It's about time he's exposing the real Obama. Dang! I thought he'd never do it. I read this stuff about Obama day in and day out for over a year now, and wonder, "Why isn't McCain talking aobut this stuff?

He simply MUST be exposed! This guy is NO GOOD!

Maybe if you read something besides the Hannity website and Coulter's column, you would get a more balanced perspective.

Oh, really? Is that why she is drawing such HUGE crowds?

Perhaps you'd better not bet.

No credibility at all. Let's burn her at the stake.

Ya know, I've only been to Hannity's site once or twice that I know of, and I haven't read Anne's column in months. But these things have been all over the news (not in the "mainstream", of course; they never report anything that might be a negative against Democrats — only Republicans).

You must get your news only from MoveOn.org and the other left wing kook Sites, and CNN, MSNBC, etc., huh? You certainly wouldn't want to know the truth about anything.

Your "handle" there...seems a little misleading?

You people prove what most of us have known for a long time: There is no one more hatefilled and biased than the liberal leftists.

McCain has "sold his soul to the radical right"? Are you kidding? He has angered the Republican base, and those of us who (according to you) are "radical" right, because he is a RINO.

But any RINO is better than the radical socialist leftist that is Barak Obama. This guy is really bad news.

Politicians smear each other, they try to make each other look worse so that they look better and people vote for them. I'd like to hear of one campaign where neither politician said anything bad about the other.
I posted this in another thread about "going negative"

Politics have always been negative. That's the way politics are. If you don't like it, keep your tv off and stop paying attention. Less than a month to go!
Well, Miss Martha:

We are in a battle here for the preservation of America as our founders created it. Yes, over the years, a lot of things have been allowed to be eroded, and we aren't as free as we once were. Our money system is fake and backed by nothing, and we have politicians that ignore the Constitution, and judges that think it is a "living document" subject to their interpretation. They don't even try anymore to determine original intent.

But now we are at a very serious crossroad. We have people (the left) who are Socialists. They don't subscribe to the ideas of freedom and limited government that our founders believed in. They think that government is the answer to all ills.

They suggest that the private sector cannot do things as well as the government, and they see business (especially "big business" — I'm not sure where that line is drawn between small business and "big business") as evil, greedy, and something to tax (as punishment for success) so that they can redistribute that money to those who haven't earned it. This is called "redistribution of wealth". All leftists believe in this, and they think it is right.

Obama is a radical leftist. He is a socialist in the extreme. He has ties to corrupt organizations like ACORN, who believe in another socialist concept called "economic democracy" (similar to "redistribution of wealth", but far worse).

Obama also has associations with a domestic terrorist from the 60's named William Ayers. There is ample documentation that this is true, and Ayers helped Obama start his political career. He also provided him with money.

Ayers bombed the Capital, the Pentagon, and other targets in his youth. Because of a technicality, he was released from prison and now teaches at a University in Chicago (University of Chicago?).

This is just a short explanation of why some of us feel so strongly that it is important to expose this man for who he is.

Finally, his church. No one sits in a church for 20 years listening to radical racist, anti-American rhetoric unless he agrees with it.

A persons associations tell us who the person is. It is important that Obama be exposed. This is not "going negative". It is getting the truth out.

As I've said in other threads, the Republican strategy has become:

Can't dazzle with brilliance?

Baffle with BS!


Judging by the number of baffled people they're making a fine attempt
