Todd: Hispanics could put Obama over the top

Agreed but them high priced Journalists have to write something to get paid.

The issue is not over Sarah Palin being a woman....had Mr. McCain selected someone of Ms. Clinton caliber,( or Madeline Albreight)...there would be no objections.

The objection is, Ms. Palin comes with strings....and should she become President, Mr. Karl Rove, Mr. Rick Davis, and their ilk will be right there to pull them, because she is corruptable....look at the charges brought against her in her home state by the Alaska Supreme Court.

Are you aware that McCain believes in Abortion in case of incest, rape and if the mother's life is in danger he said so himself on the View look up the show on You tube and see it for your  self.

Obama said that exact same thing so when it comes to that women's issues they are the same.

I guess it would be alright with you if women started using wire hangers to abort right? the Church need to give them a choice teach them about Birth Controls that is a sure way to save Babies.

No Linda they are not the same on this issue.  They may be the same on this one facet of the issue, but overall their viewpoints are very different.

One difference from McCain is... Obama fought to stop legislation in Illinois that would have required medical aid be given to babies that survived late term abortions.   They were left to die in dirty linen closets or where ever as a result of Obama and those like him that don't even seen an alive baby as something worthy of life.

Jim not true
There was a law on the book that already protect the baby as a matter of fact there were Medical Doctors who did not want to go against their Oath and other Republicans who signed this bill as well because they knew that  a law already existed to protect the baby. Go to fact check or Google it you will get the right information. Besides didn't you see the last debate Obama Cleared it up completely.

That lie has been around since he was running for the senate against Alan Keys and it has mold all over it get something new. If I were the moderator I would delete that comment unless I could convince myself that you were the only living individual in the US who did not get the message.

Not true Linda.... Obama did not clear it up.... He voted 3 times to kill bills that would have required medical aid to babies that survived late term abortions and now wants to try and smooth that over.  If there was already a law on the books that protected those babies then there would have been no harm in him voting for the bills and nurses would not have given evidence before Congress that babies that survived abortions were simply not given aid and died as a result.

Ok Jim there is a law on the books that protect those babies already and besides that law the Doctors are bound by their Oath so to say that this could be done is not true. The reason he voted against this law is because you can not have more then one law to use as precedence in a case and Obama being a Constitutional Lawyer knows that. But your leaving out that other Republicans voted agaist  this law also and so did Doctors. Go check it out.

There is nothing that says you cannot have laws that overlap or multilple laws  covering the same issue.  There are tons of them.  OBAMA said at the time.... that he voted against it because he feared it would weaken Roe vs Wade.  At the time he did not use ANY other excuse for what he did.   Everything said now is just smoke screen to try and cover up what he did.

GMAN you forgot the pool!

No Gman I want to learn English,since I already speak spanish so I'm bilingual. I want to have you clean my pool, I want to send my children to college and have them achieve what yours might not. And I will vote Republican because the Democrats smile at my face and then go wash their hands and think they are better than me. In short I want to strive and proper, maybe i'll let you mow my lawn.

Fact check: Obama said he would 'spread his wealth around'?

Posted: 08:47 AM ET

Wha.' And you know what Senator Obama had to say to Joe? He wanted to spread his wealth around. He wanted to spread his wealth around."

Fact Check

Obama will not say what size business (number of employees) that he will REQUIRE them to offer medical coverage for employees and their families.  Even with a 50% tax credit (that is not all new... medical coverage is partially deductible already) the business has to come up with the other 50% which increases costs tremendously.  While some businesses can afford it, others will go under leaving people unemployed.  It took me several years to build a business before I was not the least paid of all the employees.  I worked longer hours, risked my home and put everything on the line to open go into business for myself.  Employees could leave anytime they wanted, I couldn't.  Most employees would NEVER work the hours or take the economic risks I took to own a business.  Obama talks about things in general he does not give specifics.  He is like every other Democrat through the years... I won't tax you I will tax the other fella and give you his money.  Sooner or later your the other fella because the big money will have left the country and opened businesses in other countries.  Money seeks the best business environment.  Which is why Ireland is booming with industry locating there while our corporations are moving out of the country.  We have the second highest corporation taxes in the world.  The corporations just pass that on to consumers when ever possible.  However, if they are competing on the world market for customers it makes their products more expensive and they either move or go broke.  So when Obama says he will increase taxes on businesses and the wealthy... wave bye bye at them when they move your jobs somewhere else and just be satisfied that if they had stayed..... Obama would have taxed them more.

Support Small Business

• Provide Tax Relief for Small Businesses and Start Up Companies: Barack Obama and Joe Biden will eliminate all capital gains taxes on start-up and small businesses to encourage innovation and job creation. Obama and Biden will also support small business owners by providing a $500 “Making Work Pay” tax credit to almost every worker in America. Self-employed small business owners pay both the employee and the employer side of the payroll tax, and this measure will reduce the burdens of this double taxation.
• Create a National Network of Public-Private Business Incubators: Barack Obama and Joe Biden will support entrepreneurship and spur job growth by creating a national network of public-private business incubators. Business incubators facilitate the critical work of entrepreneurs in creating start-up companies. Obama and Biden will invest $250 million per year to increase the number and size of incubators in disadvantaged communities throughout the country.

Labor

Obama and Biden will strengthen the ability of workers to organize unions. He will fight for passage of the Employee Free Choice Act. Obama and Biden will ensure that his labor appointees support workers' rights and will work to ban the permanent replacement of striking workers. Obama and Biden will also increase the minimum wage and index it to inflation to ensure it rises every year.

• Ensure Freedom to Unionize: Obama and Biden believe that workers should have the freedom to choose whether to join a union without harassment or intimidation from their employers. Obama cosponsored and is strong advocate for the Employee Free Choice Act, a bipartisan effort to assure that workers can exercise their right to organize. He will continue to fight for EFCA's passage and sign it into law.
• Fight Attacks on Workers' Right to Organize: Obama has fought the Bush National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) efforts to strip workers of their right to organize. He is a cosponsor of legislation to overturn the NLRB's "Kentucky River" decisions classifying hundreds of thousands of nurses, construction, and professional workers as "supervisors" who are not protected by federal labor laws.
• Protect Striking Workers: Obama and Biden support the right of workers to bargain collectively and strike if necessary. They will work to ban the permanent replacement of striking workers, so workers can stand up for themselves without worrying about losing their livelihoods.
• Raise the Minimum Wage: Barack Obama and Joe Biden will raise the minimum wage, index it to inflation and increase the Earned Income Tax Credit to make sure that full-time workers earn a living wage that allows them to raise their families and pay for basic needs.

Ok, this email forward has been all over the place JH, and isn't new today. Is it supposed to be funny or just some sort of conservative statement? You might want to learn more about Obama's tax platform before looking so silly.

This one is getting moldy also do you guys all cut and paste from the same web site.

yes the website that we read to figure out what obama stands for, why and what he plans to do.  Its been up for months.  While McC/P has been spreading their fear, Obama has been talking about the issues.

I don't agree with it all, but I do most.  And I like that I know what he stands for from one day to the next.

McCain was against the Bush tax cuts, before he was for them

Who knows what McCain will be for next week, but who can blame him when his economic advisor wrote the legislation that turned wall street into a craps table.

That police officer in Alaska should be fired.  Would you want a police officer on your local department that would use his stun gun on his ten year old child? 

Jim Palin was accused of Abuse of Power and found guilty of such. She totally broke the trust of the People the voters who put her in office. It does not matter what the officer did Palin did not have Jurisdiction over him or the office of Law Enforcement. She committed Abuse of Power by using a Government Office for a personal vendetta. Palin May now be sued by the Officer or The official she fired for Abuse of Power in a Civil court and all of her e-mails including the ones she is hiding 1,200 will be use against her.

It was said that Palin abused her position but that she did have other reasons for firing the man she fired and that she had the right to fire him as well.  The police officer she wanted fired, threatened her family and even stun gunned his own child.  That police officer should have been fired and his boss was crazy to not fire him.  Do you think that police officer should still be in his position?  I don't.

Palin was accused of interferring with the firing of Monegan, not Wooten. Wooten had already been reprimanded, reassigned, and suspended.

Again from a legal point of view it was not her call Palin had not right to take the case on her self that went to the Enforcement Government Agencies. The branches of government were put in place to protect the Citizen and Palin went against that, she let her husband in areas that were meant for Government Personal Only and she took it upon herself to be Judge and Jury of this Officer that is illegal and unethical too.

As for the Police Officer that was the Job of the Internal Affairs and Law Enforcement to handle not Palin is not her Jurisdiction.

Yea the Manana la migra will come after illegals if McCain has his way mijo.

Votare Obama porque el si sabe lo que es trabajar!

Obama has already said he wants to give illegals a drivers license.  He will give them amnesty.

Jim they should have licenses it will be one more way to at least have some paper on who is in our Country. You should know by now that in order to get a licence you have to produce a 3 point system of Id giving a license is not Amnesty is a form of ID.

With a picture drivers license they can vote in every state too Linda.. I think that is what both Obama and you are after.  If you are in this country illegally you should not be entitled to even one benefit. 

Its amazing that people forget that the only non immigrants are native americans, and depending on what the time scale you look at, mexicans.

It doesn't matter we are all americans.  And we grew to be great on the backs of all immigrants and all immigrants were hated for a time.

Linda 777 my does and we have between 30-45 employees. Any questions?

So what Jim some of those people are dying for you in the war right now. Why don't you ask some of the Hispanic  mothers who are suffering right now who have lost their sons and daughter in this war.

REMEMBER ONE THING WHEN YOU GO TO THE EMERGENCY ROOM AND YOU

NEED BLOOD THE COLOR IS RED NO MATTER WHO GIVES IT.

WHEN YOUR ARE DEAD AND BURIED YOU CAN'T CHOSE YOUR NEIGHBOR.

FINALLY WHEN GOD LOOKS AT YOU HE IS ONLY CONCERN WITH YOUR

HEART NOT THE COLOR OF YOUR SKIN.

By Linda7777

jh, please explain how Obama is going to "punish small businesses and ..." Just a few years ago, McCain felt Bush's tax plan unfair because it hut the middle class and benefitted the wealthy. Now that McCain has changed his position and  Obama is saying the same thing, Obama  is a "socialist". Obama is not trying to punish anyone except maybe those who hire overseas rather than within the U.S.

Do your home work Jh

Small bussines will get a brake for every person they higher and they will also get a brake on health Insurance. So looking at that fact tax hike is a non-issue

Tell me how many small Business do you know make $250,000 Gross?

Well said.

What is so dumb about this is Reagan had to be a socialit right. Because the 3% tax reversion was set by Reagan at 39%. It is now 36%. It expires in 2010. After it expires the top will go back to paying 39% again. These same dollars are then going to the other 95% of Americans that pay taxes. This red herring is just because if they talk about the economy they lose.

On this tax break LOL the bottom 5% got 820 bucks in ten years it was in effect. The top 5% got 297000 bucks in ten years sound fair?

Linda it is clear you have never owned a business and have no idea about their taxes or income.  You have no idea about employment taxes or the cost of benefit plans for employees.  There is already a deduction for insurance but a business is not required to offer it like Obama is going to require.  A 50% tax credit means the business still has to come up with the other 50% to pay for the coverage and older workers will cost the most thus making businesses want to get rid of their older workers.  Things are never as simple as Obama makes them look.  Politician are all good at showing you the icing on the cake but not the mold inside the cake.  It looks great but its just not edible sometime when you slice it and take a closer look.

Most of the people I know who have small business don't hire full time workers not even Walmart hires full time the majority of their workers are part time. In case you have forgotten workers also pay part of their health Insurance today so that 50% number you give does not exist. The icing on the cake come from McCain who is still giving the big corporations and oil companies as well as Wall Street billions in tax brakes. Its time for the Middle who have been carrying the tax burden for 8 years now to reap the benefits and for Big Corporations and Wall Street to pay its fair share.

Two hispanic fourth graders in class today got into a fist fight over the argument their parents are having about which sides of the family will be smuggled over first before Obama is elected. When the children were interviewed separately about why they were fighting, the little boys both said that when Obama's elected their cousins don't have to be on a waiting list and neither do their parents anymore and everyone will get to be american then.

12 million added to our Health Care and welfare system Americans, INSTANTLY, and that doesn't count the millions that are sneaking in now and will be in the next months to get on board the free band wagon. Now what do you think the Dangerous Huge Mexican Drug Cartel will do with their already exsisting Methamphetamine Centers stationed in our big cities? The Large and growing Deadly Mexican Gangs working for these Drug Cartel Centers?

Do you know what my 80 year old grandfather, who is a very kind, non racist retired hard working man, told me today after catching a bit of an Obama rally on tv for the first time? He said "I hate to say this, but do you know who Barack Obama looks like and sounds like to me? I remember those days, and he reminds me of Hitler". This is coming from a good hearted man with no bias or interest in this election. He doesn't watch tv regularly, he doesn't drink and he doesn't smoke. It shocked me that he would say such a thing, but I know he meant it from his heart, he just saw and was immediately reminded of days gone past in history.

Obama is using the same mind-emotion control of propoganda manipulation in his speeches and campaign ads that Hitler's entire momentum and structure was built on. The worst part is Obama is also planning to put into place the same government structure as well. Obama is Not a Good Thing Americans. He is what he is.

Latino business owners like any other intelligent business owners, will vote for Mccain, did you watch the news tonight? They are not all willing to be bullied into voting for obama

Biden is ranting at "one of his fellow reporters"??? Obama has frozen what station????

McCain linked to group in Iran-Contra case

Organization had ties to former Nazi collaborators, right-wing death squads

Retired U.S. Army Major General John Singlaub(front), speaks to reporters as then-Secretary of Defense William Cohen looks on in July 21, 1998. Singlaub founded the controversial U.S. Council for World Freedom, which was dedicated to stamping out communism around the globe. Singlaub says McCain became associated with the organization in the early 1980s

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/27062761

Linda,,, Obama and Bill Ayers... Ok... Ayers group killed Americans here in this country... He started his political career at Ayers house, he served on boards with him, he gave seminars with him, he endorsed his book.... isn't that worth some consideration? 

Yea and your point is? he has nothing to do with Obama would you like to see some of McCain's other friends ?  by the way these friends are still working with McCain in his camp.

Charlie Black - Associated with Jesse Helms and well known KKK member and also head of the McCain camp  Charlie Black was involved in a Defense Contract scandals they gave lots of money to the McCain Camp also, and he just happens to be the head Lobbyist for Freddie and Fannie

Rick - Head Lobbyist for Fannie Mae he was still on the payroll till September 2008 his job was to keep McCain available for deregulation of Fannie Mae and Freddi and for that he got $15,000 a month.

Gram - Who along with McCain Deregulated everything under the sun Bank, Insurance co., Wall Street and so on this cause the problems we have now that the Tax payers will have to pay for in the future.

Tom your Cuban? where in Cuba were you born?

Not all Hispanics are named Jose. Some of us actually can speak and write English too. Texas is full of Hispanics who had ancestors who fought in the Alamo on the Texas side so we have been in the USA far longer than most of those who post here.

Re read it Linda.  "Non-Cuban Hispanic".

Democrats are often the party that rewards those who do not work as hard.

You drank the cool aide That is utter nonsense. Republicans view hispanics as lazy good for nothing welfare seeking people. Go listen to lou dobbs for a minute a republican.

Linda.. ask Obama to prove where he was born.  He won't.  Linda.. read what Tom said... he said he is NON-Cuban.... I salute you Tom.

Now who is drinking Kool-Aid?  Which Republican are you referring to that has stated that Hispanics are lazy?  Just because someone is against illegal immigration does not mean that they consider Hispanics to be lazy?  If anything I have heard nothing but how hard Hispanics work.  The only complaint is about those that care jumping ahead of those who are trying to come into this country legally.

How's your job on the McCain campaign Tom?

How is you lack of research on Obama going?  How is your lack of knowledge on how taxes on the rich affect the rest of us.  How is ignoring Obama's "spread the wealth" and "economic rights" comments working out for you? 

Born in the U.S.A.

The truth about Obama's birth certificate.
Summary
In June, the Obama campaign released a digitally scanned image of his birth certificate to quell speculative charges that he might not be a natural-born citizen. But the image prompted more blog-based skepticism about the document's authenticity. And recently, author Jerome Corsi, whose book attacks Obama, said in a TV interview that the birth certificate the campaign has is "fake."

We beg to differ. FactCheck.org staffers have now seen, touched, examined and photographed the original birth certificate. We conclude that it meets all of the requirements from the State Department for proving U.S. citizenship. Claims that the document lacks a raised seal or a signature are false. We have posted high-resolution photographs of the document as "supporting documents" to this article. Our conclusion: Obama was born in the U.S.A. just as he has always said

The Governor of Hawaii has said no one may look at Obama's birth certificate.. so how did these folks do that.  Also as for the one on Obama's web site.... you never authenticate any document from examining any kind of copy.  I am not saying Obama is anything but an American.  I do find it strange his lawyers did not walk into that court room... give one to the judge and end the whole thing rather than file briefs etc. to keep from having to provide anything.  Obama won't even open his medical records even after his supporters claimed John McCain to be hiding something and he opened his medical records and supplied over 1500 pages of them.  Obama's first response to everything is to not disclose anything.  I find that troubling.  I guess because he is a lawyer and his wife is a lawyer they see everything in legalese.  The problem with our country now is there are too many lawyers everywhere and way too many in Congress.  I would say serving in Congress except they are serving themselves in Congress.  I don't like John McCain very much... I just like Obama even less.  I will say I do admire McCain for not taking any earmark money.  He has stuck by his guns on earmarks.

Tom.. I totally agree, theres a reason why there is a waiting list. How else can American keep up and continue to make the chnages it needs to provide for everyone wanting to become a citizen if it isn't done at a rate that's possible?

Not to mention this is to insure that they speak english, all immigrants coming in and becoming us citizens, that way the schools, emergency services and economic work structure remains useable and American and unnaffected by overload. The quality can remain high and grow higher in education when it's all one language in the schools.

We have to keep the American English language a priority in public use and operations, it's what all other countries do when they take in immigrants, it's the only way a country can remain productive. When you call 9-1-1 you have to understand that it is not possible or feasable to have different language centers, it doesn't work that way. Our schools also need to be able to retain high quality by keeping to the countries language.
After all, becoming a us citizen is because you LOVE and believe in The American dream and way of life, Not to USE IT and Destroy it.
America has never asked migrating legals to give up their heritage and we havce embraced many happily, and they respect and love being Americans in return.

Our waiting list, tests and language requirements are no different that all other countries for that very reason. We are in fact the most lenient.

Jim McCain won't release his Military Medical Record you mean Obama's Medical records were being read last week on CNN he has a Cholesterol of 173 LOL. Do your home work nene. Go to Factcheck.com a picture is there stop with the Smear Jim your better then that :)

McCain got very well paid by the Lobbyiest that is were he gets he money.

McCain's Advisers Lobby For Defense Contractors, Defense Contractors Give McCain Hundreds Of Thousands Of Dollars... And He Votes Against Investigating Waste, Fraud And Abuse In Defense Contracting

Jim, on Obama's birth certificate on his site? Thats not an official birth certificate, it is a Registration Of Birth. A legal document which anyone can file a petition to get with a few relatives signatures and it only says that you were Born, period.  I know a bit about these things. My daughter was born in Belgium, and she has a Certificate Of Birth Abroad as a US Citizen which I had to go to the US Ebassay to aqquire, and bring her hospital birth records with me for proof of where she was exactly born, in which town and which hospital.

The judge that got Obama out of this on a technicality (of course the same pattern following the ayers felony charges) will not be the last court to see this. You watch.

Linda..Please.. my God.

Obama's campaign has released one page of medical records.  His doctor says he is in good health.  He has NOT released his medical records.

WoW you know alot about Obama are you his butler? or the Nanny?

The Democrats have controlled Congress for most of the past 60 years at least.  I will agree the Republicans did a poor job during their 8 years too.  I compare the Republicans period of control with the Democrats period of control and lay most of our problems at the Democrats door.  However, I am not saying that had the Republicans been in control for the longer period that things would be better.  No one could know that.  Both are politicians and mostly lawyers.

Obama gives great speeches.  Makes great promises.  He has never delivered on anything.

Jim McCain is promising every thing under the sun just to get the job honey. McCain  will do nothing for anyone all he wants is one more shot at the gold ring before he dies. Four more years of Bush is not my idea of new policies. In with the New and out with the Old :)

Linda I am not saying that John McCain is a great choice.... All I am saying is I think he is a little better choice than Obama and that is not saying a lot.

How can anyone take Linda7777 seroiusly?? She {if in fact she is a she) does not even know McCain's first name....and she wants us to GET THE FACTS??

Jim I respect your choice if by now after all the information out there your happy with your man then I respect that. I don't know if your distaste of Obama is the Issues or just the Man and his skin. From my point of view McCain has shown to be too unstable and his pick of Palin is a clear testament to his Judgement. I will vote Obama in this Election I am neither Democrat or Republican I'm an Independent voter who will simply will vote Democrat in this Elections. But I do respect your views.

Thats the problem, none of Obama's plans are socialist, its sad they tried to break the issues to such nasty terms, but everything that obama wants to do McCain spoke up for in 2000.  Palin lives in a state where you get a check for living there.  And while she was govener she increased taxes on business and spread that wealth to the citizens who only got it for living in Alaska.

Pues mija vote por el viejo. Remember McCain and the republican are a good case for Socialist.

Any one who takes money form the tax payers to provide wealth and prosperity for Big Corporations and Banks is a Socialist and the Republican have been doing this for 8 years and McCain voted with them 90% of the time not only that but he was known as The King Of Deregulation on DC. So my dear Ivonne it looks like you have been living with a Socialist Government all the time :)

The two leaders that fought regulation of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac were Senator Chris (gimme a deal) Dodd and Representative Barney (do it again) Franks.  The top three recepients of money from those organizations were Senator Chris (gimme a deal) Dodd, Senator Barack H. Obama and Representative Barney (do it again) Franks.  Big corporations provide a lot of jobs to Americans.  General Motors, Ford, and on and on.... and you want to raise their taxes and expect them to stay in business competing on the world stage with some of the highest corporate taxes in the world.  Exxon etc. only make about 4% profit on a gallon of gas while the government makes over 16% on a gallon of gas.... and Exxon has to pay taxes on those profits... just who is making the most of gas... its not the oil companies.  By the way... don't forget that Obama says gas should stay up over $4.00 a gallon to encourage alternative energy.   He said taxing it more was a good way to keep the price up and give the government more money at the same time.   Tell me that the middle class won't pay more taxes again.

Give me a Guarantee that Middle Class won't shoulder the burden of taxes under Bush 44. I don't think so. You know what its time to Change Washington's dirty under ware and put on a fresh one for once. Republicans had their chance 8 years and McCain had 26 years there is no way I will believe that McCain will be nothing but a continuation of Bush. By the way I will be one of those paying more taxes and I don't mind because if I have been Bless others deserved to be Blessed also :)

Linda I want you to know it won't bother me that you will pay more taxes under Obama.  Bless you my child.

Awww Jim you really have a heart after all :)

I want you to know that  I am a cheerful giver ;)

Good Night Jim till we meet again.

Linda were are you from? obviously you have spend a lot of time reviewing Obama's policies please explain the amount of fines small business will have to pay for not having an "acceptable" health plan. Also please review what happen during the period before the Great Depression, some fool was president  and increased taxes , increased wellfare and bang we had the Depression instead of a reccesion. Linda you believe the man owns you something , well it does not. Go to the IRS site and look at the tax tables. Here what is mine is mine and nobody can come and say that I most give it away. A tax rate of 40-50% is excessive and success should not be punished.

No maybe is better to be hanging with Barney Frank and Al Franken: they are model citizens Wait who was that congressman- a  democrat who took some paige on trip and then got a standing ovation.? Please, they exist on both sides, if that is all the argument you have , your situation is indeed dire.

I can't get in the stall... Barney Franks is hogging it again.

Already voted for McCain.  A funny tid bit for you all, McCain was born in Panama.

Lets take that tid bit a little farther.  To a respect admiral, who many times in his life had to intervene on the spoiled childs behalf.

Blearc.. your dad was an Admiral?  I salute his service to the country.

Dam doug where do you live. My Father was a humble truck driver who work his way up the ladder before he bought the company. My mother was a nurse. My aunts all went to school and graduated College. My Nieces Graduated College and 3 of them are serving now my Nephews all went to college and are also serving now. I got a full scholarships and graduated with a double Major. My husband is a College grad  too. Guess what my kids went to college and they graduated also. We are all proud of our Spanish Heritage as well as our German one too.

I have worked with many fine Hispanics.  They were honest, hard working and good friends.

Wow doug, I would say you are in some serious need of more exposure to Hispanics.  Not all of us hang out at The Home Depot waiting to jump in the back of a truck.  Some of us are professionals, some of use own our own homes, some of us even have never been on welfare, and some of us have served in uniform in the defense of this (our) country.  Some of us are even Republican.  Educate yourself before you choke on the foot in your mouth.

When all is said and done one November 5th 2008 when Americans wake up they will be awakening to a new day in America and a new President.

President Obama2008 :) Because we are all Americans

If this country was not the best in the world for anyone to make a great life for themselves, so many people would not be trying to come here.  The biggest problem is too many that were born here don't realize the opportunities they have here and want the government to take care of their every need instead of working for it themselves.  All of those, so called, wonderful socialist countries that you think provide everything have a worse economy and higher unemployment than we do.  As bad as you may think things are... they are worse just about everywhere else.  I am thankful to have been blessed by God to have been born in the USA.  We are a long way from perfect and need to work on getting better... but we are pretty darn good right now.

Jim71129 there is no sense trying to get through to Linda7777 who is probably on Mr. Todd's staff of GET THE FACTS. You are absolutely correct, and it's too bad more people do not understand that. But that's okay, this is a special country, and everyone has a right to think what they want to think....even if it's going to sink the ship!

Wowwwwww  I am shaking Happy Halloween Kruger LOL

Obama 2008

No matter how bad things get under Obama it will be the fault of George Bush for the next 20 years.  Congress has had to vote for all the money and pass all the laws that people complain that Bush is responsible for.  As bad a Bush's popularity is... the popularity of Congress is much much lower.  We need to clean house in Congress if we want things to get better.

Jim we had a Republican Congress under Bush too that's how we got here. Its the man at the top that counts. Who knows we may actually see some work be done for once with out any Filer busting going on. Give Congress and Obama  a chance it will only be for 4 years :)

Okay... if it is the man at the top that counts.  Then if things go sour under Obama you will have to agree that he does not have an out or a pass if he is the man at the top.  It will be interesting to see but I bet ya that the media will not see it that way.  They blame anyone they are against for everything and don't blame who they support for anything.

Bye Jim gtg now :)

I'm hispanic and I'll vote for OBAMA once he gives me my papers.

HEY "CAMACS" - STOP THE B.S!

YOU ARE NO MEXICAN, AND YOU ARE NOT FOR OBAMA!!!

PLEASE, EVERYONE, JUST CLICK ON "camacs" NAME/LINK TO READ ALL HIS/HER PREVIOUS POSTINGS FOR McCAIN,

SUCH AS:

" McCain didn't work for ACORN, didn't organize for ACORN, didn"t pay ACORN $800,000 to go out and get votes, WAKE  UP!   "

YOU ARE TRYING TO BE DECEIVING, JUST LIKE YOUR MAN McCAIN.
PEOPLE LIKE YOU MAKE A MOCKERY OF A FORUM LIKE THIS - YOU SHOULD BE ASHAMED.

You are a McCain plant, trying to masquarade as a Mexican person, and trying to make Mexicans look as good-for-nothing, when in reality many Mexican-Americans are contributing to a better future for this Great Country.

TYPICAL BACKWARDS REPUBLICAN THINKING!

Now that is a cool reply -

FC7711.. .that is the most lame argument I have ever heard.  Should I be anti Hispanic just because I have seen a couple of them selling dope on one of my local street corners or read about them machine gunning police and innocent civilians in Mexico.  I don't think sooooooo.  There are nut cases and low lifes of every creed and color.  No ethic group has a monoply on or is responsible for the idiots among them.  I would probably be thought of as a redneck myself but I salute your service to this country and would gladly shake your father's hand.

FC I have to say I agree with Jim. I salute you, this isn't about being a legal citizen. Or being racist, I am not at all.
