Only if they personally let a known terrorist host a coffee party as a political coming out party. Sorry you cant oput lipstick on a terrorist.
Okay. So, in your opinion, the President of the University of Illiniois, one of the board members, also "palled around with terrorists."
Well, then, I suggest that you do a little research on McCain's rather unsavory associations in his 26-year career in politics. If you think that there is a politician on the planet that doesn't, at least occasionally, do business of some sort with undesirable people, you're really naive. Do a little digging. I mean, if you're interested in the truth. I think you'll be surprised at what you find.
Oh. And the reason you haven't heard about McCain's criminal friends? It's because Obama doesn't "go there." The McCain campaign certainly won't tell you.
Polls are all pointing in the direction of Barack Obama....we are about ready to elect an inexperienced, socialist leaning man with a questionable past to become leader of the free world..Commander-in-chief of the most powerful military..............and we are about to turn our back on a true American Hero.
Another dillisional one here! Yikes! Or should I say ignorant! This is a big problem with people like you spreading untruths about Obama! You people only see the light from one end of the tunnel and it is leading you in the wrong direction! Stop bashing and learn your politics!
They sat on a board together, a board funded by a billionaire Republican. Along with a lot of other people. Here they are:

Furthermore, board members do things like host fundraising parties for colleagues running for office. And they often sit on the same boards. Ayers was a nonprofit board member associate of Obama's--for the CAC and the Woods Foundation. Ayers hosted a party for Obama in his run for the Senate. And the other people on the CAC board (above) attended this party. That's it. That's all there is to it. Is everyone on this board therefore "palling around with terrorists"? Get real.
Do you really think someone is going to read all your nonsense here? I am responding to your first sentence! You are nuts!
Your a sexist. Don't care if your male or female. If the Conservatives talked about Hillary as the boob with boobs you would be crying fowl. Sexist hypocrite.

You might want to check out Obama's voting record and the bill's he has sponsored before you make these kinds of comments. You might also note that some of the co sponsors of the bills on this link are repubs.
Riiiiiiight--- and your posts aren't partisan at all? No DNC kool-aid for you. huh? Who you crappin?
I'm not a Democrat, so no, no DNC Kool-Aid for me, "huh."
Of course my posts are partisan. Partisan isn't the point. The point isn't a little girl. Your post indicates that you've heard, or read, these phrases so often that you've unconsciously adopted them and you spew them out with no regard to whether they're true. You brainlessly repeat them. And that's fine, to each his own, except they're not true!
"Plotting with Ayers" - ay Dios mio, give a link....
"Massive fraud initiative" - There IS NO "massive fraud initiative," at least not involving the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now (). Yet you repeat it casually in your sentence as if it's a fact.
Fine by me if you want to hate Barack Obama, I dont care. But if you use truth to make your statements and claims no one can call you out on them. See what I mean, Norma Jean?

LOL- Ok, your hypocrisy is amazing. You wouldnt brainlessly repeat something would you?You wouldn't unconciously adopt phrases from the DNC and spew them out would you? How about this:

Your Reply: "That's so neurotic, to play games like that. And so unseemly for a 72-year-old man who would surely like to live up to his PR image as Mr. Honorable....someday, just not now....
Look how he was with David Letterman of all people, lying and running across town to Couric's show, where they'd been nice to him that time and edited his statement for him. Is that the way he'd play with agencies? Generals? His own staff? Congress? Other countries' leaders?"
You don't drink the democrat kool-aid do you? Your above the fray? RIGHT! Sounds like you write the talking points for Obama----Full of unsubstantiated b.s and bias.
