    Well Fox News, which everyone knows is a very conservative news organization, seems to believe that he paid off his student loans with the proceeds of his book deals. I'll trust Fox News over you.

    The only thing that you have that shows he supposedly has muslim buddies is an email discredited as a hoax. Vote for whomever you want. Just don't try to cram misleading and dishosest information down people's throats.

    The fact of the matter is that Obama is not Muslim nor will he turn the Country over to Muslims if he is elected President. Everyone that is using the thinnest possible tread of information to try to declare otherwise is just promoting fear mongering. Really....look at where the candidates stand on the various issues and base your vote on that. If you like McCain's stance on the issues, then vote for McCain. Likewise if you like Obama's positions, then vote for Obama. If we as a Country cannot start to accept the differences of other people's cultures then we are going to be in serious trouble. Maybe we already are.

    Palin Invokes Jeremiah Wright, Continues Hit on Obama-Ayers Relationship

    CLEARWATER, Fla.: Sarah Palin, the Republican vice presidential candidate, tells columnist Bill Kristol she doesn't know why Barack Obama's former pastor is off-limits for discussion, calling his anti-American and anti-Semitic remarks 'appalling.'

    I read the Fox story that you linked. It only says the "Mrs. Obama says" they paid off their student loans after getting money from Barry's books. Nothing different than what snopes said. Still their is no proof. Just their word. Since they won't release their financial records I guess we'll never know. Also refresh my memory about how his muslim buddies story being discredited has a hoax. Again, that wasn't addressed by snopes.

    So the only thing you even have that mentions these "Muslim buddies" is once again an email that's been declared a hoax by snopes.com. Partner, if that's what you want to hang on to then I guess there's no changing your mind, so I won't even try to argue the point. I might as well mud wrestle with a pig.

    I really don't care who you vote for. I believe a difference of opinion is great for this Country. I just ask that you try to be a little more enlighten than "He's not like us so we have to hate him!"

    Oh By the way, here's six years worth of his tax returns. What were you saying about him not releasing financial information?

    make an a s s out of u and m e

    OK all snoped out

    I ceased to advertise my mother's race at the age of 12 or 13, when I began to suspect that by doing so I was ingratiating myself to whites."-Truth!.

    "There was something about him that made me wary, a little too sure of himself, maybe. And white."-Truth!

    It remained necessary to prove which side you were on, to show your loyalty to the black masses, to strike out and name names."-Truth!

    "I never emulate white men and brown men whose fates didn't speak to my own. It was into my father's image, the black man, son of Africa, that I'd packed all the attributes I sought in myself, the attributes of Martin and Malcolm, Dubois and Mandela."-Truth!

    Should I even bother to looks these up, or am I just going to waste my time and find that you've twisted the so-called truth again?

    Wise ***, you libs wouldn't admit the truth if it slapped you in the face.

    Regarding this, just one click

    You know what....it was a waste of my time, and it wasn't all snopped out.

    What exactly is wrong with you? You are still cherry picking, taking things out of context, and at times completely changing words in a sentence.

    Find a new argument. Maybe something that has some truth in it next time. In the long run it can't be good for your cause to be spreading lies like this. It just looks bad.

    Notice that I've never tried to convince anyone to vote for Obama. Like I've said before...I really don't care who you vote for, just stop the nonsense already.

    But you missed the part where it was noted the quote was taken out od context and thus changed the meaning. Not a very truthful thing to do when it is so easily checked.


    See above.

    McCAIN FIRST

    This is the story of the real John McCain, the one who has been hiding in plain sight. It is the story of a man who has consistently put his own advancement above all else, a man willing to say and do anything to achieve his ultimate ambition: to become commander in chief, ascending to the one position that would finally enable him to outrank his four-star father and grandfather.

    In its broad strokes, McCain's life story is oddly similar to that of the current occupant of the White House. John Sidney McCain III and George Walker Bush both represent the third generation of American dynasties. Both were born into positions of privilege against which they rebelled into mediocrity. Both developed an uncanny social intelligence that allowed them to skate by with a minimum of mental exertion. Both struggled with booze and loutish behavior. At each step, with the aid of their fathers' powerful friends, both failed upward. And both shed their skins as Episcopalian members of the Washington elite to build political careers as self-styled, ranch-inhabiting Westerners who pray to Jesus in their wives' evangelical churches.

    In one vital respect, however, the comparison is deeply unfair to the current president: George W. Bush was a much better pilot.

    My goodness, you people have been busy this afternoon!

    I am simply amazed at how many people seem to believe anything that turns up in their inbox must be true. Glad to see a few of you have heard of Snopes.

    I think I am in good company in believing Obama is the best candidate. Here's what Hugh McColl, Jr., former chairman and CEO of Bank of America has to say:

    Ah yes...the looney world of Sherry.

    Where bashing Republicans is a civic duty....but bashing Democrats is "hate."

    Need I say more?

    It seems that snopes isn't arguing the facts of what Obama said.

    Snopes calls it false because it doesn't match their interpretation of the intent and meaning of his words.

    Snopes is notoriously liberal...and it's gotten worse in the past year or so.

    Yes, Sherry. Lets talk about the Keating Five, shall we?

    Let's start by looking at who the Keating Five were:

    Alan Cranston (D-CA)
    Dennis DeConcini (D-AZ)
    John Glenn (D-OH)
    John McCain (R-AZ)
    Donald W. Riegle (D-MI)

    Now....lets see what actually happened:

    So...the Keating 5 were all democrats, except one...John McCain. And John McCain was exonerated. He refused to do the dirty deeds and when the regulators revealed that Lincoln was under criminal investigation...McCain severed all ties with Keating.

    Glenn didn't though...did he.

    And you want to hear a funny Sherry? John Glenn is participating in Obama rallies. How about that!

    While Obama is attacking McCain about the "Keating Five"....one of the Keating five is stumping for him!

    Just more of that liberal hypocrisy. LOL!

    Magnolia agrees the McCain campaign has lied about the context of the statements attributed to Obama ... see in her own words:

    So much for context meaning anything, right?

    Auntie Em! Auntie Em! It's a twister! It's a twister!

    Wayne agrees that Obama is a presidential candidate that lacks experience, lacks judgement and who has very dangerous connections with radical people.

    Two can play at that game, Wayne...how about that!

    Pssst .... you missed the required quotes to support your claim (the whole out of context thing went over your head?) so now you are just making up crap ... wait that is the normal SOP in your case ... nevermind.
