Idealistic nonsense. The 'guy on the street' gets to vote in an election for Candidate A or B from parties C and D once every four years and must otherwise pay their taxes for things that they mightn't even approve of. The majority of Americans are now opposed to the war in Iraq and yet it continues. Perfect example.

Here's another big Barack Obama supporter: Hatem El-Hady, former chairman of the Toledo-based Islamic charity Kindhearts, closed by the US government in 2006 for terrorist fundraising: Terrorist Fundraisers for Obama.

El-Hady has now devoted himself to raising money for Barack Obama; he has a page at the official Obama campaign web site, with three “friends” listed on it: “Rick,” “Fatima from Toledo, Ohio,” and ... Michelle Obama. But, guess who's name was recently scrubbed? That's right...initials MO?

Utopia here they come. Gag me with a spoon. Too bad he left out nuclear power and where the money for all those freebies will come from. Have to add that this "show" reminds me of The Truman Show movie.

Here is a link with info on every single state. All 50.

Many house and Senate races analyzed as well as voter demographics.

So what's it gonna be next, eh? We got the Rev. Wright, Tony Rezco, the PLO spokesman who's tape the LA Times is hiding etc., etc.

But, but now we got an illegal Aunt!

Obama’s illegal alien aunt (and campaign donor!) is a deportation fugitive; Turns out Aunti Zeituni Onyango, one of Democrat presidential candidate Barack Obama’s many relatives made famous in his memoir, is an illegal alien. And not just a run-of-the-mill illegal alien on welfare.

Barack Obama’s aunt, a Kenyan woman who has been quietly living in public housing in Boston, is in the United States illegally after an immigration judge rejected her request for asylum four years ago, The Associated Press has learned.
Zeituni Onyango, 56, referred to as “Aunti Zeituni” in Obama’s memoir, was instructed to leave the United States by a U.S. immigration judge who denied her asylum request, a person familiar with the matter told the AP late Friday. This person spoke on condition of anonymity because no one was authorized to discuss Onyango’s case.
Information about the deportation case was disclosed and confirmed by two separate sources, one of them a federal law enforcment official. The information they made available is known to officials in the federal government, but the AP could not establish whether anyone at a political level in the Bush administration or in the McCain campaign had been involved in its release.


Obama says he didn't know aunt's illegal status

Right...

More on The Aunt:

* How did she contribute a total of $260 to her nephew’s campaign in a series of small donations from her South Boston address if she is not a United States citizen?

** Are many illegal immigrants and foreigners submitting small donations to the Obama campaign in order to avoid scrutiny by the FEC?

** How does she qualify for public housing if she is not a United States citizen?

** How is Obama to be trusted to reform the immigration system if his relatives are breaking immigration laws and living illegally in this country?

** And why did the Senator not file a form I-130, a Petition for Alien Relative, on behalf of his aunt after her request for political asylum was rejected? As a United States Senator, he certainly could expedite the adjudication of such a petition.


Sounds like a little bit of corruption going on here, eh?
But that's OK - The One (AKA Messiah) is allowed these small foibles

I have seen enough polls and predictions that where wrong to understand the only poll that counts is the one done on Nov 4. We'll know on Nov 5 for sure.

Many thought it would be impossible for GWB to be reelected last go around and much to their surprise and dismay he was.

Yes.

I've been keeping my fingers crossed. I am positive on a BO victory as I support him, but still a little wary.

I don't trust US elections, anymore.

But I am keeping some faith and waiting for 2 1/2 more days.

At last, someone with credible challenges to Obama's economic policies (No, Jet, nothing to do with tourism)

Arnold Schwarzenegger criticises Obama over his skinny legs

November 3, 2008 - 10:08AM




Muscleman-turned-actor-turned-politician Arnold Schwarzenegger called on Barack Obama to beef up his his policies - and his body - at a high-voltage campaign rally for Republican John McCain.
Schwarzenegger, the Hollywood action hero who is now the Republican governor of California, delighted a crowd of several thousand at a McCain campaign event in Ohio by ridiculing both Obama's policies and his slender physique.

The Austrian-born former Mr Universe has hosted a bodybuilding tournament in Columbus for several years, and opened his address by inviting Obama to participate in the next event.
"Every year in March I come here to organize the Arnold Classic, which is all about building the body and pumping," Schwarzenegger said.


"That's why I want to invite Senator Obama because he needs to do something about those skinny legs. I'm going to make him do some squats.


"And then we're going to make him do some biceps curls to beef up those scrawny little arms. But if he could only do something about putting some meat on his ideas.


"Senator McCain on the other hand is built like a rock. ( ) His character and his views are solid."
McCain and Schwarzenegger rolled into the Nationwide Arena Hockey Stadium together on the Republican candidate's "Straight Talk Express", the campaign bus that has ferried him on a two-day blitz of this battleground state.

Yaddah yaddah yaddah
Arnold Schwarzenegger criticises Obama over his skinny legs - US Election


McCain is built like a rock . . . like when he got his zimmer frame caught on the steps leading up to the podium . . .


(no, no, no the last note was an injection of humour on my part)

More silliness and stupidity in another campaign.

With all of the problems facing the US, the campaign is a farce of soundbites and off-topic distortions.
