They have the courage, wisdom and tenacity to follow thru with their promises. What of this hatred and racism that is supposedly coming from the Republican candidates? I have listened to speeches looked at websites and watched programs on TV. I have NEVER heard any of it myself from McCain or Palin. I agree with McCain in his stand on bipartisanism. It should really be more about who stands for what you believe is right and their ability to make things happen than what party they represent. When looking at the facts I do not understand how anyone could stand behind Obama and his ever wavering stances. He is not the type of candidate I would vote for due to his lack of character and strength. Even Biden doesn’t fully stand behind him. How is going to “change” Washington to the public serving office he suggests when the only thing that CHANGES his story every time he speaks to the crowd. I find it rather ironic how often it is overlooked. What truly scares me is that Obama could actually get voted into office. One thing can be for certain however. He is not the sincere man of character and strength that McCain is – Obama in office would be nothing more than a puppet on lobbyist strings. Sorry, Obama supports there goes your hope of “change”. But don’t worry there still time – educate yourself.

Here is why Obama is bad news and why he has no idea what he is talking about

A few points to remember and consider: You
> can verify the tax information at
> http://money.cnn.com/news/specials/election/2008/index..html,
> if you’d like.
>
> (INTERESTING DATA JUST RECEIVED ON TAXES
> & PROPOSED CHANGES IN TAXES AFTER 2008 GENERAL
> ELECTION.)
> Time to consider your pocketbook:
>
> CAPITAL GAINS TAX
>
> MCCAIN:
> 0% on home sales up to $500,000 per home
> (couples). McCain does not propose any change in existing
> home sales income tax.
>
> OBAMA:
> 28% on profit from ALL home sales
>
> How does this affect you?
> If you sell your home and make a profit, you
> will pay 28% of your gain on taxes. If you are heading
> toward retirement and would like to down-size your home or
> move into a retirement community, 28% of the money you make
> from your home will go to taxes. This proposal will
> adversely affect the elderly who are counting on the income
> from their homes as part of their retirement income.
>
> DIVIDEND TAX
> MCCAIN : 15% (no change)
>
> OBAMA : 39.6%
>
> How will this affect you?
> If you have any money invested in stock
> market, IRA, mutual funds, college funds, life insurance,
> retirement accounts, or anything that pays or reinvests
> dividends, you will now be paying nearly 40% of the money
> earned on taxes if Obama becomes president. The experts
> predict that ‘Higher tax rates on dividends and capital
> gains would crash the stock market, yet do absolutely
> nothing to cut the deficit.’
>
> INCOME TAX (find your bracket)
> MCCAIN (no changes)
>
> Single making 30K – tax $4,500
> Single making 50K – tax $12,500
> Single making 75K – tax $18,750
> Married making 60K- tax $9,000
> Married making 75K – tax $18,750
> Married making 125K – tax $31,250
>
> OBAMA (reverse all tax cuts)
>
> Single making 30K – tax $8,400
> Single making 50K – tax $14,000
> Single making 75K – tax $23,250
> Married making 60K – tax $16,800
> Married making 75K – tax $21,000
> Married making 125K – tax $38,750
>
> Under Obama, your taxes will more than

>
> INHERITANCE TAX
>
> MCCAIN 0% (No change, Bush repealed

>
> OBAMA Restore the inheritance
> tax
>
> How does this affect you?
>
> Many families have lost businesses, farms,

>
> NEW TAXES BEING PROPOSED BY OBAMA
>
> New government taxes proposed on homes that

>
> New gasoline taxes (as if gas weren’t

>
> New taxes to pay for socialized medicine so

And if you are racist and switch to Mccain because of the excuse that you don’t think Barrak is qualified and rather vote republican and keep our soldiers dying verses having a chance of ending this war, lowering these gas prices that the greedy Bush has imposed, you are a sad sad case.All i can do is pray for you because you are behind in time, essence, and spirit.

She’s wasting time and she knows it. If she continues this and let’s McCain gain his momentum then when we lose in November to McCain regardless if it is Hillary or Obama I will blame Hillary because of her lack of consideration to the party and the people…

John Edwards staff is taking the calls and tracking the voters choice~

It is a quick 2 minute phone call, or a fax. When they answer the phone, you just advise them that you would like John Edwards to support Barack Obama and what state you are calling from. That is it…. make the quick call and pass the word~

Phone: (919) 636-3131
Fax: (919) 967-3644

Hillary Clinton always seemed to be a great candidate also, but with the negative campaign tactics that we have seen these past few days, it shows her “politics as usual” style. DON’T WE WANT A CHANGE ????

If you go to http://en.wikipedia.org / wiki / Antoin_Rezko you will see that it states he was one of Clinton’s contributors. When Hillary was asked about the picture of the Clinton’s arm and arm with Rezko she answered something to the affect,” I have taken so many pictures I don’t know who is who. I probably wouldn’t recognize him.” I’m sorry but either that was a cop out or a major SENIOR MOMENT. Then the discussion was dropped. That is a discussion that needs to go on as well as her TAXES. As a concerned democrat all I see her doing is prolonging the inevitable. She can’t win by delegates. Even if she wins all the rest of the states by 60/45 she still falls behind Obama in delegates. She is hurting our party more than helping. If anything she might as well be a Republican because she is doing all their work for them. We need to concentrate on one thing now and that is getting ready for McCain . McCain is out there getting ready while Hillary has her,”forget the party, it’s all about me, me, me” attitude. She’s wasting time and she knows it. If she continues this and let’s McCain gain his momentum then when we lose in November to McCain regardless if it is Hillary or Obama I will blame Hillary because of her lack of consideration to the party and the people. We need to devote all our focus on McCain now and if Hillary is for the people then she will rally with Obama and defeat McCain with all the Democratic might. Isn’t that the name of the game. Be a team player now Hillary. You know Barack agrees with alot of things you agree with so what are you doing to the party except harming it. Once again, if we lose in November because of your insistance to not bow out gracefully it will be YOUR FAULT. Don’t go out that way.

When I was a kid, my country was still under the impression of Allied occupation after WW2 – there was a strong pro-American sentiment all around, and during the cold war and the troubles that followed after the fall of the Iron Curtain, many here looked to America as a beacon of hope, liberty, sensibility and, first and foremost, freedom.

After the Clinton administration, those feelings changed into disappointment, rejection and even pity, for the president your country had for the last years didn’t show any of the qualities we admired about America. Somehow, I’m even a bit grateful for him, because his politics taught us that, no, we won’t always have a smart big brother around, so we better get our shit together and turn this continent around. Nonetheless, concerns were voiced that the United States might fall into a dark age.

With Barack Obama, for the first time in years I see a real possibility that this might be turned around, that America might be restored to the greatness it once had, and that your country, and the world, might actually become a better place in the following years and decades. He shows both a good heart and a great mind, characteristics rarely found in modern politics, if ever.

So, please, when you go vote, think of all us strange foreigners around the globe who are rooting for you, and think of your country and where you want it to go.

Sincerely,
an old European

My name is Travis and I am a student at Stanford University. Because I believe Barack is the best candidate with the potential to revolutionize politics, I created a website – http://www.digobama.com – so people like you can submit your favorite articles, videos and podcasts about Barack and vote on them. This site is extremely new (created Monday, February 13th) and is ready to gain momentum in spreading Barack’s message. With your help, this website can play an important role in helping Barack become the clear People’s Choice as the next President. Thank you and Yes We Can make a difference!!!

Also, since we’re on the topic of global warming, with there being an estimated 10-12 million illegal immigrants in this country, (I’m sure that number is a lot higher), do you realize that is that many more automobiles poluting our air? And I don’t know if you have noticed or not, but the average illegal immigrant doesn’t drive a brand new Cadilac. Just food for thought. Go Obama! Power to the Muslim President. Power to amnesty. Power to same sex marriages! Power to higher taxes to pay for our “free” health care! Power to being voted the most liberal in Congress!
