Flourish: Looks like you've been watching too many of those Hollywood blockbusters.
The rest of the world wants America to be part of it, not isolated from it.
We are very excited that you guys might be able to make history with a young black president! Bush has been giving you guys a bad name and its not fair.
And rather a muslim sympathiser than a muslim hater. Xenophobia is a disaster for politics, as Bush and Al Quaeda have equally shown.
Don't let those radicals scaremonger you like this.
Hope you don't mind the different opinion, I just wanted to add an outsiders view...
HealthyLiving: Surely Don, if he doesn't send us to the death camps first!
Yup Barack sure has alot of ties to muslims.... I mean unlike Bush. I mean since Bush is a good ole american. His family may have ties to the Bin Ladens. I mean, they went to school together and often dine at each others homes (the Bush's and the Bin Ladens that is) but that's not important I mean it's not like the Bin Ladens were responsible for any terrorist activities right? I mean maybe Osama was but that shouldn't reflect on the rest of the Bin Ladens right?
...and we shouldn't hold these close personal relationships between the Bush's and the Bin Ladens against old 'W'.
But what you wrote about Barack... that is truly scary. I mean he may not have the same ties to the same people as the Bush's but he's hung out with people who have muslim sounding names!!!!! lolol
Gotta love the south.... The more things change the more they stay the same

Maybe the USofA doesn't want to be Part of the World under the Conditions the """WORLD""" demands! Ever thought of that?

No but they can't just discount it either....and at the very least...they need to have the same respect for other countries that they themselves demand!!!!!!

You need to digest some of the INFO you have,or it will stick in your Craw. Look what ties Obama has,look at the People in his Past. Look at his Goals!
The Media is sitting on so much Negative INFO about him,it's tragic. He doesn't need to be a Muslim to do a "JOB" on the US, kind of fulfilling Rev.Wright's Dream!
BHO says its time for change.... lets see how he does when the ol timers republicans and democrats alike are removed form the legislative branch... I'm not voting any partyline I'm voting for change in the legislative branch of government... Lets see how our executve branch deals with the new school legislators.
DAMN THE OLD LEGISLATORS(3 OR MORE TERMS) DEMOCRATS AND REPUBLICANS BOTH
These are the ones who are and should be held accountable. they where sent there to (state capitals and D.C.) torepresent their constituents not rubber stamp a presidents ideology, and take Pac and special interest monies as if its included as part of their annual salary.

I just last night read where Obama refuses to stand for the star spangled banner and wants to change the flag .Does anyone know anything factual about that?Supposedly a Washington Post reporter asked the ? of Obama during a Meet The Press ,"why do you refuse to stand or sing the national anthem?"Any one know where tfind out about this info as to whether it is fact?I havn't seen it.And I am not for either Mcain or Obama .I am interested in factual info though and just heard this yesterday.If it's true wouldn't more people be aware.A rhetorical ? only.

You might want to try Snopes, although it has a slight liberal bias and is not guaranteed accurate. It is generally a well respected site

I researched the email nomindgames is referencing, last week, on snopes. It says it is not true. I also checked the "Meet the Press" broadcast for the date this supposedly took place. Obama was not a guest on that viewing. Snopes also points that out.
Who knows?
I only know that a person running for President should not be in any way, of questionable character!!!
We should be able to put into office, a man of integrity, one who has shown himself faithful to the people he represents, over time. One with an outstanding record. One who supports the U.S. Constitution!
Ron Paul is such a man. He has proved himself faithful to uphold the Constitution, as a representative for over 35 years, both in Texas and Pennsylvania!!!! But of course, he was "blackballed" by those corruptors who run this country behind the scenes.
HealthyLiving: Surely Don, if he doesn't send us to the death camps first!
So, you're saying that Obama is possibly planning to send the 50 million Americans that don't support him to a death camp? Hey, it'll be helluva crowded in Guantanamo Bay. Standing room only! Move along, move along!
well, once he is elected...we'll see about all these death camps and such, won't we. I love those that say they are against both parties but recklessly bash one!!

The Patriot Act would give either Side the Capability to do it. Haven't heard neither Candidate say they would repeal part or all of the Act. It's the Prize both of them are after.
I've got to add to this BS. Who CARES where he got the money for his trips? Maybe he sold girl scout cookies.....I don't really care.
All I know is, I'm so damn tired of the BS propaganda going around. If you don't like him, great. If you don't want to vote for him...great. You're "pursuasion" tactics aren't going to make me change my mind. Digging, probing, prodding, and accusing are not the tactics used to change anyone's mind. You're entitled to your own opinions and beliefs. You're allowed to vote for who you want. The only thing that yanks my chain is the attitude that anyone and everyone with a "different" name MUST be Muslim, MUST be associated with SOMEONE from IRAN...IRAQ or some other third world country and MUST be WRONG for the US.
I LIVED in Iran for several years..... Obama is NOT a threat to us. Only change, and usually only white people are the ones afraid of it. If it's "different" it must be wrong. Whatever....it's that negative BS spewing attitude that has gotten us exactly where we are today. If his name were "JOHN SMITH" instead of "OMBAMA" this wouldn't be coming up!!!!
So, please keep your own opinion and vote for exactly who you want to....but keep the mud slinging in the pig pen where it belongs. I'm not going to impose my voting beliefs on you or anyone else....just play fair.
