CNN: Obama rumor we disproved still spreading
Politics – Almost a year after it debunked false claims that Sen. Barack Obama (D-IL) had attended an Islamic school as a child, CNN reports that the presidential hopeful is still struggling to quash rumors that he is a practicing Muslim.

He can't help what he was named and even if he were Muslim so what. The FBI , CIA and the rest of the government would have investigated him and his family by now.

Caution, this may make you mad. Rep (D) Charles Rangle Tax Proposal to Benefit His Donors. “The chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee has proposed legislation that would effectively halt some current tax audits of people who get a tax break for living and operating a business in the United States Virgin Islands.”
“Many beneficiaries of the tax break are campaign contributors to the lawmaker, Representative Charles B. Rangel, Democrat of New York, according to data collected by CQ MoneyLine, which tracks political contributions.”
“Beneficiaries of the tax break including Michael W. Masters and Richard H. Driehaus, money managers, accounted for more than half the $51,900 that individuals in the Virgin Islands gave last year to Rangel for Congress, the chairman’s campaign organization.”

I can't think of any reason not to, exept that you can't vote!

He has never voted to raise taxes.
He has never voted for an unbalanced budget.
He has never voted for a federal restriction on gun ownership.
He has never voted to raise congressional pay.
He has never taken a government-paid junket.
He has never voted to increase the power of the executive branch.
He voted against the Patriot Act.
He voted against regulating the Internet.
He voted against the Iraq war.

He is honest.
He isn't corrupt, and never will be.
He is the champion of the Constitution.
He is best for America.

Tom Tancredo is leaving the Presidential race today, the ONLY candidate that is really tough on illegal immigration. The other candidates get all the greedy CEO money to keep the illegal immigrants coming in, like Hillary who gets the most. Do you think we have any hope of true democracy on this issue now?

What exactly does Obama support? Can anyone list specific initiatives in (1) healthcare, (2) Income Tax, (3) the problems of the innter city that he would champion or spearhead as president(and have a source, please). When Shelia Copps ran in Canada - the only potential leader of a first or second party in Canada I actually joined a party to vote for - she published detailed proposals of what she would like to achieve as PM. Do any of the democratic candidates have something similar(and where?)

My wife and I live in Iowa, and we have to make a decision.
There are plenty of people around, all shouting loudly 'Vote for me', but they are politicaians and not to be trusted. So I would appreciate adivice from someone knowledgible and impartial.

My wife works as math teacher, but as far as I know she cannot even balance her checkbook. Parents complain, but the union would not let my wife fired for incompetence.

I myself am on welfare check. I lost my job when local toy manufacturer outsourced the production to Mexico.

We do not care about abortioons, wars, and environment, we just want to make sure we will not lose our home to foreclosure.

I asked my Imam the other day and he told me that Barack Hussein Obama is surely a Muslim- he attends a Masjid in West Chicago secretly. He told me that Obama will surely do to America what Constantine did to the Roman Empire when he became a Christian.

It is so exciting that we are living in the time and place where America will become a Caliph and Shariah law will replace the constitution.

Please help elect brother Obama.Ameen.

I keep hearing this term when it comes to Obama. It baffles me as I haven't heard it mentioned for any of the other candidates. Seeing how none of the other candidates have ever been president directly (we all know Hillary helped her hubby) wouldn't you say they are all underqualified as the term qualified typically means you've had a vast amount of experience in that area? Was Bush Qualified? or is it that you must have a family member whose well connected? Perhaps its determined by knowing a fair amount of the elite that serves as the prequalifier?

Why don't we, in elections, test drive the candidates.
We could have each of them have the presidency for a month, then we can decide afterwords.
Genius.

If we get rid of income tax, then sales tax and other items would be taxed. If you lower Federal tax then the slack is usually taken up by the state by state tax increase. Do you trust your state to handle these funds. I live in a State with a Democratic Gov, and it scares me to think of it. The people running my State are all crooks who like to pocket money, and they never go to jail your have to pay back the money taken from the State. This is no good plan.

2007-12-20 02:37:05 · 15 answers · asked by pernce55 1

an election process that will reflect their individual votes instead of the system that is set in place now that uses political terms that actually diminished votes such as the electoral process. Has anyone else figured out yet that the way the process is set up now that all votes are not counted because of how the system is set up? If 20 people vote and then you look at the electoral process then all 20 people's votes just may not equal to zilch. WHen is this going to be fixed and why is it ignored? One of the greatest American lies: Your vote counts.

Everyone complains about our national debt, yet they act as if the government will solve our problems. My grandparents lived through the depression and paid very little in taxes for most of their lives. They saved for their own retirement and purchased their own health insurance. If you could keep half your taxes, you could easily pay for health care and retirement, so why do you want someone else to do it for you? Do you trust that they'll do it better for you? Do you believe they are smarter than you?

A fiscal Conservative. Don't throw Bush at me. He's a spender. I don't have a party right now. Clinton's National debt was 5.5 trillion, but all we hear from the socialists are his reduction of the deficit. Of course the deficit shrinks when the economy booms. He was lucky to have that Tech Boom (which was ultimately a hoax).
We need a new party!

Seeing all that Nancy has acomplished (Ha) and her agenda seems to be very similar to Hillary's does anyone think voters might see how much worse it can get if Nancy is in the House and Clinton as Pres?

I have been very interested in the upcoming Presidential election, but I am confused about these caucus states. Apparently they only caucus in a few states. Why is that? Who decides who gets to vote in these caucus', or do all the residents of Iowa, New Hampshire, etc get to vote. Do the winners of the caucus' then go on to the Primary? Why are the caucus states moving their dates up? What is the advantage?
If you are well educated on this process, could you please explain it to me?

Paul To Keep Supremacist Donation
Usually when a candidate receives a campaign donation from a disreputable donor, the money either gets returned or donated to a charity. Ron Paul wants to be a maverick, however, so he will keep the $500 from Stormfront founder Don Black. Paul claims his own campaign as a charity, in a sense:
Republican presidential hopeful Ron Paul has received a $500 campaign donation from a white supremacist, and the Texas congressman doesn't plan to return it, an aide said Wednesday.
Don Black, of West Palm Beach, recently made the donation, according to campaign filings. He runs a Web site called Stormfront with the motto, "White Pride World Wide." The site welcomes postings to the "Stormfront White Nationalist Community."

SO HOW DO YOU GUYS FEEL ABOUT RON PAUL, NOW???

Here is a sight where you can help. If you don't wish to see America pushing into Iran then get more involved or you can just sit back and complain and possibly watch Americans die in vast numbers in Iran. Help Iranians overthrow the Ayatollah.
