking you or your beliefs. We are attacking what appears to be a nut job of a candidate.The true conservative Christian population is a fairly normal group of folks that closely resemble the liberal median on both coasts. If you were in our churches you'd propably feel right at home, and you'd be welcome just as we would be in your churches. We, like you, probably don't like anyone that's too far out on the fringes. Palin is fringy! Really fringy. Like freaky fringy. As a Christian you know you can't bear false witness. She does. You know you can't lie. She did. You know you should be out there telling everyone what you intend to do, truthfully. She doesn't. We don't attack the Christian right. We attack people that call themselves that and then do all these things that aren't Christian and aren't right!

She is free to say whatever she wants and anyone else is just as free to call whatever they want because of what she says. Free speech. Hello.

I'm way too dumb to know what God wants or if he gives a crap. But I'm smart enough to know that it won't influence a "right" choice. If God is influencing these matters, we're all in deep doo doo. Look at history, folks.

You're right lj9283. The Repubs can't even back each other up in a time of crisis. That's a big red flag to me. Bush really screwed things up for the GOP.

Has anyone thought of how rediculous it is that republicans are supposedly "pro-life"? I mean that would require indroducing a law banning abortions, correct? Aren't repubs against regulation? They are supposed to be for decreasing the size of government right? Is it just me? Could it be that they are just trying to envoke partisanship on a sensitive issue?

Oh, right - if the endorser is Farrakan, it can't be good for America. Smart guy. What about when the endorser is Al-Qaeda? They endorsed McCain today.

i swear the barrack disiples cant see that for the last 20 years we have lived high off the hog using credit and greed as a diving board, no mater how high you dive you are sooner or later going to land in a pool with no water in it, rep & dems all in it together, america deserves either of these losers
ps the whole world is having the same problems stupid

When will everyone just stop and listen? Probably never, because they would hear what they don't want to and that is this election is not about Biden, McCain, Obama, or Palin. It's about race people!!!! This election is entirely about race. No one wants to say it, so I will. On November 4, the only "change" will be is that America will wake up to see itself as the true racist it is.

Everyone can dance around, telling themselves and others that racism doesn't exist or matter in this election. I tell you, let it be remembered on this post, Obama will not win for one reason only, he is a black man. It's not meant to hurt anyone's feelings just meant to make everyone stop and think. America and the world is just not ready for a NON-WHITE MALE to be president, similarly the reason why HILLARY CLINTON didn't get nominated, b/c the parties (YES BOTH OF THEM IN CONJUNCTION WITH ONE ANOTHER) decided if HILLARY was the candidate, she would win. Both parties and the rest of government understands
world policy more than average people do, and they understand that the WORLD isn't ready for a non-traditional leader here.

Like it or not, McCain and Palin will win on racial lines/

Read between the lines of what Palin said: "I know at the end of the day, putting this in God's hands, the right thing for America will be done at the end of the day on Nov. 4". Is she implying that it is God's wishes to elect her and McCain? Last time I've seen such religious arrogance was when Bush himself thought God wanted him to be President.
Or, is she thinking that whatever happens at the end of the day is God's will? If Obama wins, will she still believe that that was God's will? If she's thinking that nothing happens if God doesn't let it happen, then I agree, but I hope that that means that Obama will win.

Palin knows that God will do the right thing on November 4th.

From the look of the current polls, that is exactly what He will do.

I was not aware that God was a Republican. Why are more college graduates voting for Obama than McCain? I think it may due to the fact that we are more prone to asking questions and looking further into a subject in order to formulate our own opinion as opposed to believing that Limbaugh's and Fox News is gospel and is always correct. It is to the point where those where I can no longer be angry at those who say such preposterous things, but shake my head in pity at how ignorant they are. I think that more Republicans 'hate' than other people do. They apparently believe that those who believe differently are crazy, inferior, or spawns of Satan. Though I have not read the bible; I have heard that there is a line that states 'love thy neighbor.' My neighbors are Religious, Atheist, Pro-Life, Pro-Choice, Gay, Straight, Smart, Dumb, White, Black. We believe different things but I do not hate them because we disagree. I respect their opinions. I wish more Republicans shared this view and did not loved others as much as the 'pretend' to love others.

Underdog. Is that like a pit bull? With lipstick?

I disagree with you, BaracksSecretAdvisor. I have faith that the American people will take this opportunity to show that they have grown and that this election is not about race. It is about electing the best person for the job.

Funny how the republicans that are responding are responding to the issue and the article; while the supposed "enlightened" democrats are throwing out ad hominid (personal) attacks.

Perhaps if democrats would respond to the issues and not side step them, some of us "stupid" republicans can get a sense of the direction you all want to head. In the mean time, it takes someone on the street that works for a living to stop your candidate and get him to answer a simple question...and now he and his running mate are making excuses and trying to redirect what was said. That won't work in the international arena. We can only hope that it won't work here before as Biden said, the world tests our possible new president.

Listen to the entire interview on line. It is more than frightening. Here you get to listen to Palin's far right ideology "without the media filter" and what you'll find is that this woman has never read the constitution she holds so dear. Not only has she wrongly defined the role of the VP but she clearly has no idea about something kown as the separation of church and state. Where does she get off thinking that god, her god or any other, is a republican.

I think all Sarah was saying is that, because of her faith, no matter how things work out, that is what is "God's Plan", even if it is not her. So, she is not as stressed out about the outcome as many here are.

I agree about the lack of appreciation and tolerance on both sides. Two polarities of the same issue: too much focus on personal insecurity and blame, and not enough focus on what we can all do to sweep our own doorstep. Goethe said, "If everyone swept their own doorstep, the whole world would be clean".

To you leftist morons spewing YOUR hate on this board.

I now, however sadly, look forward to the upcoming civil war.

See you at the party!

Why do nutbag liberal trolls carpet-bomb the comment section of every f'n article written about every f'n word that Palin has said, was thought to have said, or will probably say.

Obsess much?

I'm glad I don't live in the land of liberals.

"In God's hands"...God, of course, being GOP code for Diebold.

Obama is an IDIOT, He and congress are going to run this country in to the ground. Then I want to hear all you Dems, and Obama supporters then. It will be your fault. McCain isn't all that, but he is a whole lot better then Obama. I would vote for Mickey Mouse rather then Obama. Obama is going to divide this country.

NOBAMA

THE UNDERDOG in this case represents the minority voice of opinion and the issues and direction they feel this country should take if you go by polling standards
According to Palin, if it is in God's hands and say God happens to choose Obama as President, does that mean she will really take her statement to heart and thus change her views to Democrat and take back all the bad stuff she said about Obama and the Democratic party because after all according to her God would have chosen the right ticket, the right political views the right direction to win and as a Christian would she not follow what God wishes? Does this conclude according to the gospel of Palin if you follow that logic of thought through and through that Palin will change her views and become a Democrat? I'm just following the bouncing ball of logic here.

What happens if on Nov 4. God elects Obama? Will she only appeal to the small pockets of PRO-GOD parts of the country?

Also for a Christian leader to say he has never seen that much hatred towards a person is pretty damn blind; refer to MLK, JFk, RLK. Those people where hated so much they were murdered. Hitler didn't hate the jews right?

I wish people would take a look within first before they open their cake wholes.

Reading some of the comments, I get the sensation that some Republicans think that their party represents some kind of religious superiority, some kind of moral backbone that no other party has. Oh please! We've seen SO MANY adulterous, homosexual or immoral politicians on BOTH sides of the political aisle that that makes your whole argument moot. If God voted, he'd be an independent!

"You cannot win the Presidency without Rural america, and the majority of rural america is conservative."

uh....looked at an electoral map lately? for one, it shows that, worst case scenario, Barack WILL win without the rural vote...for two, even though he's ahead in virginia, florida, ohio, missouri, north dakota, north carolina, he doesn't need ANY of them to win. McCain on the other hand needs pretty much all of them to even have a chance...so your statement, while no doubt well intentioned, is hopelessly out of touch with reality

"Yes, God will have the right thing accomplished for his Plan when Barack Obama is elected President on November 4, 2008, a man dedicated to love, compassion, forgiveness and unity. All the things Christ asked of is in the man called Barack Obama."

WHAT HOW CAN YOU THINK THAT GOD WILL BACK SOME ONE THAT IS FOR EVERYTHING CHRISTIANITY IS NOT! CHRIST CAME TO THIS EARTH TO SAVE THE UNSAVED AND THE WICKED...IN OTHER WORDS ALL OF US. HOW CAN ANYONE THAT CALLS THEMSELVES A CHRISTIAN CAN BACK OBAMA. I AM NOT SAYING THAT MCCAIN IS THE RIGHT CHOICE BUT HES THE ONLY ONE THAT CAN AND WILL PROTECT CHRISTIAN VIEW.

What would you do if John died? Do you really think that a govenor of a state of 648,000 people (70% of which are men. Balanced?) is more qualified that someone that's governed millions?
Posted by Cassius

What do you mean someone who has governed millions. Obama hasn't governed anybody. Most presidents have been Gov. of a State before being elected to Pres.
Reagan, Clinton. Not Obama, he didn't even get voted into the Senate, he got all the other nominees disqualified. There was none left to run against him.

What is this county coming to???

Oh My-lanta! YOU PEOPLE ARE ALL NUTS. I get scared reading your blogs
for fear you might be my next door neighbor.
You want to eat fetus??? What is wrong with you???
God created heaven and earth, he is ultimately in control here
Why do you think Obama is telling you left wing radicals
not to be overconfident. Even he knows what the turnout will be
on Nov. 4. So please dont burn my house when you
start rioting you even make Obama nervous

Wow, can't help but notice how many angry people there are here. I appreciate those few people--from BOTH sides of the debate here, who have offered polite, thoughtful responses. No matter who you're voting for, before you throw attacks at "the other side," stop, read your own post, and evaluate how your own words sound. Perhaps we could ALL use some practice "loving" others by learning to disagree respectfully, and leave the name-calling behind.

Oh, and just for the record? I see things I agree with, and other things that trouble me in BOTH parties...my heart is not really at rest voting for EITHER of them at the moment. Whoever wins in November will inherit a big mess and will need the support, prayers, etc. of ALL Americans, whether it is their candidate of choice or not...

When will the masses realize that religion is a crippling mental disease? This election will be a major referendum on the intelligent vs. mentally handicapped. How could anyone honestly say that a vote for Palin is in the countrys best interest? Quite laughable if it wasn't just so very scary.

I saw two humorous and fairly truthful political cartoons today. One showed Hannity of Fox fame up close in the camera saying "I was right! All these fraudulent voters that ACORN registered are showing up to vote!".. in the background were Mickey Mouse, Sponge-Bob, Homer Simpson.. etc. at a voting booth. The second was of both a polar bear and an elephant (aka Republican Party) sitting on two separate dwindling pieces of ice in the Arctic Ocean. The polar bear says "Wanna' bet on who becomes extinct first?"

The Republican Party has lost all credence as a serious political party. By allowing themselves to cater to religious extremists these past 20 years or so... you can see from some of the posts on here how crazy they are, like a mirror 'Christian' image to the Islamic fundamentalists, although a brand of Christianity that is virulent and hateful... they've tried to force America to become some type of theocracy, with their skewed religious views as the only allowable ones, all the while promoting ignorance, stupidity, and fear-tactics, while castigating anyone who can think for themselves as 'elitist'.

Even with our economy falling apart at the seams, and all the repairing and pain we'll have to go through resulting from their bungled 8 years of administration, it's going to feel SO good after the election, when they cry out in disbelief because they won't be able to delude themselves that they're the 'majority' any longer..... Thank God they never really were!! :-)

I am sure god wants "the messiah" to be elected on NOV 4th

Post 79- Highland: Obama alligning himself with individuals who is more experience than him on various issues and topics is the sign an intelligent and thinking person. No one person knows it all, everyone is ignorant and inexperience in some way or the other. Perhaps if GWB had sought to listen to others and the rest of the world our sons, daugthers, fathers, mothers, friends and love ones would not be loosing their lives in Iraq. The party in power for the last two terms were supposed to be experienced and older than Obama, but look at our economy now. Moreover, God forbid that Palin should ever get near that seat in the white house, for as dumb asshe is, Heaven help is all if she doesn't seek the advice of others who at least may know more than she does.whoite house,

Mary Jane - Well said! But don't confuse the loony-toon version of Christians with facts. BTW, I don't think God,the Creator of the universe, gives a tinkers damn about who wins our pathetic little election.

To you guys that are mad about never aborting a baby... what if the mother's life is seriously at risk at the time of delivery, would you rather let her die? At least Obama wants her to have an option between her own life and that of her baby. What is worse? To have the option, or have the goverment automatically decide that you die and the baby lives?

Of course the procedure of a "partial birth abortion" is unimaginably ugly and scary, but killing the mom against her own will is also ugly and scary. This is one of the most personal decisions possible and should never be decided by government.

Maaaaaaan. For the last 3 days i've been pouring over ALOT of info about these 4 people that everyone will be obsessed with for the next 2 weeks. Here's what it boils down to. Ready?

McCain. Palin. Biden. Obama. ACORN. Ayers. God. Abortion. Economy. War. Experience. Old. Guns. God. Racist. Racism. Race. Sexist. Sexism. Sex. God. Hate. Hate. Hate. Repeat.

This is coming from both sides. Obama and McCain people. it's so F*cking boring.

I voted for Obama. Not because he's awesome, but because he doesn't suck as much as McCain. And the only reason i think he's better than McCain, is because Palin scares me to death.

That's really all i wanted to say. Thanks.

There is no medical procedure called "Partial Birth Abortion". This phrase is used to cover several procedures performed in the case of last medical resort for the life of the woman. The most common reason is that the fetus has died in utero.

Obama voted against bad legislation. That is his job as a legislator. Life support is already provided by law if needed. The legislation in question was eventually passed when it included the recommendations Obama made.

I will be interested to see if Dobson and Palin agree that God made the best choice for the nation if Obama wins.

Somehow I think not. I suspect it will be spun as punishment on the nation for our evil ways. Palin should go home, Alaska should leave the union, and she can invite all of her radical supporters to join her. We won't miss them.

America can get back to being land of the free and home of the brave.

A question to Sarah Palin and other Christians:

Do you pray that McCain will be elected, or ask God to help you have the faith to trust His decison? Although I do not feel it too presumptuous to pray that the person who is best for our national and international community be chosen, I do not feel comfortable praying for a particular candidate.
Also, have you all read "The Audacity of HOpe's" chapter on religion and spirituality? It is very interesting.

you people are idiots that would say al-qiuda is for Mccain. If they did say that are you not intelligent enough to not know that they would do that to make Mccain look bad so he would not be president.. They want Obama.....get some brains idiots

Pretty sure it's in the American people's hands.

Palin alone is the reason I will not vote for John McCain. Palin is dingy, shallow, superficial and scary as scary can be. Can anyone imagine this loony-tune any where near a nuclear trigger?

Here is a prime example of the Right Wing NUTS who inhabit our 32% nation.

149 - To you leftist morons spewing YOUR hate on this board.
I now, however sadly, look forward to the upcoming civil war.
See you at the party!

Notice how the poster claims Leftists 'Hate', but then proceeds to call them 'Morons' ..... I think it is a lie you are sad about a Civil War .... I think you never thought otherwise about wanting it. I think you desire it more than anything; And all you need is an American of African descent to be elected President for your kind to explode in self righteous racist violence.

Well: THIS 'white man' was done with your kind 4 decades ago, and I will GLADLY pull the voting lever for Obama come November 5th. It will be a patriotic honor.

Signed: PROUD Liberal.

Were she not a complete power hungry hypocrite playing way outside her league I might almost feel sorry for her. As it stands she deserves every bit of the national scorn that is being heaped upon her. Nevertheless, she will emerge as Cruel Empress of the Rush Limbaugh skinhead right and we will not be rid of her.

Yes, I believe that God will be in charge of the election. This is my prayer, but I believe that Obama is on God's side. The main message of Jesus was brotherly love.
How can a party claim to be "pro-life" and be so anxious to go to war to kill, often the innocent.
God is not a Republican or a Democrat, a Baptist or Methodist. We do not create God in our own image. The magnificent Creator of all created us.
As for the elimination of gay rights, recently I heard the following statistic in a documentary. 1 in 2000 are born what is now being called "middle-sexed". These individuals have both female and male genitalia; and their sex is physically undetermined by human eye at birth. Often the doctor may choose one sex or the other surgically for an infant or young child.
A dear friend of mine was born this way.
God created my friend.
Since a "middle-sexed" person is created by God showing physical characteristics of both sexes, whoever a middle-sexed person chooses to date and marry, he/she is in a same-sex marriage. This doesn't even consider those individuals with other biological implications influening their sexual-orientation decisions.
Shouldn't we leave such issues between the individual and God instead of judging.
What happened to the verse, judge not that ye be not judged.
Whatever happened to teaching the Sermon on the Mount or the only two Great Commandments Jesus taught.
If Jesus came back today, I believe he would cry when he saw how petty and exclusive our churches and theologies have become.

I hope our elections are in the electorates hands although any help that the electorate can get will be greatly appreciated. We certainly needed more help than we received in 2000 and 2004.

tino, you're dead wrong - the websites this was originally posted on were radically muslim. They DO want McCainn. their whole purpose is for us to engage with them. what do you think terrorism is all about? its the only way the weak can have any influence over the strong. i don't know the answer to who will be the best president, they are both too ambitious and have changed what they do and don't say just to get elected - but any thinking person knew even before this org came out with this, that Taliban and other extremists want Bush II. We are exactly were they want us. Low world opinion, seen as occupiers, etc Get A Clue.

OBAMA ALREADY HARMING THE ECONOMY.

A Statement by

100 DISTINGUISED AND EXPERIENCED ECONOMISTS

at major American universities and research organizations, including five Nobel Prize winners Gary Becker, James Buchanan, Robert Mundell, Edward Prescott, and Vernon Smith. The economists explain why Barack Obama's proposals, including "misguided tax hikes," would "decrease the number of jobs in America." The prospects of such tax rate increases under Barack OBAMA

are already HARMING THE ECONOMY.

The economists conclude that "Barack Obama's economic proposals are wrong for the American economy." The proposals "defy both economic reason and economic experience."

Quote ... The economists conclude that "Barack Obama's economic proposals are WRONG FOR THE AMERICAN ECONOMY.

While suturing a cut on the hand of a 75 year old rancher, who's hand was caught in the gate while working cattle, the doctor struck up a conversation with the old man. Eventually the topic got around to Palin and her bid.

The old rancher said, "Well, ya know, Palin is a 'Post Turtle'."
Not being familiar with the term, the doctor asked him what a 'Post Turtle' was.
The old rancher said, "When you're driving down a country road you come across a fence post with a turtle balanced on top, that's a 'Post Turtle'."

The old rancher saw the puzzled look on the doctor's face so he continued to explain. "You know she didn't get up there by herself, she don't belong up there, she don't know what to do while she's up there, and you just wonder what kind of dummy put her up there to begin with."

It's good to know that Sarah Palin and John McCain have the graciousness that they will accept the decision of the American People without contesting ballots come Nov 4. Of course, when Obama wins, and they cry fowl-play, no one will remember this conversation will they? Unfortunate.

"I am amazed at how irrational the responses are (1-19)...i wonder what the anger stems from..."
Uh, Dr. Campbell, injecting religiosity into a political argument is not rational either. My religious faith, or lack of it, has no place in a debate about health care, jobs, the bankrupt Bush administration, etc.
I don't need Jesus in my heart to rationally consider the candidates, thank you!

If God is either merciful or just, you'll be on a plane back to Alaska on the fifth of November, without all your new duds.

Ms. Sara Palin I am using one of your famous lines we will be blessed on Nov.4th with Obama as being our next President. So you can go back to Alaska and live in your $ 150,000 clothes.

All you people who think Palin is saying "God is on her side" are stupid and ignorant of her Christian beliefs. What she is saying, clearly, is that whoever wins in November will be God's will (and God does not always choose leaders for a nation because that is going to be a good thing). That is the same thing she said about praying that leaders would be doing God's will in Iraq, that was distorted by the liberal media to mean she was saying that "God wants us to be in Iraq." C'mon and stop pushing and believing all the spin. And maybe learn a bit more abou the Christian faith and beliefs.

AMERICA WILL GET WHAT SHE HAS REQUESTED!

ok , not any of us can really know for a fact WHAT GODS WILL is on this nation ,you must remember thee are TWO wills, one a permissive will and a devine, holy will. sometimes he allows '' THINGS '' to happen , we only hurt ourselves, a hard lesson but none the less its all part of his perfect will in comming together at the final hour for this great nation . i am a christian, i to am a republican, i cannot say on tue. nov. 4 whoever wins if its REALLY GODS devine and holy WILL ON AMERICA . only time will tell down the road, one last thing god WILL judge this nation. i can only choose the republican ticket because they line up closest to GODS WORD FRED ,N.C.

Amazing. Its not a question of Palin, Obama or McCain. The real question is that all you lunatics actually believe there is a spooky man up in the sky that has anything to do with anything. When are you people going to grow up and face life for what it is without using religion as a crutch for everything? Why be re-born when you can just grow up and face reality. Sad!

God is in no way spooky. He gave his son, Jesus, so that we might be saved. However, her also gave us free will to choose to believe in him or not. I believe as Sara Palin believes. The fate of this world is in God's hands. He has instructed us in the Bible that because so many people in this world will not listen to his guidance and the consequences will be great. However, those who love the Lord know that he will be with us through whatever comes and we will be okay. God will prevail in the end!
