[SIZE=3]I am an American, a veteran of the U.S. Marine Corps, and a member of the Republican Party and I am outraged at the irresponsibility of the GOP's reprehensible and shameful use of misinformation to divide our country and pit American against American.

There are a large number of Americans who are clueless and narrow-minded. These are the same people who fail to demand facts, issues or well-reasoned arguments. Rather than research issues from independent sources and make intelligent decisions on their own, there are those of us who absorb the self-serving language of such people as Sean Hannity, FOX News, and Rush Limbaugh.

This is unfortunate because Senator Obama has proven to be a dynamic leader, with a vision to achieve real fiscal responsibility, develop intelligent foreign policy, re-build our military and restore, support and defend the U.S. Constitution.

Why do I support Barack Obama? He has the (1) judgment; (2) temperament; (3) vision; (4) and true American values to be a great President.

Republican for Obama/Biden[/SIZE]

With racism exposed at John McCain's events, this will scare the voter on the fence! No one wants to go backward and this riling up of the nationalists, supremacists, hate mongers is all America needs to WAKE UP and take the action to make sure that Barack Obama becomes President!

This is Obama's CAMPAIGN at work; not just the voices of a some disgruntled citizens. So, your faux outrage really takes some nerve.

And people ARE angry -- do they not have the right to be? Will Obama make anger illegal if it's against his policies?
You're comparing "rabble rousers" to someone yelling out a possible intent to HURT SOMEONE??? What is the matter with you? Mocking and little trivial things aren't the same as invoking harmful intentions in people!

There are people who want to physically harm Senator Obama , there is a difference!

You can know someone for a long time. That doesn't mean you know them WELL. If you don't see them very often, you're not going to know them well. How long ago you first met them is irrelevant.

Indeed, Obama looks more and more Presidential all the time - calm, clear and collected. Just what our country needs in an emergency.

I think he going to make a GREAT President.

If McCain wants to make an issue out of what are at best questionable allegations I'd first like to hear him explain why his self-described hero is a man who sold weapons to an enemy of the US. And developed a convenient case of amnesia to 'defend' that treasonous act.

Or would that require a little too much honesty on McCain's part?

Uh, sorry, but what's the matter with YOU? You're downplaying the thuggish tactics that come from Obama's OWN CAMPAIGN and trying to equate that with some people who chose to yell incendiary stuff ON THEIR OWN. McCain didn't encourage them to do this or appeal to them in any way. YET, Obama campaign people HAVE systematically caused race-baiting and smeared good people. That kid who hacked into Palin's email, looking for dirt as he said, was a CAMPUS ORGANIZER for Obama.

Yep, I'm sure there are people who want to physically harm Obama, just as I'm sure there are people who want to hurt McCain or Palin. What do you propose we do? Round up everyone "suspicious" and incarcerate them?

Moreover, that OBAMA SUPPORTER/HACKER published the phone numbers and photos of Palin's CHILDREN, putting them at great risk! But you don't care about that jackass putting white kids in jeopardy, do you?

Excuse me? You'll "give me one more chance..."? Oh, am I beholden to obey you and your Enlightened Leader? And you people wonder why we find you and your candidate insufferable.

I didn't even SEE a question. Perhaps you embedded it in stupid stuff?
