Finding those Bachmann, US-style weath distribution and prayer request for O's GM
Hate-generating slurs don't blink an eye, even with Obama's last living elder relative on her death bed. Such class. And this would capture votes how?
I have posted many many nice thought provoking messages here and have been called
s
It took about an hour after I viewed the video.
It is better than just reading something that is posted and believing it on its face. If I really hated Democrats as I have been accused of, I would have accepted it at face value. I didn't. And now that I know the truth, you could not pay me enough to vote for a Democrat this election. When a party messes up this badly they need to be held accountable, and at the ballot box is the best place to do that.
It has been release, viewed by the courts
Sme people just want to live inside the lies they create...and often are not able to distinguish reality from fiction. Most children outgrow this but, on the other hand, some never do.
WHy is disagreeing with a position viewed as bullying?
Your response is much more bullying....self-righteous and pompous I think were your words...
It is not MY party. I am not a Republican. This country would be much better off if everyone, both sides, put country first and not the party.
That being said...it were an important issue to debate, it should not have had to have a pregnant 17-year-old girl "spark it." All I am saying is, regardless of that, it is a choice whether to continue to bring into the spotlight a candidate's child for political fodder.
The point is...it was not an issue before 17-year-old pregnant Bristol. But now it is, a way to keep that constantly in the forefront. That is the choice some on the left have made.
All I am saying is...while I am sure you think it is justified, there are many who will not. And that is ALL I am saying.
I'm glad the article was viewed for what its worth
After I posted I was prepared to get flamed. I used to support Obama until I started reading and learning more about his polices. I could care less about the "Wright" thing or what his wife said. I want to know hard facts. What does he want to lead our country, what are his plans for the economy "back to life". His "tax" plan. What I'm hearing is that everytime he talks he's saying something different, and I'm beginning to not trust that. I also just read that he is now saying he doesn't plan to bring our troops home right away. He'll keep them there another 5 years. So, my trust in him is going downhill very fast. Also I think we all know that both candidates are "run" by others higher than them (bankers, lawyers, the richest of the richest, etc). Each group has their own agenda. Something that is disturbing to me (and I'd have to do a lot of research to find this article again), but I read an article that said the same people who are "running" Obama are the same people who are running Bush. When you do a search on the people who are funding Obama's campaign they are the same people who back Bush and what he does.
I'm glad the article I posted was met with people who appreciate the information and not flame me for posting something that doesn't praise Obama.
I respectfully request
that you not infer that I am not a Christian. I am certainly aware of David and the many other Biblical people. If memory serves me correctly Saul (Paul) was on his way down to Damascus breathing fire in order that he might persecute some more Christians.
irrational request...
Maybe you need a reboot like your dear Obama!! huh?
I do wish we all could make a new selection because all of his mistakes are systems errors!!
Perhaps you could make your request through
the "big bad," as this poster was the first to use the term, "Mother Bridger." Hummm, one in the same maybe? Or just coincidence? Oh, Brother!
There was an apology request.
The Security Council must apologize for infringing on the North's sovereignty and "withdraw all its unreasonable and discriminative resolutions and decisions" against the North, the Foreign Ministry said in a statement carried by the official Korean Central News Agency.
Otherwise, the regime "will be compelled to take additional self-defensive measures," including "nuclear tests and test-firings of intercontinental ballistic missiles," the ministry said.
Not saying it is not truly bipartisan, but...
it is almost entirely funded by the Annenberg Foundation..
FactCheck.org is a nonprofit website[1] that describes its own goal as "[reducing] the level of deception and confusion in U.S. politics". In its efforts, FactCheck claims to be nonpartisan.[2] It is a project of the Annenberg Public Policy Center of the Annenberg School for Communication at the University of Pennsylvania, and is funded primarily by the Annenberg Foundation.[2]
I found this on Annenberg:
Annenberg Foundation to Make Documents Related to Chicago Challenge Available
The Annenberg Foundation has announced that, along with the Annenberg Institute for School Reform at Brown University, it will make available all materials related to its Chicago Annenberg Challenge (CAC).
CAC was part of the $500 million Annenberg Challenge for School Reform that, in the 1990s, brought together civic, business, and university leaders with foundations and other groups in support of school-improvement projects. Following recent news reports that have raised questions about Democratic presidential nominee Barack Obama's role in the $50 million CAC project and the availability of materials related to it, the foundation has agreed to make all CAC-related documents available to the public by appointment. The majority of the documents are archived at the University of Illinois at Chicago, while others are located at the Annenberg Institute and the foundation's offices in Radnor, Pennsylvania.
Three summative studies of the Annenberg Challenge for School Reform published by the foundation and institute are available on the Annenberg Institute Web site: The Annenberg Challenge: Lessons and Reflections on Public School Reform (61 pages, PDF), Research Perspectives on School Reform: Lessons from the Annenberg Challenge (14 pages, PDF), and The Arts and School Reform: Lessons and Possibilities from the Annenberg Challenge Arts Projects (52 pages, PDF).
Not saying this would make them lean one way or the other...but this is where the money comes from.
I would like to request an audience with Pope Bridger.
There is so much we need to discuss!
Where is all of "O's" big bipartisan rhetoric now?
Obviously that is all it was....rhetoric. Preached we had to work across the aisle...bipartisanship...to get things done. And now, with the biggest crisis this country has faced in decades, and he has a chance to put his money where his mouth is...what does he do? Decides what is best for Barack, and that is the tack he takes. ANY credibility he had left with me is gone.
If you were really bipartisan you would not have to ask that question...sm
Just campare their experience and their records. I just hope that I won't eventually have to say I told you so.
They said instead of all the talk about it being a bipartisan
effort, it turned out to be a partisan effort (dems against pubs again).
Speaker Pelosi struck the tone of partisanship in this. Failure of Speaker Pelosi .... failure to listen, failure to lead.
94 dems voted NO!
They're going back to the drawing table.
Bipartisan politics at its best! LOL
n
Not worried. O's request for a special prosecutor to investigate
DOJ regarding the pub party's umpteenth chapter in dogging this group will undoubtedly uncover both sides to this story...can you say voter suppression? How about election results challenges ala 2000 and 2004? Third time isn't always the charm.
May I be the first to offer resounding bipartisan

I'll pass on the fries but I request lots of BBQ sauce.
My biggest fear is that our country will end up turning on Israel which would sure put us on the wrong side in the end times.....which I think are near.
Obama's suspension request draws IMMEDIATE PRAISE from across the globe.
A few hours after being sworn in, US President Barack Obama has asked prosecutors to seek a suspension of Guantanamo military trials, a decision welcomed by the world as a first step towards its closure.
"In the interests of justice, and at the direction of the president of the US and the secretary of defense, the government respectfully requests the military commission grant a continuance of the proceedings," said prosecution documents cited by Agence France Presse (AFP).
Obama wants all pending cases, including the trial of five on charges of plotting 9/11 and Canadian Omar Khadr for allegedly killing a US soldier in Afghanistan, suspended for 120 days.
"[This would] permit the newly inaugurated president and his administration time to review the military commissions process, generally, and the cases currently pending before military commissions, specifically."
Military judges will decide on Obama's request later on Wednesday, January 21.
The special military tribunals for Guantanamo detainees were established in 2006 by the Bush administration to try them under separate rules from regular civilian or military courts.
The Bush administration has declared the hundreds of detainees held at Guantanamo as unlawful enemy combatants to deny them legal rights under the American legal system.
Twenty-one people have been charged and 14 out of an estimated 245 remaining prisoners have appeared before judges.
The Pentagon had refused to unveil the body of evidence to justify the prisoners' continued detention, claiming it would endanger national security.
Obama has vowed to close the notorious detention center.
His attorney general designate Eric Holder said this month that the military commissions did not provide enough legal protections to the defendants and that the Obama team was already taking steps to close Guantanamo.
Welcomed
Obama's suspension request draw immediate praise from across the globe.
My prayer is for God to have his will in
the lady's life and to prepare her heart to receive him if as her Savior if she has done so. As for her grandson, my prayer is as usual, for God to change his heart and let him know what is right in God's sight and to seek God's guidance in his every decision.
He sure needs prayer because anyone who
is for abortion and anyone who is for gay marriage, well, basically not of God. He is an eloquent speaker alright.
JM credibility on moderate inclusive bipartisan
nm
One would imagine so he can get bipartisan 1st-hand info
It is appropriate that he continues exactly on the course he is following for the moment...cabinet building, prioritizing and preparing initiatives for day one so as to hit the gound running.
Knew it would happen. Bipartisan, my foot.
McCain's amendment that would only cost $450B and provide almost everything for the people failed. Ayes-40, Nayes 57. That's how much the Naysayers care for the people of this country. 
I'd join the grassroots movement but I don't even have a car that would get me to D. C.

Prayer is good and thanks...however..sm
I don't see where the article you posted about Ricky Rector is an adequate comparison to the Karen Tucker case where she claimed to have found God and was mocked.
There is also a difference between a mentally challenged person committing a crime and ending up on death row and a person of sane mind committing a crime and injuring his brain in a suicide attempt AFTER THE CRIME (not screaming just trying to get that point across). When he committed the crime, he was not mentally ill.
I agree and second that prayer ....(nm)
.
Noone is saying prayer alone works, Sim!
nm
Get a new line. That prayer cop-out
nm
At least YOU could stop for a while and say a prayer!
McCain did!
Do you know what bipartisan is? Both sides made concessions in order to .sm
make it a reflection of bipartisanship so that both parties would be able to vote for it. Of course there will always be some people that will not be satisfied. That is the nature of things. However, to say that because Nancy Pelosi is responsible for the loss of votes because she made harsh statements about the Bush administration is just ridiculous.
On a lighter note, a bipartisan funny card (sm)

Prayer vigil for our nation
I posted this on the Faith board but I also wanted to post it here just in case...
The North American Mission Board has started a prayer vigil for our nation before the election. If you want to participate there is a sign up and prayer guide at
http://ilivevalues.com/prayer
It's 40 days of prayer and then 40 hours of prayer at the end. Check it out! I think it will really do some good and if God's people work together and call out to Him together to heal our nation, He said He would hear us and do so!
Have a great day!
God Bless!
p.s. this wasn't meant to start a riot or to have a bunch of people who don't believe in prayer or God to get up in arms, it's just for those who would like to participate, so please don't go there. Thanks!
Prayer and reading the Bible
I agree with you and if every person who calls on the name of the Lord Jehovah who sent His Son Jesus (Yeshua) votes for McCain, I believe this nation will stay a free country. We just need to continue to read the Bible and prayer fervently to the the Lord Jesus and perhaps He will heal our land.
I am praying for Obama too. I join you in prayer. nm

Bipartisan (well, kind of) funny video on Hillary. Hope it works.

Hope this works for you all, it's worth it!!
Can we stop the bickering for a few moments and say a sincere prayer...
for those on our gulf coast, and for all the emergency workers down there to help? They are more important than anything we are saying here right now!
Fierce Prayer for Brstol Palin (Manning)

English not so good. Sad for you. So much hate. Life too short hate.
x
Oh I see....you hate small town folks, you hate Christians...
and you hate the military...you are also coming into real clear view.
Either side can fail to deliver on promises. My only hope and prayer is that
I'm honestly not 100% sure either one of these candidates can do it so where do people like me fit into the picture? I'm not even sure I will be able to vote for either one, and that's based on my personal values. I don't feel Barack is the man, like many seem to, but I don't feel McCain is, either. I know I'm not alone. I don't believe socialized insurance is the answer, I believe in going after insurance companies that dictate what patients can have done and set premiums too high for people to afford and pharmaceutical companies that pay people off to push their drugs, whether it be doctors, groups, etc. I'd like to see all with tax cuts, not just big companies. Wonderful if they get a break for keeping jobs in the US, but that should be just one of many tax cuts for all, starting with taxes paid at the pump. What about public education? We pay fees and still have to buy extra books and other supplies for our kids' education, yet many children are less educated now out of public high school than ever before because they are too focused on the proficiency tests to actually teach a well-rounded fund of knowledge, so what are the proposals to fix that mess?
No matter who gets elected, they've got quite a job on their hands, and I sincerely doubt either will be able to live up to their promises. And no, I don't necessarily blame Bush for all the problems in this country, but rather I blame all presidents and congress, past and present. Somewhere along the way, it stopped being for the people, that's for sure, and more for their pocketbooks (both Dems AND Repubs). Since so many seem to see Barack as the second coming, I certainly pray that you are right, but I really doubt it. He's had zero experience so who is to say he won't buckle under the load once he realizes what he's gotten into? And McCain isn't my idea of perfection, either, so don't reply by bashing Republicans. I want to hear facts that aren't based on party views but honest-to-goodness facts on who has the best plan in line for these things. And how do you know who is being sincere and who is just making empty campaign promises?
Gene Robinson: Gay Bishop Giving Obama Inauguration Prayer
Well, even though that Saddleback jerks is there too...
from the Huffington Post 1/12/09
New Hampshire Episcopal Bishop Gene Robinson, a vocal gay rights leader, will open President-elect Barack Obama's inauguration with a prayer on Sunday's kick-off event at the Lincoln Memorial.
"I am writing to tell you that President-Elect Obama and the Inaugural Committee have invited me to give the invocation at the opening event of the Inaugural Week activities, We are One, to be held at the Lincoln Memorial," Robinson wrote in an email to friends.
The announcement comes after weeks of outcry from the gay community over Obama's choice of evangelical, anti-gay pastor Rick Warren to deliver the inaugural invocation.
"It's important for any minority to see themselves represented in some way," Robinson said in an interview with the Concord Monitor. "Whether it be a racial minority, an ethnic minority or, in our case, a sexual minority. Just seeing someone like you up front matters."
Robinson is the first openly gay diocesan bishop in the Anglican Communion. "God never gets it wrong. The church often takes a long time to get it right. It is a human institution, but one capable of self-correction," Robinson told the Seattle Post-Intelligencer. "I believe in my heart that the church got it wrong about homosexuality. There is great excitement in my heart to be living in a time when the church is starting to get it right."
Robinson said he would love to sit down with Rick Warren but believed that the California pastor has "perpetrated lies about the gay, lesbian and bisexual community."
Sheesh, you not only hate Bush, you hate PEOPLE!

You poor thing. I'll say an extra prayer for the demons to leave your heart.
Big hug. 
They don't hate us because we are free, they hate us because...
We need to stop imposing the way we live on them. They don't hate us because of our freedom. That is absurd. When have you ever heard them say we hate you because you are free? Never. What they have been saying is "Don't tell us how we should live". "Don't tell us we need to have the same type of government that America has", and they also say "We don't need the Americans designing our own countries flag" and that is why they hate us. They are their own country. It is not right for us to go in and say you need to live the way we do, your government needs to be run the way ours is. How would we like it if they came and said "Were invading America and your going to conform to the way we live because "its' the right way" or "god has told me this is the way it's suppose to be". No, we wouldn't like it one bit. Every country lives differently. We need to stop dictating how other countries should live.
Hate mongers hate everything.

So you not only hate gays, you also hate
.
you are the one with hate
It is you and the other republicans who post here that are filled with hatred. My gosh, almost every one of your posts has the word hate in it.
