My friend's husband was murdered, and I'm no stranger to violent crime or violent neighborhoods, yet I still hold my views on the death penalty being a mistake.

evil please America has swung so far to the right that anything that is quote "liberal" sounding makes it seem like Communism. Senator Obama is no where near being a commie.

Very comical how some Obama supporters, embarassed by Barack's very obvious far left liberal posture, are comparing him with leftists in Europe in an attempt to make him look more centerist.

Perhaps we should say...What is Barack's political idealogy in comparison with other national political candidates for president in the USA?

Embarrassed? Are you kidding me?

You just seem shocked that not everyone shares your opinions.

Someone sent me a private message saying he believed Barack Hussein Obama Junior was a M & M.

I wrote him back thinking he was going to make some racist comment.

Not so, he was perfectly serious.

He said that an M & M was

A Muslim Marxist!

Watch as Obama moves to teh center more and more in the general elction because he wants to win like Bill Clinton ;not lose like Gore and kerry.He gave hints when he said he will work across party lines and a far left agenda liekhe satrted out with will not be accepted by the republicans.The art of ploitics is compromise as always. Pro Gun and NAFTA is only the beginning.
