I have heard Alan Keyes called a carpetbagger because he is from Maryland. But I have not heard Obama called a carpet bagger and this confuses me. Obama was not born in Illinois, he was born in Hawaii. I bet Alan Keyes was born closer to Illinois.
Obama's mother was a white woman from Kansas, his father was African, Keyes' roots lie in slaves brought here from Africa, sold into slavery by Obama's ancestors, yet Obama better represents Illinois blacks.
Obama was raised a Muslim like his father and his step father who moved him it Indonesia where he was raised as a Muslim. Keyes is a Catholic. Obama claims to be Christian, a member of the United Church of Christ, check it out, they are not Baptists.
Obama went to school on the East Coast and returned to Illinois to begin his political career in Chicago in the 1990's. He is a teacher. He worked to get Bill Clinton elected. They say Illinois is a liberal state and Kerry will win here.
I do not know but from where I sit Obama is the carpetbagger, not Alan Keyes.
I see the difference. I also see, contrary to you, that just because a majority votes someone into office, it doesn't mean that person was the best for the job. I mean, come on, that's just common sense (and, yet, it's the very thing you chose to debate with me on this thread for some strange reason).
'Night, kid. I've got better things to do.
I should certainly hope you have better things to do than to agree with Poohbah that someone is best qualified for office just because misguided souls vote to elect him.
If I wanted my words spun like that I would not be on FR, but one of the Liberal boards.
Many threads have one or more posts pulled, but not the whole thing.
But for you guys to ask to have the whole thread pulled is...well kind of like an anarchist would do.
Nothing personal intended.
I'm assuming you guys are losing yer arguments so you want the thread pulled.
I don't know yet.
Thanks for the response.
Oh and that is kind of a stretch..."part of it has already been pulled"...
I'll give it a third, kill this thread...I'm just compelled to correct such extreme acts of stupidity.
Not only did you agree this thread should be deleted, but you asked the Mods to do it.
And incidentally called someone or some posts "stupid"
Not a very good argument IMO.
Some of the posts transcended stupidity.
Ah, you need to keep that in context. Keyes threads, sometimes more than one a night are being pulled with regularity, or at least they were up until a week ago when I lost interest.
Good comeback.
I haven't read past your post, but did Awestruck thank you for making his point for him?
Good point.
LOL good try...
Clintonesque...Hallmark of Islamofacists.
Flexible...kind of like "tolerant" like the Islamofacists are until they get a foot hold.
Expedient...Kill all Americans ASAP...Babies first.
Good points
Change one letter and you have Osama.
Osama is a Muslim.
He supports killing Americans.
He is no Islamofacist? I mean he is no Muslim?
Sorry, but he is a Muslim.
Just because someone supports Baby Killing or killing YOU (like Osama) doesn't mean he is not a believer in Islam.
All good and well, but isn't better to challenge his views and principles as opposed to where he is from, what church he belongs to, and how long he has lived somewhere?
That's because it was a sentence fragment.
No it is because it is anti-abortion, but nice try kids.
:>)
I think it is likely he has no religion although he will never admit it. He will also never tell you where he got his drig money or where he was raised. Like Bill Clinton waving his Bible at the reporters, do not ask him what it says inside the cover.
Although I don't agree with some of your opinions, this post is spot on.
Oh and BTW, what is Drig munny...Drug money?
Good points.
But you may be throwing pearls...
Obama himself pushed a bill in the Illinois Legislature requiring that no person can EVER be executed if they do not CONFESS to the crime!!! Imagine this lunacy. Obama trusts the word of a murderer more than the jury who try their case and find them guilty. Needless to say his bill failed, even among his own Democrat caucus. But it goes to show how Obama is a dangerous extremist who must never have a place in the hallowed halls of the U.S. Capitol.
Excellent points!
And notice that the TerSups have no comment to your facts.
Thanks for your input.
LOL
Well thank goodness you don't, there would be one more vote for the Obamas.
