Some further information gathering- I wonder if some of the posters here are aware of this information

Question: What is America’s first line of missile interceptor defense that protects the entire United States?

Answer: 49th Missile Defense Battalion of Alaska National Guard.

Question: What is the ONLY National Guard unit on permanent active duty?

Answer: 49th Missile Defense Battalion of Alaska National Guard

Question: Who is the Commander in Chief of the 49th Missile Defense Battalion of Alaska National Guard?

Answer: Governor Sarah Palin, Alaska

Question: What U.S. governor is routinely briefed on highly classified military issues, homeland security, and
counter terrorism?

Answer: Governor Sarah Palin, Alaska

Question: What U.S. governor has a higher classified security rating than either candidate of the Democrat Party?

Answer: Governor Sarah Palin, Alaska

According to the Washington Post, she first met with McCain in February, but nobody ever found out. This is a woman used to keeping secrets. She can be entrusted with our national security, because she already is.

Now you know too, please, pass it on!

Is Oprah Winfrey ALL about the “enpowerment of WOMEN”? Isn’t she all about issues surrounding ALL women? Well, that said my question is this. Hilary Clinton was running for President the same time that Barack Obama was… What do you suppose made her toss her support behind Barack Huessein Obama? Yea, that’s what I thought too.

I wonder if one went back and did some research, if one wouldn’t find that much of the campaign contributions came from this very wealthy woman? And, is it just me, or is Obama being associated a whole lot with MONEY, and those whom HAVE IT? “spreading the wealth” seems to be exempt from the Obama campaign. I don’t like celebrities whom endorse ANY presidential candidates. I know some will acuse me of “racism”.. but I don’t like Madonna either, so this completely confuses me on exactly what I should be “labeled”?

Vote just Vote. It is not what other
people tell you that is negative that
effects my vote.I look at them like they
must be crazy to think i believe them. They take out of context works closely with and it really is he sat next to a
person…pleeeaaase

annonymous complained that an event in their town that Palin was at cost $30,000. Thats extreme but have they paid attention to what it costs to go to an Obama event? Not to mention that Obama has raised something like $458 million dollars for advertising! That is Insane!! I think he would have done better advertising using that money to build some homes that were destroyed by hurricanes than the nasty smear ads he has been wasting all that money on. Imagine the positive advertising building as many homes as 458 million could build. People wouldnt stop talking about that and it would definitely give him the best advertisment. But Obama isnt really about the average American people. He is about saying and doing and spending..whatever it takes to get him in the White house.

Everyone wants to accuse Obama of palling around with terriorist, but what about McCain’s tie with known domestic terrorist Gordon Liddy? Who is unrepentant of his crimes and has also contributed to McCain’s campaign.

McCain is a hypocrite and he is deperate to say and do anything to win his way into the White House.

To Chicks for McCain/Palin: THANK YOU FOR SAYING WHAT SO MANY OF US HAVE BEEN FEELING AND SAYING ALL THIS TIME!!! I’ll tell you the insane degree to which this ‘racist’ bs has gone - a 12 yr. old girl in FL. was wearing a t-shirt to school that read, ‘Go, Sarah, Go.’Her classmates (wonder where they learned this from), were getting on her case, complaining that she was being ‘RACIST’!!So, I guess all the black people I see wearing obama t-shirts are also racist, right? The world has officially gone insane…

OBAMA/BIDEN 08!

I am soooo tired of hearing about how Obama is going to bring “change.” If you want change you are definitely going to get it. AND it’s NOT going to be the type of change you want!!! He does not have any of the experience needed to run our country in a time like this.

Vote for a man NOT because the color of his skin, or because hollywood tells you to, but because of what they are going to do for our country. It’s amusing to me that white people are always being labeled racist, when none of us are saying that Obama shouldn’t be president because he is black. The most racist people on here are the black people for continuing to bring that nonsense up. Just because somebody doesn’t feel that Obama is qualified to run this country, doesn’t mean they are racist. It has NOTHING to do with being black, or white. In fact Obama is BOTH, so when he stated in his own words that he is not proud of his mothers race is crazy. What makes one race better than another?? Nothing!!!!

Get past the color, and vote for what is right!!!!!

GO MCCAIN AND PALIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And NO I’m not racist, he’s just more qualified!!!!

On Thursday, a senior law enforcement official told The Associated Press that the FBI is investigating whether the organization helped foster voter registration fraud.

The law enforcement official said the agency was looking at results of local inquiries in several states, including a raid on ACORN’s office in Las Vegas, for any evidence of a coordinated national effort — something Republicans have been clamoring for in the past few days. The official spoke on condition of anonymity because Justice Department regulations forbid discussing ongoing investigations, particularly so close to an election.

An ACORN spokesman said the group has not been notified that it is being investigated.

McCain, in Wednesday night’s debate, also sought to tie Obama to ACORN, saying he gave $832,000 to an ACORN “front outfit organization.”

During this year’s primary Obama’s campaign hired a firm with ties to ACORN, for a get-out-the-vote effort. During Wednesday’s debate, Obama said ACORN’s latest registration drive “had nothing to do with us. We were not involved.”

In addition, Obama and other lawyers in 1995 successfully represented ACORN in a lawsuit against the state of Illinois to gain implementation of the so-called “motor-voter” law, which made voter registration easier.

To McC/P 08. You’re welcome. I thought posting facts that I am finding on the internet was better than attacking folks who are voicing their opinions. I found more interesting facts on another post board on this site. Pasting below.

To Jill, who unfortunately unlike me, feels the need to personally attack those who do not share your opinion. Just another fact- I do not have too much time on my hands. I happen to work a full time job which has me for the past several months, commuting on the road for the working week. I use my time when back in the hotel, studying the candidates so I can make an informed decision on which candidate to vote for. I happened by this site by accident when I was busy working with the tv turned on to extra. This copy/pasted post from another board may also interest you.

The pasted post (thank you to Anonymous for a very well-written post on Joe the Plumber)
As you will be hearing or have heard Joe the Plumber on TV said what if Obama wants to tax say $l50,000 instead of $250,000 down the line for businesses. Joe does not think that it is fair to do that when you work hard to build up a business. You just don’t know if Obama would lower the amount.
What about Obama being friends with a preacher for twenty years who preaches hatred of Americans and he god damns America. And the preacher thinks all the white people in government have invented aids and are trying to kill all the black people in the country. Now you not only have a preacher who hates America but is crazy. And you mean to tell me that Obama and his wife never heard any of this for twenty years while attending this church. Unbelievable isn’t it. And Obama ‘s wife who said for the first time in her life she is proud of America. I have been proud of America many times over. Gee and how about Obama meets Ayers, the terorist, and does not know that he bombed the Pentagon in the 1970’s. And that Obama works on the same board as Ayers even though he could have picked another board out of hundreds of boards to run out of. Then Tony Rezco who owned the land and sold it to the Obamas who now live on it and saved them $300,000 happens to be convicted this year of several counts of fraud and bribery. And Obama’s mentor is Frank Marshall Davis, a communist well known back in the 1960’s and he hates capitalism. How can Obama know all these people and associate with them and that he doesn’t know what they stand for. He tries to act so innocent. Don’t let Obama fool you with his sweet talking promises. How can any one of us know this and still want a person like this in office. I want good people like McCain and Sarah Palin.
God bless America.

Dear KATHY: I just wanted to thank you for your factual and informative ‘cutting thru the BS’ post. I copied it and sent it to everyone I know who is still, inexplicably, undecided. I’m actually getting ‘thank you note’ e-mails!

michelle and oprah i would love to see the both of them to do dwts

This is what I come back to? I thought I would get a little entertainment, some laughs etc. But no I read hateful,inconsiderate for one another remarks. Just vote for who you want, it does not have to be a B——slapping contest. To think I am fighting for protection of this country! I hope you guys are proud of yourselves! This soldier will be going back and letting the rest in on how spiteful, angery, hateful that everyone is being over a election. Just vote for who you want. Stop eating each other alive for who they want to vote for. This is a free country you can do as you please. Not everyone is going to be happy with who is put in office but the fact is we have to make the best of it and hope for the best.

Kathy,
You are not only an idiot, but you have way too much free time on your hands. There’s a possibility that you are racist too, because I dont know how any registered democrat that didn’t vote for Bush could possibly think that voting for McCain will bring about some change. And oh by the way Kay- Obama probably doesnt hate white people seeing as white people raised him…his own family… Get a clue everybody….

ARE OPRAH AND HER BEST FRIEND GALYE LESBIAN LOVERS. IT SEEM KIND OF SUPICIOUS THAT IT,S ALWAY,S HOW IN THE PAST SHE IS ALWAY,S TALKING HER BEST FRIEND GALYE.

Anonymous… that’s just politics & fund raising. Barack has those events as well… oh but maybe not so much since Oprah is funding his campaign (& perhaps Madonna too). McCain/Palin are stumping just as every other politician (including Obama) does.

Palin visited my city not too long ago. If a person wanted to attend the event, take a photo and talk to our Alaskan beauty queen it would cost them in the area of $30,000 dollars. I find that DISGUSTING especially in these times. I wonder where Joe six pack and the soccer moms were that night.

Oh, by the way… I am a registered Democat and did not vote for Bush. Either of them….But I WILL be voting for McCain. I will do so confidently and knowing that based on his record, I won’t get more of the same. We may finally have a leader who isn’t afraid to go against the tide.

McCain shows passion for the country, while Obama is aloof and condescending. Obama is certainly a good orator. McCain can (& HAS) walked the talk though.

Additionally there are fundamental discrepancies in the dollars that Obama is preaching he will be saving the American people. I do not want him managing and spreading my money around.

What else would you expect though when your staunchest supporters are celebrities who don’t have to worry how they will live paycheck to paycheck, or how their children will receive quality care (most of them have nannies- plural- who take care of their children), or how they will afford healthcare (nosejob or botox anyone? Hell, many families can’t even afford to take their sick child to a doctor!)

OBAMA: Said that if families get a $5,000 tax credit for buying health insurance and the insurance then costs $12,000, that’s a loss for them.
THE FACTS: The tax credit offered by McCain is more generous for the vast majority of people than the current tax break, which they would lose, according to the Tax Policy Center. Now, people don’t pay taxes on the health benefits they get from work. Obama’s statement gives the impression that $5,000 is all that workers will be getting to help them pay for a health plan, but that’s just what the federal government will provide. Economists say most employers would still contribute to their workers’ health insurance. The Lewin Group, a health care consulting firm, found that by taxing health benefits but providing a tax credit, the average family would come out $1,411 ahead.
**********
OBAMA: “Every dollar that I’ve proposed, I’ve proposed an additional cut, so that it matches.”
THE FACTS: The bipartisan Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget estimates that his programs would add $281 billion to the deficit at the end of his first term. The analysis includes Obama’s proposals for saving money.
**********
OBAMA: “One hundred percent, John, of your ads — 100 percent of them — have been negative.”
THE FACTS: The statement is true when it comes to McCain’s current commercial spots. But by saying McCain’s ads “have been” 100 percent negative, Obama ventures into misleading territory. McCain is currently running all negative ads, according to a study by the University of Wisconsin-Madison. But he has run a number of positive ads during the campaign.
**********
OBAMA: “I want to provide a tax cut for 95 percent of working Americans, 95 percent.”
THE FACTS: Obama constantly says this. But the independent Tax Policy Center says his plan cuts taxes for 81.3 percent of all households in 2009
**********
OBAMA: Said he would be “completely supportive” of late-term abortion restrictions “as long as there’s an exception for the mother’s health and life.”
THE FACTS: Obama leaves himself a lot of latitude in this answer. A woman’s “health” has been so broadly interpreted that it can include conditions, including psychological conditions, that are difficult to diagnose or prove. Anti-abortion advocates say that makes the ban meaningless, because it leaves too much subjective judgment in the equation
**********
OBAMA: “We can cut the average family’s premium by $2,500 a year.”
THE FACTS: If that sounds like a straight-ahead promise to lower health insurance premiums, it isn’t. Obama hopes that by spending $50 billion over five years on electronic medical records and by improving access to proven disease management programs, among other steps, consumers will end up saving money. He uses an optimistic analysis to suggested cost reductions in national health care spending could amount to the equivalent of $2,500 for a family of four. Many economists are skeptical those savings can be achieved, but even if they are, it’s not a certainty that every dollar would be passed on to consumers in the form of lower premiums.
