Thank you Texas, I respect yours as well. We both want the same thing, we just hold different opinions on how to get there. Have a great day.

I wouldn’t go as far as saying it’s a mental disorder.

But if you look at how osama has all these people swooning over him it’s like what is said about the Antichrist.

Scripture teaches Antichrist to be a political, religious, individual, who is opposed to God and God’s Christ and God’s church.

He will leave the impression that his motivating force is love, concern for humanity, and pity for the oppressed, what drives Antichrist is not love but hatred. He is a man in whom they put their trust, a man to whom the people can look for deliverance from their miseries.

Now he speaks crafty, lying words. His speeches will be heard by millions who will hang on his persuasive rhetoric. The content as well as the form of his speech will attract.

Like most false prophets, he will even be sincere and passionate. But he is a liar. He adds dashes of truth to the mix, so that his lie tastes like truth. He will use all the right catchwords, using the language of the church, even throwing in a Bible text or two. But he is the ultimate Liar, and will deceive many.

Well that takes that issue off the table for this election then. Elections are about differences not similarities. Obama wants to pull out of Iraq, give up on the WoT, give up our nukes, gut our military and rescind the Bush tax cuts. That's more than enough for me to vote for John McCain.

If amnesty passes, this country is destroyed with a stroke of a pen. After that, everything else is just rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic

FYI: Obama and McCain also agree on manmade global warming and the need for a cap and trade system to address it. This will wreck our economy. Some choice, some differences.

To be honest I wish all the candidates would opt out of the public trough. Time to get rid of the FEC.

This was a super bumper sticker. I just printed it on photo paper to use for my window (no car to put it on.)

Thanks.

I neglected to put the web site:

www.NOBAMANATION2008.com

on the initial batch. The next batch (coming next week) will have that URL in small print on each sticker so others will know where to get any of the three.

Well sure, now that he has way more money than McCain will ever raise, and no one in the party to oppose him now...

Timing is everything in liberal politics...

Why should Obama give up his advantage? McCain stands a very good chance of losing while he makes a big issue out of things that don’t really matter, like trying to hold others to things he made a pledge to do when no one asked him to. Like be nice or don’t take private pledges. It’s stupid. This is McCain’s pay back for messing with campaign contributions. McCain needs to address the real issues and stop making up the issues that aren’t really that important in the long run. But he is too chicken to talk about what really matters.

“McCain is up against the most unqualified, phony, glass-jawed, clueless, clumsy, lying, empty suit, planless, pandering”

Boy, am I glad I re-read your remarks, I thought I read: “McCain is the most unqualified, phony, . . .”, seriously, I really did. We are in trouble, because that seemed just as believable as what you wrote about Obama!

The reason that there is no conservative is because the conservative vote was split by too many chefs in the kitchen. Weather by accident or design, you be the judge. We don’t have a conservative candidate and will not ever have one again until we figure out a way to let only one conservative run in the primary. Maybe there needs to be a primary before the primary to select the candidates to make sure there are only two running in the primary. The idea of Huck and McCain teaming up was unacceptable. The bottom line, there were too many conservatives running in the primary, no wonder why McCain one, there was no one else like him running. It’s not right, that the one with the least popular ideas wins because he has the least opposition, it’s just no right.
